Anyone have a "bug out" or "bail out" bag?

Nice list, USAF385. So... why do you know condoms can be used as water bladders?

They also make good barrel (rifle-get yur mind outa the gutter! hahaha) protection in bad weather. We used some in Viet Nam that way.

Be advised that flash drives can all of a sudden die, for no apparent reason. A CD will take a lot more abuse.

Water purifier, radio, batteries, light systems, medications, first aid stuff, fire starting materials, and 500 rounds of 9mm and my M92 with six magazines.

Walmart sells a pretty good little "survival kit" for about 15 bucks. Add a good multi tool, gun and ammo, food and water, a Glock entrenching tool, and a cell phone and I'm good to go.

You guys sure are going to give the marauding hordes a nifty day's worth of supplies...

Farmer17, what is this "survival kit" you speak of? Sounds like a good gift to get people started on preparing for an emergency.

I do enough camping, hunting, &tc. that much of the mentioned stuff is resident in my truck. That which isn't is contained in a few Rubbermaid containers that can be hurled into the truck in moments... Here, H2O is a significant factor --- carry some, filter more...

I don't about the Walmart kit, but Adventure Medical Kits sells a pocket pack (designed by Doug Ritter) as well as a couple of other small kits that run 30 bucks or so.

If you're looking for something to give to family members or others as a basic starting point, you might also want to look into the BestGlide 24 hr packs. They're about the size of an MRE, but full of goodies. If you need a bunch, let me know, I might be able to get you a discount.

It's a very rudimentary kit with the camping items and has a poncho, whistle, bandages, brass wire, candle, firestarter,
compass, whistle, solar blanket, safety pins, golf pencil, and several other things. Some of the stuff is a bit "cheezy" but you can't expect much for the price and I doubt if you could buy similar items individually for any less money.

Very good idea to have an emergency bag at the ready. I posted about an "at the ready belt".A lot of good responses and a few jerk -o ones. I think that I will use some of these posts and get a Bug Out bag ready for my household. Good post.
