Seems more "survivalist", doomsday oriented.

Lots of toys,short on skills is my thoughts.
If this is bugout he needs to do a LOT of camping and use that stuff.
Listing all the supplies,heck,just a household is all I saw.
Pantry,I have reservations too.Kudos to wife making Bread,at least something useful.Cant figure out what he will can if he cant garden,that takes practice,a LOT IMO.After years of it I know here feeding self with a garden wont happen,but its fun and yummy supplements in my case,bet for most others about the same.
Like the concealed carry,that seems useful.In the REAL world.
Is he planning Zombie's down the street,then he better get a bunker
Sounds like the doomsday prepper show.
Finally,he is ahead of 95% of folks,and bug IN he has some real good things (ice storm,snowed in,earthquake,grid down),bug out,I dont know....
IMO only.

Looks like 'here's a complete inventory of all my stuff'.
Personally I'd sell a couple of the guns and use the $ to buy a real safe instead of just a cabinet.
His Bug out plan is untested. The first list of stuff to do and grab would take about an hour, then the next section is what to do if they have the luxury of 30 minutes.
Sorry animal lovers but if I had to bug out immediately the frogs and dogs and cats would be on their own, I'm not risking my safety to save them. The EDC list stuff needs to be kept in an pocket organizer or in a pants pocket ready fireman style. The BOB's and totes need to be within reach, not in the back of a closet.

I noticed his comment that he needed to learn rappelling. I am not sure why, other than he must think it is something that one must do. In fact, he needs to learn technical rope work which involved ascending as well as descending. People who can't go both ways over steep terrain are just accidents waiting to happen and I have seen way too many of them happen, often with very bad outcomes.

And he carries maps with locations marked? How nice, easier for me to find his stuff.

Then you'd hate my bug out gear, Jac. Except for the coghlans kit in a can. My INCH bag would have you rolling on the floors. Remember: Guns spelled backwards is snug. LOL.
