Go bag & Bug out bags

Our Bug Out Bags are built on the same principles as our emergency kits and cover the basic needs of warmth, water, and food. The difference between an emergency kit and a Bug Out Bag is that one is intended for use at home, while the other is designed to be used when traveling to or from home.

What is a Go Bag or Bug Out Bag?

A Go Bag aims to cover your needs from a specific point to home. This could be from work, a temporary location, or during travel. Examples of situations that might require a Go Bag include a massive power outage, a natural disaster, or even an invasion. Under these circumstances, public transportation might come to a halt, and roads might become impassable. Similarly, a Bug Out Bag follows the same principle, with the difference that it's intended for quickly leaving your home. You might need to reach a shelter, a cabin, or even just a less populated area for a period of time.

What Should a Go Bag or Bug Out Bag Contain?

The contents of a bag can vary significantly from person to person and largely depend on personal preferences. However, what's common for all of us is our physical needs for warmth, water, food, and rest. These needs are fundamental and cannot be overlooked. Therefore, the contents should primarily address these necessities. Subsequently, the environment you find yourself in and your own physical capabilities and knowledge play a role. Whether you need to navigate through forests and fields or an urban setting, as well as whether it's winter or summer, are factors that influence the contents, even though the basic needs remain.

Build Your Bug Out Bag in Modules

An idea is to build your bag in modules that can be replaced and supplemented according to circumstances. For instance, a core bag that can be supplemented with a winter kit or additional equipment for woods and fields. A Go Bag can quickly become a Bug Out Bag, even though the latter might need more space for an extended period away from home.

The Most Important Component in Your Bug Out Bag

One of the most crucial components in both emergency kits and Bug Out Bags is always knowledge and self-awareness. It's a good idea, under favorable conditions, to travel on foot from your usual workplace that you usually commute to by car. Get to know the route and the terrain, learn which areas could be hazardous in a stressful situation and which could be assets. Understand what is physically required of you and get to know both your limitations and what is possible. Often, you can accomplish more than you think. If nothing else, it's good for your body, mind, and the environment.

Pre-made Bug Out Bags

For simplicity's sake, we have put together ready-made bags. Our bags are based on the same fundamental needs as our emergency kits. We need warmth, water, and food to function, and these needs should be covered by the contents. Access to information can also be important. The difference between an emergency kit and a Go Bag is that one is adapted for the home, and the other is for getting to the home. On the other hand, a Bug Out Bag is intended to get you away from home, and even though the contents of both bags are generally similar, a Bug Out Bag usually requires a bit more equipment.
