Well if you are going to use a glock with clips I'm taking my belt fed 1911 colt!
6 SHOT DOUBLE BARREL 12 GA.
And my S&W Xframe (50cal. browning ) revolver.

Thicker,
That belt set up is fine and it is good to have a set up that you are familar with to grab if you indeed have too. I believe almost everyone here has a plan on what they would grab or do.
In regaurds to the comment from Jeb Stonewall which was in fact wasnt a very nice one to a newbie trying to post a new thread for conversation.
It was his way of making fun of your saying clips for your Glock instead of magazines.
They are called magazines for the Glock.
******************************************
If the s--- hits the fan I will call them whatever comes to mind first I guess.
Believe me, there are far more individuals on this forum (which is the best forum) that would have told you in a proper way and not tried to bust your ba--s like that.
I remember being new here and with the help of several members ie:S&WCQB,Wrench,Fastbolt,Kurt C,Twogunjay and too many other to remember answering my questions I have began a business that is doing quite well.

I had a "s--- hits the fan belt" episode once.
It was a cold winter day, I went to start my car and hear the most unusual noise under the hood. I shut the car off, opened up the hood and saw an awful sight. Seems some creature found a nice warm place to cozy up for the night. I found fur scattered all over the place and s--- on the fan belt.
Not sure that any weapon would have made any bit of difference, the damage was already done, and the creature was pretty much a goner by the time I shut the car off.
Sorry everyone ,I thought it would be kind of interesting to hear what different folks have on their favorite set-up. Just like everywhere else, there are always those who mock various ways of describing things. Oh by the way, if you have never heard of a magazine being called a clip, I guess us old combat vets still don't fit in to society.

I have been thinking of putting something together as well. I Think the 21'' ASP is a Good idea,the knife too. I think I will go with a Fixed blade Kabar. I kinda have a back pack thing started,It has Ammo, a small cleaning kit,matches,LED flash light,1911 .45 pistol and a few other things.
A large fanny pack made for handguns. Inside is a CZ-75 .40 S&W, one extra clip, Surefire 6P with R2 LED bulb, Camillius Heat assisted opening knife with half serrated edge, Five in one whistle with waterproof matches.

Howdy Thicker, and welcome.
Whether it's a belt, or a bug-out bag, I have one problem. I keep my firearms locked up (always have one at the ready though). So, I have started gathering all the necessary survival stuff including ammo, and have it in a bag. But since it just sits on the floor ready to go, there are no firearms in it.
If for some reason I had to get moving quickly, I would have to take at least a minute to open the safe, grab a couple of handguns, my shotgun and my 30-06 before hitting the door.
I just can't bring myself to pack away a firearm that is not locked up when I am not around. Thickers plan of having stuff on a belt (that can be locked away) sounds like a plan that I may have to consider. A belt takes up a whole lot less room in a safe than a back-pack does.

Your belt rig sounds like something I would use for a "bump in the night", or "something is spooking the cows".
Having the necessities organized ahead of time cuts down on confusion, especially if you just woke from a sound sleep.
As far as a "bug out" kit, here are some of my thoughts:
Likelyhood of a Red Dawn scenereo is somewhere near 0%, so I won't think along those lines.
What will likely cause me to have to abandon my home are things like -
1. FIRE (caps intended). This is far away the most likely threat everyone reading this is likely to face. 2 of my next door neighbors had their homes burn to the foundation, and 4 more good friends had house fires that rendered the homes uninhabitable.
So, for this reason, I keep a "go box" with all important documents (birth cert, marriage cert, passports, credit card, insurance papers, etc) stored where it can be quickly grabbed when the smoke det goes off.
Also, a complete set of keys for every lock and vehicle I own. These keys are also in the go box. One of my neighbors had every key they owned melt in their house fire. Locksmith bill was huge, and took more than a week to get to everything.
And next to the go box is a bag with 3 days of non pershable food and some water, along with a shirtm jeans, socks and underwear for everyone in the house.
2. The next threat would be from severe weather, mostly tornados. Plan would be to retreat to storm room with the go box, and go bag. Wait it out.
3. On down the list would be a chemical spill on the railroad less than 2 miles away. Would again grab go box and bag. Depending on where we would go, would also pack a hi-cap handgun.
4. Civil unrest would pose a challenge. Doubt anyone would be able to easily move about, so shelter in place, no bug-out.
5. Severe heat or cold no reason to bugout. The house is designed to be habitable without electricity. Has passive solar heating and cooling that works.

Sir, having that stuff on a belt (i.e., all in one package) makes a lot of sense. FWIW, my present "bump in the night" gear is pretty minimal--pistol, cell phone, and a good flashlight.
Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

I have a Midway range bag set up as my bug-out bag. It has flashlights, a K-Bar knife, first aid kit, scanner, Ham Radio (HT), extra ammo, and batteries for everything that needs them. My carry gun is always on my belt.

I always thought of a SHTF situation as being one in which I would be heading out into the woods, with my family, for an extended period of time. That being the case, I guess you would need the same kind of stuff you would want if you found yourself stranded or lost in the middle of nowhere. I was always taught that with a knive and something to get fires started you could survive just about anywhere. If you add to that a good rifle, I guess just about everything else would be icing on the cake.
If it was something like a hurricane or wildfire, etc., I guess the rifle would be replaced by a good handgun. Add to that a cell phone, cash, and a few important papers.

This is very good advice. I think I will include these things. One ammo can is all that I would need for all important papers and keys.
Very good idea!
