A bug-out-bag is a backpack filled with the equipment you need to survive apocalyptic scenarios such as a total collapse of the economy or catastrophic superstorms. Typical items include emergency food and water, first-aid kit, camping gear, knives, and weapons. If you've seen Doomsday Preppers, you're probably familiar with the debate about what to leave in and what to leave out.
