bug out bag
A survival kit is a package of basic tools and supplies prepared as an aid to survival in an emergency. Civil and military aircraft, lifeboats, and spacecraft are equipped with survival kits.
Survival kits, in a variety of sizes, contain supplies and tools to provide a survivor with basic shelter against the elements, help them to keep warm, meet basic health and first aid needs, provide food and water, signal to rescuers, and assist in finding the way back to help. Supplies in a survival kit normally include a knife (often a Swiss army knife or a multi-tool), matches, tinder, first aid kit, bandana, fish hooks, sewing kit, and a flashlight.
Civilians such as forestry workers, surveyors, or bush pilots, who work in remote locations or in regions with extreme climate conditions, may also be equipped with survival kits. Disaster supplies are also kept on hand by those who live in areas prone to earthquakes or other natural disasters. For the average citizen to practice disaster preparedness, some towns will have survival stores to keep survival supplies in stock.
The American Red Cross recommends an emergency preparedness kit that is easy to carry and use in the event of an emergency or disaster.

Decided to see what I could pack into this 1980s, 1990s era backpack made by a seamstress named Judy; which is a heavy Cordura Nylon copy of a WW2 10th Mountain Rucksack. It is about the same size as the standby of Large ALICE pack, but quite a bit heavier, and far more sturdy due to the...
So we may be visiting with new fun, funky friends from Yreka, which would necessitate trips to said locale in occupied territory. I know our CHLs means nothing there — totally legal on this side, felony on that side; ah, land of the free. Be that as it may, my question is we normally have a...

Please list items you carry, including the bag itself, and a short reason why. I'm re-evaluating my kit and figured I could get some great input from the guys on the forum.
Thanks
