I'll try to be helpful, but I don't know your plan or your skillset so advice is going to have to be fairly generalised

Please feel free to comment and give advice as this is an on going project...
All kit is tryed and tested...

Low Alpine 35/45 litre rucksack
Waterproof dry sack
Plastic survival bag/biv Fine if this is a solo bag, if its a family bag you'll need shelter for everyone. As others have pointed out, orange plastic bags are great to not die on the moors but aren't the best option as a bivibag
3 season sleeping bag to fit in biv
Axe I've got a bit of a 'thing' about that kind of hatchet, still if you're happy with it
Knife Looks like a Mora or similar, can't knock them
Msr water purifier
Compass
Monocular Belt kit item
First Aid kit This needs to be bigger, only pack what you know how to use.... But pack heavy
6x ration packs (4000 calories)4000 each or total? What are they ?
20x crossbow bolts
Gorrila tape
1 litre water bottle (food grade)This should be on your belt-kit and something like a 3ltr water bladder in the big bag
Aliminium pans/kettle
Fuel burner What fuel does it use ?
Toiletries kit
Quick Escape Utility belt

Whats the Dry weight?
Does this fill the bag?
You should have at least a change of socks even if you don't have any other clothing (Although a set of dry clothes to sleep in would be a good idea)

I'll have a look at the beltkit later

Do you have somewhere to bug out to? Have you tried sleeping there in a 3 season sleeping bag using this kit? Has your family?

Location 1 -secure family members home...10 min walk or literally freewheel our car with our water/food supply in down hill to location.

Location 2 - secure work unit ... 1 hour walk or 15 min drive...fuel and its own generator system.

Location 3- Pre determined forest camp...40 min hike 5 min drive...cache, natural spring and 10 minute walk to underground reservoir(need to look into this more)

1...tried and tested.....works great (estimate a family of 15 could survive 3- 4 weeks with supply's already in place)
2...untested....would mean taking food, water and kit and family to location (for mass power failure but low threat)
3...tested...with tent which is cached only with 4 of us...full 15 family would be difficult

Sleeping bag in plastic bivvi is untested as of yet.... but in a situation where we had to go somewhere different then probably a life saver rather than a long term solution.

We are a family thats always wild camped for generations so were not too shabby

I'm a little less concerned reading that but I would still suggest some bag for the crossbow etc, you are wise to not leave it behind, but you need to keep it/them under cover at least until you are sure things have gone to hell.

Awesome! Wish I could say the same.

I seem to remember being told that underground reservoirs can be dangerious? Maybe gas build up or something CO2?
Not sure.

Not sure.

Maybe... going to put some hard research in this year...plus i need to find the source of the resovoir too...a river is another 15 hike again from there but it isnt exactly known for being clean due to 2 factorys being up river.

#The bag is around 3/4 full with the utility belt inside main bag...ill weigh it this week
# Spare pair of socks and undies and a wooly hat each at least I agree
# Found Fiskars axe to be very good quality so far and its had some good work through it, although the handle can be slippy when wet...please enlighten me.
# Fuel is 8 blocks of hexamin and cheap folding stove...paid around £8 tried it camping in summer and was using 1-2 blocks to boil 1 litre kettle in mild breeze, but the smell in my bag is enough to look at a Folding firebox titanium, probs the nano and use whatever i can scavenge for fuel.? open to suggestions.

If you need to ask about the last part of the list then you arent ready to own them, so go reasearch on your own first, No offence

Your list looks good cannot fault this if all tried and tested
For bugging out you need to know whats happening around you therefore a wind up radio is essential, also a battery back up for your phone ect.
Not for everyone but a good dog is a must for me, they let you know if anyone is around your camp and also security........
If you get a small dog it will fit in your bag

Thanks.
Not worried about phones but is there a nice simple radio you can recomend?
We have 2 dogs american bully and a mini toy poodle. Not sure how good they would be tbh. There worse than kids and eat twice as much. I dont plan for either of them tbh. But thats another thread i think.
