    Time to check those bags.

    Today, I decided to unpack my always-ready GHB, and replace expired contents, re-organize, and double check anything that I might have used up / missed. In an effort to bring back a little of the "prepping" topics to this forum, I wanted to invite all of you to check your bags, and start this thread about it. First aid supplies can expire, as can emergency food rations. Did you use up all your zip-ties the last time you needed to tie something down? Did you use up all your duct tape? Does your bag/truck gun need to be field stripped, cleaned, and checked? Do you need to change out your winter emergency clothes for spring/summer ones? While you are at it, do you need to oil the snaps on any snap-closures? Oil your knife? Got any other ideas about what needs to be checked and maintained? Share it here!

    That's why the quad hauls mine. I have plenty of pain without the pack on my back.

    If I had to go on foot I'd take nothing but my Blackhawk, rifle, Bowie knife and my flint steel. I'll just eat stray dogs and cats between point A to point B




    and my tobacco, bourbon and more bourbon

    Yup, I can picture that:

    Hawg walking down the road with several bottles clinking in his backpack, and both canteens full of booze.
    BAH FUCKING HUMBUG!

    Not time to change out the winter clothes in my bag yet still plenty of snow here. I do need to look through and check dates on the energy bars, and hard candies, but the MRE’s are still in date and I take the back up gun out every month and clean it. And the med kit gets checked every other month, since it is the one I use in the car as well as for my bag. Though it could use some rethought into what is in it and I should rotate the batteries out for new ones as it has been a long cold winter.
