BOB - Bug-out-Bag
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 1:01 pm
A BOB is a fully prepared backpack that you can grab and GTFO (get the fuck out) ICE (in case of emergency). I'd like to document my list of contents and see if anyone has suggestions. All of these items are for self-defense and survival reasons for personal protection. Any feedback or suggestions or even similar setups of yours are appreciated. I know this isn't a survival forum, but given the recent times I felt the need to reorganize my shit.
Anyway, to business:
The bag itself is a Maxpedition Vulture II in Black. This bag is fucking annihilation-proof. You can light it on fire (try to), beat the fuck out of it, it won't break.
