BOB Question

[Lazarus]

IF your going to get one, IMHO< I think a non-military looking one is best for a BOB. If your already at your BO Location then camo is great but I think just plain black is a wise move. Mine on the outside looks like a camping bag. Less attention, less 'tactical'. is probably less interesting to an observer.

I believe that if SHTF and it's really bad out it doesn't matter if your bag has hello kitty on it, if someone sees it they will try to take it. That's when a couple JHPs will come in handy.

Thats it, Nalgene. I didn't know what they were called. Right. How do you keep the water in there fresh? Change it out ever couple of days or do those bottles keep the water for a while?

If you use a store bought sealed water container, it should last a very long time. The site below says a year, but other sites say it should be good indefinitely.

Nalgene bottled water can still last a long time also. The site below says you can treat it and it'll be good for 6 months.

Old water may taste a little funny, but as long as everything starts out clean it takes a long time for it to become unsafe.
