Survivalist Emergency Backpack Recommendations

[Bretsky]

I think u are in serious need of a night out with Nutz. Go watch some strippers or something.

get your mind out of the gutter 007; you are always thinking about the nudy girls !!!

[Bretsky]

Ever think if something really, really bad happened would you want to be one to survive?

AS LONG AS THERE IS AN EVE I'LL BE THE ADAM THAT WILL RESTART THE WORLD !!!!

WAIT.........CAN I HAVE A FEW EVE'S ????

[MJZiggy]

No, but I would try my best to make sure that my kids survive. I am not talking about a nuclear meltdown, or the Earth turning on humanity, I am talking about the fall of our economy causing our government to collapse which in turn would lead to chaos, the death of a civilized country.

If that happens, I'm just moving to Australia or New Zealand. Granted, from my experience the people are a little nutty, but what the hell.

[SkinBasket]

Isn't this the reason why you bought that big ass truck? Get those tires that don't pop put some thick sheet metal around the windows.

It's a American union product. I'd give it about 30 miles of off road use before it just falls apart or spontaneously explodes.

No, actually I don't. No matter how "hard" life is, you got a long, long, long time to be dead, so buck the fuck up. I'm sure if I lost my family, I would probably just scavenge liquor until I died, but I'm never going to wish I had died just to spare myself some pain or emotional distress.

Drew this up on the Bus today:



Features:
Small size
Low power
Temperature compensating
Frequency modulated output
Sensitive to Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Radiation

Operation:
The Apocalyptic Radiation Detector is simply operated by plugging in a pair of headphones into the 3.5mm jack and pointing the device towards the area of suspected radioactivity. The A.R.D. tone will get higher and higher to warn the user about harmful radiation.

Theory:
Ions emitted from radioactive material are stored up in the ion chamber (tin can) until enough are present to conduct current through the cathode. This current is then amplified, converted to a voltage signal, and frequency modulated.

There's a short in there that will bake your ears - but they might be tasty on a toasted wheat bread sandwich with provolone.

how are you going to get there? you got a plane? Don't you think there is going to be at least 50 million other Americans with that idea?

Especially when the dollar ain't worth a drop of bum seamen. Unless you've been listening to crazy people like Beck who've been speaking for years about the importance of physically possessing gold. Fucking kooks.

What problem do you see? Seemed to work well in Spice.

You tested a Geiger counter on strippers?

[Cheesehead Craig]

I know you already mentioned the machete/knife but I'd recommend a smallish crow bar. Never know when you'll need to break into some building that some idiot decided to lock.

[3irty1]

You might also consider something brightly colored like a yellow or red poncho. It could help you be seen from above should you need rescuing. Drab colors might not make the best camouflage when the Earth is covered in hellfire. If you are wearing red, you could pass as a demon from far away.

[MadtownPacker]

Maybe we should start setting up bases now. I will be the west coast contact.

I got a couple, and a bolt cutter, all of which are heavy, but might be last minute additions if it looks like we'll be looting/squatting to live, which would be a worst case scenario.

[Freak Out]

Don't forget some home brewing/distilling equipment for the compound.
