Hey guys,
I made a rough list of bug-out bag items that I am going to refine and get some input on...anything with parentheses means I need suggestions, and I definitely need nutrition and 1st aid suggestions. I'm in a bit of a rush so I'm keeping this brief, but if this goes anything like my "pocket survival kit" thread it ought to end up being a wealth of info...rather than just listing items randomly, I categorized. There is obviously some redundancy between categories but that's a good thing.
Please, please, let me know what you think
