Well, I was right about not getting a chance to do the video blog this week. The wife and newborn both came down with an ear infection. I swear, I don’t think my whole family has been well at the same time yet this year. I may just need to do a deep clean and decontaminate this entire house, but I really think that it’s stuff that my daughter is bring home from daycare.

Fire it up
Well, I’m finally back from the hiatus. Thank goodness. I posted last week that both of my girls were sick. My (soon to be) 3 year-old came down with pink eye, and like any overactive toddler would do when they have a contagious disease - she touched EVERYTHING in sight. And that included her sister. “Aly don’t touch that! Aly keep your hands to yourself! Aly don’t touch your sister!!!” ...
heads up

This sort of thing is my bag...baby
Before I get started, I would just like to explain that this is the reason why there wasn’t a blog last week: That is my new daughter - Eva Rose. She was born Thursday the 19th, and came in at 19 inches, and weighed 6 lbs 14 ounces. Both mommy and baby are now at home resting peacefully. Okay, and now back to the blog! In the last survival blog I covered the basics of a Bug Out Bag...

It's all in the bag...
So what exactly is a Bug-Out Bag? First thing, as I said last time I am a member of the military, and we have a bit of an infatuation with acronyms so to save time on typing it over and over can we just abbreviate it to BOB? Is that okay? Yes? Good.
In the event of an emergency, there are two ways to attempt to survive. There is the traditional zombie movie method of holding in place, locking...

I am an active duty member of...
