    Newthings hit it on the head.

    In his case he is preparing for a megathrust that IS coming, but no one knows when.

    A 'Go Bag' is a prepacked bag you can grab if you ever have to 'Go' or flee, be the disaster natural or manmade.

    Small tools, currency or bullion coins, first aid items, copies of ID, a compact firearm, In general, anything you'd want to bring if your whole world became an episode of Survivor Island.

    In any emergency there are those that survive, and those who perish. Some of it just luck, but some of it is under your control, and you can tip the odds in your favor with a proper Go Bag.

    What is the difference between Boy Scouts and Eagle Scouts? Or is it just a different organization of the same thing?

    I was a "boy scout" for 1 summer. Then my usual lack of desire to engage in any "group" activities got me out of it right away. Honestly, this VX clan I take part in is really the only "group thing" I have ever done in my entire life that I enjoyed...

    The funny thing is, I was going to make a rather crude and inappropriate joke about the possible difference, however restrained myself since this is a public and more-or-less "family friendly" forum.

    When properly seasoned & grilled, Eagle Scouts taste more like chicken...
