I agree to all of that. Always makes me laugh to see people wanting to carry 400+ rnds three weapons and a 80lb ruck.

I agree to all of that. Always makes me laugh to see people wanting to carry 400+ rnds three weapons and a 80lb ruck.
"Failure to plan on your part, does not constitute an emergency on mine"
I love that quote. Oh I'll be honest I'll want to bring a kitchen sink with me, but unfortunately that's not the nature of bugging out. That's why caches and pre positioning gear is so important. And it's so under utilized by preppers. That's why I hate it when we got people that have a 80lb backpack filled with walmart specials. They are understanding the concept they just lack the proper mindset.
Well here is the year late weekend update.

You definitely added some cool stuff and your bag can carry you very far now. A very good job.
I like the idea of keeping a Cuff Key under your name strap COOL IDEA!!!! Also like that model of lock pick you have, I found a pair of folding bolt cutters off ebay (Northern Tool Has some as well I believe) but that might be a nice addition to further your kit.
The last thing I would add is a wireless tool box alarm (you can rig these to provide rear security on a BO).
Why not keep it- you never know
Thanks man! If anything, just thinking about ways to improve this thing helps pass time on the slow days at work.
Thanks! i was trying to find a way to hold the key while having quick access to it, w/o it being out in the open. I get asked "why do you even have one, you plan on running from the cops?" and I like to remind people that cops are not the only people with handcuffs. Bad people get them too.
Ive gotten pretty good with that lock pic too, ive had it for about 10yrs. If you watch the modern "Gone in 60 seconds", its the same lock pic Nicolas Cage uses to steal Elenor...cept his was red.
Ima hit ebay for those bolt cutters and alarm, sounds like good ideas defiantly.
Ive since changed to a Khar CM9 as my daily now, so I dont have the LCR anymore.

Carlo Nice Job Man strong work.
Now to confirm this is your get home bag correct?
Some things I would add
-Earth Toned color shirt....if you have to ditch work in a bright yellow polo shirt that may not be the best option.
-Change of socks...I am assuming you keep boots in your vehicle or wear boots daily?
- Small set of bino's or a Mono.....you don't want to be "bee-bopping" along and stumble upon un-friendly forces.
-Map (I see a compass but can't tell what kind it its....like animals not all compasses are created equal)
- Tourniqet? I don't see one but you have plenty of molle to rubber band one too
- I see one "Floppy Flask" but they are prone to leakes especially when you need them to work....may be a good idea to get a nalgene and pouch as a primary water container.
- Latex Gloves (I didn't see any on the check list)
-Contractor trash bags.....these things are my third favorite to duct tape, and 550 cord.
How far away do you work from home? How far will this bag sustain your needs? Do you have a means to secure this bag to your waist to keep it from slinging back and forth like a mail pouch?

How about paracord?
Nice set up
