It was obvious that quite a bit of thought went into this book. While the book is not extremely long, it is well laid out and all the important aspects are covered. The detailed, linked table of contents went on for more than seven pages on my Kindle reader. This makes for easy access to the information when you want to reference it later. Here are the main chapters.Chapter 1: Meet BOB - the Bug-Out BagChapter 2: Choosing an Emergency Gear BagChapter 3: Water and HydrationChapter 4: Food and Food PreparationChapter 5: ClothingChapter 6: Shelter and ProtectionChapter 7: Making a FireChapter 8: First AidChapter 9: Hygiene and SanitationChapter 10: Important BOB ToolsChapter 11: A Light for the RoadChapter 12: CommunicatingChapter 13: Money and Documents Important DocumentsChapter 14: Surviving with PetsChapter 15: Self-defenseChapter 16: Extras for Your Optional BagChapter 17: Organizing and Maintaining Your BOBChapter 18: Obtaining the Knowledge to SurviveThe writing style was helpful and the author offered up lots of useful advice as well as options for those that might be in a different situation or might not want to follow his personal recommendation.This book is absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to take a quick and concise look at the "Bug Out Bag" to create a new one or to see if they need to make any changes to their current bag.If you want another book with some more specific advice on lightening up your BOB, I recommendUltralight Survival: Make a Small and Light Bug Out Bag That Could Save Your Life
