Nuclear talks fail...

(Reuters) - The U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Wednesday it had failed to secure an agreement with Iran during talks over disputed atomic activities and that the Islamic Republic had rejected a request to visit a military site.

The failure of the two-day meeting may hamper any resumption of wider nuclear negotiations between Iran and six world powers and add to rising tension with the West, which has stepped up sanctions on the major oil producer in recent months.

If its "bug-out" time...are you ready?

 For the wise survivor, the following will likely be useful in a survival bug-out situation:

1  -carry a weapon if you can, but remember your weapon will not solve most survival issues.
2  -If your gear is not with you at work or vehicle it is around 50% likely you will not have it if you need it.
3  -Never let your fuel tank drop below half.
4  -Cary cash and maybe a spare credit card sealed in plastic on your person sealing it may help you remember it is an emergency reserve.
5  -Ham radio stays up when most other forms of communication go down.
6  -A good 12VDC-to-120VAC (or 220VAC in some countries) inverter will allow you to charge batteries phones and run small power tools if your car is the only power source
7  -Keep photocopies of important documents in sealed packages.
8  -A bicycle (folding bike is ideal) is a good item to keep in your trunk.

WTSHTF this is what I will feel like.
