You should have 3-4 days of food rations. I use SOS rations (they taste awful, but are high calorie, compact, and have very long shelf life) and I add some Jerky, Almonds, and and Cliff protein bars.]]>

You should program your radio with all the local repeaters... http://www.ilra.net/DirByCity.html is a pretty good list for around the Chicago area.

Remember, cell phones and land lines likely will be down within hours.

As to a reasonable quality radio, I'd go with the Yaesu FT-60R (about $160). You will need to upgrade the antenna. I'd recommend the Smiley Stick II 2 meter - SMA MALE/146.25 which is about $22 if you want to get decent range around here.

This is probably the second most important prepper BOB item.]]> www.hamstudy.org for free. You should program your radio with all the local repeaters... http://www.ilra.net/DirByCity.html is a pretty good list for around the Chicago area.

Fortunately, there is an EXCELLENT source for such maps.

www.mytopo.com which sells a variety of custom, water proof maps of any area in the USA, to different scales. These can include the names of property owners as well.

You will need to know where stream and rivers are. You will need to know the back roads and where bridges are. You will need to plan where you are going.

This belongs in EVERY BOB, as well as in your Bug In location and Retreat.]]>
