I wouldn't use a chest rig at KKHD either. But I have a blackhawk tac vest, I keep it for storm season why have a bug out bag that you have to pick up and put down? With a vest you wear your supplies, this way if there's no lights you can sleep with your flashlight and emergency radio etc on your person. With a vest you can sleep on your back and sides relatively well and have added warmth. In case we have to leave island you are wearing your important gear and you don't forget them and harder to steal from you. Worse case scenario rescue teams may say just what your wearing. For some of you yes, the zombie apocalypse.

Didja notice this at the bottom?

If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact the store owner.

Run into this a lot with automated shipping sites, will not include USPS as an option and you have to email or call.  So far i have had success with this and it is far cheaper.

No UPS means no money to Teamsters union as well.

whoa whoa whoa, you have a bug out bag?  in Hawaii?  where are you gonna bug out to?  you are stuck in the middle of nowhere with no help for over 2000 miles.  if there is a zombie apocalypse, we are all pretty much screwed as I doubt people from the mainland will continue to send us food shipments and oil/gas.  seriously, I don't understand why people even bother prepping in Hawaii.  there is not enough food on the island to sustain even 1/50th of the population for very long after supplies from the mainland stop and its gonna be people and zombies eating each other until there are just a few thousand left and then its not gonna be very much longer till they whittle each other down to a few hundred.  Out of a million people, I doubt very many of us will survive or would want to at that point...  Lets say you had a million rounds or better yet 2 or 3 million rounds of ammo, how many are you gonna be able to fit in to that bug out bag? 

now lets say there is a realistic natural disaster.  They are not gonna let you take any type of weapons into any shelter and have you ever seen a riot or looting in Hawaii before?  What are we, south central L.A.?  Hawaii has a very strong police and military presence and if martial law does occur, I doubt any type of bug out bag is gonna help you bug out or get to anywhere the "Law" can't get to you.  It's sorta the same reason why we don't really have very many bank robberies (I mean unless your a total moron, you don't rob banks or go for high speed car chases in Hawaii!).

We should prepare for the emergencies and disasters which we think are likely.  That is common sense.

We should also prepare for the unknown, for those are the events which will prove most difficult. 

Just like owning guns or carrying concealed ... you don't prepare by purchasing a pistol and practicing because you know what threats await you.  You have them for the situations you can't predict.
