6 Day Mobile Re-Supply Bag.
Copied from http://civiliandefenseforce.com An awesome Website related to a Militia, but also has Valuable survival information.
"6 Day Mobile Resupply Bag
Here is a way to resupply yourself in the field or make small caches that you can take with you.Get a GI buttpack ($10 off ebay) and a GP strap. Hook the strap to the buttpack to make it a shoulder bag. Depending on how you pack this might be all you can fit. Take out a days worth of food and you can add
I can fit 6 days supplys in one.
A delivery of this stuff by support personal (or dropped off and picked up at designated location) can keep you out without having to come in for supplies.
Also being in the buttpack, you can keep them made up and ready to go. Wear one over our shoulder, stick one in your pack or attach to the outside and you can easily be out 3+ weeks. The MOLLE buttpack with all the straps works well for this.
Cache some in a 5 gallon bucket. Dig up bucket, open and run.
You can also change the buttpack for desired items.
Maybe a battle pack with a couple bandoleers and a dozen charged mags to resupply you after an engagement?
If your being resupplied why not some water too? Two 2 or 3 liter bottles full of water, gator-aid etc tied together with some 550 cord around the neck so you can carry two in one hand. Add a small length of garden hose to the 550 cord so it won't cut your hand in half. Empty into your canteens, save the 550 and toss the bottles to leave no trace. "
RockyHarlow speaking here again.
A very good Idea is to have 12 or so already packed. 8 with Ammunition and Magazines, 4 with a 6 day supply of food.
Have you're boys at HQ set up a drop point in the field, then have them send a 4 man squad to drop then Camouflage them at a pre-established location, or have them send the coordanates to a GPS or cell phone.

Target pratice.
So, you have an AK-47, 15 30 round Magazines, 10,000 rounds of 7.62x39mm, and an LBE or Tactical Vest. Now what? Let it sit and rust? NO! Get it out to a damn Shooting Range and PRACTICE. Shoot at the rifle range at paper and steel. But don't stop there! Run Tactical drills.

The Importance of an LBE in a Shit Hits the Fan Situation.
An LBE is a gear carrying system commonly used by Military personnel. Web gear is commonly referred to as an LBE or Load Bearing Equipment, an LBE commonly uses a Set of Suspenders, a Pistol Belt, and a Set of Pouches. There are several types of Pouches, such as;
- Magazine Pouches.
- Canteen Pouches.
- A Buttpack - Like a Miniature rucksack used for carrying survival supplies and spare ammunition.
- First Aid/ Compass Pouches.
- Dump Pouches.
- Etc.
An LBE is used in primarily in a wooded area for maneuvers, it is where all of you Fight and Survival gear goes.
(In Picture, the Buttpack goes where the Poncho is.)
An LBE is customizable to the size of the user, Most LBE's use ALICE (All purpose Individual carrying equipment) equipment that incorporates metal clips that fit over the pistol belt and hold the gear into place.
LBE's can be made for under 100$ Under 50$ if all parts are used.

First off, I'm sick of hearing it, use what works for you! weather it be .223 Remington, 7.62x39, 5.45x39mm, or even a damn .22! But here are some Pros and Cons of some calibers anyway.

Moral after the shit hits the fan.
So your living in your attic, or in the woods. You are Bored as Hell, and you daily work is done. you are not doing guard duty tonight, what to do...
So some Moral boosters for in the field:
Candy
- Peppermints, butterscotch, gummies, chocolate, etc.
- Hot coffee, hot or cold (Depending on climate) tea, Hot soup, lemonade, kool-aid, etc.
Recreational
- Paper and colored pencils.
- Board Games if you have little ones.
- Alcohol; Little airplane bottles in your LBE or B.O.B and Maybe a 5th or two in your stockpile. Your best bet is Whiskey and Grain alcohol, because they will work as Sedatives as well.
- Cards, 2 decks.
- Pornography, yes naked women do make men happy. paper not videos.
No drugs at all except for OTC or Prescription.
The only exception to this rule is Marijuana, Marijuana can be used for pain relief, or even in large quantities, to get a squad of enemy troops high, AKA easy picking or easy POW's. Now I'm not advocating the current use of Marijuana today, but after the Shit Hits The Fan it will be useful, and might even be a Valuable Barter Item.

Wilderness Survival Rifle.
Meet the Crickett
a .22LR rifle.
30'' total.
2.5 pounds.
Single Shot Bolt Action.
You can mount a scope.
120$ at Gander Mountain in store.
You can break the rifle into 2 pieces and store in a bag (Such as your Bug Out Bag) and 500 rounds (Also known as a brick) of .22LR weighs as much as 50 of 7.62x39 or .223 Remington ammo. Ammo is Cheap, available, and light as a feather. You can get specialty ammunition such as tracers, SSS (Sniper Sub-Sonic), hyper velocity, and powderless silent ammo, which are all very cheap as well.
I have nothing against .223 Remington, 7.62x39, .308 Winchester or the like, or rifles in the calibers, in fact I encourage people to have a battle rifle for SHTF, but this is a WILDERNESS SURVIVAL Rifle, for your Bug Out Bag, not battle.
You can bring down a Deer, or even a Bear with a well placed shot, or a single human enemy at 100-200 yards.
I know for a fact, because I have witnessed it, a .22 can make a 400 yard shot, and still nick a steel plate.
