What's in your ready bag

Posted on 09/01/2005 7:46:56 AM PDT by vrwc0915

What’s in your ready bag and why? I thought that I would start this thread so fellow minded FR’s could compare notes and learn. Everyone will have different regional needs so keep that in mind Here is Mine: My pack is a hydration backpack made by Platupus in un scary blue color Everything is vacuum sealed with one of those food saver thingies

First Aid: Epi-Pen’s x2 Z-pack Antibiotics x2 Bynadrill caplets Acetominimin caplets Super glue Suture kit Various dressings Topical Antibiotic Laminated card of useful med’s Hand Sanitizer

Nutrition/Sanitation: Spare smartwool socks Wet Napkins Water Filter Water Purification chemicals Collapsible cup Tuna pouches PB Bars Sunflower seeds shelled Gum Toothpaste/Brush Insect repellent Sunscreen MRE Backpacking stove +small fuel bottle

Preventative Meds: Pt-92 9mm (similar to m-9) chosen for low cost yet dependable 4 9mm mags in addition to one in pistol 2 30rd 7.62x39 mags (rifle is next to pack) Bayonet for rifle Cleaning kit and spare parts for rifle/pistol Vac Packed 7.62x39 about 50rds

Other Stuff: 5 liters of water in hydration bags GPS Batteries rechargeable all devices use the same size Matches Poncho Small blanket the foil kind 2 frs radios Solar charger for batteries Surefire knockoff led tac light Scanner preprogrammed for local and fed agencies

All this fits in one pack and weighs about 35 lbs. This is my warm weather pack in the winter we have different packs My wife has one similar in the first aid/food/sanitation she doesn’t carry as much ammo and few electronics to keep it light for her

Might be wise to purchase that remote unimproved land for a bugout destination. As long as it has water, the rest can be dealt with in time. Someplace remote, which is off of the refugee track.

I have caches at different ranges and different points of the compass at friend homes or other property. The distant ones are based on most mileage capable with my vehicles and carried fuel w/o refueling. Closest is one days walking distance if left afoot......

I'll check back this evening....gotta go play !

During the Y2K insanity - my dad was at a dinner party with his idiot new wife's friends. They were comparing notes about what they were stockpiling in preparation of the complete societal breakdown at midnight 1/1/2000.

When the conversation came to dear old dad - they asked him what he was gathering... dad said, bullets.

Bullets? Why?

Because with my bullets, I can have all of the things you are hording.

Dad was an NRA member.... ;^)

Well that usually only works if the people your are looting from don't have ammo of their own. Age old proverb "If you go looking for trouble you will find it" Another shameless quote "Many of you think you are bad asses, You are not" I am hoping that you are not advocating stealing others supplies at gunpoint. I realize that you dad had a catchy saying but to really act on it is........

Did anything happen on 1/1/2000?

I'll assume dad didn't need his bullets. He was just remarking at the stupidity of the Y2K insanity.

These people were gathering 50# bags of rice.... he thought it was stupid.

I do not advocate anything except sex, beer and rock and roll. ;-)

Well, it started as a bug out thread, and has turned into, "Hell, might as well stay and roat and toast a few!"

LOL!

Well, I've lived in Hurricane Country and had a plan of action in that case. How do I handle Earthquake Country?

BTW: Kahr Arms P9 in my ready bag. Along with granola and gatorade.
