  1. Eggs in the cooler… If you are able to get fresh eggs that have not been rinsed off, you can keep them in a regular container and not have to keep them cool. Much easier for transporting when cooler space is tight and they still last a long time.

    1. But during a crisis, it may be feasible. I submit we are in a low level crisis now. Even in a rural county like ours, violent crimes are increasing, theft and burglary are increasing. Drug use and accompanying mental incapacity are increasing, the socialist cities and states continue to increase in increase of third world disease outbreaks of typhus, measles, and other socialist policy-amplified diseases. Good time for getting out and working your load-out plan.

  3. Thanks for the details and your thought process. Thinking about what EXACTLY to bring and how to pack it is a great idea! FYI for people that don’t have trailers, harbor freight has one for less than $100 that folds up when not in use. Just needs plywood for a base, and a few cheap upgrades to make it better.

    1. StandardOps, just be cautious with those trailers. They come with 12-inch tires. You may not want to go 2,000 miles down the freeway at 70 mph or through rough terrain with them, unless you’re carrying a couple sets of spares.

      1. Along with some better tires (and maybe a tubeless plug kit and Slime tire sealer in the tires) pack some extra wheel bearings (and grease) along with an inexpensive bearing puller in your tool kit ($10+-). I personally have had to replace bearings on a boat trailer w/ 13″ tires more than once on the road side. It only takes 30 minutes or less, but I’ve come to the conclusion that I will never own a trailer with (axial weight supporting) less than 15″ tires / rims. I’d rather have a trailer that is too much, than one that is too small. (I’m talking about small to medium cargo trailers)

  4. Great article, enjoying as a Cracker too. You should also include feminine products (washables) and birth control items. Take up small amt. of space but vital. (Not a good time to become pregnant.)
