Hello all. Has anyone here prepared a survival pack, and if so, what did you include? I am wondering too if anyone knows a good place to buy a gas mask in Seoul. I am thinking something similar to the ones you see in the subway which are meant to keep you alive and breathing in a smoke filled environment.

So, I'm putting together a "survival pack" just in case of war. So far, I've just got a backpack to put everything in, 3 one-liter bottles of water, clothes, candles, and a lighter. I'm thinking of stocking up on cans of tuna (one a day to keep me going) and I am experimenting with soaking rice (in order to eat it) but so far this experiment is not working. What is a good food item that won't go bad quickly but provides lots of energy? I was actually thinking of buying kimchi here for the first time in my life, but it is space-filling. I need something compact with energy, full of nutrition, and light-weight. Today my co-workers at my new job told me that dried seaweed is great for survival but I am not so sure. It seems like it is full of salt, which may dehydrate you.

I found google not as useful. Some dumb suggestions there. I mean, we live in Korea, a cold environment, and Koreans know survival food. Rice, kimchi, seaweed would totally get me by. I was thinking of purchasing something so that I could cook rice every night. I'd be going on foot heading towards busan by the way.

I am trying to be realistic here and only include the necessary items for about 1 week or pure survival... and I only have a North Face backpack to put it all in.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what to pack?

Well you definitely want to get a battle ready katana. They have great reach (prevent infection from blood contact) and are an excellent way too destroy the brain.
I don't know if you plan on going on it solo (wouldn't recommend it), but you should make sure at least a few people in your party are experienced with archery as a crossbow is a very quiet distance weapon. You can use it for self defense as well as hunting.

Good luck!
