The five items you need to have with you for bugging-out BOB or for emergencies
My top 5 never change much – except for the time of year:
#1 – Water filtration / purification tabs (summer #1 / winter #2)
#2 – Fire Starter or Tinder & Striker Kit (winter #1 / summer #2)
#3 – Knife (tactical folder)
#4 – Space blanket (will double as a poncho to keep the water off too)
#5 – Emerg food / water rations (small packs)
What’s in your bug-out-bag?
All good choices. But I hope to not be like Les Stroud and stranded with just five items.
I’ll say it more in kits:
1) Water filter & purification tabs with a small container for gathering
2) Fire kit: includes matches, magnesium, flint, fat wood, lint, etc.
3) My Kabar but my multitool is hopefully around too
4) Space blanket and more than one. I have them everywhere. Plus if I have my BOB I’ll have a down sleeping bag.
5) Always an MRE and some emergency rations in my BOB.
Ya I know, I broke the theme of the post by having more than five items…
All great items in your bag Andrew…but a great big FAIL on the list of 5!!! lol
I have a ton of crap in my BOB too!!! lol
Wanna try again?!?
