I just put together a BOB for my daughter who is attending a university`in another city. Her multi-year boyfriend is at the university as well. The primary threat to her is the second largest refinery in the country being next door and up-wind of the university. Her boyfriend is an Eagle Scout but has no BOB. I packed basic equipment for the bag but included extra rations for him as well. I have asked him to put together a BOB and he can use the "extra's" that I have included in her kit, which will then lighten her load somwhat. Besides her car as the primary escape vehicle, she knows to "hang" their bicycles on before Bugging Out, as secondary vehicles.
When one refuses "to get it", the "realistic" one must allow for it and prepare anyway!
