Image comes to mind of ChevySoldier humping through the woods with a 40 gallon water heater strapped to his back...
That isn't too bad. Although after the first 10 miles it starts to get a little heavy.
Honestly, the biggest threat to survival right now, is a collapse of the food supply system we all take for granted. If the economy ever really failed, we probably wouldn't see food in the groceries for a few weeks. A supply of canned food in the house is a very good idea. I keep enough for 30 days, not fancy, just enough to survive.That is the biggest thing I need to take care of.

You know, I've frequently said there's no reason... but I think I'm going to create one for the hell of it.
Will be a fun exercise in paranoia nonetheless.
all the cool kids are doing it.
Fire, water, knife, warmth, gun(s), ammo. I think that would be the minimum. Maybe I need to consider one of those camp purifiers for water.Boiling is better. Once is hits a rapid boil, let it cool, it's ready to drink.
dont forget the ultimate barter itemlol. The pic didn't come up right away and I thought you meant tobacco, alcohol or gold/silver.

Makes me wonder Nick.

I would have called the cops and been ready to pull my gun

WTF!
....and that motherfucker in that picture is married! That dude has ass problems for sure! That's not normal.
Ok, Aerik...
Wtf are you doing that you have a link to that picture?
wait wait wait. You are getting on Aerik for linking to that but you looked at it long enough to notice he has a wedding ring on?? Umm...yeah....

Your list is flawed!! not a word about EXTRA ammo or a spare gun? you need more then one come on!Firearm(s) and ammunition.
The "(s)" after firearm means "more than one"
But yes you are correct.

I dont plan on leaving my hilltop hideout. My house is isolated with a clean line of site in all directions for a long ways. I'll just stay here drinkin beer while the wife and daughter pick off the zombies.
That's a good plan as long as the zombies don't overtake you and you are forced to leave.
Story time... one of my friends got his parents gas masks. And they were basically confused as to why he would do that. They lived over by Dayton, between the I-70 freeway and the East-West railroad tracks. In one months time, there were 3 industrial accidents, that caused major chemical spills and evacuations in their area. They called back and said come over and show us how to use these gas masks...Bug out bags shouldn't be any heavier than what can be carried in a decent march out of trouble. Worst case is on foot. Opinions vary a lot, but you know it's going to be food, water, air, and shelter, for minimum survival.
When people go hiking, I try to convince them to have a mini bug out. What you carry on a web belt, should also allow you to survive, if you have to drop your backpack and run. That's what you do if you're unlucky, and a bear chases you. The bear will stop and check out the pack. Hopefully...
There's lots of lists on the internet, but you can imagine the basics. You have to decide how long the "bug out" will last. 3 days to 2 weeks is practical. It's a whole new world if it goes beyond that.
<deleted list> dang it, you changed your post
I'll look the list over...
this should all go on individual backpacks
web belts should be separate and still allow survival
Combat loads are very similar. Except there's no radio.
I'm sure I'd think of more if I started looking around on the internet.
Never thought about the mini BOB until I just read about the concept. I currently have a backpack I am working on but have a foot locker with bigger, extended survival item should I have the time and capability of deploying it. Personally a bag designed for someone to last 72 hrs will last me a week at least. The big thing I am needing to get is MREs. Most everything else is taken care of. There is always room for improvement.
I know that list is kind of extensive but I just found it online as a reference for others new to the concept. Personal preferences will vary.

Anyone here put one together? I have one set up but am currently in the process of tweaking it and getting one set up for my wife and kid. Before someone posts up "fear" or "get your tin foil hat ready" this is a good idea not only for zombie attacks but for natural disasters. Tornadoes, flood, fire, etc are always a real threat. Having one of these quickly accessible will increase your chances of survival, getting to safety easier and less hectic.
Doing a quick google search will give you many pages of what to have. These are usually the main components. Mine consists of basically the same thing. A lot of it is military issue stuff. Does anyone have anything to add?
A Bug out bag is basically a big survival kit that contains all of the items you would require to survive after a disaster. A Bug Out Bag allows you to grab what you need quickly and evacuate should a disaster happen.Most experts suggest that your BOB should contain enough supplies to last for at least seventy two hours. Since most major disasters can disrupt services and normal life for longer than 72 hours, we think it is a good idea to have a Bag that will allow you survive for an indefinite period of time.
Make sure your Bag is built to fit your needs. Some people may need items that are not listed on this list. Remember that this is a guideline meant to help you get your bag together. When putting your bag together take into consideration any special needs or items that you or your family might need.
This will depend on a number of factors, such as the area you live in (climate, elevation, etc….) But the basics are as follows:A disaster plan
that includes the location of emergency areas, rallying points, multiple evacuation routes, maps of the area, trail maps, etc (make sure you use a water proof laminate to protect your plans).
First Aid Kit
Professional Survival Book
This should be studied before hand and kept for reference during a disaster. Recommended books are:

have some extra cash in your bag, as well as a copy of all your important documents (SS Card, I.D., Fishing hunting License, Gun License, etc…)

Toshiba FTW. I bought one while in Iraq in 2005. It has seen 140 degree heat, been through countless field rotations, full of dust and sand, dropped, thrown and just plain out abused. It lasted until a few months ago when the screen finally gave out. Check out Toshibadirect.com. They have some good refurbed units which is where I got my current laptop as well as new ones.
