When it comes to bug out food, there are several options we can choose to go with.
If you are living on a small (or big) farm, then your survival plan is probably in place to a large extent as you will have a garden and animals for bug out food…
In fact, many folks living on a farm do not need a bug out plan at all!
But for the majority of people, living on a farm is not an option so a bugout bag or bugout plan is a MUST, and included in that plan there needs to be bug out food.
We have listed several bug out food options below to do further research… and we only ask on thing… PLEASE PREPARE!
Don’t get caught with nothing set aside for food when there is a city wide crisis and the streets are closed off with no access to any food places.
Having the RIGHT bugout backpacks is of UTMOST importance when you are creating an emergency pack of any kind.
There are several things to look for in a good QUALITY bugout backpack.
- Strength
- Durability
- Lots of space and pockets
- Strong straps and ETXRA straps
- Weather Resistant
- Comfortable Hip Belt
- Lightweight (preferably aluminum frame)
