How to Build a Bug-Out Bag (UK Edition)

When disaster strikes, there’s no time to pack. That’s why preppers build bug-out bags — ready-to-grab kits for surviving the unexpected.

Here’s how to build yours on a budget (and still be ready for anything):

🎒 Essentials:

✅ Backpack (30L+ Waterproof Tactical Bag)

Sturdy, weather-resistant, and lightweight — a must-have foundation.

✅ First Aid Kit

Don’t just grab plasters — go for a full trauma-ready kit with gloves, gauze, and meds.

✅ Water Filter Straw

Clean drinking water in any environment.

✅ Emergency Food Bars (3-day supply)

Compact, calorie-dense, and lasts 5 years.

✅ Fire Starter (Ferro Rod or Magnesium Stick)

More reliable than matches or lighters in wet conditions.

✅ Solar Phone Charger

Charge devices anywhere, anytime.

✅ Emergency Blanket + Poncho Combo

Warmth and shelter in one.

🧠 Final Tips:

• Store this bag near your exit (not buried in the loft)
• Review every 6 months
• Add local maps, spare meds, and small cash if possible
