Where did you find the Quick Clot? I was at Wally World yesterday getting some shotgun stuff. Looked at the outdoors stuff and was not impressed at all.

Randy, your doctor prescribed meds. Just a little waterproof container with them in there. Might throw a couple granola bars and trail mix in since they are small and last for a long time--helps with hunger. Hreat looking kit btw.

One more suggestion, but it maybe controversial.

Alcohol, tobacco and firearms

You already covered firearms, but it went with the trio, so I won't go into any detail again.

Alcohol and tobacco are both good for calming you down especially if you are already addicted to one or two of them.

Alcohol also has medicinal qualities and nicotine can help you stay awake if you are in a pinch.

And their third and possibly most important function, bartering. When money becomes obsolete, like in a prison, the most valuable currency is a pack of smokes. They are even good to give away when trying to get allies.

I'd have to agree here as well, I love myself a pipe and a cob (id never bring an expensive pipe w/ me..) +some tobacco +the outdoors = a very relaxing weekend. Granted im definitely in "Casual Pedestrial camping" side more than "Survival" side, but hey.. whatever P:

Thanks Jeff, I had forgot about our Prescription Meds! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> I already have some "Granola" style bars in the truck.

I have thought about trying to find some of the individual "MRE type) one serving instant coffee packs to throw in there. I want to keep this kit rather small (as keeping it all in my 511 Push Pack) but there is my 3 day assault TT pack and a smaller yardsale bag I have for Patty. Matter of fact, I need to get to work stocking that one up with some stuff as well.

Oh and again, THANK YOU ARCH for starting this thread! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I think that most all of us have learned something from this thread, or at least given us additional ideas.

OK, predominately a FAK, but I also have some other stuff in it and there is still room. The main pouch still has room (big enough for 3 canned sodas side by side and one laying across the top). So I still have some room to add more "Stuff" Here is the bag, a 511 Push Pack in Dark Earth tone.

[Linked Image from farm6.static.flickr.com]

I guess I should call it a BOB Lite! If I am home it is too. If I am in one of our vehicles, it is too. It is an augmentation to the regular BOB that is still a continuing work in progress. One Day I will be pretty Satisfied with the BOB I am gradually working on for Myself and a smaller one for Patty.

In this BOB Lite I have the standard FAK items and some "Other stuff" as well.

You can see on the top left, a 3 led (2 white and 1 red) cap bill light and a Smiths diamond sharpening rod. Then the black 25oz water bottle and the whistle. The Swamp Warden is velcroed to the flap and a 3 power level ITI (plus strobe) 1aa flashlight on the right side of the bag on the outside of that zippered pouch.

It's a page or so back so here are the contents again
