I laugh out loud when I saw the bug out bottle. I can make my own bottle with same ingredients use in TAD gear. This is just excessive consumerism. <img src="/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I laughed at the price too. For $100 I could do much better. It depends on the way you aquire your gear. Such as running in to specials is the key. Like the NRA "survival kit" that had the fox 40 whistle and signal mirror , blast match and a couple other things for $20. Those are the deals to look for. Buying led lights from countycomm.com Those $1 lights are the bomb. Wally World is sometimes pretty good. Why buy a "photon" led headlamp for $30 when you can buy a great 4 led headlamp by energizer for $10 there? Compare sites...countycomm.com sells sparklites for $7 where other sites want $10. I'm a good food shopper, and like I always say.....every store will stick you if you don't know your prices. Even Wal-Mart...which has the highest beer prices around here. Good luck and happy hunting.

I made a Bug out Bottle for my wife's suburban out of left overs from my two or three kits. THe most expensive parts were the bottle and the SAK that I put in there. I think that the total came out to around 30 dollars, if I had bought everything new.

I will need to post a list of the items some day, but it covers all the basics and is even easy enough for my wife to use in an emergency. I think the idea of housing a kit in a bottle like that is a great idea as they are very strong and water proof enough to keep your stuff dry until you need it.
