Just about every survival,prepper, etc site has a list of shit you should have in a “bug out bag”

Not a single one of the hundreds of lists I’ve read mentions gun cleaning kits,gun oil,powder solvent,copper fouling solvents,or gunsmithing tools.

Why? Does everyone really think their weapon is gonna last forever without being cleaned,oiled and maintained?

Guns tend to fuck up at the worst possible moments when they are dirty-especially semi-auto firearms like the A-R platform rifles.

Even bolt-action rifles do not operate correctly when dirty-this gets worse in cold temps.

What are you gonna do when your scope ring screws get loose? Or your scope base screws get loose? Or any one of the hundreds of other things that can go wrong with modern weapons goes wrong?

You have to have a cleaning kit,with the appropriate brushes,tips,and patches, powder and copper solvents,gun or light machine oils,a set of SAE and metric allen wrenches,a set of torx wrenches,a set of picks,a small wire brush, a toothbrush,and a set of gunsmith’s screwdrivers.

If you use an A-R as your MBR-you need a special tools for that-(no idea what it’s really called-I call it an A-R wrench)-and you need a punch,or else you can’t take it apart to repair it.

I don’t know about anyone else,but I have the tools I mentioned plus some extra shit,in my bag-ready to go.

If/when there is any type of extended SHTF situation-I know I am gonna have the necessary tools with me-or else I’m fucked-what about you?

Please leave any thoughts, questions, ,comments, death threats, etc. in the comments section at the end of the post.
