An appropriate first aid kit should be one of the first things ticked off your bug out bag list!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>Communication \u2013 To get the news<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n![\"Eton](\"https:\/\/knowledgeweighsnothing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Eton-Microlink-Radio-575x600.jpg\")
Et\u00f3n FR160B Microlink Self-Powered AM\/FM\/NOAA Weather Radio with Flashlight, Solar Power and Cell Phone Charger<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nEnsuring that you can stay in the loop, even when you may be decidedly away from civilization and all its creature comforts, is vital for knowing what\u2019s happening and where potential help may be sought (as well as being aware of impending danger). Once more, this is another item where a backup comes in handy, and you should also consider a self-powered form of communication to avoid a situation where battery power runs out.<\/p>\n
In addition to your radio, you\u2019ll also need a method of communicating from afar and attracting the attention of others, for which a signalling mirror is essential.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Clothing \u2013 You\u2019re the most basic form of shelter<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nAs the most basic form of shelter, your clothing serves as your first protection from the elements, with your footwear literally being the difference between travelling with a firm footing, and potentially slipping, tripping or being unable to scour certain terrains.<\/p>\n
Clothing is, however, incredibly personalised and a Bug Out Bag itinerary for clothing items will differ drastically from person to person, taking into account varying body types, tolerances levels, fitness levels and preferences. As a generic starting consideration, however, you must take into account your climate, location and surrounding terrains, being sure to evaluate your clothing contents every six months as the seasons change.<\/p>\n
\n- Spare pair of socks\/underwear.<\/li>\n
- Waterproof jacket, trousers and gloves.<\/li>\n
- Also, make sure you are wearing good quality appropriate boots and clothing, to begin with, if possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Hunting\/Fishing \u2013 Sourcing renewable food<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nAs mentioned at the start of this guide, whilst the focus of the average Bug Out Bag is upon survival in the immediate 72-hour window of a disaster aftermath, it\u2019s prudent to pack for as many situations as possible.<\/p>\n
With this in mind, including the following items within your Bug out Bag can help you to seek your own food from the wilderness (in addition to making considered choices for your weaponry, which can allow you to hunt successfully on land).<\/p>\n
\n- Daiwa Mini System Minispin Ultralight Spinning Reel and Rod Combo in Hard Carry Case<\/li>\n
- Gillnet (for fishing)<\/li>\n
- Snare wire, although you can make a snare with the inner strands of 550 paracord.<\/li>\n
- Barnett Black Widow Slingshot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Navigation \u2013 Know where you are going<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nIn addition to basic survival knowledge, without the aid of tools (such as naturally being able to figure north from south, telling the time and seeking out water sources) you should also pack for navigating the terrains that you find yourself in, safely and successfully. However, this really needn\u2019t be any more extensive than a couple of well-chosen maps and a compass.<\/p>\n
\n- Local Maps and Trail maps. Try to ensure these are the water-resistant laminated ones.<\/li>\n
- Silva Polaris 2801100 \u2013 Compass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Binoculars \u2013 See them before they see you<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nSeeking out food, water or shelter sources, and the ability to see potential dangers, are all made easy from afar and from a safe area with the right Binoculars. Here are some suggested brands, with each providing for 8x magnification within the compact and robust casing, but with the former taking up the traditional duel view and with the latter being a mono view.<\/p>\n
\n- Bushnell H2O Waterproof\/Fogproof Compact Roof Prism Binocular, 8 x 25-mm<\/li>\n
- Alpen BAK4 LE Rubber Covered Monocular<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Firearms \u2013 To keep you safe and to potentially hunt with<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nEveryone has an opinion on what is best and if, indeed a firearm is necessary. We\u2019ll let you make your own mind up. If you do decide to pack a firearm, it is vital that you learn how to actually use your firearm of choice. Get some professional tuition, and of course, only pack include a firearm in your Bug Out Bag if is legal and you meet all the restrictions and regulations in your state.<\/p>\n
