If you're focusing on bugging out, this podcast episode's for you:

"Prep Innawoods"

Now, the guys on this podcast are self-identified alt-right: this means they have a favorite set of bad words and mean things. You'll hear that if you listen to any other episode.

But in the above-linked one, the mean things are minimal and subtle. You might not pick up on any of them, which is a blessing :) Instead, you'll hear the guys critique an equipment list posted on 4chan's /k/ board.

At least one of the guys - I'm thinking of "League of the North" - has a lot of experience with bushcraft. The host, "Axe In The Deep," has the right attitude for facing a real SHTF event.

I mention this podcast in part because they discussed the rope-vs-paracord issue, and in part because I was going to make a post of my own about it: I dropped it 'cos I realized I didn't have enough experience to evaluate it. You sound like you do.
