If there's one thing that preppers like better than dried beans, it's acronyms. Here are a few that you can toss around to prepare for the end:
BOB: Bug-out bag, a ready-packed kit full of food, water, first aid and other emergency supplies and tools to enable short-term survival in an evacuation. See also BOL (bug-out location).
BOV: Bug-out vehicle, which ideally will be equipped to survive an EMP (electromagnetic pulse). Otherwise you might have to rely on a BOB (bug-out bicycle).
GOOD: Get out of Dodge.
INCH: I'm never coming home.
FEMA: Foolishly expecting meaningful aid, or why some preppers think YOYO (you're on your own) in the case of a big disaster.
WROL: Without rule of law, or why magazines devoted to survivalism often have reviews of weapons and body armor.
TEOTWAWKI: The end of the world as we know it.
WTSHTF or SHTF: Similar to TEOTWAWKI, loosely translated as when the feces make contact with the air circulator.
