What A Survival Bug Out Back Is

By Ruthie Livingston


It is necessary to prepare when disasters like natural calamities come your way. And so it is imperative that you pack the most necessary items you need to survive within the given period of time you are away from the convenience of home. Do not mistake this though from packing out for leaving. This is an entirely different thing.

You would not want to travel back down to the mountain foot just to buy food or any other thing you need for your consumption. That would only waste your time and consume your energy before you are able to do what you intend to do. So before leaving from your premises, pack up a survival bug out back.

Now this bag is designed in such a way that you would be able to fit all your needed items in order to survive the period of time you are away from home. The idea behind this is suggested by the disaster and risk management org. This is actually drawn from the perspective of the rescue operation since it usually takes at least seventy two hours for the rescue team to reach the afflicted area.

Its size is just enough to contain a stock that is good for seventy two days of supply. This is basically designed in order to contain all the stuff you need to survive through the period of time you will be camping. Also, the design of the bag is particularly made to accommodate all the items. So you will find compartments which have specific contents.

The first and foremost purpose of this kit is to allow you to be able to move around quickly and conveniently when disaster strike. Other than containing all the things that you need, this bag has been designed in such a way that you would not be held back from traveling or moving around. Such design and ideas came from disaster relief management organizations.

First of all, you need to of course pack up food and water which is enough for your consumption for seventy two hours. Actually, there are some bags which are designed to contain goods which are to last more than this given period of time. This one is for a long term survival. But make sure to bring only canned or non perishable goods like MREs, biscuits, etc.

Also, make sure you bring along a first aid kit and medicines. It is possible to meet accidents or get sick within this period of time especially since it will be inconvenient not to be in your home. So prepare for the worse. You cannot avail of a medical service during this period of time. That is why take the initiative and take good care of your body.

That way, you do not need to cook. Nor would the goods expire or get spoiled within the period of time you are out. Other than that, bring along first aid kit and medicines. This would be helpful if you meet with an accident along the way or catch a fever as well. Since there are no doctors you can meet, you certainly have to take care of yourself.

Lastly, do not forget to secure some important documents. The most important ones are your IDs, passport, and birth certificate. This holds all important information about you. So it would help when you go to begin a new life in another place.
