This is a bit long but here goes.

After reading Lasermonkeys Challenge, This is what I did. (I didn?t use his 30 Seconds)

I decided to invent a scenario: Evacuation called while at work. Get home, grab and go as quick as you can. Evacuate by car. (so don?t say ?what if you had to walk etc <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />, this is what I am working with for the test)

How to test: timed from keys removed from ignition. End time when loaded everything at front door (didn?t want neighbor?s involved) Then check through contents. So extra time should be added to throw it all in the car.

Quick description, I have a BOB half stocked, ready to go with various items packed in Pelican Case type cases and other packs ready to grab. There are some double ups across different packs as you will see in final contents.

What I had on me before I started.
iPaq PDA, Leatherman Wave (old style), Surefire E1e with LED Head, Spare CD123 battery, Mobile Phone, Suunto clipper compass, JetScream whistle, Keys with 512Mb USB Disk, Magnesium Flint fire starter,Res-Q-Me tool. Fully clothed with jumper, shirt, cargo pants and Steel cap boots.

What I did:
Enter house, grab a bag go, to kitchen throw in food tins. Go to bedroom grab clothes. Go to BOB area and grab and pack everything inside front door.

So it took me 8 minutes (7:56 to be exact, aprox.10 packed in car) and I did 1 pass through the house. I could have decided to include in my scenario to do a 2nd pass and pick up more gear I have easy to grab. Eg 2 burner stove and gas bottles.

One obvious thing I walked past and didn?t grab was my tent. (I guess I will try and remember next time.)

So I laid everything out and this is what I got out with: ( not including things already in car or on me)
