Yeah, I live in oregon out in the country.

2020-07-09 00:28:20 UTC  

I always carry it, never know when I'm gonna break down or get stuck or injured or someone else ya know.

2020-07-09 00:31:55 UTC  

I dont have a change of clothes in my bag. But I live in Oregon... we all carry extra clothes either on us or with us. Every day. Lol

2020-07-09 00:33:03 UTC  

The weather here changes so much and its such a diverse landscape. The only time you dont have extra clothing is mid summer.

2020-07-09 00:37:21 UTC  

Or good. Depending on your point of view

2020-07-09 00:37:41 UTC  

I have since dismantled my bug out bag. I have a bug out vehicle. I chose a minivan. Took a hint from the van dwellers and realized that I can have all the modern commodities minus a bathroom and be able to move it anywhere in the country, in the matter of hours. 30mpg allows for 500 miles on one tank. Loaded with all my gear, I can pack 1,000 pounds of extras.

2020-07-09 00:38:01 UTC  

I've been looking into doing that

2020-07-09 00:38:21 UTC  

And a bugout/camping trailer

2020-07-09 00:38:32 UTC  

You can go 20 miles a day on foot, or 1,000 miles a day in a car.

2020-07-09 00:38:34 UTC  

Just to haul tents and supplies and shit

2020-07-09 00:38:54 UTC  

Yup. I see it as a more sustainable prepping system

2020-07-09 00:39:11 UTC  

For long term GOOD scenarios

2020-07-09 00:39:28 UTC  

GOOD = Get Out Of Dodge.

2020-07-09 00:40:48 UTC  

My diesel heater is in my cart along with 2 200 watt solar panels, 2 100ah batteries, a solar charger, a fridge with freezer, microwave, etc. Im decking this puppy out

Picts!@Ironman

2020-07-09 00:47:39 UTC  

Ill be posting a build log. Trust me.

@Deleted User Inside the van is my TA50. At any point I can dismount and deploy. Mormon style.

2020-07-09 00:49:05 UTC  

Been hunting, camping, and fishing since I was old enough to walk. My dad taught me everything from snare traps to how to cook fish over an open fire.

2020-07-09 00:51:22 UTC  

Theres a reason I live in missouri. Used to live in Utah.

2020-07-09 00:51:53 UTC  

Utah is fun and all but it really lacks wild edible plants.

2020-07-09 00:52:26 UTC  

I dont remember the manual codes. Been out since 2009

2020-07-09 00:54:27 UTC  

This is the perfect place. Wild blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, etc. Mushrooms everywhere (just go for morels, hen of the woods, and oysters, easy to identify and almost no poisonous lookalikes)

2020-07-09 00:55:29 UTC  

And everyone is a farmer around here so there is livestock and gardens to pilfer from if need be

2020-07-09 00:56:39 UTC  

Boxer and snapper turtles are edible, but Id space them out. Turtles can eat really toxic stuff.

2020-07-09 00:56:56 UTC  

Plenty of bullfrogs for frog legs, rabbits, coons, possums, etc.

2020-07-09 00:57:17 UTC  

Every river has catfish too.

2020-07-09 00:57:26 UTC  

So much food its incredible

2020-07-09 00:58:09 UTC  

In utah its sagebrush as far as the eye can see. Very few rivers. And jackrabbits that have parasites and rocky mountain fever.

2020-07-09 00:58:28 UTC  

Mercury is a problem...

2020-07-09 00:59:19 UTC  

Yup. They are a winter game. Oh and the turkeys around here are nuts. They are everywhere. And deer too. Never seen so many

2020-07-09 01:02:05 UTC  

Added to my cart, lol.

2020-07-09 01:05:26 UTC  

I miss the scouts. I really do.

2020-07-09 01:05:33 UTC  

Best time of my life.

2020-07-09 01:05:39 UTC  

One of the best

2020-07-09 01:10:51 UTC  

The scouts slowly became pussified over the years. Camping trips went from wilderness hikes to someone's backyard to at the local church. I was there during all 3 phases. Its sad. Now boys arent boys, girls arent girls, and meat isnt meat....

2020-07-09 01:12:05 UTC  

Same man went through all three myself

2020-07-09 01:12:34 UTC  

Even earned eagle but now the organization is just really bad

2020-07-09 05:35:37 UTC  

As a scout I can say thes is somewhat accurate we still go on hikes and stuff but other than that

2020-07-09 06:34:43 UTC  

Eagle Scout as of January this year. Scouting has taught me many things but with the direction they've gone I can't support them anymore. Neither could my church which is one of the reasons they're failing so bad <:KEK:726877368601411624>

2020-07-09 06:35:00 UTC  

It's sad though.

2020-07-09 15:26:56 UTC
