A write up from a friend who about what your “Innawoods” bag should have. Whilst lots of items are easily accesible and it never hurts to be prepared, i will say that spending thousands of your money is not the answer. Don’t forget that abunch of Croatians fought a war in cargo shorts and flip flops, same goes for the early days in Donbass. It is my personal opinion to pack light and remain on the move until regroup with like minded peoples.
In this file you will find a basic list of necessary items you should have in your Assault/Day pack for any SHTF scenario. The point of this equipment and setup is to survive for a
prolonged amount of time in a remote location closest to you, in the event of a major catastrophe, and/or to evade any organization, gang, armed group/milita, terrorist organization,
or organized military force that seeks to track you down and eliminate you for any reason. These items will ensure your personal safety, well being, and assist in your ability to locate,
evade, and eliminate any potential threats within your physical and mental ability.
