Halve the weight?

This is my ultra-light BOB

http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/quasar-30-p178585

It's shockingly small, but I'll bet money there are very few people that can shift as far or as fast with their BOB's as I can with mine.

I know I'm a pretty big guy, so I can easily carry a bigger bag. But I'm happy to have this one and can shift really well with it.

The main contents of my bag are just those things that provide for life. Things like, shelter, warmth, water capabilities, sleeping capabilities, food and food finding, first aid, energy and recovery, fire capabilities, light (torches etc) and building/protection (knives), as well as rescue/navigation capabilities (whistle, compass, map, etc), and various sanitary items like TP and soap.

The things I'm going to be adding are, a mini stove with tiny gas cylinder (2-3 meals use), sun glasses, and I'll probably add a small undercarry bag that clips on, where I'll put my sleeping mat, to free up more internal space. But I'll probably do a better breakdown of my U-L BOB system.


I also have a CamalBak Mule as my GHB.

When bugging out, I'll probably have both bags. But even with that, I'm still able to move at a good rate for a pretty decent amount of time. The main thing about the Mule, is the water storage. If need be, I'd drop that and just go. Wouldn't have a problem. I wouldn't even come back for it. I consider it to be a bonus bag, when I have my BOB. If I bug out with my BOB and GHB, then it allows me more time to sort out water, as well as providing a couple more space blankets, another emergency shelter, and that kind of thing. But really, if I lost it....no problem. The BOB has everything I need for about a week.

Or alternatively we can pretend I never said that.......I've not checked how to close it properly, and now it takes up 50% less space!!! I don't feel like a total c**k!!!

HAHA.
