I'm noticing a larger market of stuff like this. I am not a Disaster prepper or anything, but I don't think it would be a bad idea to have something like this for hurricane, tornado, ebola or other types of emergencies. Anyone have something like this? Pretty genius IMO to take advantage of the over reactive people in this world... I want one.

Holy crap, 4 person bug out bag is $900 without add-ons /food/etc. Most of their electronics require batteries or USB charging. It looks like more of a pre-made hiking kit than a bug out bag.

I made a bug out bag for a vehicle that we have used during hurricane evacs. It is more centered on vehicles than hiking... full tool kit, common repair items, duct tape/zipties/super glue, air compressor, fuel can, fix a flat & plug kit, spare jack/4way, etc. I also have water filter, non-perishable food, MRE kits, couple gallons of water I rotate out, etc. I have never had to "use" the BOB in an emergency, but it sure is nice to use it when I have a break down/flat or in our case, when trying to evac for hurricane. The BOB has saved a lot of time not having to stop at gas stations with supplies... it basically extends our trip to where we don't have to stop for 700-800 miles (which gets us to our parents house), and we don't have to wait in line at gas stations for fuel/food/supplies/etc.

I have this one and really like it: LINK

Mostly use it as a range bag though. I've had it for a few years and it's still pristine.

I have a backpack that I keep packed with some emergency supplies, just in case I have to grab and go...


I did see some pre-made bug out bags for sale at wal-mart and found them kind of interesting...they had some packets of emergency food and water in them, which I liked...
