Five or six 30rd mags.
What is the reason for Extra supplies? I assume if is based on the possibility of some sort of anarchy breaking out and needing to defend yourself more than one time on the way back home. Just curious how everyone rationalizes each of their unique decisions.
Better to have and not need, than to need and not have. Especially when far from home. Rifle or few extra supplys take up very little space and can maybe save your familys life's in an emergency.
I live at 9,000ft 50 miles from work. If I need to abandon my car downtown; I don't want to hike home with just the clothes on my back and an LCP. I have everything for a 3 day trip home if needed.Quote:

We leave town. Our train of thought is Expect the Unexpected.

I'm glad I haven't had to use my gun at all except at the range. If I need an extra box over and above 2 spare mags ... I probably shouldn't even have left the house ...
what ever fits in the truck or van , goes. But yes there are limits. One approaches it asQuote:
