Taking a weapon when you bug out?

[NorthernRaider]

Flipping good post, Kudos to you Paul that should get our community thinking a bit ( esp if they have busted their backs like moi)
My on foot bugging out kit would prolly involve a Compound Bow, 25 arrows, quiver, A pistol or carbine crossbow 20 bolts ( modified to Nemesis Spec) and my knife. Plus binos or spotting scope.

Wife and child both carrying compound bows, 25 arrows, quiver and large lock knives.

I blooming well would, It may not be exposed or openly carried to begin with but I would not Bug Out if TSHTF without the defensive / security element of my kit.
