My GHB (With pics)

[Purkeypilot]

More condoms. Just kidding, I agree with adding (or putting back) a multi-tool, a hydration pack, a tarp, and 550 cord rather than rope. I would also forget about the shotgun and add a couple more magazines for the Glock Deuce Deuce. Forget the change of cloths, and for a short term bag, I would get rid of the stove weight and add some type of single wall cup that you can boil water in over a fire that you make with your fire starting gear.

Honestly though, I think it's a good overall list, and a really cool thread

After more thought, I do need to streamline and lighten up my pack a bit. I just don't like giving up the things that make me comfortable. .

Does that mean you will keep that special little "Blankey"?

Remember every water filter cannot remove viruses especially a lifestraw. I'd saay ditch those mres and get a mayday 3600 calories bar. Its not bulky like a mre it can withstand hot or cold tempature , it has alot of vitamins , it taste better and you'll save some space and some weight and it last longer than a mre. 3600 calorirs will last 3 days of food = 1200 calories a day is enough but no sadisfaction.

Man, i hate to disagree with you but have you ever actually tasted those mayday bars? To say they are better than an MRE is crazy! They taste like a block of lightly flavored wax. You can usually add some salt and pepper to an MRE and make them pretty good. I have eaten quite a few MRE's in my few days on the earth adn have found them to be pretty good. I eat them at work for lunch when they are about to "Expire"
