Vehicle Bug out Bag List | Small Bug Out Bag

Sharing is caring!

I ‘ve gathered my bug out bag list for you to check out. You never know when you’ll need the things in this bag. I use my bag more often than I ever thought.

One night I went to dinner with my parents. We live in a hot climate but it was unexpectedly cold and windy.

My Bug Out Bag to The Rescue?

I went to my car and removed my down jacket from my B.O.B. and was warm for the rest of the night!

This down jacket is warm but it packs really small for a bigger jacket.  

This was not a real emergency. Hopefully, you never have to face a true emergency.

At the least, this bag has come in handy, a very helpful tool that I keep in the trunk of the car.

Also, being prepared may provide you with peace of mind in case something bad does happen.

Some other recommendations…

I recommend a solar flashlight. My husband got me one from the tool truck, but I found the same one on Amazon. Here is the Solar powered flashlight on Amazon. I love mine, it works very well.

Something else my husband got for me off the truck was this Kershaw machete/camp knife.

I found some small sewing kits at the Dollar Tree and of course, they are only $1. Not the best quality, but if you’re like me, cheap is what I can afford, sometimes!

Also, from the Dollar Tree I buy dental floss, hand-sani, antibacterial ointment, playing cards, travel bibles, bandages, gauze, & face masks. If you want you can see more on my Dollar Tree Bug Out Bag.

*Clothes- it does depend on what climate you’re living in and plan to retreat to!

• Small Jacket – water-resistant if possible/down jacket that is easily compressed
• Scarf
• Gloves
• Long sleeve shirt
• Pants
• Socks – wool because they will wick the moisture away and you do not want your feet wet!
• Underwear – a couple pair

Thanks for visiting! Is there anything I missed? The list could go on and on and never end!

At some point, you really have to limit yourself and teach yourself to use what you have on hand.

I find that it’s best to make a list, then prioritize that list.

This is how I ultimately made my list. I hope it helps you make a top-notch bag for yourself.

Don’t forget to do a lot of research! Think about health issues your family may have, and don’t forget about prepping for your pets!
