As I promised I have a list of what my Husband and I have in our bug out bag. Our BOB got too full so recently I divided the contents into two back packs. I put equal amounts of food and water in each bag. Following is a list of items we have in our bags at this time. I hope this list gives you some idea of what you can include in your BOB. Keep in mind that we live in Florida so our items are geared toward our weather. You may have to include items for cold weather if you are in the northern part of the Country.

If you take daily medication place a note on the outside of your BOB reminding you to take your medications with you before leaving home.
These bags are designed so that you and your family can quickly grab a bag in the event of an emergency and evacuate if needed. Since your bags are prepared ahead of time with food and water for the size of your family you can be confident that you have planned for survival.
Thank you for visiting the survival zone.
Col. 3: 15 let the peace of God rule in your hearts.
