The bug out bag

[HALODIN]

My bag would be full of bog roll, loads of the bloody stuff.

All of them mate, only 3 so not too heavy. Shotgun and a .22 for me, the other .22 for our lass or one of the kids :-)
Not really prepared for a SHTF situation, I suspect I'd just wait for the looters and ne'er do wells to settle down, then exact some revenge on behalf of the decent, then stock up :-)

Well.
For starters, much like blackstuff, id nit be bugging out, unless its to my office, which is pretty much resistant to anything excpet maybe an rpg.

However, if it was me on my own, trying to get home for instance..
Rush 24 daysack
Petzl e-lite, ledwave led (plus spare batts)
Garmin fortrex gps, spare batts
Personal first aide kit, bleeder kit and meds
Permy pens, ti spork, flint and steel, mora knife, leatherman wave
30m of paracord
Ffp3 facemask x2
5 powergels, 2 packs of sis rehydration tabs, 2 mars bars
2 pocket packs of tissue,
Sawyer water filter plus a 3l camelback resevoir
Full goretex suit inc socks
Thin buffalo copy
Neck tube, wind proof gloves, mountain hat

That lot is actually in my daysack everyday anyway
Id probably add some ammo for a .22, the M&p with a mod, and id be set

I'd take some good old fashioned maps as the USAF might switch over the GPS to SHTF frequency. Probably best not to rely on knocking on doors for directions.

Ah, well mine might be ok.......
if not theres also a compact uk mapbook.

I was wondering about a kindle loaded with valuable literature. Plus a solar charger. Tiny power usage for a lot of knowledge.

[Demonic69]

Good idea, have you read slow burn?

But what if there's an EMP attack!

Interesting idea...I subscribe to Bushcraft and Survival Skills magazine, which over the years has built into quite a reference for how to forage and prepare wild foods...being able to make that portable would be very useful.

If all the info was on a hard-drive, and the device was switched off at the time, would that affect it? (genuine question...I really have no idea).
