NVG head harnesses are awkward, shitty and expensive. You can get a ACH/MICH for $150 or less w/ the NVG mount attached. You can get a NOROTOS or VAS mount for $10-15. Shit, you can get a Protec bump helmet loaded out with all the useless shit for $80 including a VAS mount at that shit is $20 cheaper than the cheapest head harness that isn't proprietary. You can also get a decent Gen-1 without dropping serious coin, the Armasight Spark Core and Vega Mini are both sub-$500 and are Rhino compatible.
If you can't get out now, don't bother trying when SHTF, near everyone will try to migrate elsewhere for food alone.
If you bug-in and it's just yourself you have to worry about, it would be easier to bug in a for a good bit and once the main exodus has died off (few weeks/month), then make your way out. If you're only 35 hours to the border it's not that bad of a trek, average person walks about 3 MPH (5 km/h). Just make sure your survival skills are honed and avoid contact with anyone. It'd be better if you had a friend to watch you back.
>I'm sorry, but in african shit holes, I see bic lighters
Friendo, you see Bic's in Ebolaland, because the rest of the world is still intact, meaning there is an importer of Bic's, because as shit as Africa is it is still a market. The difference between Africa and SHTF, is that exterior economic market is gone and no one exists to import Bic's to you.
> they're actually using fire enabler
Yeah, that's called "tinder", it's why pre-industrial revolution explorers, adventures, and military expeditions carried charcloth…hence the term "tinderbox" which contained a flint, firesteel, and tinder.
You almost had me, I've give you 1/10.
