[QUOTE="kennedy, post: 1903094, member: 7176"] Hump and myself are good friends and with that list of pack contents, let's just say.....we win against the zombies. On a serious note...Yes his pack is heavy, but I don't see in a SHTF situation most people having to "hike" very long distances. My supplies are heavy and many(family of 3). I just need to get them close to a location and hike them into my site. Most people will lighten their load to go out exploring and scavenging anyway. I have some of the larger Harding cases to carry the food and some other supplies and it takes 2 people to carry it, but I have enough items in it to support a nice base camp. From there I can lighten the load to a small mission specific pack to gain additional supplies and to conduct patrols. One main item most people overlook is toilet paper...buy yourself a decent foodsaver vacuum sealer and use it to seal toilet paper. Remove the carboard middle and put it in a vacuum bag and seal it. This will not only keep it dry, but it will also reduce the size and the space needed in the pack. Other items most people have not thought of: 1. Powdered Gatorade(loaded with electorlites and also changes the taste of water everyday as well as hides the flavor of some of the nastier tasting additives to purify the water) 2. Toilet paper 3. Candy if you have kids(suckers...lifesavers) 4. Some form of entertainment(travel games, roll out checkers etc) 5. Whatever pack you have, get a rain cover for it Just a few...feel free to add more suggestions [/QUOTE]
