Hi,
Ok, I'm re-evaluating my emergency kit I have in my vehicles. In case of an emergency which takes out roads and vehicles (such as a major earthquake (I live in Ca).
My wife works at a School so I don't have to worry too much about her necessities such as food and water. Since she is required to stay there for up to 72 hours to help facilitate shelter for the kids, their needs are taken care of.
I have in her car the basic necessities such as light, blanket etc. I on the other hand would have to walk a days worth to get there (from work) and I just realized that my bag is just too big to haul with me. I'm redoing my kit as follows:
-1 small Camelback with pockets
-1 gallon water (which I'll dump into the camelback before heading out)
-First aid Kit
-Gerber Multitool
-Cliff Shot Energy gels
-Mil-Spec Strobe
-Small FM Radio with Lithium AAs
-Inova X5t
-SF G2
-Spares carrier with batteries and lamp
-GMRS 2 watt Radio with Lithium AAs installed
(my thinking is that if the earthquake or some other civil disturbance is preventing me from driving home, the cell sites and phones will be out. I need a way to communicate to find my wife, she knows to get the radio from her car and turn it on)
-I'll have my service gun to thwart any unlawful individuals getting in my way
This is not a survival kit, just something I can strap on and walk home after a major disaster (like the San Fransisco quake). I'm confident in our governmental services enough not to keep a "survival" kit on-hand. I want to keep away from anything alkaline or rechargeable.
Am I missing something that you can think of? Thanks
