With what I’ve got on me right now?
Yes. Wouldn’t be too comfy, but even in MN temps in March... Yes.
With what’s in my truck? I could probably make it a month or so. My BOB isn’t huge, but it has everything I’d need to set up an extended stay shelter, trap lines, line/hooks/sinkers for fishing, mylar blankets, etc...
From camping/hunting, I know what works for me and how to use it properly.
“...My BOB isn’t huge, but it has everything I’d need...”
I love toying with my Assault Pack or Bug Out Bag (actually a multi-cam ruck). I pack it lighter than I do my oversized Kelty external frame pack that I use for easy-going backpacking because I figure on weapon and ammo weight I’ll be carrying when tough times arrive. My poor geriatric knees will be challenged.
So in this BOB goes my one-man tent (very light, very water proof, but fetal position for my 6’3” self) a camo bag that compresses quite small, a camo large fleece blanket, extra interior clothing, rags, towels, knives, small flashlights, food, water purification filter and taps, canteens, sundries, and it is always stuffed tighter than I intended. In summer I would switch to lighter-smaller fleece but still take one as well as more insect repellent and skin oils (chigger specific cocktails). Most people fear thickets but I intend to weasel right into them if I’m to avoid detection and that means America’s other red menace-chiggers and assorted bugs will be an ongoing problem.
Roger that. Like the water filter I keep in the vehicle that would allow me to drink ditch water. No boiling necessary.
