To clarify. Fast and light is fantastic, I agree with you on that. I have a smaller set up as well, with very basic items. Bare minimum. This is
what I would grab if I had to leave right now. Contents are a knife, small axe, water purifier, fire starter, basic fishing gear, and para cord. I
always carry a firearm and two spare clips with me as well.
However, my heavy bag rests in my truck. Provided the time constraints, should I have the ability to take my larger gear sack, I would.
Just because I can survive out of doors with very little gear, doesnt mean that I must. Say for instance, I need to go in January. Where I am, a
little extra gear can be the difference between life and death.
As far as being a burden to fellow survivors. Ive mentioned in a different thread awhile back, I am currently set up on private land in the middle of
nowhere with some friends of mine. All I need to do is get to "camp" and we can take care of each other. Under the assumption that we will all be
arriving via different means, and at different times, I will be traveling alone, and wont have anyone to slow down.
Like I said, everyone has different needs. Some want to go it alone, and need to be very light and flexible. Others plan on having a stationary
setup.
