But your bug out bag is in the trunk right?


Never mind, ain't much worse than a good sprinkle of Gold Bond on a muggy summer afternoon.

Yes, but I live in Southern CA and they will be hot in the trunk.

I'm guessing sunscreen would be a wise addition. Heck it would be a good idea up here, fish belly white is a good description of everything but my face and hands right now.

I think everyone is worrying to much about hygene items. I know hygene in a survival situation is important but I learned baby wipes and or hand sanitizer and nail clippers go a long. When we invaded Iraq in 2003 we went almost 2 months with no showers and only MRE's to eat. In the case of bugging out or home, I would hope your time line is a little quicker.

*Take out some hygene items and replace with bullets. ;D
 
**Or even better: water, water, and more water. Plus water purification items.
 
*** Ive lived out of a ruck for a long time now, as I'm sure a lot of you have, keep it as light as possible your back and legs will thank you. Also, invest in a good ruck or whatever it is that you are going to use. If possible get a fitted one that is your size. I was a mountaineering instructor in Alaska and all I had ever used was the Armys Alice and Molle rucks, I got a custom civilian mountaineering pack when I got there and found it was way more comfortable and could carry a lot more weight a lot easier.
