BOV Bottle

[linkmissing]

For BOV you can fill a plastic 2-liter coke bottle with: cup of rice, cup of beans, cup of dehydrated veg, baggies with: AA batteries, pen light, meds, hard candy, cash, spices, suture kit, wrap the bottle with cord, bungee, gauze, use the empty bottle is a vessel, or fill with hot water for a warmer/heater, on and on... you get my drift. Actual bottle weighs nothing, waterproof, lots of stuff in it, its great. Give one to each family member to keep in their cars.

That is a good idea. I have found that peanut butter jars are better because they have wide mouths (easier to put stuff in and take stuff out). Gatoraide bottles are also good.

I see being able to stuff all this into the bottle, but would you have to cut it open to get the stuff out, so it would basically be a one time use kit right.

Nope...Items are small grab the baggy edge and pull, does take some manipulating but it is meant to use only in emerg. It floats too. Altho a wide mouth would be grt, I like the lightweight seethru bottle and 2 liter is good size. If I could find a wide mouth, lightwt, 2liter that would be even better. Any suggs.

My peanut butter jar is wide mouth, light weight, and see through. But it is only a liter. If you go to the grocery store, I bet you can find a jar that fits your needs perfectly.

let''s have a contest and see who can develop the best bottle...send a pic and descrip.

I have always leaned to a metal coffee can for this purpose. Put stuff in and seal the lid with duct tape. Works to heat water/melt snow. You can put a candle inside and huddle over it with a blanket to keep somewhat warm. You can use it to make a hobo stove. The plastic coffee cans are good for storage also, but you can't make some items from them when needed.

Kroger coffee cans are still metal. I like them. I also like the peanut butter jars that FM mentioned.

[welderguy]

I dont remember the brand but I bought some pretzels that cam in a clear jug wide mouth and had a handle. would like to find some of them again.

[Rick]

Oh, yeah. I think my wife bought some of those at Costco. Been a while, though.

[Rick]

How about this? The price is right.

[welderguy]

yeah I think it may have been costco or sams club, I want to say there were two of them to a package.

I'm a fan of the plastic square coffee cans. They have handles that allow lashing them down.
Old Navy habit, securing for rough seas.
It's helpful the way I drive.

I don't really like the idea of a bottle shaped kit, doesn't pack well, doesn't carry well, and in the case of a soda bottle, would be a real PITA to get what you wanted out when you needed it.

I more of a carry bag guy, using gal size zip locks to hold stuff, I don't want wet.
The zip locks can also be used as water containers and still have the bag.

If I wanted to bury a JIC stash, I would consider a bottle, but thats about it.

A tough clear wide mouth bottle would be gatoraid in the quart size.

How about this? The price is right.

I bought 3 that are very similar to them at the last gun show I went to.

Great, great, great ideas!!! I've been looking for a waterproof box for things that need to be kept dry...and honestly I'm just not going to drop 10-15.00 on a itty little box that says it's waterproof.
Great idea with just using what you have! I'm thinkin' I'm going to be rifling through my recycling this weekend! Thanks everyone!

Just thought of something...I think I have an old tube that's about 2' long and about as wide as a 2lt bottle of soda...but it's got a wide mouth and a screw on top. I think it was the container that was used to hold rip-ties (is that what they are called?) Man, I THOUGHT that thing would come in handy. Little did I know just HOW! Cooool!
