Bug-Out Bags

Complete Bug-Out Bag Packing List

A category-by-category packing list for building your household go-bag — with weight notes so you can stay under your target.

Bug-out bag contents laid out by category

A packing list is most useful when it tells you not just what to include but how to think about each category. Weight is the organizing principle for any bag you might carry.

This list is organized by category with weight targets for each — so you can build a bag that's comprehensive enough to be useful and light enough to actually carry.
