Crazyking's Bug-Out BagThis is a featured page

(Note: A copy of this can be found on my main survival plan page.)

Clothing:
  • T-Shirt - I'll have a couple of these in my BOB. For casual wear, I'll have two Apt 9 short-sleeve shirts. Aside from looking stylish as hell, they fit me somewhat loosely. Luckily the very soft material goes down instead of out and around, so I'll only be grabbed if the zombie is too close to survive anyway (biting range). The shirts I'll have for scavenging would be short-sleeved Quicksilver shirts. They are a bit less comfortable, but tighter.
  • Jeans - Lee jeans are perfect fits for me. The other two I have (Arizona and Levi's) work too, but I'd need a belt. Considering I don't have one at the moment, I could just substitute rope in a pinch. None of my jeans trip me up when I have to run, but they aren't uncomfortable high-waters.
  • Shoes & Socks - The only pair of shoes I'd take will be the one I'm wearing when I bug out. They are comfortable Adidas, already broken in. They aren't so loose that they slip off when I kick a soccer ball, but I can slip them on and off in around 10 to 15 seconds. I will have a few pairs of socks so that I don't get blisters, too.
  • Gas Mask - I've used the filter (as said before), so I will be wearing this badass-looking mask just to look badass. It doesn't impair my vision at all, and it is a very comfortable fit.
  • Duct Tape Armor - To prevent against bites on my arm, I would be using duct tape bracers of sorts. They would be able to breathe through the sides, but they would have no adhesive. Instead it would just be a strip of velcro to fasten them around my arm.
  • Sunstroke/Wind Hat - From M&I Surplus, this hat has flaps for my neck that will protect me from sunburn/sunstroke, wind, and rain. It fits perfectly, and I'm going to put a MilSpec Monkey Zombie Hunter patch on the front!
  • Carrier or Bag:

    Gas Mask Bag - Most of the time I will have my gas mask on, so there's no need for the bag (I have used the filter and thrown away the lenses) except for a secondary BOB. In it I could fit 4 bottles of beer, three lighters, four decks of poker cards, a box of painkillers, a bottle of liquid painkiller, two boxes of Band-Aids, a little bottle of butane lighter fluid, and the antibiotic ointment. It's easy to swing around my neck and arm, and It's comfortable. It could fit in my primary BOB if I got tired of carrying it.
    School Backpack - My pack is around 8x6x19 inches (around 850 ~ 900 cubic inches) large. It's nice and comfortable, and has a few pockets. The largest one also contains a laptop pouch. The second-largest can fit lots of things nicely. The third-largest could fit a copy of The Deathly Hallows snugly. The second-smallest can fit perhaps 5 ~ 7 packs of playing cards. The smallest could fit an iPhone and headphones. Still, that's a lot of capacity.
