ReplyDeleteFrom you three Chigger,Shy Wolf.PrepperMom, I would say Bug out equipment is diverse as people using it.My pack,Lg Alice contents are similar to shy's but with a lot of food making items,premade snares,2 trot lines.Shy I like 2guns 1 caliber concept have been kicking that one around for a while,still haven't settled on solution.
ReplyDeleteOOPs: yes, I didn't put the snare wire and fishing tackle in, but they're there, inside the med kit- since they're 'emergency' use. I've considered carrying the snare and fishing stuff on my person- not much room for lots of security- but I'm already loaded 24/7 with 'tools' hanging off my pants.
ReplyDeleteMy Get Home Bag (GHB) is a lot lighter and smaller than the BOB, too. Lots of redundancy, as you say- but "one IS none" is so true when your life is at stake.
The 2-gun-1 caliber solution came my way totally unexpectedly though I've always liked the idea. A blog reader had the rifle for sale, so I got it at a fair price and turned it into my MBR and bug out weapon.
A friend of mine has the Thompson Contender in .223 and carries a 9mm as sidearm and AR15 as MBR, so he's pretty one-caliber oriented. I prefer the Police Six to the TC, though- lots lighter and more rounds.
I like the ALICE pack- lotsa pockets and roomy- but I've had the backpack forever and since it's what I'm used to after all these years, stuck with it. For someone just starting out, I'd suggest the ALICE pack, Medium, unless they're considering a combat scenario and survival situation. A small ALICE is an excellent choice, IMO, for EDC/GHB, though a little 'none gray man' for my taste. And being 'gray' is what we definitely want to be till it's time to get offensive.

Probally very true not looking militant could possibly save your life.So gray man could be good.My get home is actually I guess you would call it a book bag one of kids were done with it. And yes lg packs are easy to overload.if its too heavy to carry not gonna do ya much good.Good advice Bro thanks for droppin by.
