My system.
Five layers:
1st layer) Bug out clothes: Second hand woodland-camo trousers and jacket, with a bag full of trail mix, a "food for free" book, a camo head net, in the pockets. And a survival necklace with: swiss army knife, flint and steel, duct tape, a few aspirin and a tenner in one tin, and water purification in the other tin, and a whistle/compass/whistle/mirror/ that has tinder and a few matches inside, all on a paracord necklace.
2nd layer) Snugpak response pak with standard stuff, eg. knife, saw, tarp sheet, others.
3rd layer) I have a 50l backpack from mil-tec, with the normal gear (one of these days i will post it fully on here).
4th layer) A cargo bag with the stuff that has been replaced from the main B.O.B, eg. old knives etc. More food, water, clothes. This layer is more meant for multi-seasons as it has different clothes, and will mainly be used if travelling in a car when the SHTF.
Questions:
I have in the 3rd layer, eg. BOB, a rain suit made of an old thin waterproof coat and water proof trousers vacuum packed (with a straw lol). Should I leave the house in the camo clothes so I am camo'd up fully, but have to take the waterproof coat in the rain suit. Or should I leave the house in a decent waterproof coat, which is olive green so is kind of camo'd, and means I save space because I do not have to bring the coat in the rain suit.
Is the cold steel SF shovel, or Marbles Devil's Tail Shovel, good enough to replace a nice hatchet in a BOB?
Cheers gang.
