Curious as to what you consider a 'bug out' situation
But so far I haven't yet, as I haven't decided if it would benefit me in a bug out situation, and space is a premium in the backpack.
Thank you for this well written and helpful reply.I don't travel much but when I do, I'm paranoid about critical devices breaking or getting lost. Aside from carrying a spare watch, spare glasses and so on, I always travel with a spare phone. The consequences of a broken phone--as your flight is being cancelled in the middle of nowhere during a snowstorm--are major. I'm surprised more people don't do it. I happen to have an iPhone 6 (my main phone is the 6S+); when I go somewhere, it comes with me.
The EarPods are more expensive than that.I will give you $25 for it.
want to sell it?I use my iPhone 6s Plus 128GB as my primary phone for personal, business and all entertainment needs. But I already have an iPhone 6 16GB with me. How can I use it as a spare phone?
Spending money up front is worth it to me if I can reap bigger benefits later on.
For example, you can eat cheap, crappy food now, and spend much more money on health care later on along with emotional issues that can be attributed from health issues worth more than money.
Or, you can spend more money now on organic, healthy foods, take care of yourself, and live your life without huge medical bills, medications, and emotional problems that may be attributed with it down the road. I would rather choose this path. I pay more now, but save much more later, plus extra benefits.
The following example of my phone money saving is only based on someone who likes to have a new, upgraded phone at every generation. Obviously keeping a phone for multiple years will save even more. But for me, life is too short for slower, older technology that pisses me off as long it doesn't hurt my lifestyle.
Before I bought my 6s plus (128GB), I had the 6 and my old backup phone, the 5S(64gb).
I sold the 5S for $450 at the time the 6S series was introduced. Had I sold the 5S months after the S release, I may have only got $300 or less for it. So the difference I saved by selling it at the right time vs later netted me at least +$150. I could not have had an extra $150 without another backup. This is an example of my money savings. Plus, I have a back up for all the other examples I listed above.
I used the $450 from the sale to buy my current 6S Plus (128gb) for $680 (by being patient) when it retails at $1015 with tax included. So, when all was concluded, I only paid $230 for my $1015 phone AND I have a back up phone ready to do the same thing when the 7 series comes out.
The EarPods are more expensive than that.
To me, bug out means a situation where I would not want to be in, and hopefully the items in the bag can help get me out of. That could mean getting lost, getting attacked by animals or humans, extreme weather, or being in an accident. It could also be used to help others in a bad situations.Curious as to what you consider a 'bug out' situation
You're an entrepreneur but cannot think what to do with a spare phone?
Maybe you should consider changing careers...
That was funny, though.Wow! What a wonderful response!
