In these crazy times, I had to do something to sleep better at night. So I finally got my gear together in a bug-out-bag. It's packed and hanging ready near my bed with a week's worth of vacuum-packed rations that will stay fresh for decades.. If the craziness suddenly hits my little area of the world, I can just say "fuck it" and go inna woods or hit the road or whatever within 30 seconds.

It's a very special feeling of freedom, and I've slept a lot better after finishing it. I highly recommend you all do the same, even if you live in a very peaceful part of the world. It will put a certain type of lingering uncertainty within you to rest.
