Here's an example of what I was saying about the Rawls book. This is what
he says you should have in your G.O.O.D. Backpack:
Sleeping bag
Jacket
Gloves
Boots
Poncho
Small Tarp
Financial and personal papers
Cash and a rolls of quarters
Road maps
First aid kit
Insect repellant
Fire starter kit
Letherman tool
Utility knife
10 to 15 MREs
Extra socks and underwear
2 canteens or a camelback hydration pack
Broad brimmed hat
LED flashlight and extra lithium batteries
Firearms
Cell phone
GPS
Brunton solar port or similar solar charger
All of that is supposed to go in your BACKPACK!
All good stuff but who could carry it all?
Then he has 3 more ADD ON Kits that he says would be too bulky or heavy to
carry in your backpack. Well DUH. His kitchen list alone has 24 items and
that ain't countin' food.
It's all good, useful stuff but he's gone way beyond what most folks would
be capable of handling in a backpack.
Of course he tells everyone to be able to run 5 miles with their pack too.
LOL.
