Colorado Wild Fires RAGE

You would have to be living in a bunker with zero contact with the outside world to miss the fires burning in Colorado.
What can we learn from the current situation? What can we do to better prepare ourselves and our families so that WHEN something strikes near us, we will not be destitute.

If you had y our bunker buried under ground near these fires, how do you think they would fare? What would you have to replace and repair after the fires are in control?

Our Bus is fully prepared with 15 minutes notice to pull out and hit the road, we have our 72 Kits prepped in bug out bags, and we have our Bug out Bus fully loaded to maintain our current standard of living.

We will not skip a beat, it will feel like vacation when we are forced to evacuate.

Maybe you have family or friends near the fires (we do...Hi Doug & Julia!)

maybe you fear for their comfort and safety.... when you have a Bug out Bus, you can roll right into town and offer relief to your loved ones, they can climb aboard the bus, and maintain a safe, clean and comfortable living while we pray and wait for the rains to come.

What are YOU waiting for?

We offer the solution to instability, we will build to YOUR budget, we have extensive experience with living in our bus, and we have been building since 1990.

Let us help you Draw up the plan, budget, and time line for YOUR very own

Survival Meals.

Eating is probably the #1 concern for a Bug out situation.

And our family LOVES to eat. We have a few mouths to feed, (between 11-14 depending on who is home) and often have invited guests to join us. Because of this, we have a budget.



When our family travels, we tend to spend a fortune on meals! With a gaggle of kids in tow, we can easily lay down $150 for one meal out.

The ease of cooking a meal in our bus has been one of our greatest pleasures!

We buy groceries as if we are home, and prepare meals very much like we do every day.

We are a budget minded family, in all we do, we tend to scrutinize our expenses to ensure we have enough to provide for our future needs, as well as the capacity to help others less fortunate than us. Eating on a budget includes eating nothing from a box or package. (i.e. No lean cuisine, nor chef Boyardee) .

Here is a typical weeks menu on the road. Variations when we have the opportunity to try local fare, and or a farmers market blesses us with something unexpected.




BREAKFASTS

Oatmeal with honey, butter and dried fruits.
Whole Wheat pancakes with Real Maple Syrup.
Eggs.
French Toast.
Country potatoes. (or hash browns)
Home made bread
Home made Tortillas

LUNCH

Quesadillas
Home made pizza
Muffins
Pasta (Alfredo, spaghetti)
Sandwiches
Chili
Soups
Salads

DINNER

Taco's
Fajitas
Enchiladas
Lasagna
Dutch Oven Roasts
Whole Baked Chicken
Brown Rice & Beans

Home made Macaroni & Cheese
Bean Burritos
Taco Soup
Leftover Chicken Salad
Hand Pressed Burgers & Steak Cut Fries

As you can see our menu is pretty simple, however we never go hungry! and every meal on our menu can be prepared with ease in the bus.

If you would like a copy of my recipe Please comment and I will post a specific recipe for you all!

Next week I will share with you what we have learned about eating our weeds! (and I am *NOT* referring to cannabis weed)
