BOB or Bug Out Bag

BOB!?
So what do you use, what equipment  do you pack, what do you carry in it, and what is it?


All good questions. I personally feel that each person BOB will be different; because each of us is different. What I might use and pack may not fit your needs or your friends. Thus I hope that I will be able to guide you to some answers. I will be doing the research and thus you will need to read and decide what works for you.


Basics: Water (at least 3 liters), Food (backpack or energy bars), Clothing, Shelter (emergency tent/blanket), Firearm & Ammo, First Aid (be sure to include your meds), Light (flashlight/sticks), communications (radio, cell, walki), knives, and Fire (lighter/waterproof matches). 


Of course there is always more items that you can think of that you need.


Thus here are some thoughts on that research.


From my friend Reaver (at gunfolks.com); he has made a list of items that he recommends. I found that his list is one of the better ones available. Here is part of it:



"Alright so your new into the prepping community, and you've decided to stock food and meds first. Awesome! you've got a few months now how are you going to protect it from all the goul's and gobblins out there trying to take it from you?
In this Post you will find items that I know for a fact through time and or personnel experience WILL NOT FAIL YOU!
First you need a weapon and some ammo."
