Advanced Survival Guide.com Bug-out bag Off-the-shelf Red Cross preparedness kit . A bug-out bag[1][2] is a portable kit that contains the items one would require to survive for seventy-two hours[3][4] when evacuating from a disaster. The focus is on evacuation, rather than long-term survival, distinguishing the bug-out bag from a survival kit, a boating or aviation emergency kit, or a fixed-site disaster supplies kit. The term "bug-out bag" is related to, and possibly derived from, the "bail-out bag" emergency kit many military aviators carry. Other names for such a bag are a BOB,[7] 72-hour kit,[8] a grab bag,[9] a battle box, a Personal Emergency Relocation Kits (PERK), a go bag or a GOOD bag (Get Out Of Dodge) INCHbag (I'm Never Coming Home).[10] Rationale[edit] In addition to allowing one to survive a disaster evacuation, a bug-out bag may also be used when sheltering in place as a response to emergencies such as house fires, blackouts, tornadoes, and other severe natural disasters.

Aus Survivalist Physical Retreat Security Providing adequate defensive measures must be given priority in the planning and development of any survival retreat. The threat of incursions by refugees and/or armed gangs is real and prudence requires that efforts are applied to minimize their potential for harm. In this paper an ‘event’ is any disaster, natural or man-made, in which there has been a complete national (and international) breakdown in society, law and order. The approach I have chose is based on the ‘onion theory’ in that there are several ‘layers’ of defence which must each be overcome for an invader to reach the ‘core’ of your retreat. The suggestions are based on three central ideas: camouflage, misdirection and practicality. Dirt: The outermost layer is termed the dirt, the reason should be clear after reading the description. Layer 1: This is the first layer of defence and begins at your gate. Layer 2: The second layer of defence begins just inside your gate.
