How To Make A School-Friendly Bug-Out Bag For Kids
Disasters and crisis situations, by nature, have a habit of occurring at the most inconvenient times. For parents, this means that the kids may very well be at school or elsewhere when the world turns upside down. For those of us in the Missouri Ozarks, the Joplin Tornado is a very fresh memory. If an event of this magnitude were to occur during school hours, you could be separated from your children for some time, leaving them in the care of school and other officials until you can get to them.
It is a simple truth that all the preps in the world are of no use sitting at home if you can’t get to them. For that reason many preppers have a small assortment of EDC (every day carry) gear on their person at all times and a get-home bag stashed in the car.
It only makes sense that we make sure our kids are similarly equipped when they are away from us. Schools, however, frown on some of the items that we might see as essential in a survival situation, so we may have to make some compromises when packing out our kid’s gear. Space and weight are also considerations, as book bags are full enough these days without the added weight of survival gear.
