"Should the need arise being prepared is better than the needless suffering of the choice not too"
In this past Front porch Friday we introduced the go bag series and some of the variations of bags to be able to handle various disasters should they arise. In this blog I will be breaking down the first bottle I showed and some of the detailed components as well as some of the functions.
This bottled was put together for the need if for some reason I had to leave my vehicle or go-bag behind I would be able to get home and carry a minimum amount of gear, this is helpful should you find yourself in a civil disrest situation and or other reason I don't want to stand out.

| The battle bottle with black cover on it |
Let me introduce you once again to the Battle Bottle from Iron Infidel it is a 2 liter stainless steel bottle that comes with a neat camo carrier or if your savvy like me you buy the 2 cover version to switch up. Pictured above is it in the black camo pattern. the bottle is perfect if the event only lasts a few hours, way too little to use your 72 hour bag. The bottle above filled with the water and gear weighs about 10 pounds, fits in between the seats of your car and provides you with a few hours of operating window without breaking out your 72 hour go bag. Let's unload our bottle and see what has worked well for me.

For the most part I have everything I need should any emergency arise or if I decide I don't want to drive I have a quick solution that I can just throw into a car and go without tasking the driver with a bulky bag or taking up precious room in their car. Almost all of this stuff can be found on amazon but I have included a link to the battle bottle. How you put it together is for you to decide, I just wanted to show you what has worked well for me. If you have any questions just write in the comments below and I will cover them in another blog post.
