I think you’ll make it.
Good attitude + good plan + good gear = better than average outcome.
Attached is a link to a you tuber’s video telling her real life story of traveling over seas when S really hit the fan and how she survived.

OK! I assembled all the gear and It’s more than I can lift. This seems to be the problem every time I see someone’s BOB or GHB as well. My wife and I travel a lot and everything fits in a carry on sized bag. Am I ready for that unpredictable SHTF event. I guess not. It also seems to be the case for all the 1st aid kits I see described. My theory is that if it isn’t truly something that is easy to carry all the time you won’t carry it and thus when TSHTF it will be a perfect survival kit at home in your closet. ALL of these kits need to go on a diet. How to do that is the tough question.
If you’re heading for a coast you might consider nautical charts in a scale you’ll find useful.
A upgraded memory card in your phone will easily fit your maps,charts,back up passport,records,books,photos(wife,kids-conversation starters to make you more human to someone you are trying to influence) and no weight/space penalty.
Camouflage is actually illegal in some countries (specifically in parts of Africa). I buy clothing on the local economy right away as nothing quite makes a person stand out as clothes for the US market.

Thanks for the info. Might start bringing a few more items that you listed. I have been reading these from Saudi Arabia. I have to come here for 3 weeks every year for work. It’s hard to travel for business and be prepared. Hope and a fighting spirit are the two best things we have. God willing we will make it home if anything happens.
One thing that worked for me in a couple of places, and really saved my bacon once was to pick up a fillet or kitchen knife using a makeshift sheath made of cardboard or newspaper; tucked into my waistband under a shirt is quite useful. Another item is a short machete (around 12″) wrapped in newspaper or cardboard tucked under my left arm was comforting and unobtrusive. Of course that would depend upon your location: In much of South or Central America, it wouldn’t raise a glance, however in London you would get arrested! Of course a roll of quarters, a jaunty cane, or a sock with a (unopened)can of soda in it were always old standby security items of us old sailors when in foreign ports.
