The Bug Out Bag.
 

With doom and gloom all about, if the need does arise and you have to bug out in a blink of an eye, are you ready, remember you might have to walk. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/surv...-survival-bag/ I've noticed a few things that are missing, you are welcome to improve and give advice on improvements of the bug out bag. I got so much neat survival stuff I couldn't carry it all. Remember you might want some drone repellant.

Ditch the shotgun and handgun and get a bow and some arrows. They're reusable and quiet. The BIC lighter is also pointless once you run out of fuel. Take a magnifying glass and some flint.

The Hammock is also superfluous, and although I see tent stakes I fail to see any tent. A Tarp and some rocks will give cover from the rain for a lot lower price at the sacrifice of some comfort.

Most of all though, what these things can't give you...

Experience, knowledge, training.

Unless you have that...don't waste your money, or at the very least be sure to keep the gear intact for whoever finds your body. :yep:

Zombie detector.

There will be zombies.:eek:

Got my compound bow with fishing rig, last big thing I got with it, was a three foot black tip shark and he was very tastey. Just might take it out for a spin tomorrow see the mullet are schoolling in the river. I ain't giving up the 45s, sorry just ain't going to happen.

Do not get caught by a game warden Yubba bow fishing sharks of any kind is illegal in Florida.Mullet is legal though.Of course when the zombie unicorns invade laws go out the window.

What is drone repellent?The stuff that keeps carpenter bees away?

They forgot a regular knife as well preferably one with a fixed blade you will need that to clean game.Also why add the weight of a machete and an ax/hatchet it would be wiser to go with just a hatchet it is more useful for cutting objects than a machete which is primarily used for clearing brush you want to hide in the brush not clear it.If you only had a machete cutting wood would be a pain.

Y2K will kill us all.

I'd get out of Florida, the gators and pythons will get you.
Have you been watching any of those survivalist shows on Nat Geo?
Seems like a lot of stuff for one bag. I kinda like the idea of the bow, but I think it would be cumbersome to carry with all of your other stuff. I'd definately keep the .45 though.

How far would you bug out?

I'd get some basic medical training.

If everybody was bugging out, I'd get a good mountain bike to carry stuff and avoid the traffic.

What good is a survival kit if you can't carry it?

I got everything I need to survive on my person almost all the time.

A knife.
Fire starter (superfluous with the knife really)
Knowledge

Yes that NatGeo show is a bit over the top I like how they all have their version apocalypse as if the universe revolves around them and will end in a manner that perfectly fits their plans.And they want to carry a lot of stuff for a bag that you are supposed to have available at all times.I am sure that selling all this gear is becoming a big industry who cares if 90% of the buyers have no idea what they are doing.

To plan for a disaster that is reasonable but planning for a world ending/changing event is a bit unrealistic and even if you do you should accept the fact that you may not survive at or not for long so all that money you spent might be a waste.If the end is a nuclear war I'd rather be right at the epicenter of one the blasts to be honest.

I notice on that show that many of them have stashes hidden in various locations if you make a cashe then there is a chance that someone else can find it as well especially if they are looking for them.

I think that the Survivor Man Less Stroud has the best chance and he really knows a lot he has trained US and British elite forces about survival.

Socks....don't forget that.

Tin foil.
Bring plenty of tin foil as it will need replacing regularly as it tends to chafe the scalp after proplonged wear.
Don't forget the slate and plenty of chalk.

Here's what mine would have;
Knife
Flint
Rope
Medical kit
2 days emergency rations (chocolate, nuts, fruit etc.)

Doomsday preppers. Hilarious show. Wife and I watch it for laughs. What's more hilarious is a good number of these doomsday preppers are from Utah. At least one of which they had on that show is from Orem, which is where we currently live. We now call her "The crazy orem lady".

Yup, after watching several episodes of this show, the wife and I have decided that we are going to start doomsday prepping for the incoming idiocracy. :har:

:haha::salute::yeah: So are you going to build a bunker in "the mountains?"

No, no, were going to build a spherical shaped fallout shelter UNDERNEATH THE GARAGE like this dude on the one episode. You know.. to protect us from the EMP device from china, or the sun, or whatever. Build a fairaday cage, and then were going to stockpile a books. LOTS of books. Educational stuff. We figure after the apocolypse, knowledge will be scarce, ignorance in ample supply. Then we'll go about repopulating the earth with SMART people. :har:

edit:
Geez, youd be amazed at the amount of joking we do about this. I seriously wonder how all this doomsday crap started. Mayan calander? Too many zombie apocolypse movies? *shrug*

:haha: I believe you. I have a cousin who's into this stuff (I think). I was trapped in the car with him for 2 hours and I heard all about how he' prepared, because he makes his own gunpowder. He's really into hunting and guns-n-stuff. I like guns, but not that much.

Speaking of the show, I thought the guy that built the bunker for a nuclear attack was kinda funny. Sure, the bunker was cool, but you gotta get there and if there was a ballistic nuclear attack, how much warning would you have to get there? ~10 minutes?

Did you see the one with the trucker preper?I cant believe that guy was serious planning to still drive a semi around after "the end" seriously where are you going to find the diesel to fuel the truck those things only get around 12~14 MPG.

I think Utah has a lot of preppers because it is part of the Mormon beliefs as I understand of course they also wear special underwear.

I think for many they do the prepping make themselves feel in control of something that they can not control the bug out bag and such its an adult version of a blankie to some extent.

Is the Orem Lady that fat one the one that said something about being the only person that will have 100 pounds to loose?

Seems like people are always thinking that the world is going to end at the turn of centuries I heard that people also thought the end was near from the 1880s into the early 20th century.

Oh, there will be plenty of fuel around. The problem is that once the powergrid fails after around 72 hours without human intervention, there will be no way to get to it.

I was taking into consideration the fact that if a zombie unicorn invasion took a few weeks to fully develop or even a real event such as a hurricane that is known of in advance everyone will run and buy fuel then so in reality most fuel would be gone pretty fast.It happens all the time in any Hurricane state.Most of a nations fuel supply is stored at special facilities in the tanks that you have at your typical gas station they only last a few days maybe a week on average before a tanker needs to come and fill them and that is from regular supply and demand.

You can get the fuel out of any storage tank easily with a siphon or use a hand crank powered pump you have to think outside the box when the usual devices and infrastructure have failed.Actually people get arrested for doing this all time stealing fuel from station storage tanks that is.

All this talk about the apocalypse...

Time to reinstall!
