So I think I'm going to put together a travel bag. I tend to go away for a day or two at a time rather often. I'm going to try and sneak enough wilderness type stuff in there that in a pinch it'd work as a bug out bag. Has anyone else ever tried this before? I'm thinking a www.onebag.com size bag, with most just travel stuff, but with the addition of perhaps an adventure medical thermo-bivvy.

I think my Escape and Evasion Bag (E&E Bag) contents may assit you:

2 bota bags,
messenger bag,
FAK (3"ace, 2"ace, nitrile gloves, 2 medium dressings, 6-3"x3" sponges, assorted bandaids, adhesive tape),
messkit (dryer lint, HoBo knife, p-38),
wet ones,
1ltr bottled water,
water purification tablets,
Roamer (Teddy bear),
medicine pouch,
zip ties,
5 trash bags,
2 bic lighters,
7 granola bars,
10 coffee bags,
6 Datrex rations,
insect repellant,
metal enameled cup,
deadly,
KaBar knife,
3 bandannas,
road maps,
toilet paper roll,
100ft of paracord,
cotton & leather work gloves,
beef jerky.

I've been trying to download a pic but with no success.

Adding simple prep stuff is easy _- my kit is a jacket, snacks, and a 5x8 envelope of stuff.

Thanks.
