[Knepper91]

This is all the gear I got so far. I'm looking in to buying more after I get my bonus.

2 sets of ACUs (Soon to be multicam)
2 pairs of boots (winters and summers)
camelbak (3 litres)
multicam pack
knife
eyepro (Hellfly from Revision)
gloves
canned foods (put away at the moment)
And of course, the much needed nicotine sticks

[Bowman1]

Now that the contest is over, I present for your evaluation my get home bag. It's not perfect, but its where I am right now. I will point out the shortcomings I see, but I am very interested in hearing your thoughts on this as well.

First, the bag: A Kelty Redwing 3100 ci pack. A very civilian looking, well built pack that carries a heavy load quite well.


Clothes (Not pictured: Sherpa rain shell jacket)
This is definitely a summer weight clothing arrangement. I'll be adding another layer or two for winter.


Pictured: socks, underwear, t shirt, sweatshirt hoodie, and rain poncho

1st Aid Kid and some respirator masks

Pictured: An extended first aid kit from REI, two 3M n95 particulate respirators

Sleep and shelter

Pictured: Big Agnes inflatable sleeping pad, space all weather blanket, multi-purpose tarp, paracord.
Not pictured: four tent stakes

Fire, light, and heat

Pictured: Petzl headlamp, Fenix flashlight, candle lantern and candles, Bic lighter, storm matches, Coleman LED mini lantern, Centrum container full of cotton balls soaked in Vaseline
Not pictured: Swedish fire steel

Personal Hygene

Pictured: Deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, toilet paper, wash cloth, miscellaneous over the counter drugs in the Centrum container

Water and Stove

Pictured: MSR water filter, 2 Nalgene bottles. water purification tablets, Esbit stove and four Esbit tablets

Food:

As you can see, I carry some food. A LOT of food. And why shouldn't I? If I have to use this bag for its intended purpose, something really bad has gone down. I'll be working harder than usual and under a lot of stress. My body is going to need those calories, and a warm meal under these circumstances will be very welcome. Plus, I like food, and make a point of eating some every day.
Pictured: 2 Ready Rice, 5 Knorr (formerly Lipton) pasta side dishes, two tuna pouches, one salmon pouch, 2 Lipton cup o' soups, 5 Cliff bars.

Other stuff:

Pictured: Brunton recharger, Mechanix gloves, Garmin eTrex GPS, pry bar, MSR cookwear, M.95 Puukko Ranger knife, Swiss army knife, duct tape.
Not pictured: Motorola Droid.

A couple of observations:

1. Lots of food, nothing to eat it with. I really need to add some utensils.
2. No extra batteries. I need to add some extra batteries for all of my gadgets.
3. No comms. I'll be adding a 2m HT with general coverage reception here in the next few weeks.
4. The MSR cookware takes up an awful lot of room. I think I'll just add a stainless steel water bottle and use that for cooking and boiling water.
5. No, there are no weapons in this pack. I live in the People's Republic of Maryland where a concealed carry permit might as well be made of unobtainium.
6. I'd like to add some sort of bivy to the sleep and shelter component. I think that would give me a wider range of temperatures
7. There is one glaring omission missing from this bag: cash! I think every GHB should have at least a grand worth of cash stashed away inside of it. I don't have that kind of $$ right now, but need to start saving up so I have this covered.

Here's mine -

I'm sure I've posted this wrong! But anyway -

Last one.

[Alpha-17]

After a lot of thought, I've finally settled on the bag, and for the most part, what to put in it. My intention is for the BOB to sustain me for 3 days or so. Here's what I've got thus far:

CamelBak TriZip, w/100oz bladder


The Stuff I have now


Left Side pocket, holding 100ft of tan 550 cord, and 4 bungie cords


Right side pocket, w/water proof matches and water proof case, eating utensils, AA batteries, three bottles of Iodine pills, and a few silver coins.


Top of bag:


Main compartment. Left side: Light weight snivel gear, Trioxane fuel tablets. Center: 4 stripped MREs, MultiCam BDU pants, 2 pair USGI boot socks. Right: Holy Bible, tan T-shirt, brown T-shirt.


I still need to get:
1-2 more stripped MREs
4-6 power/energy bars
Small map of NC
Gerber or Leatherman multi-tool
Small flashlight (either Surefire or Streamlight)
batteries for flashlight
compass
More water proof batteries
Knife or Machete
Head lamp with red light capability
Weapons cleaning kit, w/oil, bore snake, and rag
Baby wipes
tooth brush and tooth paste
1-quart canteen and canteen cup (in 1 Quart MOLLE pouch attached to outside)
Pocket sized wire saw
Pen and small notebook
Mag pouches for 2 1911 .45 mags, and 4 PMags.
Pouch for all medical items

Anything major I'm forgetting?

[flsgear]

Hey guys. First post - I finally took the leap and joined the forum ... the topic of BOB's and get home bags inexorably drew me in. As my info/tagline says, I'm the proud new owner of my own home business - Messina's Front Line Survival Gear. I merely say that as an introduction; not to advertise

Anyways, I thought you all might be interested in my daily carry "get home" bag. My day job (sadly, will likely be there for a while) is about 30 miles from home and I live in Harrisburg PA. So my gear is oriented towards getting me home to shelter in place in an emergency as well as deal with cold weather environments.

The primary considerations were twofold: good water storage as well as relatively light weight. The pack comes in at 14.7lbs dry weight with a 2.5l water capacity (not counting additional storage should I choose to carry more). The wet weight is 20.2lbs. I must say some of these packs listed in this thread, while impressive, are far too heavy to be something I'd ever consider feasible. If you intend to be as mobile as possible, then lightening the load is as necessary as having a good supply of water.

Preaching aside, here's the pics






Gear list:
1 high sierra 'cirque' backpack
dry weight 14.7 lbs
2.5 liters of water = 5.51lbs extra

[Alpha-17]

A few updated pics of my BOB, currently residing in my Jeep. Internally it's pretty much done (just missing a few odds and ends), but I'd still like to get a medic pouch, canteen pouch, and another double M4 mag pouch.

[robonator]

I guess I'll be Johnny Come Lately, but this is a great thread and I'd like to contribute.

Bugout Bag:



The bag itself is a Blackhawk! hydration 150 floz 3 day assault pack. Having used both the Army's issued assault pack and various aftermarket bags I think I found a real winner when it comes to this bag. Specifically the built in hydration system, which has it's own zippered pouch and retention straps. The bite apparatus is big and easy to use without needing the operator to bite hard and the water flows quick and easy. It has a huge main storage compartment with a smaller pouch internally which is elasticized to keep Stuff from bouncing around inside. The large outer compartment has interior pockets sized to hold different Stuff (MBTRs, pens/pencils, maps, knives...ect) which makes organisation a breeze. Finally it has a smaller outer compartment for loose Stuff. On the left shoulder strap is my Ontario Tanto Bayonet and sheath.





My IFAK is based on a VooDoo medkit, but with a few added items like basic painkillers, Quikclot, and a small emergency survival kit (rescue whistle, needle and thread, straight razor, waterproof matches) The bulk of the IFAK is pressure dressings, the tourniquet, and ACE bandages. Also included are burn ointments, alcohol swabs, rehydrations salts, iodine tablets and some lip balm.



On the other side of the pack is my shotgun scabbard, also from VooDoo. I've attached via MOLLE a 19 round shotgun shell pouch, and given a full magazine +1 in the shotgun totals 28 rounds, assorted. (I like to keep a good mix of slug, 00 Buck and 4 shot.) The shotgun itself is a Mossberg 500 with a pistol grip. I've seen some guys get all crazy with the cheese whiz with their 500's, adding a front hand grip, M1913 rails, external shell holders and the like. I keep mine streamlined. KISS, guys.



Inside the smaller outer compartment I have 150 ft of 550 cord. Usually there are come Cliff bars, Powerbars, and assorted dried fruit and jerky but, uh, I ate it all.



Inside the large outer compartment is A backup folding knife, a Leatherman, a snakebite kit, a small journal and pen, a SureFire helmet light, a few books of moisture resistant matches, and a BIC.

In the largest compartment is a moderate temp. sleeping system, a single-man bivy tent with poles and stakes, a shemagh, a bandanna, Howard Leight Electronic Earmuffs (but what happens when you run out of juice? They still function as stand alone earpro, but having the ability to amp up your ambient noise while the batteries last is a great plus) WileyX hard knuckle gauntlet style gloves, extra T-shirt, socks, and pants. I also have a TAD Gear ranger V5 fleece that I consider a season item. The boots are Merrel Radland Mid Waterproof. Also in the compartment, but not pictured, are extra AA batteries, extra D cells, and a Brando solar charger.





This isn't really a BOB, but gear I would definitely take with me if SHTF is my duty belt/leg rig. This is stuff I use when I'm hiking and when i'm on the range, and I keep it close always.



The belt is a BlackHawk! padded patrol belt with MOLLE straps. Two VooDoo hardcase pistol magazine pouches are on the right rear of the belt. On the left front is a VooDoo dump pouch. On the left I've got a VooDoo utility drop leg panel. I've been more than happy with this panel since I started using it. Inside the main pocket is a pair of Bushnell binos. In the various other pockets/pouches there is a Etrek GPS, a Gerber multi-tool, a Petzle Tactikka headlamp, a survival mirror, a Gerber Fast Draw Fine Edge knive, extra Surefire batteries, an SOG Trident knife, and a Cold Steel True Flight throwing knife. The rifle is an FN SCAR-L, with and EOTech and 3x magnifier, with a Surefire light on the side and adjustable front grip. Not pictured are seven Magpul E-mags. Also included are a set of ESS Sawfly ballistic sunglasses with clear inserts (not shown). The hat is a BlackHawk! Operator's hat with American flag patch. On the other side is a BlackHawk! drop leg modular holster, adjusted to fit my XDm .40 S&W with Insight flashlight/laser attachment. Although normally kept in my pack, I included that Taurus Judge Public Defender 2.5" in this photo for ease of use.



Alright, guys. That's my GTFOD gear. I've spent the majority of the evening looking through all of yours and I've got a lot of ideas on how to improve, make more efficient my gear, so hopefully I'll need to update this post.

[PlucharC]

Hey Guys,

I posted a link to this film project we're working on called NO TOMORROW. What I thought might be of interest to those of you in this thread in particular is the Director's post on the main characters Bug Out Kit.



You can check out the photo with a complete breakdown here: http://notomorrowthemovie.blogspot.com/ ... g-out.html

If you get a chance, check out the video in my Signature links!

Take Care,
Chris

[munchie3409]

No picture, but I have an Eberlestock GunSlinger II. Neat pack since you can carry a full sized rifle with you. Not an inexpensive pack, but worth it when you consider you don't need to buy a drag bag and a pack.

[Some Guy]

We start with the bag


Just a normal bag I picked up at Dicks a while ago. 4000Cc. On the outside of the pack are some cheap carabiners, a good climbers carabiner, my small walk pack and a monocular strapped to the chest strap. (also need to take a picture but my gerber LMF II will be strapped to other chest strap) Also not pictured (amazing what you forget to take a picture of) is my hatchet, two nalgenebottles, one plastic and one in stainless steel and a stainless steel cup that fits snuggly on the bottom of my nalgenebottles.

Inside the front pocket

Currently just a little wind up radio, a pack of playing cards and some spare batteries
