Hi Guys,

Whilst I'm waiting for my stitches to heal and to alleviate boredom (and avoid any kind of work related activity), I thought I'd share some SKS 'shinyness' with you and show you the contents of my 'Bug-Out' bag.

There's lots of shiny goodies to look at and play with and the contents should suffice to cover any alien invasion/zombie attack and/or general armageddon scenario.

It's handy for a vehicle, anyway. I must point-out that I copied a lots of Wayland's ideas when it came to considering the contents.

The bag itself is a Snugpack Response Pac:

No space for that in my 'man bag', but if my personal injury claim get's me loss of earnings, I might add the keys for a new Landy! ;)

I know you have the laplander, but for the space they take up and the couple extra scenarios they can be used in, how about a wire saw? And also some form of water purification, either a milbank bag or some puritabs?

top bag of bits you have there though
