I guess, I can say that I have yet to put a bag together, but I do have quite a few bags that I could use: (2) Condor tactical bag tan (3-day assault bag (not the greatest bag), medium modular assault bag (it's okay) ), LAPG ($30 special in black), Large Alice (was an infantryman, so I know it really well). Been reading a lot lately on BOBs or GHBs, but I'm currently focusing on the First Aid portion of it; for the apparel portion, you can wear the same clothes for a little bit (minus underwear, but then again, I was a grunt so that might become optional if SHTF, I would definitely pack clean socks and t-shirts). Also, lesson learned, pack light, freeze at night. You would need to tailor your bag to accommodate your local climate with a freeze degrees under and over the norm.     One of the things I notice, everyone says water and food. You can go 72hrs w/o food, but you will need water. you can probably carrying 2 qts and then have water purification tablets or straw filters (some are inexpensive). Food, I'm not a fan of the MREs (ate a lot of them and it's not fun after 3 days on them), but they do have some things that can get you thru the day, that you could source elsewhere: oatmeal bars, pb&j, m&m's, trailmix, etc.  Those will provide you with enough sustenance for a few, but for something like the OP 35 miles, you will need food, so maybe something that you could just add water and go (Ramen is light and can be maybe pretty quick). Been looking at the camping add water meals, but reminds me too much of MREs..    Things that I have seen as common: Space blankets Knife (folder and/or non-folder) compass - vital that you know how to use it map and/or gps 550 cord (100 ft or less) Multitool Duct tape on a card or folded onto itself flashlight (headlamp and handheld) first aid kit - decent size one, not just bandaids survival kit - fishing line, hooks, wire saw, etc. fire starter - waterproof matches, cotton balls soaked in vaseline, magnesium firestarter, dryer lint 6'x8' tarp or a little larger - for shelter building, larger will provide more cover. candles - in case you are in a closed environment (car) they can provide some heat and light as well small camp stove or heat tabs (preferred) well broken in footwear- I prefer jungle boots w/ sneaker inserts (wore like that in Panama for 2 years, last me 5 years before I had to resole them), check your weather gloves - mechanix gloves work well, HarborFrieght has knock offs for cheap every now and then. nitrile gloves (get the thick ones), heavy duty leather gloves (welding gloves) headgear - boonie hat with some of the brim cut (vietnam Lrrp style), ball cap (rip stop are the best) sunglasses - not too dark and some cheap from wally world.  tampon/feminine napkins TP - toilet paper Non-scent hand sanitizer   then add a few mags for your sidearm (you are carrying one right)   Still working on my list, but I think that it's a decent base to work from, most of the items can be found at Wally world, Harbor freight, and a few places online..

  I tend to avoid Opry Mills at all cost.. Traffic, stupid people, and Can't stand that place.. But looks like a trip is in order for ammo. 

Who in Middle TN has 00 and slugs?

Hmm, walk out and then walk back in. 

7 boxes left of 5.56 @ Wally 5616..

     Where do they hide it? Went to day and all they had was 12, 20, & 410ga ammo.. And I asked, they said that's all they got in the case.. Please tell me there's a secret hiding place or the person is about as clueless as a box of rocks.. 

Been wondering which Walmart store 5616 was, Now I get it. went there a few times and found ammo a while back.. I thought it would be a secret still, guess not, since it's not close to anywhere that would grab people attention for having ammo.. 

Thought I'd sign back up to see how everyone is dealing with the nonsense..    US Army 90-97 11B1P & 67R1P (Panama, Bragg, Campbell) Was an avid shooter, now just collect and converting others.  Lots of things have happened since last time I was on.     I promise to be present from here on out..    Jose

thanks fellas. \

Sorry it's been a long time, Got side track with other stuff.. Former .Mil (11B1P/67R1P 90-97 Army) Haven't shot in a while so need to get back into the groove.. Mostly ARs and my glock. Jose

Does anyone have a good source to get some of the ammo listed above for 9mm? I mean, if I really owned a pistol or firearm of any type I would want to make sure I carried the right ammo.. I had some Federal +p mixed in with some 124gr Nato Ball but ended up shooting it up on a range day..

Sorry fellas for not being around, I'm on that list, except my address is wrong, not that it matters since they got my full name and birthday (year). Nice to know my info has been released..

He's a good guy, NOT!! Even the Ranger Association Disowned him for the Beret thing.

I was looking at those, except Dick's was the only guy in town that them...

Hmmm, there were guns in those pictures, apart from the one with Joe shooting? I need to go get my eyes checked out..

This is great: ‘© a semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of-- ‘(i) an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; ‘(ii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer; ‘(iii) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned; ‘(iv) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and ‘(v) a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm; and Oh yeah I can see it know, all the P22s that have threaded barrels with a Flash suppressors on them.. Also that means that the Glock 17 or all the glocks could be an issues since there's a FA version out there (G18). BTW, who comes up with this stuff..

PM Replied to.. The chest rig is a ATS M4 Modular Chest rig. (off their site) It has 4 integral mag pouches that accommodate one M4 magazine each (M4 mags pictured are not included). Mag retention is with a bungee pull tab and the Sure-Grip material that lines the pouches. The body of the vest features 4 rows of MOLLE compatible webbing for a wide range of possible configurations. The shoulder straps are 2" flat webbing with no buckles, d-rings or loops that may snag or interfere with the shouldering of your weapon. The shoulder harness is an H-Style harness with a wide range of adjustment for almost any body shape or size. The harness is also completely removable so that it will be compatible with future harness upgrades like a hydration back panel. I've got a ATS Small Med pouch and Utility Pouch on it.. Great bunch of guys and just up the round in Clarksville. One of these days I'll put it all to good use, hopefully it's a class and not because of a Zombie Attack..

LOL..

So I've put this off for a few years and finally took the plunge looks like this is only the start.. AR Specs: KAC M4 Rails KAC Foregrip Matech BUIS Spike's ST-15 Lower Magpul MAID Magpul CTR Decent Flashlight GG&G Rail Sling Mount.

WASR-2 got 100 rnds thru it..

Yup, 5.45 is nice all but I'm looking I'll more options with a 7.62 version instead.. So on that note, anyone out there got any suggestions?

Bro, keep in mind that there's a lot of folks sporting stuff on their hats that they shouldn't be. I wish I would have stayed a little longer than my 10 minutes, I would have coined the guy..

Wow, I missed all the drama.. Hmm, someone had a badge, interesting.. Well, I'm happy y'all got to shoot and have fun, I'm still working on getting rid of this stupid head cold (I just love the cold weather:sick:) So where's the next one going to be held?

Fellas, sorry I showed up late (2ish) and just said hello to one person and left.. I got this stupid head cold and it was best for me to get back to bed..

Trying to make it. I will probably be fashionably late. Not sure what I want to bring to shoot. AK, AR(s), M1 Carbine..
