Basically since its just my gf and i have a perfect idea for our BOB's.
i BOB is a full 72 hr BOB that has all med kits, mre's, water, tablets, tube tents, etc essential for bugging out that she will carry and its light weight
the second bag which is what ill be carrying contains our 2 tactical vests with ammo, radios, 2 knives, and a couple other misc. things. this bag once to a safe area will either be lightened severely or tossed away
the NUMBER#1 thing i always see/hear with ppl and their bugout bags...overpacked and too much weight of unneccessary items.
My gf and i plan to have just enough supplies which is what the 1st BOB is for to get to our bugout location. the 2nd BOB is just supplies to ensure we get to our bugout location. in the end only 1 BOB is what will be left.
Your BOB should include just enough of the necessities to get you to your location whether youre hiking, biking, motorcycling, or using a car or some form of transportation to get you there and that's it...nothing more and nothing less.
Your bug out location is where your main supplies for sustained living should be located.
This is just my opinion and you may already know these things. I'm just saying from someone who has been homeless and shelterless and survived months at a time if not yrs...you wanna travel light esp. for long distances of travel. The average american has never been homeless or shelterless much less walked a mile in their shoes to understand the more you carry 2 things can happen: you get robbed or you exhaust yourself and your supplies due to the weight youre carrying.
like i said its just my opinion here and may have jumped the gun abit...sorry!

I get excited sometimes talkin about this stuff...lol
