I made a bug out bag

you are an evil spirit

One Upping... heh.

Why some people think some thing are a competition is beyond me. Sharing good info or resources in the hopes that other people find value in it is how I roll too. I want everyone to be successful!

That's your right to believe that. Doesn't make it true.

Not bad for synthetic pants. If they were down at 200g. Would be way warmer. I sold some to buy these. A luxery for south england. Maybe all you need for scotland ( with correct baselayer )

What usually happens during a riot, they light things on fire, pretty quick too. They can have my apartment, I’m renting. Glad I didn’t buy a house today that would have carried a mortgage. Schwab and his puppets would have stolen it from me. Or made me get jabbed to keep it.

What does “Build Back Better” mean? To me it says from the ashes, they have to break everything to fix it, getting out of the way is something people need to think about.

Yep! They look like they are bomb proof. I love the compact design.

I really want one for my tiny home, even if I don't set it up right away, just to have on hand. If the electric goes out, I can still heat my home and use it to cook. I currently rely on a little electric heater and I won't lie....it works, but when it hits below zero outside, It struggles to maintain consistent adequate temperatures inside.

Most of the homeless people are drug addicts sadly. There’s lots of places to bug out to. I drive all the time because my hobby is photography, Canada is big with few people.

My brother asked me for my list as well. Love that he's working on his also. Mine is really a get home bag. My best shot at survival is at the house. I keep my bag and EDC with me all the time. When we travel, I throw the other bag for my wife, in the vehicle. I really need to make her a full one as well in case she has to travel to see her mom and now that she's going back to the office, she needs one for "get home" purposes.

View it as another form of insurance.

One that kicks in when everything else fails.

100% Justme! That’s exactly how you look at this.

Lol I bought an expensive hiking backpack, an expensive oilskin tarpaulin for camping and generally spent a lot of time collecting various seeds, almost created an entire GECK and it cost a lot of time and money back in 2020 when I believed that concentration camps might become a reality

Thankfully humanity wasn't entirely as hopeless as I had feared

Look at back packing ultra light. People show you very creative ways to do this and not spend a fortune. Also look into bushcraft. Best of luck

Just clothes. Shelter and some essentials. No food or water. Just walking around with a bag of clothes.

You can secure mats with lid.

How many people globally got vaxxed? They pretty much got phase 1 done. Now climate, green destruction is coming, phase 2.

Good for you, don’t get complacent now!

Absolutely.

Havent been ignoring you. Just were on phone. You got a good pack. You got the gear. I got the bag lol.

Kate you should make a you tube and show an unboxing with everything in there. I want to make a bug out bag also!

I kept mine in my pickup for years.... Hated going into town for overnight visits to family or friend and leaving in my truck, or when I am shopping in town though, because there is about $700.00 tied up in that one bag. One broken window and it's all gone.

I'm going to get you my pretty

And your little dog too

Cudos to the OP.

Between the bugout bag, the camper, and maybe having an underground mine to shelter in, she is way better prepared than most.

A few knife options I would suggest are: the Matt Graham Condor Primitive knife, or one of the value priced yet durable Schrade Extreme survival series. They have made a few pretty stout knives, but they are a bit on the heavy side.
Matt's knife is a reasonable weight. For a lighter blade, a Mora is a decent option, but you won't be processing wood with it. A hunting knife with leather washer stacked handles is nice and light, and almost a work of art, but if you intend to abuse it by processing wood (batoning), you need a full tank. The rat tail tang in stacked washer type is not strong enough.

Insect repellent! And maybe a head net. If you are in skeet er or biting fly country, these can be a huge lifesaver.

A folding saw or a break down Buck saw is a more weight efficient wood cutter than a hand hatchet. A 2 handed light weight axe might still be something worth having, but you need it to have the 2 hand handle. Gransfor's Bruks small forest axe, Or Consol makes a cheaper version called a boy's axe I believe. The Estwing 2 handed camp axe is also a decent option.

For sharpening, I prefer just a croc stick, but just my preference.

Water is a big deal. Having a robust proven camp water filter 0.2 micron is best. Having some steel containers to boil water for disinfection, and or some Iodine tabs or Aquapure tabs not a bad backup.

For sleeping, if you are sleeping just from your bag, I would suggest a Military Goretex Bivvy sack, plus whatever sleeping bag works for your climate. Down south, a hammock with insect screen would be prefereable to a tent. Too many bugs on the ground. A military poncho will keep you and your pack dry.

But up North, The cold air under a hammock would be hard to handle. So a tent on the ground would likely be preferred.

A .22LR target Pistol by Browning or The Stainless steel Neos by Beretta, or a Ruger version. 100 rounds of ammo, small bottle of gun oil, some patches and a cleaning rod. Extra mag.

A couple traps, like a Conibear and a couple premade snares.
Fishing kit, like a few dry flies, some barbed bait hooks, a couple treble hooks a couple lures, and some fishing line. You can always rig up a makeshift pole, no use lugging that around.
A small gill net if you are around water.

A few simple lock picks and tensioners might be useful and weigh very little.

Head lamp, mirror for signalling and treating eye injuries. Eyewash cup and a bottle of eyewash, or some boric acid mix.

Electrolyte replacement powder, Benadryl pills for stings, allergies, etc, Salt, Iodine, Vit pills, MegaMinerals pills.

Tarred bankline is a compact cordage that is very versatile, and more compact than Paracord or other nylon ropes.

A small AM/FM/SHortwave radio. County Comm sold a popular one.

An ACR PLB EPIRB is a good way to signal for help if civilization still is doing rescues.

Ferrocerium rod for fire starting. Maybe a survival candle in a 3 or 4 oz screw top aluminum container.

Multitool - Leatherman Rebar, or maybe a Wingman are both lighwight and capable. Swisstool SpiritX another option.

A jeweler's loupe is lightwight and can help you remove splinters if you also carry a small needle, tweezers, etc.

Not sure what use a set of swiss files offers in a bugout situation, but they are small and light. Not an issue.

A curved repair needle is a good idea, and maybe a hot melt gluestick that you can heat over a fire and make glue repairs or affix parts with glue.

A good oil filled compass. A printed topo map of the area.

For a binocular, I would recommend the Leupold 6 or 8 X lightweight Porro Prism model they sell to Bird watchers. They are half the weight of my pricy offshort binoculars and give superb clearity. I suppose a monocular might make sense, but I have never found one of a quality that I am even remotely OK with.

Datrex lifeboat rations are the best and most compact long life survival ration there is. I would not bother packing freeze dried noodle dishes. Either carry food or don't. A pouch of noodles barely qualifies as food. A can of Corned beef hash would be preferable plus the occasional possom or rabbit or groundhog, or whatever you nail with the traps.

Some Celox blood stopper, a SWAT tourniquet and some Israeli bandages will help out in the event of a major injury.

They sell a tiny plastic bottle of Betadine that might be worth carrying. A small bottle of isopropyl acohol or some sting aid wipes for insect stings.

Duct tape applied early can prevent blisters from hiking. As can moleskin or possible an alum crystal.

SOme paracord is still useful to replace broken boot laces, or for use where more strength is needed.

A roll up solar panel for keeping your cell phone in operation. You can download google maps for offline use on your smart phone. It will stay there for about a month.

Download wild foods and herbal remedies recognition files to your phone. Along with the SAS survival guide and maybe a medical reference text.

Washrag, towel, soap, toothbrush, dental floss. small toothpaste. Hat, gloves, buff neck/face comfort item.

Pen, paper, Preferable a space pen and write in the rain notebook. A comb, Manicuring scissors, (an ingrown toenail can lay the mightiest warrior low).

Why the fuck are people planning to leave if shit goes down? If you don't have anything worth staying for, just bug out now. Tactical soyboys larping hard until shit gets bad.

I just took this picture, my BOB opens from the front as well, so you can get at everything easy. Everything is in categorized zip lock bags. Eg - lighters, matches, fire starters.

As far as my list of things, I just watched lots of bug out bag videos and picked what I thought I’d want.

Phd minimus bag. You can buy lighter from company but 400+ g is ok. Bought with dri-shell cover instead of a thinner fabric. +5c. Maybe ok to 0c. With just baselayer.

https://imgur.com/a/zcUETAC

Phd wide cut synth bag. 200gsm primaloft gold. Twice the amount of jacket at 100gsm primaloft. 1kg. Not bad for a 0c synthetic bag used as a winter sleep system.

https://imgur.com/a/aORdtXD

Sleep system on bed is fine for winter, spring and summer but could make a warmer system. Just with the stuff carried. Should the journey take me to Iceland etc.

With the orange bag also. Which I wouldnt carry. Could maybe sleep on the moon.

It wouldnt actually be warm enough even if rated to -30c. For some places on earth.

Are you really thinking? Why would anyone leave comfort unless they had to? This is preparing for the day that ends, were you asleep during Canada’s rise up? Did you see the police beat the crap out of unarmed Canadians?

You have a choice, do what’s right for you! :)

Also, maybe it would be wise to NOT post your picture on accounts where you reveal such information? (firearms ownership, etc. - Especially in Canada. LOL)
Don't get me wrong - If I were as pretty as you I'd want to post my picture too. :P But maybe not the best opsec.

Have you considered adding some contractor grade trash bags? Make an improvised bivvy, can stuff them with materials for insulation or as a pillow. Can be used as shelter, keep rain off.

Also consider...

-stuffable hard shell jacket / windbreaker. Oversized so you can stuff it with dry leaves / grass for insulation if needed. And keeps the rain off.

-throwing in a baofeng radio. And maybe a battery pack for your cell phone. (looks like you might already have that)

-storm proof matches? you probably have them; I just didn't notice them in the picture.

-write in the rain notebook and pencil or space pen.

-hat & sunglasses

-extra socks and underwear

-zip lock bags for keeping things organized and dry-ish

-personal wipes for hygiene

-add on pack with winter clothes and other items - These bags tend to sit for months unmaintained. If we are into autumn or winter it'd be nice to have such things handy.

I agree, I still keep my bugout bag ready at all times and honestly it gives me some peace of mind to know that I can simply grab it when things go south

Just built a house on a 33 mile fresh water lake here in Costa Rica, Looking out the window of my office...coconut trees, mangoes, papaya trees, chickens and cows.

My daughter is bugging out of Portland and moving here Tuesday and building a small farm.

Hope you land in a good place.
