Everything we need in a survival bag

[notyou2]

Juan, what is the current weight of the pack in both pounds and kilograms?

[Borderdawg]

Too many variables. Are you talking about a car kit? A full blown bug-out bag? A shelter in place kit? Long term? short term? If you're not sure, then go with tgd's version! lmao

(1) Guns.
(2) Access to someone with a survival kit with no guns.

I carry a S&W .38 and a Schrade LB7 (a good sized folding knife) always, keep 100 rds of ammo in my vehicles. I also developed the habit of keeping a small amount (40-50 ft.) of heavy fishing line (min. 50 lb. strength) in my wallet many years ago. Excellent for snares and many other things. Braid 3 or more strands and it makes a fair garrote. If I'm close to home, no problems at all! Got a 40 ft steel shipping container with all kinda goodies!

Are you the multi of THORNHEART?

You're the man to see when the zombies come home.

Typical city slicker response. I'd give you approximately 24 hours till you were crying for your mummy.

Guns.
A bow or a crossbow to hunt.
Swiss Army Knife.
Lighter.
Soap.

I really have to stress that everyone out here has at least 1 gun, or would have immediate access to one in any disaster. The Japos were right not to invade 'Merica. Country folk are as well armed as any drug cartel. You all should remain wary of that if you ever plan to form a rouge band of nefarious robber folk.
Generally, I don't think we would suffer for lack of food either, unless something very serious happened that killed all of our livestock. Prices would rise very high, but that's all. The Bronkema's chicken farm will still be there. But protein bars are a good idea for a short-term "I'm not lost" scenario.




Some of this advice is really good though. I like the idea of carrying fishing line. Those Paracord bracelet's supposedly can be taken apart for fishing line, but in my mind, by that time you're already dead.

Got three of these, based on good advice:



And these as well:




The water bottle is steel, so I could cook with it or boil water.

Road flares might work but I like the kind you can shoot in the air. The one's in my pack screw onto a pen launcher.

[maxfaraday]

Also, a big dog trained for hunting.
I like german sheperds (had 2 of them when I was a kid).

Sounds dangerous.

Don't shoot them at people's faces?

I take it you've never lived in a city. Guns are absolutely essential.

Hmm, if this thread were titled: "everything we need in a fanny pack" I might find that response relevant but I'm not quite following your train of thought here and I may need more information. As far as I am concerned a valid credit card can get you out of 99.9% of sticky situations you might encounter in the city. At the moment I see no reason to either validate or disqualify your statement.

Would the appearance of $100 in your PayPal account cause you to validate his statement?
