OK first of all i know i havent been on in awhile but now i am and getting on and need some help with something, my bug out bag, a major factor for most doomsday preppers. Above i have the three bags i use most, the one on the far left is kinda small but has two big compartments with dividers so its more organized and i like that but it doesnt hold much at all. The one in the middle is the one i have the most experience with, unlike the first it only has one compartment and no dividers but its bigger and has much more molle on it which i like, this isnt the best picture and i know that but on the left side of it is an emt pouch and on the right is an e-tool. Now the last one, the "behemoth" is huge i got it from one of my military buddies. I know it's big and looks heavy but it has a frame and waist pad so packed full i dont feel all the weight so i can travel awhile with it no problem but i go through wooded areas alot and that big thing makes it difficult to move sometimes. So opinions? Also some ideas on what to put it in, i packed mine more like a soldier and not like a bug out bag know what i mean? Thanks guys.

id say the big one, if you can carry it comfortably and not expend too much energy. The extra space that you would get might allow for some more preparations, and what you carry on your back will be your survival. I personally have a 3 day assault pack because i just didnt want to drop the $$ for the alice packs. Since you have three, why not make each of them into BOB as you get the $$ to do so?
 
I have the monster sized one a s well...... with almost the identical items as Maverick, give or take a hand ful of different items. On a side note, I have the Esbit combo solid fuel/ alcohol stove kit.

Nice, maybe a transistor radio that also gets weather.
 
wife bought me a Kaito Voyager KA600 and Potassium Iodate last week thats going to be added when it arrives :)
I had a ambient am/fm/weather dyno radios but through it out last year (garbage) the kaito had the best reviews figured i'll give it a try
