I don't know of a single survivalist who has a B.O.B. who thinks they are going to go into the woods "to live."
Most people who have a B.O.B. have the philosophy of it being either a "get home bag," or a "get to safety bag," with the main idea being that they can get from Point A to Point B on foot or hitch-hiking without worrying about paying for, or seeking out, food or lodging. Natural disasters are an often-cited example: an earthquake might destroy your home and all the roads in your city, leaving you potentially stranded if you stay in place, but, with a B.O.B ready, you can beat the crowds, maybe even by car, as people make a mass exodus from your city. The idea is if you stay in place too long, you risk being a victim of paramilitary checkpoinds, martial law, and other potential forms of democide (death by government), as evidenced by post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans, which was essentially a Mad Max scenario, although the MSM doesn't want to tell you that.
Oh, and by the way, I agree that assault packs suck. If you're really in a post-Katrina type of scenario, the mayor has declared martial law, and the National Guard is going door to door confiscating guns, then that camo, MOLLE-covered backpack is going to single you out. These things just scream "guns!" See pic related.
