So I been wondering if my Outlook on my prep Methods is Good or not. I personally prefer to have individual Kits for Different situations and making it more like a large Modular kit in which each bag is taken accordingly at the same time.
This brings up the weight issue the physicality Of carrying 2-3 bags issue and the what if I forget or choose the wrong bags issue.
Im sure with further refinement a good medium for this method could be found. So Far Im Doing Decently enough with 3 "Module's" Being a 5 gallon bucket of food products, Clothing Filled Duffel Bag And Backpack of Camping Gear.
What is your take? Whats your preferred Method? One Bag to tackle everything or Multiple bags to tackle specific Ordeals?

I take a layered approach. I have to carry a work laptop back and forth to work each day and have a backpack given by work with the laptop. I made up a small edc bag which contains some minimal gear. Then a small pack under the seat of my truck for a GHB then a backpack at home that fits best in the BOB category with hiking/biking/outdoor gear. Next layer is more of an urban BOB since we would most likely bug out to a hotel so the urban bob is a suitcase with as much pre-packed as possible. After that are the document binder and contents of the gun safe, camper, various tool and gear bags, etc.

went through my "bag" earlier this year as it was way too heavy for a GHB...it is based on a nylon poncho and mosquito netting which is a little heavy to begin with (it is wet down here most of the year)..I took out the heavier 72 hour equipment..Swiss stove and Sterno, machete, Vic Swiss tool, SRK, spare shoes.... replaced tins of meat with pouches etc...but placed the removed equipment in a gym style bag that resides alongside the "bag" which gives me an option

Pack one bag for all seasons. If it becomes too heavy / cumbersome, dump the clothing not seasonally appropriate.

I planned the contents of my BOB to help me handle a multitude of different conditions that I might face. In my car, the extra weight and bulk is no big deal. If I have to hoof it any significant distance, my plan is to dump or cache whatever gear is least likely to be needed.

Just be sure to clearly mark the bags, remember that it may not be you who grabs them in an emergency.
Good point - Labels and BIG labels! Checklist. Imagine you call home and say Honey pack the x, y and z. Are they already packed? Easy to find? Light enough to carry?

So Far Im Doing Decently enough with 3 "Module's" Being a 5 gallon bucket of food products, Clothing Filled Duffel Bag And Backpack of Camping Gear.
How is the food bucket carried? Is it in a pack? One large backpack, with maybe one small pack, seems about all that would be manageable by one person without transportation.
