What do you keep in your "go bag"

[Gunner]

You did not specify caliber or gun type!!!
In all honesty I want to put one of these together

I never understood carrying all the unusual methods of starting a fire. What's wrong with a lighter wrapped in a Ziplock bag? Am I missing something?

As stated-lighters follow Murphy's Law.Bic style-can leak,don't work well in cold,lever can get pushed. Zippo's-fuel evaporates so you need to carry a fuel supply. I carry a fire kit-misch metal rod,striker,and cotton balls/petroleum jelly. Simple kit that works every time.

Because Murphy's Law rules, if you only have one way to start a fire, that way will fail. The little lighter will leak, or the flint mechanism will get bent from being sat on, or something. In general the primitive firestarting methods don't break, but it's nice to have a more modern way of doing it.


Sorta like suspenders and a belt!

Does anyone pack a small radio in their BOB? I keep a kaito compact multi-band radio in my BOB. It could be waterproofed with a condom I guess.

Okay
The booze to get ham boned
The condom to get depressed because I'm ll that's left
Cigs because its never to late to start
And one bullet like that had in the road
