BOB's for a family

[CharlesHarris]

NR has it pegged. Each person carries their necessary clothing, personal hygiene, meds, etc.

Everyone should have their own flashlight, it would be good if everyone used the same type of batteries. Childrens small personal light and whistle should be worn around the neck to prevent loss.

Each family member has a "job" which is appropriate for their age, skills and abilities and carries the kit associated with their assigned task.

Each person's kit supplements and builds upon those of others, so the family can function more effectively together.
