Adorable cat she reminds me of my Zoey who we rescued as a kitten in January of this year. Even after being fixed she is still a wild one and full of personality. Maybe its a orange cat thing! Overall i think you have a good bag setup im not sure if you have a battery bank if not i would add one. Ive had very good results with anker products. I am also a fan of the Olight brand flashlights and the 2 i own have been great. If you are wanting something good to process bigger pieces of wood i recommend a small folding silky saw. The small one weighs hardly anything and gets the job done easily. I would also add a little bit of food perhaps a coulple of freeze dried mountain house meals that you could eat out of the bag. You have the vessel to boil the water with already and they last forever. I would recommend using a long handled titanium spork to be able to stir them well and not get food on your hands while eating. I know our bodies are capable of going a long time without food but food does provide energy and with the possibility of having to walk 13 miles i would also keep easy to consume food on the move with me such as granola bars , beef jerky and protein bars. Anyways i enjoyed the video and i really liked your glock set up with the flashlight. I may have to twist mh husband's arm a little and get him to get me one. I currently have a ruger 9mm but its not setup with the flashlight. I get off work late at night so i think it would be very beneficial if the situation was to arise. Which i pray it doesn't but this is why we stay prepared because we do live in a cery unpredictable world. Stay safe! I almost forgot to add this pack a coulple pair of extra socks there is nothing worse than walking in wet socks! This is coming from a hiker and you will definitely get horrible blisters if you dont take care of your feet. Leuko tape is great for putting over a tiny piece of gauze on a blister and it will not come off until you are ready for it too!
Some food for thought, what would you think about a second bag without fire arms, that you could leave under seat in truck that you could give your son his own bag to carry and then you could have your bag that you bring in and out each day but that way when you and your son hit the road on foot you both could have a bag and 2x the capabilities and some extra stuff and save you from having to carry all the weight. Plus if separated for any reason both would have the stuff needed.
That's an insightful idea. I have several packs I could load up with essentials and free up some weight from the pack I carry everyday. Just keep the 2 firearms in my bag. Thanks for the great input!!
Commute type will play a role. Urban environment or less populated commute. Maybe consider carrying the multitool and the Gerber. Keep your double wall container full throughout the day. And fill the single wall before leaving home or work for your commute. That way if something does happen you have water. Have the same set up for your sons bag. Get a second bag for your son to carry if possible, which will include one of your handheld flashlight, the SOG fixed blade. Water bottles(filled). Ponchos for both of you to cover yourselves and backpacks. Carry some snacks. Protein and carbs. Unless your walking 13 miles a day already. It will probably be taxing on you guys. Just food for thought.
I like your bag, I too like the lights, but I would open the box to free up room and weight. I carry extra pew pew (glock19 or HK usp compact 9mm) extra mags least 5 or more) I have 1st aide for massive bleeding, but also tums, Tylenol, baby aspirin, ain’t I diarrhea meds, chapstick, hand warmers, baby wipes for cleaning and bathroom needs. Extra pair of wool socks, pants, t shirt, and underwear. Also battery bank, and extra batteries for flashlights and head light. Mora knife, wire, para cord. Extra pair of glasses, also have ice pack. Poncho, a emergency bivi to use as a sleeping bag, 5 hr energy, few snack bars, small am/fm radio, mechanic gloves, mask/hat, 3m n95 mask, bandanna, water filter, multi tool gerber, pocket knife, Swiss Army knife, fire kit, and also many lighters, latex gloves, and 1 MRE, extra packs of cigarettes (my vice) lastly I need to do this too but put a soft body armor panel in the back. But like the bag, I got some good ideas from it!
That sounds like a well thought out compilation of items. It would be a bit much for me to carry with me everywhere. It would probably be a good idea for me to have those types of supplies if needed. Maybe I could load up a truck bag as you mentioned with the supplies that I don't carry daily, but may end up being useful in an "on foot" situation.
