Wiley and Irishguy are both spot on. I keep a backpack in my truck...it has everything I'd need to walk home, if necessary, from anywhere I might be. Food, water, ways to get more food and water, defense, shelter, change of clothes, etc. The pack is way heavier than I'd carry for any distance...it's 78 lbs...but if I ever truly needed it, a lot of stuff would be culled, depending on situation, distance, time of year, etc. That said, most of the time, your vehicle is the safest place to be, though. Once you've left it, what you have with you is what you have to work with. My truck is an F-250, it doesn't mind the 78 lb pack, so in an emergency, it'll carry that and me as far as possible before I ever think about culling anything.

I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.
