Bug-Out-Bag Archives - When The Fires Burn

Category Bug-Out-Bag

The Bug-Out-Bag or BOB is a self-contained 72 hour survival bag to enable you to ‘bug-out’ of your location to an alternative safe place. Every BOB is different and individual to your requirements. There are some basic requirements such as food and water but everything else depends on your location, climate and situation. Posts and articles in this category will help you to see what other people have in their bug out bags and also what kind of bag to use for your BOB.

Wherever possible, I try to make the posts as relevant to UK prepping as possible, so you won’t find any information or recommendations about firearms and ammunition (unless it forms part of an otherwise very useful video for example) as it simply has no use for us here in the UK.
