So i'm gonna be training with the local militia. How should my loadout change?
I'm thinking dump cellphone stuff in favor of a two way radio. Dump any packaged foods that require prepping/cooking in favor of ready to eat foods. Dump fuel cannisters in favor of fire building. Dump tent in favor of a poncho? Not sure of this lol. Dump fishing kit and 22lr stuff. Dump heavy water purifiers in favor of survival straw and boiling. Dump solar charger for more batteries or using a battery resupply cache. Add more ammo, WROL breaking/entering tools like pistol grip short pump shotgun, wire cutters, pry bar. Im a newb on this so Any thoughts are appreciated |

Dump any packaged foods that require prepping/cooking in favor of ready to eat foods. Stock up on MREs. They've come along way in taste and menu choices. Dump fuel cannisters in favor of fire building. Just get a Bic. If it can't light it, it doesn't need to burn.. Dump tent in favor of a poncho? Not sure of this lol. Anyone who needs more than a tarp, poncho and woobie for anything less than the artic is a wimp. Dump solar charger for more batteries or using a battery resupply cache. I'd opt for Lead Acid Batteries. More amp hours when you need them. Add more ammo, WROL breaking/entering tools like pistol grip short pump shotgun, wire cutters, pry bar. Get the Mossberg breaching shotgun, it's all you need Im a newb on this so Any thoughts are appreciated My thoughts in red. |
