Yes, I have wifi in my outhouse!
I sure wish you guys would give us a warning when you decide to let a retarded mad dog back in the house for the 6th time!
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Oh trust me. The doggie door wasn't open long enough for it to get in.
It's like that old joke with the hitchhiker where the car stops 20 feet down the road. The hitchhiker runs and the car moves another 20 feet. We let them juuuuuuust get ready to post and WHAM...Ban button.
hahahaha! You mods are awesome!

I'm just shy of "on the other side" of your load out. The reason for me is, I'm not just bugging myself out - I have an immediate family of 6. I don't have the luxury of 'minimalist' sustenance, I have to manage all of us and all our necessities. Now understand that each of us has a role, and each role has their individual gear.
My BOL is not nearby but there is a "stop" on the way. We each have our bags that [I suggested] we each keep to under 25% of our body weight - with a little bit of flexibility pro and con. I happen to have 3 bags....one remains permanently in the vehicle, #2 goes with me in case I'm alone and away [in the vehicle I'm in at the time] and the 3rd is at home with them when "it" happens. That one I have to get.....or have it brought to me at out meeting place.
My personal role is navigator and defense when in the vehicle. Wife drives, I direct and provide mobile defense. She is lightly armed [for personal defense] but I am armed enough to take on [almost] any situation the environment could throw at us [pretty much, to the teeth]. That means I'm the one who is burdened with the majority of the guns and ammo...but that's the #3 bag.
Bag #1 has 10 lbs of [mostly dry] food, 2 gallons of water, some tools, knife, cordage, etc. and 500 rds of mixed ammo.
The #2 bag has 3 lbs of dried food and half a gallon of water, metal cup and pre-loaded magazines for my immediately controlled firearms.
Bag #3 is primarily pre-loaded magazines for all used firearms but loose ammo as well.
Our drills have proved we can get on the road within 3 minutes....and that's all 6 people, aged 16 and up.
Now that's just getting our BoBs and running to the "stop".....which features a pre-loaded trailer that goes with us. That's another minute-fifty and back on the road again.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government."

For our bugout I actually have multiple layers.
1) We bug-in. Essentially we avoid the pitfalls of the highway by staying home and eating the neighbors, starting with that little dog.
2) I have full frame backpacks for the entire family, and enough gear for an African safari. More guns than hands to carry them, then the ammo...Mebbe I'll keep a few prisoners as porters...the hot ones.
3) We bugout to the ranch. We have a fallback location that the family and friends head to. Once there we eat the neighbors, starting with their dogs. Again, we keep the porters.

homemade boxer shorts, 18 layers of KevlarLooks like I missed something here.Just because its called ball ammo doesn't mean you need bullet proof underpants.
I have 4 items for B.O. - Bottle of dry red wine; Glass; Lawn chair; Little plastic end table. I carry all four up onto a roof, and I'm good.
Test runs show that I can complete my B.O. run in 30 seconds flat.
