How much of a loadout are you currently toting around?

In perusing range bags, tactical backpacks, water bladder backpacks, a variety of first aide items as well as MOLLE type bags and pouches for my guns, mags and ammo, I began to discover larger, more all-in-one solutions.

Now the question I have is: How much of a loadout might be considered sensible at this time?

Yes, a lot of it depends on where you live. The closer you are to an urban center, the more sense it makes to make yourself a one-man survival operation.

I should add to the list communications gear (a subject unto itself) and online essentials like a laptop, air card, Garmin or other map and GPS satellite unit, and so on.

In principle, one could go on adding "essentials" until you'd need a U-haul to go to the corner drug store. Drugs! There's another one. How many medications do you take each day and which ones are essential? You'll need to assemble as many of those kind of pills as you can.

And so on and so on... So, on an average day, when you tote your tubby ass to the ACME to buy you some free range eggs, or just leer at the girl behind the deli counter with the pumpkin-sized mammaries, what are you carrying?

 

I live at my BOL.... so I don't really have a BOB/INCH bag strategy. I do however have a GHB (3 day bag) that goes in my vehicle whenever I travel... and I've been rethinking it a bit as recent events have me incorporating a LVPC into the my travel strategy.
