Lightening Your Bugout Bag the Load and Becoming Less Reliant On Gear
I saw a conversation in a preppers group on Facebook the other day that got me thinking about something. The conversation started with someone obviously very new to all this asking probably the most common beginner’s question there is about prepping.
“I’m putting together a bugout bag, what do I need to put in it?”
Over 60 responses later, this group had put together a really impressive collection of weapons, water purification gear, about 20 different fire starting tools, knives, saws…you name it. By the time they were done you could probably take this bag to the moon and survive.
I’ve seen this same conversation a million times before but it didn’t hit me until this one. After about 30 minutes of looking at most of these products on Amazon, my hunch was confirmed. The total combined weight of just HALF of this gear, (along with 3 days of MREs, water and a hiking pack to fit it all in) was well over 90 pounds.
I don’t care who you are, carrying a 90+ pound pack for 72 hours or more on little or no sleep is a pretty tall order. For the majority of us, even attempting to carry this much gear during a major disaster scenario would virtually guarantee a severe injury or worse.
Let’s forget (for the sake of argument)t that realistically, a lot of really bad stuff would have to happen for it to make any sense at all to bug out on foot for most people. If you truly were in the situation though, where your best chance for survival is to put on your pack and hoof it for 3 day to another location, weight is going to be your biggest enemy. Finding ways to carry fewer tools and resources will make your trip safer and faster.
