I realize it is ever changing and bags are designed for different things.... mine is set up to get me to my cabin 100 miles from my house where my family can sustain.

Mine is set up to accommodate my family in the event we need to leave the house quickly. Some people think creating this type of bag is crazy but if you were on I-59 getting out of Houston during Hurricane Rita you would agree why having something like this is important. Feel free to add suggestions, ideas etc. And as always pics are welcome!

These are the items in mine:
1. (4) emergency food rations - 2,400 calories each
2. 150 yards of 30 pound braided fishing line (Power Pro)
3. Prescription bottle with hooks, lure and weights and a box of extra triple hooks
4. First aid kid (I would like to upgrade this to a "Dark Angel" medical kit)
5. Compass
6. Spoon, fork, knife
7. Mirror
8. Note pad and pen
9. Latex gloves
10. Breathing masks
11. Duct tape
12. Bio hazard garbage bag
13. A lot of folded tin foil (it is under the garbage bag in the pic)
14. Bungy cords, zip ties and 100ft. of para-cord (I would like to get the para-cord in camo)
15. Fire starting kit with lighter and magnesium fire stick (kit = cotton balls and bottle of oil)
16. Water purifying tablets
17. Glow sticks (because I like to party...... just kidding)
18. 2 Magpul .223 mags (30 rounds each)
19. Pocket shovel and hatchet
20. 2 .40cal Glock mags (15 rounds each)
21. Glock .22 .40cal
22. 2 knives (just ordered the Benchmade Nimravus which will be added to the bag)
23. Camp light (I also have a green kill light on my AR-15 and another LA-LED light that I would carry). Not shown is the green pen laser.
24. Survival blankets and ponchos
25. Wet wipes
26. Stag w/ green kill light, 2 point sling, micro red dot and 2 double attached mags
27. 5.11 Tactical "Rush MOAB 10" bag

Keep in mind, this bag is designed to get me Attachment 9261out of Houston to a safe location. I also have two cases of water and an extra large gas tank I would throw in the truck (where I have more survival items).

This should be interesting.....

"A group of whistle-blowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago.

However, the six whistle-blowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down."

TWA Flight 800 investigators break silence in new documentary, claim original conclusion about cause of crash is wrong

Guantanamo detainees on hunger strike


More than 100 of the 166 prisoners still in Guantanamo are on a hunger strike; some of them have been striking for as long as five months. Nearly half of the hunger strikers are being "enterally fed," according to the military, which means military doctors snake tubing connected to a can of Ensure up their nostrils and down the backs of their throats. Many of the detainees consider this to be torture.

The Miami Herald reported that 46 of the 166 captives in Guantanamo have been classified as "indefinite detainees" by the Obama administration, which means the government considers them too dangerous to release or transfer but cannot try them in a court of law due to lack of evidence or other reasons. Eighty-six of the detainees have been cleared for release, but their transfer has been delayed.

Someone please enlighten me, but in the absence of that, I just don't get it. If they want to kill themselves, I say fine...the only reservation being that perhaps they haven't gotten their case heard in a reasonably due time. ]]> General Chat BENESSE http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?22903-What-s-the-problem-here something neat I found out today http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?22902-something-neat-I-found-out-today&goto=newpost Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:11:25 GMT You know those little solar walk way lights, they have 2 AAA ni cad rechargeable batteries inside them!!! not too bad 2 AAA rechargeable batteries...

Don't know why it struck me, but I was surprised at how simple it was to learn. Now I've just got to work on the speed a bit and since I'm not looking for a career with Wells Fargo I figure that will happen over time. Here's a website that has a free program which allows you to develop at your own pace.

...and another site which translates words into Morse code and vice versa. (I used the second translator to "practice" my code writing)
