Survival with pets and how to determine if you can or should keep your pet.

If you think about it survival is taking a minimal amount of equipment to survive a very bad situation. I always keep that in the back of my mind when making purchases in my everyday life, how will this help if I have to survive a situation. This thought pattern has changed the way I go thru life, while watching all the things that are going on in the world today. i live in Florida in the center part of Florida so I need to keep in mind that the state is long and narrow and can be affected from both sides as far as storms are concerned. I also looked up on the national nuclear database to get a possible places that a nuclear bomb might hit, and fortunately I am not in a city that FEMA says is going to be struct in a WW3 situation. You might ask what does all this have to do with pets, I will tell you. I have a cat, she is a lb tri-coat tabby that I am fond of and she has her own bug-out-bag with everything she will need for 3 months of survival. Yes go ahead and laugh, get it out of your system because if you do not have a prep for your animal that you will take with you, you might find that having a pet with you can get you killed. I say that for one simple reason, You have your BOB ready to go and say you have 3 dogs 50 pounds apiece. Are they trained? Have you spend time and worked with them or are they lap-top pets, you know the little or big dogs that don't listen and every time you take them for a walk, they will run. That is a bad animal in a survival situation. I you love your pet than you need to prep your pet also. Get your dog trained and cats can be trained too. I love animals but if I have to choose I will not make that animal suffer, I will put it down in a dire situation like a nuclear strike where there is going to be years till the world normalizes if ever again. Now just cause I have a cat I will give you the short list of stuff you need to have in your kitty BOB.
- Food supply should be light and sealed (no-air)
- 2 pounds of kitty litter for training to go outside (cat only)
- Any medicines or grooming aids like flea combs, brushes, etc.
- cloth-sided carry pouch
- STOP clipping nails, the cat will need them, A cat without claws can not defend itself if you are outside like in the woods or camping area.
- Leash and collar (several)
- 100ft clothes line. to train the cat for your perimeter.
- water & food bowl
