actual bug out bag updated

the only way to have a good current bug out bag is to go thru it several times a year and do a complete inventory and re-think of everything.

Here is me taking my own advice. (I give such good advice so I very seldom take it)

Here is my own personal bug out bag.

Note:
My bug out bag is super heavy and I would also be carrying a rifle and ammo.. so the idea of the bugout bags is that they really go into the car for bugging out of the city. If things get really bad and we need to leave the cars then we can put them on our backs and walk for a short time. I don't think I could walk far with my super heavy pack nor could my wife. But then again after you start eating and drinking it gets lighter and you can always ditch things.
