I live in Los Angeles and the most likely disaster to strike will be a massive earthquake. Buildings and roads may collapse making cars and buses useless. Bicycles may be a great asset but most people will have to walk to get anywhere. That being said, I chose to use the "Mountainsmith Daypack" lumbar pack. because the load is off of my shoulders and primarily on my hips. A small pack means lighter, faster travel. This pack is equipped to get me back to my home where i have more equipment and supplies to help me survive a natural or "man made"catastrophe. The pack is not a tactical one; meaning I am perceived as less of a threat to gangsters, sheeple, and LEOs. Although it is a lumbar pack, it is equipped with dual shoulder straps to secure and lighten the load. i don't carry any food because of weight, space, and i don't need it for a very short time frame. Besides, i might find it possible to acquire some food along the way home. Nor do i carry cooking equipment for the same reason.

  • If weight is a concern, get rid of the toiletry bag. You said the bag is for short term use. You need food more than toothpaste if you are trying to walk home.

  • I would include $20-$50 in small bills and change. In emergencies, cash is king. People would charge $10 for a bottle of water. Also, you said you didn't include food because you figure you can buy some. I wouldn't count on that. I would at least include some hard candies or peanut butter crackers.

  • You might want to rethink having all that stuff hanging off your bag. It makes you a target. Also, you included a map but I didn't see a compass. A compass will make navigation easier when all the roads are messed up from the earthquake, especially at night. I would also include a whistle. In case you are trapped under rubble. Also, keep those water containers filled with water before disaster strikes. Cause you don't want to drink water from the LA river.

  • how did you affix your cold steel to the hip belt? I also have the DAY model, but I want to get the "backpack" straps, I find the single strap to move around too much. Although I tend to carry a bit more clothing because of the climate here in Utah is a bit cooler. I also keep my pistol hidden in the bladder pouch in the back. Great job!!

  • great looking kit.. thanks for sharing
