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.

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)

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.

Jace,
Yeah, La Jolla doesn't get too cold. But, you're from there, so you're not that acclimated to the cold. I grew up in the OC, so I remember that the 50-60 degree temps of winter are "cold." Throw in the fog that La Jolla gets, and you'll be pretty chilly. A hat and vest (or jacket) would be a good idea, as might a poncho, in case it drizzles (yeah, for the one day annually where SoCal gets rain.)

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.

-Jace

P.S. I am going to post the contents of my kit. (:
