For my Bug Out on foot survival kit I use a Blackhawk S.O.F. Ruck and a Blackhawk Saw Gunner rig for my LBE.

S.O F. Ruck. Brand new, ordered it last week..The ruck is plenty big enough to carry what you like and it has plenty of spare room for foraged and scavanged items that you may gather along the way on your journey. It fits onto a standard ALICE frame. The huge side pouches are removable as well. Its now packed with everything id need to leave home on foot for the exception of my NBC mask. Its even packed with winter kit in the event I maybe out there for some time..









SAW Rig. Quite old and salty and extensively modified from its original configuration...The SAW Rig makes a GREAT carry all for the survivalist on foot with its huge roomy pouches. Only problem I had with it was the velcro but I solved that problem with some duct tape..I was able to divide the pouches up for ammo mags, admin/navagation, a removable emergency PEESK (Personal Escape and Evasion Survival Kit), Kbar with removable sheath and a LRRP buttpack and two canteen for living out of if I so desired or had to. It too has lots of spare room for foraging and scavanging storage.

Bug out kits are a key tool, i have mine in a black jump bag ready to go.... not exactly foot worthy (working on that part) but i also have it near my crate of MREs.

just a question S.E.R.E what kind of self sufficiency tools to you carry with you.

my self sufficiency set-up:
10 feet of fishing line
5 fishing hooks
1 20 inch Hatchet
2 Flint sets
20 feet of reinforce nylon sting (for bow making)

If you guys could post what you have in those kits, that would be great as I am probably going to make my own pretty soon.

OK..here goes..Ruck sack first:

Very top pouch: DPM Rucksack Rain Cover
Ruck Lid: Exta giant ziplock bags, maps an d USAF Flight Crew Survival Manual
Large Pouch Left: Complete change of clothes (extra set of DPM BDUs, 4 socks, 3 Tshirts, underwears)
Large Pouch Right: Complete British DPM Gortex rain suit
Main cell, from top to bottom:
DPM Field Jacket w/ liner
NBC Mask
Thermarest Matress
Poncho Liner
Gortex Sleepsack Cover
Swiss Mountian Sleep Sack
Top Pouch far left: Crusader cooking kit and eating gear
Top Pouch Center: Everyday survival sustainment items (fishing kit, snares etc etc )
Top Pouch Far Right: Personal Admin (shaving, sewing, tooth brush Etc etc)
Lower Outside Pouch Right: Bungee Cords
Lower Outsdie Pouch Center: DPM Basha (tarp like shelter)
Lower Outside Pouch Left: Nothing

x2 Us Canteen attached to xterior..

Very bottom pouch: Glock Etool

There are various other small items to numorous to mention I omited from the list..

SERE is that a BHI ISSAK? My god I love them I just sold mine about 6 months back. A+ on the choice in my mind

I'm still working on a small bag for my trunk. The one I'm thinking of is a small tool bag (inconspicuous).

• waterproof matches and firestarters in a waterproof bag
• Ka-Bar 7"
• Spool of twine, string, or paracord
• small pair of 10x25 binoculars
• small first-aid kit

I still have plenty of room, so I will probably add more. I am considering adding the following:

• compass (definitely)
• small handgun
• small bottle of liquor (painkiller)
• flare
• flashlight
• small radio
• small quantity of silver rounds

The flashlight I'm kind of iffy on. In some situations it makes sense. However, if I did have one, I might be tempted to use when I shouldn't. If you're in a hostile area the last thing you want to do is draw attention to yourself. At night, turning on a light that could be seen for miles is a good way to draw that attention. In fact, make a note everyone. If you're ever in such a situation, where you have to lead a group to safety in a hostile area. First you do is confiscate the flashlights. Otherwise you'll have people turning them on when you're trying to hide, kids shining them in people's eyes, and the whole time, you'll be killing the night vision you should be working hard to develop.

Liquor, maybe. Biggest problem I see is that alcohol thins the blood. With a fresh bullet wound or knife wound, that would make things worse. For prolonged pain, it could be an asset. I'm no doctor, but it seems like a decent idea.

Flare. I know nothing about these. Don't know if they expire, what kind I would buy, or anything. Just a thought.

Silver. For trading for food, etc, should the situation call for it.

The handgun is an ongoing debate. It's legal for me to carry in my trunk most places, so little problem there. Caliber is a consideration. .22lr would make sense, as it would be easy to carry an extra 250 rounds w/o adding too much extra bulk/weight. Try carrying 250rds of .45 or 9mm in a small bag. A Walther P22 with suppressor (legal) would be perfect. Compact, quiet, usable.

JASTER, YES it is..its a GREAT GREAT survival platform..Mine is slightly modified as you can see..I chose the SAW version for the huge pockets.

Love the ISSAK Rig, I really wish I didnt have to sell mine but I needed the cash I had the SAW rig as well a great system....I'm actually going to get their MOLLE platform in the same cut its around $100 and is the same cut as the ISSAK but with MOLLE/PALS webbing instead of built in pouches and the back has webbing for hydro carriers. Awesome choice though I love it!

Here is our solo vehicle GHB. It is a Eddie Bauer diaper bag/backpack. It is fairly sturdy, made from cordura, lots of pockets and ealastic band organizers inside. We chose this bag because it low key and will not be raising any eyebrows in an urban enviroment and it was laying around collecting dust, so we decided to put it to good use.

pbking37,

Here is a link to the step-by-step conversion instructions:

Here is a link to Dinzag's site where I purchased the bullet guide kit:
http://www.dinzagarms.com/saiga_762x39/saiga_762x39.html
(Dinzag specializes in parts for saiga conversions and offers tool rentals as well)

Purchased Ergo grip and Kobra sight from here:
http://www.onesourcetactical.com/index.asp...&ProdID=669
http://www.onesourcetactical.com/index.asp...&ProdID=620

This is the buttstock I used:
http://www.galatiinternational.com/Merchan...Code=TASTK06101

Sling is from an old gas mask pouch I had laying around that I removed the metal attachment clips from and used 550 cord to attach it to the rifle instead.

I had a few laying around already but here is a link to the grip nut and screw for a standard pistol grip(you'll need a shorter screw for the ergo grip):

Chest rig (loaner/handout rig)I purchased from here( little FYI, guy in the ad is wearing it incorrectly):

All i think i need to get now is some sort of radio. If you can think of anything else tell me. Sorry for no pictures.

All I can think of is mabey a hatchet...?

He did say that he had a folding axe....

anybody know where i can get a reasonable size radio to communicate to people. My plan is to run into the mountains in my area is something goes on. The only way they will get me out would be with artillary or air support. No tank would be able to get up, and no infantry company would be able to get to where i plan to stay. I plan on getting a seperate bag to keep water and food in so i can stay up there a long time until i have to go for animals.

My bad, I only read folding shovel...Well here in Florida you would need some sun bock lotion, otherwise you will be walking around with a sunburn...and you could also get a collapsable fishing pole, they work pretty well and are really easy to carry when callapsed.

yeah thats a good idea, and some bug spray since ill be in the wild.

Well, you could get rid of the bugspray and the lantern and get a propane lantern that repels bugs...just a suggestion, though then you would need to carry a small propane tank and you may still get bit by bugs if you go somewhere far from the propane lantern.

If you do have a spot planned out that's your bug out hole, you could always pre-stock it. If you do decide lantern with propane put a couple of the small tanks up there and bury 4 feet down. Set up a little cache of supplies that just in case SHTF when you dont have your bag you can run there and be set for a bit before having to go out and get more.

Zippo with no extra fuel? Fuel evaporates in zippos only after a week or so even in storage. A first aid kit would be good too

No kidding... I cannot believe I didnt think of a first aid kit to recomend...mabey some hand sanitieser too, though that may fall under "Personall Hygine Stuff".

To answer your question about the radio that no one answered : http://www.discounttwo-wayradio.com/handhe...CFQYdswod6AYtig I dont know how long range they would be but there is a huge selection.

I dont know if you plan on taking a firearm with you, but if you did, then I would recommend extra ammo.

Im under 18 right now so i dont have a gun yet

You have all that stuff (including NVG's and thermals) and you're not even 18? I wish I had your parents!

What I carry in my BOB which is a medium size messenger bag is the following:

-OQO palmtop computer with DC power cord and spare battery (contains important documents and entertainment/communications potential)
-Weather resistant notepad
-Grease pencil
-Ballpoint pen
-Standard #2 pencil
-Sharpie marker
-3 yards of duct tape sans donut
-Roll of electrical tape
-1 Box Ball point 9mm ammo (50 rds)
-1 Box JHP 9mm ammo (50 rds)
-2 boxes 00 Buck shotgun shells (10rds total)
-1 box .22LR ammo (50rds)
-Small 7X monocular
-Flashlight with red/green as well as normal white capability and a spare 12-pack of batteries for it
-Large and small bic lighter and set of weather resistant matches

My sidearm is on my hip at all times, minus sleeping/showering. And the long guns are slinged onto my back whichever would be easier to get to at the moment. I am a true believer in that your sidearm is used to fight back to your long gun. And all that stuff might weigh me down an extra 20 lbs or so. The bulkier items are in my truck which include:

-Large first aid kit with OTC medication and insect repellant
-Space blankets (4)
-Folding shovel
-Rope/tow kit (including spare wheel/tire)
-Spare 5 Gallon gas tank

I have a job so if i can afford it i can just go and buy it. My parents once said if i can afford it i can buy it, if its appropriate.

It's useless for me right now as I live in an area where there is nowhere to run but this is probibly the best list I have seen in a long time. Quite a complete list and a good one at that.

Well to be honest, I don't have one...but I would like to buy one premade, to save much time, and etc. Could someone help me by posting link(s) for some nice ones, as I don't know a lot about the necessary equipment.Thanks, Hayden.

Anyone, not only do I not have the nessasery cash to make the kit, but I don't have experience with large kits, I'm used to going with little resources.

Your BOB lists actually have been a lot of help for me, and I'll be posting a list of my own supplies as soon as our internet connection is stable. I'd love to have feedback and further suggestions when I can get that up.

Well (since no one answered this directly before), you can find large portions of a bug out kit that all come together at www.cheaperthandirt.com there are quite a bit of things that you could sqeeze into your future bugout kit to make it worth the money, sadly, some of it may be a little bit expensive for you now. But I hope it helps a little, just model yours after everyone elses and then make your own personal preferances on name brands, quantities, ect...

www.cheaperthAndirt.com sorry Sarge just a lil typo there.

Wow, thanks, that is usually my job lol. I was up late and tired waiting for Admin to finish his announcement. Thanks nostrings.
