My wife was pretty irritated with me when I asked her to bring the BOB I built for her on a camping trip with her Girl Scout Troop. She brought it under protest.

She used the multitool, the first aid kit, and the flashlight in the BOB on that trip. Nobody had thought to bring a knife or a first aid kit, and the cheap incan flashlight that she bought at Target broke within the first few minutes.

Now she keeps the BOB in her car. She knows what's in it and lets me know when items are used so that I can restock it.
