GHB's vs BOB's

[jloneill17]

What do you keep in your BOB that you wouldn't keep in your GHB?
Also, what do rotate in/out of each one? Clothes, food?

I don't keep a cook set in my GHB like I do my BOB. My BOB has a more extensive first aid kit, food, water, and ammo.
I just rotate the pants and thermals to shorts and tshirt in the summer. my boots/socks stay regardless. I found a new pack I bought from REI clearance, Kelty Redwing 50. pretty light pack. feels more comfy to carry than my Condor 3 day assault pack. my GHB is more tools. metal cutters, knife, saw.

I don't know, but I really need to make one of each.

How much was that Kelty? I was looking at the Peregrine 1800 as an EDC bag.

This is what I have at the moment, its more of a hybrid BOB, GHB... I need a better pack, as the one I have all my stuff in is a cheap give away bag.

In the unlikely event I decide to BO, I'm going to most likely be in a vehicle, and have several BOB's and ammo cans. Essentially I'm taking all of our important documents, family photos and heirloom type items, as much water as we have (I try to keep at least 20 gallons of water in 5 gal jugs on hand) my three buckets of Wise dehydrated food, all 3 BOB's with first aid kits, fire starting materials, batteries, radios, the remainder of all of our pet food, three 5 gallon cans of gas, some spare clothes and shoes, and enough ammunition to finish a war...oh, and all of the rest of our feminine hygiene products.
The car has a trunk big enough to hold it too.

The Kelty was on clearance on the REI website for 74.00. I like the bag.

I keep that stuff in the basement all on shelves next to the safe. god forbid we have to load it all and leave in a hurry. I buy woman hygiene products at the dollar store for cheap. keep that shit stocked up!!

I hear ya. my GHB is specifically for getting home. keep as light as possible. my BOB is built a lot different.

 

[Cudruln]

My bags are combined. Because I travel so much for work and I have no idea where I may be if/when shtf happens.


If I get some time this weekend I will strip it down and take some pics of all my junk.

at that point, I think you grab some douche in the office you hate and force him at gunpoint to carry it for the 100 miles. LOL

I just bought a new bag at the PX at Ft. Knox.... The problem is, I like the bag so much, I dont want to make it my GHB/BOB truck bag. I also bought some uber cool Oakley gloves, that fit my little T-rex hands perfectly.

I have not forgot about yall. Between being slammed at work, I am having some medical issues that had limited me getting around. As soon as I get over this crap I will get it out of the truck.

 

[jloneill17]

i'll try to pop some pics of my crap on sunday.

 

[Lurker66]

Here's my typical "do all" bag.

Well I guess I need to read up on posting pics.

So guess what I finally did tonight before the vacation trip to the beach. I went through the bag and even snapped some pics. I will get something written up and get everything uploaded this week why I am lounging by the pool/beach.

So I was finally able to dig my ghb out from the truck and get some pics of it before I brought it with me on vacation.

Things to keep in mind. I keep a wreck bag (minimum of 5 days of clothes) with me at all times, so I do not keep clothes in the ghb. Also there are a few tools (axe, hand saw, etc) that I would be grabbing from my work truck before I had to ditch it. With that being said feel free to critique any and everything.

The bag. Generic tacticool looking bag of good quality that I picked up from a gun show some years back. I have been pleased with it for what I use it for. It has ample amount of storage and carries well for me.

2. Small outside lower pouch. A couple different options for starting a fire. A roll of paracord. A compass, multitool and back up blade. Small items from the mre packs. 2 backup 17 round mags for the edc 9c. The esee ls rides on the outside of the bag

More to come.......
