re: Rate My BOB

Rambo style survival knife with the saw on the back, with paracord handle, compass cap, and inside the handle some firestarter stuff, fishing line, hooks, and some leftover hydrocodone from an old prescription.

Whatever daily CC you have at the moment of SHTF. Doesn't need to be in your bag necessarily. If it takes 50 rounds to shoot your way out of a situation with a pistol, you are probably dead anyway.

I do have a BOB but I call it just a hunting bag, but could double as a BOB (an already-packed bag ready to go) and it has quite a few other items in it. Rain jacket, rain pants, emergency blanket, a beanie, some gloves, some random ammo, a small folding saw, a small camp pot, a ziplock with instant grits already seasoned, I think some aspirin, more tinder and fatwood, TP. A random folding knife. A headlamp. Some extra batteries. Custom first aid kit. A couple other random hunting related items such as a blaze vest, printed regs, maybe a dove flicker or 4, etc. It's just a waterproof carhardtt backpack.

With that bag, a Rambo knife, and really any fully loaded CC, bugging out is covered.

None of that includes what I already carry in the vehicle for a "Get Home" situation. I was motivated to do this when I unexpectedly drove into white-out conditions in a very rare snowstorm in Georgia many years ago. I made it home but was very very scared I wouldn't. I'm covered now.
