i also have pediolite powder to replace electrolytes, etc, it's like gatorade without the sugar. key minerals and such, i figure in a stressful situation, it makes sense vital nutrients will be sapped.
yeah, i gave my handguns to parents for safekeeping, i could get my glock 19 but these days i'm so anti-gun my plan is to keep a low enough profile to not have to shoot to kill anybody.
it's not off the table by any stretch, it also add weight and i am concerned about that as well.
the spray i have is fox five point three

You will really enjoy that particular episode. They're all good but that one specifically has some very valuable on-foot bugout tips from several different experts, particularly regarding self defense, pepper vs bear spray, tips for passing through rough neighborhoods, bugout bag actual essentials (very different from what most people think are essentials), and several tips on different ways of getting out of town alive.
Your anti-gun stance is commendable in these relatively normal times, but in the kinds of situations we're talking about it really has no place. We could be talking about a situation where millions of people are suddenly in dire straights, many of whom may suddenly not have any qualms about harming someone near them in order to feed their own. Or maybe they are simply opportunists who see that law and order rules no longer apply and they just do what they want, which may include stealing, looting, robbing, mugging, and if you mouth off or offer up any light resistance, killing. If you have any females with you they will be a potential target as well. Rape rates always seem to be among the things that rise in a major crisis situation.
An anti-gun stance has very little value in such a world.
You could however simply keep a small firearm hidden somewhere nearby, en route if it bothers you that much. Somewhere where it has zero chance of being found by anyone. Locked in a safety deposit box or locker that you would definitely have access to in a crisis would be ideal, as opposed to burrying it somewhere outside.
If Frank the anti gun freak gets wind of this thread he's going to have a heyday telling us all what 'cunts' we are. :D
