That got me thinking that perpaps the BOB is intended only for transit...
I wouldn't get too hung up about the definition of "bug out". It means different things to different people and situations. Bugging out 100 miles before a hurricane makes landfall two days from now is different than when you're woken up in the middle of the night by the smoke alarm and you need to get out of the house NOW! Whatever kit you grab in either situation is legitimately a BOB. You need to think about the situations relevant to
you and then put a kit together that is appropriate.
True.
Bugging Out may be just getting to a fallback position rather than roughing it cross country.
We've got a friend staying with us while she gets the tree off her house/ house off her car/ everything rebuilt. And on "Gustav-Day" "Bugging Out" was just getting herself and her dog out of house during the storm and coming a few blocks to stay with us.
There are now ample opportunities to return to get stuff she needs while she's staying with us.
