I'm putting together a secondary 72-hour bag for my vehicle and I don't want to break the bank, but I need something that strikes reliable sparks at sub-zero temperatures. Any trusted recommendations? I saw the one on the main Gear section but wanted opinions.
The wilderness lists built into the app are amazing. Has anyone experimented with creating a specialized Urban Evacuation list for high-density areas during blackouts? Might be a good feature request if we pool some ideas here.
Hey folks. Quick tip: If you're rotating water barrels, remember that while water doesn't "expire," the plastic containers do leach over time. A good rule of thumb is treating with un-scented bleach (8 drops per gallon) if you're not cycling it every 6 months...
Just did a 10-miler with my newly built 72-hour bag from the app's checklist. Came in at 32 lbs. Realized quickly that my shelter system was way too heavy. Swapped out the 4-season tent for a high-quality tarp and a bivy sack, saved almost 4 lbs.
