I have no pics, but I'm with tuocs on trying to be less than overt with pack choices.

I picked up my "get home bag" (a nice North Face backpack, similar to what mercop has (though no molle-style webbing) for $1.59 a pound at the goodwill outlet, and my "BOB" is a big internal-frame pack I picked up for $10 at a garage sale a few years ago.

In looking through this thread, I have noticed that there really isn't any mention of clothing being in packs. Is this because you are planning to be wearing what you'll need, or do you segregate clothing from survival gear?

I tend to think of proper clothing as essential to survival, especially in winter, because you can starve in a week, die of thirst in a day or two, but it can take only a couple of hours to freeze to death, especially if you find yourself in a situation where you are without shelter and have to sit tight due to whatever risk.

I keep ski bibs, an extra coat, and other layers in a tub in the truck, but I also pack some layers in the get home bag, just in case I have to abandon the truck and don't have the luxury of time to don or the ability to grab the really warm stuff.
