securing bail out bag???

[booey50]

I am starting to become a prepper...I was wondering about a bail out bag how you guys keep it secured? I mean if you were in an accident or speeding away from someone chasing you, how do you secure it to not fly around?

Another topic of keeping your stuff secure in your bail out bag, the weapon and ammo you keep in there, how do you keep that secure while you are at work or run in the store? Do you guys keep your BOB in the car at night or bring it in with you?

Thanks for all the suggestions ahead of time...

Bail out bag means a lot of things to a lot of people. Some folks (me), it means the ready bag to survive for a while. It is the spare tire that lives in a car or a office.

Some folks, it means the EDC bag or man-purse. Stuff you use all day, every day.

Bail out bag secured in the back and, yeah, it lives in the car. EDC bag (or briefcase bag for work) is either wedged behind the passenger seat in the floor or on the passenger seat with the carry strap over he headrest.

I don't leave a firearm in the car not secured by a lock of some kind. EDC bag, if I'm carrying in its holster, would go in with me.

Do you guys keep your BOB in the car at night or bring it in with you?

Yes... in a garage. EDC bag (or briefcase/computer bag on work days) comes in. BOB secured in back.

I agree, no wepon unsecured.

My EDC bag is usually sitting in the passenger seat of my work truck with a strap over the head rest or in the back strapped in. In my personal truck it goes on the floor board behind my seat. The seat holds it in place. In the car it goes in the trunk.

Anyone who has ever flipped a vehicle knows where stuff can go, fly around, get throuwn out, hit you, etc..

Secure everything...

40 pounds at 65 MPH is about 2,600 pounds of force moving against the stopping force..

I don't keep my BOB in the car anymore. I had one get stolen from my car in September. The scum bag broke the window of my car to get it. It had a little bit of ammo, but no guns. I treat my BOB like a weapon now- never unattended or unsecured.

Side note: Cheaper Than Dirt sells a great line of Tacticool bags called Drago at a good price.

I have mine S-clipped to the bracing points in the back of my Jeep... Easy to secure and easy to remove if needed

I keep the BOB in the house with the rest of the SHTF supply's. My place is the gathering point for the family and rest of the group if something comes down. We have a second location if the first is inaccessible.
My job takes me 2 or 3 hours out sometimes and I want the bag there for the wife and kids if they need it to roll out.
