This is a bit of a strange topic but this forum seems appropriate as it gets responses from all walks of life. If you had to "head to the hills" on a moments notice, what 40 (plus or minus a few) pounds of gear would you take and for what purpose? You can make up whatever situation you like but to get minds thinking in my direction let's use an extreme case like foreign invasion. I say 40 pounds because it seems like a reasonable amount to allow mobility and keep things like camp stoves, tents, and sleeping bags out of the discussion. For terrain I want to set this in a heavily wooded area of moderate climate (the mountains of South Carolina for example). As far as the duration let's say indefinitely just so it's clear you will need the ability to gather food and water. Is this a realistic possibility?? Let's hear what you think. To get it started I would think a few of the top items would be a GOOD KNIFE (which one?), fishing line and hooks, a good supply of paracord,a tarp of some kind, some means of starting a fire, etc . . . You take it from there. I am sure there are a lot of people in this forum that have had to do exactly what I propose and many others that think they could if they had to. I am interested in hearing what you have to say. Thanks to all, in advance.
