Get home pack. What do you have in it?

[madmarinehays]

So what would you have in your get home pack? I am talking about the general area 10 to 50 miles to get home. What would you carry and how much (food, ammo, weapons, gear)? How do you navigate? Are there bridges or roads that could be closed or destroyed?

The scenario could be anything from snow apocalypse, dam breaking, earthquake, EMP, Zombies or anything else. You just got to get home and cars are not an option, it's still early on so people haven't lost their minds yet and there is some social order.

In for answers. I thought I was going to end up in South Florida yesterday to retrieve my mother inlaw. Getting back would be a slow process. I thought a lot about what to bring.

I've got nothing but a full tank of gas, my Draco, and plenty of nicotine...

Also have a small bag with plenty of water, snacks, hygiene, 2 man tent, rope, g19, jacket, pair of shoes/socks, moving blanket, some hunting clothing...

Water- 2/4 bottles and tabs to purify
Food- snack/quick energy stuff/ cliff bars are my preference
Shelter- tarp/550 cord
Fire- lighter/matches/cotton balls
First aid- basic medical/stop bleeding
Tools- knife/multi tool/flashlight

Ammo- "load out" mags (7 total)
Gun-AR/EDC handgun

Quick grab and go. Light and easily mobile.

For weapon and ammo count.
I am thinking 75 rounds of 40sw for my glock 22 in 4 mags. 2x 15round mags and 2x 22round glock fun sticks, + 1 in the chamber. And going to stay CCW.

Thoughts?

This does not include a tactical vest and it's contents kept in a separate pack. This may seem like a lot, but most of it is very small and light. Actual weight of the pack is right at 35lbs.

Don't overlook medications and treatments for injuries. They weigh very little and in a SHTF situation, a minor infection could end up killing you without treatment.
