The Family Bug Out Bag

The Family Bug Out Bag:

This is the big, food storage kit for your entire family. This is when you have to get out of the house, take the car, and go. This kit is in addition to each members BOB, 72 hour kit, etc. Many of these things can be used for camping as well. Do not forget to grab your Emergency Binder. This is your BOB on steroids and to a much larger effect.



Get a rolling 40 gallon bin to store a one week family food storage, emergency supply to easily throw in a car. Also you may want to invest in a hand trolley so this bin could be easily moved, put the trolley next to the bin kit at all times so you remember to take it.
