I have a bug out bag. It carries implements I'd find useful if I needed to hunt, fish, make shelter, fix injuries out in the bush, sew, repair tools, carry water, carry injured friends, see in the dark, cook in the woods, etc... It is a bag meant in my opinion to sustain long term camping - and I modeled it off what a friend took on a hunting/fishing trip he was going on that was going to take him off the grid for 4 weeks..
A GHB is different - for me it covers everything in a 72 hr kit and has an IFAK. It's designed around (for me) an up to 60 mile trip home, over 3 days, walking. No idea what I'd face. It has basic tools, food, ammo, a handgun, some cash, meds/ifak, spare sneakers/socks/underwear, 5 different ways to make fire, mylar sleeping bags, wipes, and some other things. Below I'll show you some.
- Sawyer Mini Filter - This filters up to 100k gallons and has a backwash system so you can clean it as needed. <3
- VAS Fire Box - Includes Water Proof Standard Match Holder with Signal Mirror, and Striker, Lighter Fluid Flask is Both Lighter Fluid Wick and Magnesium Striker as well as Two Kindle Pons®, String Lanyard and Carabiner Clip
- 326pc First Aid Kit - overkill and I did change it into a soft panel bag, removed pieces and added as needed but this is an excellent kit.
- Headlamp plus spare batteries
- 6 16.9 oz bottles of water. I got at CVS 24 for $2.50.
- Paracord belt - whatever Im wearing, this is being put on my body.
- Rescue Knife - I like it's extras, find your own favorite knife.
- Mylar Blankets - not so comfy but damned important if you're outdoors. Can also be a poncho.
- Hat, Sunglasses, Bandanna, Work Gloves
- Cheap Radio and earbuds, batteries.
- Multitool - I have a leatherman, find your own - mine is not the one I want the most so I'm not talking about it. I bought a cheaper leatherman than I now want.
- Baby Wipes
