Title: Roast my BOB.
Post by: KnifeStyle on November 24, 2025, 08:51:49 PM
Spent the last few weeks planning multiple funerals, my sanity cooldown was redoing my BOB. Not pictured: a fold-up solar panel kept in my car, and firearm kits including my CCW and a 10-22.

Life is hell right now, but man what a flat lay...

This is a hilariously great idea! But we need a complete load out list in order to properly roast it?! 

This should be a stickie. Great idea! And I applaud your confidence! And your mental health solutions. I to have done the same. A little planning, organization and packing can really calm the nerves. 👍😁

From what I can see you've done an excellent job! Beyond your metal water bottle for boiling what are you using for water filtration/purification?

Would love to hear what's in your pouches? Wet weather gear, shelter, clothing, footwear?

Also what's your AO and intended use scenario? That makes all the difference in the world. Everyone needs a different load out depending on environment and what you want to accomplishment.

And that's usually where talking about load outs breaks down. Lol! What's essential for me in my AO with whatever length or location of bug out I have in mind - will be completely different for you. But an awesome thought exercise thinking about someone else's situation and what their needs might include.

That little Vondior radio looks.like one I posted in the Bargains and Deals section a few years back. Great thread topic title, BTW.  Is that metal waterbottle single or double walled? Being able to heat water with it is useful.
