SHTF scenario what do you have in your truck or car to make it home to loved one's.

That "high-capacity clip" has caused me to wet my pan'nies. That e-e-e-vil bayonet lug ain't helpin' much, either...

You really need to get this pantie pissing thing under control, as it seems to be getting a bit out of hand.

There are plenty of incontinence products available if needed.

Perhaps you could join Urinators Anonymous for support.

In Nevada that is a normal capacity "clip", and a knife on the end of a gun barrel isn't scary. Wake up from your California Dream'in.

This isn't necessarily for SHTF, more hitting jeep trails but you never know...and I'm sure I've forgotten something.

Water for 3 days, granola bars, jerkey, tin mugs and pan, toilet paper, shop rags, 12x12 tarp, braided cord, toilet paper soaked in kerosene in a coffee can sealed in a ziplock, two wool blankets, 2 extra knives and a hatchet, tree saw, flint and striker, change of dry clothing for both of us, waterproof jacket and pants for both, flash lights, flexible solar panel, 2 GMRS comms, RIVER 3 power station, portable air compressor, fire extinguisher.

My trauma backpack (minor to moderate injuries), 100 rnds for each weapon in the vehicle.

Add in a 5.56 or 7.62x39 cal carbine, and a 9mm pistol, and I'm right with you. Of course, firearm selections would vary by region. I'd probably go with a 454 carbine or 12 Gauge shotgun, and .44 magnum revolver if I lived in Alaska.

I think some burpees in my Speedo and Hawaiian shirt will be more than enough to get me home along with my trusty swimming pool noodle and gummy bears

I'd expect that kind of answer from a resident of Albuquerque

Not from here originally but that is a fair assessment

Never underestimate the guy with the swimmy noodle…

I'm watching this thread so I can borrow all y'all's great ideas.

Wife and I just started watching paradise. I think it's really far fetch to think you could build a City underneath the ground like that. I analyze it too much I think because some of the things they think they can pull off we just never happen…has anyone else watched the show?

Don't forget to pack things for your wife also in case she's with, like walking shoes, jacket, extra water etc. I carry an empty backpack in my truck to fill it with whatever I need from the emergency stuff I carry, since each circumstance may be different if the vehicle dies.

In the trunk of the car:

An ice chest with wheels & handle. Inside the chest, an inflatable raft that's big enough to carry my wife, me, and our gear. (Might have to cross the Willamette to get home after the big earthquake). A pump to inflate the raft. A couple of take-down oars.

The get-home bag, packed with food, etc. A tarp or two. Parachute cord. Knives, hatchet. Assorted medicines. A couple of armored Life-straws. Lighters and cooking/eating utensils. Road flares (easy to make fires with them, even in the rain.) Soap & toiletries. A bunch of coin tissues. Flashlight & batteries. A hand-crank radio.

Probably forgot about a few things. Basically it's just enough stuff to get a geezer-dude and his elder-babe home without starving or dying from exposure.

Great post; thank you. I have added some to my limited gear along with a want list. The biggest item of note that everyone I talk to doesn't seem to think about in SHTF prep is water crossings....bridges may be out or ultimately, are just convenient choke points to avoid if possible. Any recommendations on inflatables that are compact yet durable enough? Thanks.

you're not wrong.....

Simple, lets toss ideas and help each other out. Depending on where you live in this great country there is always a threat to our way of life and things that can make the crazies go crazy!

What event are you trying to be ready for?
What do you have in your vehicle to get you home to loved ones?
What if your vehicle doesn't run or the roads are gone?
Can you communicate with loved ones?
Are you fit enough to make it home?

These are just some of the things to think about. Let me know your thoughts and what you are going to do.

Glock 17 with extra mags plus my edc. AR15 if I need too. Portable truck starter and Tire inflator. Flashlights. Water.

When tooling about with the spousal unit in hostile territory, 4" & 6" .357s paired with 20" & 16" levers.
True occurrence:
Was in Indio CA to do the quickie child transfer from my niece's ex old man. Got in at dusk looking for an affordable motel on our phone. Found one that seemed promising. When we arrived, the online photo could have been taken from only one angle. We were beat and just said screw it. The facility was a post WWII motor lodge broke up into 3 compounds; the whole affair was surrounded by a 4-foot wall. We off load our gear and decide to grab a bottle of wine. When we get back, we pull into the closest spot, while my lights are shinning on a dumpster, the lid opens and a homeless dude climbs out of the dumpster with a bag of treasure, scurries through a pried open cyclone fence on the other side of the alley, into a camp in an old storage lot. That night was the first time I loaded both .22 semis and put one on each nightstand. PAX
