Bug Out Bags - What's In Yours?

[AnOminous]

Just wondering.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

While I don't have one yet, I've been meaning to put one together.
I'll definitely be putting in water proof matchsticks, those iodine pills to purify water, survival knife, a canteen, some MREs.
I can't think of what else I should throw in there.

 

[crocodilian]

A gun, which I'll use to take your bug-out bag if it's any good.

 

[TiggerNits]

Lots of bugs

 

[Milk Mage]

I seriously need mine put together. Problem is, there's no way I can afford to buy all the necessities (InfoWars Water Filter, InfoWars Super Male Vitality, InfoWars prostate massager, etc). Anyone know how to get gud shit on a retail salary?

 

[Exorbital Columnations]

I have my mind and an over-weėning amount of hubristic self-confidence and that's all I need.

 

[AnOminous]

I'm a fan of lots of beef jerky but there has to be more.

 

[RG 448]

A shotgun, ammo, and enough water and jerky to hold me over until I find someone to rob.

But that's mean!

Do you really think we'll just instantly degenerate into Mad Max shit the instant that society inevitably collapses?

No that’s why it’ll be easy to catch people off guard

I have a Bug-In-Bag. It's really more of a room. Safes, canned food, dehydrated food, water filters, distilling equipment, guns, ammo, medical books I haven't read yet, basic medical supplies I should really learn to use...
I live rural enough that I fell like I'd have better luck staying put and defending against people leaving the city.

 

[Recoil]

I'm working towards a bugout van.
Off-Grid is my endgame.

Which is why mine will be filled with an I.O.U. note.

And fire ants.

No lie I think setups like that are cool as shit.

lol thanks for the protein and toilet paper.

 

[AnOminous]

And fire ants.

You fucking bastard. I'm going to have an entire bag of bed bugs for you.

Yes. Especially our cows that are addicted to Twitter. All that aggression with no outlet?

 

[VIVIIXI]

The first was inevitable. The second was just plain courtesy.

You fucking bastard. I'm going to have an entire bag of bed bugs for you.

*Note to self: Rob a pharmacy for condoms and prep in anticipation of the aforementioned bed-bug riddled bag.

They have really good sales a few times a year. You might have to get the prostate massager someplace else though. Some of the water filter stuff you can get pretty cheap online, I think mine came from Amazon.

 

[Fek]

I just have some shit packed away in a safe room and use the forum's "new account" passphrase as the "key" for one of you lucky motherfuckers to find someday.

Null's avatar is taped to the door..should get the point across.

I'm bugged-in as well. I won't get into the self-defense arsenal other than to say, it's exceptional. As I live in the desert, bugging "out" is difficult as the one thing you need the most is water. You simply can't carry enough to sustain yourself for anything other than a relatively short period of time. Assuming the household supply is cut off for whatever reason, there's 38,000 gallons sitting chlorinated in the swimming pool that could be easily boiled to drink, once the cases of bottled water run out. And to flush the toilet when needed. While there are some lakes not too far away, they'll be magnets for all those bugging out and will quickly become a disaster in and off themselves.

Other things I've put in place:

• A fully stocked pantry with enough canned goods, pasta, rice and beans to last a few months.
• A fully stocked freezer, which would be the first to be eaten as power may be an issue. Even with a back-up generator, the issue of getting enough fuel to run it long term would be questionable.
• A dozen propane tanks, full and at the ready. Several charcoal and gas grills to do the cooking. Bags of charcoal stacked in the garage.
• Candles, flashlights, and batteries. All kinds of batteries.
• A full pharmacy, including antibiotics, painkillers and a lot of other drugs that might be needed. This is the number one thing people overlook in their bug out plans. You are likely to get sick. In this same vein, I have lots of bandages and first aid materials, as well.
• Marine band VHF radios and walkie-talkies. Once the cellular network goes down, there will be no means of communication. I may yet pick up an old CB radio off Ebay, as well. But most of those require electricity, the VHF radios and walkie-talkies use batteries.
• Stuff for trade. Ammo, coffee, and liquor. Your money will be worthless; have something you know will be valuable barter.

There's a bunch of other stuff that I'm probably overlooking at the moment. I don't dwell on being a total prepper or anything of the sorts, but I do want to ensure my family has a decent chance at it when the shit hits the fan for whatever reason.
