Bug Out Bag preparation - 5 Tips For Creating Your Own Survival Kit

When disaster strikes, be it an act of terrorism, urban upheaval or a natural disaster such as a hurricane, fire or tornado, you need to be prepared for the possibility that you can not stay in your home. The best way to ensure your survival in such a crisis situation is to have a ready made survival kit...also known as a bug out bag or B.O.B. So what needs to go in your B.O.B.? Here is a handy list that will help you make a trustworthy survival kit.

Type Of Bag

Poncho

There is no one best type of bag to use for your survival kit, it plainly needs to be something that works for you. Many people use soldiery bags, like Alice packs or extra Ops T.H.E packs. These pack a lot of gear, are super durable and are ordinarily waterproof or resistant. But really, you can use any comfortable backpack for your bug out bag. Check out camping stores for good models and ideas.

Food

You will need to pack a decent contribute of food rations and Mre's (Meals Ready to Eat). Look for easy to carry rations that want no water to prepare, have a high calorie count, withstand extreme temperatures, and will not make you thirsty (many do). The point here is to pack food that will give you the most bang for your buck in the smallest form.

Water

In a crisis survival situation, you need to be able to both carry water, and filter it. Durable plastic bottles and collapsible water bags are good containers, the collapsible ones especially since you can pack several of them without taking up much room in your bug out bag. For filtering water, a conveyable hand pump filter will clean many types of water. You can also get a conveyable water purifier, or use water purification tablets.

Shelter

Rather than a tent, pack a multi-use poncho. You can wear it, and also use it as a small protection from rain, sun and snow. If your pack allows it, you can strap a small tent or rolled up tarp to the outside. However, with survival kits, it is good to think multi-use. A poncho can also obtain water, signal for help and more.

Emergency

Always include a first aid kit in your bug out bag. Bandages, disinfectant, nausea pills, scissors, and pain relievers are all components of a good survival kit. Of course, all the time stash extra supplies of any critical medication because in an crisis or disaster, you will not be able to refill prominent healing prescriptions.

This list will get you started on a basic bug out bag, good for having at the ready whenever disaster strikes and you have to get on the move!
