What A Survival Bug Out Back Is

By Ruthie Livingston


It is necessary to prepare when disasters like natural calamities come your way. And so it is imperative that you pack the most necessary items you need to survive within the given period of time you are away from the convenience of home. Do not mistake this though from packing out for leaving. This is an entirely different thing.

You would not want to travel back down to the mountain foot just to buy food or any other thing you need for your consumption. That would only waste your time and consume your energy before you are able to do what you intend to do. So before leaving from your premises, pack up a survival bug out back.

This bag should contain the most necessary items that you need in order to survive for weeks away from the convenience of home. In short, it is a portable kit. Usually, the content of this bag is good only for your consumption within seventy two hours. However, there are some which are designed to contain a kit for a longer time period.

This kind of bag out idea could be distinguished as an aid for camping, evacuation, and long term survival. This term in itself was taken from the military concept of a bail out bag or emergency kit which soldiers carry at their backs. This contains emergency gear and everything they need to endure for the time frame they are on their assignment.

Such design actually came from the advice coming from disaster and relief organizations. The seventy two hour time frame of the consumption of the goods carried by the bag is the period of time rescuers can reach the afflicted area in cases when disaster strikes. But there are differences in the design of certain bags.

First of all, you need to of course pack up food and water which is enough for your consumption for seventy two hours. Actually, there are some bags which are designed to contain goods which are to last more than this given period of time. This one is for a long term survival. But make sure to bring only canned or non perishable goods like MREs, biscuits, etc.

And not only that, it is made that way in order to secure the measurement of every needed item. However, the bags contents may vary depending on the area of the user since the things needed by somebody who is evacuating from a hurricane are different from the things needed by somebody living in a tornado or wildfire prone area.

Aside from that, bring equipment for lighting and fire making as well. These would be items like flashlight, some batteries, lighters or matches, and lamps. This way, you would thrive in a dim environment and get through the night. Also secure a tent or sleeping bag for a temporary shelter and bedding. These are what you call standard camping tools.

Lastly, bring along the things that will extend help to you such as for example lighting and fire making tools. Examples of which are flashlights, matches, and lighters. Also secure a standard camping tent or sleeping bag together with some important items like knife, maps, and ID.
