Ok. No pictures, I'm afraid, but I have spent the time to make a list of what's in my BOB for your edification and delight. I am very nervous about posting this as I am not sure what sort of reaction it will get, but here it is anyway.

Here where I live in New Zealand we have two major natural hazards. Earthquakes could happen at any time, and flooding is possible from either excessive rain or one of the major rivers changing course.

We will most likely Bug-In. In the shed in the garden (away from the house) there is a tent and camping equipment, together with a large amount of water in 3l bottles and other supplies. The BOB is to get away if there is flooding, or significant earthquake damage to the region (meaning we can't Bug-In).

I have a few things to add, but this is the first time I'd go so far as to say the BOB is complete. It weighs 9.6kg.

Your comments are welcome- especially if there is something missing, but also if you want to ask pointed questions that I can think about to make sure I 'get it'.

Thanks,

A

PPS The spreadsheet records expiry dates and pops up a warning on expired items, and it also totalises the amount of cash and the number of AAA cells required for everything.
