I like the layer approach:
1 st layer- Pockets, stuff you ALWAYS carry.
2nd- Jackets, coveralls, jump suits etc. (mine are generally designed to do some type of work, hunting, fishing, etc
3rd- Fanny pack/vest, (do take this hunting, fishing, 4 wheeling, boating)
4th- Carry packs, in home/garage/retreat and vehicle.
5th- Vehicle it self.
6th- Home its self. (Most of your preps).
Our BOV is just a plain black "Everyman" 1999 Ford F-150 Crew cab, 4 X 4. No markings OR since I wrote this F-250 out-fitted the same way, pretty much.
Looks like average Joe’s on-pavement daily driver. BUT
Heavy duty springs and shocks, bigger mud/snow tires.
It's possible that this is over kill, but it fits pretty well.
Carries full compliment of "get out of "stuck" gear"....ax, hatchet, shovels, jacks (3), one “48“ farmer jack, tow straps, 30ft chain, come-a long, chainsaw, 2-1/2 gal stabilized gas or 19 volt electric chain saw....
Air compressor, fix a flat kits (plugs), road side kit w/light sticks, and road flares.
12 battery cables/booster battery, inverter, battery charger/booster/ extension cords/splitters
Fix-a-flat (cans) WD-40, starter fluid, "Heat", spare belt, fuses. (and Manual)
Pretty full set of hand tools.
Cold weather/hunting clothing/boots, w/ fully loaded pockets.
Sleeping bags/pad, dome tent, tarps, duck tape, several lengths/sizes rope/cordage
Spare glasses, thumb drive with documents, spare cash, spare meds.
Maps (remember those?)
