[QUOTE="WideLoadTimmy, post: 2009907, member: 12926"] Some friends of mine have talked about this and decided we'd go as a group. Tony is the best shotgun shooter in the group so he'd obviously be designated shotgunner. My skill level with a pistol is better than anything else I've used, simply due to the lack of experience with anything else so I'd be more comfortable with my XD .45. I can hit with a rifle at long range, too, so I'd be willing to carry an AR-15 or a bolt gun. I'm building an AR anyways. Nate already owns and isn't too bad with his Marlin 795 and .22lr is cheap and light. So the thinking is: Me - XD .45 and 6 loaded mags +200 rds .45 AR-15 and 6 loaded mags 200 rds 5.56 Extra mag springs, oil, cleaning kit. Extra barrel for the .45, .22lr AR conversion w/ 3 mags 500 rds .22lr 100rds 12ga Tony - 12ga + 200 rds assorted XD .40 w/ 6 loaded mags +200 rds Extra mag springs, tube spring & follower Cleaning kit, oil Nate - Marlin 795 w/ 6 loaded mags and 1K rds of .22lr 200 rds 12ga assorted 6 extra replacement mags Cleaning Kit, Oil Map, Compass, flashlights, batteries, hatchet/machete and a crowbar. The thinking is to try and get to an as-yet-to-be-determined meeting place as quickly as possible and hopefully, have more supplies, a vehicle and a plan waiting for us. We'd use what we have, including several shotshell caddies that we use at Silverleaf, s couple duffels and backpacks. Tony has the biggest ammo burden with the size of 12ga so we figured we could all carry some and that would mean that we each have some of all of the ammo, in case someone loses or has to leave their BOB. An AR-15 begs for a .22lr conversion. Nate's burden is the lightest so we'd set him up with a few extras that could be passed around as needed.
