in for infoI have an idea for a design for a holster that would let you secure a loaded gun and it be virtually theft proof and incapable of being disassembled but could be easily removed by the owner.

I consider myself to be a fairly prepared person, due to constant travel for the past 17+ years, I stay in a constant state of situational awareness - I am always identifying a potential way out when I enter a new environment. That being said, over the past few days I have been contemplating a situation that I would appreciate some input on. My job requires that I drive all over the country (to the tune of around 4,500 to 5,500 miles a month), although I feel that I have my truck pretty well equipped as a BOV, I have been contemplating what I should carry in my BOB in the event that I may have to go by foot. I am not always traveling on main highways, sometimes I may drive for hours on rural roads depending on where my project is located (I'm driving to Wichita, KS tomorrow - with a quick stop in Oklahoma) so there is no telling what I would be encountering - I am also trying to keep in mind that I may be in Chicago in December and Florida in August so preparedness for different climates would need to be taken into account. I have an idea of what I should take (dry rations, water, ammo, firearm, etc, etc, but I am hopeful that those of you who already prepare like this would be able to shed some light on itmes that I may not have taken into consideration! Thanks for your input...
One thing I noticed is you said water. Not so much water as a Lifestraw type water purification tool. You can not carry enough water to last more than a day. You MUST be able to purify it on the fly.
My choice of SHTF gun is a marlin/Winchester 30/30 with a sidecar ammo sleeve on the stock(total of 16 rounds in/on the gun and another 20-40 in my GHB). The 7 round magazine capacity and lever action are legal in just about every state so if you have it in your truck in Illinois you are still legal. And a 30/30 hit's like a sledge hammer.
