I was talking to someone today that was bragging about his Emeg Kit; best knife, tools, etc. I ask if this was his stay-at-home, outdoor, office, RV, car, boat, personal, kit...what? Obviously flustered, this guy blurted out "all you really need is one top quality kit." I have 8 kits in the various locations that I frequent and I am just curious as to how many Emer Kits you guys have?

1. EDC minimal
2. Daypack /w small first aid, small survival, 550-cord, multi-tool, emergency heat shield, gloves, camera, etc.
3. Car kit /w full first aid, car items, emergency food/water, etc.
4. BOB /w ID, extra clothes, food/water/shelter, etc.
5. General camping gear
6. Household items /w another first aid
7. A few extra items stashed at the office.

plus 3 or 4 mini kits in various trial forms :-)

If I had more assets I'd probably have more kits. As it stands now I've got one in the car, apartment, daypack, dog pack.

1) I have my BoB with me
2) My primary supplies are at home
3) I have a small kit in 1 vehicle
4) DD2 and her BF each have BoB's with primary & secondary vehicles
5) Nephew has a BoB
6) Some supplies are cached at secondary Bug Out location
7) I have Bug Out plans for multiple situations
8) I have a shelter plan for residence with equipment on hand
9) All contingency plans and Intel is organized & kept up to date
10) HurCon & ThreatCon Checklists are up to date

A) I still have to prepare a kit for another vehicle
B) I am about to cache a large amount of my supplies/reference material in a storage rental unit very near my primary Bug Out Location
C) I still have to prepare BoB's for DW & DD1
D) I still have to resolve the cooling problem for emergency shelter/summer months

BOB at home and in both cars. EDC, small kit at work, supplies and another BOB in the stoeage space. FAK & trauma kit in my car, FAK in the other, Large 7 medium med kits for camping, etc.
Camelbak for hiking has it's own PSK and FAK.

My BOB.
Wife's BOB.
And son's BOB.
Somehow, wife's BOB is lighter than the other two.

Blast,

I believe a better term is "gear ho" rather than "bag ho". "Gear ho" is more inclusive and therefore more politically correct (don't have the ignore the "knife hos", "the firemaking hos" and the "non-perishable food hos."

My DW just refers to my ETS stuff as my "toys". Unfortunately, Santa doesn't seem to bring me any new ones at Christmas or birthday time.
