Visine, Hey maybe look into reducing your BOB clothing to include what you are wearing and one extra of pants and the sweatshirts should go if you have a sleeping bag and blanket...Also, a large piece of Mylar to wrap yourself in simply to in to keep your own heat in in times of need. I just wonder if any of us will carry our laundry very far? Not trying to be a smart A.. just thinking
definitely due the two pair underwear and socks type stuff.

Skyowl, will have the location in few minutes I hope the better half is working on it right now.

Nice job Visine, may I suggest a roll of black electrical tape, peel and refold 4 6ft sections of duct tape, then have a bit of thin metal wire like the craft type. I didn't see it on the list so I thought I'd mention it. YouTube has a Survivalist guy doing prep videos if anyone is interested. The better half of me found it the other day.

Can you provide the name of this guy that made the videos? There are a lot of videos there under "Survival" and some are pretty stupid, like the two guys from ZSA.

I've got a huge list of things that need to be included, however, there isn't enough room in my pack to carry it all. Following the lead of Mags huge list, I made up my own, and although my pack is full and heavy, it's only carrying about a 1/3 of my total list of items...and I'm continually adding to it.

Trying now to sell off or trade my '61 Ford Falcon so I can get a motorhome or a truck and camper.

That looks like complete ass! Just send it all to me and start over!;):p:D

Looks pretty good, it's almost 0400hrs I'm beat and hittin' the rack. I'll check in again in the light of day.

I have a pocket knife clipped to my belt, along with a KaBar combat knife, whetstone, 2 magazine belt mounted clip holder, Glock 21 in holster, and my maglite belt clip. I also have two bic lighters in my right pocket.

Don't forget the basics like a knife, matches and soap...
