1. How much should a Bug-Out Bag weigh?

Aim for no more than 20–25% of your body weight . A balanced, lightweight bag improves mobility and reduces fatigue.

2. How often should I check my Bug-Out Bag?

Inspect every 3–6 months . Replace expired food, dead batteries, and outdated documents.

3. Can I use one Bug-Out Bag for my family?

It’s better to have one per person. Each bag should match the person’s age, health, and needs (e.g., kids or pets).

4. Where should I store my Bug-Out Bag?

Keep it in an accessible, dry area — near your home exit or vehicle — so you can grab it quickly in an emergency.

5. What’s the biggest mistake people make when packing a Bug-Out Bag?

Overpacking. Stick to essentials. Remember, mobility is survival — if you can’t carry it comfortably, you won’t make it far.
