Whats everyone got in their BOB?

I have the following in mine:
Small field 1st aid kit ( milspec)
Insect repellent
Salt tabs
Sunblock
The Tool ( multi tool / Gerber)
Kabar knife
Three 15 rnd 9mm mags (empty)
100 rounds 9mm ammo
Five 20 rnd M14 mags (empty)
280 rounds of 7.62
Five 20 rnd M16 mags ( empty)
240 rounds of 5.56
3 days MREs
Mil spec compass
GPS
Small binoculars
1 - set of 2 way radios (2)
2- flares
50' nylon rope
Breakfree bottle, patches and grease

Sounds like alot but you would be surprised how small it really is, a bit heavy but small.

This is some of the "grab and go gear" along with the obvious.

I have other gear and supplies in an Alice pack/web gear/shelter half along with various ammo pouches and canteens that would also go with me on short notice.

I have actually been neglecting mine, I have to rotate some stuff out. That may be my weekend project. Ill post an update on mine.

Any suggestions on the type and size of Bag to start my first Bug out Bag?

cool deal, yeah it does the trick, I have alot of crap in there, this is basically My EDC bag, Im still working on a 72 hour Bag

Some of you may be familiar with the "72-hour kit" which can be used as a short-term emergency bug-out kit in case you have to leave your home in an emergency or keep in your car (emergencies don't always happen when we are in the comfort of our homes). This is a list I found on a website posted by Kellene Bishop. You can make your own and stuff the items in 1 or 2 bags/back packs depending on how much you want. You can also purchase ready-made kits online. I have enough stuff to make our own but went ahead and bought a couple of kits. I need to make up one for the dogs - not leaving them behind. We keep them under the bed in case need to leave really fast. We also have extended supplies in several duffel bags to load up the car if need to leave for longer time. Below is a long list of items to consider:

wow, thats great GnL

Yeah - it really is a lot so customization for your own situation is definitely needed. But - if you have to grab 'n go, at least you have a few days of supplies until you can figure out what the deal is and what to do next. We just added to each kit, the Eton Red Cross hand crank/solar/battery radio flashlight. It is nifty and small - about 5in x 2.5in x 2in. I actually got it at Public's! - a little pricey at 29.99 but it is around the same price on the internet.
