I prefer to kinda keep things simple, like the instant coffee I drink (just add hot water and go, lol!). So basically I'm going to say that a BOB is a "bug out bag", a bag where you keep important survival gear, so you can just grab it and go when TSHTF (find out for yourself what THAT acronym means, heh heh heh!).

But welcome anyhow! I'm kinda n here myself although admittedy I began as a lurker...
