How to Build a Bug out Bag for Perfect Balance

Here are all the things you need to build your perfect bug-out bag with the best gear linked right by it. Other blogs have had similar lists, but this is the proper list from my experience.

Here is exactly what you should have as a bare essential. With our recommended gear, this should not take up that much space in your bag if packed properly and should weigh about 22.5 pounds. However, if your gear does not fit the recommended gear linked below, it may be slightly higher or lower.
