Most of the suggestions I’m about to make are really more so food for thought. If you add all of them, you add weight. But you can do it with pretty minimal weight add if you get the right stuff. My bag is exactly 30lbs and I have WAY more than what I’m about to suggest. Also, I’m in an urban environment, so my bag is focused on that.

Get rid of the seatbelt cutter. You already have a knife.

What are the carabiners for? No rope, no paracord... speaking of which, get some paracord. Load bearing, lots of uses (utility, first aid, shelter prep...), light...

Get a crowbar. Medium size one ideal, but a small one would be fine too. Serves as a weapon and a tool.

A small firearm at minimum would be ideal, but if that’s not your thing, whatever.

At least one bottle of water. People bash that for weight, but if you’re buggin out, you’re moving. You’ll want/need it. Personally, I bought a sturdy bottle with a carbon filter on it, loaded with clean water, but can use the filter for whatever other sources I find.

On that note, I live in a dense city and have a silcock key to access water from other buildings. If you’re in a suburb or rural area, this won’t matter to you (but honestly it’s such a negligible weight add that it is worth it).

I also have reasonable amount of backup cash, an encrypted USB drive of all my most important documents (birth certificate, insurance, deeds, identification, account statements, etc). all in a faraday bag inside a dry bag (with some other electronics). This makes your BOB double as an “oh shit, my house is on fire starting with the place where I store that stuff at home” bag.

Speaking of electronics. I have (2) 30 mile range hand radios.

Speaking of documents, I have a few of my expired IDs because something is better hand nothing (and you’ll probably have your regular ID on you anyway).

Also, don’t forget creature comforts. In an emergency, or once you’ve made it to safety, this is extremely important for personal morale. So I have a travel toothbrush and toothpaste (the small collapsible type), a packet of “wet ones” sanitary wipes (or something similar).

Personally, I opted for a trauma kit that had a bit more than your first aid (stuff that handles gunshot and puncture wounds), and added some over the counter meds. This is the one I went with. I also loaded my back with Amoxicillin, which is a pretty basic antibiotic. Be sure you know what to use it for. It’s one of the few you can get without prescription because sometimes fish get sick and you don’t have time to go to the doctor, and in an apocalyptic event, ya gotta take care of Nemo (I shit you not, this is the exact same stuff they give humans... the pills are printed with the identifier that you can check for yourself). EDIT: somthat last one is a broken link. Guess amazon yanked it. But it is called “AmoxFin” and it is amoxicillin for fish. You can probably find it from other places.

I also got this, which serves several great purposes in one and reduces weight, but to save you the click, it’s a handcrank powered flashlight with USB charging port (cable to you device not included), waterproof, window breaker, and that seat cutter I told you to get rid of because you already have a knife...

A multi tool wouldn’t hurt. I also have a lockpick kit, but you’ll have to teach yourself to use it.

Hope that all helps. I could probably go on.

EDIT: broken links.
