Peace!

I think I changed my mind. I'm not going to stay home, but I'll make sure I'm prepared to leave at a moment's notice.

I'm not in a major city, but I'm still staying out of town for awhile after the election. One of the few nice parts of having been sent to work from home because of Covid, means I could head for the lakes for a bit.

@Equalibrium basically anything is legal if you deem it legal to use (thats what the crimes act says for self defense) basically we have similar self defense and gun laws to California.

@Luke14 Using in self defense and owning are not legally the same thing. Advising to purchase something without knowing or considering their local laws and regulations is, in layman's terms, not being a good friend.

What is that squirrel tail doing

And why a hatchet and a mechete

Machete

Well i imagine the hatchet would be used to cut trees and make firewood, the squirrel thing is a decoration, and the machete idk

Got my tools prepped. Just gotta pack a survival bag in case I need to get outta dodge if Lafayette goes nuts.

Tomohawk is ultimate tool

If you want a good hawk look at two hawks

$200 for a hand forged polled hawk and belt loop+sheath

Yo i've decided I want to prep my backpack in case shit goes wild here- we live in a super liberal place

Any tips?

You'll need at least one knife. Preferably a pocket sized and a machete but if you need to settle for just one go for a bowie.

You'll need a first aid kit

Basic works as long as it is up to date.

Fire starter

Mess kit

Honestly a couple of MREs wouldn't hurt

Ammo if you own any

Some water bottles

Flashlight, headlamp, and a lamp. I would say all 3 are pretty necessary but if you can only have one I'd choose a headlamp so that you can multitask.

Extra batteries for your light apparatus

Matches

Tarp

Whistle?

An extra change of clothes just in case

Perhaps an emergency mylar blanket

Yeah those are the basics. Also some basic hygeine stuffs would be good

@Swizzle any tips in specific you're looking for?

Honestly i want to know how to pack well

like i dont want my backpack to be super heavy so that i waste energy lugging it around

I see... How big is the backpack?

It's like a standard school backpack

So 4 pockets maybe?
