What is the reasoning for the Constitution?
Posted on 8/1/22 at 10:34 am to Homey the Clown
What is your plan?
To leave your home and all your stuff to bug out where?
A get home bag makes much more sense, and most of your stuff doesn't make any sense with the goal of getting home to your main store of stuff.

I'm bored so here you go. without getting into the merits of a BOB or overall planning considerations, etc., here are my thoughts on the items you have chosen to carry.
overall: you have a bunch redundant or less than optimal stuff leading to a weight that is too high without food/water. You'll last longer than some, but still be dead within a week
In the bag:
cloud ID cards - why? you'll either be dead before this becomes handy or figure it out easy enough as you go if not
rope knot ID cards better to just know this, but maybe useful. does it tell you how to tie them and when to use them or just show you what they look like? latter is useless
The Constitution of the United States no
LED flashlight switch out for a headlamp
AAA Batteries for flashlight
can opener redundant, you have a Leatherman and 17 knives
leatherman tool
snake bite kit absolutely worthless. throw in trash, don't just remove from bag
trail flagging not worth carrying
deck of playing/survival cards
signal mirror
2 compasses how do you know which one is wrong? 1 or 3
550 paracord
mini water filtration system
heat reflective waterproof sleeping bag this might not be worth anything, depending on what it is
hand crank/solar powered radio
gerber hunting knife calm the frick down on knives. you don't need this many
first aide kit very important, but only as useful as the contents. I'm not optimistic
CRKT folding knife calm the frick down on knives. you don't need this many
Fillet knife calm the frick down on knives. you don't need this many
2 ponchos
5 big lighters too many
3 pencils
paper tablet
thermacell no
3 thermacell fuel refills no
6 thermacell cartridges no
toilet paper no
folding saw you are way to obsessed with sharp shite. You're carrying all this stuff. don't take the perfect tool for every job. Take a decent enough tool for the most likely job that will work in a pinch for something else or 5
hatchet see above
duct tape probably way too much. wrap some around a water bottle or something else you're already carrying. don't need to carry a full roll
4 chem lights unnecessary
fire striker i'd have more than one thing in this category if this is supposed to be a long term deal
50 rounds of 9mm
50 rounds of 38sp lol, no. sell this gun and the ammo.
Needs:
mini shovel
maps
sewing kit
camp fire cookware
go time gear life tent
zip ties

I don't know why you would need the constitution, playing cards, a cloud ID card or 7 knives. I would also lose the snake bite kit and the thermacell.
I would add a few bottles of water. If SHTF you'll need some immediate provisions to get to where ever it is you're going before you can set up and filtrate/boil water.

Congrats! You’ve got about 4.5 hours of mosquito protection.

Are you like 13 years old? Thats the bag I feel a 13yo would put together. No plan, just random survival type things with no coordination and link. Trash 90% if that and develop a plan first. Then build to the plan. Jesus this world is fricked. I see now how easy it's going to be to dispatch half of y'all and take your shite.

Rambo style survival knife with the saw on the back, with paracord handle, compass cap, and inside the handle some firestarter stuff, fishing line, hooks, and some leftover hydrocodone from an old prescription.
Whatever daily CC you have at the moment of SHTF. Doesn't need to be in your bag necessarily. If it takes 50 rounds to shoot your way out of a situation with a pistol, you are probably dead anyway.
I do have a BOB but I call it just a hunting bag, but could double as a BOB (an already-packed bag ready to go) and it has quite a few other items in it. Rain jacket, rain pants, emergency blanket, a beanie, some gloves, some random ammo, a small folding saw, a small camp pot, a ziplock with instant grits already seasoned, I think some aspirin, more tinder and fatwood, TP. A random folding knife. A headlamp. Some extra batteries. Custom first aid kit. A couple other random hunting related items such as a blaze vest, printed regs, maybe a dove flicker or 4, etc. It's just a waterproof carhardtt backpack.
With that bag, a Rambo knife, and really any fully loaded CC, bugging out is covered.
None of that includes what I already carry in the vehicle for a "Get Home" situation. I was motivated to do this when I unexpectedly drove into white-out conditions in a very rare snowstorm in Georgia many years ago. I made it home but was very very scared I wouldn't. I'm covered now.

I’m not a survivalist by any means but wanted to pass this along in case it could help someone.
I fill empty paper towel and toilet paper tubes with dryer lint and used bounce sheets to use as fire starter. Can also be cut into smaller pieces once filled.
Works great. That’s all I’ve got.

I’m thinking a get home bag. Odds are something might happen while you are away from home and you need to get home where everything is. Then you can pack up and bug out.
I remember right after 9/11, I lived close to the back gate of Pensacola NAS. All flight ops stopped except for helos patrolling the perimeter of the base with door gunner ready with ma duece.
Creepy times that made me start thinking of these type of things.

Might want to add a couple syringes loaded with steroids in case you need to move something heavy.
