WHATS IN YOUR BAILOUT BAG??????

[Billy2]

Guys,

I would like the post to go where I was looking for it to go. Which would be getting some good input on what other guys stock their kit with. But all I have been dealing with is guys posting silly comments. So much for sticking to the topic I started this as: WHATS IN YOUR BAILOUT BAG??????

Post may have been better off in the survival section.

I don't have a bug out bag

 

[ARV]

MichaelJR might have some competition...

I was referring to MichaelJR's remarks above, not declaring it myself. I re-read it and realize I was a little vague.

also, my apologies to henchmen77, I have also enjoyed reading the legit answers here and in other threads about this topic. After I have some play $ handy Id like to put together a bag of some sort as well.

I think the Bug Out Bag name itself has a stigmata to it. It's why I call my bag my get home bag. I keep it stocked with things to get me home to my loved ones in case I find myself stranded somewhere. A good source of information is equip2endure on youtube. Adam does a great job on reviews and has given me lots to think about. I also like the edcforums.com, those guys are great and and share alot of wisdom.

countycomm.com has some great deals if you haven't been by their site.

If anyone need a good first aid kit for the BOB check out Stop and Shop, they have a great 299 piece kit for $20.

 

[Gonzo]

Gonzo,

What would you call if it the system fails and people have fallen to their lowest levels and would do anything to live? Don't know about you but I would call that combat survival. Just looking to build a kit that can handle most anything, that my mean setting up different bags for different events my be something to look at?

You're gonna need a dedicated 4x4 vehicle with locked differentials and a winch to carry all that for any reasonable distance.

And a team of guys to help you out.

 

[Bill Katt]

Then you'll have to peruse the 4x4 sites to find out what you should have to keep that vehicle going in the off road situations...(basically spare everything and the tools to replace/repair them).

Is it a legit FAK or are half of those items bandaids and cotton swabs?

 

[Gonzo]

Yup. We all know how that goes.

 

[X JBM X]

Well being a Grunt in the Corp ochmude I can tell you first hand that the saying is true. Locate, close with and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver, and to repel the enemy's assault by fire and close-combat is that statement also not true ochmude?

What are you bugging out of? It sounds like you're not buggin' out, but rather starting an underground rebel movement.

I don't have a bug out bag

I'm with this guy. I have a survival kit I keep in my car, with a space blanket, some water purifying tablets, freeze dried food, and a couple other essentials.

 

[ochmude]

It has nothing to do with rebellion. In USMC bootcamp, one of the things you memorize is the Purpose of Marine Corps Infantry.

"Sir, the purpose of Marine Corps Infantry is to locate, close with, and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver, and to repel the enemy's assault by fire and close combat, Sir!"

That's what Henchmen77 was referring to.

I got that part. But that's the purpose of the Marine Corps. NOT the purpose of a bugout bag / survival kit.

 

[ochmude]

I see what you're saying. No, I agree completely. It helps to define specifically what each person means when they say "bugout bag".

[Grimlock]

No. I once got stuck at work in a blizzard and the vending machine was my only accesable food.

[MassMark]

I'm sitting here up to my fenders in snow - 1/2 mile from the road, waiting fir my buddy to arrive with his snow cat to pull me the rest of the way in, eating a pork sausage MRE, (the-best), sipping on blackberry brandy, surfing the web and listening to Howard Stern. My first thought is: "Technology is truly amazing". My second thought is: "A hot Russian stripper would be just the ticket right now". My third thought is: "This MRE is really good." My fourth thought is: "This thread is chock full of win." Carry on gents.....

 

[MichaelJR]

MichaelJR might have some competition...

Competition? This is blasphemy....
