Just re-supplied my bag last weekend. In fact, I found things in it I did not remember packing. I live in earhtquake country and this is just part of the overall bag-out bags, we also have one in each 4x4

That's a bug out bag?

(a) No waist belt, so *not* very comfortable.
(b) 1st aid kit?
(c) tent?
(d) sleeping bag?
(e) rain gear?
(f) firearms/ammo?

Good grief. I have more in my car.

Its a basic kit, designed to get people interested in the idea. Most ZSers take the idea a bit...further.

They didn't show it, but "Billy" had a Kimber in an IWB holster. ;) I agree it was pretty minimal. I've got more in the bookbag I carry every day. And we won't even get into some of the gear that other ZSers have, especially those who keep an INCH (I'm Never Coming Home) bag. ("Dude, you're a bachelor. Why does your first aid bag have a full OB kit?" :shock: And, no, I'm not making that quote up... :roll: ) I think they were trying to get the basic idea across without scaring off the sheeple.

One of my favorite lines overheard at a "outdoor/camping/survival" expo.....

"Dude, you're scaring the straights!"

For a beginner I can see it.
As a reminder, it's pretty good.
For those into it....
Well, You know the rest.

More likely like this, methinks.

Saying they take it a bit further, is like saying the Sun's a bit warm.. :lol:

At Campmors retail store, which is overrun with patchouli stink(both customers and sales clerks), freaking out the granola grazers has become a bit of a sport, whenever I and my friends stop in(usually on our way back from Ramsey Outdoors).

The phrase "You're scaring the norms"/"You're freaking out the hippies" has been used.. :mrgreen:

I think I posted my usual car and briefcase gear, but have I ever done my actual BOB and attendant Tupperware containers?
