This is Skilled Survival's Ultimate 104 Item Bug Out BagChecklist. A free bug out bag checklist that not only tellsyou what to add to your pack but why.A Quality Bug Out BagBefore you begin filling your bug out bag with all yoursurvival gear and supplies, you need a high-quality bugout bag.Starting your bug out bag build with a crappy pack is aterrible idea so make certain you get one with the followingqualities: Made with thick, tough fabrics Includes a MOLLE system Has padded hip support straps Water resistant or includes a shell High quality no jamb zippers Includes a lot of pockets andcompartments1 – Bug Out BagThe 511 Tactical is a badass bug outbag and an ideal pack for anyoneserious about putting together a legitbug out bag.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

Once you've got your bug out bag, it's time start buildingyour bag with survival gear.Note: This bug out bag checklist is intended to provide youall the possible items you may want to add to your bag.However, if you added everything suggested from this bugout bag checklist into your bag it’s going to get way tooheavy.You should pick and choose the gear and supplies thatmake the most sense to meet your needs.Water and HydrationFor SHTF, you're going to want at least three separateways to your water sources. Drinking contaminated watercan make you severely sick and can even kill you.Why not just carry all the water you'll need? Not an option,water is extremely heavy so you'll have to find it along theway.That's why you'll need key purification tools to filter andtreat the water you find.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

2 – Stainless Steel Water BottleYour choice of water bottle matters. It'simportant to get a water bottle made out ofstainless steel and not plastic. You can'tboil water in a plastic bottle, and boiling isthe simplest way purify the water you findto ensure its safe to consume.So fill your stainless steel bottle today with safe, cleanwater and stash it in your bug out bag. That way you canstart your bug out with a full bottle of clean water and thenrefill and boil/filter/purify as needed along your route.3 – Water Purification TabletsAn alternative method to purify water from rivers andstreams when boiling is too time-consuming is to carrysome water purification tablets.These tablets treat water faster than boiling, and theyallow you to purify on the go and keep moving. Plus theyare extremely lightweight so that you won't pay much ofa weight penalty.4 – Portable Water FilterA good water filter will remove all theparticulates from your water such asdirt or soot, but a great one will alsoCopyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

remove most harmful bacteria as well. So you should packa small portable water filter to clean your water and purifyit too.The LifeStraw is my water filter of choice since it's bothsmall and portable. It'll save you a lot of pack weight andspace compared to larger units.Get a couple of them; one for each family member.5 – Expedition Jerry Can Filtration SystemThis is not a small filter and it won't fit inside your bug outbag. However, with your MOLLE system you can hang iton the outside of your bag.The LifeSaver Expedition Jerry Can is ideal for a familybug out since the system can supply enough clean waterfor a family of 4 for nearly a year.Clip it to the outside of your bug out bag empty and use itonce your family arrives at your final bug-out location.Food Supply ItemsYou need to pack some calories. A few essential foodsources stashed in your bug out bag to keep you healthyand maintain your stamina. For can get heavy so you'llwant to focus on light, easy to prepare foods.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

But you should also try to take advantage of what the landcan provide. So make sure to pack a few survival tools tohelp hunt or gather additional foods along your bug outroute.6 – Calorie Dense Food BarsHonestly, any calorie dense energy bars will do the trick.Just read the label and look for ones that provide the mostcalories per bar.These ER Emergency Food Ration Bars pack 2400calories per bar, which is exactly what you need.These food bars will provide your primary energy needson your journey since they are easy to consume on the go,and you can pack quite a lot of them without adding muchweight.Plus they have a decently long shelf life (5 years).7 - Freeze Dried MealsFreeze dried foods are a hot meal in a pouch. Makingthem another a light food source you can add to your bugout bag. They take a few minutes to prepare so wait untilyou find a safe spot to rest. Just add the pouch contents toboiling water, stir, and eat up.I personally use and recommend Valley Food Storage’sfreeze dried foods.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

8 - Military Meals (MRE - Meals, Ready to Eat)If MRE's are good enough for soldiers, then they are goodenough for me.There is some debate about MRE's for survival. Here'san excellent discussion on this hotly debated topic if youwant to dig deeper.9 – Eating UtensilsUnless you prefer eating with dirtyhands, you'll want something smalland light to move your food frompouch to mouth.Get this awesome titanium Spork; it's both a spoon and afork. And a 2 for 1 is always a good deal in survival. Plus,it's made from light but strong titanium, so it weighs only20 grams.Now as a side note, you won't need a small knife becauseyou can use your survival knife instead (a separate listitem later).10 – Small Collapsible BowlYou'll want an easy way to keep yourprepared food contained for serving andCopyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

eating. In our homes we use plates, but they are heavyand take up a lot of space. So instead get one of thesecollapsible bowls, they are ingenious, and they work great.11 - Braided Fishing LineFish are an excellent source of protein if you can snagthem. Fishing while bugging out is not always possible,however you definitely won't catch any without somefishing line.Get braided fishing line since it’s highly durable and cantake more abuse than the regular fishing line. You won'tneed much so you can get the small spool, but you'll haveto decide what lbs. test line will work best for your needs.The bottom line is that having some fishing line is a greatsurvival tool to have in your bag. It's light, durable and canhelp you catch fish or help with other survival needs.#12 - Fishing Pole (small, collapsing, orpocket)Recently some ingenious ultra-small fishing poles havebeen invented. Small Fishing Pole Collapsing Fishing Pole Pocket Sized Fishing PoleCopyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

Any of these options will work great, and they break downto easily fit into your bug out bag.Make certain to take them with you on your next fishingtrip so you can get experience using it.13 – Yo-Yo Fishing ReelsI recently stumbled on these ingenious little devices.You can set several of these out, leave them, and thencome back to check on them later. So you won't have towaste precious time actively fishing.You'll have better things to do mid bug out than castingand reeling for hours with no guarantee of success.Better to set your fishing yo-yo's up and come back later. Ifyou catch a fish or 2, you're ahead of the game, but if youdon't, you didn't waste a ton of time.14 – Hook, Swivel, Sinker SetWe've already covered fishing line and poles but withouthooks, swivels and sinkers you're going to have a hardtime catching anything.Keep it light, since you only need a small number ofeach. This little case includes 75 pieces which you shouldremove about 2/3 of them before packing to save weight.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

15 – Portable Light Weight StoveThis piece of survival gear is a personalchoice of whether to include it in your bugout bag or not. You CAN definitelysurvive without it and save the weight.Your call.With that said, you can use it to boil water faster thanhaving to build a fire. It also makes your freeze driedpouch food preparation both easier and faster.Another consideration is stealth. A fire can give away yourposition to others, especially at night. However, with thissmall stove, you'll be able to cook your food without nearlyas much exposure.16 – Stove FuelIf you decide to pack a stove, then you'll need to purchasea couple of fuel containers to go with it.Grab a couple and try to use them as sparingly aspossible. Eventually, they will run out, but if they get youto your bug out location before they do, then you win.17 – Snare WiresSetting up snares overnight might bag you a couple ofsquirrels or rabbits on the go. Snare wires are a lighterCopyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

option than traps, so they are the right choice for your bugout bag.Be forewarned, though, they won't be of much use unlessyou know what you're doing.However, if you do learn the art of snaring, then they canbe incredibly useful when bugging out.18 – Survival SlingshotYou can learn how to use a slingshot quickly with somededicated practice.Like most survival skills, it will take some practice, but thislightweight hunting slingshot is a decent option forsourcing some protein.19 – Daily Multivitamin SupplementStash some daily vitamins to help maintain your overallheath.Your diet will become severely limited in the wilderness,so taking a daily vitamin supplement will help keep yourmind and body strong.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

Clothing and Warmth ItemsRule #1 - Only carry as much clothing as you need forsurvival.Rule #2 - Don't forget rule number 1.Spare clothes will take too much precious pack space andweight more than you think. So try to limited additionalclothes to just a couple of the main undergarments.Plan on wearing the same set of durable clothes every dayand then just change out your undergarments to maintainreasonable hygiene.Remember, if you're bugging out, it's because of a survivalevent forced you to leave, so multiple changes of clothesis not a luxury you can afford.20 – Fresh SocksWhile I just suggested you compromise on your main clothitems (shirts and pants), I don't recommend the same foryour socks. Your feet are just too important during a bugCopyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

out. You can't afford to get trench foot or severe blisters.So rotate a fresh pair of socks daily.The socks I've trusted with my feet on the trail for yearsare these smart wools. They are thick, warm andcomfortable when you're walking long distances.Pack one pair and wear one pair. Wash, dry and rotatedaily.21 – Quick Drying UndergarmentsPack the quick-dry variety of undergarments so you canwash and then tie them to the outside of your pack to dry.They are designed to dry quickly, so you only need onespare set of underwear and undershirt in your pack.Rotate daily.22 - Sewing KitToo tough for a sewing kit? Get over it!Since you're only taking one main set of clothes (the setyou'll wear every day), you'll need a small light travelingsewing kit. A sewing kit allows you to mend your clothesshould they rip or tear on the trail.23 – Safety PinsCopyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

Safety pins are designed specifically to pin clothestogether. So in a pinch, having a few stashed to hold a riptogether until you can stitch a more permanent patchmakes sense.These safety pins are heavy duty so they will work betterin tough environments than regular ones.24 – Survival GlovesWhen it gets cold out, you'll needa set of warm gloves. I pack a set ofMechanix gloves because they’redesigned for people who work withtheir hands.With these gloves on your hands, you'll have enoughdexterity to use your survival knife or a firearm withouttaking them off.25 – Stocking CapIn cold weather, plan to retain as much body heat aspossible.And while it's a myth that we lose the majority of our bodyheat through our heads, it's still wise to keep your domecovered in the cold.Pack a camouflage stocking cap to avoid detection in thewild or a grey one if you must travel through a city.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

26 – Body WarmersKeep a few body warming packets stashed in your bug outbag just in case. Then save them for serious emergenciesonly, like just before the threat of frostbite.You can't afford to lose your fingers or toes to frostbite insurvival. That situation would be game over.27 – Rain Poncho with HoodNothing will drain heat from your body (and from yoursoul) than hiking in drenched clothes.It's a miserable experience, and it's very dangerous in thecold.This Princeton study shows that, "Generally conductiveheat loss accounts for only about 2% of overall loss.However, with wet clothes the loss is increased 5x."So pack a poncho. Ponchos are thin, light and take uplimited space.Get one with a hood to keep the rain off your head.Also, get one that's durable and won't tear easily in therugged wilderness. It may cost a few dollars more, but it'sworth it. Because if you're cold and wet forlong, hypothermia is coming.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

Shelter and Bedding ItemsYour choice of bug out survival shelter comes down to apersonal preference. Personally, I don't pack a fullfledged tent. The tent poles and anchors are too heavy.Instead, I use my survival skills and knowledge to make abasic survival shelter.28 – Tarp ShelterWith a simple tarp shelter and key survival skills, you cancreate a space that is as good as a traditional tent.It will 1) keep the rain off you, 2) break the wind and 3)give you a "safe" space to sleep at night. So why carry allthe extra weight of tent poles?29 – Survival HammockA hammock is another survival solution for a singlesleeper.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

Combine a good sleeping bag with a hammock and you'llbe warm, off the ground, and dry. All you need is a coupleof trees and some paracord to tie off.You might consider getting one with a mosquito net builtin.30 – Sleeping Bag and Bivy CoverWe all know what sleeping bags are, but the term "bivysack" may be new to you. Bivy sacks are a waterproofshell that fits over your sleeping bag.When bugging out, staying warm and dry is critical tosuccess. This sleeping bag will keep you warm,and this camo bivy cover will keep you dry (and hidden).31 - Sleeping PadWhile a sleeping pad provides some comfort, it's primarysurvival function is to insulation you from the cold hardground.You need something between you and the groundbecause laying directly on the ground sucks the warmthand energy out of your body.You can forgo a pad and get insulation by building a layerwith wilderness debris (i.e. leaves, pine straw, etc.) butonly if you know what you're doing.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

Avoid air-filled pads (like a mini air mattress) since theyare useless if punctured. Instead, get this light, durableoption made out of a rubber-like material.The best way to add a sleeping pad to your bug out packis to roll it up and attach it to the outside because therewon't be enough room on the inside of your bug out bag.32 - Zip TiesIf you stop to think about it, zip ties are an amazinginvention. They are tough as hell, light, and allow you tocreate tight connections. Many police departments usa thick set of zip ties instead of handcuffs.They have a large variety of additional survival uses too.As far as shelters go, use them to tie branches together tocreate simple survival shelters.33 – Paracord GrenadeParacord has so many survivaluses I could have added “paracord"to nearly every bug out checklistcategory.In the case of shelters, it can be used to tie branchestogether or to attach your tarp to trees. It can also anchoryour hammock to trees.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

Snag up one of Skilled Survival's free paracordgrenades and clip it to the outside of your bug out bag.Fire Starting Tools and GearYou need 3 independent ways to start a fire.Fire is your life blood in a survival emergency. You need itto purify water, cook food, for nighttime warmth, safety,and it's a huge morale booster.Once you have your 3 critical fire starting tools, practice soyou know how to use them.And if you really want up your survival game, learn how tostart a fire with sticks. It takes serious survival skills tostart a fire with sticks in high wind or wet conditions.34 - Waterproof Survival MatchesWaterproof matches are the real deal.Regular matches are not good enough. Ifregular matches get wet, forget abouthaving a fire.35 – FireSteel Fire StarterFireStriker’s work great if you know what you're doing. Ithelps to have a very fine, dry tinder bundle to get thesparks to ignite.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

This fire striker is fantastic and is designed with 3,000strikes, but practice with it before relying on it.36 – Windproof – Waterproof Electrical LighterA lighter is a lighter right? Not really.Can your cheap BIC lighter work after dropping it in ariver? Nope. Will a cheap BIC lighter's flame stay lite in 80MPH winds? Nope.So I recommend spending a couple extra dollars on a newbadass fire starting technology: Tesla's Rechargeable CoilLighter.This lighter doesn't use fuel, so you'll never run out. It useselectricity to create an electric arc which is both windproofand waterproof. It charges via a USB port so you'll needa solar charger or a hand crank radio to recharge (bothitems discussed later in this bug out bag checklist).37 - TinderAs an experienced survivalist, you can normally findnatural tinder in the wilderness. However, it's always smartto prepare for the worst, so pre-pack some tinder tabs aswell.Cotton balls work well, or you can buy these Quick FireTabs that are specially made for easy ignition. They hold aCopyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

flame longer giving you time to catch the tinder flame toyour small kindling.38 - VaselineAdd a dab of vaseline to tinder and it will help it ignitequickly and easily.39 – Small Magnifying GlassWith the sun you can use magnificationto focus light energy. This focusedenergy can be harnessed to make a fire.This device will work if you run out ofbutane or matches.Plus, this Gerber Tinderbox helps make fine tinder fromsticks and includes the magnifying glass built in.40 - Small Waterproof Storage ContainerYou should stash all of your fire starting tools into an O-ringsealed waterproof container.This container will keep your fire starting tools dry in adownpour or if you fall in a river with your pack.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

First Aid and Medical SuppliesWhen in the wilderness, exposed to the elements,there's an increased chance of illness or injury.So add the essential first aid supplies to be able to treatthese issues. Remember, a minor cut can kill viainfection if not properly treated.41 - Personal MedicationsIf you have prescribed medications, then stock up and addthem to your bug out bag.42 - Wound Gauze RollGauze is the ideal dressing for bad cuts or severeburns. It's light and takes up very little pack space.Copyright 2016 SkilledSurvival.com – All Rights Reserved - Disclaimer

43 - Surgical TapeThis stuff is made to keep gauze, pads, and bandages inplace even when you're on the move.44 - Band Aids / Mole Skin PadsBand-Aids are the best solution for small cuts andlacerations. They help keep open
