Alright let me start by saying that the point of this post is not to stir up crazy controversy or whether or not "End times" is a real thing. And while I may not be as tuned into current events (US and World) as I should be, it's not hard to see that there is a lot of messed up poop going on out there. Enough on that topic for now
I'm here to ask (in case it hasn't already), if you were going to build a "kit" or an inventory of stuff for camping + bugout/SHTF scenarios, how would it(if at all) differ from a standard camping setup? My young family and I, wife and 20 month old son, have decided that we'd like to begin camping for all of the positive reasons most people do it. We're basically starting from scratch. I've heard the less is more philosophy plenty of times and I like that idea. My wife is cut from a different cloth. She likes her hot showers and flushing toilets (who doesn't right?) so this is going to be a balancing act of simple, practical and utilitarian needs vs certain comforts. I'm also of the mind that if we're going to be buying this type of equipment/tools/etc, might as well buy things once. So to sum it up, I guess I'm looking for input on how you would construct a long-term, sustainable, camping setup for a "worst case scenario"?
Thanks for your time!
