My Bug Out strategy is to move by Jeep to my BOL if possible with the maximum amount of material and supplies as possible. IOWs, I intend to DRIVE to my BOL if possible, with everything needed for a sustained BO. If my vehicle is disabled for some unforseen reason or if driving isn't practical or safe, I intend to make multiple caches for all supplies that aren't in my INCH bag and continue slowly and deliberately on foot. My INCH Bag contains everything I need to make it to my BOL and sustain myself once I get there. My BOL is approximately 60 kilometers away from my house BTW.
Here is my INCH Bag and my Primary BO Fire Stick:

It weighs in at 93 pounds with water. Yes, I know it weighs a lot, but I don't intend on running 30 miles a day on the road like others. When I was in SF, we routinely moved extreme distances with 125-180 LBS rucksacks. I'm not a 22 year old SF Trooper anymore (and found this out on my bugout weekend described below


Here are the contents of my INCH on display:

Individual Components are as follows:
Load Bearing Vest (LBV)

It's a little outdated, but it's what I've carried in the bush since 1983. It has 6 individual mag pouches mounted on the chest and 6 Alice mag pouches on the belt. I also have two-2 quart canteens with a canteen cup, my ALCO Solution Knife, a drop holster for my .45 and 3 mags for it. It also has a pouch for my hand-held, map, compass, protractor and trigraph.
Shelter Module:
Three-Person Dome Tent, two military ponchos, 200 ft. 550 cord, extra tent stakes, zip-ties, 8 OD Green Bungee Cords and two "S" biners.

I normally wouldn't carry the dome tent if I were to bug out alone (I normally use 2 military ponchos), but I was leaving with my nephew, so I decided for comfort over additional weight.
Clothing Module:

I keep my clothing tight in a "Space Bag" that is then placed into a military waterproof bag.
The contents of the Clothing Module:

Heavy Norwegian Wool Shooters Sweater

Training shoes, to wear while boots are drying out or to bed if I am in a dangerous area.
For the Record: I also carry 3 Underarmour T-shirts and 5 sets of wool socks. I didn't think anyoune would want to see my underwear!

Food Module:
I carry 3 homemade LRRP/MRE meals for each day for a total of 15 days. I can ration my meals to last 45 days if necessary.

I have once again utilized space bags to compress the Food Module and the module is then place inside of a separate military water proof bag.

All meals are marked with date packed and total calories.

BUG OUT TEST WEEKEND
My 11 year old nephew and I decided to take a trip to the Bug Out Location to test our equipment , do some shooting and all that other sort of male-bonding shit. LOL!
Here we are getting ready to leave my house. Note the digital mods I made with to a Camelback Desert Camo pack utilizing OD Green spraypaint:


We arrived at our BOL a little late. We had to move X-country for 3 kilometers over mostly clear-cut terrain, full of knee-knockers and ankle breakers. I didn't have time to show my nephew how to make a primative fire, but I did teach him how to start up and use the MSR Whisperlite and make some pine-needle tea! :



Making the tea!

Pine needle tea brewing!

Delicious!

First nights' fire!

Bad Moon Raising!

Our Tent.

My nephew wearing his Survival Necklace.
Saturday Morning Shooting at the Range:




Later on that evening, I taught my nephew how to make a fire with a firesteel. He wouldn't put the ball into the firepit for some unknown reason so I let him do it his own way. Please don't laugh! LOL!

Once he got the fire started, we got chow cooking and had a great time watching "Ranger TV"!

We resupplied ourselves with water from a nearby stream using my MSR Waterworks filter before it got dark. (Win!) I froze my ass off using the Sirius Sleeping Bag. Only use them for camping above 70 degrees! Other than that it was a great night!
The next day (Sunday) we broke camp and went back to the shooting range:


I had a suprise waiting for my nephew...he got to shoot a 1919A4 Browning!



He also got to shoot my SOCOM 16:

LESSONS LEARNED:
I'm not 23 anymore. But even at 50, I found out that I am still in much better shape than my peers and can still hump heavy loads. I'm glad I tested the Sirius sleeping bag and got rid of it before a real Bug Out situation occurs. Yes, it's lightweight but it is no way a 50 degree F bag!
The other equipment I've packed all works as adverstised and is very reliable. I carried my SOCOM 16 with a basic load on this trip because I don't need any problems carrying a full auto M-4 in a non-SHTF situation. The basic load of the 7.62mm was heavy as hell, but I'd still carry it in a SHTF situation if I couldn't get to my M-4.
It was good to get some one-on-one time with my nephew and to get him interested in survivalism. Hope to do it again real soon!
