I’ve been buying a bunch of camping/backpacking gear recently, including a couple of water filters and a bunch of freeze-dried meals I found on clearance at Costco (assorted 10-pack box for $10, or $1/meal!). I tell myself it really mostly is for camping (especially since my kids are getting into cub scouting), but I’d be lying if I said the possibility of bugging out wasn’t also at the back of my mind.
I also built myself a new computer recently, and went for small-form-factor instead of a normal tower case just in case I need to move on short notice/with limited ability to bring belongings. I’ve also been simultaneously waffling between trying to fix a bunch of stuff on my house so that it’s in good saleable condition and hesitating to spend money on stuff that can’t be easily moved. It’s a weird feeling.
