My Emergency Kit

I chose this 3 day assault pack from LA Police Gear. It is very roomy and has lots of pockets and storage compartments. In this bag I have just about everything except for food and water. I do have a 3L Platypus water bladder that I keep in my bag.

In my kit, I have:

  1. 3 changes of underwear
  2. 2 t-shirts
  3. 3 pair of socks
  4. 1 pair of pants
  5. 1 pocket chain saw
  6. 1 pack of water proof matches
  7. 1 lighter
  8. 2 water filters
  9. 3 fuel sources
  10. 2 magnesium firestarters
  11. 1 roll of duct tape
  12. 1 roll of TP
  13. 1 4oz baby powder
  14. Spare Water bottle
  15. Snake Bite Kit
  16. Shampoo
  17. Body Wash
  18. Toothpaste
  19. Toothbrush
  20. Towel
  21. Hiking Shoes

My bag is purposely not filled to capacity because I will pack my EDC Gear and bag into the 72 Hour Kit. This will allow me to keep both bags and only carry one. It means that I will have 2 water bottles and the water bladder. That gives me one ‘dirty bottle’ for collecting water to be filtered. I will be able to carry 4 liters of clean water then. This gives me everything I need to manage a crisis situation while I am out and about. I still need to decide what food I should pack. Being gluten free complicates things. I have options, they are just different and I need to think about and plan that out.
