For several reasons, I could not bring my GHB with me. I am presently sitting in my steel floating self propelled box on the downstream side of NOLA w/my EDC and very little other gear of my own.

EDC: SAK, Bic lighters, bandanna's, multi tool, flashlights, magnesium bar w/flint & striker, P-38, 2 spare AA batteries, smart phone, NukAlert, button compass, ink pen, some cash, a medium size Polish Army pouch, carabiners, 55gal trash bag, 1qt canteen, 16' of paracord, an Israeli Messenger Bag, appropriate clothing, & a small pocket flask.

This boat has comforters (bedding), 12'x12' blue tarps (shelter), fire axes (weapon & tool), all types of food, bottled water, a spool of 3/8th's inch nylon rope, 3inch lines, a small boat w/5gals of gas, kitchen cookware & utensils, 55gal & 35gal trash bags, 1qt & 1gal ziplock bags, toilet paper, several cases of bottled water, & a road map Atlas of the USA.

The only reason I would have to leave the boat would be in the event of an EMP. The Messenger bag and Polish Army pouch can hold a bit of supplies/equipment. I can make a bedroll from the comforter, tarp, & rope onboard. I can make a paracord from the strands of the 3" lines.I can easily make it to the West Bank. Then I would follow the levee up the west bank (thru the NOLA Metropolitan area), to the Hwy 190 bridge in Baton Rouge (includes cutting across the points and around the various oxbows to maintain a straight line), then west on Hwy 190 to get home north of the Atchafalaya Swamp.

Anybody have suggestions on what other resources I may have overlooked or routing suggestions?
