Vehicle Get-Home Kit Input (Patreon)
Content
Hello club house!
Thanks for your continued support here in TNPP. I am in pre-production of what will be my "Vehicle Get-Home Kit. " My approach will be different on this kit build b. I'm going to get your input before I film. I can't promise I'll use everything you guys bring up but I always see a lot of good ideas under my videos. This way I can incorporate some of them into the video. I think we all think alike so our approach will be similar I think.
POU on this kit: To get home. Not to fight a war, just to get to your desired location. It's an escape kit.
Foundation: Don't use unless you have to...if the situation is short term, wait it out. Try to always avoid conflict, negotiate, flee, and serve good people in the situation when possible. Kit will be for one person. No SAWC for more.
Situations where needed: Long term and probably sudden infrastructure collapse while you're traveling or away from your home base. Electricity, roads, EMS, and overall ability to drive to your preferred location becomes impossible.
Comms: Short range maybe but probably no long range (ie HAM). Most do not have a HAM setup on their vehicle...I know I won't run one that way. Also call calling someone in your clan to come and get you probably won't work anyhow: infrastructure is collapsed.
Weapons: AR15 or AK preferred as from the reviews (much philosophy delivered on this already!). Pistol backup? Yes. Rounds loadout for carbine: 120 min; For pistol: 100
LBE: Yes. Armor: Maybe
Extra clothing: Yes. Adapt to wx.
Water: Yes
FAK: Yes
Lighting: Yes
Pack: Yes
Tools: Yes. KISS principle
In shape: Yes
Time frame for support items: 3-4 days. You won't have SAWC capability beyond that and even that's pushing it.
All this is initial and highly subject to change but these are just some of my quick thoughts. There will be some similarity to my other kit builds because the needs are similar: USK, BOK, DSK. This will be the "VGHK." Really I could just pack up for backpacking, add in LBE and weapon system and the kit would be complete for me.
Now we want this kit to be realistic not foolish. Foolish means it's too big and heavy to carry around all the time; keep it real! Also please keep comments concise so I can get process them efficiently.
