It's not even a hobby, I keep a bugout bag in my closet for if, you know, I ever need to leave, whether it be to GTFO because of a natural disaster or what have you. I don't spend hours meticulously researching things for DA BEST OF DA BEST, and I don't think the government is gonna come take my gunz or any of that bullshit. These threads help us compare what we have and give us ideas for things we might have overlooked, and if you're bugging out, you will be outdoors and you will need a way to get through it.
I don't want to ever have to bug out. You're fucked in the head from what the media has portrayed it as.
>omg he has BOB he must be one of them crazy preppers! It's about that split second when you realize you have to get out and go. It's preparation and acting like it isn't relevant to the outdoors is like saying fishing isn't /out/ related because it's done in a boat and it's just a hobby.
>>30863 It would be, if any of you were surviving in the wilderness.
But you're not. These bags are in your closets. The only thing that you have ever used them for is taking pictures that you post online, and argue over the contents of, masturbate about, then put back in the closet.
>>30858 >You must be the worst camper, ever. These are useless, shitty camping bags. And you've never, ever needed to "bug out." Well you're making quite a few judgments without having seen my bag, which is geared toward outdoor survival, which is the kind of camping I'm into. It does me pretty well when camping, so I wouldn't call it useless. And no, I have never needed to bug out. I didn't say I have needed to.
You just sound so angry about this, what with putting words in peoples' mouths and arguing without a point.

>>31180 >Shit happens Obviously not that faggot, but THIS is the biggest thing for me. Anyone who has been in the armed forces or knows someone who is, knows that being ready in a moments notice NO MATTER WHAT happens is key to survival. The point is that you have your things together and nothing to worry about.
People in this day and age of Iphones and cookie-cutter college, car, wife, house, kids, send them to college, retire, wash, rinse repeat lifestyle live in this fantasy land where nothing bad ever happens, no one hurts anyone, and everyone gets along just fine. No one ever has to work anywhere but behind a desk for anything, and everything is given to you on a silver platter. Well what is it? Its fake, its a fraud, its a total joke. "WWII is over! It was the war to end all wars! No major nation will ever have another military conflict!" Funny..... you know what they said about WW1 right? Just because it hasn't happened in a few decades, and we've been all honkey dorey here in our protective bubble, doesn't mean it'll always stay like that. Those who are ready for it, will be ready. Those who aren't, will pay for it.

>>31228 Dude, you keep refuting peoples individual examples like they are the only things that could ever happen.
You have obviously never been involved in a true emergency situation, as you would know that the amount of variables is purely uncontrollable and unpredictable, so you come prepared for as many possibilities as physically possible, not say "Oh well I'll be able to do something about it when it happens." The few extra minutes you save in the initial moments of some kind of disaster, could be the difference between life and death. The first few hours could be changed drastically from "We have to head back and get supplies" to "Alright, lets start making some distance and get the FUCK away from (Insert threat here)

>>31319 I don't get this then. How could you have been in a life threatening, self-dependence survival situation (I.E.- When shit hits the fan) and not see how helpful a bag full of supplies are?
You take things camping don't you? You prepare adequately for things that you believe will be out of your control? Do you only bring enough food for 3 days on a 3 day camping trip? or do you supply extra JUST INCASE something happens? Honestly, I just don't get why the synapses in your brain aren't firing and making the connection between having a bag full of emergency readiness supplies and not being a nut-case.
Do you have a first aid kit in your house?
Would you not call that an Emergency readiness kit? A bug out back is essentially just camping supplies that you keep IN CASE something somethings. I seriously don't get why you think the only time you'll ever need survival supplies is when you're camping...

Nothing worse than something that might not work when you need it most.
Likewise with anything electrical, have 2 of them if you have the space and it is almost certainly required for whatever it is you would be doing.
Or even more if you can. Portable handcranks are rather useful, have a bunch of them to use for all sorts of stuff, like connecting one handle up to a water wheel from a temporary dam.
Have some copper or aluminum wire too, very useful for making temporary stuff. (and have some high power LEDs so you can light stuff up, and general circuit stuff for connecting shit together as well as a cheat sheet)
Anyone take electronic stuff with them?

I don't have a BoB myself, but personally I'd try to shy away from MREs and that ilk in favor of canning, drying/ dehydrating, and vacuum sealing my own ready to eat foods wherever possible. Plenty of homemade things can have shelf lives of a few years when prepared correctly.

Gear is a big part of camping, and I know it will have a big place on this board, but just like some people don't want to see this turn into a "innawoods bug-out" board, (Which I have no objection too, I just don't actually see it happening as most of those kids will stay on /k/ anyways) I really hope not to see /out/ become a hundred gear-fag-elitist-purism kids who think you shouldn't ever wear jeans in the wild, all your gear needs to be from columbia or REI, and anything that didn't cost you 100 plus bucks isn't going to do you any good in the woods. I'm the kind of guy who is more of a "do it with what you got" kinda person, most of my gear is hand-me-down stuff or things I've either picked up at garage sales or as gifts. I don't buy pretty much anything (Except flint-fire-starters, those are kinda hard to come by) and my work boots

get a hotel room, change your clothes, be a decent human being before guilting them into taking your sorry ass in
and none of this is even relevant because you literally picked the one point you can't "understand" which is that having a few basic things is useful in case your house burns down. just go fuck yourself. you don't go out in the woods naked. follow that logic if you can since you're on /out/ and people have hiking bags ...for going into the woods (not camping at a friend's house)

The last thing I'd wanna do trekking through the woods is have something on hand that makes me stick out like Don King at a Klan rally when everybody is going apeshit and looting.
>>33314 A lot of their stuff has Gerber's logo on it, including that specific item. They proably got most of their supplies from a Walmart since they carry loads of Gerber and Coleman gear. It took me a minute of browsing Gerber's site but I think I found it:

>>30930 I am sure, there are many ex-residents of new orleans and a nice little hurricane that might have something to say about that.
or some people in tsunami regions....
...hey, not to mention those living near chemical plants...

>>30736 switch out the coleman magneseum for a swedish firesteel.. i've used the coleman crap before and it is horrible. would you stake your life on it? Cause thats what it might come down to. I would certainly stake my life on a swedish firesteel.

>>36915 genuine question, not even joking...but why do people love magnesium or firesteel?
is it because it's indestructible, you can dry it, or...what

He's right, they are my knives; sometimes anonymity is confusing. I just thought having a folder and a fixed blade sounded like a good idea. Don't bitch about a compass that weighs two beans; I can always ditch anything I have.

>>36954 I guess its because its theoretically always effective. Can't really be broken or get wet or run out of fuel. That being said I bought one about 10 years ago. I have since gone on countless dozens of hiking/camping trips. I used it once and only once just to see if I could. Every other time ever I have needed a fire, a bic lighter has always been quicker, easier, and more effective. Even in horrible, cold, wet, windy conditions. I have never had a bic lighter fail me. Though I suppose its good to have a firesteel as a backup to your backup matches.

>>37014 They're not practical to use, but you should keep lighter and one of those with your bob, because you will eventually run out of matches and butane.
My friend is a moron, and got bob because of 2012, he got like 50 euro magnesium stick but no tinder.
starting a fire with sparks without dry tinder is difficult, especially if what you're trying to burn is even slightly moist, no other way of setting a fire has this problem.
I keep something as plain as magnifying glass for backup when I run out of lighterfluids and matches and then I have firesteel with cloth for tinder.
I rarely use anything but my magnifying glass to light a fire when sun is visible.

>>37736 Only the high diameter magnifying glasses are capable of producing fire? Is this true?

>>38139 Don't know what the minimum diameter for starting fires, but mine is a pocket one, that's the size of my palm when folded.
I think the magnification is more important on how fast you can make fire with it, but I don't actually know much about it, other than how to use them.
