I inventoried and repacked 2 BoB's and one camping (ALICE) pack tonight. The camping pack is used in conjunction with a fully equipped.orgbat harness and I still have to inventory and repack it.

I also stripped some gear from each BoB and repacked that gear into two new Dayhiking pouches that will accompany the BoB's and/or the camping packs. These will stay close to me and my nephew along with the BoB's but when camping, they will stay on our belts BECAUSE if you don't carry it, you won't have it when you need it. I still have to write up the inventories on these packs but I will wait until I get a couple more items, to complete them.

My BoB currently is designed to support myself for approximately 10 days in the field, and consists of the following:
