Who here actually has one. We all talk about it but who has a BOB?

Not me, but I'd be interested to see what people have in theirs.

I don't have a bag, per se, it's really a box. I figure that if I need to bug out it will involve my pickup so I keep the toolbox stocked with some essentials.

In my truck I carry my Henry AR-7 and my flyrod. So I can kill some squirrels and catch some fish. May add some survival straws for hydration

I have my molly pack that I carry deer hunting. It has an extra box of .270, pair of gloves, face mask, half eaten snicker bar from 2012, and 2 empty Dr. Pepper bottles.

Like the other guy said, if I have to bug out to our tribe's rally point, it'll involve me emptying my pantry and bullet stockpile into the bed of my truck before I leave.

No.

I'm not going to leave my family no matter what happens.

And no way am I going to try and put together a BOB my my entire family.

In order of importance: Boxes of liquor. Guns. Ammo. Fishing rod. Condoms. Canned food. Firestarters.

Haha if I'm honest, I do have one, but I've raided it over the years when I needed various things and I'm sure it's basically an empty bag with some ammo and paracord at this point.

It was really more of a get home bag anyway, hence having useful stuff I've stolen from it.

I do I guess, kinda. Its more of a glorified camping (primitive) hiking bag that I keep at the house. If SHTF, its the first thing I would grab. But its loaded with survival stuff, cooking stuff, knives, ammo, home maid fishing pole, etc.

I have my Glock and a pelican case with my AR and six 30 round pmags, plus a range bag with six G19 mags and four more pmags. Hopefully I could parlay that into whatever supplies I needed

I don't have one yet. But it is always on my mind to put one together. Seems I always get overwhelmed with all the crap once I actually sit down and try to map it out.

Check out Survival Boards if you want BOB ideas.

Some funny stuff over there too. I find it humorous to see some 300+ dude with a 60 lb BOB. I doubt he could walk a flight of stairs without getting out of breath, much less carry a 60lb pack several miles.

Don't forget a roll of toiler paper! Preferably one that is individually wrapped in plastic.

You mean baby wipes I keep them in my truck at all times.

I also keep a couple of bags. Water/Food, shelter, fire, FAK, Coms and tools, as well as a few misc items. I CC every day, and an AR is underneath my bag with extra mags.

Mine is in progress. Right now, a Ruger takedown 10/22, and 100 rounds of ammo for it.

I keep most of my backpacking stuff in my bag, so I'd just use that. My dog keeps all of her backpacking stuff in her bag, because I'm not carrying her shite, so she's ready to roll.

Right now it has a sleeping pad, sleeping bag (20 degree rated, probably closer to 35 degree tbh), 1 man tent, two sets of socks, two sets of underwear, first aid kit, footprint, emergency shelter/blanket, matches, flint/steel, dryer lint, 3-4 days of dehydrated food, jetboil, two jetboil fuel tanks, signal mirror, probably close to 4 liters of water, a lifestraw, kinfe, and some other knickknacks.
