  One tip you can thank me for later: pack up everything and get out and use it for a weekend (a shakedown). You&apos;ll quickly find out if you have what you need, if your pack is too heavy, doesn&apos;t fit, clothes are proper for survival, etc. Also, don&apos;t pick a &quot;nice weather&quot; weekend. Anyone can survive a weekend in nice weather. Try it when it&apos;s cold, wet, etc.

  Don’t laugh. My husband and I got these amazing back packs and then I loaded them up with all our prepper stuff. Turned around and backed up to the table so i could slide the straps onto my shoulders and then walk away.....except they were so heavy with IMPORTANT stuff that two steps forward and i fell backwards from the weight! I could not even make it 2 steps away from my table let alone try to get to the front door!!!! (We are 70).....(but we think like we are 30!😳🤣) Imagine an episode out of I Love Lucy!!!! It’s all important stuff!!!!!

  Never underestimate the value of a good slingshot and some BBs.

  Canadian Prepper&apos;s pack ain&apos;t a bugout bag... it&apos;s a mini portable wilderness store.

  This is a sweet load out FOR HIM! Fact is that’s a lot of weight for the average Joe. Obviously he is younger, stronger and very physically fit. Making me realize I need to personally do better. <br>Which brings me to the point. YOU are the most important piece of equipment. You have to get as physically fit as you can. No matter your age, you can improve which will allow you to have more comfort items without the added fatigue.

  Just a tip: instead of/in addition to the outdoor post it notes, consider reflective tree tacks. &nbsp;If you have to hike out or retrace you steps in the night you can shine a light and see where you&apos;ve been.

  When I was in the Military, I had a training with the Belgian Paracommandos (green beret) and they taught us something useful. You don&apos;t necessarily need a tent or a tarp if you have a poncho. Take one or several pine cones, stuff them in the hole where your head goes when you put on the poncho. Tie the whole thing with a wire and you can basically create a small shelter in case of rain. The other thing is, always make sure you can survive 48 hours without your bag. Our backpacks had a special lever you could pull on to run away without the bag if need be (yes don&apos;t get into a fight when you are bugging out, run away from it if you can, that sometimes requires you to drop your kit). And you had to always carry what you needed to survive for 48 hours by yourself (a cereal bar, some water (condoms are great way to carry water, we even had them in our MRE rations), etc)

  Excellent bag for a strong man! Small (hotel size) bar of soap in ziloc bag replaces wet wipes to reduce weight. Protein bars = quick, no waste packaging, rich calories will keep you ahead of the horde. Eye protection for dense forest avoids branch injuries. Twisted ankles need athletic tape, common injury on rough terrain. Knowledge weighs nothing, never stop learning and practicing.Thank you for teaching others!

  <b>PREPPER PRO-TIP: POCKET LITTER</b> <br><b>Consider consolidating all those &quot;just-in-case-I-have-to-abandon-my-pack&quot; items into one compartment or attached bag that you would immediately empty into your pockets when about to take off, because if you ever get pressured into ditching your pack the odds are you won&apos;t have more than a few seconds to make that decision, so it may save your life to already have your pockets full of bare survival essentials such as a lighter, pocket knife, paracord, 55gal plastic drum liners/contractor bags for container/covering, etc.</b>

  Just a tip, stay away from gelcaps when it comes to storing meds, I&apos;ve had a bottle melt together in the warmer weather rendering it all useless.
