So are you starting fresh, all new items, thoughts and concerns.

Yeah, there will be a whole new arrangement once I get it here. I will map it out and update this thread. The main thing is the strength and endurance that will need to be allocated for to carry this large ruck and a STOMP bag.

Yeah, I got a NOS Large ALICE ruck (what I used way back when, go with what you know) and LBE, enough canteens to haul 1.5 GL, and a buttpack for quick missions. 

I figure my packing list would keep me going for a few days without the necessity of hunting.

And it's really for in the event of being separated from / having to abandon my minivan-based bugout system.

Comes down to it, I've got three levels of bugout...

1.  Oh crap, get outta town

2.  Oh $#!+, get away from the van

3.  Oh 4king #3!! start running!

I would be interested in the rational for the items you select.

The ruck has landed. Will work up a load out for it over the next couple of weeks.

While not "tacti-cool", an Osprey backpacking set up might be a bit more useable if you're actually planning on carrying this on your back.
