So what sort of things do you carry in your "Bug out Bag"? I'd like to see what kinds gear you carry and what kind of packs you use. Pics would be great as well. I actually hate using the term "bug out bag", it seems like something from a TV show, but it seems like it is the most understood and easy way of describing an emergency gear bag.. :foot:

What knives/tools do you carry in your "Bug out Bag".

I don't have a bug out bag, but my EDC bag has some emergency items intended to set me up for situations like vehicle breakdowns in various weather ranges typical of the PNW. When I was in the selection process, I spent time considering my bubble. That is, the areas within which I live, work, and travel. My bubble is basically the Portland, OR metro area, from Mollala to Vancouver, WA. Within that range, shelter and materials are readily available. With that in mind, I no longer have a knife in my bag. I carry a folder and a Wenger Esquire on body and a Leatherman Juice S2 in my bag.
I also consider lights to be tools, and I keep 2 on body and 2 in bag.

Leatherman Wave and Esee 5 in an Alice pack. Back in 2012 I bought the ZT 0560 with the purpose of being my "apocalypse knife" lol. It has some competition now from CRK and Spyderco.

LOL. I bought a Benchmade 162 as my "apocalypse knife" and it has not made it into my bag. I also have a Glock knife, a Vic Soldier and a Wave multi tool all waiting for me to place them in my bag.

No BOB, but I do have a Maxpedition Falcon II in the truck with various useful items. Among those items are an original Leatherman, first run Gerber Gator, and Swamp Rat Ratmandu.

strapped to the MOLLE web on my CamelBak HAWG, is an RC-3. Inside is a Cold Steel Pocket Bushman. One of the zipper compartments has a Leatherman and a Swiss Army One Hand Trekker.

My wife and I each have a "BOB" that contains a King Cutlery (Ontario import line) "Black TAC" folder and a Guidesman multi-tool. Definitely nothing fancy as knives go, but sturdy, sharp and not something I'll feel is a waste of money tucked away in a backpack (hopefully) unlikely to be used.

We live in earthquake country. I have an emergency bag setup for both my car and my wife's car.
I used surplus USMC IBLE Assault packs for the bags. I have a Leatherman Charge TTi in each bag, Full first aid kits, food, water, canteen with steel cup, Glock shovel, 100yds paracord, water purifier tablets, UST Ultimate survival kit in an AlokSak, compass, a roll of duck tape, and a Space all weather blanket. In a second basic bag, a change of clothes, hiking boots, and my rain poncho. Now for the fun hardware.

So you keep all that Bussekin in a bug out vehicle, in your car?
What kind of car do you drive? What color is it, and where do you work

And I have to ask if your wife has the same weapons in her GHB in her car? If so, she must be one of the most well armed women with edged weapons in the state
