My BOB/GHB/General purpose bag

[Trawlerman]

I don't really have a particular scenario for my bag so i'm a little unsure of what to call it.
I will be carrying it when out on the moorlands and whilst i'm out in the wilderness so although it can be purposed as a BOB i'm also going to be using for other stuff.

No matter, here is what I have in it so far .............

Does it all fit?! 30l sounds small for the contents

[Trawlerman]

Only just! It's crammed full right now.

There has been lots of speculation that the bag I'm using might not be 30l as advertised.

[valderee]

Lots of stuff in there, got some tips from your list thank you.

I'm curious about the Glucagon? Are you diabetic or have someone with you that is? It seems like a lot of fuss with keeping it in date for someone who might be having a hypo. the dextrose tabs i totally see and even carrying hypostop gel is good (it works in the unconsious patient as well, but take a very long time).

The rest of the bag looks really good. I found several things I was missing.
