My bag is a molle backpack, it's broke in well and fits the shoulders great.

Water:
Low Pro Source 100oz bladder
1 SteriPen Water purifying UV Light +1 set of extra batteries

Tools/Equip:

Primary Weapon-
Carbine AR, aimpoint on larue quick mount and irons.
3 total 30 round magazines, 2 packed in exterior pocket.
*Small amount of lube stored in grip
Magpul Sling Single/Dual Point

Secondary Weapons-
Ruger LCP 380, concealed. 2 magazines
Walther P22 5 magazines

1 Small Folder Knife (Benchmade MelPardue that I always have in my pocket)

1 Multitool -SOG, for misc repairs or an extra blade or two, saw, etc..

1 Med sized fixed blade (SOG Seal Pup) when a small knife isn't enough knife.

1 Gerber Sport Axe, Small enough to carry, light- saw blade knife in the handle, overall used as a cutting/clearing a sleeping area in a thicket and chopping up fuel, last resort self defense.

2 Lighters 1 bic in pocket, 1 micro torch/zippo type
Small bag of Vaseline cotton balls

2' of 100mph tape on a small makeshift spool on my pack shoulder strap- who frikin' knows when you need it.

2 Space Blankets

Food & Clothing:
10-12 power bars
3-4 cans of potted meat (small, salty, and down right good for you, lol)
Jeans, hiking shoes, good duty type belt, light waterproof jacket, camo hat, clear nemesis glasses.
+ a set of UnderArmor if it's fall/winter.

Strategy:
I think making haste and traveling by evening/night is going to yield success in any situation like this. The name of my game is I've got a relatively small area to vacate which would be 2/3 days of very methodical travel using dense cover, barns, sheds, old cars. Then have to trek several miles at once seeking more cover.

Primary/Secondary weapons only utilized as a last resort to either assault or suppress while making an exit. Being seen and detected is avoided at nearly all costs.

If captured or in a close hand to hand fight the hidden lcp 380 could be a life saver.

Walther P22 can be used for small game and birds as the sun is beginning to rise/fall. Most of my terrain to cover that will put me at the most risk will be low and dense creek bottoms so sound would be to my advantage if I need to take a meal w/ the 22. Once the long travel has been made, hunting frequency will rise, seeking larger game, thieving, or being a sneaky opposing force will become more of my game plan as I get farther away from the populous or areas of danger.
