The concept for this bug out bag is 72 hours by itself, but i've constructed a modular system, in that with the addition of one other bag it is a complete 1 week kit, and so on, this provides me with a lot a lot flexibility. With each kit strategically adding to the next, and support caches in hidden location. but still a lot of work to go and tweaking.

Well, I don't think it's too much of overkill and here's why:

1. Two or three knives. Most are carrying a folding knife, a fixed blade, and a multitool. The folding knife is used for quick tasks when you want something that is handy and quick to access, most are probably carrying this in their pocket. The fixed blade is most likely inside or attached to the pack so it's not quite as quick to access, but you'll want it for heavier tasks where the folder is not sufficient. The multitool is nice to have because it has the screw drivers, pliers, and other tools that would be too heavy to carry separately, but not too heavy when combined into one item.

2. Handgun. The handgun is not duplicated elsewhere in the kit, so I wouldn't consider it redundant and certainly not overkill. No other tool is a very good substitute when you need a gun.

3. Two or more lighters and a firelighting pack. Lighters don't weigh much and will be well worth the minimal weight. The old saying "two is one, one is none" is applicable here. I don't want to have to start a fire using a bow drill during an emergency. That said my preference is not two lighters, but two separate fire starting methods. I carry a lighter and a ferrocium rod.

4. Multiple torches (flashlights for those of us on this side of the pond). Again, "two is one, one is none." My preference is one flashlight (Surefire Fury) and one headlamp. That way I have redundancy without duplication and they are useful for different purposes.

Is doubling up overkill? Maybe in some circumstances it is. In an emergency or survival situation I'd rather start with a little more than I need and drop items if for some reason I need to cut weight for long distance travel. Of course there are other opinions and your mileage may vary.

-LongHaul

Not to mention that there may be more than one person with you. If you have your wife and kids, for example, and you have to split up, you'll want extra gear to give to them.

Well, first of all, all of my gear serves multi purpose roles, the pack I am about to show you is my grab and go pack that affords me 3 days in my local environment. I also use this same pack for SAR work and it is packaged in such a way to not stand out in a crowd and be useful in a SAR environment.

Let's start out with the user side....



First I use an Osprey Talon 22 pack, two shoulder pouches, one is occupied by a Kershaw folder, the other I use for utility, It's currently home to a Sidewinder Compact, the waist pouches contain a Brunton compass and a Gerber EOD tool. The shoulder points have various things, pace beads, chapstick holder, lens wipe (I always wear safety glasses when in the woods) and a Fox 40 whistle. The side pouches carry 1L Sig bottles, and the pack is hydration compatible, I have several bladders that all fit in there.

Next,



I added a pouch inside the bag to carry small things, flagging tape, cyalume sticks, water purification tabs, a purifying straw, bug juice, fire tinder (cotton gauze and vasoline), magnesium and strikers, zip ties, silver coins, some US cash [both coin and paper currency], that kinda thing. I zip tied this pouch in, it's formally a pencil pouch.

Next:



The utility group. Bivy and a mylar blanket, 2 field stripped MREs, microfiber camp towel, small boo-boo / med bag (which is supplemented with the blow out bag on my tactical belt) and a utility box containing a sewing kit, fishing kit, duct tape, super glue, that kind of small stuff. I also include two razor blades wrapped in masking tape, 100 ft of paracord.

Then,



The electronics and mapping group. Map of local area, a SPOT, and 2 GPSes. In an SAR enviroment, I turn both on. Both are powered by lithium batteries, and I carry a spare set of batteries. All are rotated annually.

Next,



The Top pouch, contains TP, a bandanna, a cheap poncho, a Eat'n Tool, and a Petzl headlamp. (also on the lithium battery diet)

I supplement this with a US Grunt Gear belt, 9mm M&P, AR mags, and mags/blow out bag/utility along with spare clothes and shoes in a separate shove-it bag (I sometimes get dirty at work, so they are also my spare clothes, and always appropriate (and clean!) for the ambient weather.)

Being modular allows me to suit my gear for the task at hand, and be as open/closed up about my current status (The Grunt Gear belt can go in the backpack with the clothing bag if you stuff it.) I know it's not perfect, but nothing in there can hurt. This kit also supplements the things I already have in my pockets, which is a flashlight, pen knife, etc.

[kirkwood007]

This doesn't include my pocket carry items which include my knife, wallet, keys, main sunglasses and wallet. Can't carry my xd to work either so it's not on my person or in my bag, sadly.

[kirkwood007]

Forgot to mention that I really need a water bottle and simple first aid kit in this bag. Can't edit my post, I'm guessing because I am pretty new and have a total of 2 posts now.

I work as a systems administrator during the day but there's no telling what I'm going to get into after-hours. From Geocaching, to clearning out storage lock boxes, to traveling (via car) out of state (my daughter is on a dance team so we're always going to some convention or competition), to just overall urban exploration this bag goes everywhere with me. If it's not on my person it's locked safely in the trunk of my car. It's not perfect and the items in it are a work-in-progress but so far I have needed and used almost every item in it. This isn't a bug-out bag or a get-home bag, this is simply an EDC bag full of stuff I use on a daily basis.



My Bag
Drago Gear Tracker (Green): http://www.dragogear...r-backpack.html

Front Pocket
The front pocket holds the items I need to get to quickly.

* Apple MacBook Pro charger
* Nebo Redline 250 lumens flashlight: http://www.nebotools...ails.php?id=164
-- I really like this light. The base is magnetic so you can stick it almost anywhere and the light has a zoom feature that lets you really flood a room if you want to.
* Headphones
* Hand Sanitizer
* Pens / Pencils
* Altoids tin
* CRKT N.E.C.K. knife: http://www.crkt.com/...-Drab-Cord-Wrap
* 33-round Glock 19 magazine

I was given the N.E.C.K. knife and it's in my bag just so I can test and play with it. So far I really like it. I wouldn't chose it over an ESEE Candiru or an Izula but it's certainly not a bad knife for light use.

Middle Pocket
As of right now, I only have two items in the middle pocket.
* Maxpedition Mini Pocket Organizer (OD Green): http://www.maxpediti...nizer-p1559.htm
* Apple iPad 4: http://www.apple.com/ipad/overview/

Back, Main Pocket
The back pocket is where I store most of my organizers, my gloves, and my laptop.
* Shemagh
-- Since this bag isn't specifically built for a laptop, I have the shemagh in the bottom to act as padding for the laptop.
* 13" Apple MacBook Pro: http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/
* Computer supplies organizer
* First Aid Kit
* USB keys organizer
* Carhartt beanie
* Mechanix gloves (Woodland camo): http://www.mechanix....land-camo-glove
* Bandanas

Bladder Pocket
Along with most backpacks, this one has a pocket for a bladder. I use this pocket to hold stuff I rarely use but really have no other place to put.
* Random ethernet and Cisco cables

Bottom Row
The bottom row of items in the main picture are what I carry on me.
* Galco Triton holster: http://www.usgalco.c...775&CatalogID=7
* Glock 19
* Keys with a knock-off version of the Munroe Mega Dangler

-- This wallet is alright. It serves its purpose but I need to find something a little more classy. Potentially something made of leather.

* VersaCarry (size medium): http://www.versacarry.com/
-- There are pros and cons to this holster. First, it was given to me so don't bash me for buying it. The _only_ time I use this is when I carry my Glock with my light attached. I use it when I know I'm going out at night or going someplace dark like the movies. Since only one side of the trigger guard is protected I _never_ carry in condition 0 with this holster.

Both the knock-off Mega Dangler and the Pickpocket have places for a 1/4" hex driver built in. The bit extendeder from Leatherman is nice because it's scored and can easily be used with your bare hands but these come in very handy if I need that extra bit of torque and I don't have my big Leatherman handy.




Computer Supplies Organizer
This is my electronics pouch.
* Random cables
* Clear 4G Internet router: http://www.clear.com
-- This is what I use in the car to get my laptop, iPad, and my kids iPods and DS's online
* Alfa wireless adapter (AWUS036H): http://www.amazon.co...k/dp/B002WCEWU8
-- This used to be the cat's pajamas in USB wireless adapters. I've been out of the game for a while so I'm sure something else has taken its place. I used to use this along with a 5dB magnetic antenna I would stick on the top of my car and just drive around looking for wireless signals. Did/Does anyone ever use WiGLE.net? Now I use it because at some of my work's buildings the wifi signal is weak and this can easily pick it up.



First Aid Kit
Small and simple FAK. This will cover scrapes and bruises and headaches and that's about it. There's a lot that could be added to this like a TQ but this will work for basic needs.



USB Organizer
I have USB keys for work-related purposes and for troubleshooting that one relative's computer during that seasonal get-together.

* Mini Altoids tin full of 1/4" and micro 4mm bits
* Big Sharpie
* Lighter
* Fingernal clippers
* Extra batteries for all of my various flashlights

Altoids Tin
I have this because everyone else has one. I have never used it. I designed it for a truely work-related purpose ... for those times when I want more sugar or creamer in my coffee or extra flavoring in my water. Actually, I have taken a few ibuprofens out so I guess it hasn't been a complete waste of space. I also have a few toothpics, Q-Tips, a straight pin, and a few other items in it.

My Altoids tin definitely needs to be revisited.





Skinth OG
This is a pretty nifty sheath. This is the OG model designed by Eric over at skinthsolutions.com. He has a pretty big following on Facebook and a few other forums. It seems that people take great pride in what all they can stuff in the various "skinths" Eric makes.

In mine I have:
* Leatherman Blast: http://www.leatherma...m/product/Blast
-- I removed the bulit-in Phillips driver and replaced it with the removal bit holder from a Wave
* Leatherman Bit Kit: http://www.leatherma...product/Bit_Kit
* Leatherman Bit Driver Extender: http://www.leatherma...Driver_Extender
* Another small flashlight I had lying around



Maxpedition Micro Wallet
I took a picture of my wallet to show where I'm currently keeping my Serepick Bogota Titan Entry Toolset. They won't be staying here, I just put them here the other day to see how well they fit. I can't even tell they're there. I broke the key to my front door and I have, on a few occasions, been given a ride home and needed in the house. Unfortunately, I didn't have these then. Most of the time I'm in my car with the garage opener and a key to the deadbolt on the garage door.

Wow, that Skinth is pretty damn cool. Never heard of those before. Probably going to have to get one of those for my MUT.

SwatDawg335, I don't know if I'm allowed to link to other forums but if you Google "Skinth Loadout Gallery" you'll find some gorgeous pictures of those things.
