Show off your BOB's. Post up pictures and list the contents so we can get ideas for our own.
Here's mine:
My BoB is this ModGear pack, purchased from CheaperThanDirt.com: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MOLLE124-1.html I purposely chose an inexpensive bag because it will spend the bulk of its life sitting in my closet. I don't expect to have to carry this very far on my back, but it's reasonably comfortable if I have to do so.
It is also equipped with this hydration system carrier: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MOLLE454-1.html
You can see from the second picture that I am carrying a Gerber LMF II as my fixed blade knife: http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-22-01629-B ... B000E3QUB6
If you are unfamiliar with the LMF, I highly recommend that you familiarize yourself. It is an excellent multi-purpose fixed blade knife.
Here's a quick peek inside the pockets of my bag.
