The Bug Out Bag (BOB) is not a new thing. A friend sent me this image because we talk about BOBs at work more often than normal people should.
There are a lot of good ideas in this vintage kit. There are a couple major items I may need to add to mine.
- An ax. Even a 3/4 size would actually be more useful than a shovel.
- The draw knife. This is a damn handy tool especially if your survival plans are longer than a few days.
--Add a Glock 9mm and four spare mags.

If you want to expand your Bushcrafting Skills, I recommend going to Dave Canterbury's Pathfinder School and take his Wilderness Skills class. Plus, check out his YouTube Channel. TONS of good info.
Yep, they HAVE been around for a long time!
Very Hipster- "I use vintage tools in my BOB... you have probably never heard of them..."
Five knives, an axe, cast iron skillet, wrought iron camp kit, several rolls of wire, a deplorably short roll of sisal, and canavas; that pack must weigh a ton.
The glass bottle needs to go; every knife and the ax needs a sheath: you don't want sharp things moving around in a backpack!
The hook-bladed knife under the drawknife is another handy item, useful for bowl-making (among other things).
