It depends really on the needs of the indivdual. A BOB for someone on a remote homestead in the Cascades is by necessity going to be quite different from a BOB for an urban office worker in central LA. The possible contingencies are different and the problems likely to be encountered are different. A BOB is a smallish pack with enough of whatever a guy needs to 'bug out' and get to wherever he has decided safety will be. It may or may not need to contain wilderness survival gear. So, to answer the question, a full size internal or external frame backpack may be just the ticket for you, depends on what you forsee the problem being and how you plan to handle it.
My best advice to you is to keep it simple, keep it light in weight whenever possible, keep it unobtrusive, and keep it handy.
