upon opening the bugout bag, this is what`s on top:
a
fishing vest (or similar) (i went for a cheap one which says "pedigree pal" on it..since it came for free with a bulk of dog food)
the vest is already fully stuffed with the little but vital items no one wants to be searching for in the big bag...(rather wear it in case the bugout bag has to go for whatever reason)..
so it`s good to have some essentials in the vest pockets (something to cut and something to make fire)..essentials..like:
little knick lights, wire saw,various knives (folding), (swiss army knife..((which is not considdered as knife in the swiss army but as tool!))), compass, little first aid kit, pen, little notebook, little flashlight, lighters & matches, thermal blanket, thin plastic raincoat, a tiny shnaps (airline) bottle of javel water, (might want to have a tiny (airline) bottle of cognac too..whatever`s your favourite) a little power booster snack pack: guarana chocolate/dextrose/rocksugar,etc., maybe a little pocket radio, little pocket survival guide, small roll of fishing line .etc...etc...
ps: the bigger the vest, the better, so it can be just thrown comfortably over whatever winter coat one is wearing...
pps: whatever space is left, stuff it with condoms* and or kiddy balloons (to carry/collect water, blow up as floatation aid..etc..,zibloc bags...etc..
*
in case things get really bad and one knows, that someone else will take away all possessions..the condoms (a couple) can be used to put in the lighter and the swiss army pocket knife...and then stick it in the pooper!...somebody stop me!
