Call 'em what ya want....I love building them, figuring out what I need and what I don't need. I'm fooling with them all the time.
I have them for my vehicles. For my back. Finally talked GF into putting one in her Tahoe...
The ones for the vehicles are usually a bit more stocked. More water, more dried food. more ammo.
As with all my prepping items, I consider them insurance. Like I always like to say...
I just don't want to get caught flat-footed....
How about you? Do you BOB?

love bobs, back, car, boat, hunting, camping and fishing, you name it i have a bob suitable, it is a maxpedition camelback main pack with atachable day pack, the main pack contains the standard stuff needed in pretty much any situation and the day pack has the extras for the activity i will be partaking in, they are pre loaded so i just zip the right on on and away i go.
with the car bob i have extra stuff i carry in the car at all times but of all the things i carry in said car bob the thing that has had the most use is the jumper pack for jump starting vehicles, i have had to use it once myself (stupid mistake lol) but i have helped probably 12 or so others with it so far, plus i have recharged a few phones for people (it has 2 usb charging outlets) and pumped up a rather flat tyre with it to with the inbuilt compressor, all in all a very useful bit of kit to carry, and it charges from a solar trickle charger mounted in the car so it is allways fully powered

Yes to BOB. In my vehicle GHB. Heres a good question. How many that have BOB / GHB hike with them on? I hike a minimum of 5K twice a year summer heat 80-90 degrees and mid winter -5 - 30 degrees. This allows me to know how temps will effect the same wieght in my BOB also lets me know if I'm in shape.

GHB in the vehicles, BOB at the house. Back-up BOB in the garage.

Pretty much only a GHB. I have no plans of "bugging out," but the GHB contains enough so I could BO if it should become absolutely necessary. It weighs in at twenty pounds fully loaded. I do carry more stuff in the vehicle, and these things could supplement what is in the bag. I change it up a bit summer to winter, but the bag is minimalist for ease of transport. I don't travel far from home usually so my biggest concern is getting lost/breaking a leg (or something to that effect), while out in the woods. In an EMP or some such event the chances of me being more than a two day walk from home are extremely slight. When I do travel that far, I make sure to have plenty of gear in the rig.

If it's a crime to BOB then I'm definitely guilty as charged.

Missasip we could get together and play the BOB game. I do like you, empty, repack, take out something and replace with something similar. Buy a new item and replace the older one in the bag. It goes on and on and of course always trying it on and walking around a bit to get the feel of carrying it around.

I find that I am always wondering if I packed too much. My son is so little right now that if shtf I am planning on having to run (and I mean RUN) with him and my BOB. I've tried to make mine as light as possible, with food and water and a get home bag stashed in my car as a back up.
