The Bug Out Bag.

yubba · 05-19-12, 08:08 PM

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.

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.

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.
