I always preach to stock up on what your potential enemy carries (in a non military situation) and I see our greatest threat coming from NATO or our own government. Civilian situations will eventually rise out of that, but the primary threat is what the founders thought of when they added the 2A to the bill of rights.
Eta: in most instances, I would consider 100 pounds of supplies plus the weight of the loaded weapons (not spare ammo) to be good enough to get you to safe harbor. I figure on 30 pounds of ammo, 10 pounds of clothing (a few changes), 20 total water, 25 food and then some accessories. Just a generalization but a decent base line.

Mentalist, have you humped 130 pounds of gun and supplies lately, in a tactical operation?
