edit on 8-1-2012 by Speakerofthetruth because: (no reason given)

what other purposes are there ?

The only thing in my BOB is my wits, and understanding of how people react to disaster scenarios.

Most people run. They panic.

I'll take what they leave behind, especially all the conveniently gathered and packeged stuff that gets left behind in all the stalled out cars on clogged freeways that get abandoned when panicked lemmings feel forced to hoof it for lack of defensible shelter.

Rule 1: Don't panic. Let everyone else panic.
Wait, and then pick up all the goodies left behind. There will be more than enough.

If you run, you'll be running probably to where everyone else is running to, where, whoever else is already there is already locking up any resources you might be hoping to exploit.

Don't run. A huge urban area devoid of panicked lemmings, will offer a glut of resources, defensible ground, and if it's home ground already, you've got advantage of knowing the area.

A Swiss Army Knife is a thing of the past in the US. While it was fine for its day as folding pocket knife such as it is, the best solution would be one of the several brands of multi-tools. These are basically a pair of folding pliers available with a various assortment of other fold-out instruments about six to eight. The quality members of this field of tools are not cheap, but you can pick one that fits what you think you would need in a continuing survival situation. It could be about the single most important item that you can carry when TSHTF.

My sentiments exactly. Unless you suspect a nuke is going to hit your area then you should just stay put and fight for your home. Its not so easy to pack everything you will need and leave, never mind the hell you will encounter running for the hills.
