Let me first say that I have all of this "stuff" because I enjoy backcountry backpacking / camping... But.. all of my backpacking gear also doubles as great "SHTF" or "Bug-Out" gear. I don't do a lot of Backpacking in the Winter, so each Winter I organize and inventory my gear and pack into a pseudo "bug-out", or emergency Pack, to simply grab and go if need be.
I typed up an inventory of what is in my pack and a few things I am planning to add this week.
I thought posting the list here might be helpful to my THR friends. What would you add to your pack?
These are just what is in my pack ready to grab and go, it is NOT all that I would take (obviously I would take my firearms and ammo, and other essentials)... this is just the pack.
I added links to my specific gear in case anyone would like to take a closer look.
