Thanks! Hard earned money and limited space/weight.

This build is going to be my large kit, if my truck still works (zombie apocalypse, flood, etc) where I would need to leave home, It will be heavier than a backpack, but easy for two of us to grab and throw in the back of the pickup and go.

Once I get it built, I will work on the smaller bags for the kiddos and the two adults. I plan to have them compliment each other in a nested sort of way. So if I need to double up on things it will only be extremely useful items or items prome to being used up in a long-term situation. (Ammo, firestarters, food, water purification supplies, etc.) There are many pages on this section and all of them are really good reads. (I've already started reading 'one second after' lol)

Is there a core set of items that are a must have where I can start my research while I sort through the 9+ pages of threads in this section of the board?
