Yes its a Bug Out Bag Wash And Brush Up Kit (BOBWABUK)



A durable Camouflage roll kit with hanging hook and mirror.



Consisting;

Tooth Brush and Toothpaste (traveler size)
Razor and spare disposable blades
Shave Oil
Facewash
Bar of Soap (Bog Myrtle and Stinging Nettle)
Chapstick
Handy Towel
Sani-hands disposible wipes.
Small deodorant (traveler size)
Sun Cream SPF25

TP and Comb are kept elsewhere. This type of kit, is I think much overlooked as a ways and means to keep up moral in difficult circumstances. There is no need not to look neat, tidy and clean when the SHTF as well as maintaining some semblance of hygiene.

Anything to add or remove?

You do realize, of course, that everyone else is going to smell just so much worse?

Some of this I understand. Even in a survival situation we need to shower (deodorant optional), brush our teeth and maintain our nails. But do men really need to shave in a survival situation?

Speaking of nails, I would include nail care.

mine is a little more Spartan... would add dental floss, medicated baby powder, some topical antifungal (I live in Florida)and regular foot powder, heavy duty toe nail clippers

As an aside. Keep an eye on the deodorant expiration date (if any). Expired deodorant smells funky.

Actually I keep a similar bag packed. I live 250 miles away from my parents and farming can sometime be dangerous. My father has been in the hospital a couple times due to farm accidents, most recent was when they were butchering the day before they were to drive up to our house for thanksgiving so we packed up at the last minute and ran down there for thanksgiving. Another time was when i was at work and my mother called to let us know the hospital said there was nothing else they could do for my grandmother so they were sending her home so we had to call my wife and tell her to pack as I was driving home.
Those types of situations can happen where you needs to leave home quickly and get somewhere else, you can prepare for thm just like preparing to get lost in the woods.
I have a toilerty kit for each family member that i rotate supplies through, when we need a new toothbrush it goes in the kit and the one in the kit goes in the bathroom for use.
Those all stay ready in the closet next to the suitcases so if somehting happens we can just drop them in and go. Enough there to go for a few days so we don;t have to find a store and with my parents being rural the nearest store is 45 minutes away and is a walmart so there isn't much of a selection either.
Its just another layer of my kits, I have my EDC with me, my GHB and breakdown supplies in the vehicles, the go bags hanging in our rooms and then to extended go layer of the suitcase and kits.

Tried once for about 10 days to grow a beard, but failed miserably because of the grotty feel.




An antifungal foot powder would be nice but is a little bulky and heavy. I haven't really had any problems with athletes foot (X Static woolen Socks or equivalent silver impregnated socks really help), but if the feet get a little funky then a foot rub made from the small bottle of Bog Myrtle (from the FAK) would be used in a higher concentration if the Bog Myrtle soap wasn't cutting it.

Nail clippers have been added to the BOBWABUK.

Dental floss is a good idea, I think its in the FAK. Would some powerpro spectra braid fishing line (18lb test) from the fishing kit double up, but without the minty taste?



There was no expiration date on the Nivea Spray deodorant. The propellant was butane so could also double up as a useful fire starter or keep away snakes James Bond style.

For the deodorant question. I use the Crystal(tm) salt sticks. It is good on the pits and feet. Salts are natural antimicrobial an have no ingredients to go funky. Granted, they are fragile, but I like them. They last a long time - months and months.

A fine thread!

For your consideration:

small bottle of liquid "mouth wash"
Wonder Bar or other scent neutralizing metal bar
condums
choose biodegradable / flushable wipes

For deodorant you should try a crystal deodorant stone.They are made of mineral crystals.You can find them in health food stores and in some big box stores.Deodorant stones do not have perfumes in them.This is a plus as perfumes can attract nasty insects and bees.the minerals inhibit the growth of odor causing bacteria.I've used them for years and am only on my third one(they last that long) and they don't melt in summer heat.
Consider using shaving mug soap and brush.There is no can to puncture,discharge or explode.In a pinch it can be used for bathing.....
