Posting gets your stars.

So what do you think of my BOB? Do you like it. Alas, no guns, as I happen to be 17 and live in the UK. I dunno, I plan to get an air rifle, so I could sit in a tree and pellet Feral Ghouls to death after the Apocalypse. Also, don't have that much food. But... since well, I live near a chemical plant I hope all I need to do is run away and go North.

[King of the Wastes]

Get a bow or crossbow, something that is reusable. Now since your in Britain and all you need to be able to hide ANY weapon you are gonna have. Also see if your parents will let you learn to shoot. The more experience you have the better.

[kirilmd]

I already know how to shoot, I go to a rifle club, it's mainly just .22's but I did use a .303 Enfield quite recently.

I'm good at hiding stuff and I think I know WHERE to get a gun. But HOW is another question.

So far

US Molle II ruck with attachment med packs and sustenance packs (my medic bag was stolen in mexico)

US acu camelpack (hydration)

level 5 all weather rain/wind breaker (the level 2s for long sleeve shirt and long johns are both comfortable and easy to maintain (bu they tear) a good woold alpaca sweater is a great addition for thewinter, as well as something like a MEC zipuphoody(itcan be unzipped to let heat out) note also mec hiking pants(rainpants)--- the poncho isn't rain protectin for me but rain protection for th pack since the wind/rain outer and the mec wet pants are both water shielding - the poncho also is a shelter maker, or internal /external shell for a wood selter(chem suit, and gas mask (note the gas mask without a canister can still be used as a face shield and eye protectionin the woods (chinesmodels are not glass eye slots), I went with the Chinese as they are cheap and use standard attachment most new US/british issuesare not easy to come by the filters for just yet...) oh and those condor wraps are really good in winter, wind ad dusty conditions. in winter theyare almost as good as a balaclava. - cheap fuel handlers gloves the helmet and vest, are more for getting out of urban areas, once in the woods stashing the body armour for mobility may be something to decide on, gas mask and canisters
roadside first aid kit (alchohol and iodine wet cloths,bandaidetc..)
cold/flu meds (most are gone now)

(I think trading up the first aid pack with a reflective small metal alchohol flask (made of silver, and high proof alchohol will be my eventual switch up along with a jar of honey, and ionized silver)
crossbow with hunt heads (crossbows can apparently penetrate some body armor (but not plate) and you can hunt with it, more of a close range deterent. (also not noisy to attract attention like a loudgunshot(plus ears..), and it can be attached with a grapple bolt for climbing help..)
(I want to pick up a 12 gauge and 30-06, and 303 british - I really like how it feels to use)

-sharp knife
-machete(this I'm not to convinced on as it seems tobe getting way to damaged in use, don't go for a cheap mass produced version you need to get a good one)
in its place a Planner (these are good for cutting and breaking up wood and working wood and chopping other stuff too)\\

Hardtack (olive oil, coffee, sugar, salt multivitamin, protein powder)
poncho (for rain)
biovac/bivvy
UHF/VHF/fm radio (just a uv5r relatively low cost and has a low powerd flashlight - a flashlight with strobe could be useful too.
Personally travelling light is an ideal
mosquito/fish netting
0.02 micron filter

Overall traveling light I better since you can use mud and leaves for wound binding, grass can be made into rope etc.. having a sharp knife (ex. an obsidian blade, and something to cut wood with, and some food supply and watersupply, with a water filterit goes a long way

oh and clothes for the season, I am a fan of the ECWS as I find it is easy to wash up.. for me the cold wet combat boot is good since I'm up in Canada, while I am not a fan of the US army socks as they rip really easy, and have fund that outdoors socks/skiingsocks have better materal survival, if you have the US military socks learn to sew and bring a sewing kit. Having changes of socks goes a long way in foot comfort, having blister prevention stff is also a go.



note: while body armour can fit into the molle II it takes up a lot of space, and for a long hike it can be weighty.. a full police level4 can fit into the packalong with a 3A helmet, you want a helmet that can be used for climbin and for motorized stuff if you can... fully body armour is very bulky. having the camo is likely a muchbetter go, while ACU might be ok, I actually think that multicam digital pats are better for woodland environments most of us seem to be keen on, match your camo to your environment and local laws.



Also throw in some garbage bags they can be used to float stuff, or increase boyancy you can put lighters inside airsealed baggys for water protection, I'm not a fan of matches, lighters also have spark ability

for colder climates, the US modular sleeping bag kit is good, the compression sack is also nice as a day pack


I plan on hiking with the edition of my laptop, and a gsp system and SDR radio receiver this summer. I'd like to pick up solar charger that will charge a laptop without an inverter but I don't think I will find any luck, something light batteries are too heavy to carry so the laptop use will generally only be for emergency locating and reception of radio -wire for antenna


engineeringcompass.. having some plastic containers tupperware that other stuff can fit into like clothes or other stuff you want dry is good plus you can use them to hold collected stuff rain still etc..

if you can bear the weight, some paracord or pararope... for climbing hanging stuff, trapline, and making rafts out of fallen trees/branchesects or shelter support
\

oh and cellphone that can play mp3s.. essential... (during hostile situations consider just mp3 player... during friendly situations even cell can be use to dial 911 service , having cell communications potential can be helpful though even if waiting to activate the phone.. during an actual emergency situation though all communication lines may be eaten up. for myself being in a realtively remote area, my uhf/vhf would likely still be ok


other stuff to add, chemical analyzer and a gieger counter.
