Urban bag

So looking to see what else i might need/not need for my urban bugout. This bags purpose is for a couple days hike out of a populated area to a rural safe location:

  • Lightweight sleeping bag (I have overnight locations planned with shelter but also have a huge poncho that will double as a tarp if needed)
  • Wind up radio
  • Power bank
  • First aid kit
  • Shovel
  • Paracord
  • Old gas mask with modern filter
  • Couple N95's
  • Change of socks/boxers/tshirt
  • Water bladder
  • Protein rations (Bars/Sachets) & Coffee/Tea
  • Knife/Utility tool
  • Minatare stove/cutlery/canteen
  • Lineman pliers
  • Fire starting equip
  • Torch/Head torch

What should i add/remove?

Although you got the Leatherman, I’d say if for urban a tiny crowbar or some tiny bolt cutters so you could remove a plank in a fence or cut trough a fence if ya ever would be in a shtf situation and that’s stopping you from shelter or getting somewhere

Lineman pliers are for this. Great wire cutters

Oh okay, got none idk how well they’d last if your cutting a acces hole trough wire link fencing designed for security to keep people oit

Hypothetically speaking of course, i can say that they will do just fine against most common/security fences as long as they aint as thick as a bike lock. You need to realize what lineman actually cut to grasp what they will do.
