You may call it something else, but basically I made it up. I have a 72 hour pack, a generic one for two. My 72 hour kit is about to be expanded to a bug out bag, but that will come in another post. I am also in the process of redoing my wife's 72 hour pack. In fact I went through it tonight and noticed she had emergency water packs that were 8 years old and 3 years past their expiration dates not to mention expired food rations. Ugh.... Come on babe! We had a good laugh about it.
So basically I'm redoing her pack and over the last week and a half have been establishing my sprint pack. Today I snapped pictures and wrote this blog post.
Sprint Pack Defined: It is a small light pack that goes with you everywhere you go. It's always in the car when I'm driving around town. So if/when the Crap Hits the Fan you can grab and sprint home.
To the right and below are some pictures of my Sprint Pack. It's a glorified fanny-pack with a shoulder strap and room for two side mount water bottles..jpeg)
Here's the entire layout of what's in this bag. I need to pick up two Nalgene water bottles to add to it for additional water storage, but
here's the minimum list and there's room to spare.

This was a fun pack to put together. I'm sure its worth around 80 bucks, but will be priceless when I need it. I also have some all terrain cross trainers to change into as well as a jacket/coat depending on the weather and a change of clothes in the car. I dress semi-dressy for the type of work I do. I hope I never have to use this pack, but it brings a great sense of peace just knowing I have it with me at all times.
