When much younger, I carried rucks that averaged 60 lbs - I was the Radio guy for the Commander. 30 lbs of radio/5 lbs of extra battery/25 lbs of gear. This is not counting the stuff I was wearing.

In Alaska my ruck went just over 110 - and I was tethered to it by a battery cable that ran from under my shirt (battery was strapped to my chest) and into the ruck where the radio was. So not fun.

There is no way on God's green earth I would want to try to hump a 100+ lb pack. That is why they invented caches.

I consider 300rds to be more than adequate for an extended outing. The SEALs have it right: if you get into a firefight, you've blown your mission.

You had me at INCH pack smile. Walking off into the woods indefinitely never struck me as a good plan; it's definitely not something I'll be preparing for.

Ditto. It's just not something I envision needing to do.

I fully respect your opinion wildman. However if you have blown your mission 300 rounds may not be adequate. And some ammo would be expended for hunting I would assume. The average person evacing is not a trained and experienced combat vet. They have most likely never heard a shot fired in anger, will have no ammo discipline when under fire, and are far less likely to hit the enemy. Also, the enemy will want what they have and may perhaps heve better, higher capacity weapons. And criminals aren't the warm and fuzzy fellows that the media would have us believe. They'll only get worse as things fall apart around them. I also carry between 200 and 500 rounds when I am working. Outside the states I have carried upward of 1000 depending on the situation. Just my opinion, sir.
