@TrapaholicJones Hearing protection, water filter, maybe a local map and maybe another mag would be my recommendation... what's your weight at? 30 lbs-ish, looks like.

Having a folder for city stuff is nice too. I'd probably only have one large fixed for weight.

@TrapaholicJones why do you have a loaded ar mag when you didn't list an AR?

Its implied

@Luke14 cause smart people don't list their ARs online.

I'm from New Zealand and want to know what kind of weapon i can use instead of an AR because we are not allowed them. Any suggestions?

I wish I'd decided to prep before everything got this crazy.

I could possibly convince my brother to organize stuff but I don't know if he'd believe me (he's a Trump supporter, but I don't get along with him well).

@Luke14 I don't know what's legal where you are, or the specifics of the laws you have to deal with. However, in short, anything that is legal and you are comfortable using is better than nothing. Anything illegal and or you are NOT comfortable using is worse than nothing.

@Equalibrium good idea on hearing protection and i have a local map in my other bag in car just forgot about it in there, also have big 50 state map in car, i might shed that second fixed since i added the morakniv after it good idea cause im pushin closer to 40 lbs. and i actually made a bug out ammo box seperate so thats why only 1 in b.o.b. to save weight

up close knives can be deadlier than guns luke

What TrapaholicJones says is true, but:

Knife fighting is not a joke, and I do not recommend it to anyone who doesn't have the training required to do it safely.

Firearms are simple point and click adventures. Knives are high-speed chess, with less forgiving results.

Any tips on that and my current dilemma?

@SPRTNWRRYR1974 5 years plus of actuall hand to hand combat training for knive use in self-defense + knowledge of applicable laws.

Food stuffs, buy you a dehydrator and canner on amazon or elsewhere online.
Websearch on how to do it, and start preserving.

Where can I get said training?

will drop some links for food stuffs in a moment

You think I can pull it all before Tuesday? Also, if you suggest weapons, I am in a college dorm, so those are somewhat hard to access and conceal.

I don't know where you might find some, mine is from military personel (I was not a service member but I did recieve training), and personal contacts etc. It's know you know locally for that. Look up veteran owned gyms and studios and ask around there.

Food prep takes time, about a week. You may be SOL for that being ready by Tuesday, but the knowledge and equipment could be invaluable.

I have food in one dresser drawer and some in a mini-fridge.

What is SOL?

Sh*t Out of Luck

Ok

The stuff in the fridge is what you want to preserve

You might be able to do the mini-fridge and have things saved if power goes out for an extended period.

buddy if ur plan is to prep for tuesday youre way behind

Agreed.

That's just some oranges, bread treats, and some cheese sticks. I have access to food from dining courts, and I have a case of water and several energy drinks.

I know.

Alrighty then Spooky

i feel like i need more preps and i been prepping for 10 years

I'm screwed, aren't I?

Go by dry food goods... Instant Noodles

etc

I am close to home, so I can go there if needed.

Good plan, but you may not be able to walk there safely

It's about 70 miles away.

Over the plains of Central Indiana.

How fit are you?
