Bugging Out

Bag essentials... [More]

I'm reminded of how I used to camp when I was single--very minimalist, and what I could pack in is what I had for the duration. Come marriage and children, and tent camping gradually gave way to cabin-dwelling, necessitating a van load of everything up to and including a tv/vcr with a good supply of Disney Singalong and Thomas the Tank Engine videos.

You know, essentials. For roughing it.

I sure hope I never need to bug out. How in the world will I ever be able to safely transport my Franklin Mint "Diana, the People's Princess" and "John Wayne, American Legend" collector plates...? (I don't need to explain tongue-in-cheek here, do I?)
