B.O.B./72 hour kit advice needed.

[NukeRJ]

I have survival kits that are fairly big in each vehicle and are fairly identical. I have a 72 hour bag that I keep in the front closet that has three days worth of clothes for each member of the family (me and my fiance'). Also towels, food, a few survival items, toothbrushes, soap, etc. My idea with this is that it could be used for any reason needing to leave the house in an emergency such as a fire.

All these are separate from my survival packs for camping that are very large and full of all sorts of goodies.

Kev, great idea in different types of bags, but as to not confuse Rooski, perhaps some clarification.

Rooski, your 72 hour bag for any SHTF situation needs to concentrate on necessities, in other words, some food, medical kit, any required medication for family members, water carrying capability, a defensive weapon or two. You will not need extra clothes or toothbrushes and toothpaste. extra socks and one lightweight rain proof jacket per individual and a poncho is better served. Binos are always good to have as well. The only other optional item i would add is light comfortable shoes just in case you are caught out on date night, high heels would be terrible for the lady to travel in.
