How To Make A Bug Out Bag
Survival kits come in many shapes and sizes. Freeze dried foods are easy – just mix some warm water (or cold works too – although a main course meal may not be as tasty cold) to rehydrate and then eat it. The individual pouches do take up some room in the pack, but are perfect because of their storage length, light weight, and fast prep.
Having a ready to go Bug Out Bag allows you quickly grab the emergency gear you need, should you be forced to evacuate during a crisis. Here’s what Graywolf from Graywolf Survival carries and why, as well as some suggestions on how to plan your EDC kit. Also include Neosporin, iodine, burn cream, assorted band aids and bandages, a Sawyer Extractor, latex gloves, an irrigating syringe, super glue, razor blade, mole skin, and a large ace bandage.
First, let’s take a look at the personal survival kit, the one you’ll be carrying when you hike and explore. A travel themed kit can include passport holders, a travel pillow, maps, a funny fanny pack, and other little travel related trinkets. While large or bulky kit may include more items, it will be difficult to carry around.
You should have some sort of shelter materials in your emergency kit. As you mentioned, it’s very difficult these days to take some items that are useful survival kit as carry-on luggage on commercial flights. I suggest that everyone should have at least a 72-hour grab-and-run kit, plus a minimum of 2 weeks of food supplies on hand at all times.
Forti’s kit of choice is a bit larger and bulkier, but not overbearingly so. It can be worn on a belt in a pouch and includes enough gear to make a longer unplanned wilderness excursion” survivable with some modicum of basic comfort. These kits have just about everything you can think of for most emergency situations.
