Pain medicine
10 day supply antibiotics, vacuum packed
3 changes of chothes
soap
water and chemical purifiers

sunscreen
can 100% Deet
tools, folding shovel, spare parts for truck
Roadmaps *although I've been a truck driver for several years and know most of the major as well as back roads in my area and an extended area of the US*
100 dollars that I will not touch unless I need it along with a debit card, however I fully understand if bad goes to worse, it may be worthless
truck never parked at home with less than 3/4 tank of fuel, empty and full fuel cans treated with fuel stabilizer *for the record, my bugout truck is not my every day vehicle but it is regularly maintained*

IN HOME, READY TO TAKE WITH ME:
9MM, 3 16 round mags, extra ammo

ran bugout drill last weekend: out the house, in the truck and down the road less than 10 minutes. This includes taking quick inventory of all items and confirming nothing vital is being left behind....except my Harley..Lol. Not part of a BOB but part of the bug out plan is an area mapped out capable of sustaining life for at least 2 weeks, will improvise if the need arises.
Sorry, I didn't take pictures, some supplies are classified

[Blue_Flame]

Ok here are the pics of my husbands BOB:







There's been a few things added since the pictures; book on tracking animals, book on boobytraps, buff, super glue, allergy medicine, playing cards, his Cold Steel, and a crank flashlight/radio combo w/a USB port so we'll be able to bring our GPS and Kindles along too

[tookieblueeyes]

[hutchb25]

I bought a bigger, nicer firesteel for my chest pack. I'll keep the little one in my BOB for redundancy and to light my alcohol stove, but I think this will be more suitable for actual fire starting and it looks to have a superior striker.

Eventually I'll have me a blastmatch, though. It looks so sexy on youtube.

[kage_no_mozaiku]

my pack is a maxpedition kodiak gearslinger with the janus pocket, small tac-tile, 7x5x4 vertical gp pouch, and another maxpedition pouch i dont seem to remember the name of. here's how i have it broken down

[cornholio2188]

lots more on the way!

[Nuclear Genie]

It's a lot of junk really, but it fits nicely in a 15 litre Sierra Designs Rohn daypack. I have a hard time finding packs that fit owing to a 21.5 inch torso and an athletic physique but this pack fit great. The hip belt actually sits on my hips rather than around my kidneys and the shoulder straps terminate two inches below my pecs. The one thing I am not 100% thrilled about is the lack of a load strap to reinforce the zipper, and the absence of a daisy chain or external strap fittings. No big deal though.

As far as the inventory goes this is the junk I carry on a typical day hike understanding that any trip may turn into an extended visit.
I chose some of the gear in emergency red since 99% of the time I am going to want to be seen ergo 100' of 6mm spectra line, a 15' and an 8' section of 1 inch tubular webbing and a 4' section of 3/4" webbing to rig a harness for rescue or rappelling. There in that mess is a pair of clear 1.5mm 60" long industrial waste bags. These can be used for a ton of stuff. I prefer clear over black because it works better for collecting water. I also opted for the old reliable red 5x7 Space Blanket with grommets because it makes into a great lean to and works well as a signalling device. All of my "no load bearing" biners are red so that I don't mistakenly rig them into anything. In the Red Stuff sack is my Food. A crap load of Pemmican and some boullion cubes and tea and honey and peanut butter and junk. Plus a set of "clean" skivvies and a set of socks.

My FAK is set up with travel dosages of antihistamines, pain relievers, dramamine, pepto, etc and has a few extra bits of gauze plus the standard retinue of junk a FAK comes with. Along the bottom of the image I have a couple of glow sticks, insect repellent (98% DEET) A trio of candles and a sharpie maker with a dual pen tip (The pen in the image has been replaced). In the ziploc baggy I have a sewing kit, 10m of dental floss, tp, hand sanitizer, tiedowns for the space blanket, and a couple packets of 2 part epoxy. Next to that junk I have my Silky Pruning Saw and a canister of pepper spray on a Gear Keeper retractor. Also pictured is a Gerber Handaxe, and a Gerber Flik multiplier. Next to those are my aquasox and a FRS radio with Weather Radio Service. This, and all other electronic junk runs on AA batteries.

In the row above that is my Walther P22. It has the laser sight that Walther Sells as a package with the pistol. I have the pistol attached to a Gear Keeper Dive Retractor as well. I tupically carry three 10 round magaznes with this. I don't intend to get into a gun fight so extra ammo seems a little superfluous. I also have a windmill wind proof lighter, a CRKT M16Z1 with the Serrated Blade and a Fenix LD22 flash light. Across the top is a set of ploarized impact resistant safety sunglasses in a case, the black stuff sack there holds a lot of the loose gear you see here. I like to compartmentalize my outfit to keep from losing stuff. Next to that is a pair of Sirius Polypro gloves with rubberized grip surfaces and a set of leather finglerless gloves (layered, I like leather for handling hot stuff) I also have a Brunton solar Powered AA battery Charger with 4 Rechargeable batteries and 4 Energizer Lithium Non Rechargeable Batteries. Beside that is my Mountain Hardwear Goretex Ninja getup. A half dozen Industrial Zip ties and a set of Vortex 7x35 specs.

In the gun case in the back is the ubiquitous Ruger 10/22 with a Weaver 4 power scope and a couple of 25 round magazines. I threw on a muzzle brake because it was cheap and looked cool. It's sighted in to 150 yards and I have it loaded with C.C.I Velocitor Ammo. Inside the pack is a 3 Liter Camelbak Bladder with a Thermal Control Kit. Also in the pack is a magnesium firestarter and flint striker and a Silve Ranger CL Compass and the "Collins Gem SAS Survival Guide" which can be used as TP or fire starter.

It's a lot of crap to schlep around on a fifteen mile day hike. But I have the consolation of knowing that whoever loots my rotting carcass is gonna have a gold mine in cool shit.

[DrDragon]

First time posting, been working on this awhile and still needing a few more items and some more practice. This is also my camping kit for the most part.

Pack: Gregory Baltoro 75, awesome bag, very durable


Cook/Fire Kit


Trangia alcohol stove, pot stand cut from hardware fabric


FAK/Hygiene


Hydration


Cutting Tools (haven't used saw yet other than in back yard, MUCH lighter than the hatchet, probably will be retiring the hatchet to car kit)


Light/radio


Clothing/Rain gear/Tarp/emergency blanket


Misc




Food


Hunting/Defense: I probably would not carry both the Colt LE6920 AND the Ruger 10/22; I'm also not sure how I would make that hard decision . If there were a good possibility I'd need to Hunt for an extended period, I would probably opt for the 22 as the ammo is more portable and the rifle more concealable/less arousing. Plus I don't have a good way to carry my AR Mags ATM. The revolver is a single six.


All squared away ready to go into pack, sans firearms and sleeping gear


Things not pictured:
REI Rush 18 (a stuff sack with backpack straps, sleeping bag goes in it, but would be used as a day pack or in the event I had to separate from my pack to carry bare essentials)
Eureka 2 man tent (my wife carries tent, I carry poles and fly)
Sierra designs 40 degree synthetic bag
Thermarest inflatable pad
Baby stuff for 7mo old

Things I still want to add:
Lighter shelter option (Ideally for my wife, myself, and 7 month old son, suggestions needed)
Lighter, more compressible sleeping bag (given our climate, I am considering just a fleece sack of some sort)
Water purification system (leaning toward steri-pen)
I still need to add in some snacks/food that we can eat on the go
I also need cash or some sort of currency (but I keep spending it)

Current loadout with 200rds 22lr but without firearms is just over 30lbs. That is with Camelback bladder and nalgene filled, but with platypus empty.

Need suggestions, please PM me if u have any! Thanks!

Hi I'm wondering what type of bag the "shtf imminent bag" is. Thanks

[Fot47]

This is my complete bob set up currently. Still working on adding/subtracting as I go. I am big on Dave Canterburry and M40 survival school of thought. Bag as pictured is 52 pounds without water and limited ammo. I have a small pistol belt kit that can be worn by another person and looking to add a small back pack to break the load up even more if needed.

Bob by it's self. The roll under is poncho liner, wool blanket, and a heavy duty emergency space blanket Have a second wool blanket sandwiched between alice pack and frame.. Adds extra layer of cushion on the back.


Outside pockets and add ons. More canteens and cups, Coffe filters, tea bags, Shovel, cheap machette, hatchet/hammer( all wrapped with paracord) Sling bow set up ( Check out Dave Canterburry's videos on YouTube on this... really a neat thing to make) Triangia, sterno, and soda cans stoves with fuel 50 gallon drum liner, 10x20 plastic sheeting, tenet stakes and 100 feet of paracord.Volcano stove/cup and canteen unit

Back up weapon, break down 12 gauge with a mix of buckshot, slugs and bird shot.

[bertran]

This site is 4.0 in my book. I got some good ideas from it. Not much to add except I have 4 spools of 14# fishing line in my bug out bag. It's cheap and for use as trip wire around the perimeter if I'm in the woods. Early warning is life saving. As stated, I got some real good ideas from this site. Good thread. Bertran

[Rogue45]

I like this thread, it gives you some perspective on others priorities and ideas.

I have a small BOB that I carry in my truck that contains:

Small FAK
Water (4 .5L bottles)
Compass
Duct tape
State map
Water purification tabs
A lighter and matches
Ziploc baggie stuffed with dryer lint for tinder
Emergency blanket
Granola bars, nuts, protein bars
2 pairs of warm socks
Thermal top and bottom
Wool watch cap
Leather work gloves
550 cord
LED Mag-light and extra batteries
Utility knife
Adjustable wrench
Leatherman
Small Camelbak
Rain coat
Boonie cover

Also carry an ammo can with:

2 boxes of .45 ACP ammo
2 extra mags for my EDC
40 rds of 45-70 ammo for my Marlin 1895 Guide gun
500 rds of .22 LR
2 10rd Ruger 10/22 mags
Gun cleaning kit

I guess this is more of a GHB, but I keep adding things as I go along. I'll probably have to graduate to a larger bag soon.

[lll000000lll]

My EDC pocket set up is a folding gerber paraframe II pocket knife and multitool.

However everyday i leave my house with my BoB on my back....its my High Sierra Titan 55 liter bag.
the bugout bag has everything i would need to stay alive in the bush. no food in it yet. but i like foraging, including winter wild edibles
(did some today actually).

I went with a good hiking bag set up for the light weight and multiple storage options, also it doesnt look military. also the bag i picked has webbing/molle options and even a place for a water bladder system

Contents list:
a 20 liter dry bag contains most of this....

Ok here are the pics of my husbands BOB:







There's been a few things added since the pictures; book on tracking animals, book on boobytraps, buff, super glue, allergy medicine, playing cards, his Cold Steel, and a crank flashlight/radio combo w/a USB port so we'll be able to bring our GPS and Kindles along too

Not a bad bag at all. just curious about the weight...

My wife and I are of the same mind with respect to being prepared to help ourselves if there is a local disaster. We have 2 kids, 13 and 10 to help spread the load around, were we to bug out. We started our 72hour kits by buying 2 of the Red Cross pre mades, and have expanded from there. I will carry most of the tools, my wife the majority of the first aid, my oldest the food and my youngest will take her personal gear.

The gear below is our bug out gear, minus clothing. My wife and I have identical bags, and the kids right now have the bags from the Red Cross gear. As I add to the kit/ take more pics of what we have, I'll edit my post.

I also carry 3 cans of camo spray paint, not a huge fan of Krylon's camo paints but Rusto has treated me well. (This is the same paint i used on my longarms)

IMG00377-20130110-1021 by bingbong134, on Flickr
Not pictured is my Load Bearing Vest (LBV) that holds 10 AR mags, has a pistol holster as well as a few extra pockets.
I bought most of this stuff at my local army surplus, and i was lucky enough to buy all of this before the gun ban scare so i was able to get it all relatively cheap. So support your local army surplus! If you have questions about gear they're usually a lot more knowledgeable than people at places like cabelas, and more often than not they have lower prices too.
