/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Ok /diy/.

This thread did really well a few months back, the topic is bug out / go bags. I live just outside of NYC, and after September 11th I got very interested in this and first started assembling one.

So here goes, I have in mine(an Overboard 25L waterproof backpack) :

Basic first aid kit
SureFire E2L flashlight and a few extra batteries
Estwing hatchet
Smith and Wesson fixed blade knife
Two mylar blankets
Can opener
Nail cutter
Extra shoe laces
Pair of socks
One hundred feet of paracord
Three carabiners
Canteen and cup
Bottle of iodine
Magnesium firestarter bar
Box of waterproof matches
Film canister filled with cotton balls covered in petroleum jelly
A tennis ball
A few condoms
Flask filled with dark rum
Two liters of water
Two cans of corn beef hash
Five wire snares
Pocket mirror
My passport
A list off all the amateur radio repeaters within 30 miles (I'm a Ham) of here
AA battery pack for my Wouxun HT
$160 cash

The bag is surprisingly light and compact for all of what I have in it.
