I just went through the hassle of dumping, checking out the contents of, and repacking my BOB. Although it is a pain it's needed once in a while. I found some things in there I didn't need, had a couple of items I didn't even know I had, and did a total re-arrange.

It's a little bit lighter, more organized, and (the perk that's pertinent to this post) the main stuff inside is easier to get to.
