Looking lighter. BTW, in D, you've got Immodium listed twice. Um, is there a reason you're going with a shoulder bag, sling, and backpack, vs. just everything in 1 backpack? I don't recall seeing if you mentioned a reason (sorry if I missed it).

I'm not sure what's in the Coghlin survival can, but if it's all repetitive stuff, maybe ditch it? Admittedly, a can could be useful though, esp since I don't see any cooking pots or pans.

In your Israeli bag, you have listed "medicine bag." How's that different than what's hanging on your shoulder sling? Also, maybe add 20ft. or so of wire, for snares? Toss in a heavy-duty slingshot and some ammo, for taking small game?

Do you have any way to help keep your stuff? Figure if you're walking home several hundred miles, things must be at a point where you can't just jump Greyhound... so millions of other folks are going to be unprepared and looking to survive as well.

BTW, in D, you've got Immodium listed twice.
A: That is a typo error, thanks, I will correct that.

Um, is there a reason you're going with a shoulder bag, sling, and backpack, vs. just everything in 1 backpack?
A: Transporting and storing my BoB onboard boat makes a backpack less than ideal. I preferred the ALICE pack for a projected short Bug Out (10days) but this arrangement will facilitate both the onboard storage issue and allow greater flexibility for a much longer projected trip.

In your Israeli bag, you have listed "medicine bag." How's that different than what's hanging on your shoulder sling?
A: It is in the Native American tradition.

Do you have any way to help keep your stuff? Figure if you're walking home several hundred miles...
A: I have knives and my wits....it won't take me long to obtain a real weapon, and food, and water, a bicycle perhaps,,,,I have many unadvertised talents.

Looking better.

I might suggest migrating one of the MREs to your musette in exchange for two water bottles in your pack. That way there if you have to scoot with one and not the other you aren't totally up the creek.

I'd still wondering if it might not be possible to get the smaller pouches on someone else's sling. Just one less strap to get hung up on if you have to go cross country.

that sounds like a good idea,,,thanks
