Holy crap, 4 person bug out bag is $900 without add-ons /food/etc. Most of their electronics require batteries or USB charging. It looks like more of a pre-made hiking kit than a bug out bag.

I made a bug out bag for a vehicle that we have used during hurricane evacs. It is more centered on vehicles than hiking... full tool kit, common repair items, duct tape/zipties/super glue, air compressor, fuel can, fix a flat & plug kit, spare jack/4way, etc. I also have water filter, non-perishable food, MRE kits, couple gallons of water I rotate out, etc. I have never had to "use" the BOB in an emergency, but it sure is nice to use it when I have a break down/flat or in our case, when trying to evac for hurricane. The BOB has saved a lot of time not having to stop at gas stations with supplies... it basically extends our trip to where we don't have to stop for 700-800 miles (which gets us to our parents house), and we don't have to wait in line at gas stations for fuel/food/supplies/etc.

Yeah, I agree, they are pricey. However, people will buy them. no matter what. I'm sure a lot of people do buy them for camping bags too.
