💀 The "I’ll Pack It Later" Myth
We’ve all told ourselves the lie: “When things get bad, I’ll just throw it together.” Translation? You’ll be trying to remember where you put your headlamp while someone sets your neighbor’s Toyota Prius on fire.
Spoiler: if you don't have it packed now, you won't have it when it matters. You'll be bugging out with a tote bag, one flip-flop, and a cold Pop-Tart.
⚙️ Overstuffed and Undertrained
We’ve seen your bag. It’s glorious. Tactical zippers, MOLLE attachments, more compartments than a dystopian divorce court. But here’s the thing—owning a ferro rod doesn’t mean you can use it. Especially not when you're panicking, wet, and trying to remember if “magnesium shavings” are the same thing as glitter.
A good bug out bag isn’t about gear hoarding. It’s about gear survival. If you haven’t practiced with it, tested it, or at least googled it while sober, you might as well be carrying decorative paperweights.
🍬 The Weird Things You Pack
You’d be amazed what people cram into a bug out bag. Half-used lighters. Expired protein bars. A single condom “just in case” (no judgment, but priorities, friend). One guy had a harmonica. If you're planning to soundtrack the apocalypse, at least throw in a kazoo for backup.
Here’s a tip: if you wouldn’t carry it while sprinting from a suburban firestorm with your pants around your ankles... it doesn’t belong.
