You never know when you may have just taken and elope. Every survival knows that the key to survival is preparation. And one of the most important things that you can do to prepare is to have a bug-out bag filled with items most important to survival. In this article, I will share with you the 12 most important articles that recommend that bring bug-out bag:
1. first, a map of the surrounding area. And I'm talking about a real map, not a GPS, not a phone with GPS, the real thing. If SHTF, you're not going to be able to rely on electronics; you're going to need to be able to read a map to know where you are and where you're going!
2. in addition to a map, you will want a good compass. I actually would like to suggest a compass watch less to carry and serves 2 purposes. Most of us can get a sense of direction using the Sun and stars, but having and using a compass is a much more accurate way to navigate.
3. are some of strike-anywhere matches in a waterproof container or some good quality lighters. Fire is also important for the man now as it was 10,000 years ago. And Yes, you can start a fire without modern means, but why? If all you need is a waterproof container with matches inside it or a lighter, don't make it harder on yourself!
4. a Swiss army knife! A utility knife, scissors, screwdriver, can opener, etc., will be extremely useful. And of course, the blade can be used as a weapon if necessary. However, it is more likely to be used in food preparation. Try to find a good quality Swiss army knife, which is compact and durable.
5. A waterproof flashlight with extra batteries and an extra bulb. The batteries and the bulb you want to keep in a zip-lock bag to ensure that remain dry. We hope that you will not need to use the flashlight, very often, but there may be times when you need it.
6. A first aid Kit is an absolute must. Keep your fingers crossed that you'll never use it, but it's good to have just in case. Of course, there are some essentials that you will want to kit (antiseptic spray or ointment, gauze, ACE bandage, adhesive, relief of pain), but once you have the basics, the rest is up to you. We recommend that you include sunblock, insect spray, a suture, surgical tape, etc.
7. a good pair of sunglasses or even a pair of ski/snow goggles will benefit. Depending on where you are in the world, the Sun can be extremely brilliant and blinding. Not only your sunglasses or goggles to protect your eyes from the Sun, but they also protect them by trying to see through rain, wind, or snow can be difficult.
8. Log/fire bricks. You want to have a handful of these for those times when it may be too windy or wet to start a fire with kindling and a match or lighter. Once again, the fire is important, and why we have modern, affordable ways to start a fire, use those ways! Don't make it harder on yourself that you need!
9. Okay, this is going to seem silly, but when you really think about it, it's like DUH! Toilet paper! Yes, says, toilet paper. Trust me, you'll be happy he brought. Leaves will work in a pinch, but it just is so much nicer to be able to pull off the white, fluffy stuff!
10. now for the stuff-extra clothing of course. What kind of clothes will depend on where you are and where you're going. Waterproof Gear, thermal underwear, extra socks, gloves and a thermal coating are usually standard. Keep in mind when that climate may change drastically, especially at night, so be prepared.
11. and the other apparent supply-plenty of food and water. A couple of water bottles and some water purification tablets are a good idea. Tour, trail-mix, canned tuna, canned beans and some sort of heavy, dense bread are items that I recommend. Obviously, this food and water won't last long, so one of the most important things to look for once, SHTF and you need to escape is a good source of water and food.
12. and the last thing you recommend that people always seem to overlook? A good quality bag to carry all this stuff! Do not skimp out! Can you imagine carrying all this stuff on the back, only to have a broken belt or tear Fund? This bag is the home of all your survival gear. Would be fully furnish the Interior of a hut with expensive items? No! You want to keep your expensive items in a safe house that elements to withstand and protect your items. Well, it's the same thing with the bug-out bag. You must protect your survival articles-you may end up being everything you have.

My number one goal is growing my food. I don't think that really counts as a hobby. For some people, but for me, my own fruit and vegetable growing and saving my seed is the key to survival. The only person you can rely on yourself, if you ask me. The Government is trying to "help" us all with GMOS and well-being, but it's all a crock. We need to know how to survive alone.
