I've dipped into my kit on several occasions and was damn glad to have that ability.Yep. I travel all over the southeast in my job. Honestly I consider my bag like a spare tire or fire extinguisher, it’s there if the need comes up. I don’t carry a long gun, but do have my small carry pistol and several mags, an OWB holster, and mag carriers.
I’ve found myself sitting on the interstate for hours at a time, several times. After the major ****up of the former mayor of Atlanta during the big snowstorm, I will not be without a way to keep me or my family safe while on the road.
The only “SHTF” thing that I keep in the car is a handheld radio in a faraday bag, with a couple of spare batteries and multiple recharging options.
