I took the lil lady out hiking and have discovered that she doesn't do well with a 20lb pack. Something about her yankee upbringing and this southern heat...

Weapons:

AR-15: 9lbs, Surefire, iron sights, sling, angled foregrip

S&W 29

XD .45

S&W J-frame

Ruger 10/22 takedown has own backpack lil lady will carry

Ammo:

5.56/.223, 7 loaded mags, 480 rounds in military style bandoleers on stripper clips.

.45 - 2 boxes of 230gr HP and two loaded magazines one in pistol

.44 a box of hard to find sought after ammo 20rds

.38 1 speed clip 1 speed loader 1 box of 20 hollowpoints

.22LR 1 brick 325 rds 2 30rd mags, 3 10 rd mags

Plan

Grab the BOB, throw ammo in, throw in .44. Move out quickly to nearby woodline, once fairly certain I won't be engaged breakdown AR and stick it into bag. All the while heading over to the closest local pipehitters I know. While I could try to convert the apartment complex I live in into a firebase with some locals....Not the best idea. I would be concerned with getting out of the area ASAP. I think it'd take three minutes to get out the door....

I have the extra ammo and "useless" pistol for trading value and to help local pipehitters. The missus would be carrying a relatively empty backpack, if I had her carrying anything. She can't move very well under weight.

Should the raiding party be local thugs I would use cell phone as primary means for commo...Should it be random gov't agency...well...

Should rendevous with pipehitters fail...I can see much Providencial help, my rugged good looks, and people skills to help my wife and I to get to the target point.

All in all, I dislike the scenario and pray it never happens.
