Got ur "bugout bag"???

Free episodes:

I've maintained a "bugout bag" for 30 years, but I can tell you the LAST place you want to be during societal collapse is living in a parking lot 100 miles from home begging military bureaucrats for food and water.

During economic collapse you bug IN.

Bug-out bags are for when you must leave your house fast due to a chemical spill or sudden natural disaster like flooding or tornado and live on the side of the road for a week because the roads are so clogged you can't make it to your friend's house in the next state.
 
I'm too broke to afford prepping. When I'm debt-free perhaps... I also live in a city, so no use bunkering up when you have a million neighbors.

Worst case scenario I'll put my outdoor survival books and some tools in a bag and head for the rurals.

Don't forget, if it planet x, zombies or a Dr Doom solar flare send us Mad Max-ing it that many homes have a hot water heater that stores quite a bit of water to scavenge - brings your tools!
 
Prepping doesn't take a lot of money.

Start saving up plastic orange juice jugs. Fill them all when you think the water might go out.

Next time you grocery shop, buy two cans of beans instead of one. Set up an inventory rotation schedule. In a year you'll have built up a one-month food cushion.

Invite your neighbors to a hamburger cook-out. Find out which ones have skills you could share like a nurse, a mechanic, a great cook, a retired cop, etc.

Establish a mutual bug-out bedroom swap with your cousin in another state. Talk about it ahead of time.

Make a hard-copy backup schedule of your medical info, bank accounts, insurance phone numbers, etc.
