Carrying your gear - how often?

[bigpaul]

depends on where you are bugging out to WHB and why. may I respectfully suggest that with a diabetic wife and an 88 year old dad you probably have only one option and that is to bug IN, lay low and wait out the storm. maybe you should formulate your plans for this requirement instead. bugging out would only be an option for such as you if your home became unsafe through fire, flood or mob rule. just a thought.
