BOB's for a family

[NorthernRaider]

Charles is right standardisation on auxilary gear is good like standard batteries among flashlights and radios, individual choice of EDC knife but perhaps all use the same type of camp knife. even the family dog can have its own BOB if you have a dog and dont forget a BOB does not have to be a Rucksack, I met an elderly couple a while back who were ardent life long hikers but Osteoporosis blighted the lady so she put her gear into a monowheel trailer that she pulled via a shoulder harness.
