The One Item You Absolutely Have To Have
There is one item you absolutely have to have when it comes time to bug out. Can you guess what this item is?
Take a second and think about it.
I'll give you a clue. It's something most people don't have. It's something most people don't even realize they need—and many of them aren't going to realize it until it's too late.
If you've done any research into bugging out or know a bit about survival, you've probably already guessed the item I'm talking about is a bug out bag.
A bug out bag is a survival kit that'll drastically up your chances of survival. It should be kept in an easy to access location in your home, preferably with the rest of the supplies you'd like to take with you if you have the time.
Bug out bags are known by a number of names, the most popular of which are:
The BOB (Bug Out Bag).
Grab bag.
Grab-and-go back.
72-hour kit.
GOOD (Get Out Of Dodge) bag.
PERK (Personal Emergency Relocation Kit).
Go bag.
Short-term survival kit.
The idea behind a BOB is to have a kit packed that contains all the items you need to survive for 72 hours. This kit focuses on getting you out of the area you're in and to a safer location.
