Pre-packaged food for the initial foray until I settled into a base camp

My Rampant Rabbit







Seriously though a big knife!! In an emergency, that big knife is going to come in handy for all kinds of things, from skinning trapped animals, cutting off fish heads, making shelter, and getting sap and resin from trees, along with bark. A knife like a "bowie knife", strong, and where the steel continues all the way thru the handle, folding knives don't work well, .......treat your knife like a baby........care for it.......don't throw it to stick it in ground or tree....keep it sharp!! and protected in a sheath

How about contact with others? would you intend to contact others or stay alone ?

Given that I figure I can't run that fast and they'll catch me then I'd have to say a big batch of my Decadently rich Chocolate biscuits, TPTB would find themselves helpless to resist them.

Yet if I was to seriously consider it I'd say my first aid kit. It aint light nor small but it's critically important.

Right....Newbs has got the water purification tablets..Tiger the guns and ammo..mensa some food..TheAffected a first aid kit..Savannah a knife...

I would grab my collection of vegetable seeds..and a big box of matches...

Yeh it would depend on time , and transport and situation of course.
It would also depend on how long you were intending to stay in the new situation.
The thing that scares me the most in that type of scenario , is other people... unpredictable.
I think I would have to squeeze in some chocolate though... and meds if poss.

Dude, how are we going to carry all this stuff? Should we gather some pack mules? They better not trod on my cat 'cause I'm sure not leaving her behind!

Buy a backpack and stock it up. If you can't fit it in the pack, it's excess. Two shoulder straps and you're ready to boogie
