the one thing roadie would have to limit on (for legal reasons) is the firearm thing.
california is known for they're horrible anti firearm laws,and generally considered the worst state for the 2nd amendment.
im lucky,everything federally legal is legal here,an 18+ open carry w/ no permit and a shall issue 21+ ccw
i carry 1-3 firearms with me on any trip.
depending on where im going(state laws)
.22 goes me to whatever state it is legal in,it makes a great survival rifle,high capacity,lightweight,has a folding stock,which leaves it at the federal legal minimum overall length of 26 inches(applies to long arms only) when folded.
my 870 is general purpose,its legal in every state that i go to,works good for stashing in the vehicle or home and fits on my bug out bag.
and a 7.62x54R bolt action w/ bayonet. makes great for longer distance shooting,and being a larger centerfire rifle it has a very loud gunshot,which works good for signaling,the bayonet came on the rifle.
when im going to michigans upper penninsula i will stash all 3 in the TB
after i trek out on foot,i usually will grab the ruger 10/22 and then either the 870 or mosin nagant
depending on if i plan to hunt large game,or run into large game(i have had a run in with a bear once,that mosin works wonders)
im not huge on vehicle bug out,i keep 2 seperate bags for bug out,urban and wilderness,depending on the situation,but long story short theres the essentials in each bag for AT LEAST 4 days worth of survival,including a nuclear incident.
the TB does carry a tent and the storage area under the cargo bay has MRE's a few canteens and a first aid kit.
but enough rambling on.
bare min. i say (non vehicle dependent) is
water-1 quart min. canteen,area dependent
food-at least 48 hours worth of full meals.
shelter-at least a tube tent and emergency "space" blanket
misc-at least a good multi tool,preferably a fixed blade knife 4-6 inch blade non or partial seration and if possible a firearm in a common military caliber(country dependent),9x19mm, 5.56, .308 win
sorry if i rambled on too much,if you feel like its not relevent enough-feel free to delete the post,i wont mind as i understand that i have a rambling issue occasionally.
