I'm thinking I need to travel light. Tough choice between ar-15 and shotgun. But I'm going with the AR. Mid-lenght or carbine? Carbine. Ok. Two knives. Damn. KHHI kukri 10.5" blade. Small knife??? Mineral Mountain Knife works Chute knife. And that's it. As far as weapons and tools go. 500 rds of ammo at the most. Should be enough for a good long while. Ain't into spray and pray. Have a 1X4 scope on the Ar. Eyes not good enough anymore for open sights. Friggin red dots bloom so much with my stigmatism they are useless without my contacts. Reminder. Get a good, heavy duty pair of glasses. Or, save for that laser surgery. Between those two knive I should be ready for pretty much any contingency.
And that's it. I'd love to take every single weapon I own. Got plenty for family and friends but I ain't carrying nothing else. That bit there is pretty dang heavy, along with the bugout bag, medicines and stuff. I want to be able to move fast and hide easily. You'd be suprised how much a hundred pounds of weight will slow you down. And you don't want to be slow. At least I don't. You all know the old joke, or parable if you will. You don't have to run faster than the bear. Just faster than your companion.
