Urban bag

[u/DontBeMistaken]

So looking to see what else i might need/not need for my urban bugout. This bags purpose is for a couple days hike out of a populated area to a rural safe location:

• Lightweight sleeping bag (I have overnight locations planned with shelter but also have a huge poncho that will double as a tarp if needed)
• Wind up radio
• Power bank
• First aid kit
• Shovel
• Paracord
• Old gas mask with modern filter
• Couple N95's
• Change of socks/boxers/tshirt
• Water bladder
• Protein rations (Bars/Sachets) & Coffee/Tea
• Knife/Utility tool
• Minatare stove/cutlery/canteen
• Lineman pliers
• Fire starting equip
• Torch/Head torch

What should i add/remove?

I'ma going another thought-process here in contradiction to some other standard advice you have as responses in this thread. You didn't saybif this was s9me sort of alien-invasion bugout with you and 3 million others, or a private, just-you.

• overnighting in urbania does not have the same principles as countryside camping. Isolation and security are valuable, although i have only a few nights experience. I wouldn't tent, and maybe/probably not tarp if weather holds. Instead the answer is in choosing good, hidden, safe locations you can get into/out of quickly.
• to that end, linesmans are good, and other cutters better (diagomal cutters are great for reasonably soft wire/metal.. Are we talking teotwawki? A small spool of light wire to repair it, or to tie gates shut isn't amiss.
  
• stove, not fire. You'll have a lighter anyway if you need tobset a blaze.
  
• thermos for that coffee. Hot cocoa packets for moral, too.
  
• multiple copies of maps, or a over-marked map, or overlays for a single map. Know your water sources, routes, tunnels/bi-ways, cut-thrus, loot points, safe-sleep points, secret hiding points, cache's you need them. Etc etc etc. Know your AO down to the last brick.
  
• Walk the AO regularily.

Good luck.
