| Senior Member | My Gear checklist... I havent given alot of thought to this subject until recently. Thought I might make a list of what I need, acquire it as quickly as possible. Here is my list tell me if you think Im forgetting anything of extreme value. 1. Rifle w/open sights(10/22 for example) 2. Shotgun (preferably a upland or HD model with a short barrel) 3. Ammo for both guns. 4. Fishing equipment(one of those compact telescopic outfits you can get at wal-mart complete with all the fixings) 5. A fixed blade type survial knife. 6. A game cleaning kit 7. Rope at least 100 yards worth 8. 2-Compass's 9. Canteen & a few gallons of water 10. MRE's, Canned and Dry Good(figure a few boxes of instant Oatmeal would be nice) 11. Coleman lantern 12. Coleman single cooking surface 13. 3-5 Coleman propain tanks 14. Small set of cooking untensil and eating ware. Maybe 1 mid size skillet 15. 2-5 gallons of water 16. Binoculars 17. Water Proof Matchs 18. Extra socks and underwear 19. Extra pair of shoes, preferably another pair of Rocky Boots, but if all I can get is a pair of Converse Chuck Tailors then so be it. 20. 2-3 tarps 21. 2-3 Thermal Blankets 22. small am/fm radio 23. my cell phone until it dies(never know might have time to locate a few close family members power in numbers) 24. toilet paper or wet wipes(never know it might be winter when SHTF) 25. extra jacket, poncho, gloves, toboggan 26. The Bible 27. Small Hatchet. 28. multi-tool Probably need 2-3 very large bags to carry it all and will leave a trail behind as it starts to get heavy if I continue to run once Im in the woods. But as Ive heard most say once you enter the woods ppl wont be as likely to come after you.

| Senior Member | rather heavy load if your carrying all that on your back????If you can store that and more in a vehicle and plan on setting up camp close to your vehicle or have a secure area you can stash all that gear and return as needed then great!!! when I lived in AZ i was able to take my 4x4 into a lot of places and was able to set up a base camp and go from there? I was lucky never had anything stolen or damaged, today, I don't know ???? Last edited by mym1a; 02-05-2008 at 01:14 PM. |
