A little bit more on Bug Out Bags

The suggested contents of a bug-out bag vary, but most of the following are usually included:

Canada recommends 2 litres per person per day for drinking plus an additional 2 litres per person per day for cleaning and hygiene. New Zealand recommends 3 litres per person per day for drinking US recommends 1 gallon (3.78 litres) per person per day.
-Non-perishable food
-water purification supplies
-Cooking supplies

A first aid kit
Fire starting tool (e.g., matches, ferrocerium rod, lighter, etc.)

Thanks BP! Inspired me to dig out a spare 25L rucksack to make a BOB (we currently only have a 10L Go Bag rucksack each - good only for overnight).

just brought this one off of good old ebay, perfect for a BOB, mine can last me 72 hours but i pack small and light, theres another 40L one which is 10 quid more expensive, yet is nearly double the size!

4 different pockets ranging in sizes, molle attachments and D rings. space in the back for a 3ltr camelbak.... ermmm, strong dpm, waist strap etc

Interesting. I personally don't maintain a BoB, as I don't intend to bug-out I guess. I'm more interested in getting home and bugging in, as I don't live in a city. So my priority is my EDC, which has everything to get me home.
