subject: Bug Out Bag Content List [print this page] Bug Out Bag Content List Bug Out Bag Content List
I put together what I think is a pretty good checklist of needed products for a bug out bag (72hr package) and think that it is well worth sharing. The only thing I might include is to be sure you integrate a minimum of a pistol, rifle, and a good blade in with this specific preparation. So be prepare for the worst then pray for the best. You'll never regret getting ready and not needing it but could definatly regret needing it and not being prepared. This will be some sort of work in progress for me personally and I hope you'll join me in the quest to be prepared.
