Question. Those of you that keep a ready-made kit on hand. Do you cycle through the contents, or use them for things like camping, hiking, etc? (and then put them back in the BOB when you are done)
Or maybe do you have duplicates of certain items that you use for day-to-day purposes, reserving the kit in your BOB only for an emergency?
I can see the importance of having one bag, always ready to go. No having to worry about "did I replace that?" or "****, I used the flashlight last power outage and didn't replace the batteries" etc. However, it means that you need to have duplicates of a lot of stuff, no?
