Thinking of putting together a Bug Out Bag.

Post by WLJ » Mon Nov 06, 2017 5:38 pm

I know I'm late to the game here but any suggestions on what to put in it that don't break the bank?
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Hit harbor freight and big lots/dollar store. That’s more than half of the items you’ll need for under $20.

Wet wipes, alcohol swabs, toothbrush, sewing kit and there are a lot of little things that can fit in front zippers that don't take up much room. Hell, even a flask of pure grain could come in handy.
