The Christmas blizzard we had last week really got me to thinking about this again. May take some gift money and build up my stock.
That's quite a large index to peruse. Is there a specific area to hit first?Some pretty good info here also Tim. Outdoors - AR15.COM
Battery operated boyfriend?
If only I could train mine to take out the trash.
I could play the ban game instead, if you like.Tim, are you playing "the bump game"?
I was going to add some more info about some of the stuff in there, but I forgot.
The flashlight is a 3xAAA coleman extreme, with a lumen rating at 120 and a burn time of 4 hours. I chose the AAA version over the C123 due to battery availability. You can find AAA's at any gas station, store, etc. Unlike c123, which is usually a camera battery. I do have a very bright fenix light that uses those batteries, I carry it daily.
The ruger was the first handgun I purchased as an adult. I bought it cheap at a garage sale. I rarely shoot it any more, but I have thousands of round through it. The 3 magazines total 40 rounds. I have a feeling that is too many, but its a little extra weight for alot of peace of mind.
I do not include this in my bag when I am at work or traveling. After I had my car stolen a few years ago, I do not keep anything of value in it. Plus, I usually have my CCW on me. Which would cause some heavy redundancy.
The first aid kit basically has coban, ace bandages, abd pads, 4x4's, gloves, flashlight, hand sanitizer.
The only meds I have are, benadryl, ibuprofen, tylenol, immodium.
The first aid kit is very basic, IMO it will handle the majority of accidents/emergencies. I do have the knowledge and experience/ability to perform basic and advanced medical care.
I just realized that I do not have a cpr face shield.
The candles were put into the pack, In the event that I was stranded in my car. In the freak event that it actually snows more than 2" of slush.
I choose a tarp over a tent due to cost, and the availability of trees in my area. I can lash together a small shelter fairly quick. and pile up branches to keep my body off the ground.
I do have some chem light sticks in my first aid kit. Aside from providing battery free light. They can also be used to signal. Tie a light stick to a string and spin it around. It can be seen for a fairly long distance at night.
The hotpacks were added in the event that I could not light a fire. Place 1 in each armpit, and some on the groin. It will keep you alive through a cold night. They put out heat for 8 hours. Although its pretty weak after 4 hours.
I could play the ban game instead, if you like.
Keeping relevant content in one nice, tidy place.
40 rounds considered too much??
Hmmmmm.
