    Don't know, don't have one of these (yet). Just thought I would share.
    When I get it I will load it up and take some pics.

    I have one of their XL Bail out Bags and that thing is a beast. I carry it with me everywhere and have for a couple of years with no signs of wear. I highly recommend countycomm's stuff. Great stuff with good pricing.

    Not fully loaded but here is what it looks like behind the seat on my access cab.
    Neat bag but not as well constructed as their sat com bags. But for 16 bucks I can't complain.

    80 pages of sheer awesomeness. I'm not a Survivalist but I love the idea of being prepared. I only have a few items in my truck.
    -First Aid Kit.
    -Gerber.
    -Basic Socket set.
    -Screwdrivers and Pliers.
    -Hatchet / Machete.
    -Tow strap, Ratchet Straps, Bungie Cords.
    -Wood Blanket ( I want to replace with a sleeping bag rated at 0degrees).
    -10x10 Heavy Duty Tarp.
    -Weatherproof Notebook.
    -Extra set of clothes and boots.

    Does anyone have suggestions on a good set of long range Walkie Talkies? And way to charge batteries via solar power?

    Okay so those look pretty legit but the power packs seem limited to only laptops. How would one convert solar power from a panel to a regular wall outlet plug.

    ex: If I had rechargeable batteries or a battery pack that the docking station only had a wall outlet plug? Would it be a matter of mitch-matching adapters?

    Hmmm I did find this for the batter packs though.

    Interested in solar? I have checked around and this pops up in several expedition forums as well as camping stores I shop at (REI, Cabelas & Dicks).

    I picked up the smallest solar panel for my iPhone and the Goal Zero 10+ for the rechargeable batteries -- looking at a slightly larger one for lights, etc.

    Let me know how that goes. I'd mainly be interested in recharging batters like the smallest pack does, and recharging walkie talkie power packs. Cell phones and all the jazz are an added plus.

    I've heard good things about that brand but after personal experiences I'd suggest the Powertraveller units as they are extremely rugged and with the small case they make for it you can use it while on the move while dismounted.

    LOL, I just watched "The Walking Dead-Season 2" over the last few days and the sheriffs kid found that same kit in the truck of a dead guy. The EXACT same kit.
