Beyond the bug out bag
Bug out bags are important, but you have to look at the bug out bag as just one aspect of the whole issue.
When our complex modern society breaks down, as it did during Katrina and other times, you have to be prepared to care for yourself.
The different "kits" you need are:
Your personal bugout bag.
Your significant others bug out bags.
My wife's bug out bag will meet her specific needs and also carry items specifically for our child.
You may be away from home when the time to bug out happens. They should not have to wait for you to come back to bug out. My plan is to bug out with both cars.. that way if my car dies or if I die, they need not want for their supplies. If my car dies, I can throw my bug out bag in her car or vice versa. I can let her go ahead of me and I can "observe and deal with issues" that might occur. I might also get stuck in a ditch or have a flat.
A car bug out bag for each car you have.
Keeping stuff in car can ruin things over time. You need a bug out bag stored in a safe environment as well as a bug out bag stored in the car. You also may be far away from home when the time to bug out happens.
A home store of survival goods
if you don't bug out or if you have to return to home after an unsuccessful bugout.
A bug out location of survival goods
You may make it there with only the clothes on your back.
A cache of supplies.
Also recommended is a supply of survival good buried at some location. If your house burns down, your bugout is unsuccessful and you return to your home with the clothes on your back you need YET ANOTHER back up plan.
The huge, huge deal about a situation that requires bugging out is redundancy. It really sucks, since your wallet hurts even to think about it, but you need supplies for each person, for every situation and every place you might end up.

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.

Cooking when the SHTF
Ok. Lights are out and it is TEOTWAWKI and it is time to cook.
Where I live everything is electric. How long will I last outside cooking up a bunch of food in my backyard where everyone can smell it? Probably not long.
I had the great idea of cooking inside my fireplace, but while talking to an expert he told me that would increase the chances of a chimney fire. All the grease gets all up in the chimney and sooner or later you have a fire all the way up your chimney. Not what you need when the fire department may not be working.
You may be able to use a dutch oven in the fireplace, but any frying, or grilling should be counted out.
Back to the bug out of the city idea.
