Place to practice primitive skills

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.

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
