I carry a basic load of 3 liters with the 2 liter MSR to supplement.
A 24 pack of water is usually in the vehicle and I bring 2-3 liters on the road for in vehicle drinking while traveling.

Fort Drum -used- to be the Cold Weather Training Center, until they transferred it to Ft. Wainwright in Alaska.
I'm was wondering what brand is the tarp. I had one for camping before the flood and all my stuff was stolen before I got back to my house. I'm trying to replace items, but I cant find that tarp anywhere.
I have one. Its manufactured by Outdoor Products, and I got mine at Walmart.

The OP blues are standard duty, the silvers are heavy duty, and cost 1.5-2 times as much varying by size. My soon-to-be-late store has them in (feet) 6x8, 8x10, 9x12, 10x20, 16x30 and 24x40. For a GHB I'd say a 9x12 at the largest, preferably removed from its store packing, shaken out, folded to fit, and if at all possible vacuumsealed.
I'd also recommend a 'brick' or two in fiat.
Kesephist fiat "brick"
2x$20
2x$10
6x$5
10x$1
Save for the fact that numerous people regard $2 as unspendable, I would have said 4x$5 and 5x$2.
In the movie BOUND, one of the bad guys is shown ironing fiat between two damp cloths, using a low temp setting iron. A stack of 20 bills new comes out to about a third of an inch thick. Regular handling, about a half inch. A quart Ziploc with all the air pressed out, folded over, and sealed, should do.
My GHB is always changing. I generally have just a small bag which goes with me everywhere. I have seen videos of people who have a GHB that weighs 60 to 70 pounds which is totally unrealistic. I try to keep mine small and portable so there is no reason to leave it behind. I generally am no farther than 5 to 10 miles from home so I am not looking at long term. The farther I go I do add things. My biggest problem is when I fly then so many things change.
One thing I make a differentiation from is what is in my truck and what is in my GHB. The truck is set up for INCH which can be used for resupply. In the truck is a larger backpack should I need it. My GHB is just that short term one day for me. When many people look at a GHB they don’t include a gun or ammo. My GHB since I am looking at short distance has a minimum of four loaded magazines.
For my wife I put together a small Rush 12 pack which includes a small boo boo kit, toiletries, socks, underwear, a light jacket, Bic lighters, knife, cash, phone list, a map of the area and state. Since she does not even care about having a bag I keep it limited.

So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
