    In an emergency, all you need for survival in most of the USA can be sourced or built from your surroundings. Your knowledge of the environment and your survival skills are the most crucial, which is why survival skills are taught in the military.

    However, certain items will make this process a lot easier. Namely, a shelter, a weapon, an axe, and a shovel. Shelter for obvious reasons, even though you can build your own shelter. The axe for chopping wood and building, the shovel for digging pits, tunnels, graves, fire holes, and so on.

    Water filtration can be accomplished with iodine or a special water filter, or you can make a natural water filter with charcoal from your fire. Water sterilization through boiling and distillation. Food from hunting, fishing, trapping, foraging, and building a wild garden from replanting native plants.

    Food, water, shelter, indefinitely.

    Bonus: Solar panel for electricity and cell data or satellite for internet.

      The weapon for hunting, fishing, and self defense.

      You can reserve a bow or melee weapon for hunting and fishing to save ammo, if you choose.

      And then you can conserve ammunition for defending yourself and enforcing rule of law in your area.

    What's the deal with Paul Harrel's scalp— does he request a JFMSU every visit to the barbershop?

      He has probably been wearing that same jacket since 1992, so my guess is he doesn’t pay a barber/stylist.

      This is the proper attitude. Bug out bag is not so essential, get-home bag is. There are very few situations imaginable where you have to leave your home on a few minutes notice (such as "The house is on fire"). Even in case of state of emergency, most people will be just fine hunkering down in their homes for several hours, most likely days, before general evacuation orders are given.

      If there is an unforseen disaster, your first course of action should be "Get back home, where you have most of your stuff". Whatever that disaster is, it is likely that it will occur when you are out of home, working somewhere within a commuting distance. So you should carry a small messenger-bag worth of stuff that will get you through a day or two so you can get yourself home, even if you have to travel on foot over several dozens of miles. From there you can organize better dislocation to more favourable bug-out location.

      Your get-home bag should be small and have only essentials for say 24 hours. a multitool, headlamp, water bottle (especially one of those which come with metal mug), some water purification pills, first aid kit, power pack for your cellphone, space blanket, thin rain poncho, two ways of making fire, duct tape, some cordage, hard copy of local map and a compass, gloves, some snacks (you don't need much, just to top off your blood sugar. You can do fine for a day without eating)... that sort of thing. All this will fit inside a casual messenger bag, you don't need to carry a big backpack or tacticool gear on you every day. Ladies can carry all this in their purses.

      Obviously, having a bug-out bag won't hurt, but the chances of you actually needing to grab it on a minute's notice are very slim. Most of time even in unforseen situations you will still have at least half an hour of time to prepare, if you need to move out quickly. For that you should maybe go for a big hiking backpack or maybe a duffel bag that can be carried on shoulder.

    [...]

    In some cases, you shoot at someone with the intention of just scaring them or repelling them, so you don't have to beat a case in the court system. Even if it is legal for you to shoot in self defense or a similar context.

    For example, a lot of farmers will load shotguns with salt or non-lethal rounds. It saves ammo but it also scares off thieves and carpetbaggers without a hospital trip and a court date.

      I see a whole lot of gear in these lists, but what kind of actual food would you have at the ready?

      Given that I live in Australia, my most likely SHTF situations would be an out of control bushfire, some kind of Carrington Event, or (god forbid) an Emu uprising, so whatever I pack would need to have at least a couple of days of rations that I could eat on the move or with minimal preparation/cooking.

        1 or 2 jars of peanut butter plus enough mountain house meals for a regular trip. A jar of skippy peanut butter is 5000 calories

        Anything shelf-stable that you like to eat. Peanut butter is usually a common item. Tortillas instead of bread. I'm American but I tried Vegemite a few years ago and loved it so I've always got that. Some MREs are good but they can be bulky and require cooking time

        >I see a whole lot of gear in these lists, but what kind of actual food would you have at the ready?
        >Mountain House meals
        >Dried nuts
        >Dried cranberries or other fruit
        >Gum and candy
        >Peanut butter
        >Biltong
        >Emergency ration bars
        >Electrolyte sachets
        Apart from the ration bars and electrolyte sachets these are all things I'd eat anyway so I don't need to worry about them expiring before they get rotated into the pantry.

        If I'm bugging out by vehicle and the house isn't literally on fire then I'll also have time to grab extra food from the pantry. I keep a lot of the shelf-stable foods stored in plastic tubs on the buttom shelf, if we need to bug-out it'll take us just seconds to throw those tubs into the back of the 4x4 and we'll have weeks worth of rice, oats, honey, sugar, protein powder, etc. Only a few seconds more to grab a loaf of bread and some fruit from a shelf above.
        Done the same with a couple of suitcases full of old clothes and blankets under the bed in one of the guest bedrooms.

        As far as food that can be eaten on the move or without starting a fire - ration bars or spoonfuls of peanut butter for calories; trail mix, fruit, jerky and candy for morale.

        If you lift then protein powder is an underrated prep. That shit lasts for years past the sell-by date and all it requires is a source of clean water to prepare.

    I usually have a bag with a change of clothes, a couple 500ml bottles of water, some basic hygiene stuff, and some cash in it. It's stored near the important documents in my house, which are in a zipped pouch I could stuff in the bag in a fire drill situation.
    I don't anticipate a disaster but you never know when there'll be a family emergency you'll need to attend.

    I have a get home bag. It comes with me on long driving trips and otherwise stays home, but always ready packages. It's just a random civilian pack of nonflashy design to decrease the chance of being stolen. It has enough equipment and food for up to 72 hours on foot under most conditions.

    I have one. It's pure LARP fantasy, especially because I'd have to abandon some vulnerable family members to use it, but it feels nice anyway. I keep it in addition to a more substantial crate I'd grab first in the case of a fire, chemical spill or whatever, but would most likely be a bug in kit for earthquakes.

    As others have said, my get home bag is more likely to be of use. The booboo-tier first aid kit actually has been. It's a pretty basic pack: a bit of cash, socks (comfy shoes live in my gym bag, also in the trunk), thermals, full Nalgene, a few bottles of water on top, small battery bank and cords, paracord, water treatment, fire starters, compass, maps, 24 hour ration bar (I'd never eat one for fun again, but they last forever and keep the engine going), emergency blanket and a poncho. Everything fits comfortably in a $20 pack a step above Jansport because I insist on hip straps.
