"Survival Doc" of TheNewSurvivalist.com web site discusses "bugging out," or fleeing your home after a disaster; why you should stay at home if at all possible; and how to prepare a portable 72-hour kit, or "bug out bag," in case you are ever forced to leave. He demonstrates by showing the contents of his own bug out bag.

I thought you could have used a hat and gloves and warmer coat.

@highdefinitiondiva I am not going to be bugging out butt naked. I am assuming that when I bug out I will be able to put on some clothes appropriate for the current conditions.

That is a horrible kit sir. No cordage, no shelter (tarp), no fire. The canned foods are a waste if space and there's a better way for the water storage. The clothing should already be on your body, therefore that is taking up space in your kit. Stay tuned and I will show you my kit when I post my video .

@Tappedurassout That's a very old video made when you were probably in diapers. I have a new bug out bag now. I plan to do an updated video soon.

No knives?

[thenewsurvivalist]

@RogueReplicant Yes, knives. There was one in there, but my main knife is always in my pocket, not my bug out bag.

The color is too noticable. Orange is going to catch eyes, and you can't hide with it.

Nice job. I just purchased a external frame pack about the same size for my bob. I was at a loss for gear arrangement through out the bag. I have my load out set up almost identical. I also have ammo, bowie blade and firearm.Shove, sleeping bag, small tent and dog food. My load out is for a disaster situation. I was stuck on a mountain for 3 days due to a dam a few miles up the road. Excessive rain during hurricane Irene.

hey doc, on the subject of bug out bags and your profession, do you have any advice for someone who has a bad back but wishes to carry a bug out bag. i have chosen the british infantry bergen 100ltr, it has an internal frame and can be made to sit on the waist to take the pressure off my back but even a small bag makes my mid back ache and i get sharp stabbing pains around the lower back and feel winded,this can come on very abruptly just carrying a load of around 10lbs on some occasions.
