| | | In the interest of being able to follow a spontaneous whim, I carry a lot of shit around with me everywhere in my "Adventure Bag." The idea is to be able to explore something shiny I might find during regular activities, entertain myself if I'm stuck somewhere, or be able to get home to my family in case of emergency (read as: Zombies).

Map of the metro area Paper Pens/markers Ziplock bags (empty) Clif Energy Goo Compass Emergency whistle Emergency blanket Hand sanitizer Folding knife Back-up folding knife Flashlight Back-up flashlight Special Purpose Additions Extra flashlight Appropriate footwear (usually boots) Digital Camera (small point-and-shoot or DSLR set-up, depending) Flask of Scotch (a good 12-15 year single malt) Extra 550 cord Lockpicks (rarely - only if benefit outweighs cost) Fixed-blade knife (rarely - only if benefit outweighs cost) Walkie-talkie with ear-piece (if in a group) Camelback Hydration system ("concealable" 50-oz or regular 100oz) ED Car: Winter Jacket Emergency Blankets (mylar and fleece) 3-days Emergency Lifeboat Rations Extra Batteries Collapsable shovel (and carrying pouch) Shitty FAK Shitty Flashlight Missing: Decent First Aid Kit Hi, my name is John and I have a problem...

| | | Pearl of wisdom: If you carry a map or a blue print of the places you explore or intend to explore, always keep it on you and NOT in your backpack. If you ever get caught and you tell the cops you hadn't plan on entering the building, you were just passing by and you just wanted to take a few pics, your story will probably seem more believable if they DON'T find a detailed map or blue print of thesaid building while searching your backpack. Don't leave it in the car either if possible. Last year, I went to some abandoned buildings and my car got towed by the cops ($ 96...grrr) who thought we were metal scrapers. In my car, they found a Google itinerary from my hometown to the village where the buildings are. Fortunately, the map wasn't detailed enough to demonstrate we had planned on visiting those particular buildings.

| | | Posted by CanadianRhian What are the carribeaners for? just currious. I usually do carry something that's been worth while - I have a pair of police issue Hatch brand puncture resistent kevlar gloves that have come in handy a couple of times (damn, rusty nails).

I like to clip my water bottle, gloves, jacket, things I do not want to drop but have access to onto the outside of my backpack or to my pants.

About 40$ for a basic P-100 mask. As for the rest, everyone has different equipment so it's hard to tell...What do you intend to buy exactly?
