Called junk Silver, 90% Silver, pre-1965 Silver or Constitutional Silver. Now that you mention it though, I don't keep any cash in the car kit. We have the kind you speak of in the car, but we have another for a subduction zone earthquake event, and those are backpacks with clothing and food and supplies that have to be carried. Sometimes you don't have a choice though. Which reminds me that I should probably keep around $100. ![]() I keep "bug out bag" in my car, which is meant to provide water and substances if I get stuck in a snow storm or my car breaks down and I don't have cell phone reception. There are only very few selective instances when one should abandon their shelter. Thanks in advance.īugging out makes you instantly homeless.
