Lately I have begun to think more about evacuation kits. So I thought that I would bring back the tread.
I the event that something should happen I want my family to be mobile. I also want guns for both protection and hunting. I want to be able to hide and/or be found.
Here’s what I got ready so far.
Fishing pole and fake worms that can catch most species of fish.

I saw a show on Discovery, I think. It was talking about the volcano in the Canary Islands that has a major crack at the top of the ridge. About 2 miles of hillside (I forgot the total weight they calculated, but suffice it to say it's a $hitload) at some point will slide off into the sea and the entire east coast of the US is gonna get swamped by a 100 ft. high tsunami, along with multiple other big waves.
And another question. I have my BOBs nearly ready, with multiple versions in the two vehicles (which would be moved to the SUV).
But we're always talking about guns and ammo - go figure. But how much is too much. If we have to carry it, even a couple hundred rounds is heavy.
Unless the hordes are sweeping across the Charles, I have no place to go that's not an hours drive on the pike.
So how much is "enough"? (rethorical, I"m sure).

Very interesting list, Adam... I'm going to reread this at home and use it as a basis for a bag of my own.First aid kit
Multi Tool
Fire starting supplies
Stainless mess kit
Stainless mug
Utensils
Toiletries - TP, Tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, pre-moistened towels
Tri-fold shovel
4 MRE entrées
4-2 person Mountain House meals
Very interesting list, Adam... I'm going to reread this at home and use it as a basis for a bag of my own.
Questions - What type of fire starting supplies? (matches, lighters, ?)
What brand multi-tool?
Utensils? Typical scout pack, knife, fork, spoon?
MREs - whole MRE or just the entree?
Magnesium fire starter
2 Bic lighters (I roll up some paper, and place it so the valve cannot be pressed down, then electrical tape it in place)
Small zip-loc with dryer lint, and some dry shredded bark (tinder)
Speaking of masks... don't know about you Adam but I'm keeping a razor on hand because the first thing to go should I have the need for a mask with tight fit is my goatee.
My question is what does the rest of your family do for supplies? Do you have a pack for the wife and kids set aside as well?
