So I came up with an idea for a "Everymans" BOB Based on what many who don't believe a real Full self reliant BOB is needed may find more manageable. Its not a 100% camp in the woods for months on end kit nor is it a camp at all style kit. It contains the basic need of clothing, hygiene products, important documents, irreplaceable family photos, and backed up computer data.

I Built this kit for myself out of need before I actually had a real full on BOB for something to Grab if there was a fire. I wouldn't be able to camp out but I had to run out at night Id have clothing and such at the least. Now since I have a Basic BOB which is merely My camp gear ready to go I use this kit to complete it in a two part style kit.

My Kit Includes

2 Emergency Ponchos
2 Pairs of pants
3 White undershirts
3 Pair Underwear
7 Pair socks
6 Cotton handkerchiefs
2 Cotton bandanas
1 Bath towel
1 Pair Pajama Bottoms
1 Full wool balaclava (A Wonderful Purchase from Kevingg)
2 wash clothes
1 Travel toothpaste
1 toothbrush
1 bar all purpose soap
3 bar Basic soap
1 bar deoderent
1 tube chapstick
1 travel bottle of body powder
Backup Wallet with the usual's
Important document copies
Computer data backed up on a few different medias


This is all within a Gym Bag with the Hygiene items in a matching travel bag inside. The 7 pairs of socks are divided into 3 pair reg socks 3 pair padded sports ankle socks and 1 pair padded reg socks. Dividing up types of clothing for different things can come in handy such as 1 pair pants and 1 pair shorts so on so forth for all items depending on comfort.

Ontopa the bag is a 10$ pair of Converse rip offs from walmart.

The main goal was to have everything including footware to change into if I ran out the house in just Pajamas. The kit and shoes are always in one spot untouched which gives better ability to grab and go without worrying of where or just what I can grab.

The Added idea to this kit was to include clothing for all weather conditions. This way You do not have to switch out or change your bag every season change AND if your house does infact burn down you have a full set of clothing per season on the ready. This comes in great hand between seasons changing as you may change your kit up to summer while the temperature is still fluxing in between the seasons. This can be Done by Including gloves a hat and placing a inexpensive jacket or sweatshirt ontopa (if there is no room inside) the kit.
