bug out bag

THERE IS SO MUCH WRITTEN ABOUT THE CONTENTS of a bug out bag that it has almost become a religious discussion. The merits of each item carried are carefully weighed and discussed, as is the method of packing said bag. Not much time, however, is spent on discussing the bag itself, however. For those not in the know, a bug out bag is nothing more than a collection of essential supplies that the user keeps close by in the event of some emergency.
