Bug-Out Bag

A Bug-Out Bag is a pre-packed kit (minus food and water until time of departure) that you can grab on your way out the door in the case of an emergency. It is basically a small self contained survival kit. Ideally the contents would allow you to leave the area and travel in relative health if the situation demanded. It is assumed that you will be dressed properly before you leave depending on your climate and weather conditions. Don't forget to pack the food listed below before you leave.
