Packing your emergency food and equipment

Pack loose or multiple items in plastic zip lock bags Pack items according to similarity or according to use; Breakfasts Lunches Dinners,

Beverages, Snacks or Cooking Aids.

Some Packing Suggestions

Emergency Bug-out Food Pack14 days-three meals per day food supply packs into a

19"x 20" nylon food bag

Picture 1

Picture 1 shows a typical one person 14 day-three meals per day food supply, and thebasic cooking utensils for the food preparation items.

Keep in mind that the 14 day food supply and the cooking utensils will not all fit into theback pack, therefore, a duffel bag will be necessary to carry your food in.

One thing that must be kept in mind is that all the food in the 14 days emergency kit is allfrom the local grocery store. Most of the food is freeze dried and will require water to

hydrate and some of the food may need to be cooked, if desired.

To ensure that you always have a food supply you may want to split the 14-day of food intotwo units. One unit containing 11 days of food, this goes in the duffel bag, and the otherunit contains a 3 days supply of food and goes in your backpack. This is your emergencybug out supply. By splitting the food into two units you ensure that if the duffel bag is lostyou will at least have the emergency 3-day supply.

Also, as time moves on you need to keep replenishing your food supply in your back packfrom the food in the duffel bag.

Paul Sheehans ultimate Wood / Esbit stove

http://www.backpacking.net/makegear/sheehan-

stove/index.html

Paul Sheehan developed this stove as an alternativeto the larger wood stoves that weigh more and takeup more space in my pack. This stove is as small asyou can get for an effective wood stove. It cannot

boil huge pots of water like the bigger ones but itcan bring 2 to 2.1/2 cups to a boil with just one loadof wood. You can feed it more wood and stoke thefire, but it takes work. You can also throw half anEsbit tab in as the fire is dying down and after itignites you can add a bit more wood for a reliablefire. With one charge of wood and a good fire youcan get 4 cups of water to boil. This set up is alsodesigned to burn Esbit, Trioxen or other Hex Tabswhen there is no wood or it is too wet to burn well.

Other equipment or carrying deviceshttp://www.sherpacart.com/

As we grow older we are looking for toolsthat allow us to keep enjoying outdoor lifepassions. With the Sherpa Cart is oneperson can transport most of the gear fortwo people depending on terrain andones physical abilities. The cart can beused to carry backpacks to a base camp

where day trips allow hikers to go deeperinto rough, rocky, or steep terrain.Inexperienced, less-active campers, andparents with small children can now havethe means to participate in outings withrelative ease. Also, many people are ableto get out only a few times a year and arenot always in the kind of shape it takes tocarry a backpack.

Carts-Convert a golf cart or joggingstroller into a carrierhttp://www.rbarkerphoto.com/PhotoCart-color.html

Thinking about adapting a golf bag pull cart (cart1), the Model TS4060 Stow-A-Cart is made byTartan Sports. The unit is well-constructed, andsufficient to carry 50-75 pounds of gear, weighs

about 7 pounds, and folds to a compact size.

By placing the shoulder straps of backpackover the upper golf-bag support on the cart, thebackpack straps can be used to lash thebackpack securely to the cart. Adding a smallbag or pack between the wheels of the cart, atent can be supported on the underside of thecart, with the tent being strapped to the upperpart of the cart's handle, just below theextension.

In this configuration, the weight of the packsthus requiring only minimal downward pressureon the handle to raise the foot of the cart fortravel. The extended wheels provide a widestance (27" across) for the cart, and the widesurface of the wheels should provide bettersupport in soft dirt and sand than a cart withbicycle-style wheels. The wheel bearings aresealed, and the wheels release quickly fromthe cart frame for storage.

The added weight of the second bag below thepivot point, however, makes the configurationless comfortable to pull, but is certainly betterthan carrying the bags yourself.

Possible additional modifications includeadding some form of light-weight lateralsupport beneath the bags to provide additionalresistance to the bag twisting on the narrow

center bar of the cart. Although cross-lashingthe bag at the upper golf-bag support seems toprevent twisting, the additional lateral supportmight prove convenient in the field. The trickwould be to design it in such a way as not todiminish the compactness of the folded cart.
