This.Build your own is my advice.
There are hundreds of videos on youtube showing different peoples setups. Whatever you end up building out I would recommend walking around with it to make sure it's something you can realistically carry.
I've spent enough time in the woods back country camping etc to know what to pack to survive 72 hours. I don't need a ready made kit......I could pack a bag for 72 hours from what I have already in my home. My point.....72 hours is not a long time.....if you need a ready made kit to survive 72 hours in the woods you are doing it wrong.already have a nice 511 covert 18 backpack which i am using to build a BOB. notice there are many ready made kits which contain enough items for 72 hr survival. many of them look cheap; does anyone know of the best ones
For 72 hours as the op suggests..... yeah you don't need much.You really don’t need much. A couple MREs, warmth, matches, water filtration.
I feel so sad for you
I don't need much...but I want a couple law 4s because I like the boy scout motto... there's a whole lot of gray area between the 2 lolYou really don’t need much. A couple MREs, warmth, matches, water filtration.
Oh I agree with you. Just pointing out that for a 72 hour pack, you mainly need water and something warm to sleep in. Most other stuff is a luxury. Most people can easily survive 3 days without food, but you will be hungry. Fires are dangerous because of light and smell.I don't need much...but I want a couple law 4s because I like the boy scout motto... there's a whole lot of gray area between the 2 lol
That right there is Dean Ing-levels of preparedness. If I recall correctly,I used to drive trucks to Elizabeth NJ from Franklin Ma and back. 226 miles at the furthest point (depending on the route). In addition to the stuff already mentioned, I kept a little foldable Razor scooter on hand. The theory is, if moves me 3 steps for every kick, it turns a 226 mile journey into a 75 mile journey.
Need more information. What is your general idea you are planning for? Snow storm, power outage, local riots?already have a nice 511 covert 18 backpack which i am using to build a BOB. notice there are many ready made kits which contain enough items for 72 hr survival. many of them look cheap; does anyone know of the best ones

I'm not bugging out from home. I have everything here. I did put together a 'Get Home Bag' for myself to keep in my car and one for my wife to keep in her office in Boston. They were each different because of conditions. Mine being on the road. And my wife's was getting home from the 22nd floor of a building in Boston and likely finding no public transportation available.
