I would post pics of mine, too, but I am sure that compared to you big boys, mine would be just plain "sissy." Course, hubby carries the heavy load. :)

What happened to the other posts in the contest forum? I'd decided not to enter the contest due to what "I" think is unreasonable rule enforcement, but the topic seems to have died, and the posts in question have vanished. Is the violator still "banned" from the contest? (this is a very strange board).
Perhaps the initial entry was too much to compete against? Still, the lone poster should have a chance at the prize, as his entry is awesome!

Sorry Kids,
My equip is strictly classified and it is released only on a need to known basis. Strictly due to the fact that as a Patriot of this country, whose family has served in all conflicts since WWI to my son presently serving. Now
my kind are being eyed by Bloviating idiots like the majority of the current Administration. Sorry but hope you understand my PARANOIA!

Waitnc, I do understand and respect your decision. I thought long and hard before posting and came to the conclusion that it is just a remote possibility that I have NOT been flagged by now. I have been hanging out on survivalist sites since about 1999.

I have nothing in my BOB that is illegal, of course this depends on when/if they change the laws taking away our rights. :mad: Of course, I don't think I have anything classified in my BOB. :D

Great posts so far!
I haven't posted yet out of sheer embarrasment.:o
After seeing the first two entries, I have realized how ill prepared I really am.... Which is probably the real point to this contest. I've probably seen over 50 items that I had not thought of, but can see a huge value in a bad situation.

Lostinoz,

What are you using to vacuum your items? Is it a standard grocery store food saver or something more robust? I really need one of those!!!

Slowz1k, I purchased a Foodsaver back years ago and it was a great investment. I think it was approximately $150.00 with a couple of rolls of bags, I can't really remember. I use it for everything; Sealing meat purchased at the grocery store, bulk grains and pasta, etc. They may be cheaper now, I don't know. I can purchase the roll of bags at Wal-Mart now.

I also have the attachments in order to seal jars. I keep cocoa, rice, etc. in jars, not for any particular reason other than to keep mice out of it. :D

Here is a link to the one I have, apparently this model has been discontinued.

Ok, I am finished adding pics of items in my BOB. :D Go ahead and critique it. Oh, and I usually have packets of water, however I used them on a recent hiking trip and haven't replenished them yet.

You got it! That's exactly why we are running this contest to learn from each other and see where we are lacking, and find good ideas

Great posts so far!
