I'm sure theres a practical system in place but i cant work it out, Can others help me make sense of her system?
Hi again, thanks for the feedback. I work from home 80% of the time so all the items are in reach most of the time except when I go out on site in the car (often anywhere in the country, even london yipes!!) when I will have the jacket (outdoor green type multiple pockets) , handbag and keyring as EDC and the BOB will be left at home. The latter all packs in a 10 litre rucksack which I am about to upgrade to 15 litres to take the tarp and some rope/bungees. I agree it is heavy but in an emergency I could easily carry it 5 miles or so. There are plently of old barns in remote places round here although most are accessible by 4 wheel drive. The firelighting is duplicated delibrately as if one fails I have a backup and it is bloody cold where I live even in summer. If I took the wind up radio out I would have more room/less weight. Thinking of adding an ultralight sleeping bag. Forgot to mention I already have a sleeping mat.
All my kit is dark muted colours not necessarily camo as I am not into orange bivy bags and whistles etc. To my mind, concealment/avoidance of other people would be a priority if TSHTF

Hi there the town is about 60,000 population a couple of miles away but my house is accessed off a minor road which would not be used as a mass exit route in the event of an emergency. My other concern is that my two neighbours have done no prepping whatsoever and it would be difficult to say no when they come knocking on my door with whining children having run out of food. Not sure how I would deal with the latter. Maybe give them a couple of tins?

As for ( who ever said don't recall) people not heading out to the country side looking for food I don't agree, it's in the local papers and msm almost every week, cows being slaughtered, skinned and boned out where there stand in the fields, pigs even swans being killed for food, allotments are being raided, if I was hungry the first thing I'd think of was all them farmers in the country side growing crops and keeping animals, plus anyone with half a brain would want to get as far away from the cities as they could.
Also a good use for bungees, is if you can secure fixtures? to attach the bungee to behind your front/back door, when kicked in it gives added protection, only a minute or to before they realise why the door won't go down but a minute or two could safe your life.
I guess that would be me PG(about people not heading out into the country) i think the places where you mentioned animals being killed, are probably near a big city that has a large immigrant population probably east european. most British(white) people dont have anything to do with the countryside-after all they might get their shoes dirty! and anyway most Brits under 40 dont know where their food comes from anyway(Duh! the supermarket?) and is far to concerned about their foreign holiday to ever go near a farm. in a major event most city people are going to sit still and wail! and wait for the govt to come and save them(that what its there for-right?)
I'm afraid it's the immigrant population I'm more worried about, some of these people are no better then Animals, they think nothing of raping young girls maiming their Children so they get more money out begging, driving round schools last year trying to pull kids in to vans, we all know where them kids were heading, the list is endless! fooking Animals! god help any one that crosses their path shtf, raped, beaten then eaten! they will sooner or later need to go food hunting further afield, and some of them are gona have big Guns and military training! no morals, no ethics, I need to move house lol, but no matter where you live I think it will only be a matter of time before some one comes calling.
that all depends where someone lives, in your area i would agree with you but in my area we are a long way from a city, in my case 30 and 40 miles(Devon only has 2 cities) and we've got Dartmoor in between them and us, i've got 5 or 6 BOL sussed(all unoccupied) so if it comes to it we can be out of here and go somewhere even more remote.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

They must be at least 60 litres each thats excellent, Question will you have to transport fuel for the horseys or do they forage?

They forage and willl eat anything from grass to weeds to heather etc but of course if snow of any depth is on the ground I would take a small supply of pony nuts but they still clear the snow away with their hooves to get at whats beneath. I even have liccle waterproof "jackets" for them. They can easily carry 6 or 7 stone each but the problem is the kit in the piccy is about £300 quid (special steel framed saddle under the bags to keep weight off their backs) imported from USA inc taxes etc but I am workng on a DIY version. They would need to be hobbled at night to prevent them wandering too far. To be honest I would only take one with me if TSHTF as they can be little buggers to manage if something frightens them. They also bite when it suits them!
Just discovered my rucksack containing my BOB doesn't fit my back cos the straps are too short!! I can't believe it as the bag was sold as military style but would only fit a kid!!
