I live in a rural area and need to know what are some must haves for my bag
Welcome! Go write an intro when you get a minute...
There's a very long thread that covers a lot of good information on the board that I can't seem to find right now (it really needs a sticky).
Are you asking about the bad itself or what's in it?
For a bag it needs to be small enough to carry on foot comfortably. Say 30 lbs of stuff. I prefer backpacking day packs to the typical bug out / military style bags. They're more comfortable to carry and are less likely to make you a target... To each his own though...
What's in it? In no particular order: Firearm, ammo, food, water, shelter, water purification, fire starter, light, first aid, knife. You have to decide its use and how long you need to survive. Does it stay in the car? Are you in a rural or city environment? How far do you have to go to reach shelter? Each one of us has a different situation. Think it through...
I want to take time to thank all responses to my question the help i received was great. Now i am well on my way to completing my bag . This is a great sight and from what i see good people helping others . Thanks again
That's a pretty good list to start with. I think most of those items are already present in most households here in Louisiana. Just part of hurricane preparedness.
