Gold bullion, guns, and lots of bullets!

Here's something that should be in every "bug out bag":

And it's good for 10 years.

2year manufacturer shelf life guarantee. 10 year shelf life.

 

What is the 2nd for if the manufacturer only says 2? I like the idea though.

For 2 years the shelf life is guaranteed. After that, it's edible, but you're on your own if it tastes funny.

well everyone has great ideas here. I have a few other tricks up my sleeve. I am a RN so I have perhaps a different view point. I have some basics like you all have. I gave the thread a quick read so forgive me if any of you have similar items...

 

We experienced a rollover and it was a pain in the arse to get that person out with a broken Tibia/fibula fracture. so I have a good arm sling, and leg spint. plus I bring a couple of pillowsan inflatable air mattress for the back of the jeep. I can imobilize a broken limb and give pain meds. then turn the jeep into an ambulance by floding down the rear seats, put in the mattress and prop up the injured person with pillows. all my other gear can go in other peoples jeeps/4x4's or hopefully I will have a roof rack one day.

 

If someone is bleeding quite badly then i have a belt with many holes to use as a tourniquet and also I have sutures, steristrips, skin stapler, and Normal saline to flush out a wound before patching up. then tensor badage with adominal pads to cover.

I recently purchased a little trail style first aid kit, as well as a traditional one you would find in someones home or at work. I feel much better now that I have these in the Jeep.

and this is why you put any liquid/gell/cream products in a ziplock bag before you throw them in your go-bag:

 

 

found that mess while going through the bag today. i guess i learned that i need to actually bag each product in a separate small zip-lock and then throw them all in a gallon size bag... cuz i don't know how you like your blistex, but i prefer mine not soaked in DEET

See, George makes fun of me for the number of ziploc bags it takes me to pack, but I know it pays off in the end with less ruined stuff.

If you are worrying about a zombie apocalypse than it makes sense to carry your BOB in your vehicle at all times. Otherwise, in my opinion, you should keep them( as well as your large expedition first aid kits) in your air conditioned house. The heat inside a vehicle(more so in Arizona) will break down all products, like your waxes and gels, medications(ie-aspirin/ibuprofen,) and adhesives(i-bandaids/medical tape.)

After any trip it is good to go through your kit if you are slumming it without A/C, and check your items like K-dude did here.
