It weighs about 17 pounds.  Depending on the airline I might at times need to shuffle some stuff into my carryon or checked bag but I usually fly business when I fly to the South Pacific so they generally let me be.

Oh, the vaccines absolutely do not cause sterility and those false assertions are based on a question someone had about the spike protein and placenta (?), not actual evidence.  There is actual evidence Covid causes male sterility iirc.  

No vaccine completely prevents infection except for maybe smallpox.  People who get vaccinated will get Covid, they will be sickened by Covid, and they will die of Covid, they will just do it in vanishingly small numbers compared to the unvaccinated population.  A vaccinated person getting infected is not a gotcha moment.  

Takeaway: humans are terrible at assessing risk.  

No, people with better training who are more organized than you will see it as a “free stuff here” sign in a disaster.  

I just bought a mystery ranch terraframe 50 and I love it.  

I just upgraded from an osprey farpoint 40 to a mystery ranch terraframe 50. I kept the osprey to take my go bag on planes but the mystery ranch makes more sense if I ever have to carry it any distance on foot.  The load out shelf is really useful.  

It’s expensive but it’s usb rechargeable so I can use my solar battery to charge it.  

So, I travel internationally often, many times to third world countries, and I’ve put a lot of thought into our water purification situation to be as lightweight and filter out absolutely as much stuff as possible.  Keep in mind I always have preps that will standalone but also work in conjunction with my husbands bag since we always travel together.   the solution I’ve come up with is to use a gravity bag system, a steripen and a wide mouth stainless bottle as my water bottle/cooking pot.   ive had to kind of cobble together my system since the platypus gravity system clean bag didn’t have a zip top bag.  I also replaced the enormous (and expensive) platy filter with a sawyer mini.  I can also use the dirty bag with inline filter as a hydration pack in a pinch if it isn’t hooked up to the clean bag filtering water.  So, water goes from the dirty bag, is filtered by the sawyer mini, goes to the zip top clean bag, I open the clean bag and use the steripen to remove viruses.  It’s the lightest, longest lasting and most packable system I’ve found to remove everything, but if anyone else has better ideas, please tell me.   for home we use a countertop Berkey.  

My BOB goes literally everywhere I go.  I was staying at an Airbnb in another state with a bunch of family members recently when the pipes under the kitchen sink started leaking.  It was nice to say “I’ve got this” and go get my multi tool and fix the sink.  I was also able to sharpen a dangerously dull kitchen knife, give someone earplugs when their partner was snoring, use my vet tape on a sprained ankle and help someone who had a hangover with Advil and electrolytes.  Everyone was joking and saying “what else is in her magic bag?”  and it kind of did feel like magic.  I also got several people interested in prepping and showed them my bag and what I keep in it.  

I carry one, plus I have a marine one because we are divers.  I also get travel insurance that includes extraction when I travel to places like the South Pacific.  

I would normally plan to leave if possible, except possibly an earthquake and I’m afraid of looting.  I’d go to a home we have in a rural area.  

Yes, my old one has worked well for five years.  I can charge my iPad twice and my phone several times. 

I live in SoCal and my preps reflect that.  Our concerns are earthquake, fire and civil unrest.   in the before time I had what I thought was a sufficient stockpile of P100 and Full face respirator masks because of fire and a child with severe asthma.  After a year of covid and having to rotate my masks I now know I need more.   my preps for home center around being able to endure a month or so with no power and high temps (lots of water and freeze dried food) and my go bag is centered around having to walk long distances with collapsed freeways to get home (robust shelter from sun, lightweight, moisture wicking, layered clothes, good shoes and hat, plenty of sunscreen).  However, we also travel to numerous countries that aren’t as developed as the US and there I pivot to carry more incest repellant, more water filtration, and more first aid (I will poach from home preps to bring extra abx and things like pred), especially since we are divers.   I have tried to achieve a certain synergy between my bag, my husband’s bag, and my child’s bag so if we are out together we can cover a wide range of scenarios.  I carry a collapsible titanium stove you can burn wood in while my husband carries a jet boil.  I carry an more extensive amount of medications whilst my husband has the more beefy trauma kit and my son carries the lions share of “boo boo” items.  I carry the gravity water filter while my husband has a sawyer mini with a backup filter and bag and my son has the aqua tabs.  All of us carry a life straw bottle.  My child is with or close to me 100% of the time so there’s less overlap there.  one thing Ive learned is critical is sleep so everyone has their own sleeping pad, sleep mask, blanket (we don’t live in a cold climate so this can be a very beefy emergency blanket/tarp that doubles as a footprint)and earplugs. I have a big Agnes tent I split between myself and my son when we travel alone.  I also carry melatonin.   we also try to vary the tools we carry.  We both have a knife and multi tool but I carry a handsaw and he carries an axe, he also carries the shovel.  He carries more stuff to repair the tent while I carry more zip ties.  His flashlight is more robust while I have the bigger and better radio.  We do travel to extremely cold climates once per year and my preps are different there.  I need more practice with that for sure. 

Even though it weighs significantly more I carry a power bank with an integrated solar panel.  These seem to be one time use items?  My power bank can charge any usb or usb c item.  All of my preps can run off of usb and/or AA batteries and I have usb rechargeable AA batteries.  I guess these would be useful if you lived in Alaska during the winter?  And as said upthread my power bank has a light.
