My Apocalypse bag

[ripley16]

My wife keeps a "get out of D.C." bag under her desk at work, (5 blocks from the White House). One of the items she keeps is cash; $100 in her wallet as emergency cash and a couple rolls of quarters. My biggest fears for her are a dirty bomb, a truck bomb or a takeover by shooters. The heads of her business do practice drills, but being in D.C., she is unable to be armed. I can't wait until she's able to retire.

Looks like you've got everything covered Melissa. I don't take that much gear with me when I'm deer hunting in the mountains!

Melissa,

Knowing you a little bit from this forum I'm surprised no compact "Two Edged Sword" or maybe just the book of Psalms. Might mean more than all rest of the stuff combined.

I've got King James on my iPhone, but I guess it would be wiped out in an EMP. Thanks for the reminder, Bill K.

Just a thought, but you could do either an SBR AR or an AR "pistol/firearm". I have both. I did the "firearm" when the ATF changed their interpretation of the rules lately on having front pistol grips for guns over 26"; and also stated that the buffer tube with a cap on the end is not a stock. You can set up a non-NFA gun that is pretty easy to shoot, but still as short as an SBR. Mine is actually 29", but still pretty handy. It gets me a full rifle caliber gun and of course shares mags/accessories with my ARs. No extra paperwork like my SBR required. I am not a big fan of the Kel-tec stuff. Just seems cheap in terms of materials. I know many people have Sub 2000s and do not complain. YMMV I suppose.

I'm not really wild about Keltec either, but I've read really good reviews on the Sub2k. I'll also take a look at an AR pistol. Thanks for suggesting that.

No batteries needed!

I did some research on the Sub 2k today. I want one! It looks like a blast to shoot, and a capable enough weapon. However, I still think that you leave the pistol calibers for your pistols, and use your rifle to bring the heat and keep your distance. The AR pistol is a great option for the size and weight. The trusty old AK with a folding wire stock is small, but heavier. I think I found a neat compromise in the kel tec SU 16D. It is a short barrel 5.56 that folds in half, and weighs 4.7 lbs with 30 round mag. Only problem is I do not believe they are on the market yet, but their big brothers go for about $575. If weight is a big concern it might be worth looking in to. Just my $.02.

I bought three 22 round Big Sticks and a ballistic belt pouch for my G27.
That's my short barreled, pistol caliber, AK LOL!

Unless I missed it, I would throw in a decent compass.

My little truck bag is much smaller, but consisits of a S&W 642 and extra Bianchi speed strip, compass, magnesium fire starter, a WWII little can opener, a lockback knife, and a 200 lumen Surefire G2XPro flashlight. I figured that would get me started. I also keep other stuff in the truck that would go with me as well.

Definitley need to add a Bible.

In the 1st picture, the little key chain hanging from the bag is a combination compass and thermometer. Not sure how good it is though. Found it at the Coleman outlet.

Don't forget the little things that help you feel human; a toothbrush and wet wipes would be wise additions.

Thanks! I've been working on that and have added a personal hygiene baggie with a sample size toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, lotion, soap, and shampoo. Also, in the miscellaneous picture, the little purple packs are wet wipes.

Just added more to my food supply: packet of tuna, chewing gum, individual packets of coffee, creamer, sweetened koolaid, and butterscotch candy.

Added more to my first aid baggie: anti-diarrhea tabs, cold & allergy tabs, tweezers.

Decided to add a lightweight tent...2 lbs and ditch my folding shovel.

Melissa, here is a reply I got from Kel-Tec about the lack of availability of Sub 2000s, and my reply to them.

Hi Ericka,

Well, doesn't this backorder situation suggest that you increase production of this model? A lot?!

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

We’re still making them regularly; it’s just that there’s many on backorder. We divide them evenly between our 30 wholesalers every month, but they have long backorder lists that need to be filled before they can fill newer orders. Since we ship to wholesalers, then they to dealers, there’s no way for us to know where or when they will ship the firearms. If you’ve placed an order or are looking to, it will depend on which wholesalers your dealer uses (or hopefully, multiple), if they still have backorders to fill before filling newer orders, as well as how many the wholesalers have on order with us.

* Unfortunately, we only sell only to the wholesalers, then they to the dealers, so I don’t have the listings you need. I can only suggest online or the phonebook and calling them to find out if they carry or can order what you’re looking for.

Thanks,
Ericka

Jfootin, I would think they would increase production until they had a surplus in their warehouse. The sub2k seems to be a hot commodity at the moment. Hopefully, I will find one at the gun show tomorrow.

Melissa, If you are looking for a K-T sub 2000 as of last Sunday "Range, Guns, and Safes" 4025 Pleasantdale Rd Bldg 100 Atlanta, Ga 770-447-8900 had two of them 1 in .40 and I'm not sure of the other or the price...Not too far from you if you just have to have one...Was there shooting and saw one on display and they are a nice looking rifle and now I want one among with about a dozen other guns I can't afford...
