If I remember correctly, I essentially posted in the apocalypse thread what I would really have with me at the point I decided to bug. I may be wrong though. In reality, I would probably have my converted Saiga 7.62x39 as my rifle, the BCM BFH for my wife, and a my daughter would have a BCM ultra ltwt that I have built up. The BCM's have Aimpoints (H1 for the ltwt), the Saiga is iron. Daughter likely Jackmandu and a Vic Soldier as a minimum. Ruger .22 pistol. Big knife for the wife would be problematic. She's into knives like most people are into hammers. Her knife is a Buck Vanguard from long ago, BG42 blade. Unbelievable blade. I gave it to her for her backpacking knife, and have envied it ever since. That's probably all she'd take, unless she took a Benchmade Grip I got her long ago. The pistol is easy: Kahr K9. She's scary accurate with that, and I'd probably rather have her shooting at me with the AR than the Kahr. My knives would be what I said before, as would be my sidearm. Would love to take my .357, but I don't have the reloading components for it like I do the .44. It's ammo is heavier, but I can do more with it. Sorry, kinda rambling. But the earlier post about the family outfit got me thinking.
In reality, we are members of a local farm coop, and pretty good friends with the farmer. I would, in all likelihood, try to bug to there. He knows his stuff on year round farming. I'd likely try to trade out security service for his farm for food as wages, and hire as hunter of anything that might be around for long term meat.
No. I haven't thought about this a lot. Why do you ask?
