We moved to Northern Ca three years ago. No problem the first year, the second year there was a lightning strike on some federal land about 10 miles from our home. The feds would not allow the local FD to help. They put the fire out and left, and it started back up. Instead of the 1500 original acres the restart took another 25,000 acres. Then last summer a lumber mill close to us had some mishap and that sent another fire towards us. We have pets and my elderly mother with us, trying to get out with enough stuff has been pretty hard. We'll do just as you describe, pack clothes and a little bit of food in a TM and off we can go. Ideally we would like a 2518, the sofa one. I don't think we can swing a new one though, so we will see what we can find.
