DOT's Bug-out addition
« on: July 16, 2015, 08:21:53 PM »
So, after vacation with extensive hotel stay, I decided to do something with the sizable collection of toiletries accumulated: assemble 3 personal "kits" for each family member!

PART 1
Washcloth
Shampoo
Conditioner
Hand Lotion
Bar Soap
Q-tips

PART 2
Toothbrush
Floss
Toothpaste
Personal Wipes
Deodorant
More Bar Soap

I vacuum sealed each part, and then in honor of Dons Department of Redundancy redundancy, I vacuum sealed PART 1 & 2 together!  Keeps items together, easy to distribute, no rattling around loose, waterproof and gives me source of additional bag type structure for whatever need may arise!  Granted, not as easy to maximize space working on my PHD skills (pile it higher and deeper) within the pack, but then again, long term storage is extended with things being sealed.  I also vacuum sealed three other wipe type packages to prevent drying out- 2 freshen-up types and one baby wipes.

A question for the masses, "In a SHTF scenario, what alternatives for TP have y'all considered?"  I know in snow country, a fresh handful works pretty well, but what about the other 3 seasons of the year? :o

Good idea and good question.  I would probably use an old tshirt and then rinse it and reuse it.
Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

here is a little info I found from the us army in regards to baby wipes.  its 20 years old but I think you can get the jist of how important personal hygiene is.

I personally use WET ONES antibacterial because they are the only ones left on the market with alcohol in them.

New addition to bug-out bag: EmberLit Wood Stove

Made of stamped sheet stainless, fairly light and folds up flat in supplied pouch.  Just grab a couple handfuls of dry twigs and light them up inside stove and feed more through side opening.  I also picked up two Sterno Cooking tins which fit nicely inside, incase of needing low profile heat source or inside use.

Sets up easily and folds flat.  Comes with each piece covered on both sides with plastic sheeting which I left on until putting it into service.
