And perhaps considering different bug-out locations for each scenario/event you're planning for, might be a good idea.Scotthttp://www.cksurvival.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836343905945224980.post-31407336043166906702012-10-08T00:18:40.392-05:002012-10-08T00:18:40.392-05:00I live Central Eastern Florida near St. Johns Rive...I live Central Eastern Florida near St. Johns River. My feeling is that I will have to leave this place. Too many snakes and alligators. And with idiots abandoning boas it is a pretty dangerous place. My husband does not believe we need to be prepared and I have no money of my own and he will not invest. Any suggestions where I should go to get out of this area for a better chance for someone who has never even camped. But I do have lots of medical experience, some holistic.

In most urban areas the rivers and streams are the natural low points. There is one thing engineers look for when they design gravity fed sewer lines... low points. Folks need to scout ahead because once the pump stations that lift that sewage stop running they will begin to over flow and flood the area. Now that clean water source is tainted and will probably experience a total fish kill. And for those that think it will clear up after a week or so beware. Sewage is full of heavy metals and toxins that are dumped daily by different industries. I still like the idea though. Scout it with google but put eyes on it as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836343905945224980.post-80057406798319787102010-01-29T06:03:09.159-06:002010-01-29T06:03:09.159-06:00Thank you Tom.

I have used some of these other resources, but was not familiar with all of them. <br /><br />Having this sort of imagery at your fingertips is amazingly valuable in so many ways.Scott B.

Some other free aerial imagery sources I've found useful are:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/maps" rel="nofollow">Google Maps</a> - Same imagery as Google Earth but works with computers that don't have enough horsepower to run the latter application.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bing.com/maps/" rel="nofollow">Bing Maps</a> - Different imagery than Google Maps.<br /><br /><a href="http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/download.html" rel="nofollow">NASA World Wind</a> - Similar to Google Earth but with topo map and USGS orthophoto overlays.<br /><br /><a href="http://jdmcox.com/" rel="nofollow">USA PhotoMaps</a> - Same topo maps and USGS orthophotos as World Wind but requires a fraction of the computer power.<br /><br /><a href="http://edcsns17.cr.usgs.gov/EarthExplorer/" rel="nofollow">Earth Explorer</a> - An enormous selection of aerial imagery.<br /><br />I hope the above information is useful.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17899420134058351431noreply@blogger.com
