Granola bars would be my main food source in it because there is no way I can pack enough for several people for more then a day in MREs lol
My plan would essentially be to get to them first and then worry about the rest later on after I get this much prepared.
I also want a good survival handbook for wilderness survuval

I want this pack to be useful in many situations like being stranded in many weather conditions and such

Entire kit so far








As you can see my kit is pretty far in but a few more things will be needed to fine tune it some more!

Wants/Needs:
-Clearly I need a food supply for several days. I am still researching on what I will get to solve this situation.

-Another thing I am researching is what clothing I should keep packed. (other then the usual extra socks, underwear, hat and gloves)

-Another water container couldn't hurt!

-Katadyn Hiker PRO Microfilter (Added to my amazon cart, just need to pay for it lol)

-Wouldn't mind a solar charger and switching over to some rechargeable batteries at some point.

-PAIN MEDS, far from enough in my first aid kit. (In a SHTF scenario I WILL suffer from caffeine headaches if I cant kick the habit soon. Possibly some mild caffeine pills)

-Sharpening Stone

-Maps

-Gun Cleaning Kit

-Snake Bite Kit

-Snare Materials

-More knives?!? Never enough!



Thanks for reading, guys! Appreciate the time and any comments you may have!!

EDIT: Also forgot to mention I'll probably add a Katydyn Base Camp Microfilter that I recently came across for $2 at a flea market as a secondary filter
