Bug Out Bag List: Essential Kit for 72 Hours of Survival
by Terrance Franklin
The Bug Out Bag, generally known as a GOOD bag (Get Out of Dodge) as well as a Personal Emergency Relocation Kit (PERK), is usually a fully outfitted 72-hour survival package. Your bag has to be light, comfortable and needs to be able to hold everything you should survive in the event of a serious event. Remember that you will be without food, water or electricity for a few days. It is therefore critical for you to prepare a meticulously considered Bug Out Bag list to ensure you don't find yourself transporting excess weight, or worse yet, forgetting a critical item for yourself or your family members!
Being prepared for any situation without overloading can be quite a complicated task, particularly for a beginner survivalist, so we've made a Bug Out Bag List with the most important things which you should include. These should equip you for a wide array of emergencies. Consider this list as a foundation on which to build your bug out bag and always consider the specific needs of your locale.
Water This may seem obvious, but it can be just about the most essential item for survival that people often ignore. You have to be thinking about consuming no less than 1 litre per day, so take a minimum of 3 litres within your pack. Also include a water filtration system if your emergency go longer than 72 hours.
Food You will require food that is filled with nutrition, light and simple to eat. Energy bars and dry backpack dinners ought to be enough to last 72 hours. Don't make it hard.
Clothing Think easy to wear, quick drying and suited to numerous difficult situations. Merino, while somewhat expensive, will probably be worth a purchase. It's a comfortable material that works well throughout cold and hot environments. Have a good water resistant coat which is breathable. Layering is preferable to taking single thicker items, mainly because it offers you more options in the event you experience a change in weather. Bandanas or caps should be included to shield you from direct sunlight.
First-aid If you require any critical prescription medicines make sure you have plenty of supply in the event of emergency. Consider the specific needs of the rest of your household also. In lieu of getting the popular 'all-in-one' first aid kit, make an effort to build your own custom kit that serves your special requirements.
Equipment Multi-functional is the word to be aware of when choosing tools to incorporate in your Bug Out Bag. Purchasing the proper high-quality item is essential; cheaper options will in most cases be substandard in performance and this is one thing you clearly need to avoid during times of a critical situation
Housing Select a lightweight tent that will shield you from the sun and rain. The bottom line is staying dry, so keep that in mind over coziness or space. Don't depend on the typical tent you use for holiday camping trips.
Light, heat and flame Contain two flashlights (usually one waterproof) with lots of batteries. You will also need a few ways of making a fire. Waterproof matches and/or lighters are a great start. Practice with these first so you are familiar with starting a fire.
This Bug Out Bag list should provide a good foundation for your own personal 72-hour survival kit. This will only serve as a start, however, so please make sure to consider your personal situation and particular needs.
