Pedialyte For A Survival Situation

How Do You Classify a SHTF Event?
I tend to think a lot when I have a little down time. I was on the plane for work this week and it hit me, that I am not sure h0w I would classify what type of an event and how severe it was before I were going to bug out or bug in. The more thought I put into it…
