Your Bug-Out Bag Won’t Save You — But There’s An Easy Fix
It seems like everyone is talking bug-out bags these days. You can find countless articles online which talk about what you should include in a well-stocked bug-out bag, as well as a number of companies who are offering already filled bug-out bags for sale. These range anywhere from the most basic of bags, with not much more than food, water and a first-aid kit, to elaborate bug-out bags which contain an excellent assortment of quality survival equipment.
The truth of the matter is that there is no one perfect bug-out bag. Having a bag full of equipment you don’t know how to use isn’t going to do a thing to protect your life. A lot depends upon how much knowledge you have to go with that bug-out bag and a lot depends upon where you are going to bug-out to.
Most bug-out bags share one common fault; they’re designed to help you survive three days, nothing more. That means that on the fourth day, when your supplies start running out, you’re going to start going hungry.
Considering that most bug-out situations last more than three days, the whole concept of a bug-out bag is rather limited. It might get you to the next city down the road, but that’s about it.
