What I'd grab.

Attached is what I'd grab.
Civilian pack loaded with enough food and supplies for a few days. I will have to steal more water along the way but the pack has purification tabs in them and a small whisperlite stove and the fuel bottle goes in the right pocket though it isn't shown. 3 liter camelback will be full. Water isn't difficult to source around here.

Also in the bag is 1st aid, survival supplies, small fishing line and lures, long underware, backpack tent (poles attach under the pack), woobie, cliff bars, 4 - 2 person add water and warm food packs from gander mountain, compass, map in lightweight map case, 3 spare loaded ar-15 mags, 2 spare m&p mags loaded, pocket mesh hammock, few spare batteries, poncho, mess kit, leatherman mut.

Don't have the exact weight on it roughly 25-30 lbs dry.

Nice thing about that pack is i can throw a shirt or or poncho around that AR and it straps to the front of the pack making it semi concealed.

On my hip would be the m&p 9mm in a comp-tac Minotaur, and not shown is two modified safariland kydex ar pouches that go on my belt. all of that is totally concealed.

I'd also grab eiether my bellville waterproof boots or my merrel low hikers. either of which have plenty of time on them.

If people are chasing me I want to be relatively light so I'd probably dump the tent depending on what the weather was like that day and just keep the rain fly.

Rifle has 3000+ rounds down it, has been maintained and i'd trust my life on it. I've hit man size targets with it at 300. Not for groups but I'd feel pretty confident of at least scoring some hits. That's probably the max range i'd want to try and use it for, with that optic anyway.

What I perceive as an advantage with this setup is depending on whether I'm being pursued alone or if it's SHTF I don't stand out too much. I can have the rifle covered and walk right into a town if need be.

I know the weakness here is food and water, but small game and streams are plentiful in my AO so carrying a lot of food is not necessary. The small creature comforts I am packing like the tent are more morale boosters then really necessities.

If I have to cross country 100 miles carrying a rifle with people after me I need to keep my spirits up some, and small things like being a little extra warm or dry at night go a long way. However, they'd be the first things I'd dump if I was over burdened.

Also in my pocket is my PS.com knife, love that thing.

ETA excuse that snap light it's been there since last camp.
