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.

Usually, when disaster strikes, the local authority voices out a warning. If worse comes to worst, they impose evacuation from the area of responsibility. This is when packing up for survival becomes necessary. For this, you need to fix your survival bug out back and prepare all the contents that you need in order to be ready to evacuate.

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.

But amidst such differences, the items that you need to prepare are more or less the same. There are just some that are different, depending on the situation you are in. But for the most part, you are entitled to bring the following in order to survive for the period of time you are under the risk of disaster.

That is because a survival bag intended for a hurricane evacuation is different from that of a survival bag which is prescribed for a wildfire or tornado prone area. But since your intention is to camp, yours would be of the same type as the two but still holds a slight difference. Nevertheless, the content for survival is still pretty much the same.

Also, make sure you bring along a first aid kit and medicines. It is possible to meet accidents or get sick within this period of time especially since it will be inconvenient not to be in your home. So prepare for the worse. You cannot avail of a medical service during this period of time. That is why take the initiative and take good care of your body.

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.

Examples of such documents are your birth certificate and your passport. This is in order to prepare for the worse. So packing these up really requires preparation. Always check if you included everything. That way, you would not miss anything when you are out of the area.
