anyone know of good places to find 40mm filters in the USA. looking for specifically particulate filters either p3, p99 or p100. This is what im looking at but it only sells in the UK.

anyone have any experience with bivy bags? thinking of getting one with a mesh fly <:apuyes:673419223715807259>

not particularly, compact hammocks are also neat, whatever keeps you dry, warm and off the ground

I'm thinking my /out/ setup will involve a hammock

Rain fly and bug net are essential though

i read bandanas as bananas

Both are necessary

yes

@Mr. Verboten post in <#673081851467792397>, will pin

stockpile bananas

My 'Get Home Bag' is this:

backpack vs slingbag, which is better for which?

backpack

military backpacks are kino and efficient

Depends on what you're doing. I've used both extensively. I use a sling bag when I need quick access to gear and/or want to stay fast and light.

sling bags are good for gear

backpacks are good for b.o.bs and stocking

anyways, have both at your disposal if you're going to bug out

I can swing the sling bag to the front for climbing through fences, climbing trees, hiding in ditches (exactly what I'll be doing while trying to 'get home'), all without taking it off.

yeah

are waterproof matches a good investment?

Always

alright

a 35L backpack?

military of course

I keep three forms of firestarting in my bag. If one goes down, you're still good. i keep waterproof matches, a lighter, and a firesteel.

firesteels are good

I'm going to buy my gear progressively

first clothing

I also keep a Maratac Peanut on my keychain

are camo clothing a good investment?

depends on your environtment

like a shirt, vest, trousers

I live near forests

they generally are if you're planning on bugging out

yeah? okay then

should I get survival blanket?

at least one I mean
