sorry, sleeping bag is clipped under BOB lol, have put most of the items in watertight bags so can use them if needs be, rope is the nylon stuff(was easier to say rope) haha, also have mini fishing kit, have made a basic sewing kit up but is sat on the shelf at present! :oops: must admit a cup didnt cross my mind, is now on my to do list along with the metal cutlery. list does include first aid :)

Thanks for input, much appreciated

A pocket sized mutitool and a small folding knife.
It may never happen. Best to be prepared just in case.

You have got me thinking, a large part of my BOB is taken up by a change of clothes , my thinking being that in the case of fire I wont have time to get dressed, just grab my BOB and out the window.

It would free up a lot of space if I ditched the clothes ??

Opinions :?:
