I've just been meeting more people who have a bug-out-bag somewhere for just in case emergencies.
For those unaware what a bug out bag is, it's a bag full of all the emergency supplies you might need for in case of natural disaster, societal breakdown, or any other emergency. Most seem to be everything one might need for 3 days, while others are for a week. Some are designed to just get you a few days before everything returns, while others are meant as a doomsday companion, with stuff you may need in case normal life never returns.
I have some emergency supplies at my house, but not an actual bag. But considering the likelihood of a very large earthquake which could topple many houses, kill electricity, cause hundreds of large fires and so on, I think I may put together a bag.
Some of the more common items people have are 3 days water, 3 days food, warm wool clothing, rain gear, medical kit including a backup of any meds you take, as well as bandages and stuff like that. Water filter. Weapons, from knives to guns. A shortwave radio, flashlights and extra batteries for both. fix-it stuff like zipties, duct tape, superglue, paracord. a book. more.
Anyway, who has made one? Thoughts?
