Doesn't matter. If you live in a city and SHTF and you don't have an easily accessible, planned location to get to....you're fucked. 

I just spent $500 on a new pack setup that doubles as my hunting gear and bugout bag if necessary. And for hiking, as once I get my sleep issues resolved, I intend on eventually doing small sections of the Appalachian Trail. A nice outer frame with a meat shelf at the bottom, load bearing straps and big padded hip belt. An compression 81 liter pack, and a rifle scabbard that sits between the frame and pack. 

I had to send an email to the State Parks website asking if it was legal to carry a rifle in a scabbard in a state park just so I can do test runs with the weight. Even if it's completely covered, I know some twat would see it's clearly a rifle case and call the popo on me whether it's legal or not...and I have no clue

People hunt around the trails here - not sure if that’s just next to state parks or the at. My husband always wears an orange jacket running trails here. Not sure about other states.

 

[Juggs]

Yeah it varies state to state. 

We hunt in state parks here, but San Felasco or the Prairie aren't one of them. I doubt the open carry for hunting applies to parks where there's no hunting.

Why do you want a rifle an a long hike, that’s a lot of weight - for shooting meat?

For shooting shit that wants to kill you, I'd guess.

Girl I went to high school with just competed the whole thing. Took her like 6 months.

Crazy undertaking.

All at once? Fuck that. I see a lot of younger/middle aged people do it and all I can think is.....how the fuck did you people take off 6 months from work? 

The only thing that makes me hesitant to do more than a few days at a time is....I fucking eat. A lot. The amount of weight in food alone I'd have to carry would suck ass. Snacks like protein bars and shit do nothing for me. I get hungry, I need a damn meal. I'd have to spend a fortune in quality freeze dried/dehydrated foods.

Bingo. One day I am going to do an elk hunt or something and you're not doing that 50 feet from your truck. Your ass is hiking a while and carrying an 8ish pound rifle in your arms for hours gets tiring. 

I did say the primary purpose of this was for hunting. And now that I have to find new hunting grounds around here, I only have 2 options: Field dress it and haul out the meat on my back or buy other equipment to drag/haul a deer god knows how long back to the truck to take it to a gutting station the State has set up monitored by rangers. So you're hauling guts, hooves, and a bunch of extra weight for no reason. Option 2 also sucks because it gives you less time, given that much of Florida's hunting season is still in hot fucking weather. So it's really best to field dress it and get the meat on ice you have waiting at the truck.

Yep. Whole thing in one shot.

I guess they are well off enough for her to do it. I honestly don't even know if she worked anyway.
