My BOB is also my daypack for hiking and my cat's scratching post/ sleeping platform ( german army daypack in tough olive canvas.) last time I went bird watching this lady suffered a nasty fall and very messy multiple cuts , contusions, abrasions and all those other medical terms for 'ouchies.' Aside from a few bandaids and sample size messy ointments I was the only person with anything approaching a serious first aid kit. I pulled out my 9x9 tarp, spread it on the ground and DUMPED the rucksack contents. Then after quick rummaging ( elation, THERES my missing Pink Floyd CD <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) I had the needed items. Back into the ruck everything got dumped and we rigged a temporary shelter with the now bare tarp until the Park Rangers could drive up and bring her down. A few people looked at me wondering what my bathroom must look like <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />). Settng up kits is fun, having the junk,er gear on hand is funner.
