It's been a while since I've posted any pictures and since I really enjoy seeing a lot of pictures of gear and setups I think it's only fair that I put some out there myself every once in a while.
This bag is in the back of my truck all the time. I tried to take pictures of the bag and the show where the different items are stored in the bag. I'm up for any suggestions for improvement. The bag itself is a Camelbak BFM and it's been a great bag.
This is how the bag sets and looks.
Different angle.
Opening up the bag to access anything.
Water purification tabs, Solar & hand crank radio, matches, toilet paper & gorilla tape.
Altoid tin for starting fire (matches, lighter, tinder), Altoid tin for fishing (line, hooks, flies), SAS handboook, fire piston, light stick, industrial trash bag, camelbak waterproof bag cover (foliage on one side, bright orange on other).
MRE's, food bars, 1qt canteen with stainless cup and stove piece, marlin papoose in the blue bag.
Side pocket.
Medical kit inside of side pocket. Bandades, alcohol wipes, iodine wipes, bandades, triple antiobiotic, suture kit, ammonia tabs, safety pins, GI bandages, small bar of soap, toilet paper, medical tape, stainless tools, and a pop up flare.
Outside of bag focusing on lower pouch that contains the rain gear.
Cabelas rain gear. This rain gear fills that bottom pouch all by itself and it's come in handy more times than I can remember.
Outside pouch contains a streamlight headlamp, a couple cheapo lightweight led flashlights, GI compass, GI E-tool, lighter, fire steel, camo rain poncho, led keychain light attached in the bag, and of course more toilet paper.
Small pouch on the outside.
Pouch contains a slingshot and a schrade survival knife. The handle is stocked full of fishing line, hooks, & flies. The pouch has a fire steel, tinder, a lighter, and a keychain led flashlight.
This is my survival blanket with a poncho liner secured to it. I keep it rolled up and attached to the side of the bag.
Anyway that's basically it, and the way it's sitting now. It's definately different for me to see it in the form of pictures and compartments. It really made me wonder why I have a slingshot and also why I had so many lighters, flashlights, & toilet paper rolls, but I guess if I'm going to overdue it somewhere in the bag that's not a bad place to do it.
Normally in the fall/winter I keep a poly pro top rolled up on the opposite side of the blanket poncho liner. I also realized that I don't have a change of socks or two and that's a pretty big fail as well. I wear hiking boots and jeans every day to work so I'm good there.
Here's some more pictures of the papoose:
I'm not a big duracoat guy, but I had a guy do my survival knife listed above so I could cheaply experiment with it. I decided to have the papoose done also just because it's a cheap rifle to try it on and I don't like the idea of my truck gun stickout out like a sore thumb being all black and shiney stainless steel. I also just wanted to give the stuff a shot and see how well it holds up. I really haven't had the chance to test either the knife or rifle since I got them coated.
I still want to get more factory mags, but right now I've got (2) 10rd mags, and (1) 7rd mag. I'm not going to durcoat any more mags than the two that already are. I keep the mags loaded and an additional 100rds of 22lr in the plastic case.
