The tool bag and Bug Out Bag were items mentioned in my other article here in the Travelin' section:

https://www.dieselbombers.com/travel...-list-how.html

I thought I would go ahead and break down the contents of them a little further here.

Here’s my Tool Bag.

Well, allot of the tools are pretty self explanatory by just seeing a picture, so I’m only going to list the things that are not obvious.

Spare Fuel pump.
Spare lift pump Filter
Spare fuse Kit
RTV
JB Weld
Mosquito repellant
Oil filter tool
Teflon Tape
Assorted hose clamps
Spare Relays
Butane soldering kit
Filter housing O-ring
Air line
Remote for Winch
Siphon hose

My intent is to only have to use the BOB for 3 days or less, and the items contained in it are what I consider bare minimum to keep me “comfortably alive” for that period.

Here’s my Bug Out Bag:

To aid in waterproofing things, Items that I use once I open them, I vacuum seal.
If it’s an Item I’ll access several times, it’s in a Ziploc bag.

45ACP, Toilet paper, Binoculars, FRS Radios, Parachute cord.
9 clips + 50 rounds, beanie, Gloves.

Items you may carry in a BOB may differ, depending on you, your geographical location, and what your intended use for the BOB may be.

Any thoughts?

 

Awesome ....you musta been in Scouts...

 

Nice set up, and I thought I had a lot........

 

nice

 

Very COOL! I actually added a small 22 cal rifle to my items.

 

I was actually thinking y'all would think I was a NUT for carrying so much stuff, maybe a few of you do...

Sometimes, having all this stuff comes in handy for other people, sometimes I need something, so I don't mind so much haulin' it around...

It's not like I don't have room for it or something.

 

no, thats very good, it always feel like im forgeting something when i travel, but i got me a check list now

 

Very nicely done. Most people don't have a clue when it comes to a Bug Out Bag.

You are not alone. I carry almost the exact same items in my truck at all times.

I didn't see these items in your BOB.

Magnesium fire starter or wax dipped strike anywhere matches.

A small folding saw or coiled wire saw.

Water purification tablets or purification filter hand pump.

 

I use the vaseline cotton ***** to help start fire, but I could also use a Mag fire starter...
so far, the lighters and matches haven't failed me... but then this is the desert...

Water purification tablets are there, in the 1st aid kit.

No saw yet... any suggestions?

 

Stihl with a 24" bar of course Bill!!!!! Seriously though, there are some nice fold up units in Cabelas. Just drive over there (it's by the jiffy pop stadium)
