What book do you have in your BOB? - The Ragman - 23 May 2013

I know it's not really a Prepping question, but as an Avid reader I have 3 books in my BOB and considering it may be my only reading material for a few days or more it took some consideration to pick them.

I have

(1) A Christmas Carol By Charles Dickens (my favourite book)

(2) Dhammapada translated by K Sri Dhammananda pocket edition (which has yet to fit into any pocket i've ever had...LOL).

and Finally (3) A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson....it just seemed appropriate and is a great book.

what do you carry if any?

Bible
Book of Common Prayer
SAS Survival Handbook

and for fiction something with Kurt Wallander
cos I love Nordic Noir and can be quite a moody bugger

I still have an early pocket edition of the SAS handbook, another pocket book that never fit any known pocket...LOL

I genuinely carry 3 books in my BOB.

1. Foraging.
2. Bushcraft (Ray Mears)
3. How to build a log cabin.

They're probably the heaviest items in my BOB.

I think I'll add a copy of my liitle survival guide so I can remember wot I rote Smile
and a paper copy of the forum IGNORE list so I can remember who to ignore after TSHTF Smile

Getting older and my memory is failing but I can still remember who owes me a pint Smile

I have thousands, literally thousands. On my kindle.

Actually, that's a lie. I don't have a BOB.
