Yep seen it. Did you even read my post? Theres a specific question there.
It's been discussed a million times already on here. You'll find a bunch if you search.
Go here to find out how deep the rabbit hole goes:
Survivalist Forum Survival Gear Reviews and Self Sufficiency Articles
Generally, water, food, shelter, medicle supplies, money, guns/ammo, cutting tools, and a bunch of other over priced stuff you will never use.
It's funny how it's 100% okay for the US military to prep for every scenario but if a civilian does it they're considered fringe. My question is why wouldn't you want to have food, water, and supplies stocked for a 3-4 week emergency? I have enough stocked that I can be a little charitable to a neighbor experiencing hard times or donate to the local food pantry. I have a bug out bag, it's a full framed army backpack. I set it up like I was going on a camping trip, complete with a 2 person tent, water purification, bottles of water, multiple fire starting, freeze dried food, clothes, tools, weaponry, camping stove, minor medical kit, lots of other things.

Prepping for military scenarios do not normally apply to stateside issues.
That said, it is a very good idea to have a reasonable emergency supply of basic goods in the event of a extended loss of various public services. Food, water, meds if you need them and cash are great starting points. Start with the actual needs, then transition to what you want in a emergency kit.
I have only gotten one good tip from watching those shows.
The plastic water bag that fits the inside of your bathtub.
Cheapest place I found it was at Cheaper Than Dirt

jesus that place has a 440rd can of 7.62x54R surplus for $130 shipped.
But he asked a SPECIFIC question.
They've had that for over a century now. It's called the National Guard.
To answer the OP's question:
Medical supplies
Fire starting supplies
Water
Water purifier
Tarp
Fleece blanket
Rain gear
Change of clothing
Energy bars
Dried fruit
Beef jerky
Binoculars
Flashlight
Batteries
Knives-large fixed and small folding
Handgun
Extra ammo
Paracord
Compass
Scanner
This all fits in a backpack and offers enough comfort to extend the 72 hours if needed. :coolman:

Oh good, then you agree with me.
This place is quite a bit cheaper that $130 shipped.

Cheaper than dirt is almost always more expensive than what you can buy somewhere else.
You got that right. I rarely buy anything from cheaper than dirt.
you just inspired me to take a 2-3 days winter campin trip!
been a few years since i did that...just gotta find someone to go with me (thats always the hard part, and they will never go again lol)
I love winter camping. Spent a month 300 miles north of the arctic circle in February living in snow caves. many months in the mountains of the north east. Alas now I live in FL so will probably never go again.
