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. R

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