Thanks HoneyBadger, that sounds exactly like something I want to do, yeah you are right I bet it really is cold and I would probably be best to ease into things, than to jump right into it.

Also, your get home bag should have some sort of shoulder strap - whether it be a backpack or some sort of satchel or dufflebag... carrying a bag in your hand for hours/miles is extremely limiting and annoying.

Thanks badger for the advice. honestly if we could set something up as a group for two nights first night you're on your own and dropped off at different location from each other and you have to meet up with a group some point during the second day if dont make the deadline you're on your own to meet at a second location on the third to discuss what worked and what you can do better. Although by the third day if you missed the meeting points I'm sure the last thing you'll want to do is talk to others about what you learned.

Yeah, my get home bag is an assault 3-day pack type thing, with a bedroll strapped to the bottom that contains a few shelter components.

hahahaha yeah, I just had the things I would normally have on me if I was driving around town (cell phone, wallet, knife, glock 19, and a few random things like a pen and an extra set of car keys) and my get-home-bag.


I don't have time to list all the contents right now, but this is my get home bag: http://www.lapolicegear.com/tabaoutbag.html It's not very big, but it can hold a lot of stuff. It has a shoulder strap, but I had unwisely taken the strap off to save space in my car... so I had to hand carry it around for a day while hiking. It probably weighs about 10-15 lbs.

That is a pretty cool contraption!

My Get home bag stays in my car at all times It does not have a whole lot in it... basically ability to purify water, carry water, start fire, makshift emergency shelter, and some quick food, a way to cut things, a wool shirt/hat gloves, few extra rounds (birdshot/.45 LC) for the Judge. I think it is about 20-ish pounds.


Along with 16 liters of water. :-D

Something like this would be a blast! I'm down if it was during grouse season :-) test out the judge! But I think it's also deer and elk season during grouse season :-(

Just to prove that I could, when I did the little excursion I talked about above, I caught a squirrel and ate it. I did a pretty crappy job of butchering it (I'd never cleaned a squirrel before and I just had a cheap/dull pocketknife), but it certainly killed my appetite.

I got the day off work because of the snow. If you want, I can post the contents of my get home bag.

I'd like to see it if you've got the time.
