The alice pack is a good choice. No matter how hard the military tries to get away from it, they keep going back to the fundemental design.

"I had a plastic frame on my old alice pack. It broke within a month of bug out trianing. That's why I want an aluminum frame to keep the weight as reasonable as possible while maintaining strenght.

No offense but in an apocalypse of any kind I think you could replace your hair products and acne soap with more food. Unless your acne is among deadly types

Camp kitchen seems sparse. I've been having trouble finding a cooking kit that fits both needs and wallet. In desperation (OK, I wanted to do a video but had no gear, not really desperation) I used a #10 can of beans, a piece of coat hangar, and some light chain to make a camp cook pot. I was pleasantly surprised (with the food too). I may not buy anything else, although, some of those kits with fry pans still draw my desire. Regardless of what kind of cooking you expect to do, a simple cook pot with a 1L capacity is a good idea. Keep in mind, water purification tablets are gold. Have them in you BOB for the times when you can't build a fire. It takes 4 hours for chlorine dioxide to be fully effective. Iodine tabs are only a few minutes. Boiling takes maybe an hour, including time to build a fire. The main point is that firewood (in many cases) is plentiful, your tabs are limited. Do you find this valuable? |

"No offense but in an apocalypse of any kind I think you could replace your hair products and acne soap with more food. Unless your acne is among deadly types"My facial acne is bad enough that I can't shoulder my weapon, hurts like hell. @ Zee-Man I've been looking for a portable camp stove & collapsible pot, I tried the metal bean can & melted through the bottom after about 3 uses, firecraft is something I know how to do really well & have the need tools in the bag for it. @ Badwolfe Tp is always in short supply at my place, cant but it in till bag is needed.

"My facial acne is bad enough that I can't shoulder my weapon, hurts like hell.Wash your sheets and pillowcase at least once a week. Worked wonders on my acne. Try antique stores for cheap camp pots. The Cowboys knew how to get it done. And TP... was the second thing I ever began stockpiling. SPAM was the first. I've got so goddamn much of both now I can wipe my ass till the SPAM runs out... which will be around 3 months, or a heart attack, whichever comes first. Do you find this valuable? |

There is no reason you should have to pay more then $25 for a good pack.I see ALICE packs every week at flea markets, auctions and thrift stores for under $20. You know if people are selling them on ebay for $35 that ain't paying even that much for them.I see lots of other high quality packs priced cheap at these places because many people I guess buy a pack and use it once or so and then sell them.I paid $5 for my Eiger pack and $10 for my Kelty Redtail that still had the hang tags on it What are you planning on using a slingshot, two BB guns and 3,000 BBs for? I guess if you are planing on living off pigeons for the next 5 years it would make sense but otherwise I don't understand why you need these in a BOB. Carry the BB pistol and maybe a couple 100 BBs if it is powerful enough to kill a large bird or rabbet and you can shoot it accuratly enough. Slingshot?....Can you actually hit anything with it reliably enough to make it worth while A folding cot ?!......A blow up mattress takes up less space and could be used to float across a river but still probably not needed Cold weather hats and face masks but not even a real blanket or sleeping bag. Cheap small tarp is pretty light and makes for an OK shelter Wheres the food? I guarantee you will get hungry befor you use things like knee pads, sap gloves, extra pants, base ball bats etc. I'd want a water purifyer bottle, I bought mine at Walmart for about $40 again something that you would actually use. An old US surplus steel canteen with it's cup and carrier can be bought for $10 and you can cook in the cup and is more useful then a hip flask Do you find this valuable? |

Food & water will be MRE, Peanut butter, some canned goods, my camel back holds 2 liters & once i get my stock of food back up I can get Em water packets. Sling shot I'm am fairly accurate with plus if you need to get some where & a horde is in ur way, shoot out a window with it drawing the enemy away from our target area. Baseball bats are my main melee, pads are for protection from falling damage, & water purification is easier with fire to boil the water. Do you find this valuable? |
