I've come across a problem many of you who have a B.O.B have maybe comed across. Before I continue I would like to clarify my habits.
I do not drink coffee, soda, store bought juice, energy drinks or color additive drinks. I drink milk with my cereal and a large glass of water with ice with every meal. I am addicted to water.
I drink a good 1.5 / 2gl a day of water.
With that said, one of the problems I’ve come across is- carrying water, it can add some weight to my bug out bag.
1gl of water = 8.3454 pounds
4x
= 1 gallon of water.
I currently have the ILBE pack
My goal is to carry atleast 1.5 gl of water on me at all times. I would like to remove the weight off my backpack by either getting a “BATTLE BELT” or a “Belt w/ Rig”
The only problem I can see with adding a battle belt is that it would interfere with the large padded belt that comes with the ILBE pack.
And with the Rig, I’m afraid the shoulder straps would interfere with the ILBE shoulder strps and the waist belt that comes with the ILBE.
The one thing I do not want is a tactical vest. My goal is to stay low profile.
You can live weeks without food. But water....that is different. Water can be scarse if you don't know were to look. So carrying water is very important to me. VERY!
Any suggestions? Ideas?
