BTW, since she bee in the hospital for over 6 weeks, I've been carrying a pack everyday, and it's between 35, and 45 pounds. Weight is a consideration, but not the holy grail. I've hiked over the top of a 12,500 foot mountain with an 80 pound pack on my back, and had a great time!
I have pre-placed caches along my bug out route, minimizing what I need to carry. This is to increase speed. I have 52 miles to go to get there, and have a bicycle with a motor and trailer stashed in case the roads are jammed. I hope to be moved before any real ugliness occurs, but prudence demands a backup plan.
Every bug out in entirely different by necessity, so every bug out bag must be different to match! My wife is in a wheelchair, so my bug out plans are more involved that most people.
I try to minimize weight, but we look at items that will directly help US. I would use a 12 foot diameter net, although your net selection would be better for someone traveling long distances alone.
