Today, I have something incredible to share…
A Complete Bug Out Bag Checklist
One that tells you not only WHAT to add to your pack but WHY.
Because you have to justify everything.
And you must make tough decisions because you can’t take everything.
This bug out bag list ensures you end up with the perfect bug out bag for YOU.
A go bag you can be proud of:
Before you begin filling your bag, you need a bag, right?
But using that discount duffel found in the back of your closet is NOT a good idea.
Instead, get one with the following qualities:
And if you’re not familiar with MOLLE, watch this short video:
The EVATAC™ Combat Bag is a very good pack for anyone serious about bugging out.
It’s the bag that I chose.
By the way, these compartments are waterproof to keep your gear dry.
There’s even a padded compartment that can fit a laptop or other sensitive gear.
The best news is:
At the time of writing, this bag cost a fraction of similar bags.
Interested? Check out my detailed review of The Combat Bag by EVATAC:
Once you’ve got your bug-out bag, it’s time to add gear.
Please Note: This list is intended to provide all the possible items you may want to add to your bag.
But if you add everything suggested, it will get way too heavy.
You should pick and choose the essential items that make the most sense for YOU.
For SHTF, you need three ways to purify your water sources.
Because drinking contaminated water will make you sick.
I’m talking about severe dehydration that could even kill you.
What about just carry all the water you’ll need?
Water is extremely heavy, so you’ll have to find it along the way.
That’s why you’ll need purification tools and filters…
Your choice of water bottle matters.
Get a stainless steel one and not plastic.
You can’t boil water in a plastic bottle.
And boiling is the simplest way to purify water.
Double-wall (or even triple-walled) water bottles are also bad.
They make it darn near impossible to boil water over a fire.
And boiling is your “backup” plan when bugging out.
So ONLY want single-walled stainless steel for water bottle.
These tablets treat water faster than boiling.
Thus allowing you to keep moving.
Plus, they’re lightweight, so you won’t pay much of a weight penalty.
Survival water filters remove particulates from your water, such as:
I recommend getting a couple Sawyer mini water filters.
Not only are they compact and lightweight, but they can filter 100,000 gallons of water!
What makes the Sawyer Mini so powerful is its inline design capabilities.
Use it like a straw or an inline filter to remove 99.999% of harmful bacteria.
Here’s my full video review of the incredible Sawyer Mini.
This is gravity filter is ideal for cleaning larger volumes.
So it’s good for groups or family bug outs.
Use it at stops AND once your family arrives at your bug-out location.
Pack some calories.
Just a few essentials to maintain your stamina.
More than that and your bag will get too heavy!
So focus on light, easy-to-prepare foods.
Also plan to take advantage of anything the land can provide.
A few survival tools to:
Note: We’ll cover the tools later on in this list…
Any calorie-dense energy bar will do the trick.
Just read the label and pack the ones that provide the most calories per bar.
These ER Emergency Food Ration Bars pack 2400 calories per bar.
This is exactly what you want.
And you can pack quite several without adding much weight.
Plus, they have a decent shelf life (5+ years).
Freeze-dried foods are a hot meal in a pouch.
They’re another light food you can add to your checklist.
They only take a few minutes to prepare.
But they’re NOT and “on-the-go” option.
You’ll need to wait for a safe spot to rest.
Just add the contents to boiling water, stir, and eat.
I prefer Mountain House because you can cook the meal directly in the pouch (as shown in the video below):
If MRE meals are good enough for soldiers, then they are good enough for me.
I do prefer to pack freeze-dried food over MREs.
But if all I had were MREs, I’d be fine with that.
But some people think they taste horrible.
And there’s a long-standing debate about MREs.
Here’s a discussion on this hotly debated topic if you want to dig deeper.
You should avoid eating with dirty hands.
But traditional forks, spoons, knives are too bulky.
Instead, you only need small and light spork.
It doubles as a multitool!
Multi-tools are always best for survival.
A side note, you won’t need a separate small knife for cooking.
Why? Because you can use your survival knife (a separate checklist item later).
At home we use plates, but they’re heavy and cumbersome.
You want one large enough that can double as a bowl.
That way, you can boil water with it in a pinch.
Fish are an excellent source of protein…if you can snag them.
Fishing while on the move is not always the best idea.
It depends on your plan and the current circumstances…
If you do want to try choose braided fishing line.
It’s durable and can take more abuse than regular fishing line.
You won’t need much, so get the small spool.
The bottom line is:
Fishing line is a great survival tool to have in your bag.
It’s light, durable, and can catch fish or help with other survival needs.
Some ingenious ultra-small fishing poles have been invented.
This rod works well (especially for how small it is) and easily fits into a pack.
Take one with you on your next fishing trip so you get experience using it.
You can set several out, leave them, and come back later.
So you won’t waste precious time actively fishing.
You have better things to do mid-bug out than casting and reeling for hours.
I’ve covered fishing lines and poles.
But without hooks, swivels, and sinkers, you won’t catch anything.
Keep it light, you only need a small number of each.
You should remove about 2/3 of them before packing, to save weight.
It’s a personal choice to include a stove in your bag or not.
You CAN survive without it and save the weight.
It’s your call.
Another consideration is stealth.
Fires can give your position away to others, especially at night.
But a small stove, keep the fire small and hidden.
And doesn’t require you to pack any fuel!
It works with a few sticks and twigs – saving pack weight!
Watch this video to see how this stove works:
Depending on your stove, you may need a couple of fuel containers.
Eventually, they will run out.
But if you to your bug out location before they do, you win.
Setting up a few snares overnight.
Maybe you’ll get lucky and snag a squirrel or rabbits on the go.
Snare wires are lighter than traps, so they’re the right choice.
Be forewarned, though:
Nowadays, they make some powerful slingshots
It takes some practice, but can kill small game in the forest.
Stash some vitamins to maintain your overall health.
Your diet will become limited in the wilderness.
So taking a vitamin supplement will keep your mind and body strong.
Spare clothes take up A LOT of precious pack space.
And weigh more than you think.
So limit additional clothes to a couple of undergarments.
Plan on wearing the same clothes (like a pair of tactical pants) every day.
And then change your undergarments to maintain hygiene.
Remember:
Wardrobe changes are not a luxury you can afford.
So rotate a fresh pair of socks daily.
The socks I trust with my feet are smart wools.
They are thick, warm, and comfortable, even on long hikes.
Pack one pair and wear one pair.
Wash, dry, and rotate daily.
They’re designed to dry quickly.
That way, you can wash and tie them to the outside of your pack .
You need one spare set in your pack.
with just one set of clothes (the set you’ll wear every day), you’ll want a small sewing kit.
A sewing kit allows you to mend should they rip or tear on the trail.
Safety pins can keep clothes together in a pinch.
Hold a rip together until you can stitch a more permanent patch makes sense.
So they work better in tough environments.
You’ll want a set of gloves when it gets cold.
Why? Because they’re designed for people who work with their hands.
With these gloves, you can use your survival knife or a firearm without taking them off.
But it’s still wise to keep your dome covered in the cold.
Add a few warming packets to your survival pack, just in case.
Then save them for serious emergencies.,
Like just before the threat of frostbite.
You can’t afford to lose your fingers or toes to frostbite.
THAT would be game over.
Nothing drains the heat from your body (and from your soul) than hiking in drenched clothes.
It’s a miserable experience.
And dangerous.
“Generally conductive heat loss accounts for only about 2% total loss. However, with wet clothes, the loss is increased 5x.”
So pack a poncho.
Ponchos are thin and light and take up limited space.
It may cost a bit more, but it’s worth it.
Because if you’re cold and wet for long, hypothermia is coming.
Your choice of survival shelter comes down to personal preference.
Why? Because the poles and anchors are too heavy.
Instead, I use my survival skills to make a debris shelter.
With a durable waterproof tarp, you can create a warm save space.
So why carry the extra weight of poles?
This Aqua Quest tarp is made for the outdoors.
And it has tons of tie-down grommets.
See how to build a tarp shelter in under 5 minutes:
A quality hammock is another shelter option.
Add a sleeping bag to a hammock, and you’ll be warm, off the ground, and dry.
All you need is a couple of trees and some paracord.
Get one with a built-in mosquito net.
Or check out the latest hammock tent designs.
We all know what sleeping bags are, but perhaps the term “Bivy” is new.
This TACT Bivvy is an emergency survival blanket.
It’s as small and lightweight as you can get.
But will keep you warm and dry even in the worst weather.
I think EVERYONE should put one in their vehicle’s glove box.
Get one and add it to your pack.
Sleeping pad provide comfort.
They put a layer between you and the cold hard ground.
Because laying on the ground sucks the warmth and energy out of your body.
If you don’t take a pad, plan to add a layer with wilderness debris (i.e., leaves, pine straw, etc.).
Zip ties are an amazing invention.
They are as tough as hell, and allow you to create tight connections.
Some police departments use a zip ties instead of handcuffs.
They have a variety of additional survival uses too.
As far as shelters go, use them to tie branches together to create simple shelters.
In the case of shelters, it can tie branches together or attach your tarp to trees.
It can also anchor your hammock.
That’s why you should pack paracord.
Fire is your lifeblood in an emergency.
That’s why you need 3 independent ways to start one.
Get 3 unique fire-starting tools and practice with them.
And if you really want up your survival game, learn how to start a fire with sticks.
It takes practice but it’s a powerful skill to master!
Regular matches are not good enough.
If regular matches get wet, forget about a fire.
And can relight after being dunked in water.
A Ferro Rod works great IF you know what you’re doing.
Start with very fine, very dry tinder to get the sparks to ignite.
This robust UCO Ferro Rod is capable of 20,000 strikes.
AND produces 5,400°F (3,000°C) sparks.
So it works even when wet.
Because of its utility and size, this survival tool should be in EVERYONE’S go bag.
A lighter is a lighter right? FALSE.
So it’s worth a few dollars on better lighter technology:
Like Tesla’s Rechargeable Coil Lighter.
So you’ll never run out.
It uses electricity to create an arc that’s windproof and waterproof.
It charges via a USB port.
So with a solar charger or a hand crank radio you can make your own “fuel.”
You CAN find natural tinder in the wilderness.
However, it’s always smart to prepare for the worst.
So pre-pack some fire-starting tabs.
Cotton balls dipped in petroleum jelly will work as well.
Add a dab of Vaseline to some cotton balls, which ignite quickly and easily.
You can use magnification to focus light.
This light can be harnessed to make a fire.
A Fresnel Lens will work if you run out of butane or matches.
Super lightweight solar fire starter? Sign me up!
Stash all your fire-starting tools into an O-ring-sealed container.
This container keeps your fire-starting tools dry.
Even in a downpour or if you fall into a river with your pack.
In the elements, there’s an increased chance of illness or injury.
Remember:
A minor cut can kill if not properly treated.
Now before we go through each individual supply:
I recommend you get a MyMedic Advanced Solo Kit.
It’s the best compact medical kit I’ve ever come across.
It’s perfectly designed bugging out.
But this kit IS NOT just a bunch of cheap medical supplies.
So you can easily check off all your medical supplies with one purchase.
Much faster and easier than buying each individually.
Note: Choose a pouch color that blends in with your bag and environment.
For bugging out you want to avoid the bright red pouch.
NOTE: The MyFAK (First Aid Kit) option includes even more lifesaving medical gear and supplies.
But it also weighs a few more pounds (1 lb. vs. 2.8 lbs.)
If you take prescribed medications, add them.
Gauze dresses bad cuts or severe burns.
It’s light and takes up very little space.
This stuff is made to keep gauze, pads, and bandages in place while on the move.
Band-aids are the best solution for small cuts and lacerations.
They keep open wounds clean and protected.
This prevent an infection.
You should also add a few moleskin pads for blisters.
Band-aids won’t stay in place while walking.
But moleskin will.
For minor aches and pains, these can keep you going.
Painkillers will take the edge off of serious injuries until you can get more help.
Nasty, deep wounds struggle to clot on their own.
You must apply intense pressure to the wound site for a long time.
Only then the flow will slow, congeal, and begin the healing process.
These Quick Clot Sponges help with this life-or-death effort.
Super glue seal up small cuts.
Plus, it comes in handy for numerous survival uses.
I’m aware this is the second time Vaseline made this list.
But it works as a fire starter and an ointment.
Apply this stuff to your chapped skin or lips to prevent cracking.
When SHTF, access to lifesaving antibiotics will become severely limited (if available at all).
So stock up on bird or fish antibiotics and throw them in your go bag, just in case.
They kill infection-causing bacteria.
Same idea as the alcohol pads; use them to keep wounds clean and bacteria-free.
Use Q-tips to clean your ears.
Excess ear wax can lead to infection.
And muffles your hearing.
And clear hearing is an advantage in survival.
They are also ideal to apply medical salves and liquids.
Lastly, you can tear off the ends and use them as tinder.
Plus, they’re extremely light and useful.
So feel free to pack a couple hundred.
Pack a sharp set of tweezers to get slivers out.
And a good set of nail clippers to trim your nails.
Mosquitos are a nuisance and can transmit diseases.
You should only pack a small bottle of this.
So you’ll need to ration it.
A hat, long sleeves, and pants go a long way to prevent sunburn.
Get one with an SPF30, like this one.
If you enjoy daily hot showers, get ready for an abrupt change.
You’ll only get basic sanitation when on the run.
Add a small roll of toilet paper for doing your business.
They are a good lightweight hygiene solution on the go.
It’s no shower, but it’s better than nothing.
Oral hygiene is important to prevent all sorts of tooth problems.
Dental work will be rare after TEOTWAWKI.
So it’s worth preventing painful tooth problems in the long run.
Because they don’t take up much space.
Some mini toothbrushes come with a dab of paste built-in.
But you’ll want to use them more than once.
Ration it to the extreme.
You don’t know how long it will be before you can restock.
But try to use a little each day.
While moist towelettes can replace your daily shower, you’ll want some sportsman soap for the occasional river bath.
Again, ration this stuff to the extreme unless you pack a lot of it.
But it will get heavy and take up space if you do.
Everyone should add a few of these to their packs since there are 13 excellent survival uses for tampons.
Use a small bottle of hand sanitizer to clean your hands before eating.
Try to avoid ingesting bacteria after tromping through the wilderness all day.
The bandana is another multi-category item due to its extreme usefulness.
For personal hygiene, use it to wipe and clean.
You can also use it as a makeshift dust mask.
OR even better, you can wear a cloth face shield like this one by American Gunner.
This cloth face shield provides the following:
These are traditional survival tools that didn’t fit into our other checklist categories.
However, they are essential to success.
Navigation is critical.
Getting lost is dangerous.
Everyone should own a high-quality compass and learn how to use it.
Knowing where you are is the best way to reach your final destination.
Learn how to use a compass (and keep it with you), and you’ll never get lost again.
GPS devices run on batteries, so you can’t rely on them in a bug out situation.
If you’ve buried some survival caches along your bug out route, then need a compact shovel to dig them up.
You can also improve a shelter by clearing and leveling the ground.
A tactical shovel allows you to complete even more survival tasks such as:
This one does all that (and more) …
I can’t stress how important investing in a high-quality survival knife is.
Don’t be foolish and use a credit card knife for a bug out!
Spend some time researching good survival knives.
Find one that best meets your needs.
Because a good survival knife has many critical survival uses.
Then once you’ve settled on “the one,” make sure you learn how to use it in the wild.
Don’t forget to add a small survival knife sharpener to keep your knife sharp.
NO serious survivalist would ever allow their survival knife to become dull and useless.
A survival multi-tool is another key survival tool to pack.
The pliers are the biggest difference between a multi-tool vs survival knife.
These survival pliers allow you to perform many functions that would be impossible with a knife alone.
From flashlights to GPS units to cell phones, technology may be in your emergency kit.
AND they’re all worthless without electricity!
So add a solar charger and battery pack if you depend on those items.
I like the Anytime Charge Solar Power Bank.
Why? Because it’s one of the most durable, compact, and cost-effective portable solar chargers on the market today.
But don’t let its compact size fool you.
The battery storage is enough to charge any of your devices multiple times over.
Plus, with dual charging outputs, you can power multiple devices simultaneously!
Simply plug in your devices via the supplied USB cable (you can use any USB cable) and press the power button.
Your device will begin to take power from the Anytime Charge right away.
Leave it in the sun, and it will automatically fill the large battery bank back up ANYWHERE.
Plus, it’s splash resistant and comes with an emergency flashlight with a strobe function.
Survival hatchets are awesome.
They allow you to accomplish tasks quickly that using your survival knife alone would take hours.
A good survival hatchet makes batoning branches for firewood a breeze.
It makes chopping down trees a whole lot faster too.
Plus, these survival tasks are hard on your survival knife.
But a hatchet handles with ease.
If you forgo adding a survival hatchet, you add a wire chainsaw.
This wire saw cuts down small trees to help build shelters!
Watch the video below to see how to turn a clunky wire saw into an efficient cutting machine:
Illumination is necessary for survival.
You’ll need good light to work under the darkness of night.
And if forced to move in the middle of the night, you’ll need it to see where you’re going.
I can’t imagine bugging out without illumination devices.
Attempting to do so would be stupid.
Two words: Hands-Free.
And with the rechargeable batteries, you’ll need a way to recharge them.
That’s where a portable solar charger comes in handy (item #69 in this checklist) to keep your LED headlamp batteries charged up.
While a headlamp is important, you should also carry an LED Tactical Flashlight.
You have more control with a handheld LED flashlight.
And can shine it in multiple directions without having to turn your head.
I prefer using a Tactical flashlight if I’m not using my hands to accomplish a task.
Glow sticks work great to light up an entire area, not just a particular spot.
Which can be very helpful in a campsite.
However, they can give away your position to potential threats.
So only use these if you know you’re in a secluded area.
Or use a solar lantern you can turn on and off when you’re not in a secure area.
Gathering information and sharing information during a bug out situation is critical for success.
Whether it’s a severe weather forecast or knowing the location of potential threats…
The more you know, the more you can plan and adapt on the go.
If you’re in a small coalition, you’ll want to communicate with each other over short distances.
Useful if you get separated or planning an ambush.
You’ll want regular updates on how the “situation” is progressing.
This helps to decide your next move.
Providing confidence, you’re heading away from danger (and not into it).
The big advantage of a hand-cranked radio is that you won’t need to worry about batteries.
Plus, you can use the hand crank function to charge other small electronic devices.
Bugging out and then having no way to get intel is flying blind.
Here’s a video review of a similar hand crank radio from Jason (Skilled Survival’s gear expert):
Packing a set of walkie-talkies is a smart idea for a small team.
If your team gets separated, you’ll still be able to keep in touch at short distances.
Yet, if you take your smartphone with all its apps and information, get a hard protective case for it.
I have an otter box case that protects it from abuse.
Recharge your phone using a solar charger or your hand-crank radio.
If you’re bugging out, you’re not interested in being rescued.
Odds are you’d rather not draw any attention your way.
However, use a small signaling mirror to communicate with your fellow companions at longer distances (instead of using walkie-talkies).
If you learn Morse Code, you can use long and short bursts of light to communicate.
Go old school with a pencil and paper.
You can leave notes or send mail (if there’s still mail service).
Both are light and small.
So find some room in your bag for them.
A loud whistle is another way to communicate with your team over long distances.
Again, it’s light and takes up very little space.
In the worst survival conditions, you’ll be the hunter (or hunted).
Prepared to defend yourself and your group from threats.
Threats from wild game.
And threats from other humans…
Which firearm is best for bugging out?
To be honest, you could write an entire survival book on the subject.
It’s a very personal choice with lots of nuances to consider.
That way, it can fit in a pack.
I also prefer a rifle to a handgun.
And as far as ammo weight goes, it makes the most sense to go with .22LR.
So with that said, you should consider one of these three .22 takedown rifle options:
Ideally, you want to carry enough ammo to avoid rationing.
But you have to watch your weight.
For example:
That’s why I’m packing 22LR and adding a good takedown rifle.
You could also cache ammo on your bug out route.
This can help you research this important issue further…
You could stash a Taser as an alternative to using a firearm for self-defense.
Remember:
There’s no such thing as a fair fight when SHTF.
You might not start a fight, but be prepared to end one.
Here are just a few of the significant advantages of a takedown survival bow or crossbow:
Here’s a good review video on one of the best survival bows (the Samick Sage Takedown Bow):
Earlier this year, I read an interesting news article.
It was about a man hospitalized after eating one Carolina Reaper.
It is said to be the hottest chili pepper known to man.
It’s been rated at around 2,000,000 Scoville Heat Units!
This pepper causes intense dry heaves, blinding headaches, and some near-stroke symptoms.
But what if the “pepper” in a pepper spray was that powerful?
FOX Labs is measured at 5,300,000 SHU – an astounding 265% hotter than the Carolina Reaper!
It can spray this blinding defense up to 17 to 20 feet.
FOX Labs Pepper Spray is used by Police, Law Enforcement, Security, and Military agencies worldwide.
Finally, these are the random survival tools and supplies that will make your bug out a little bit easier.
To effectively utilize your bag’s MOLLE system, you need a good set of carabineers.
Clip them to your bag’s MOLLE and hang gear from your pack.
This system helps to add a lot of “extra” gear to the outside of your pack.
And saves space inside your bag for other supplies.
If you only want to hang gear, you can get cheap carabiners.
Theses are NOT for climbing or lifting objects.
If you need that, invest a few more dollars and get ones made for that.
Add a couple of sets of these rechargeable batteries.
Pair these up with your portable solar charger.
Then you’ll be able to keep your batteries charged from anywhere.
It’s anyone’s guess what currency will be in circulation after SHTF.
But it’s always good to have some precious metal (silver and gold) for trading, purchasing, or bartering.
A set of survival playing cards can help keep spirits high.
Prepare for extreme sun and snow glare with a pair of tactical sunglasses.
If you’ve ever experienced a case of snow blindness, you know how important a pair of shades can be.
Get a pair that won’t shatter or scratch when bugging out.
And these Milspec Tactical Eyewear™ are “field-tested and ready to go out of the box.”
They come with 4 interchangeable lenses, a tough storage case, and much more.
These thin pieces of plastic will most likely end up being worthless.
But then again, they might be useful at some point when society recovers.
Credit cards are another small, light object you can add to your go bag.
As a side note, we recommend carry your credit cards in an RFID-blocking wallet in good times and bad.
Similar to credit cards, these items may or may not be useful, but they might be good to pack, just in case.
Also, like your credit cards, it’s best to carry your passport in an RFID-blocking case.
There is a lot of survival uses for duct tape.
For a list of 25 of these applications, check out The Daily Sheeple’s 25 Survival Uses For Duct Tape.
It’s a smart addition to your go-bag list.
To avoid trouble, you have to know exactly where you are and where you’re heading.
So invest in a high-quality waterproof map of your local region.
And learn how to read topo maps while you’re at it!
If you’re bugging out during a contagious disease breakout or nuclear fallout, you’ll want a gas mask.
Without one, you’d be forced to breathe contaminated air.
Check out MIRA Safety OR Parcel Distribution, as these two vendors have the Best Gas Masks on the market today.
I bought the CM-6M mask and several filters for myself.
I prefer its wide viewing angles and durable construction compared to other gas masks I reviewed.
NOTE: If you wear glasses, you’ll definitely want to add the MIRAVISION Spectacle Kit.
That way you can ensure a proper seal on your gas mask AND see clearly.
Stay hidden in the wild with these face paint sticks.
The natural color of pale skin sticks out like a sore thumb in the wild.
However, face paint will attract unwanted attention if traveling through civilization.
So only use it in environments where it makes sense.
Family photos can be useful to help track down separated loved ones.
Having an image to show strangers can help get better information on their whereabouts.
They also can help you remember loved ones which you may have lost.
Broadheads can create basic spears for hunting or self-defense.
They are lightweight, small, and ideal for gigging or spearing.
If you wear corrective lenses, add a second pair.
Store them in a hard protective case to keep them from breaking in your pack.
Trying to survive with impaired vision is a significant disadvantage.
A mosquito head net can provide relief if you are bugging out.
As we know, mosquitos are both a major annoyance and transmit diseases.
Get a survival watch that recharges itself using solar power.
While there are some tactical watches worth every penny.
Find some pack space for a small roll.
The stuff stretches and sticks; there’s really nothing quite like it.
If your bug-out plan includes elevation changes, add a good pair of anti-shock trekking poles.
They help relieve stress from your legs and knees.
Perhaps you’re overwhelmed at the idea of building your own BOB.
I get it, it IS overwhelming if this is all new to you.
