That's a good point Bugman. In all fairness I should add that where I live and work the climate is quite warm for 9 months out of the year so for those 9 months my BOB does not require heavy clothes or sleeping gear other than what is needed for my one year old son. If I lived in the Alps it would be a bigger BOB for sure.

Oh and Frenchy, when I post my contents I will do it in the other other forum since it will very much be a gear-related post. I am going to post my EDC, PSK and BOB contents all at once so you guys can make suggestions and such.

Oh and you're right.... my BOB does not contain wine or fancy goose liver pate. Although I have considered a flask of brandy once or twice. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Edit: It's a highly polished metal flask so it would make a great backup signalling device ... um... ya... signalling .... that's what it's for! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
