We’ve worked, camped, and played in hurricane ravaged areas for the last 33 years and learned real fast that the main Bug Out Bag isn’t as important as how you pack it. Everything in our B-O-B’s is sealed in either foodsaver vacuum bags and/or Ziploc Freezer bags. Multiple small bags are then sealed and packed in a larger bag – wet equipment is no good anytime. Everything gets labeled with a black Sharpie marker regardless if I know what’s in the bags (others may not know what the stuff is). Our electronics (phone, Ham Handie-talkie, CCrane Skywave SSB, IR Night scope, batteries, etc.) meds, and ammo are sealed in bags and then put inside small rigid water-proof cases (they will float if dropped in a stream, lake, or other body of water). It may take a little more time and space when packing up to move after using your equipment, but at least your equipment will be safer and will be there when you need it most.

I would like to find a “gym bag” with dedicated Zaza paddled space for an AR pistol.

What would be cool & handy is a backpack that had MOLLE attachment points on the inside, but was entirely reversible. Once out of the city, detach the straps, invert the pack so the pouches hang on the outside, reattach straps to exposed attach points, and you will have doubled your carrying capacity.

All I’m going to have in there is camping gear. Poncho, poncho liner, ferro rod. container for water. My lucky boxers and jock strap. Old socks that need to be washed.
