[Shellie]

I keep an entire hiking pack packed in my car. Between keeping the usual quickie emergency gear in my car that everyone should have (especially since I'm from Michigan), I decided that instead of having a bug-out-bag I'd do just as well putting it all in one bag and leaving it in my car so if I was at work and had to "bug out" I wouldn't have to waste time going home first. By the time I added wool socks and hats and jackets for two kids etc. as well as a little bit of food, it turned into one pretty big pile... so I decided what the hell, and added a sleeping bag etc and stuffed it in the hiking pack instead of the day pack.
