If the shit hit the fan, what would be in your bug out bag?

Is that to shoot yourself?

If needed, but I am fortunate as they tell me I have at best 2-3 more years to deal with this current Bull Shit. But, I do feel very sad for my grand- and great-grandchildren, it looks more and more as though the greatest nation this world has ever known is going down. The personal responsibility required by true liberty and freedom are to much for average people to handle.

Democracies an Democratic Republics fall apart when people find they can vote themselves boons from other people's wallets...

And after saying that, you're going to take other peoples stuff at gunpoint?

Also it should be water resistant, and also be able to survive EMI from a gamma ray burst, EMP, or solar flare.

I have an old soviet analog multimeter. Pretty sure it would survive being shot from a cannon, possibly damaging the cannon in the process.

Bonus points: You can probably clobber someone with it.

I thought the premise here was that the "ShIt Had Hit the Fan"? My Uncle Sam taught me to survive, two tours in 'Nam rubbed it in...

Fair enough, but you can hardly take the high ground about "boons from other people's wallets" if you are quite happy to become an armed robber.

Never said I'd be "happy" about it, however I and my family will survive. 'Til you've been in a life or death situation you have no idea what you can do--they told us going in that it was "kill or be killed"...  As General Patton said, "No one ever won a war by dying for their country, you need to make the other poor S.O.B. die for his."

How about a digital rangefinder (sorry, couldn't help myself)...
