I dissolved some Lifecaps and absorbed them into a corner of my towel. Also, I wove several snare wires in a border on one side of the towel.   8)

You think thats bad? BOB's are usually made with one person in mind. Imagine how hard it would be to do this if you have a couple of kids.

You have to prepack diapers, formula, plus all the other stuff you need in miniature form for the kidlets. It's exponentially more difficult.

We should talk about bug-out bags again :)

What am I missing from my list of things I want to put in mine (I do not have most of these)?

Food/Water/Fire
Disposable Lighter
Waterproof Matches + Case and match booklets
First Aid Kit
Hiking First Aid Kit
Water Purification Tablets
Mess Kit
Water Bottles
Mainstay Ration (9, 400 cal meals for $7 and a 5 year shelf life)
2nd water purifier
Candle

Tools/Gear
Folding Shovel
Hatchet/Hammer
Good Knife
Cheap Knife
Multitool
LED Light + Batteries
Compass
Mirror
Whistle
Fishing Gear minus a pole/reel
Tape
Knife Sharpener
Nylon Rope
Needle/Thread
Plastic Bags/Garbage Bags

Shelter
Small Tent
Tarp
Mosquito Netting
Xtra clothing (gloves/hat/socks)
Sunscreen
Insect Repellent

Ammo/Weap./Trade
Mosin Nagant + ammo
Extra ammo including shotgun shells
Informative papers on survival including "How to Stay Alive in the Woods" by Bradford Angier
Coins (silver)

50 cal. ammo cans to put it in. As long as they are pristine (most are) they will keep most anything you put in them dry and bug proof. MRE's are good to have, also when the days hunting doesn't go so well. One book I have is the US Army Special Forces Medical Handbook, ST 31-91B (probably updated even more, now). Also assume there will be no more batteries and obtain an AM/FM SW radio that has a hand cranked generator. If you have to have some electricity, get a small generator that is currently gas powered and "engineer" it to run off alcohol, the kind you can make out of corn squeezin's. Get a case of 3 in 1 oil to keep guns lubed, a case of synthetic oil for the generators crankcase (won't go bad for a long time), a weapons cleaning kit and 2 gallons of Hoppes #9 and 2 gallons of WD40. Mix the Hoppes and WD40 half and half-makes and excellent bore cleaner and powder solvent. If you have the money, a cartridge and a shotshell reloader with all the powder, bullets and die you might need. A CB radio would be good also if the SHTF sho-nuff.
