Putting Together a Bug Out Bag (72 Hour Kit, aka the BOB) Presented by Jack Spirko Modern Survivalism What It Is, What It Isn’t It Is Not This It Is More Like This The Bug Out Bag – What Is It The Bug Out Bag is also known as the 72 Hour Kit. It is designed to support an individual for a minimum period of 3 days as far as basic comfort, sanitation and consumption needs. The Bug Out Bag – What It Is Not The Bug Out Bag is NOT a combat pack designed to support you for an indefinite period of time while you fight a Red Dawn style war. It also can NOT provide you with everything you want or the ability to live like you are still in your air-conditioned living room, drinking a cold beer and playing Nintendo Wii. Nor do I consider it a “wilderness survival kit”. The Bug Out Bag – Why You Need One Put simply you need a bug out bag because some times things simply do not go the way we have them planned. Some Reasons You Might Have to Bug Out If you have seen it once you will probably see it again. • Forest Fires • Flooding • Earthquakes • Nuclear Accidents • Hurricanes • Hazardous Material Release • Riots • Volcanic Activity • Ice Storms • Terrorist Activity • Pandemic • Landslides • Tsunamis • Long Term Black Outs Please Understand – If you are given an evacuation order and ignore it you are considered “own your own” by authorities. The Bug Out Bag – What Makes a Good Bag • Rugged • Modular (nice to have) • Hands Free Carry • Able to Lash Items to It • Does Not Exceed Carrying Capacity The Core • Built on Dave Canterbury's 5 C’s of Survivability • Cutting Tool • Cordage • Combustion – (sure fire) • Container – (must be steel) • Cover The Basics • Clothing (for 3 days, not like a vacation!) • Food • Water (ability to purify water, you can’t carry enough) • Wet Weather Clothing (can save your life) • Duct Tape (if you can’t fix it with duct tape you can’t fix it in the field) • A Good Flash Light And Batteries • Radio – (solar/crank is fine but it better take batteries too) • Sanitation Kit and a FAK – First Aid Kit, Medicines, Etc. • Wool Blanket • Bags – 2-4 Contractor Bags and 4 Zip Lock Gallon Bags • Self Defense - At least one “non lethal option” • Maps Specific Items and Recommendations • Food – Pack anything you like that stores well and is easy to prepare but Mountain House, etc. is hard to beat. • Water – Filters are great but boiling is the only guarantee and you only have to boil water for ZERO seconds. • Also carry as much water as you can, you can’t be guaranteed to find a source to purify.
