My bug out kit

[Mosinowner]

One sock?

 

[OneShotFOGE]

Are you wearing the one sock like the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

 

[schapm]

Take out a lot of that ammo. That should be on your second line gear.

Add some fast portable food, like Cliff bars, meal replacement bars, MRE peanut butter, beef jerky etc.

Add shelter: nysil tarp, 550 cord, contractor bag and space blanket.

You need more than matches to make a fire. Add dry tinder and a bic lighter.

Ditch the screwdrivers and add a multitool

Replace one of the folding knives with a short fixed blade. I would simply keep a folder on me, a fixed blade in the BOB, along with a multitool.

Add a pair of light wool socks in a ziplock bag

Add some way to treat water for drinking.

Gospel.

1 quickclot.
1 IBD (israeli battle dressing).
water purification tablets or a water container that can be boiled.
maybe a battery backup if you have a cellphone (the small ones for cellphones).

 

[Icarry2]

From what I see I would take out the heavy AR tool and put it at your BOL. Also why have the AR tool if you don't have any spare parts for the AR? Springs set, pin set, firing pin.. Just a thought.

[kawasakiridrzx6r]

I definately forgot the spare parts in my bob......what a rookie...lol

 

[Slawburger]

Compass, map, garbage bags (poncho, shelter, water collection, ground cloth, etc), water purifier (tablets, filter), flint, sharpening stone, small crank radio (preferably with USB port), mess kit.

Less ammo, multi-tool replaces screwdrivers.

Anyone know the typical round count is for special operations/light infantry guys is? That round count seems very high and is a lot of weight.....

Go on a long hike with your pack and that much ammo and then go on one with considerably less ammo......

Well anyone who would post that info on the Internet is a douche bag and jeopardizes the lives of our soldiers and opsec. So I'm sure someone here will be along shortly to post it anyways. (Rolls eyes)

But I wouldn't recommend a civilian arry a combat loadout.

If you are on your own or with your family your priority is to be fast not to stay and fight. If you go through a couple 30 round mags without an egress your in big trouble. I say 6 30 round mags and 2 mags for pistol.

 

[Tactical Dave]

Fair enough.... sorry, was not thinking straight. I have always thought 5 30 round mags and two pistol mags was plenty for a bug out bag.

If you and your spouse both have 5 rifle mags each and you need them all then chances are its your fault in my opinion.

 

[Trigger Time]

I'd have most of my mags on me in a discrete wAy and not in my pack. Ammo in a personal vehicle would be on stripper clips. With the exception of a few mags. Additional ammo and supplies would be located in areas enroute to my BOL and at my BOL.
Also the above was in addition to one mag already in each gun. That's just my personal plan. Everyone has to choose their own path.

In my Backpack

-Bandages, Gaz, Tape, tourniquets, tweezers, moleskin , assorted pressure pads and cloths, steri strips, soudafed and pain relievers, wilderness first aid manuel, boyscout handbook.




Suggestions on what I could add or remove? The backpack is a maxpedition condor II and the Active shooter bag is a US Peacekeeper Rapid Deployment Pack

How are you going to stuff a GAZ into your backpack?

It's not really that hard to find out. Just Google Images of the TEAMS that the douche bags you speak of have posted on the net for eveyone to see and count whats on their rigs.

I added some helpfully hints in () that may help shed quite a bit of weight and free up some space.... A military issue poncho takes up little space and weight and has many uses.... I have been able to find multiple uses for things and shrink so much of my list down that I can survive short term on a wallet sized pack and can live for days rather comfortably out of a large ALICE..... Takes time and quite a few overnight stays in the woods to sort it all out.

 

[RAMBOCAT]

Loose the bayonet and replace it with the ESEE knife of your choice. It will never let you down and has a lifetime warranty. I also might add a slingshot.

 

[Trigger Time]

I see several people saying they have an ar-15 armorers tool. I think that's highly unnecessary. Have one at your Bol or in a cache. That's a lot of unnecessary weight when you wanna be fast.

I have been trying to find a legit tarp like the one I was issued, but so far I haven't been able to find one anywhere. I thought I found them on Amazon, but when they arrived, they were super thin and I'm not willing to use it for anything at all, really. Where did you get yours?

I have an AR-15 wrench and I was also scratching my head when I read that. How about get the best AR-15 you can afford and make sure it's ready. If you need an AR wrench in the field, it's probably time to go to your pistol, pickup the other guys rifle, or run like hell.
