My Civilian War Kit:
- felt insulated waterproof camo boots,
- Mad bomber down jacket rolls up into a pocket,
- Mad Bomber wool hat, toilet kit, axe for chopping up wood for fires or if needed to open a door to get food and shelter,
- a bag of protein bars which weighs too much, water filtration system maybe the most important thing, freeze dried packs of food 2 meals each,
- mad bomber sable hat for cold nights sleeping out,
- a balaclava,
- heavy gloves for biking,
- light gloves for biking,
- fingerless gloves for shooting/digging a hole to hide in,
- heavy insulated biking pants
- two pairs of wool socks,
- two underwear,
- thick long johns,
- a heavy thinsulate lined Aparso jacket from Rudolph in Fuzhou, China.
- The Syndicate heavy sweater from a Kyiv brand
- and two Craft long-sleeve bike shirts,
- one USA nationals triathlon t-shirt,
- a book & reading glasses,
- a power bank,
- a yellow bike jacket by Pearl izumi with press written on the back (we'll see where that gets me),
- Russian hunting knife,
- 5 lighters,
- the Cervello tri bike no helmet.
- And luxury... I actually brought a pair of black jeans so I have two pants to choose from for my sartorial Elegance,
- a bike repair kit with a pump
- and the most important: an SOF signed Ukrainian flag, of course
- charging cords,
- a computer,
- a cell phone,
- all my credit cards, passport, my ID for Ukraine,
- some candy bars for kids or when I get tired,
- ironically face masks which nobody uses anymore
- and very important a Listerine pocketpaks breath freshener.
Two days ago I scored $6 vinyl 100-percent pure petrochemical boots with fake sheepskin lining. This will be my everyday dress shoes for now.... I love them
Of course All this fits into the small Ironman bag even though I only did half ironmans which apparently makes me half a man but that's still headed in the right direction isn't it?
I brought a very small bag from Kyiv (see above) with just 2 pairs of socks, 2 underwear & the one pair of camo hi-top felt Boots & mostly food and water filter and axe and knife in case I had to sleep out.
With two pairs of boots I'm clearly living the high life...
