best backpack stove reviews image
Q. Whether it be for the coming zombie invasion, aliens, or a simple nuclear holocaust, what would you stock in an underground survival shelter?
Please give examples of dried roadkill meats, and also how many hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammo is the bare minimum?
Anything else helpful would be appreciated.

Answer
You may be interested to see the movie "Blast from the Past" (1999) A paranoid scientist Calvin Webber (Christopher Walken) and picture-perfect suburban wife Helen (Sissy Spacek), in the midst of the fearsome Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), the Webbers witnessed a blast they thought must be the Big One, but was actually a plane crashing into their yard. So they ensconced themselves in their elaborately engineered bomb shelter to wait out the half-life of radioactive contamination for 35 years.
That is by far, the best engineered shelter. It has hydroponically grown vegetables, personal fish farm, chickens who lay eggs, a generator to run the TV and VCR and is stocked with all sorts of things a person might need. Their son, Adam (Brendan Fraser) is born in the shelter and later emerges to a world very different from the one his parents knew and falls in love with a girl, Eve (Alicia Silverstone), who helps him sell baseball cards and stock certificates so his family becomes quite rich.

For an emergency that is not so devastating, a person may need water, food ( canned with opener) blankets (sleeping bag, pillow), flashlight with batteries (kerosene or propane lamp also propane stove), candles and waterproof matches, butane lighter, radio (with batteries) board games (chess, go, backgammon) and prescription medications. Just put the essentials in a duffel bag or backpack. Keep your kit somewhere easy to find, like the trunk of the car or next to the back door, and make sure everyone in the house knows where his or her kit is.
* Every once in awhile you should check your "kit" because batteries run down and food expires, (water can be stored longer in a glass container). *
I once had to tough it out for over a week because the power lines were down due to an ice storm (power company kept extending time for repairs). I was totally unprepared. Also, in summer, the electricity sometimes goes out because of a/c overload and food in the refrigerator spoils. So, I would say, at least consider getting a generator and having a stock of bottled water. A person may have to "survive" even if it is not in a shelter.
When there is a disaster such as a hurricaine or flood, the Red Cross usually comes with supplies and temporary shelters may be set up.
You can also learn "survival" skills, like living in the woods with a knife, safety pin, string, compass and learn lashing to build a temporary shelter....such as you might learn in boy scouts/girl scouts or the military. It is a good skill for camping and the backyard barbecue if you learn to start a fire.
Road kill and ammo? Well, maybe you have too harsh of a scenario in mind.

I am in the market for a backcountry bag and I am not sure what I need?
Woo
I will most likely be doing 1-2 nights most often. Though I could be out for at most 4 nights. I am not sure what size bag I should get. What is the difference between Backcountry bags and Backcountry- Ultra light bags? Is 50 L enough room?
Answer
You are looking for a backpack. The ultralight backpacks are not much of an advantage. I do not like the way they take away compartmentalization in order to save a few ounces, that you later add back by needing to buy stuff sacks to compartmentalize your gear.
Save money and purchase about a 70 Liter - 90 Liter backpack, unless you are very sparse with your gear. In order to get a lightweight sleeping bag, pad, stove, cooking pack, food, water bottles, clothing, jacket, and tent inside a backpack, you are going to need a 70 Liter - 90 Liter backpack for trips from overnight to longer-duration trips.
Unfortunately, summer is the worst time to buy a backpack because everyone is on the market. Therefore, no store is going to put gear on clearance sale. Look at backpack reviews. I did. However, my first backpack was only a 50 Liter, so it was too small from the start. Subsequently, I bought a 70 Liter that has served me very well.
