I guess if SHTF tomorrow, I would have to take everything I have, at the point where it nothing matters but surviving and providing for my family, bullet size, weight and type would not much matter to me. I don't think some bad guy is gonna comment as to what bullet hurt more or what gun it came from, just as long as it functioned well when I wanted it to and was fairly accurate. Just my .
Does this mean total or per person, because I think my 6 yr old could carry 4 or 5 500 round boxes of 22 by himself. My little guys would have their backpacks loaded with all they could handle, plus my wife would have to leave the makeup behind and carry some ammo in her purse!You can carry maybe 2K of each caliber.
What I wanna know is how many people have thus far changed their minds as to what type they would grab after hearing all the responses?
For those who have a stockpile of ammo, it would be hard pressed for them to grab EVERYTHING. Especially if you have a family of 4-5 and over 10K rounds of various ammo. I have a SMALL stock and even it's seperated by what goes and doesn't go to the range, by caliber, and even what has just loaded mags in it!

Depending on what I'm going for in the woods, this is what I wear:

Trapping food, when you cannot shoot it, is another big thing. Ever try running a trapline made of deadfall traps and snares? Then having to filter most water around here, then boil it... I would need at least a small fire, first for charcoal, then for boiling. Filter the water through the charcoal to remove what heavy metals and chemicals you can, then boil for pathogens.

anything that goes BOOM!!!!
Well, It's nice to be armed with .22's so you have less to carry, but my AR and pistols have some heavy bullets
and my Marlin is tube fed. The AR has 22 mags including a 10rnder loaded with "supposed" Incindeary rounds. Didn't have a reason not to believe the guy so I believe it.
Ever tried to kill a squirrel with big rifle, handgun larger than 22 or AR? I assume that the grocery stores and McD's have already been taken over or run through. Big powerful weapons are nice and no doubt have their place but for feeding my family, I'll be taking my 22's also. I guess the best thing to say is be prepared, take all you can carry and hope for the best.
