The​ ​Best​ ​Bug​ ​Out​ ​Bag​ ​List​ ​–​ ​What​ ​You Need​ ​and​ ​Why​ ​You​ ​Need​ ​It!

The​ ​Best​ ​Bug​ ​Out​ ​Bag​ ​List It​ ​seems​ ​like​ ​putting​ ​together​ ​the​ ​best​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​(or​ ​B.O.B.)​ ​checklist​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​those​ ​things that​ ​every​ ​preparedness​ ​website​ ​has​ ​to​ ​do.​ ​The​ ​thing​ ​that​ ​other​ ​sites​ ​often​ ​ignore​ ​is​ ​the​ ​fact​ ​that everyone​ ​has​ ​different​ ​needs​ ​and​ ​lives​ ​in​ ​different​ ​environments.​ ​This​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​is​ ​for​ ​you and​ ​your​ ​family! This​ ​article​ ​is​ ​going​ ​to​ ​cover​ ​everything​ ​that​ ​we​ ​at​ ​Ready​ ​Lifestyle​ ​believe​ ​are​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag essentials.​ ​Then​ ​we’re​ ​going​ ​to​ ​give​ ​you​ ​a​ ​range​ ​of​ ​options​ ​to​ ​fill​ ​those​ ​needs.​ ​By​ ​examining each​ ​section,​ ​you’ll​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​tailor​ ​a​ ​kit​ ​to​ ​meet​ ​your​ ​needs,​ ​no​ ​matter​ ​what​ ​they​ ​are,​ ​so​ ​you have​ ​the​ ​best​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​list​ ​that​ ​you​ ​can​ ​put​ ​together. We’ve​ ​decided​ ​to​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​developing​ ​a​ ​set​ ​of​ ​tool​ ​to​ ​help​ ​you​ ​put​ ​together​ ​the​ ​best​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag for​ ​you​ ​instead​ ​of​ ​just​ ​giving​ ​you​ ​a​ ​list​ ​of​ ​what​ ​makes​ ​the​ ​best​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​for​ ​us.

Who​ ​Needs​ ​a​ ​Bug​ ​Out​ ​Bag? I​ ​always​ ​recommend​ ​bugging​ ​out​ ​only​ ​as​ ​a​ ​last​ ​resort,​ ​but​ ​that​ ​doesn’t​ ​mean​ ​that​ ​we​ ​shouldn’t be​ ​prepared​ ​to​ ​bug​ ​out.​ ​With​ ​our​ ​current​ ​political​ ​situation,​ ​both​ ​at​ ​home​ ​and​ ​worldwide,​ ​there are​ ​any​ ​number​ ​of​ ​possible​ ​scenarios​ ​that​ ​could​ ​cause​ ​us​ ​to​ ​have​ ​to​ ​bug​ ​out. If​ ​you​ ​live​ ​in​ ​an​ ​urban​ ​environment​ ​the​ ​need​ ​for​ ​you​ ​to​ ​have​ ​a​ ​well​ ​thought-out​ ​and​ ​prepared bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​list​ ​is​ ​even​ ​more​ ​important.​ ​Everyone​ ​living​ ​in​ ​a​ ​city​ ​or​ ​a​ ​suburban​ ​environment​ ​is at​ ​an​ ​increased​ ​risk​ ​to​ ​experience​ ​political​ ​and​ ​civil​ ​unrest,​ ​riots​ ​and​ ​will​ ​likely​ ​feel​ ​the​ ​effects​ ​of a​ ​man-made​ ​disaster​ ​before​ ​those​ ​in​ ​less​ ​populated​ ​areas. This​ ​doesn’t​ ​mean​ ​that​ ​those​ ​in​ ​a​ ​rural​ ​environment​ ​would​ ​never​ ​have​ ​to​ ​bug​ ​out.​ ​Many​ ​natural disasters,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​wildfires​ ​and​ ​hurricanes,​ ​could​ ​cause​ ​those​ ​in​ ​rural​ ​areas​ ​to​ ​have​ ​to​ ​bug​ ​out. Some​ ​people​ ​believe​ ​that​ ​after​ ​a​ ​disaster,​ ​those​ ​within​ ​the​ ​cities​ ​will​ ​migrate​ ​out​ ​to​ ​the​ ​rural areas.​ ​If​ ​this​ ​migration​ ​does​ ​take​ ​place,​ ​it’s​ ​one​ ​more​ ​reason​ ​for​ ​those​ ​in​ ​rural​ ​areas​ ​to​ ​be​ ​able to​ ​vacate​ ​quickly. If​ ​you​ ​aren’t​ ​properly​ ​prepared​ ​and​ ​haven’t​ ​taken​ ​the​ ​time​ ​to​ ​put​ ​together​ ​a​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag,​ ​you could​ ​possibly​ ​find​ ​yourself​ ​having​ ​to​ ​evacuate​ ​your​ ​home​ ​at​ ​a​ ​moment’s​ ​notice​ ​with​ ​no​ ​food,​ ​no water,​ ​and​ ​no​ ​equipment.​ ​By​ ​having​ ​a​ ​go​ ​bag​ ​ready​ ​you​ ​ensure​ ​that​ ​you​ ​and​ ​your​ ​family​ ​will always​ ​have​ ​the​ ​minimum​ ​gear​ ​needed​ ​to​ ​survive. We​ ​aim​ ​to​ ​provide​ ​you​ ​with​ ​a​ ​sampling​ ​of​ ​items​ ​that​ ​we​ ​feel​ ​would​ ​make​ ​a​ ​good​ ​addition​ ​to​ ​your bug​ ​out​ ​bag.​ ​As​ ​with​ ​all​ ​preparedness​ ​topics,​ ​you​ ​are​ ​the​ ​only​ ​one​ ​who​ ​knows​ ​your​ ​situation. You​ ​will​ ​have​ ​to​ ​modify​ ​the​ ​items​ ​in​ ​each​ ​category​ ​to​ ​best​ ​meet​ ​the​ ​needs​ ​of​ ​you​ ​and​ ​your family.

Guidelines​ ​for​ ​Selecting​ ​Items​ ​to​ ​Put​ ​on​ ​Your​ ​List When​ ​putting​ ​items​ ​on​ ​this​ ​list​ ​it’s​ ​best​ ​to​ ​include​ ​items​ ​that​ ​have​ ​multiple​ ​uses.​ ​This​ ​cuts​ ​down on​ ​weight​ ​and​ ​the​ ​number​ ​of​ ​items​ ​that​ ​you​ ​have​ ​to​ ​buy​ ​and​ ​carry. Don’t​ ​blindly​ ​select​ ​the​ ​least​ ​expensive​ ​gear​ ​out​ ​there.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​see​ ​two​ ​items​ ​that​ ​look​ ​very​ ​similar but​ ​have​ ​a​ ​large​ ​price​ ​difference,​ ​it’s​ ​probably​ ​because​ ​the​ ​less​ ​expensive​ ​item​ ​is​ ​made​ ​with lower​ ​quality​ ​materials.​ ​Of​ ​course,​ ​this​ ​isn’t​ ​always​ ​the​ ​case.​ ​Sometimes​ ​there​ ​are​ ​just​ ​items that​ ​present​ ​a​ ​very​ ​good​ ​value​ ​to​ ​the​ ​consumer.

http://readylifestyle.com The​ ​items​ ​on​ ​your​ ​list​ ​should​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​get​ ​you​ ​through​ ​the​ ​first​ ​72​ ​hours​ ​of​ ​an​ ​emergency. Some​ ​people​ ​even​ ​go​ ​so​ ​far​ ​as​ ​to​ ​call​ ​this​ ​a​ ​72-hour​ ​bag.​ ​Try​ ​to​ ​include​ ​items​ ​that​ ​will​ ​allow​ ​you to​ ​survive​ ​past​ ​the​ ​72-hour​ ​mark.​ ​Sustainability​ ​and​ ​reusability​ ​are​ ​important​ ​if​ ​we​ ​need​ ​to​ ​bug out. As​ ​an​ ​example,​ ​putting​ ​72​ ​hours​ ​of​ ​water​ ​in​ ​your​ ​bag​ ​may​ ​seem​ ​like​ ​a​ ​good​ ​idea,​ ​but​ ​putting just​ ​two​ ​or​ ​three​ ​liters​ ​of​ ​water​ ​in​ ​your​ ​bag​ ​and​ ​adding​ ​a​ ​portable​ ​water​ ​filter​ ​will​ ​last​ ​you​ ​much longer.

Full-size​ ​image:​ ​Create​ ​Your​ ​Perfect​ ​Bug​ ​Out​ ​Bag​ ​List Additional​ ​Considerations The​ ​climate,​ ​season,​ ​number​ ​of​ ​people​ ​in​ ​your​ ​family,​ ​etc.​ ​will​ ​all​ ​have​ ​an​ ​impact​ ​on​ ​what​ ​type of​ ​items​ ​we​ ​need​ ​in​ ​our​ ​bug-out​ ​bags.​ ​Make​ ​sure​ ​you​ ​take​ ​these​ ​into​ ​consideration​ ​when building​ ​your​ ​go​ ​bag. Military​ ​surplus​ ​stores​ ​make​ ​a​ ​great​ ​place​ ​to​ ​get​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​these​ ​items.​ ​I’d​ ​suggest​ ​swinging​ ​by one​ ​in​ ​your​ ​area​ ​and​ ​checking​ ​it​ ​out.​ ​They​ ​sometimes​ ​have​ ​great​ ​deals​ ​on​ ​gear​ ​that’s​ ​hardly been​ ​used.

The​ ​Ready​ ​Lifestyle​ ​Bug​ ​Out​ ​Bag The​ ​Backpack​ ​(Grey​ ​Man​ ​or​ ​Tactical) The​ ​base​ ​of​ ​any​ ​good​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​is​ ​the​ ​bag​ ​itself.​ ​When​ ​choosing​ ​a​ ​bag​ ​there​ ​are​ ​several things​ ​to​ ​take​ ​into​ ​consideration. If​ ​you​ ​live​ ​in​ ​an​ ​urban​ ​environment,​ ​choosing​ ​a​ ​backpack​ ​that​ ​does​ ​not​ ​appear​ ​tactical​ ​can​ ​be an​ ​advantage.​ ​Being​ ​able​ ​to​ ​look​ ​like​ ​any​ ​other​ ​person​ ​on​ ​the​ ​street​ ​will​ ​make​ ​you​ ​less​ ​of​ ​a target​ ​if​ ​you​ ​are​ ​trying​ ​to​ ​evacuate​ ​a​ ​city​ ​(or​ ​other​ ​populated​ ​area)​ ​on​ ​foot.​ ​This​ ​grey​ ​man approach​ ​is​ ​often​ ​the​ ​preferred​ ​theory​ ​for​ ​people​ ​in​ ​cities​ ​and​ ​those​ ​that​ ​may​ ​be​ ​caught​ ​in​ ​a populated​ ​area. For​ ​those​ ​of​ ​you​ ​that​ ​live​ ​in​ ​a​ ​rural​ ​environment,​ ​a​ ​tactical​ ​pack​ ​may​ ​serve​ ​you​ ​better.​ ​These backpacks​ ​or​ ​often​ ​designed​ ​to​ ​effectively​ ​carry​ ​large​ ​amounts​ ​of​ ​equipment​ ​in​ ​a​ ​compact package.​ ​Camouflage​ ​patterns​ ​will​ ​also​ ​allow​ ​you​ ​to​ ​blend​ ​into​ ​your​ ​surroundings​ ​better. Regardless​ ​of​ ​the​ ​style​ ​of​ ​pack​ ​you​ ​choose,​ ​a​ ​subdued​ ​color​ ​is​ ​probably​ ​the​ ​way​ ​to​ ​go.

Osprey​ ​Aether​ ​AG​ ​60

Osprey​ ​makes​ ​great​ ​packs​ ​in​ ​all​ ​colors,​ ​shapes,​ ​and​ ​sizes.​ ​This​ A ​ ether​ ​AG​ ​60​​ ​is​ ​designed​ ​for​ ​a week​ ​on​ ​the​ ​trail​ ​and​ ​comes​ ​with​ ​a​ ​removable​ ​top​ ​lid​ ​that​ ​can​ ​be​ ​used​ ​as​ ​a​ ​daypack.​ ​The adjustments​ ​available​ ​with​ ​the​ ​pack​ ​make​ ​it​ ​suitable​ ​as​ ​a​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​for​ ​almost​ ​all​ ​adults.

Kelty​ ​Redwing​ ​44 Kelty​ ​is​ ​another​ ​well-known​ ​manufacturer​ ​of​ ​backpacks.​ ​The​ K ​ elty​ ​Redwing​ ​44​​ ​is​ ​on​ ​what​ ​we would​ ​call​ ​the​ ​small​ ​side​ ​for​ ​a​ ​full​ ​on​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag,​ ​but​ ​it​ ​would​ ​certainly​ ​work.​ ​It’s​ ​size​ ​also makes​ ​it​ ​less​ ​conspicuous​ ​compared​ ​to​ ​other​ ​hiking​ ​packs​ ​that​ ​are​ ​much​ ​larger.​ ​A​ ​bag​ ​like​ ​this could​ ​be​ ​a​ ​great​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​for​ ​an​ ​older​ ​child.

TETON​ ​Sports​ ​Scout​ ​3400 This​ ​Teton​ ​pack​ ​is​ ​55​ ​liters​ ​and​ ​is​ ​the​ ​most​ ​affordable​ ​pack​ ​we’re​ ​looking​ ​at​ ​in​ ​this​ ​article​ ​at​ ​right around​ ​$60.​ ​The​ ​Teton​ ​Scout​ ​3400​​ ​represents​ ​a​ ​sweet​ ​spot​ ​for​ ​cost,​ ​durability,​ ​and​ ​size.​ ​It’s fully​ ​adjustable​ ​and​ ​pretty​ ​close​ ​in​ ​size​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Osprey.​ ​Something​ ​like​ ​this​ ​is​ ​what​ ​I’d recommend​ ​to​ ​anyone​ ​putting​ ​together​ ​a​ ​new​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag.

If​ ​you’re​ ​looking​ ​to​ ​build​ ​a​ ​more​ ​tactical​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag,​ ​this​ ​could​ ​be​ ​just​ ​what​ ​you’re​ ​looking​ ​for. A​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​people​ ​swear​ ​by​ ​5.11​ ​products,​ ​but​ ​I​ ​tend​ ​to​ ​prefer​ ​a​ ​pack​ ​designed​ ​for​ ​comfort​ ​when​ ​I intend​ ​to​ ​wear​ ​a​ ​pack​ ​for​ ​days​ ​on​ ​end.​ ​There’s​ ​nothing​ ​wrong​ ​with​ ​a​ ​pack​ ​like​ ​this,​ ​in​ ​fact,​ ​this pack​ ​has​ ​rave​ ​reviews​ ​on​ ​every​ ​site​ ​I​ ​can​ ​find.​ ​It’s​ ​just​ ​been​ ​my​ ​experience​ ​that,​ ​after​ ​a​ ​couple days​ ​with​ ​a​ ​pack​ ​like​ ​this,​ ​I’m​ ​much​ ​more​ ​tired​ ​than​ ​I​ ​am​ ​with​ ​other​ ​backpacks.

How​ ​to​ ​Pack​ ​Your​ ​Bug​ ​Out​ ​Bag

To​ ​keep​ ​your​ ​pack​ ​as​ ​stable​ ​as​ ​possible,​ ​load​ ​the​ ​heaviest​ ​gear​ ​next​ ​to​ ​your​ ​back​ ​and​ ​centered in​ ​the​ ​middle​ ​of​ ​the​ ​pack​ ​like​ ​the​ ​drawing​ ​above​ ​shows.​ ​Pack​ ​your​ ​lightest​ ​equipment​ ​in​ ​the bottom​ ​of​ ​your​ ​pack​ ​with​ ​the​ ​medium​ ​weight​ ​loaded​ ​at​ ​the​ ​top​ ​and​ ​outer​ ​parts​ ​of​ ​the​ ​bag. To​ ​maximize​ ​the​ ​amount​ ​of​ ​gear​ ​that​ ​you​ ​can​ ​pack​ ​in​ ​your​ ​bag,​ ​fill​ ​up​ ​items​ ​that​ ​have​ ​empty spaces​ ​with​ ​other​ ​items.​ ​As​ ​an​ ​example,​ ​you​ ​could​ ​put​ ​some​ ​items​ ​in​ ​your​ ​mess​ ​kit​ ​and​ ​pack your​ ​sleeping​ ​bag​ ​into​ ​any​ ​open​ ​areas​ ​around​ ​other​ ​light​ ​gear​ ​in​ ​the​ ​bottom​ ​of​ ​your​ ​pack. Fill​ ​in​ ​all​ ​empty​ ​space​ ​and​ ​use​ ​any​ ​internal​ ​tie​ ​downs​ ​to​ ​secure​ ​your​ ​items​ ​in​ ​place.​ ​This prevents​ ​the​ ​load​ ​from​ ​shifting​ ​in​ ​your​ ​pack​ ​and​ ​it​ ​will​ ​allow​ ​you​ ​to​ ​fit​ ​more​ ​items​ ​into​ ​it. Women​ ​and​ ​shorter​ ​men​ ​often​ ​find​ ​that​ ​carrying​ ​heavier​ ​weight​ ​slightly​ ​lower​ ​in​ ​the​ ​pack​ ​is​ ​more comfortable.​ ​Heavy​ ​items​ ​should​ ​still​ ​be​ ​high​ ​in​ ​the​ ​pack,​ ​but​ ​feel​ ​free​ ​to​ ​adjust​ ​your​ ​load​ ​for your​ ​comfort.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​just​ ​a​ ​general​ ​guide,​ ​not​ ​a​ ​hard​ ​and​ ​fast​ ​requirement.

http://readylifestyle.com Shelter​ ​(Tarp​ ​/​ ​Tent​ ​/​ ​Emergency​ ​Blanket​ ​/​ ​Sleeping​ ​Bag​ ​/​ ​Blankets) Shelter​ ​can​ ​come​ ​in​ ​many​ ​forms.​ ​A​ ​lightweight​ ​backpacking​ ​tent​ ​may​ ​be​ ​the​ ​best​ ​option​ ​for some,​ ​for​ ​others,​ ​a​ ​tarp​ ​makes​ ​more​ ​sense​ ​as​ ​it​ ​can​ ​be​ ​a​ ​shelter​ ​and​ ​has​ ​other​ ​uses.

Chill​ ​Gorilla​ ​10′​ ​Rain​ ​Fly A​ ​purpose​ ​made​ ​tarp,​ ​like​ ​this​ ​Chill​ ​Gorilla​ ​10′​ ​Rain​ ​Fly​,​ ​makes​ ​a​ ​great​ ​shelter.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​also​ ​use it​ ​to​ ​waterproof​ ​your​ ​pack,​ ​collect​ ​rainwater,​ ​etc.​ ​They’re​ ​extremely​ ​versatile​ ​on​ ​top​ ​of​ ​being​ ​light and​ ​not​ ​taking​ ​up​ ​much​ ​space. A​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​people​ ​would​ ​argue​ ​that​ ​a​ ​sleeping​ ​bag​ ​or​ ​blankets​ ​don’t​ ​constitute​ ​a​ ​shelter.​ ​I​ ​totally disagree.​ ​This​ ​list​ ​is​ ​completely​ ​modular.​ ​Just​ ​because​ ​a​ ​sleeping​ ​bag​ ​or​ ​blanket​ ​roll​ ​wouldn’t work​ ​for​ ​one​ ​situation,​ ​doesn’t​ ​mean​ ​that​ ​it​ ​wouldn’t​ ​be​ ​great​ ​for​ ​someone​ ​else. Blankets​ ​are​ ​also​ ​easy​ ​to​ ​come​ ​by​ ​and​ ​make​ ​a​ ​really​ ​cheap​ ​alternative​ ​that​ ​someone​ ​can​ ​start with​ ​an​ ​upgrade​ ​from​ ​later​ ​on.

http://readylifestyle.com An​ ​old​ ​military​ ​poncho​ ​makes​ ​a​ ​great​ ​makeshift​ ​tent​ ​and​ ​can​ ​be​ ​used​ ​to​ ​keep​ ​you​ ​dry​ ​in​ ​the event​ ​of​ ​inclement​ ​weather.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​add​ ​a​ ​poncho​ ​liner​ ​you​ ​have​ ​both​ ​a​ ​blanket​ ​and​ ​an​ ​extra layer​ ​that​ ​can​ ​keep​ ​you​ ​warm​ ​when​ ​it​ ​gets​ ​cold. For​ ​those​ ​that​ ​are​ ​likely​ ​to​ ​spend​ ​any​ ​length​ ​of​ ​time​ ​in​ ​an​ ​urban​ ​or​ ​suburban​ ​area,​ ​I​ ​recommend picking​ ​up​ ​Tom​ ​Brown’s​ ​Field​ ​Guide​ ​to​ ​City​ ​and​ ​Suburban​ ​Survival.​ ​The​ ​section​ ​on​ ​shelter building​ ​makes​ ​it​ ​a​ ​worthwhile​ ​purchase​ ​all​ ​by​ ​itself. Water​ ​(Filtration​ ​/​ ​Purification​ ​/​ ​Collection) Having​ ​a​ ​steady​ ​supply​ ​of​ ​water​ ​will​ ​be​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​things​ ​that​ ​you​ ​battle​ ​with​ ​first.​ ​The​ ​problem with​ ​water​ ​is​ ​that​ ​it’s​ ​heavy​ ​and​ ​takes​ ​up​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​room. With​ ​that​ ​in​ ​mind,​ ​we​ ​always​ ​recommend​ ​having​ ​some​ ​form​ ​of​ ​portable​ ​water​ ​filtration​ ​system as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​several​ ​collapsible​ ​water​ ​containers​ ​on​ ​your​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​list.​ ​Keep​ ​these​ ​containers full​ ​of​ ​water​ ​so​ ​you​ ​have​ ​something​ ​to​ ​drink​ ​when​ ​you​ ​first​ ​bug​ ​out.​ ​Then,​ ​as​ ​you​ ​empty​ ​the water​ ​containers​ ​you​ ​can​ ​refill​ ​them​ ​with​ ​water​ ​that​ ​you​ ​gather​ ​along​ ​the​ ​way.

Katadyn​ ​Hiker​ ​Microfilter The​ ​Katadyn​ ​Hiker​ ​Microfilter​​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​best​ ​handheld​ ​water​ ​filters​ ​available.​ ​It’s​ ​a​ ​little​ ​on the​ ​expensive​ ​side,​ ​but​ ​you​ ​get​ ​what​ ​you​ ​pay​ ​for.​ ​Something​ ​along​ ​these​ ​lines​ ​is​ ​important​ ​for any​ ​survival​ ​situation.

Nalgene​ ​Collapsible​ ​Wide​ ​Mouth​ ​Cantene Collapsible​ ​canteens​ ​are​ ​nice​ ​because​ ​you​ ​can​ ​roll​ ​them​ ​up​ ​when​ ​they’re​ ​empty​ ​to​ ​save​ ​space. I​ ​like​ ​these​ ​Nalgene​ ​Canteens​ ​because​ ​you​ ​can​ ​stand​ ​them​ ​up​ ​when​ ​they​ ​have​ ​water​ ​in​ ​them. Not​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​collapsible​ ​canteens​ ​I’ve​ ​used​ ​will​ ​do​ ​that. You​ ​can​ ​also​ ​add​ ​water​ ​purification​ ​tablets,​ ​or​ ​chemical​ ​disinfection​ ​kits​ ​since​ ​they​ ​take​ ​up​ ​very little​ ​room.

http://readylifestyle.com

Aquamira​ ​Water​ ​Purification​ ​Tablets Aquamira​ ​makes​ ​several​ ​types​ ​of​ ​water​ ​purification​ ​chemicals.​ ​These​ ​water​ ​purification​ ​tablets would​ ​be​ ​a​ ​good​ ​addition​ ​to​ ​any​ ​go​ ​bag​ ​as​ ​a​ ​backup​ ​to​ ​other​ ​water​ ​collection​ ​tools.

http://readylifestyle.com

Aquamira​ ​Water​ ​Treatment​ ​Kit This​ ​Aquamira​ ​Water​ ​Treatment​ ​kit​​ ​can​ ​treat​ ​up​ ​to​ ​60​ ​gallons​ ​of​ ​water.​ ​That’s​ ​far​ ​more​ ​water than​ ​you​ ​could​ ​ever​ ​carry​ ​in​ ​a​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag! You’re​ ​going​ ​to​ ​want​ ​to​ ​filter​ ​the​ ​water​ ​through​ ​a​ ​cloth​ ​(or​ ​a​ ​similar​ ​item)​ ​to​ ​remove​ ​any​ ​large particulates​ ​before​ ​you​ ​treat​ ​it. If​ ​you’ve​ ​included​ ​a​ ​mess​ ​kit​ ​or​ ​metal​ ​container​ ​of​ ​some​ ​kind,​ ​you​ ​can​ ​use​ ​that​ ​to​ ​boil​ ​water​ ​for an​ ​additional​ ​means​ ​of​ ​getting​ ​clean​ ​drinking​ ​water. Food​ ​(Freeze​ ​Dried​ ​Food​ ​/​ ​MREs​ ​/​ ​Ration​ ​Bars​ ​/​ ​Mess​ ​Kit​ ​/​ ​Utensils​ ​/​ ​Stove) The​ ​type​ ​of​ ​food​ ​that​ ​you​ ​bring​ ​will​ ​depend​ ​upon​ ​your​ ​environment.

http://readylifestyle.com Freeze​ ​dried​ ​food​ ​weighs​ ​very​ ​little​ ​but​ ​takes​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​water​ ​to​ ​rehydrate​ ​and​ ​cook.​ ​It​ ​probably makes​ ​sense​ ​for​ ​you​ ​to​ ​include​ ​freeze​ ​dried​ ​food​ ​if​ ​you​ ​live​ ​in​ ​an​ ​area​ ​that​ ​has​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​natural bodies​ ​of​ ​water.

Mountain​ ​House​ ​PRO-PAK The​ ​Mountain​ ​House​ ​Pro​ ​Pak​​ ​is​ ​designed​ ​with​ ​backpackers​ ​in​ ​mind.​ ​Each​ ​pack​ ​is​ ​one​ ​meal​ ​and comes​ ​vacuum​ ​packed​ ​to​ ​be​ ​as​ ​light​ ​and​ ​compact​ ​as​ ​possible.​ ​They​ ​come​ ​in​ ​a​ ​wide​ ​variety​ ​of flavors,​ ​so​ ​anyone​ ​should​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​find​ ​something​ ​they​ ​would​ ​enjoy. If​ ​you​ ​live​ ​in​ ​a​ ​very​ ​arid​ ​environment​ ​or​ ​an​ ​area​ ​that​ ​doesn’t​ ​have​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​natural​ ​water,​ ​such​ ​as a​ ​city,​ ​then​ ​packing​ ​food​ ​that​ ​doesn’t​ ​need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​rehydrated​ ​in​ ​your​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​makes​ ​sense. You​ ​just​ ​need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​aware​ ​that​ ​it’s​ ​going​ ​to​ ​weigh​ ​more​ ​and​ ​plan​ ​accordingly.​ ​MREs​ ​and canned​ ​food​ ​could​ ​be​ ​options​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​food​ ​ration​ ​bars​ ​and​ ​things​ ​like​ ​tuna​ ​and​ ​chicken packets.

http://readylifestyle.com If​ ​you​ ​choose​ ​to​ ​put​ ​canned​ ​food​ ​in​ ​your​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​(which​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​recommend)​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​you have​ ​a​ ​lightweight​ ​can​ ​opener​ ​like​ ​a​ ​P-51​ ​or​ ​a​ ​multi-tool.

Military​ ​MREs MREs​ ​are​ ​a​ ​great​ ​choice​ ​for​ ​an​ ​all​ ​in​ ​one​ ​meal​ ​that​ ​can​ ​be​ ​prepared​ ​with​ ​no​ ​outside​ ​equipment. If​ ​you​ ​decide​ ​to​ ​go​ ​with​ ​MREs​ ​you​ ​can​ ​strip​ ​them​ ​down​ ​and​ ​take​ ​out​ ​anything​ ​that​ ​you​ ​will​ ​not need.​ ​Take​ ​the​ ​food​ ​out​ ​of​ ​the​ ​boxes,​ ​remove​ ​the​ ​heaters​ ​(you​ ​could​ ​reuse​ ​them​ ​as​ ​a​ ​makeshift warmer​ ​if​ ​you​ ​live​ ​in​ ​a​ ​cold​ ​environment),​ ​get​ ​rid​ ​of​ ​the​ ​extra​ ​spoons,​ ​etc. When​ ​you’re​ ​done,​ ​reseal​ ​the​ ​plastic​ ​bag​ ​with​ ​a​ ​piece​ ​of​ ​duct​ ​tape.​ ​You’ll​ ​basically​ ​cut​ ​their​ ​bulk in​ ​half!​ ​Once​ ​an​ ​MRE​ ​is​ ​broken​ ​down​ ​like​ ​that,​ ​it​ ​makes​ ​more​ ​sense​ ​to​ ​include​ ​them​ ​anywhere that​ ​long​ ​shelf​ ​life,​ ​quickly​ ​prepared​ ​food​ ​is​ ​needed.

Datrex​ ​Emergency​ ​Food​ ​Bars Datrex​ ​Emergency​ ​Food​ ​Bars​​ ​are​ ​another​ ​option.​ ​They​ ​aren’t​ ​great,​ ​but​ ​they’re​ ​calories,​ ​take​ ​up very​ ​little​ ​space​ ​in​ ​a​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag,​ ​last​ ​for​ ​a​ ​long​ ​time​ ​and​ ​don’t​ ​need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​prepared.

Etekcity​ ​Ultralight​ ​Backpacking​ ​Stove A​ ​lightweight​ ​stove​ ​like​ ​this​ ​Etekcity​ ​Ultralight​ ​Backpacking​ ​Stove​​ ​takes​ ​up​ ​almost​ ​no​ ​space. They’re​ ​actually​ ​smaller​ ​and​ ​lighter​ ​than​ ​the​ ​fuel. You​ ​may​ ​also​ ​want​ ​to​ ​pack​ ​a​ ​mess​ ​kit​ ​and​ ​some​ ​eating​ ​utensils​ ​in​ ​your​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag. Clothing​ ​(Rain​ ​Gear​ ​/​ ​Hat​ ​/​ ​Socks​ ​/​ ​Underwear​ ​/​ ​Footwear) The​ ​amount​ ​of​ ​clothing​ ​that​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​put​ ​in​ ​your​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​is​ ​minimal.​ ​When​ ​you’re determining​ ​what​ ​to​ ​pack,​ ​try​ ​to​ ​keep​ ​it​ ​light​ ​and​ ​non-bulky.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​end,​ ​you​ ​just​ ​need​ ​something to​ ​protect​ ​you​ ​from​ ​the​ ​environment​ ​that​ ​you’re​ ​likely​ ​to​ ​encounter. Packing​ ​light​ ​rain​ ​gear​ ​is​ ​always​ ​a​ ​good​ ​idea.​ ​Heavy-duty​ ​trash​ ​bags​ ​can​ ​be​ ​used​ ​as​ ​makeshift rain​ ​gear​ ​and​ ​have​ ​many​ ​other​ ​uses.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​used​ ​a​ ​poncho​ ​as​ ​your​ ​shelter,​ ​you’re​ ​already​ ​good to​ ​go​ ​with​ ​rain​ ​gear.

If​ ​you​ ​live​ ​in​ ​a​ ​cold​ ​environment​ ​or​ ​an​ ​environment​ ​that​ ​has​ ​multiple​ ​seasons​ ​you​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to pack​ ​clothing​ ​accordingly.​ ​If​ ​your​ ​area​ ​has​ ​multiple​ ​seasons,​ ​I​ ​would​ ​suggest​ ​changing​ ​your loadout​ ​based​ ​on​ ​the​ ​season. If​ ​you​ ​don’t​ ​want​ ​to​ ​be​ ​bothered​ ​with​ ​changing​ ​the​ ​clothing​ ​in​ ​your​ ​go​ ​bag​ ​every​ ​few​ ​months then​ ​you​ ​should​ ​pack​ ​warm​ ​clothing​ ​that​ ​is​ ​both​ ​light​ ​and​ ​non-bulky.​ ​Modern​ ​synthetic​ ​materials make​ ​this​ ​very​ ​possible.​ ​Carrying​ ​too​ ​much​ ​is​ ​better​ ​than​ ​freezing​ ​to​ ​death​ ​when​ ​you​ ​have​ ​to bug​ ​out​ ​with​ ​your​ ​summer​ ​clothing​ ​in​ ​the​ ​middle​ ​of​ ​winter.

Normally​ ​a​ ​toothbrush,​ ​toothpaste,​ ​baby​ ​wipes,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​bar​ ​of​ ​soap​ ​will​ ​be​ ​enough​ ​to​ ​keep​ ​you clean.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​won’t​ ​have​ ​access​ ​to​ ​an​ ​outdoor​ ​water​ ​supply​ ​then​ ​you​ ​should​ ​consider​ ​packing more​ ​baby​ ​wipes​ ​and​ ​leaving​ ​the​ ​bar​ ​of​ ​soap​ ​at​ ​home.

http://readylifestyle.com Being​ ​able​ ​to​ ​defend​ ​yourself​ ​is​ ​extremely​ ​important​ ​in​ ​a​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​situation.​ ​What​ ​you​ ​decide​ ​to bring​ ​with​ ​you​ ​to​ ​defend​ ​yourself​ ​is​ ​going​ ​to​ ​depend​ ​upon​ ​where​ ​you​ ​live. If​ ​you​ ​live​ ​in​ ​a​ ​rural​ ​environment​ ​then​ ​some​ ​form​ ​of​ ​light​ ​semi-automatic​ ​rifle​ ​is​ ​going​ ​to​ ​suit​ ​you best.​ ​I​ ​personally​ ​prefer​ ​an​ ​AR-15​ ​but​ ​an​ ​AK-74​ ​or​ ​47​ ​would​ ​be​ ​a​ ​good​ ​option​ ​as​ ​well.​ ​Having​ ​a rifle​ ​will​ ​also​ ​allow​ ​you​ ​to​ ​take​ ​game​ ​if​ ​it​ ​presents​ ​itself​ ​while​ ​you’re​ ​moving​ ​from​ ​point​ ​A​ ​to​ ​point B. In​ ​my​ ​mind,​ ​a​ ​rifle​ ​should​ ​be​ ​the​ ​first​ ​weapon​ ​you​ ​reach​ ​for​ ​in​ ​any​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​situation.​ ​Even​ ​if you’re​ ​in​ ​the​ ​city,​ ​a​ ​short​ ​barreled​ ​AR-15​ ​pistol​ ​is​ ​a​ ​much​ ​better​ ​choice​ ​than​ ​a​ ​pistol​ ​in​ ​all​ ​ways other​ ​than​ ​concealability. A​ ​pistol​ ​can​ ​be​ ​your​ ​best​ ​bet​ ​if​ ​you’re​ ​bugging​ ​out​ ​from​ ​a​ ​city​ ​or​ ​suburban​ ​environment.​ ​This allows​ ​you​ ​to​ ​conceal​ ​your​ ​firearm,​ ​drawing​ ​less​ ​attention​ ​to​ ​yourself.​ ​If​ ​you’re​ ​not​ ​concerned with​ ​drawing​ ​attention​ ​to​ ​yourself​ ​then​ ​a​ ​rifle​ ​is​ ​a​ ​better​ ​all-around​ ​choice. My​ ​preferred​ ​pistol​ ​is​ ​a​ ​compact​ ​9mm​ ​like​ ​the​ ​Glock​ ​19​ ​or​ ​M&P​ ​9C.​ ​For​ ​me,​ ​they’re​ ​the​ ​best compromise​ ​between​ ​capacity,​ ​caliber,​ ​and​ ​concealability. Two​ ​extra​ ​magazines​ ​are​ ​probably​ ​enough,​ ​but​ ​that​ ​is​ ​up​ ​to​ ​you​ ​to​ ​decide​ ​for​ ​yourself.​ ​Adding more​ ​ammo​ ​to​ ​your​ ​bug​ ​out​ ​bag​ ​will​ ​allow​ ​you​ ​to​ ​protect​ ​yourself​ ​for​ ​a​ ​longer​ ​period​ ​of​ ​time,​ ​but the​ ​weight​ ​of​ ​ammo​ ​adds​ ​up​ ​fast​ ​so​ ​keep​ ​it​ ​to​ ​the​ ​minimum​ ​you​ ​think​ ​will​ ​get​ ​you​ ​by. Fire​ ​Making​ ​(Disposable​ ​Lighter​ ​/​ ​Ferrocerium​ ​Rod​ ​/​ ​Waterproof​ ​Matches) Being​ ​able​ ​to​ ​make​ ​a​ ​fire​ ​is​ ​important​ ​for​ ​a​ ​number​ ​of​ ​reasons.​ ​It​ ​allows​ ​you​ ​to​ ​cook,​ ​sterilize water​ ​and​ ​can​ ​keep​ ​you​ ​warm​ ​at​ ​night.​ ​A​ ​good​ ​fire​ ​can​ ​also​ ​provide​ ​a​ ​great​ ​motivation​ ​boost when​ ​you’re​ ​cold​ ​and​ ​wet. One​ ​of​ ​the​ ​best​ ​fire​ ​making​ ​devices​ ​available​ ​to​ ​anyone​ ​is​ ​a​ ​simple​ ​Bic​ ​disposable​ ​lighter.

Emergency​ ​Radio​ ​–​ ​Staying​ ​up​ ​to​ ​date​ ​on​ ​whatever​ ​event​ ​forced​ ​you​ ​out​ ​of​ ​your​ ​home​ ​is extremely​ ​important.​ ​Most​ ​emergency​ ​radios​ ​allow​ ​you​ ​to​ ​listen​ ​to​ ​NOAA​ ​and​ ​AM/FM​ ​channels. E-Tool​ ​–​ ​They’re​ ​often​ ​heavy,​ ​but​ ​they’re​ ​also​ ​a​ ​lifesaver​ ​if​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​do​ ​some​ ​digging. Prybar​ ​–​ ​This​ ​could​ ​be​ ​a​ ​lifesaver​ ​for​ ​anyone​ ​bugging​ ​out​ ​from​ ​the​ ​city.​ ​Being​ ​able​ ​to​ ​gain access​ ​to​ ​a​ ​secured​ ​area​ ​could​ ​mean​ ​the​ ​difference​ ​between​ ​finding​ ​food​ ​and​ ​going​ ​hungry. Lock​ ​Picks​ ​–​ ​Along​ ​the​ ​same​ ​lines​ ​as​ ​the​ ​pry​ ​bar. Signal​ ​Mirror​ ​–​ ​They’re​ ​really​ ​light​ ​and​ ​are​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​best​ ​ways​ ​to​ ​signal​ ​to​ ​another​ ​person during​ ​the​ ​daytime. Survival​ ​Whistle​ ​–​ ​Another​ ​good​ ​signaling​ ​device. Duct​ ​Tape​ ​–​ ​Who​ ​doesn’t​ ​love​ ​this​ ​multi-use​ ​wonder?​ ​You​ ​can​ ​carefully​ ​unroll​ ​the​ ​duct​ ​tape​ ​and then​ ​re-roll​ ​it​ ​back​ ​onto​ ​itself​ ​to​ ​get​ ​it​ ​down​ ​to​ ​a​ ​manageable​ ​size.
