"the rifle and a backpack myth" is well worth reading... http://www.survivalblog.com/2009/09/letter_re_grub_and_gearlessons.html
Outstanding BLOG I read with great interest the part about the BOB and a rifle. I have often wondered how long one could realistically survive in the wild with only their well intentioned backpack and rifle. Good info for what is really needed to survive in the wild.
