Figuring Out How To Build A Bug Out Bag
If you are trying to figure out how to build a bug out bag and just don’t know where to start then don’t worry, you aren’t the only one. It can be pretty daunting and there are a lot of things to take into account, but there are some basics that you can start with.
First of all, you need to address the issue of food and water. Know how much of it you will need to survive for about 3 days and pack as much of that as you can. The next couple of items you should consider would be fire and shelter. Fire is extremely important and I recommend you pack at least two different methods of creating it. One is the obvious butane lighter, but you should also pack a low-tech way of creating fire as well. Shelter can be anything from a poncho that you can tie off as a makeshift shelter, or a tent that you tie to your bug out bag. You should also consider first aid and rescue. You never know what the disaster that you are bugging out from may bring in the way of injuries. Pack a good first aid kit and know how to use it. By rescue, I mean making yourself known to rescuers so that they can see you and get to you to rescue you.’
If you could predict when disaster is going to strike and just stay away from there, then you could be making plenty of money on cable T.V. But since you can’t, prepare yourself so that in the event you have to grab your gear and get out, you have some gear to grab!
About the Author
I am Aaron Pocat ("A-Poc" of 72hoursurvival.com.) I grew up in south Texas and lived through a couple of hurricanes. I know the need to be prepared for disaster. Of course, it was the seventies then and we didn’t pay much attention to being prepared, but now that I am older and watching what is happening around the world, I am gaining a new respect for the old boy scout motto, “Be Prepared.” To that end, I have written a page on building a Bug Out Bag and urge you to read it and start yours today.
