We did discuss this before, but pics would be nice.  With the recent missile warning, how and what are you guys bringing if you had to bug out?

I'm looking for a discreet case that would fit my rifle that also follows Hawaii's law for "enclosed container".  But not a musical instrument case either, because that could be an item of value and a target for thieves. Something with easy access if needed, so not just  a big bag.

For the warning, I had our pistols packed in our BOB's in a soft case (compliant with Hawaii law).  The soft case were at the top of the BOB's so if needed to be accessed quickly, then it would take a few seconds.

I did a google search, but hearing from others may provide info that I wasn't aware about or even thought of.  Also there are a lot of folding assault pistol bags available, but useless when you have a 16 inch barrel.

How's your H2o set up

How's your H2o set up

4 cases H20 in cabinets
1/2 gallon in each BOB
1 gallon next to toilet (for flushing, but drinkable if SHTF)
3 gallons in fridge (Need cold water when SHTF  )
2 portable water purifiers

I will end up buying more cases of water every week when I go shopping.

If im forced from my home because of a missile strike (no point running before the blast) My rifle will be on a sling an my pistol on my hip.

Once you open your mouth, people going think we was invaded by England.

In the case of ICBM, unless you know that you are in & will be directly affected by the immediate blast, have a "Bomb Shelter" or safer area to bug out to, you're better off sheltering in place and avoid the  and protect what you have.
If you do B.O. you've got less than 10-15 minutes to do so, as does LEO and everybody else.  Can't see any LEO stopping to make an arrest even for brandishing when he /she has the same amount of time to live/ seek shelter.

JMHO

If you don't have a fully stocked bunker during a missile hit there's nothing to be done.

In a situation that requires a BO the police will either have their hands full with looters or simply decide to not show up.

Either way the best place for a gun is at your side holster/sling so you can use it if you have to, either on others if they attack you or on yourself if you are covered in burns and are pretty sure you will die anyway.

If you are not effected by an initial blast and radiation burst, the most concern would be fallout.  You would not want to breath it or ingest it.  A thorough wash/rinse with soap and water would be good for removing contamination after moving out of the fallout area.  ditch all clothing that is contaminated.  it would be hard to tell if you got it all off without a counter.

Some of the same things Homeland recommended for a possible chem attack are appropriate for fallout.

Duct tape and thick, large sheets of plastic/polyethylene, contractor size thick garbage bags, sealed food and water supplies, stay ahead on necessary drug refills, and perhaps a surplus gas mask for each family member.

Additionally, you'll be wise to have iodine pills to help reduce the risk or thyroid cancer.  Non-porous rubber gloves are needed and mask inserts if you wear prescription lenses.

If you go out, you'll need to dress in plastic -- basically a DIY radiation suit.  Use duct tape to seal all seams, and learn to use your mask properly.

A geiger counter can be purchased online as well to ensure your environment and people coming inside are not contaminated.

I went though NBC training many times.  You spend as much time preparing to go out and come back in as you do outside.  Limiting outside exposure is important, but you may not be able to live in a plastic-lined room without more supplies.

With a little prep, some everyday supplies, and some training, surviving fallout is very realistic in Hawaii if the winds are cooperating and taking the radiation out to sea.

Maybe was a typo but just want to point out you want a potassium iodide pill, not iodine. I recommend IOSAT. FDA approved, full strength, etc.

Thanks.  More interested in the picture than getting the words right.   

What about iodine bottles/tablets?

Potassium Iodide works by filling your thyroid up with that, thereby preventing the thyroid from absorbing radioactive contamination.  It can make you very ill if not used properly and at the right time.
