But most walking poles are weak aluminium. I'd steer away from one as a weapon.
I'd say having less gear in a GHB would be wiser.
You only really need to get home. I have around 37 miles to trek to get home from work. A good pair of shoes and a bottle of water is plenty. Do I have loads of gear in my GHB? HELL NO!!!
I can trek 10 miles, then outrun 75% of people whom may decide to attack me. Could I do that carrying a heavier bag? Nope. Also, just because I plan to move quickly, if I decide to hide or go stealth, it's easier to do with a super low profile bag than a bigger chunky bag. Low profile and high speed is the plan, but capable of greater stealth is also an option.
A larger bag will give you more tools, but you're offsetting that with slower speed and smaller travel distance a day. If you're okay with that, fair does.
A GHB will be used in the first 24 to 36 hours of a major event. People will be too busy getting their heads together and figuring what's going on, instead of planning and putting up road blocks and start trapping other people for food. In the first 24-36 hours, you have time to shift. After that, you'll need to be more concealed and stealthy.
Slightly off topic, but yes it always amazes me on some 'other' sites when people start listing the contents of and showing pictures of their EDC - how on earth they take that with them everyday, everywhere they go is beyond me!
