Michael,

Not everyone has the time or hobby motivation to put together a complete B.O.B. for themselves or family. If you go the prefab-BOB route, I would still recommend a bit of post purchase customization to fit your personal needs.

Being a good Utah boy, you are lucky to be in the same state as two excellent preparedness companies.

Emergency Essentials- http://beprepared.com/

and

Nitro-Pak http://www.nitro-pak.com/

Both companies provide pre-assembled survival kits. The 72 hour kits are a good start.

I would prefer that someone purchase a less than ideal BOB than to have nothing because they were unable to put together a BOB before a crisis.

Good luck, TR
