With my EDC, Ditch Kit and BoB, redundancy is my killer. Yes, it is good. But with everything on....

7 Nalgenes
3 SAKS
3 Minimags
2 Fixed blades

LOL as you can see, there is a problem.

So, first step, decide that BoB is a just replenishment/extended range gear. EVERYTHING critical goes in the ditch kit. So BoB has no light, no knives, only the food, stove, expanded FAK, and clothes. Extra water. Pulled out the fixed blade.

By the same token, if I've got the Ditch Kit, I've probably got my EDC. The current sniffer and pliers and head lamp came out of the ditch kit, since there is one of each in the EDC.

Of course, this weekend I'm going to be building a bed roll tube kit. Make BoB a little smaller, a bit more bare bones, considering that I don't really don't have the means to store BoB where I'm currently living.
