KingMusa45 · 07-19-2008, 03:27 AM

what kinda clothes do you guys n gals have packed in your shtf bags?
so far i got 2 pairs of 5-11 tactical paints, 3 black tee shirts, 1 pair camo shorts, 7 pairs hiking socks, 2 pair thermals tops n bottoms and a hooded sweat shirt.
as the seasons change i plan on changing my pack to soot the needs of the weather.
also to get used to my pack weight i wear a weight vest with 55 pounds on it while i go about my every day life.

In the bad old days, when I carried a real SHTF pack, I had:

2 pairs of socks,
1 pair underpants/shorts.
1 set/pair thermals (long johns & long sleeved undershirt)
1 pair BDU waterproof trousers (pants to you)

1 waterproof Poncho on my CEFO utility belt along with the other sh1t.

My BOB has...

One set of Woodland BDUs - pants, blouse and boonie hat
Two pair under shorts (FOTL to be precise!)
Two camo T-shirts, long sleeve
Two pairs of wool boot socks

For winter, I add a set of thermies (dyed OD), and a fleece-lined sweatshirt in dark blue (can't find camo in my size) and hunting-camo coat. Florida winters are't too severe.

I'll likely be wearing Jeans and work shirt on the way out - the better to NOT look like a target - hide among the sheeple if needs-be, then break from the herd. Change into wolf-duds in the outback.

I go to Wally world at the end of the hunting season and have two pairs of Camo pants, two camo shirts, four pairs of thick hunting socks, underwear, gloves, hats, and a vinyl camo poncho and shirt and pants for wet weather. Got two brand new pairs of camo combat boots. one small med / sewing kit. A Berky sport water filter, potassium iodate, and extra meds. Lighters, swiss army knife, magnifying glass, compass, binoculars, mirror and maps. I've decided Woodland camo is best for this area.

I'm going to strip nekkid and cover myself with mud to hide my scent.

sheeple, the perfectly breed domesticated animal.
it comes in a variety shapes, sizes, hues, and levels of sanity.
apathetic, selfish, and easily manipulated, perfect mindless masses for he who wants to subjugate nations or planets.
so come on down to the sheeple shack and pick you up a few.
and remember it's like my ol pappy useta say "keepem entertained and you can control their brain."

Yep, save your camo for when and if you need it. Wandering around in the country camo'ed up with a gun is likely to make the locals nervous.
Rather than have camo clothing, I have a long camo robe with hood. I use it for squirrel or deer hunting as needed.

I have two sets of 5.11 ( I get them for free might as well use them).
four sets of socks and foot powder (must keep feet dry)
three sets of underwear
two long sleeve shirts
one jacket w/liner and hood (also acts as rain gear)
poncho
Extra set of hiking boots (all laces replaced with paracord)
Extra boonie hat
Thermals
Parka w/liner (also acts as rain gear)
wool cap
gloves w/inserts

I think that's about it for clothing. Probably forgot something.
