I really do feel like things are getting to the point of no return. At this point, in my opinion, it’s only a matter of time until shit breaks down and self sufficiency will be key.
I have been acquiring the requisite supplies and getting into good physical health. Do you fellow anons have your own supplies? If so, take a picture and send.
I believe I have most everything I need, safe a couple odds and ends. I do have a trauma kit and first aid kit on the way and should be here within the next couple days. The only thing I’m missing that I haven’t already ordered is a HAM radio and a rifle. Any recommendations?
And yes, all of that does fit into my backpack (75L) and on my person. All n’ all, it weighs about 45lbs before i put in the MRE’s, which weighs an additional 10lbs. Add in a couple pounds for water and ammo, At 60lbs it’s still only about 30% of my body weight, and I have been trekking in the desert to get used to the weight. So far so good. What are /misc/‘s thoughts on SHTF prepping, and is there anything odd that most people don’t think about getting when getting their preps in order?
*No AR
Rookie
I got my pistol first, and then all of the supplies. My thinking is, what good is an AR if you don’t have food shelter and water sorted out? Now I’m looking into getting an AR. Thinking a PSA Sabre AR15. And yes, I am a bit of a rookie when it comes to owning firearms, but I used to bow hunt and trap quite a bit and go solo camping so on that front I should be okay. Any recs when it comes to affordable AR’s?
You have too much shit.
Find your biome.
Watch airforce survival guide for that specific region.
Learn it front and back.
Lose 90% of that excess shit.
At the moment you're just back yard camping. Do you anticipate driving around all of that shit? You got a wheelbarrow or something? You going to be calling in airsupport and taking on the nogs like Rambo?
Learn what the basic requirements are for life. Obtain those. A pistol and rifle are cool, but learning to trap and clean wildlife will serve you better. Less noise less confrontation.
I dunno anon, you may be right, but I think it’s more or less the correct amount to be self sufficient for a longer period of time. I have learned the biome, which is the desert, which why I bought very lightweight breathable clothing to protect my skin from the sun whilst not causing me to overheat. I mean I know it looks like a lot, but once I sort it out and put it into organized dry bags and throw it all into the backpack it really does compact quite well. I have food shelter water and fire sorted out, tools for hunting bushcraft, maps and literature for first aid and survival (hard to memorize it all), and a way to defend myself. You are right though, I do need to work on my primitive bushcraft abilities, and as I do that maybe I can loose some of the “backyard camping” supplies that I have. But I don’t think a 1 man tent, tarp, and bivy bag is too much. Not like I’m bringing a propane camp stove with me.
I take it you're in the south west. It's pretty rural. I've been up and down i-10 from San Antonio to California. Probably the least desirable biome to be stranded in. I personally would rather test my luck by staying put in the city than run for the desert. Depending on the time of year the south west can severely dehydrate you in hours and getting to ground water is close to impossible. The water table is just too deep.
At least in the city you can wait for the army to relocate you and provide necessities. If you're in El Paso there is plenty of military there. If you already had land and working water pumps I would be more willing to say "yeah man get a bunch of equipment and fortify" even in the desert. But trying to live off the desert? Nah.... lolololol
Fair enough, anon. I appreciate your assessment, and you figure my geographic region correctly. I figure the central Texas hill country wouldn’t be as bad as further south where there’s almost no foliage or freshwater sources. You may be right about the military, but also, I wouldn’t trust the govt in a SHTF situation.
>Find your biome.
do you have a list of biomes to pick from.
i would need island and rainforest but curious what there is to pick from here.
Play minecraft lolololol!
But really though.
There are several different regions in Texas and they all have unique characteristics, and lot of similarities.
I use the word biome as a general descriptor.
The airforce has made a lot of media in concern of crashing in different areas of the world and what to do when you need a few days to wait for rescue.
Forgot to add picture
.
Dang that biome map is kinda sick, ty.
i get it, i was curious what manuals they have for specific regions. im aware of the more general ones and have seen military guides for artic, desert, islands, mountains, ocean and rainforest. but i was curious if things for more specific than that.
but yeah, besides being stranded in the ocean, desert is a real predicament.
>The airforce has made a lot of media in concern of crashing in different areas of the world and what to do when you need a few days to wait for rescue.
Yes, but in this situation, no one is coming to rescue you.
If you can survive for 2 weeks you can survive for 2 years.
It's the initial setup that requires knowledge. The rest is simply upkeep.
That's true, but you didn't say a few weeks, you said a few days while you wait for rescue. There is a huge difference. I can sit and conserve energy for a few days if I'm just waiting for a rescue. I know it might vary by biome, but it's basically the same. A few weeks changes everything.

Lol, they were totally unprepared, know nothing homosexuals. They deserved their fate.
they are about as prepared as op, they had some water bottles, some basic tools and survival books too. they probably didn't have the official army survival manual though
>official army survival manual though
I have that one in pdf
I dunno if you saw, but I’m rocking a bit more than some plastic water bottles and basic tools.
OP is getting his ducks in row and seeking info - he's not actually setting it to do, but I get what you're saying.
This thread and image is a cookie cutter regular post. OP is likely not real human bean.
This thread is just for farming info so tell him bullshit, I'm suprised you didn't get that by now. I mean isn't that the whole point of /misc/ ever since it was taken over by trannies and controlled opposition? Just make shit up, give whatever "advice" you want. Larp like it's the end of the world over and over every few years. We've been doing it over a decade at this point on imageboards alone.

>if you can for survive 2 weeks, you can survive for 2 years.
You are an absolutely moronic individual.
This is the dumbest thing that I have ever read on /misc/. The 2 scenarios are barely related in scope or complexity. You can easily prep for 2 weeks with a trip to the supermarket, a 2 year situation needs lots more prepping, planning and skills. Please consider suicide.
I am the moron but you're assuming that I'm hauling a pickup truck loaded with perishables.
Just use your brain for a second and think of the context.
He's right anon. If you can be dropped off somewhere with nothing but a knife and survive for 2 weeks you can survive indefinitely.
I gotchu senpai.
PSA freedom is cheap and fine. Can do upgrades later. If you have some dough get a BCM for shtf purposes but realistically its for sustained military ops not self defense.
it's called a ruger 10/22
will kill everything from rabbits to deer to humans if need be. you can carry tons of rounds at a time too.
gay-r15s are a stupid platform. the mechanism itself is crap requiring tons of cleaning, easily broken if you fall on it, overpriced, and the rounds themselves are super weak. they were designed not for lethality, but for making the enemy keep their heads down until artillery or airstrikes come in. unless you have a militia with air and artillery support that is very very very well supplied it's almost always a bad choice. plus it make you look like a combatant to anyone that you come across. think about it - if you saw yourself in the woods, would you shoot first out of fear?
in afghanistan it was routine that us forces would get pinned down and then have to run away constantly because they were outgunned. they had bolt action .303s and .308 rifles etc, long guns that do some damage on impact. they have hundreds of yards more range than ARs, and the americans couldn't shoot back or call in artillery on populated locations.
the handgun is great for self defence. just think about what you will be using the rifle for? if it's hunting a .22 is a no brainer. plan on staying out of combat unless you know what you are doing with several other people that know what they are doing. highly trained guerrillas do not get into firefights if they can avoid them.
back to hunting, the .22 can be shot with much less noise and recoil, thus not drawing as much attention and scaring away less game. if you shoot a rabbit with something bigger it will just be a stain on the ground. you seem to have experience in this area so play to your strengths and avoid combat at all costs.
here's a pdf on how shitty the ar15 really is, put out by the us army
https://www.forte.jor.br/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Increasing-Small-Arms-Lethality-in-Afghanistan-Taking-Back-the-Infantry-Half-Kilometer.pdf
Alright anon! I will take it under advisement.
>if you saw yourself in the woods, would you shoot first out of fear?
Yes. There is no one I fear more than myself.
Good advice.
Don't listen to this lapping idiot. "Damage"?
>gimme a clip...
22lr is a great round for shtf because you can carry a lot of it, and animals are generally stupid enough to come within 100 yards, which is as far as you want to try to hit things with a .22. For that same reason 5.56 is a great round because it's less than half the weight of .308, but has enough energy to carry it out past 500 yards. If you're going to live innawoods or anywhere other than urban/suburban setting then distance is your only real defense against the human element. Accuracy isn't a linear relationship to distance, it drops off significantly after about 150-200 yards, especially when under stress. 5.56 is enough to keep people at a long arms length and maybe make them think about whether or not it's even worth it to try to close that distance.
Also, ditch the trauma kit. If you take an injury that requires tourniquet or chest seals in a world without hospitals or medicine, especially if you're alone, you're fricked anyways.
You should get yourself a nice lightweight 22lr rifle and at least 1000rnds. And also a lightweight AR platform with irons and an optic to let you reach out to 600 yards. Carry as little as you need to for that. Maybe 5 mags. Should be enough to break contact from a small force, or ambush them and take their guns.
>If you're going to live innawoods or anywhere other than urban/suburban setting then distance is your only real defense against the human element.
I mean, you're not going to be shooting 500 yrds or even 100 in a dense forest anon. You're better off hiding in a tree with a knife or setting traps and avoiding clearings.
the pic i posted showed that the round is not lethal beyond 200 yards, and must go through about 5 inches of tissue before muh tublins happen
shooting at people 500 yards away is murder in most cases
staying out of combat is best. 99% of the time the weapon will be used for food gathering.
.22lr is unironically more dangerous than .223 at long range
.22 can even enter the body, then hit a bone like in your arm, then travel along the bone and into the chest, then into the heart. it didn't have enough energy to break the bone mind you.
>5.56 are super weak
>shills for .22 lr
lol
yes
do you even american 180?
>what good is an AR if you don’t have food shelter and water sorted out?
the absolute state of americans. just use your AR to steal food and water idiot. the AR is by far the most crucial tool of your kit, if you had to choose to start with one tool and one tool only what would it be, your water bottle?? kek.

Looks like Ben Garrison's hat
Also most preppers have kids that turn out like Adam Lanza
I don’t have any kids, but if I ever do I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.
It’s actually quite a nice hat, it’s waterproof, protects me from the sun, and comfortable. Being in the desert, having one of these hats is required unless you want the sun to scorch your ears off your noggin’.
I get a lot of compliments on it too.
Now, if you wear this hat in NYC, you are definitely gay. No argument there.
You don't get compliments on it, dont lie.
I most certainly do. If you live in a place where it also might be useful and you wouldn’t look like a hipster I would recommend you get one and wear it.
>protects me from the sun
THE MICRONOVA IS COMING
Yeah anon, severe sunburn kills, especially on your ears. If you don’t have a hat that can protect your ears you will be hurtin’.
you need an Underground location to survive the upcoming Micronova event in 2046, a hat isnt enough.
Based micronova poster. This is my only current pitfall - go down far enough for underground bunker, I'll hit pure granite and limestone. There's caverns all over my area, and accessing those without hitting my underground aquifer is impossible. I am going to die above ground, right?
you still got time to find suitable locations, its not game over yet so dont give up bro.

Indiana Jones hat ftw.
Thanks fren, at my old job they actually used to call me Indiana whenever I’d wear the hat kek.
Looks like a good hat tho.
Nah goose fricker bro
That's a rural fedora
Op are you a blue bear by any chance?
You plan on bugging out. I plan on bugging in.
So I have a lot of food.
Fair enough, I unfortunately don’t live in the best place to bug in, otherwise I’d be right there with ya stacking up food.
Thanks, fren!
Do you have a destination in mind for bugging out to? Or are you winging it?
I’d head out west Texas way, I have a few spots picked out that I would go to initially, and then as the situation changes I would consult my book containing topographic maps for the entirety of Texas and figure it out from there.
Good. My only advice would be to roughly plan out a route to get there. You don't want to use highways even if you have a car and you also want to get there earlier rather than later. If possible, stock them with non-perishables ahead of time.
Since you're planning on trekking through the desert, you should bring more water. Maybe a life straw or filter.
60lb is a lot of weight to be hiking through the desert. If I were you, I'd reconsider the large knife since you already have a knife, a multi-tool, and a hatchet. Also, the drivers on the multitool are the same size as your screwdrivers. A HAM radio would be more weight, but information that would be useful in any situation. Lastly, I don't see any fire starting equipment, but maybe it's just in one of the bags.
Yeah, I’ve been doing so, luckily my maps contain backroads that aren’t even on google maps so I’ve been sorting out the way using those, but you’re right, I do need to plan it out in its entirety. I also will take your advice on stocking some areas with some further supplies in advance, very good idea. I do have a life straw there, as well as water purification tablets. Also I have a fire steel, multiple lighters, a zippo lighter, and matches. Thanks for being so thorough anon! Greatly appreciated.
Nice. Good luck.
Ditch the zipper for a titan light. Zippos leak fuel, and need constant refueling. Titan light is water proof and also has a rubber seal inside that prevents the fuel escaping.
get a fresnel lens
Never heard of it, will check it out!
Zippos are also useless if you need to use them in an inverted position. You'd be better off with a BIC in most cases.
>I’d head out west Texas way
Hello fellow Texan. West Texas is going to be problematic due to water scarcity. Not many running rivers, lakes basically nonexistent except for San Angelo, Robert Lee, etc. Wells are drying up.
You may want to rethink destination.
t. Hill Country gay
This anon fricks.
Better bet would be east Texas if you're dead set on surviving in Texas. Anywhere along the gulf will at least provide you with rain on a regular basis. Personally, I would venture into Louisiana. Lots of trees and water in Louisiana. Look at the US map. If you see green with splashes of blue you're going to have a better experience..
True.
>east Texas
Black folk. They will turn even more feral. There are enclaves of whites, and if headed there you best make friends.
Problem with any city or suburb gay thinking they'd just head out and find a rural location - property is owned by others and if you think they will welcome a stranger onto their property, think again. Any desirable location is already set up with solar powered motion detection and you'll be quickly found. If luck holds out, you'll simply be escorted off property. In a shtf situation, you'll most likely be shot.
Option #2 is what I'll be doing if you end up on my property, nothing personal.
You don't own the national forrest fren.
Sorry, I responded to wrong person - this was for OP.
Thanks man, maybe I’ll see you in Louisiana. I just figured east texas is more populated and therefore a worse choice than going west. But as another anon pointed out, water would be far more difficult to come by in BFE.
No, I won't be in Louisiana. I am completely set up and self sufficient in the very rural Hill Country.
May I suggest you binge watch the survival series Alone? Very informative and will help with ideas and you'll learn pitfalls you probably didn't anticipate.
I do wish you the very best.
Dang son, I’m green with envy. I hope the happening doesn’t happen before I myself can buy land. At the rate things are going downhill in the world though I find that more unlikely every day. I’ll wear a kekistan flag on my right arm in the suck so that way if I do come across you in hill country you’ll know not to shoot me as I’m the based Texas anon. I wish you all the best too man.
>I’ll wear a kekistan flag on my right arm in the suck so that way if I do come across you in hill country you’ll know not to shoot me as I’m the based Texas anon. I wish you all the best too man.
Properly identified, you'll be welcome.
I've posted this so many times, this is the first time for you. 4 years ago I was you. I realized I was fricked chasing the town/city dream. I looked in very small rural areas for property. I purchased a old ranch house, with small acreage for 42K because it was a former meth house most recently. Immediately sank 10K into remediation of meth chemical and general trashing of place. Today, my property is complete paid off. The only thing you cannot change about a property is it's location. I have a highly defensible perimeter and everything I need.
That’s sick dude! Thanks for sharing your come up! Will start looking for meth houses stat!
Yeah, even if you don't score an actual house, look for shitty old mobile homes to exist in while you build pic rel.
Again, I highly recommend the series Alone.
you shouldnt build pic related, you should be digging underground.
you also need to be careful with your location.
rockslides, trees and avalanches from heavy earthquakes can be very dangerous.
you also need some sort of boat, just in case.
Understood, I've already outlined my problem with underground bunker. I have map of cavern systems around here, many inaccessible.
you gotta walk around and check them all out even the hard to access ones.
you also dont want to be too deep in because if shit goes down you could end up getting trapped in there.
So you gotta know your cave, if there is a second entrance, how to escape fast etc.
some prep work for the cave will also be required. its also often difficult to judge how stable a cave is.
Will do. Yeah I watch alone from time to time, it is good, I should watch more of it. Grew up watching bear grylls and trying out some of his techniques in the woods, well into my teenage years.
>Will start looking for meth houses stat!
There's but going to be listed on Zillow etc. You have to research the area you want to be and then take a weekend trip. Drive along County and Rural Roads looking for distressed or abandoned properties. Make list and take pictures for reference for when you get home. Then contact tax office for the country where property is, contact owner. Keep doing this, you'll definitely find something.
If you have the right friends, you can ask if you can put up a garden shed with survival gear with the understanding you will be showing up when shtf. You have to depend that they won't help themselves to your shit. Make sure you store food for them.
I have my place, and yes, if someone were to go the route you outlined, it would have to be a high trust friendship. I can't store shit for others, I'm using my space selfishly for myself and mine.
mashallah
God is looking out for you anon
get a dirt bike with a trailer
enough gas to get you to idaho with fuel stabilizer
Top priority would to be getting out of a city if you're in one. Cities are death traps on many layers. Even if you somehow did manage to strap down and pull through for a month or so you'll soon find yourself a prime target for those who were no prepared. Man is both your best ally and worst enemy.
in an event of a massive food shortage yes, cities will become chaotic. Most people won't be prepared and the ones that can manage to flee will poor into the surrounding rural areas.
You need to be remote, very remote. If you live in the states I think Alaska is your best bet.
>If you live in the states I think Alaska is your best bet.
Alaskan winters will be brutal for most people from the continental US, save for some from the northern states who are used to it. If you dont have shelter 100% secured, rural idaho, montana, or washington are better bets in my opinion.
my place sucks. I wanna bug-in a children's museum. You guys can shoot each over beans. I'm gonna be making wind tornadoes and riding Dino statues
extremely based. can I join you when shit hits the fan?
i could use a partner for those quarter-rolling whirlwind machines. we could beyblade some pocket change for a few hours
Wow. This post just gave me serious nostalgia. Anyone remember those dome shaped "observatory" buildings where you could explore all of space and ride the roller-coaster at the end?
>I plan on bugging in.
>So I have a lot of food.
I hope that pic isn't it, because half of that is tea and books and the other half is stuff that is like 60% air.
You could probably stretch that stuff to a week at most while running a significant calorie deficit.
"how to live with a huge penis" is a fundamental survival text. saved me from recurrent lower back strains.
That's a nice book. My wife loves it and can't keep her hands off it.
Is that fricking Christmas pasta?!
>You plan on bugging out. I plan on bugging in.
>So I have a lot of food.
Yes, you will be a prime target and I'll thank you for your contribution.
This is going to be the best option initially. I've started stocking food as well. I have no idea what hell the israelites are going to unleash with the Presidential election incoming. Freezers and fridge stocked, but planning for the inevitable loss of utilities to cook.
i've thought some time about it and came to the conclusion that it's pointless
as i'm in a big central european city, there's really no place for me to go. even worse, when SHTF quickly, i'll have a hard time even getting out of here
i couldn't carry many days amount of water, no place to safely sleep, etc.
so plan is to stay in place and just dominate everyone around here and get supplies that way
Fair enough anon, I wish you luck. How would you plan to dominate your fellow man? Do you have any weapons? Or would you dominate them with your big dick chad energy?
yes 🙂
frame of mind also plays a big part. you've got to realize what are social constructs and how a wilder animal would behave
Very true. I have talked with others that I know, and when mentioning the fact that I’ve hunted, skinned and cooked wild squirrels they get perturbed and say “ew, that’s nasty” or “aw, don’t you feel bad killing them?” And I’m like, “motherfricker, you eat chicken and burgers all the frickin time, do you feel bad for that?”
People don’t want to do the so called “dirty work”. While we, you and me, have no issues. Like a wild animal, you hunt, or will be hunted.

I think living in the woods is a bad idea. A farm like setup is best. Also get yourself an ar15 and lots of ammo. If you dont have that in america you are at a disadvantage. Also make friends.
100% agreed. While it’s not optimal, bugging out into the wilderness solo is my best current option. My uncle who’s also a bit of a prepper owns a farm style plot of land up in Idaho, so if things were bad long term, I would try to make my way up to him.

5 days later some passerby finds a corpse, clinging to his duffelbag of weapons and nothing else. Likely dead of severe dysentery.
I have water purification tablets, as well as a water filtration system. Also I have the ability to boil water.
you should add an contact cleaning solution bottle full of regular unscented bleach. ten drops sterilizes a gallon in a pinch. it also has several other uses
Good shit! Ty!
order some lugol's solution of iodine from j crow. it purifies water too but isn't bad for you like bleach. can also be used as a topical disinfectant.

>no 22lr rifle

>t. beaver hunter in south Patagonia
Like I said earlier, I got the basics first before any kind of rifle. That’s what I’m looking into first. Also I have spent much time outside, and I used to bow hunt, but all of these supplies are more suited to long term survival for potentially weeks, which I have not done solo before. That’s pretty sick you live in Patagonia though, ngl.
>Also I have spent much time outside
then you actually know about the basics (not carrying too much stuff, secure water source, appropiate clothes for your climate).
about firearms i can tell you about not carrying too much ammo for your sideweapon, we don't have big animals like bears here so i just carry a small .380acp pistol and one box of ammo for it, wouldnt carry a centerfire rifle bc no big animals plus avoiding confrontation with humans is always better, unless you are forced to it and set up an ambush.

Pleb. Those water pills don't clear out a lot of toxic bacteria. Watched people get sick as shit using those while trekking thinking it actually cleans bacteria ridden water.
It’s right on top of the water purification tablets, bucko.
do life straws actually work and if so who should I buy them from? you have me very curious now
There are YouTube videos with independent studies showing that they do reduce particulates in water.
You're going to want to boil the water first before actually using the lifestyle.
I would recommend getting coffee filters and filtering the water with a coffee filter, then boil, the life straw.
But, yes, they do work to a degree.
Dyor.
they filter out all bacteria but are only .1 microns. hep a and typhoid get through them and are your main concern with water
2 minute lifestraw under microscope video
Getting shelter from the elements is priority number 1.
Priority number 2 is finding a water source. Priority number 3 is finding food. Everything past priority 3 is luxury.
Knowing what plants are edible, different sources of water, trapping wildlife, is all that is needed after sufficient shelter is in place, something to keep you dry and cool or warm.
Idk what to say about the campers.
It's not hard to stack water.
Stacking water at home or in the woods?
Water weighs roughly 8lbs per gallon. You'll go through probably 1/2 gallon a day or more if it's summer time.
Not sure what you're talking about.

Also need med kit with blood clotter and skin staple
On the way! Quick clot to the rescue!
i got those
will i make it, bros?
I’m coming for you first hans
Looks like 48 days worth of food.
I guess you could stretch it out a couple extra days but you'll be weaker than dogshit by the end of it.
also, eating just ravioli (and some spaghetti) is not the best idea
What's in the pocketoli?
only one case of spaghetti, not a balanced diet.
You'll be hunted down by glowies or Black person raiders. Your fantasy is moronic and impractical.
>Black person raiders
The raider meme is the saddest troony cope in the SHTF discussion.
You're going out as a hunter gather but you need to go out as a builder creator. A saw, an axe, hammer, hand drill, seeds. etc
Op, this guy is correct. If/When society breaks down, humans will always barter until it breaks down further. The man that knows how to use tools and create, build, repair--and pass those skills on, can prevent the barter system from breaking down even further. A tradesman will be king in that system.
Because once you fall below bartering, you go to barbarism. And the only thing that matters at that point is if you can kill your fellow man before they kill you.
Fair enough. Duly noted.
As far as the contents of your bag, I see a lot of useful items. It looks good for a solo self-sufficient man to barely survive in the wilderness.
I think society will break down in several stages though. I don't know these exact stages. Your contents are for one of the latest stages.
It would be wise to stick with like-minded people as community for the earlier stages. You need a fertile plot of land and be able to hold it. As a community, you will need to be very well armed with rifles to fend off hordes of Black folk. Killing them will likely provide mainly clothes, useless electronics, israeliteelries and junk food as the spoils. Because that's what Black folk see as valuable, even in a survival scenario.
Eventually, you will be defending from other communities like yours, it will likely become tribe like. Bartering may be useful here, but I wouldn't fully trust anyone outside of your community except for an economic relationship. I wouldn't let them get too close and gain intel.
Then you always have to worry about the government. This might be the greatest single threat aside from nature itself. The higher ups, will be living in underground bases with their families, already retrofitted and self-sufficient for a societal break-down. The ones that didn't have clearance to bring their families down to safety, will likely be in communities like yours protecting their families. I'd see these ones as probably your greatest allies, as they will be well armed, trained, and bitter at the government for not accepting their families. But they might not be so trusting
of you.
Very interesting. I enjoy your insight anon.
>HAM radio
Maybe a cheap Baofeng. Also look into LoRa radio, meshtastic is getting popular amongst the paranoids
Have you considered fishing gear? Hunting is fine but fishing is always a good backup. Just trapping in general, leave lines and nets and check daily, it's a passive food source.
Solar panels are lightweight and cheap now.
Will look into both, thanks fren!
Yes I’m planning on getting some fishing line and some lures, something I can easily attach to a stick and make a makeshift fishing rod out of, haven’t gotten to it though!
A tactical snuggy will save your life one day
>gear in pristine condition
this Black person has never been out his mother's basement
I haven’t used much of this equipment yet, you are right. Most of it is brand spanking new. I bought this new equipment for the sole purpose of building out this bugout bag. Just because I haven’t used *this equipment* doesn’t mean I don’t have older more cumbersome equipment that I have used. Why carry around a big saw for a BOB? Why would I use my larger tent or sleeping bag? Black person.
i was talking about the guy in the picture, gun looks cleaner than a brand new one
Oh shit, my bad. Sincerest apologies s Didn’t see that, yeah Snuggie guy definitely still lives in moms basement, good call, chad.
yes, he's dumb because he's not MAKING IT ON HIS OWN TM.
he should be up to his eyeballs in debt with 6 roommates with addictions
>not having at least one rifle without much wear and tear on it
Trying to flex with a beat to shit rifle with less than half a barrel life left is like thinking you're more prepared by wearing plates that have already been shot.
>wear = broken to shit
in most survival scenarios your weapons wont stay pristine and you gotta know how to deal with it. Kid in the picture will panic the moment his gun jamms. Seen that many times, tards who go beaver hunting with their brand new PERFORMANCE™ rifles/match ammo, then they fall into a pond or starts snowing like is the end of the world
>beaver hunting
That's nice, I hunt elk and used to hunt people. Now you're saying that cosmetic damage is somehow an indication of proficiency, which is just cargo culting. If your weapon has scratches, without any wear on the internals then you're not really training with it.
hes a fed.
U got fatter :c
Looks like all of your knives and tools are chinese junk from wal-mart... ngmi
You can't fight AI and drones. Join a social justice group, become a leader, and sabotage it from within.
Black person
camouflage still works, and ir can be fooled just by popping a blanket over you, you don't even need a foil emergency blanket. the taliban won, you know.
They won, but they lost a lot of lives doing it. Most of us don't feel like ending up as a zog statistic.
you guys are sure to be killed in the first days of civil war LMAO ,
RAVIOLI

you guys are fricking pathetic
b-but i even got those, bro
72 days of water.
If you don't shower.
but i used to shower 2 times a day
how are the smells
probably boar-like
should i get a range of those as well?
Never ever store water in plastic.
Enjoy your microplastics and xenoestrogens.
you say it like its a bad thing, bro
Please post a pic of your mighty yellow vest, Frenchie... or a white flag. Either will suffice.
Very nice, will be building one of these
Climate Change will cause social collapse within 20 years maybe even before 2030.
You need to learn high intensity gardening and preserving food. Also consider a rabbit farm for meat.
Hunting may become unreliable in a social collapse so you need ways of producing your own food.
Your best bet is somewhere in Alaska.
Rabbit farm eh? I’ll have to check that out. Had chickens growing up, is the premise similar? Make a small enclosure and they’ll reproduce in short spans of time so you can harvest them? Is there a bigger problem with predators going after them when compared to chickens? Or is it pretty comparable?
you don't need much and they don't need heat for winter just something to keep them sheltered. You can start with 3 for breeding. They reproduce as fast as.. well rabbits lol and don't require a sophisticated diet. Good source of protein and their droppings can be used as fertilizer, if you can take care of chickens rabbits will be fine.
Good shit anon, thanks, I’ll definitely look into it further!
>You can start with 3 for breeding
What about genetic diversity? will the offspring be breeding with each other?
it can become an issue after several generations, people will typically capture a wild rabbit every so often and add it into the gene pool.
I don't even know if thats an issue for rabbits.
There was a guy who released 24 rabbits in Australia for hunting purposes, and their numbers are like 10 million today.
rabbit and chickens are pretty much simillar also remember to procure vegetables, some are dumb-tier easy to mantain
>take a picture and send
No.
self sufficiency wont save you
Op isnt geared to be self sufficient anyway
Are you planning on mommy helping you out?
Tyvek suits, plastic rolls, adhesive zipper doors, duck or tuck tape
, And a few half masks with p100 filters is always a good addition to a bug in kit.
Yeah, survival “preppers” will all be in the woods shooting each other.
Better off staying at home no matter what.
Escape from Tarkov irl
100 scavs in 100 acres
If wider society collapses it’ll be families and close-knit communities who survive, being an edgelord only works in fiction. If you want to live out the apocalypse, make lots of friends and gain their trust
I agree, all my family and friends are very geographically disparate, Maine, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Vermont. Kinda am on my own down here, unfortunately.
you'll eat eachother in mass starvation, please evacuate the island.
looks like a bunch of cheap unused gear that you haven't done reps with. Major LARP vibes.
You don't need any of that bro the pigs will save you lol
A rifle would go a long way to improve your odds of survival.
He needs seeds.
Ah! Yes! I knew I was missing something! Thanks leaf! What are some good seeds with high vitality? I know sweet potato is a good one off the top of my head. Any others?
hardy vegetables like potatoes, radishes and carrots. You can even practice "pot gardening" which i suggest you do. Potatoes can be grown in large buckets or they even have fabric "potato sacks"
It depends alot on the climate where you plan to bug out. My bug out spot is pretty north so i need crops appropriate for the climate.
Buy some containers and start learning to garden now.
and canning
Duly noted, will do!
carrying a bunch of shit like that just makes you a target.
>he doesn't know how to navigate by using the stars
Here, maybe I just saved your life in the future.
Also if you're a brainlet, the stars keep turning, so the big dipper might be upside down (but the last 2 stars will always point to the north star)
what if you’re traveling during the day?
You can use the sun.
If it's high noon it will be pointing towards the south. Just remember that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. It's easy to remember if you just think about Japan (the country is located on the east and used to have a rising sun on the flag)
Doesn’t it change based on the season as well?
Frick if I know. But the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west regardless of the season.
Further info.
Their kanji for east is sun + tree.
but what is the north star indicating?
north?
pic is my face irl right now
but yes (in case you were for serious)
>in case you were for serious
yes, i was
so the front of that frying pan is always pointing to the north star which again shows where north is, right?
According to the U.S. army survival manual.
how does that kite look like, btw?
You don't have to know how to find south because you can always find south by finding north first. Just look at the opposite site dummy lel
so you can always see the northern one?
nice
Whadya mean?
there is not a single time you cant find the northern star (like its gone for some time), right?
The North Star and the Big Dipper are always visible at night unless it's cloudy as fuark.
k, nice
I mean if it’s overcast and cloudy you might be in for a rough one.
No fricking clue, doesn’t really matter as Im not in the Southern Hemisphere.
k, thx
ill try to remember that for the time the maggi runs out
Yes. The last two stars (the ones I've encircled in red) always point to the north star, regardless of the time/date. Just remember that the distance between the last star of the Big Dipper and the north star is about 6 times as long as the distance between the last two stars (the ones encircled in red)
ok, thanks man
i think i can manage that
Don't worry. Just remember if you're about to raid a Dutchgay, just ask him if he ever helped a random Anon how to find north on a dragon dildo restoration forum first.
There can't be a collapse, only incremental suppression of civil liberties.
there can be a collapse. all it would take is people finally having enough.
that sog shit is going to cost you your life plz upgrade it
Have you used before? They had decent reviews and it was a good bang for my buck as far as getting a collapsible entrenching tool, hatchet, machete/saw combo and full tang knife. Was able to get the whole kit for a decent price so it seemed like a good lightweight option.
Garden
Have heirloom seeds and experiance. Potatoes are a great source of calories.
Find what growes well in your area.
If you go in the woods to escape society, society will come to the woods to capture you
"The Woods" isn't as secure as you think
You have zero wilderness experience outside YouTube videos
If the woods don't kill you first, the ATF will
But most important fact of all is, you're not going to find any white women in the woods, and none of them will come to the woods with you
bugging in is the only way. although having a “get home” bag is more practical
ahem
with that you might be able to make it out of an urban area but if you dont have a bug out location to go to you are dead.
if you live in the far out suburbs maybe a few weeks if you dont get a pack of Black folk targeting you.
to live for years you need acres in a hard to reach location, lots of fuel for generator, solar, large tanks for water, a well, farm animals and a stock pile of feed stored in a way where it wont get bad or infested and some heavy machinery to support.
its almost impossible now for 99% of the people to survive post apocalypse.
and those 1% who "live great" in the first decades after collapse might not make it.
you arent seeing semiconductors come back for 30-50 years if 99% die off.
a deep collapse would be bad. most wont make it. and those that do have a good chance of dying while milking a cow rather than seeing high 2020 level tech become cheap and routine again.
the israelites trashing the system dont know what they are doing and they will plunge everyone into medieval darkness if this JQ remains unsolved.
You’re probably right, still better than having nothing and not even being able to get out of an area to begin with though.
So much this.
OP I was going to post pretty much the same thing.
You need a bug out location to get to if you do have to bug out.
Have you tried getting with a MAG (Mutual Assistance Group)? If not I would highly suggest you do as that would increase your chances of survival.
Start with the basics, shelter, water, food, first aid, and a means of self-defense. Your location will dictate the importance of the order of items. If you live in the middle of the city I would suggest you get the hell out now as cities are a death trap.
Have a Get Home Bag in your car in case shit goes down while you're at work and you need to get to your family or more advanced preps at home.
Get a packet radio so you can shitpost during the habbening.

Please don't tell me you're planning to come here and survive............with that pile of meme.
You won't get a week in and be either street meat tacos or ass raped to death.
Wherever I choose to go, I will survive. The more time I have to prep my skills and my gear only increases my chances. What’s your gear look like if you don’t mind me asking?
nice sog blades, would you not want a slightly heavier hatchet?
Thanks fren, I dunno, I am trying to keep things relatively lightweight. Given that I am trying to pack as much gear as I am, the lighter option usually prevails.
Yeah fair, not sure of the terrain you're preparing for. If you're planning on spending the a lot of time in the woods a slightly chunkier hatchet will save you an incredible amount of energy. Your machete would probably do the work of that hatchet you have now. I love chopping wood, and have done a lot of hours with different axes and hatchets. The amount of labor the right one can save, is significant. They make some good ones out of composite materials now that are light and basically indestructible.
I’ll certainly look into it. I live in a more sparse desert climate so it’s not like I’ll be chopping down big ol’ pine trees or cutting up cords of wood or anything.
ah ok.
I would replace those lighters with real bic lighters or a zippo and some lighter fluid with extra flints. Those cheapo lighters destroy the flints quick if they get even damp.
I do got the zippo, but yeah agreed, the cheapo lighters do kinda suck ass.
Also a pretty unknown survival life hack: bring a pencil sharper so you can create kindling very easily.
>samurai sword
>multiple cases of Mountain Dew
Hahaha topkek anon, keep it up! Proud of you!
These snacks seem to fit your taste pallette frog. xD
officially gonna make it
You need Water, Food, Shelter,durable clothing, and warmth.
Yessir, I have a small water filtration system (lifestraw) as well as water purification tablets. I have a 1 person tent, bivy bag, and tarp for shelter. I might need some more heavyweight clothing, but being in south Texas it’s pretty damn hot so trying to keep it lightweight. Also being down here it doesn’t get too cold, even in the winter. Some long johns and a fleece under my outer clothing should suffice.
you have no food huh... good luck out there
Nah I got MRE’s.
Frick MREs get peak refuels they taste way better
I’ll take a look into it, ty!
Get an MSR pocket rocket and peak refuels they are so much better than MREs. Everyone heats up their MREs over fire anyways. The heating packs are very mediocre for cooking them.
you have 10 lbs of MRE's? what's that in days of food?
I've been poor my entire life and have had to endure what they call "rough living," most of it. Been homeless all throughout the Winter with single digit temps, spent months in the woods (Appalachian Trail), had to deal with bed bugs/wasp/etc infestations... I am "prepped" psychologically and physically. Most people would completely fold under the shit I've endured. I don't need supplies, because I'm just going to stumble upon yours when you've offed yourself or through raids or hiding in a tree with a knife. Yeah, I have some shit, but until you've actually done it, you dont realize how little you actually need to survive. I prefer to stay light and use my fishing/foraging/hunting skills and either acquire shit on my way or setup a vast network of resource nodes I can access regardless of my location. At least you have a mindset of staying mobile, but that's a lot of fricking weight that's going to slow you down even if you're in top physical shape. Don't tell me you're gonna be wearing body armor too?
Best advice I can give to anyone when SHTF. Dig a fricking hole and hibernate for 6 months.
Sorry to hear anon, but your experience will stand you in good stead. You wouldn't even need violence , small groups would gladly want someone like you around for your knowledge and xp.
Actually surviving in the woods for months is beyond most people, carrying all this shit around is going to exhaust you and most of it won't be used.
If you are in the north hemisphere you probably need a small properly made knife (no operator chink made shit) and a woodsman axe, e.g. gransfor Bruk.
UK has a dying bushcraft tradition , we just don't have the land anymore.
Well shieeet Black, sounds like a mf been ‘round the block.
In all seriousness though, I’m sure you are correct in saying that it’s surprising how little one needs to survive, but a few odds and ends that help out can’t possibly hurt that much, can they? Like sure i don’t need a one man tent, I could always just use a tarp and make a shelter that way, but it is nice, small and lightweight, and helps to keep any potentially hazardous wildlife away. Being a larger dude who is in fairly good physical condition, it really doesn’t weigh me down in that much, but you’re right, it still does slow me down. But I am also looking at longevity/endurance as supposed to speed/agility. And no, not planning on wearing body armor as well.
Two more weeks and the collapse finally happens
Everything in that photo looks like it'll break in one use.
What are some must have items?
A pair of balls, a will to live and absolutely no fear of death.
Do I need a compass? How about rope?
Yes to compass but you also need maps and basic navigation skills. But a good compass is lightweight and invaluable for what it provides , nobody does serious innawoodsing without one unless they stick to areas they are familiar with.
Alright sir, compass goes on the list
That's right keep buying useless shit, goyim
>big compass is run by israelites
Impressive
Do you really need a compass if you live in a city or know where the north star is? There are more ways to get your bearings too.
most of prep and survival tools are for marginal situations and redundancy. This is due to the fact you only die once. A small well made compass could save your ass in a handful of situations.
Compass is helpful, get some topographic maps of your area or where you’re planning on going, and I’d recommend 550-Paracord. Durable and lightweight.
>Do I need a compass? How about rope?
Where are you going? Can you look up in the sky at night and see the North star? And rope is a good thing, but you can make rope in the field.
Survival gear companies are rubbing their israelite hands because fear sells.
A team of raiders will always go after easy pickings like the lone white guy with lots of stuff to take
doomsday preppers are the most cucked group in america. imagine being too much of a pussy to join the military and then spending your life LARPing like a fricking zogbot. thank you for your service ma'am
>too much of a pussy to join the military
>zogbot
I've never seen these two in the same post
Imagine being so dumb as to sign up for the military in this day and age to fight and die for ZOG. I’ll fight and die on my own terms, thank you very much. Now if it were a couple decades ago, yes, you would be correct.
if anyone wants a good survival knife recommendation take a look at the SOG Bowie 2.0. Its not massive, but heavy enough the chop wood, the quality of steel is insane and it comes with a small wetstone. It has doubled in price since I got mine so their may be cheaper options but if you want quality check it out.
>I really do feel like things are getting to the point of no return.
KEK, no they aren't. Get a grip.
>In the woods

>Be in society

Be cozy pilled, not larp pilled
It gets proper fricked when your tools break/run out supplies.
The only way to survive in truly apocalyptic scenario is community or back to stone age as solo.
I'd say investing in good location with a good community with skills is the most important thing, if will increase survival and will get a huge jumpstart to your position and experience in the new states that will pop up from the aftermath
>or back to stone age
Exactly. Lots of old Indian campsites in my area. I have picked up many native hand tools which are still good today. I also bought a flint knapping set, collected good flint pieces, watched YouTube vids, and learned to knap my own arrowheads.
This was mostly for fun, I have good bow and many arrows, shafts, replacement parts. Someone earlier posted about gunfire attracting attention. My ammo is fur defense only. Food can be taken by bow or trapping.
Overhunting game is gonna be another thing. Big suppliers of food will die off with the herds as soon as logistics break, anyone who survives will go for wild game.
Shit will be fricked on so many levels
The amount of people alive now, even just in USA and even if only 1% survive that's still 3.5million in US. There was 2.5 million in thirteen colonies and these were organised colonies with complex supply chains including overseas and urban zones too.
The chaos and death will be incomprehensible.
Black person what? What a bong take on game and wild life. You sir are a moron and a uneducated traveler. Do you even know how much wild life is subservient to the crown?
You really don't know shit lol
I know guns and you have none. Good luck with being subservient to your mast3rs
>you don't know shit
<no YOU don't know shit
Ok lol
Lololoooloolooo. What a smooth response. Bet it's as smooth as your frontal lobe. Jfc Black person.
The surviving hordes will want to eat and they will go for the wild game even if they don't know how and with no thoughts of sustainability
All the domesticated food sources will die without the copious amount of feed sourced through industrial farming and complex supply chains. Wild game will be the only food left
Fricking farming won't even work in most of US since majority of your topsoil is fricked from chemicals and industrial farming practices on mono crops
Nigel. You really don't know how fricked you are.
>Overhunting game is gonna be another thing. Big suppliers of food will die off
Checked. That's why the pigeon/dove trap posted earlier was so very cool. I have very easy lake access, and I picked up a free hot tub off of craigslist. Ordered lilly pads online. Swimming pool filtration. I have a catfish colony and take them as they get big, can keep my catches alive in it. Bass. Perch. Catfish. The lake is down a private road. Don't mess with motorboat, have 3 really nice kayaks. Chickens. Pygmy goats. 3 pecan trees, figs, peach, mulberry trees, blackberry vines.
something to consider
there was a poacher team in alberta, a husband and wife, they shot hundreds of deer over a couple of years. they didn't take the meat, just mounted the heads and sold them to american oilmen who wanted to say they shot something when they went to edmonton to bang hookers. the government had no idea until farmers starting reporting headless deer all over their land.
so you can kill hundreds of these hoofrats and nobody even notices. the gov counts them with planes too lol
IDK about Texas specifically (OP), but there are enough acorns to feed the entire world. If you live in an area with acorns and you die, it's because you're fricking moronic. In the original thirteen colonies, acorns were THE staple of their diet.
Acorns? Your not from Texas. Pecans are a staple here
Yeah you'll totally survive societal collapse with a wallmart tier bug out stash. I just need a knife because I'm gonna eat people.
I wouldn't eat the people, I'd just use them as cutbait for fishing and predators.
>congratulations!
>you acquired AIDS, HEP ABC, mad cow!
How would that happen exactly when I kill them before they have a chance to swallow the bait let alone digest it? Certainly less of a chance than eating the people directly.
Well I am not so sure anymore mega satin
First of all you buy the books to read them and remember what to do if that day comes.
Second, I only see unnecessary weight.
With what you are going to hunt? With the pistol? Have you ever hunt wild animals in your life?
Pistol can't do shiet to a wild boar or a deer.
Nah, I’m looking to get a rifle of some sort. Also I used to bow hunt with a recurve, so I’m also looking into buying this survival now that folds up and then folds back out when you need it. Only about 14 inches when folded. stick that in the backpack with some arrows and I’m good to go.
I’m ready to go pretty much whenever but I’m a pretty prolific hunter and outdoorsman. Practice using everything in your kit OP.
I'm going out with a bang. moron ukrop Black folk took the bait. When my time comes, I will deliver. You no gun having homosexuals, stand by. If my personal glowie agent decides I'm a risk to ns, then come get me Black person homosexuals. My government hates white men and if they hate me and want to subdue me, then come do it.
Found the zoomer incel.
Do it homosexual!!
>me and my MC see homosexual OP moving with all this shit by himself
>shoot him and take it
>now we have good gear
Thanks pack rat. If you're not in a group when society collapses, you're fricked.
checked, same thought all across the continents XD
>See MC rolling down the street
>They don't even see me from the tree line.
>So densely packed I don't even really have to aim
>Know that if I drop one or 3 the rest will keep riding.
>Profit
I'll take a group over solo. Good luck.
Your group will leave your dead body and gear rather than risk being killed. If I were in a group, I'd do the same thing. If you think any differently, you're already dead. Hell, maybe your group will kill you.
Not if I shoot you first.
All in! Ante up!
I love guys like you. Take one down and I'm set.
2 more weeks
Then the final btfo
data is needed. you will need books and knowledge because the internet will go down
Like this?
Well now we know you live in Texas and are suspicious of the government and plan to "bug out" "when" society collapses. Maybe feds should watch you. As you get older and society doesn't collapse like you want it too you'll become bitter and maybe shoot some random people and yourself after writing a little manifesto. You should be on a list.
Lol you’re describing pretty much every white male in Texas you stupid Black person
Ok well at least they have you specifically and your ip.
So what? Nothing anyone is taking about here is illegal.
This, ever so much. Except beta onion boy city gays.
>knows I live in a state larger than France
>knows I have survival/outdoor equipment
>should be on a list.
You’re moronic. If nothing happens I just use this gear to go out and enjoy nature.
See
Silly goose
I have a ton of pdfs, I think I will print them out one day
>I think I'll carry around reams of fricking paper.
Anon, commit it to memory now or you're ngmi.
This
The book is made for reading. It's not a tool like a hammer or something.
Have you done a legit backpacking trip yet tho? Or hunted an animal? I have the whole boog setup too but the more I learn the more I realize I’m a dunningkrueger who needs to learn more
I like how you set up the camera and posed like it's a candid shot and not a social media tier selfie
My wife took the photo homosexual
While I’ve done quite a bit of primitive camping for a few days at a time, and done some bow hunting before, I haven’t gone on a full on multi week backpacking trek before. It’s something I’m planning on doing soon. Yeah, the more I know the more I know I don’t know shit, but that’s not going to stop me from learning.
>Fellow goy... I mean anons. Post >pictures of your supply stockpiles and >weapons. Tell us your plans for societal >collapse and where you plan on going.
OP, serious question.
You planning to stay where you are and “bug in” if things get sporty, or are you expecting to go somewhere else and ride it out?
Without digging into your thread I would like to note that you need to budget 1 litre of water for every 2 hours of physical effort and a single litre for every 6 hours of just fricking off.
A good lensatic compass will save your life, buy one. USGS offers excellent topographic maps for cheap. Get one for where you are, and one for where you plan to end up.
Rifle? Start with a Henry AR-7, anyone who says otherwise can frick right off.
A Ruger SR 22 takedown is also a solid choice.
We are talking survival, long term. Not mad max gunfights.
Bugging out. Yeah I was looking into the USGS topo maps, I still will probably acquire some in the future, but I found a book of pretty in depth topographic maps for the entirety of Texas for the same price as one usgs map.
Water will be crucial, I do have multiple ways of getting and purifying water, but the more the merrier.
Will take a look into the guns you mentioned! Ty for your response!
Eval(
feels bad lurking itt knowing I have nothing and nowhere to go. the worst part is that it almost bores me.
You got two very viable options.
Comfort maiden for Bubba and the gang or surrender to the government. Immediately go to your closest military base at the beginning of the happening and claim asylum.
>nothing to lose

Get...
Steel cook pot, at least 64 Oz, with a handle for hanging it.
6" full tang knife for doing all that gay YouTube survival shit.
Folding saw.
Smaller knife for smaller things.
Fishing line, hooks, a little bit of bait to get you started. Make your own bobbers and use a stick for a rod.
Snare wire (it weighs nothing and can be useful in the rare case you can use it).
22lr rifle and a 1000 rounds.
10x10 tarp. Or a durable poncho, that can double as a tent and a rain layer.
Paracord, or nylon cord, or some kind of useful rope like thing you can carry a lot of.
Some sort of thing to sleep in that doesn't care if it gets wet. Wool blanket or poncho liner. Don't carry too much sleeping material, wear most of what you'll sleep in.
Soap, washcloth, some ethanol in a flask, booboo kit to prevent little cuts from becoming big problems.
Your backpack shouldn't weigh more than 45 pounds. Most of what you need should be on your person. Lots of pockets and pouches. Make sure you own some durable clothing. Learn to waterproof your clothing and carry a little extra with you.
Have everything on that list except for the fishing equipment, the 22., and instead of a folding saw I have a machete that doubles as a hand saw.
>Steel cook pot, at least 64 Oz, with a handle for hanging it
you better paint that shit a matte color otherwise I'm gonna see the sun reflecting off you from a mile away and will have a perfect target.
For all the eu gays. This link will shoa the thread. Eat a dick no gun gays. https://thegatalog.com/
zippos evaporate fuel over time, just so you're aware.
i did enough field problems in the army to know that your loadout is missing some key shit. the idea here is to fill your ruck with enough critical items to sustain you while still being able to hump rough terrain. this means being extremely economical with your load and knowing what you must have versus what you might want to have.
the most critical items on your packing list besides socks are a sleep system and portable shelter. sleeping outside is a miserable affair that will crush and freeze the frick out of you unless you plan for it. you increase your chances of dying exponentially even in hot weather by failing to pack the right sleep gear in your ruck.
next on the list is a canteen and some kind of water purification system if no water resupply is available. cryptosporidium does not care how hard you are and will destroy you so do not forget your grail filter some other slick shit like that. nobody beyond dirty-ass curryBlack folk and africans can drink raw water and not end up close to death.
medical items like foot care and wound management shit are also critical. fricked feet or infected skin mean you cannot move and if you cannot move then you are dead. having an aid kit with duct tape, oral rehydration salts, super glue, clotting agents, baby wipes, and antiseptics will save your life in the event that you get hurt.
next is utility shit like firestarters, gloves, bungie cords, poncho, battery-powered GPS with extra batteries, red-lens flashlight, radios, pace counters and some of the shit in your picture. do not forget to bring a fricking lighter and cotton balls covered in vaseline. getting a flame going and keeping it burning is harder than most people realize.
top all that off with some cold gear and extra uniforms and you are already humping maybe 50 pounds plus your weapon and ammo. that does not sound like much but it absolutely is when you have to spend your day moving under it. this is the price you pay to survive.
