BLR Project just got real.

True...in the video, I did wonder why no one had more than one light in the room...except the shot of the inventor who had maybe 8 of them


Maybe something like   "In the land of no lights, the one light room is king"

May be. 

On an unrelated note: That sounds like the "big gov't" mindset the libtards have concerning guns, eh??

Yeah....  The whole world is at risk from being destroyed by the one gun you have, why would anyone need more than that.

That...and the "In the land of no guns, OUR gun is the biggest."

Using this thread to continue my BugOut/GetHome/CarKit ideas:

I'm composing a full length treatise for posting in a separate thread, which we go into more detail on the rational for carrying or not carrying some things.  But for now I thought I'd update this thread on each of the three steps. 

For my travel and life style, I need three bags:  An everyday Car Kit, good mainly for overnight comfort and safety in bad weather.  A Get Home Bag for trips outside my local area which will support us for several days till we get back home.  Finally, a true Bug Out Bag for when home must be abandoned.

Here's the final Car Kit, utilizing a base kit from prepareWise preparewise.com.  It's their Essential 2-Person Survival Kit.   I've added a few things and substituted a better flashlight for their model.

Stock Car Kit
1    Back pack
1   Rubber Flashlight (D)
2   Light Stick 8 hours

2   Tea Candles
1   Bic lighter, water proof matches
1   LED Tactical Light (AA)  (Dorcy HiFlux)
1   LED Work Light(AA) – (Dorcy 72)

Of course, I have my CCW and there are some other things in the car, like extra blanket and towels, but the kit is designed to grab and go if the car is abandoned.   There are so many things that could be added, but I think this will keep us save and comfortable if stuck around town.  I actually put together two of these, one for each car.  Trying to also keep it under 10 pounds.  Simplify.   Simplify. Simplify is the key word.  I've taken out a number of things from when I first started.  For example there's no need for spare batteries because of the short duration. 

The other kits will compliment and add to the capabilities.  This one is just for an overnight interruption while driving around town.   

Working on getting the next Get Home (long distance travel) kit assembled before I go to the Southern Regional Revolver Championships next month.

I don't see anything to use the can opener or spork on...

Good observation.  Nor do you see sugar or creamer.  The spork and opener are to take advantage of any food found or offered.  Feeling is that for a single night it's not worth stocking or carrying food, but it's nice to be able to eat it, comfortably, if you find it.

If nothing else you should at least add some packages of instant oatmeal.

Looks good. Didn't see anything for dealing with GSW's or other major trauma, or maybe I just missed it. I like to keep a C.A.T. tourniquet, Israeli bandage and a small Quikclot bandage in my car and in my range bag, just in case.

you may find some ideas here... LDS has been doing this for a long time

Les, I hadn't read anything from LDS, because I tend to think of them as "stay-at-home prepardness" not so much "bug-out".     I will though with your link.  Thanks.

Kevin,  I debate back and forth about what goes in each level and what doesn't.  Israeli bandages are so neat, you're probably right.   Never thought about putting one in my range bag.   Good idea.
