Yeah, I live in oregon out in the country.
I always carry it, never know when I'm gonna break down or get stuck or injured or someone else ya know.
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
The weather here changes so much and its such a diverse landscape. The only time you dont have extra clothing is mid summer.
Or good. Depending on your point of view
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.
I've been looking into doing that
And a bugout/camping trailer
You can go 20 miles a day on foot, or 1,000 miles a day in a car.
Just to haul tents and supplies and shit
Yup. I see it as a more sustainable prepping system
For long term GOOD scenarios
GOOD = Get Out Of Dodge.
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
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.
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.
Theres a reason I live in missouri. Used to live in Utah.
Utah is fun and all but it really lacks wild edible plants.
I dont remember the manual codes. Been out since 2009
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)
And everyone is a farmer around here so there is livestock and gardens to pilfer from if need be
Boxer and snapper turtles are edible, but Id space them out. Turtles can eat really toxic stuff.
Plenty of bullfrogs for frog legs, rabbits, coons, possums, etc.
Every river has catfish too.
So much food its incredible
In utah its sagebrush as far as the eye can see. Very few rivers. And jackrabbits that have parasites and rocky mountain fever.
Mercury is a problem...
Yup. They are a winter game. Oh and the turkeys around here are nuts. They are everywhere. And deer too. Never seen so many
Added to my cart, lol.
I miss the scouts. I really do.
Best time of my life.
One of the best
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....
Same man went through all three myself
Even earned eagle but now the organization is just really bad
As a scout I can say thes is somewhat accurate we still go on hikes and stuff but other than that
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>
It's sad though.
