My gear, all packed up. My edc My backpack unpacked. A closer look.Is there any thing else you can see added. I think that I might add one of those inflatable solar still, because I live/ go to school by the ocean. I go to school about a 2 minute walk from the ocean. -Jace

The kit looks good, but do you happen to have a list of it?
Maybe add some duct-tape, ear-plugs and some more lightsticks? (If you haven't got them already)
BTW: What's in that OD-pouch in the third picture?

Okay. I have duct tape, ( on a home made spool) and earplugs ( int the little green box.)The OD box is a military first aid kit. I get them from my surplus store, I live by Camp Pendleton, a HUGE marine base. It was like 16 dollars and has a lot. I will add more lite sticks, thanks for the idea. maybe some more duct tape.

You could add a lot of things depending on what you believe would come in handy.
I would :
o Replace the cotton white socks with wool socks (merino wool blend) and the small light with a cheap headlamp
o Lose the medic shears and replace with a medium size Swiss Army knife
o Remove the playing cards (needlessly heavy!) and replace by a pouch of Gatorade crystals
o Replace the N95 masks by a bandana (such as the Buff). Your masks will lose their shape and might become unusable after a little while in your pack.
There you go.

1) I plan on changing them to wool 2)I'm not able to have a SAK at school. 3)I don't care about weight ( it will be in my locker) 4)I need the cards cause they are non electric, and i will get bored after the "incident" 5)I might add the gatorade 6)I have a bandanna too. (EDC)I don't think that they will deform because I put them on the top of my bag and it stays in my locker. (were it wont move)

Maybe a heatsheet in case you're stuck outside at night. Or strung up for a sunshield if y'all are corraled in the football field after a quake.

One thing that I thought of today is to put all of the contents ins plastic bags. If there was an earthquake the water jugs mite leak a little and ruin the contents (life boat water logging the survival gear?). It could also prove useful for the bags. I also thought about adding a whole roll of duct tape. Would some salt and pepper be useful or not? Just in the little to-go packets? Also It doesn't get very cold hear in La Jolla but my uniform is all cotton.
just some thoughts
-Jace
p.s. I am definitely going to do the bag thing.
p.p.s I changed the socks for on all wool version.

La Jolla gets about a foot of precipitation a year. And if they had a major disaster, that's when they would get it.

According to Murphy, yes this is when we will get the storm of the century.
