BUG OUT BACK CHECKLIST (Emergency Supply List)
First note: you MUST have a plan with your loved ones where you can all meet up for then an escape route—especially if you live in the city and are looking to “bug out” of town. Many of you are like me, homesteader, so you will “bug in” and not “out”. Either way, you must know what your plan is to then know what to pack in your bag. Another important note: don’t pack stuff you don’t need or have no idea how to use. Take only the essentials with you. It should be easy to be carried on your back, in case a car is not an option. Your bag will be different than everyone else’s based on your plan and situation. Below are the basics across the board, vary yours for your own specific need. Example: if you have to leave your home and get out of town but have no family to go to, camping might be your option, add camping gear to your list. For this purpose though, it won’t be mentioned.
Basics Include:
Flashlights—2 of them with 6 sets of batteries for each
First Aid Kit—plenty in there for every event. They sell great kits at Walmart
Blankets or sleeping bags—even if it is summer, you need protection from the elements or if someone is ill, wrap them
Hunting Knife
Matches and lighters
Shovel
Pot for boiling water and a frying pan to cook in
Trash bag to act as a rain poncho
Tarp to cover your stuff to keep it dry—or plastic sheeting
Rope
Can opener
Hatchet
Vodka—sterilizes wounds
FOOD: 3 day supply of
Bottle water
Canned food
Note: if you are bugging in to you homestead, this list won't apply to you. This is for those that need to get out of the city and get safe.
