Is the cat gonna carry his/her own? I would love to see that, and I suspect that Blast would love to be the one to load it...

No, we'll carry their BoB's for them. Blast will not get the chance to load the cat's BoB with the appropriate amount of thermite to "cook", uh, I mean support the cat for a week.

Besides, Mr. Coconut and I have an understanding, I pet him once a day and he leaves me alone the rest of the time!!!

I think the dogs are up to carrying their own food, some water, bowls, meds, and winter type clothes that they use.

RAZ
Sorry

I thought the original post was titled "BOB Bag" I might be wrong, sometimes I forget to clean my glass's ......lol If we're talking about something with 4 wheels then perhaps a station wagon, mini van or extended cab truck.


Hello Shadow and others! Well I was wondering what I should use as a BOB bag for my family of 4. My kids are young, 3 1/2 and 8 months so I figure the wifey will carry the youngest and my boy can walk himself . For the most part I will be the one carrying the bag/items we take. My wifey is pretty useless when it take any strength.... wink

As for a vehicle, we will be taking the "man van" unless things turn bad.

Dave

I use military packs for my (Austrian Army) and my nephew's (Swedish Army) BoB's.

My DW has a commercially padded backpack and DD2 & BF have small school type backpacks for their BoB's. This pack is not a dedicated BoB which is why I am getting her a 2 person Bob from RedFlare.

DD1 has a very small back pack that holds 3 days of her "special needs" equipment. This pack is inadequate to hold the amount of supplies that she needs. I am getting her a 1 person BoB from RedFlare and I will get her something else for her "special needs" equipment. This second pack will have to fit onto the back of her wheelchair along with her BoB.

Well if it was me with a wife and 2 kids, the boy I would make a a bag for him nothing to heavy, maybe flashlight,bottle of water,granola bars, rain poncho, comfort items, favorite candy and stuffed animal etc. The wife and youngest I would use a large duffel bag, with clothes, food water etc. and also include items for the boy. Then for myself I would have a quality backpack with gear such as radios,snares,signaling,knives etc. things you wouldn't want the children getting hold of.

I'm just tossing out a few ideas, I'm sure others will either agree or disagree and have their own suggestions, read it all and sort out what works for you.

Hope some of it helps.

Thanks Shadow. How do people feel about alice packs (US). I see that they can be had for around 50.00 or so with the frame.

"...How do people feel about alice packs (US)?..."

In my humble opinion, they suck. High quality, as far as materials/construction go, reasonable price, painful to carry...
