Hey all, Good to see everyone on here. Very cool community we are putting together. Shout out to @Michael Caughran for making it a reality, lending his skillset, knowledge, and inspiration. A bit about me, I am a follower of Christ first and foremost. Sadly, we've seen how that can put a target on one's back these days, and this group is a small part of facing that reality (more for the support of my family than my own, of course). That said, I do bring some practical skills to the table. I'm a retired military cop (dare I say what branch?), former government contractor, outdoorsman, and solutions architect. I own a spirit-led security agency in Spokane doing some really big and important things, but we can touch on that more later. I like boom sticks, fishin' (but never catchin'), the Betsy Ross, and apple pie. Thanks for being a part of the group, everyone. Hope to meet you all in person sooner rather than later. - Mike

In an unpredictable world, preparedness has become a central tenet for individuals and families alike. One manifestation of this preparedness ethos is the well-packed “go bag”—a portable collection of essential items ready for immediate use in various situations. Over time, distinct types of go bags have evolved to suit different scenarios, each with a specific function and set of contents. This article unpacks five key go bag types: the Wake Up, Shit’s Happening (WUSH) Bag, Every Day Carry (EDC), Get Home Bag, Bug Out Bag (BOB), and I’m Never Coming Home (INCH) Bag. By understanding their purpose and appropriate contents, you can build a comprehensive readiness plan tailored to your needs. 1. Wake Up, Shit’s Happening (WUSH) Bag Purpose: The WUSH bag is designed for immediate, unexpected emergencies—those moments when you wake to sirens, alarms, or chaos and have seconds to act. It is a minimalist, grab-and-go solution, focusing on survival essentials for the first few minutes or hours after a crisis begins. While many people’s normal lives don’t require having this in place for every day application at their primary domicile, I recommend this to always be in place when traveling away from home. Make-up: The WUSH bag’s defining feature is speed and simplicity. It is often a small bag or pouch—compact enough to be kept at your bedside, under your bed, or hanging on a doorknob. The contents are intentionally limited, aimed at helping you escape imminent danger and reach your next safety checkpoint. · Identification and Documents: Photocopies or waterproofed originals of IDs, emergency contacts, medical info, etc. · Keys: Car, and any critical access keys, possibly on a breakaway lanyard. · Cash/Card: Small denomination local currency for immediate needs (payphones, transport, food). · Flashlight: Preferably super bright, or a headlamp for hands-free use. · Potentially with Basic Clothing: A sturdy pair of shoes, socks, weather-appropriate outerwear, and hat.

Charlie Kirk. I found this interesting, the name “Charlie” has Germanic origins and means “Free Man” and “Kirk” is Scottish for “Church”. Revelation 2:10b Jesus said, “Be faithful to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.” To me, Charlie was a man marked by faithfulness, compassion and a care for others. He seems to have found a balance between being a leader and a husband and father. There’s so many lessons to be learned from this man’s passing. From my perspective, a few rise to the forefront. · We should expect attacks, real malicious and lethal attacks, especially when we’re a force for good. · Fundamentally, our adversaries are influenced by spiritual darkness and evil. Ephesians 6 gives us our defense spiritual defense. · We should live every day as our last here on earth, it very well could be. · Even in death, we can be victorious. I do have sorrow in my heart for his family. But I find myself very happy for Charlie. There is life after life. A book I just finished on this topic has completely transformed my perspective, it’s called “Imagine Heaven” by John Burke. Here’s a link if anyone wants to check it out, I don’t benefit, besides seeing others helped by it. https://www.amazon.com/Imagine-Heaven-Near-Death-Experiences-Exhilarating/dp/080101526X/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=1239149915040157&hvadid=77447036272558&hvbmt=bp&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=111487&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=p&hvtargid=kwd-77447284174897%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=9755_13639677&mcid=aacff30be49d3b0592ff0325ef6e2a51&sr=8-1 Seeing glimpses of other’s experiences of the even the outskirts of heaven and meeting with Jesus is so encouraging to me. I know a man like Charlie will hear the words my own soul longs to hear. (Matthew 25:23) ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
