How to Build the Perfect Bug Out Bag<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

It is a pretty good light overview of what could ultimately be the most important part of all the prepping you do. However, I’ve not yet come across an awesome resource on this topic. By awesome I mean one that tells you exactly what configurations suit which bag sizes. Otherwise all we get is lists of good stuff to take with you, but you can’t fit it all in your bag…<\/p>\n

Here’s a brief excerpt from the free book:<\/p>\n

LifeStraw is awesome advice. Unfortunately the advice about water to carry is dodging what (for me) is the #1 go bag\u00a0dilemma\u00a0– how much water do you take with you?<\/p>\n

The standard advice is that an adult needs 1.5 – 2.0 litres per day. You might be able to get by with less, but you might also need water for purposes other than your thirst. That could be giving someone else a drink, or perhaps cleaning a wound. Now, most go bags are designed for 3 days of survival, so ideally you would want to carry 6 litres of water, and that would take up most of the space in a small backpack, as well as weighing 6 kilos. According to the 3-3-3 rule, you can last 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. Water should be your #1 consideration! And it needs to be addressed in depth.<\/p>\n
