My get home bag is on the heavy side, I havent weighed it, but I am thinking in the 50 - 60 pound range without weapons ( I tip the scales at 250). My emphasis has been on fire, renewable water (filter and treatment tabs), some food plus food gathering (guns and ammo mostly) shelter and basic first aid. My needs are a little different in that I live in a very rural area, I work at a mobile job site that varies from 20 to 120 miles from the house. My bags sole purpose is to get me home. (the only scenerio that would put me walking home would be a EMP that took out most of the auto's. Anything else, I would drive or be able to catch a ride.) I need to be able to live out of this bag for 2 days - 2 weeks in all seasons. (100+ in the summer and as low as -30 in the winter). I am glad you brought up the subject, as it reminds me that I need to catalogue everything in my bag.

The "rube" artical pretty much layed out my plan, and why I carry a GHB. My neighbors and I, (nieghbor being a relative term, as my nearst neighbor is almost a mile away), while not having a formal plans already work together in many aspects, and have a large enough spread of skills and resources to band together into a very survivable communinty.
