What is a Bug out Bag?

[Nemesis]

Not at all, I really am lost when it comes to EDC, my old one was as far as I now see it all wrong and I gave up carrying it, now I am wanting to go again and build a 2012 EDC that is good for 72 hours self-sufficient to get me home.

Say I had to leave the truck in a rush or could not return to the truck all I have is a small pouch EDC on me type thing.


So Far I have:


EDC Pocket Organiser Fatty
Knife
Knife sharpener
Torch
Peanut lighter
Imco petrol Lighter
CRKT Knives: Eat N Tool
Can Opener
Wetfire
Ranger bands
Magnesium block or fire steel
Collapsing cup (might be able to heat this and boil water, not tested)
Air tight bag that can be filled with water
Waters tabs
Laser pointer
Solar torch
Pouch of my home made powder (energy)


"I need a small multi tool"


But that’s as far as I got.


I don't want fishing kit
I don't want a waterproof note pad
I can't fit a light stick

I don't want anything just for the sake of filling pouch or to look good, nothing pointless, I would sooner carry food then something that will not see use.

I am really asking the forum and not just NR, I only directed it to NR due to the nature of this thread and thought maybe he had EDC one already written out.

I forgot to add I have a water proof, freeze proof, shock proof mobile phone, basically you can kick the shit out of it and it will still work.
