Revisiting my small BOB/GHB

[BeardyMan]

Nice little discrete fight stopped is a wilson tactical monkey fist. 3/4 inch steel ball bearing wrapped up in beautiful 550 paracord. Go for the head, or the joints (shoulder / clavicle / elbows / knees) then run.

I don't think a shotgun is going to be something anyone wants to lug around with them. And if it's WROL, then you should have cut that bad boy down straight away.

Walking poles? Very handy to have, not just for self defence, but you can use to prop up a bivi / tarp / shelter should you need it in the field.

My GHB is now a Hazard4 Plan B, so pretty slimline. I only have 30 miles to walk home should I be forced to take that route, so I don't carry much at all. I have a jetboil zip in there and some food & water, torches and light sticks, few knives (maybe a few too many), and spare footwear (if I'm not in boots), 5 lighters, FAK, energy bars, blister pack, 50 meters of dyneema (not sure why I've not replaced this with paracord yet), leatherman and a few other bits.
But, I'm sure I don't need all that for a 30 mile wander back home, especially in this spring / summer, so I'll be revisiting my pack and dumping the unnecessary items. I may even pop some pictures up in a new thread, as I've not seen a GHB / BOB picture thread for a while now.
