What is a Bug Out Bag?
Or some times called a Bob. A Bug Out Bag is any Kind of Bag or Backpack that is pre packed for emergencies.
It is your Survival Kit. Should you be forced to evacuate with very little warning or on foot due to an emergency situation. The Bob is essentially what you live out of during the evacuation or untill relief services are available
Do I need one? Are you in a utopia with absolutely no severe weather, no earth quakes, no Fires, no floods, no crime, no terrorism, no Hazardous Material spills, and no meteor strikes.
I doubt it. Therefore you need a Bob.
