Every person should have a bug out bag in their home. Just as we should all have a fire extinguisher, smoke detectors, an emergency contact list, and a first aid kit for safety reasons, we should all also have a bug out bag. Whether you are a seasoned survivalist who makes disaster preparation a priority or just an ordinary person who doesn't give disaster preparation much thought, having a high quality and well-assembled bug out bag or disaster kit ready to go is just common sense. What is a bug out bag? A bug out bag is a backpack of survival items that you would grab and take with you should you ever need to evacuate your home. If a devastating natural disaster such as a hurricane or a wildfire strikes and the authorities order you to leave for your safety, you will have to depend on the items within your bug out bag for you and your family's survival. Equally as imperative as the items within your bug out bag is the backpack that will serve as the bug out bag itself. Just as you don't want low quality survival items, you also don't want a low quality backpack, do you? This book will talk about both of these topics in great detail: a set of guidelines on how to choose a high quality bug out bag (and a list and description of the best makes and models of bug out bags that money can buy without spending a fortune), and a comprehensive list of the items you need to have in it (and how to pack those items to maximize space). Remember, bug out bags are not for preppers only. They are for everyone. After you choose a bug out bag and fill it up with the items you need, you can just set your bug out bag in the closet and forget about it until the time comes to use it. Just don't completely forget about it because you must remember to grab it if you are ever forced to evacuate. In this guidebook, we will cover the following topics in detail: How To Choose The Best Bug Out Bag (Qualities To Look For) Where Should You Keep Your Bug Out Bag? The Most Important Items To Keep In Your Bug Out Bag How To Pack Your Bug Out Bag For Optimum Performance The Best Models of Bug Out Bags On The Market (Buyer's Guide) After you have read this book, you will have greatly increased your knowledge by learning about the qualities your bug out bag needs to have, the exact items you need to have in your bug out bag, the best models of bug out bags in existence, and how to properly pack and store your bug out bag. You are responsible for your and your family's well-being in the event of a major disaster. This is why having a high quality bug out bag is so important. Whether you have a quality bug out bag or not can literally mean the difference between life and death should a major disaster ever occur.
