In addition to the basics like food, water, first aid and a fire kit, I always pack a weapon.
YEah I have been downsizing my backpack so it doesn't drag on the ground anymore.... was getting heavy... now its perfect...
This is me using my backpack to hold items my girl buys while shopping... AND I always have survival gear with me.
Carry it everywhere... not just in the woods. :P

I used to work at a Cabela's and I could tell by taking to a customer that was buying a GPS had no clue how to use it. Most GPS units when you get one defaults to Lat Long. Which having done 20+ years in the Army and even more years with SAR is the most useless format IMHO. UTM or MGRS is so much easier to use. LEARN how to use it! A good and fun way to get practice is by doing some geocaching in your local neighborhood.

Reading about some of the all the supplies one would need to go out, that pic of the backpack fills my thoughts up quite nicely.
I always carry extra supplies in my truck for outings , and in case of road emergencies in the Winter. I also have day packs and a 20 year supply of emergency food in the basement in case of disaster close to home, like Tornadoes, power outages, riots, etc. There are some great suggestions on this thread.
Mountain House MREās20 year supply?
I canāt wrap my head around that.
Ha ha, yes, I agree. Thereās no way one could eat that same stuff for 20 years. Iām not sure if thatās what the OP intended, Iād assumed that they meant a 20-year shelf life. I could be wrong.ffd
my comment was in reference to 20 years on the same diet
I'm sure they offer more than one flavor and consistency, but still....

Anyhow, Iād need a large warehouse to supply my family food for 20 years.
