A flood, fire or other natural disaster, along with electricity shutting down, in a fairly large area, are all things people consider to be the shit hitting the fan. The many people who consider themselves preppers will also suggest the possibility of, wait for it, zombies. Regardless of what is happening, whether natural or man made, if you must leave your home for any length of time, you will need a SHTF bag.
The contents of this container, often called a bug out bag, should enable you to live for at least three days. This will allow you to move about in a dangerous world and search for a better, more defensible structure. All of the contents, that may have to be contained in several large bags, will be survival materials used only for the people in your party.
The items needed for this survival will begin with water. The experts state that one gallon a day per person is needed. The presence of streams and rivers, close by, does not mean you have adequate drinking water unless you pack it. Water purification tablets are also necessary for those occasional fairly clean streams you find.
Being able to take a shower, every day or night, will be something that will have to be postponed for the time being. Your concern should be survival and a bath, in a river or stream, may be all that you can work out. A location to set up a tent or other temporary structure, close to this river may be a good idea if there is room.
Food is next in importance. You will have to pack as much as possible, given the other things that must go into this bag. Dehydrated foods are light weight and pack a lot of nutrition for their size. You will need to use a little water for these as that is what dehydrated means. A tin can stove can be made with the use of a can opener, so bring one of these.
A tent or tarp is needed for a roof. This can be erected or drooped over a fence or other post found and is vital for keeping your stuff dry. Sleeping bags are critical because you need sleep each night and whenever you are not on the run. Staying warm and dry is important for keeping morale up and gathering strength for the next days activities.
Other items very important for your survival will be sharp knives and a hand crank radio for the latest news and weather reports. All medications normally used should be packed as well as a lot of bandages. There should also be disinfectant spray or ointment and gauze bandages for larger cuts and abrasions. A gun or two can be suggested depending on skills and experience, in the group, and areas to be traversed to find shelter and return home.
There are quite a few things that should be included in this type of bag. Many of them should be what is need for survival and not too many of them should be luxury items. Space and weight limitations are limited, but, the inclusion of a paperback book or two can help you down the road.
