EMERGENCY backpacking * 1
    #14957497 - 08/21/11 04:27 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Say your local community gets hit next week by a major natural disaster, and you knew this so u decided to pack a emergencybackpack to get you and your family ready for the survival....

What would you put into it?

Heres some of the things i would gather with me...

Knife & Multitool (If u have firearm thats a plus too :grin: )
Map and compass
Flint or fire starter kit
Fishhooks & line
Metal cup or metal can
Water sterilizers
Emergency blankets (one for each family member)
First Aid Kit with medical gloves
Basic first aid guide
Duct tape
Sewingkit
Rope
Flashlights with Batterys
Canned foods & Snacks
Dry and warm shift of clothes, a wool underlayer, fleese as middle layer and a rainproof upper layer is the safest method to keep warm and dry if u live in a cold enviorment :thumbup:

Safe travels everyone :mushroom2:

Add personal/valuable items. Paperwork, ID's, Deed to your house, jewelry, passport, credit cards, etc....

Ditch the canned foods and go with high calorie, high protein dried goods. Beans and rice FTW.

Maxi Pads. They are dual purpose. They do the job they are intended to do, but also make an awesome bandage. Pair it with your duct tape for a compression dressing.

Don't forget any personal meds.

Often overlooked items on a regualar backpacking trip:
Sunscreen
Hats warm/sun depending on season

Also didn't see water bottles on your list.

-magnifying glass
can be used to quickly start a fire, even when wet. The downside is sun is needed

-mirror
you can signal other people from afar

I'd also replace the flashlight with one of those combo ones which is a wind-up flashlight radio thing.

Nice add on, by something to carry water in i put metal can, could be used both for cooking and drinking, though you got a point, bottles would be most beneficial...

> Flashlights with Batterys

I'd ditch both of these.  Batteries are heavy and can cause a huge mess if/when they leak.  I would add in a handful of glow sticks instead.  They are light, have a long shelf life, and can be dual purposed as markers if needed.

A few more things...

Mole skin
Safety scissors
Small sharpening stone
Spoon (don't need a fork, already have a knife)
Extra socks
Gloves
Sleeping bag
Ground cloth / tarp
String
Light rope
Containers for water
Small sponge
Small tent

I have an emergency kit next to my computer, let's face it that's where I'm more likely going to be when shit goes down, containing

rain poncho
utility rope
gas mask
hand crank flashlight
hunting knife
matches (won't last but good to have in a pinch)
heavy coat
12 gauge plus assorted ammo

what I am missing
water filter (making one)
sleeping bag
portable crank powered radio

Oh yeah, not really  part of a backpack, but a bicycle is the most handy vehicle to have in case of an emergency. If there is traffic and/or broken roads, the bicycle can get around them. You can also cover quite a distance on a bicycle.

If you use a bicycle, a multi-tool, puncture repair kit, and pump will all be needed. However, these can be kept with the bicycle.

well ...hate to break your bubble.
Your first problem will be dodging military helicopters, as well as an armada of other military technology which will intercept you and keep your ass contained in a FEMA concentration camp.

If you are caught outside the FEMA camp without proper papers or authorization you probably would be shot and killed on the spot.

So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
While in hiding, I guess most of that stuff in your nap sack, you could all ways shove up your ass, because it wont be much use to you when you are dead.

Your positive attitude is truly inspirational :thumbup:
Already well aware of the FEMA camps, thanks for the heads up though... IMO, Looking at all the signs of shit going down in our universe these days, i believe theres bigger issues facing us long before FEMA and/or martial law will step in..
