Kinda like, get the call, grab your shit, drive to your coy/bty/whatever lines and gtfo
Edit: You probably had a bat boy for all that stuff, so it wouldn't apply to you anyhow 
Edit again: @ Lorico not sure about Ontario, but in Ab at least, it is illegal to drive around with loose stuff in the car. Not sure if it's only in commercial vehicles or not. But I was given a cargo net to Macgyver into the back seat of work truck so that all the loose equipment I carry around could be secured. |
We had that as well but I suppose we had a lot less shit back then since everything for bug out could be placed in one small rucksack. Pretty much just webbing helmet and canteen. More like 'Nam equipment than now.
I think OP was talking about all of his gear not just the basics though.
