One gun. One small knife. One wallet. One cell phone. G19 in the cool weather. P3AT and an extra mag in the hot. As far as rural areas go I am in the middle of one. I go for plenty of walks in the deep south with 2 less than 3 guns. I have never even felt the need for an extra mag where I live. On occasion where I feel it could be necessary I've carried an extra mag, but that's rare. Being prepared is one thing but I'm too weak for all that weight.
...plus, after putting on my AK, kevlar vest and machete the BUG just seems like too much
