In my house the "battle rattle" is the easy part. What's really hard is getting my kids moving quickly to pack for even the most basic camping trip. It's like pulling teeth. Teenage daughters raise the difficulty level substantially.

Repeated exercises. "Grab one bag, you can carry. We're leaving in 10 minutes. Take only what you *need* for the weekend." Actually leave in 10 minutes. Take a day trip/overnight.

A little over a year ago we had to leave our house/town due to a chemical fire at a local plant while my wife was pregnant… our “go bags” were very survival/“tactical” and not practical for that kind of situation. Now we have most things organized in tote bins in the garage and it’s helped us in many ways. We know where everything’s at, more room due to proper organization and spur of the moment trips/activities are streamlined. Want to go camping? Grab the camping tote. Basically everything is staged in its own kit and we can pull from one to scale up the other depending on what we’re doing. Cold/warm/wet weather bins with appropriate clothing also staged in there so we don’t even have to think about what kind of outfits we’d want.

It took 4 years to assemble multiple go-bags of mostly different kit for different scenarios: bug out; get home; SHTF; bug in. I was beginning to think I was paranoid and bat shit crazy. Hell, maybe I am, but looking at the world now, I'm convinced I was/am not! If things go south, and I need to be in a state of operational readiness (whatever that might look like at the time) I'm there in less than five. I'm no young man any longer, but I workout everyday except Sunday. That's the Lord's day. Anyway, my family and I still might not make it, but it won't be for lack of as much preparation and training as possible. God bless us all.

Randall, an "Equipping the Warband" series might be good. Gear you've found to have good value that can be passed out when Cousin Bob and his kids show up. He's got a 38 and a lever gun (because he's from a shit hole state), but nothing else. You need the help on watch duty. What to give him? WRSA used to have a "15 Fighters" series, dedicated to "how do I get some "good enough" gear to kit a warband that's assembled around me. Not so much a stack of ARs and mags (because not many of us have 10k laying around), but at least get a way to keep them warm and dry and with a belt of pouches, a ranger roll and over tarp, a Morakniv and cook set.

We're trying out cloth diapers for their reusability in austere conditions, but hopefully we can get her potty trained soon.
