Camelbacks are water pouches carried on your back, right?

Yeah there water bladders that you can carry like a backpack. They are pretty useful, I actually just used mine a couple of days ago when I had to evacuate.

Is there ones that are made from hard plastic? You wouldn't want to burst the bladder because you fell on it.

Not sure but Camelback makes some of the really high-quality ones that are made of polystyrene" a tough plastic". Not sure if spelled that right but nevertheless they are high-quality,and can be somewhat expensive but your paying for quality. If your worried about it breaking just fill the bladder half way that way if you do fall on your back the water would spread out more.

That would defeat the purpose of its design. The whole point is to fill it. If I fill it half way, then I might as well put the water in something smaller.

Even halfway full its still plenty of water.

How much do they cost?

It's been a while but If I remember correctly around $50- $70. You should should look around more though some places might sell some good ones cheaper. Mine is a 70oz.

oh my good lord do you have any idea how mucch all that will weigh and I don't want to hear o you can arry that its not being able to carry it its about being able to walk over thirty miles to the next town or... out running a horde  and even if YOU CAN what about other people thats like a bird telling a dog that he will need to fly. this is absurd how about in stead.

line one:water bottle,a few medical supplies and 2 purifying tablets wraped in a bandage. a small hatchet and a compass(WRITE ON THE COMPASS WERE YOUR SAFE HAVEN IS WITH REMOVABLE MARKER).

line two:football padding soccer padding skate board padding a crowbar a cheap rifle ammo for the rifle and a pistol dthat shares the same ammo (.22).

the third line was really good but whats the point of a third line id you have the first? I would change it to an evacuation kitt - all the item of the first two line and then:water container(foldupable plastic container that can heat up water kind of expansive but worth it) second rifle with 600 (.22) rounds all together,shotgun with individual 50 rounds,map extra pair of shoes(running),four pairs of clothes,old washing board(I have went 5 weeks living absolutly off the land then did a second similar expeirience that I bought anything I thought I needed after 24 days I broke down(a contained and supervised experiment with my girlfriend on the original trip)my brain went into a kind of shock I had told my girlfriend not to end the experiment until the time was up and after she fed me and put me into bed. woke up the next morning crying and I didnt stop crying for a week then I came to my sense and finished the experiment I went home and bathed for eight hours fucked my girlfriend untill I passed out. I later discovered I would not were clothes unless they were wasehd twice, and I then came to the realisation that it was the filthy clothes that caused me to brake down...... on my second trip i brought a washing board and washed my clothes daily It helped my morale considerably.

Dude its's his own opinion, he is not telling you to have a loadout exactly like this it's just something that works for him. He clearly says whatever works for you. By the way way you should really learn how to type, it gave me a headache trying to read your post.

exactly right and if you think this is to much weight to carry then think of this, what he described is pretty much the basic military load out that out soldiers carry with them everyday. in fact they carry more, and i'm pretty sure wildman has military background so this is the load out hes familiar with. yes it would be much for a civilian couch potato who's only used to carry at most a backpack around.

but not for some ones who's trained to carry that load and more. so what ever your load out may be, and its important to customize it to our own needs. you have to practice carrying it and even more. i would say take your bug out bag and practice walking with it a few miles three times a week. plan on having other loads like a mil vest like wild described but don't want to walk down the street with it. just throw some extra weight in the bag to simulate it. get yourself conditioned to wear you can carry more weight then you plan with no problem. "practice, practice, practice it will be what keeps you alive.
