When camping and the S**t hits the fan we say, "lets go home". Our backpack gear is a subset of off-grid living gear that fits into a pack and is generally intended to provide for us for a weekend only, but we need pretty much the same things, except for the large food and water supplies and the need for off grid power. Also my backyard is at 4,000 feet in an Oregon forest with lava flow across it. I would be living out there maybe in a tent for months. The camping gear list is much shorter...

Read the Cascadia Earthquake predictions, it will be the largest disaster to ever hit America. Our water pipes will rupture and the power will be off, at the very least.
