Position in the Group

Shouldn't the contents of a BOB match what is necessary to the groups survival? Now, I'm just assuming that everyone is going to be with a group, but it seems that the person who is carrying that medical supplies and field guides to edible plants doesn't need to carry the group's retrieval kit. Since most of us are also in an urban environment, it is possible to get the supplies needed on the run. Personally, I'm probably going to be one of the retrieval team, so here's my BOB. (Note: I am not an expert on guns, so please be kind if you criticize my choices.)

Retrieval Tools:
14" Wrecking Bar
6 lb Maul
4 lb Sledge Hammer
MultiTool
LED Flashlight (Red Cloth to protect Night Vision)
4 Replacement Batteries
30 ft Nylon Rope/ Tow Strap
Machete (Also a Defensive Weapon)
Personal First-Aid Kit
3 Flares (Can be used as fire-starters)
Full Face Gas Mask
2 Books—The Zombie Survival Guide and
Elk Skin Gloves
Notepad (includes pen) (Waterproof!)
Space Blanket
Walkie-Talkie

Defensive Weapons:
12-gauge Remington 1100 Shotgun w/ 15 extra rounds
Jericho Semi-Auto Pistol w/ 2 Boxes of Rounds
Combat Knife
Trench Spike

Firstly, a BOB is to escape the skin jobs, implying (though not nessesarily dictating) that you're in fact alone.
Second, what do you do if your "medic" gets whacked? Or your retriever? Waht if your gunner gets turned?
