Welcome to the new place, zombunny.

Just found out about the newer forum. Same username as the old one. \m/

Kind of a cool little device. Clips on your Mora for horizontal carry.

So I mentioned this pack is modular, here you can see the three sections

Its one of Camelbak's military packs and while i didn't need a military pack it was the best i found that meet my needs.
You can see I used it tonight from the dirt on the main pack (left).
The zipper at the bottom has a rain cover thats attached. One side is camo, the other side bright orange. You unzip the pocket and pull it out and up and over the pack.
Then the brown sticking out to the left is a FroggTogg rain gear, there it a thin top and bottom folded up in there.
The paracord on the handle at the top and my Gopro and Inreach mini2 on the front.
Thats everything on the outside, then there is the 3L water bladder in the main section.

Yep.  We also need a detailed content list, hopefully with some surprising additions and thought-provoking rationales/explanations for them.

Yeah, @eugenenine has anyone ever called you a BOB tease? Its just not right. 

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say, 'We love gear lists!'

Illegal camping laws and ordinances are gaining a lot of traction, so you may want to read up on them. Some of the things that can be considered illegal camping aren't immediately obvious either. In my state, sleeping in your car with a pillow and blanket on public land or right-of-way can get you a ticket, and repeat offensives can get you jail time. Camping on public land in any location other than a designated camping site is illegal here, too. Due diligence is the order of the day here, and this topic may be important enough for a thread of it's own.

Not something I even thought of but you're not wrong.

I remember back in the 70s. When "Overlanding" was what you did with your family in a truck and camper. Or the family station wagon. You pulled over in any wide spot, gathered some rocks, made a fire. Camped over night. No body gave a shit. And there wasn't a 2bn off road industry trying to sell you "essentials" that if you didn't have you probably wouldn't survive. Lol! What a joke.

But then after the housing crisis I would drive into the national forest. The roads are lined with camping spots every few miles that people have used over the years. Nothing more than worn out turn outs with old fire pits. Each one was full with a fairly nice trailer. That had enough stuff outside it you could tell these were professional campers. Making the required move every few days. So as not to violate any Forest Service ordinances. And that was like there permanent camping situation. Not homeless. Not crapped out RVs full of meth heads like in LA. Just regular folks who couldn't afford to live in a rental.

Now we have laws. It's pitiful. My youth was spent most weekends driving around public lands. Fishing, hunting, camping, foraging. Learning the outdoors. It was wonderful.

Now it's a subdivision.

Had to replace my Gopro mount so I took a pic of my BOB

Though BOB doesn't describe it well, its my do everything bag.
This is the main section, its a long discontinued Camelbak Transformer. The other two modules are not on it at the moment.
I try to keep as minimal as I can knowing I'm not going to carry a lot for a long distance.
I also try to constantly use/test my gear. This bag has been on my back over 700 miles this year.
