For those that like to read SHTF fiction I recommend "GOING HOME" by A. American.
It is an enjoyable read as well as thought provoking.
The author presents some good ideas about what kind of gear might work out in a "Get Home" scenario.
It is book one of a series but is basically a stand-alone narrative about a man having to trek 250 miles to get home after a massive EMP strike.
There is a lengthy excerpt at this link:

I love that series. that’ll be a good reference for the BOB topic.
Either of you want to write something up for it?
