    Is your BOB/GHB/INCH bag done yet?

    So many of us, myself included put everything else before completing important things like this. I have everything for my bag, but haven't put everything in my bag as of yet, it would take me an hour of so to get everything together, but time/life always seems to get in the way.

    So where are you when it comes to your BOB/GHB/INCH bag?

    It's been done for about 6 years. Like most ARs on here, it's gone through many changes and gets lighter and lighter as time goes by. If you've never been in the military, you need to get it together and get out with it. After a few rucks you'll have an idea of what you actually need and what you are willing do without. There were guys that used to pack EVERY issued item and they'd be sucking wind like no tomorrow. And then make the same mistake, AGAIN, the next time I learned to be a "minimalist" if you will, real fast.

    digdug, I'm with you. I have almost everything for my BOB and GHB, but I've yet to pack them up. I'm going to put my GHB together tomorrow, and possibly even start in to packing my BOB. There's plenty of time to procrastinate next weekend.

    I'm in the category of "its never done". Just like training or anything else related to fighting and survival.

    For a more measurable answer. I have an INCH bag that is assembled. Always meaning to put more in then my more evolved brain points out to it being pointless or more hassle than its worth though there is the occasional add in. Some add ins allow for a take out, some times there is a take out because it failed the latest pass.

    Will be some things outside the pack that will be thrown in last second if possible but I made sure to have certain elements in the pack at all times such as multiple fire sources, containers for water, purification tablets, enough food for some energy for short term, 550 cord, tarps, socks, underwear, small first aid kit, SOL kit, multi-tool, and some other crap.

    Would like to have something in my car as well, for the most part though I don't range that far, but if something did happen away from home.

    Attention Boker55

    Look sir I think this is the wrong place for you to be finding topics 10 months old and adding nothing of value in order to add to your post count. Please do yourself a favor and quit.

    I'm not a prepper or anything, but I do have an emergency bag I've been putting together for my trunk. Its just in case of a break down in remote location or something like that. I have all of the major items, but I'm hoping that I'll get the actual bag I want for Christmas. Right now I just have a generic, cheap backpack.

    My bags constantly change depending on what I am doing and where I am going. I am not in a hurricane prone area, and since you really can't bug-out from tornadoes my plan is to bug in, not out. This makes my bags all some sort of get-home bag.

    Going to a class three hours away across Kansas is a bit different than when I drove to Ohio last September, 14 hours straight through.

    I change what I take depending on what I will doing doing at the place I am going, what I'm doing along the way, time of year/weather, etc.

    I even change long guns quite often. If I am headed to a carbine class then obviously I am set. When I am out of town on opening weekend for pheasent and I have my 11-87 bird gun I also bring the extra slug barrel and a selection of proven reliable in that gun OO buck and slugs. When I am not going to be doing any shooting as part of the trip and it's a family thing I have my Kel Tec sub2000 because it's low profile and uses the same ammo and mags as my Glock 9mms.

    I always have a plan in the back of my head as to how I am going to walk home if need be, and what I might need to pull that off.

    So, I guess my bag is never really packed until it is.
