I bought a bag several years ago (one from Wally World) with the intent of a BOB if ever needed.
Loaded that bad boy up with "essential" items, picked it up to try it on and realized that it weighed around 50 lbs.!
I decided then that a few items, along with food and water, would be all I needed if I ever decided I had to bug out.

I would usually plan what I would need to carry, mostly would be survival essential and do not forget you important documents. Pool all these items together, then you will know how big a bag you will need to get. Then look for the most comfortable and the type you are willing to carry, which will fit all these items.,..walla.....you now have a BOB.

I would say it depends on your skills. Someone like me probably do not need so much equipment since I have a lot of experience with the climate that I live in and how to survive. But I would have something in the size of a school sack, this would be my bug out bag. And then have more equipment hidden that I can come back to.

I agree with killersuraskill on the part about skill set. Back when I first made my bag I new very little and had to carry tons of extra weight in stuff I had to have because of lack of skill. Now four years later, my bag dropped from 50 to 20 pounds and most of the weight comes from my huge sleeping bag.
