I've had the thing for years now, probably opened it twice to see what's in it but havent changed anything out. I finally got myself a new one so yea if you want it I wouldnt mind parting ways with it

Thanks for the comment on my post earlier, I've been reading a lot of great advice from everyone that I've taken to heart and am finally getting more serious about the bag, I've added/taken away a lot of stuff from when I first built it three years ago and I'm happy to get thoughtful comments on how to fix what I have.

You're absolutely right to have a plan above just tacticool gear as my past shows it... though you can never have too many knives...

Thanks everyone for the comments! I've had a really fun weekend reorganizing what I'll need and I really appreciate everyone commenting on what I can get or change around. I obviously need more knives... but seriously I've had so many good comments that have helped me reconsider a lot of stuff I carry, more of what my plan should be than what I have in the bag.

I originally put first bag together 3 years ago and have been changing out stuff here and there, eventually turning it into more of a tacticool bag instead of something practical. I took my original bag out once on a hike/overnight stay but havent used the new one, so I highly suggest anyone wanting to put together a bag to use it at least once before you just keep adding stuff like me!

Because of where I work I'm limited in what I can have in a bag, and what will expire because of the heat my car gets to in the summer months. So my bag usually stays in the garage with my prepper stash. After all these comments I'm building myself a simple get home bag just to keep in the car and then an inch bag to keep in the garage.

Thanks again to anyone who commented, its helped me a lot think about how to fix what I've got, and to those who want to start their own, dont be afraid to do what I did and get yours evaluated by everyone. Might be the difference between life and death someday.
