A BOB is a great idea and I’m sure we all have one (or are putting one together) I see them as a short term thing as you can’t carry enough for long term survival (unless your BOB is a panel van) I see them as a way to get away from a disaster area be it nature or man made for the duration of the disaster. How do you go about protecting your main survival items that you had to leave in your home when you bugged out? I would guess that the breakdown of services and the lack of law enforcement people to protect property as they will be busy saving lives (as they should.) will result in people breaking into homes and scavenging for food & supplies. When I return I want my stuff there for me, not some low life criminal that broke in my house. How do you hide or protect your survival items?
