- Distance from your Target Location.
- Your physical conditioning- Distance from where you think you wil be, when, TSHTF.
- "Your" Individual needs.
- The Time of year: cold, hot, damp? etc (affects what should be in your bag)
- Local laws governing defensive items (if that matters to you)
- How will you will travel: Drive, motor-bike, bicycle, hike, walk on paved surfaces, hills, terrain, etc, etc.
- Your Personal Medical issues/needs
