E & E Kit

[SOC Tab]

TR:
If I'm going into E&E in such an instance, I may have to ditch gear to really scoot n' shoot. Thus my E&E bag would be invaluable. Which would necesitate the compact size and weight factors.

I might be able to dump my ruck, conceal it, backtrack to it when possible if situation allows and re-acquire it. Tricky.

In this instance, I didn't see that as an option. Just not enough time for that.

Hmmm...it occured to me that this has somewhat gone from a "Kit" thread to a "decision" thread.

Will avoid that path.

I liked your frag/revised kit. Even though some pieces may be dead weight, as you said, when you DO need them they'll be appreciated.

Something I notice you didn't mention was alcohol. Now is it just me or does anyone else keep a 5th of Old No.7 in their E&E/Bug out bag? Hey it may come in handy. Ha ha ha

I think I might trade in a few of your edged tools, which can always be fashioned if time permits (maybe while laid up, again situation dictates), for some med items/commo which might be more useful in this particular situation.

You'd have to fire and manuever for some time and at a high rate in that environment to give yourself a chance to get to a layup point. Highly likely that the firing would cease before the manuevering portion, in which case the kit and contents become paramount next to ones skills and ability to adapt to outside influences.

Agreed that the need for commo (to include signaling) and band-aids takes precidence here?

Do you think that the initial dimensions of the bag should be changed, more or less?

Time seems to be the real factor and being able to gain the initiative at some point and capitalize on it. The kit may be a secondary tool to that.

Still interested in what others may think it should be comprised of.

Damn, babies crying. Wife's fussy.

I'm Oscar Mike for now.
