I have decided to put together a bug out bag for a SHTF situation, and figured it would be a good idea to see what other people have so i dont forget something that would be useful. I have two US surplus day packs i will probably fill up. What do you have in yours and what is the bag?
Answer
I use many duffel bags that i got for free, and one wooden ammo case that I refinished. I also have a few unmarked cardboard boxes.
my BOB is something I stick into the minivan and get out of town asap. I have no plans to hike out of town, I live in the middle of a large city.

1 wooden ammo case that holds lots and lots of glow sticks, and anything else fragile. its has tons of padding, it was designed to take a 33 foot fall without any glow sticks breaking. 33feet is because that's the highest I test the case falling. I threw it off the roof to the cold, hard concrete driveway below. I think its 33 feet, I'm really bad at math.

A man walks into a doctors surgery and says "Doctor, my legs keep talking to me."
The Dr. says "Don't be daft, let me have a listen."
He puts his ear to the mans thigh and it whispers "Lend us a tenner!"
Amazed he moves down to the knee and it whispers "Give us a fiver!"
Astounded, he moves to the calf which says "Give us a quid!".
Perplexed, the doctor refers to his medical journal and finally says "I can see the problem - Your leg is broke in three places."

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were going camping.
They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep.
Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said:
"Watson, look up at the stars and tell me what you see!"
Watson replied "I see millions and millions of stars"
Holmes said "And what do you deduce from that?"
Watson replied "If there are millions of stars, and even if a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like Earth out there and if ther are some planets like Earth out there, there might also be life."
And Holmes said "Watson, You Idiot! it means that somebody stole our tent!"
Good Luck.
