the stevens iron sighted bolt rifle, a brick of 22, water, knife,firestarter mat'l, canned food, extra clothes. and GOOD SHOES.
i used to backpack yearly up the appalacian trail in the smokeys for my vacation, and 55lbs of stuff kept me very confey over a week~ i was younger then, but i could still walk out if need.....
now i think, if i had to stay put, get with the neighbors, organize, share, and wait on the nat'l guard......we have done this twice in the past 15yrs....ice storm once, and floods. both times, no power or water for days.....nobody in the area went w/o, nobody raped and looted.....cause we have decent farm folks, and EVERYONE has guns.....
the guard brought water, and generators..... i took oxygen tanks out, rigged gravity sets for my enteral patients.....but it shore was nice to get heated water again and take a shower instead of 'sponge baths"!
