Bug out bag recommendations

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Bug out bag recommendations

Posted: 7/21/2008 4:05:06 PM EDT

Well I finally took the plunge and got myself a bug out bag. LApolicegear had a great deal for $20.00, so I said why not?!

Here is what I have so far. Please recommend what I can add.

So far I have:
Two 2-way radios
Casio G Shock watch
Money
Mags for AR15 and HK USP45c
Polytech AK47 or AR15 SBR and HK USP45c pistol
Ammo
Knife & multitool
Spare cell phone
First-aid supplies
ink pens & jump drive

What I plan to add:
Flashlight
non perishable food items
Extra bag with clothing

What am I missing?

I'm sure there are plenty of people in GD that can answer this question, but the guys in the Survival Forum would probably be more than happy to answer this question in detail (I'm sure there's a sticky or a great thread full of info in there already)

Why have AR mags if you carry an AK in your BOB/BOV?

Those were a great deal on bags though

Well it's either the AK or the AR. It just depends which one is closest at the moment.

3 ways to start a fire
water purification gear
I added a book on medicinal plants
3 pair wool socks
rain gear
shelter or a guide to make shelter in all seasons
para cord 100 ft. minimum
small fishing kit
sewing kit
toilet paper (unrolled and folded flat) Not a whole roll but enough for a few uses. If Birch trees are abundent in your area cancel the TP
Will think of more

You're missing a visit to the Survival Forum where they discuss this stuff in detail.

Probably one of the best BOB threads in there,,,
