A True Doomsday Prepper
It was actually another post that got me thinking about this. The "What would you do" thread, where the idea is you couldn't get to your car/truck, etc. to grab your BOB or GHB.
I keep a tiny bit of things on me, but it got me to thinking what I could have with me (I mean right with me) all the time. Obviously, I'm not bringing a pistol into my workplace, for example, so even though my GHB/BOB looks pretty innocent from appearances, not taking that chance....
So, I looked at my laptop bag. Here's some potential, but not a lot of room. I came up with:
BARE BONES BAG (Laptop bag)
WATER – Purification tabs, water bottle (metal) with carabiner, MiO , NOTE: This is just carried, not in bag, used as my normal water bottle at my desk. (would clip this to a belt loop in an emergency)
FOOD – (1) Bag of freeze dried food, dried fruit, multi-vitamins, (2) ration bars
DEFENSE – Folding knife (clips to belt), Combat knife (will go on belt), Swiss Army Knife (on keychain)
FIRST AID – Basic first aid kit (small, size off a soap dish)
SMALL FLASHLIGHT – LED one (4”), also a penlight (on keychain)
LIGHTER – Zippo, and a box of matches
MAP – Covering way home
SURVIVAL WHISTLE – Also has compass
EMERGENCY BLANKET - thermal kind, metallic (cheap)
EMERGENCY PONCHO - (cheap one, not a real thick one)
BASIC LOCKPICK SET
PARACORD BRACELET – Worn on wrist
AM/FM RADIO – Very small one
BINOCULARS – Small ones
