[QUOTE="WTJ, post: 1586615, member: 6661"] In order to build it correctly, I would need to know a lot more about you and your preplan than you may be comfortable with sharing. Some examples: Method of travel (mounted, vehicle type, or dismount), resources at safe area, distance, potential threat(s), and so on. In building your own, you have an opportunity to mentally exercise your contingencies. The 72 hour rule is now 'officially' 96 hours if you plan to rely on .gov for your relief column. As with any .gov assistance, this will come at a substantial cost, the least of which will be giving up your right to protection. You will go from citizen to evacuee. This is the far end of the spectrum. If you are simply looking for a bag to get you from work to home, for example, this becomes easier. Calculate the longest amount of time it will take you, on foot, to get from a chosen point to your designated safe area using the 'safest' route devoid of potential obstacles. That will give you a time frame for water and food. The rest of your equipment would be a enhanced survival kit (shelter, warmth, fire, first aid). The food, water, and defensive capabilities will have the most carry weight. ALWAYS have a good knife/multi tool. If you have a cost in mind, I can offer up some suggestions. Also, check out some of the books I will recommend to XD-9 below. They can help you get some ideas. [/QUOTE]
