Your favorite Bugout, Survival piece of equipment

a pocket pussy?

Titanium Goat's vertex 6.5 tipi with their large titanium stove.

Hard to beat a heated and nearly wind proof shelter that weighs less than 7 lbs total. Its nice but not a necessary item.

My favorite and most used piece of equipment is my knife.

It's a toss up between this



And this


I love both of these. Rugged, durable, and affordable. I do recommend the micarta scales for the BK2 though.

The med kit is the hard part.

Wish i could legally own morphine, diazepam, epinephrine and half a dozen very important survival medications. Some of the very strong antibiotics are hard to obtain also.

IV equipment is pretty important too, its amazing how fast infection complications like diarrhoea can kill people if you dont have a drip.

Somebody could catch crypto from river water after being a bit rundown after a few weeks on the move and it could end badly.

General,

I'm with you on the BK2. I have a first gen. I would definitely get the micarta scales for it.

My new knife is the Ontario Sp52.

Your medkit souds like a party to me lol

slingshot-quiet,kill small game and not likely to attract a lot of attention,and of course a firearm for personnal protection.

If you have a Camillus made Becker you might want to sell it or put it aside.....Buy yourself a Kabar for using cuz collectors are paying a hefty premium for the Camillus ones....

I dont have that in my medkit, it would be illegal here.

Heres a good, but funny tip for you guys.

If you are dehydrated, vomiting and you need rehydration; yet have no anti emetic medication and your waters sterility is in question.

Using a bottle with a nozzle, you can enema that shit. Doesnt sound pleasant but could save your life.

Cut a long story short, you guys dont need a 200lb bag of gear and equipment, you need survival skills.

After a week of carrying a backpack that weighs as much as a person you will not be in good shape.

Funny how he has tubbing on a raft but not a plastic bag to distill the water, Wanker

Yeah, what the fuck.

Paracord

dook,

1st gen Kabar not the orig Camillus.
I wish!

Pure shit. The poor people's weaponry.

I know I was going to get some asshole to put everything down. Sorry If I can afford my $1400 tacticool AR15

Cool, my little hike tent takes up about a third of my 80L pack with my minus 10 taking up the bottom third. I've seen those tiny little sleeping bags but they were very expensive, are they good?

Any lightweight .22 pistol will be a favorite piece of survival equipment. It's small and can be hidden almost anywhere; the ammo is dirt cheap and can be found almost anywhere.

Any rifle will be too large and hard to hide.

back in my prospecting days we were never without a Swedish Bush Axe (it's like a cross between a machete and an axe.)

Of course when we were staking claims we always used the traditional ox-head axe.

Both of these would require a file too.

I would'nt have one of those toys EITHER...

they are great, light and and below 0 degrees...

Right so that's the SAS smock and a new sleeping bag I need. My wife will go nuts.

I dunno....I'm a gear whore....been buying this kinda stuff since the 80s...if I have to narrow it down, its probably the stuff I made myself....

My handmade knives, long bow, fire piston,etc....

I also favor the parang, but the Bear Grylls one is not the best. I have a number of different sized native made ones. The BG is too short and not thick enough. The handles fail too easily.

They are awesome, ww2 replica's, most of them. They shoot VERY straight, very nice rifle. Good for game, and people. Raised sites for long range shots. Common round, easy to buy ammo.

Good choice BTW...

Honestly, i dont think so, they dont compare to a proper down sleeping bag. They are useable, but not ideal.

80L backback is aproaching what i consider the weight/volume limit. I personally dont think massive amounts of bulk is a good idea in the long term.

I dont consider the weight of water, machette, rifle/bow/crossbow in the BOB. Most of that stuff can be belt mounted or put on a sling.

Not entirely sure if a hydration pack is the way to go.

Cooking gear/fire equipment clips on the side of my bob, most of the military stuff like the webbing mess tin pouches are great for shit like that.

well morphine is almost impossible to get, but the lesser version of it TRAMADOL is easier to obtain as a pain-killer or pain-easer.
maybe you can use that in your medipack??
i don,t want to give anyone idea,s for drugs or something but i get it that its only ment for emergency uses is it not??

for me personally, ive started collecting a few months ago every month i buy certain items, medikits,tarp,knife,axe,saw
rope, en food and a waterfilter of course.

i live in holland where there is much much much water everywhere, so my next buy is gonna be an inflatible kayak(with some repairkits and 2 component expanding foam if an irrepairable leak appears i fill the chambers with that.)
i wanna go on bike or on foot so no hardshell kayak for on top of a car, its no use, there,s gonna be traffic for dozens of miles long everyday, let alone if there ever would be a disaster here.

i also need a tent and woodgasburningstove and some more stuff.
got my 100 liter backpack today in the mailorder.
its gonna go on my back for walking and on my bikeluggage cart if i go for distances.
well my new bug out bike is gonna be a cheap one as i think i leave it behind somewhere if it needs to be.
the bike cart i choose is also manageable as a handcart and i choose a 2 person kayak so the handcart should fit in nicely, also a 2 person kayak can handle more luggage weight

well every month nothing happens i get more usefull stuff.
and even when nothing happens?? well i don,t want it to go bad, but i know that it,s gonna be bad.

i might have the flee my home, or kicked out of my home if i can,t afford the mortgage anymore because of bad economy.
well then i have no choice to survive.
better to see it now and act on it now, most people of holland are just as ignorent as the rest of the world.
so arrogant, nothing will happen to us.

well we will see.

Survival implements are everywhere, what’s not everywhere are skills, so my favorite physical thing would have to be my brain, and what’s stored in it. I can go most anywhere with my brain and survive.

The sad part is how well I can survive off of other people’s lack of skills, but then it’s nice to be needed, I just refuse to do too much work for the skilless.
