Mathematically Unlikely Scenarios Here == M.U.S.H. with a lower-case y to create the adjective. I recently had to search the forum to remind myself what it meant, so I thought I'd save you the trouble .

Personally, I like the term.

Thanks for that look up - I made it up and had forgotten. It was created for people who do math like so; 1 gallon per person per day - I'll be gone for 5 days so I'll add 5 gallons to my backpack. Thinking done!

One word - Cache.

If you plan on never coming home again, there must be someplace you intend to head to. If I was Backbreak Bob here, I'd cache ammo in several out of the way places along intended and/or probable routes.

As to pack weights. I routinely averaged above 90% on my PT scores. I maxed the run for 21 y/o on my last PT test (I was 42). I had rucks go from nearly nothing (summer at Bragg) to well north of 100 lbs (aforementioned Alaska trip, to include radio). If I had my druthers, I'd carry little more than food and water with gotta haves, and rely on pre-place caches to supplement.

Hmm.

I wonder how difficult it would be to rig up an ALICE pack with a crossmember/axle and two lightweight bicycle wheels?

Clearly it wouldn't be useful everywhere, but depending on your environment it could be quite advantageous, with the pack only on your back for short periods of time where terrain is simply not suited for wheels.

Burncycle...a used jogging stroller, especially the high end ones with the same diameter wheels, could easily carry a large ALICE pack, and a lot more... the pic is for my 3 gun rig... I have attempted to make it modular, with aluminum snap links to attach my range bag...it is very easy to push...the wide versions for twins would be ideal

Well the NVA did just fine with a bike and a few bamboo rods to attach gear to.

There are several "backpack with wheels" inventions out there - and look fairly simple to make. But if you have to move weight, I like a nice wagon, bike trailer or stroller.

As I read this thread, one thought occurred to me: if you're carrying thousands of rounds, you'd better pray they're mostly for long-term hunting.

This is not to say that I disapprove of self-defense, but think about it: if you are in the sort of war where you might have to shoot 1,000 rounds cumulatively, the only way for you to survive is if you're a part of an army.

*Alright, tornado warning went off. I'm now in my shelter. I still have wi-fi*

Anyway, if you have to shoot that much, you're probably fighting a large number of armed men. Without allies, logistical help, and medical care, you'll die fast.

+1 on the bicycle. A little research on how the Japanese did it in WWII and the NVA did it in Vietnam will show not only how easy it is, but how practical as well.

for you guys out there that actually know where the Mu Gia Pass is....
