Batteries are short term light ,there heavy and take up space.

Good job!

You probably have an ALICE pack. They are an excellent choice. Here is the manual, you might find it handy.
ALICE pack

However, I wonder how you will carry a .22 pistol with 1000 rounds, a shotgun with ammo, a .308 rifle with ammo, and a crossbow and your pack? The entire point of having a BOB is mute without mobility.
BOB ORACLE

The best tips I can give is to buy military surplus everything. All civilian stuff is crap. And #2 is wear wool.

Also, take a look at this thread
BOB thread

yes, i have a medium alice pack, got it at a local surplus shop for 15$.
the .22 ammo takes up very little space, im taking minimal shotgun and .308 ammo. not 100% on the CB. the rifle and SG will be tricky but i think i can manage.
