I do some backpacking here and there and I try to do the minimalist thing without going too overboard.
Things I take:
-MSR Pocket Rocket camp stove and one SS tall 1.5-2L pot.
-parachute hammock ( just easier than a tent for me and VERY comfortable)
-Kelty lightyear 15 degree bag
-Mountain house meals and powerbars for light food travel
-about a hundred feet of para cord and a tent material tarp to string up for hammock sleeping
-ARMY foam sleep roll to keep the cold of my back
-SS "hotdog cooker" for cooking dogs on short trips or squirrels/rabbit if I am really roughing it.
If I have those few things and the basics like knives and lights/headlight then I am good to go.
If I can find cleanish water I can boil/sanitize it, cook the MH meals, and stay hydrated. A change of clothes and some dry socks and I can go for days on foot out in the middle of nowhere ( at least in the middle of nowhere in the South).
I'm not saying I won't camp out of a popup trailer or tent, because I definitely will, but I think I'm pretty ready for when the shit hits the fan and everything goes to hell this way.
