Bugout Bag Checklist - Will You Remember All Of The Bug Out Gear And Essentials

First, make sure you check the QUALITY of the bag itself

, it needs to be strong enough to withstand being tossed around in your trunk .

A solar backpack is great with plenty of pockets and outer straps to strap extra items onto the pack, like shoes etc..

Make sure each bag has an ownership tag on it with all important info such as the following for identification purposes.

*age of the person using the pack

*allergies (if there are any)

*names and numbers of friends

*meeting place where the rest of the family might be (optional)

Here is a simple Bug Out Bag Checklist for items you will want to start adding to your pack - you may want to bookmark this for easy reference .

*Flashlight (the shakeable ones are great)

*Hand or Battery Operated Radio

*Batteries - preferably re-chargeables

*Whistle

*Magnesium Firestarter or water proof matches

*Survival knife or Multi-tool

*money (cash)

*An extra change of good sturdy clothes

*map of local area

*Some freeze dried food and several bottles of water

*duct tape and strong rope

*Photos for re-identification purposes

*Several emergency numbers of people that can be contacted

*Copies of your insurance, passports and ID cards

*Extra pair of glasses (if you wear some)

*First aid kit - you can get really inexpensive basic first aid kits to add to your pack

*Personal hygene stuff, you know, like toothbrush, comb, soap and deodorant

*Extra pair of house and vehicle keys

*Good strong rope

The items below are not as essential as the list above but I would recommend adding whatever you can fit into your emergency backpack from the bug out bag checklist below.

Heavy duty work gloves

Bleach and eye dropper (for water purification)
