I was concerned in the past about an Earthquake being the bug-out trigger event, now it’s Fire – but the bags are getting heavy and much more and my wife won’t be able to carry hers. I’m not a youngster of 40 anymore.
Working on the Med-kit aspect I now wonder if there’s a fire-bandage equivalent of QuikClot…? If not there should be.

95% stuff you would never need. Way to go preppers.
The idea of the bug out bag kept at home is very flawed. The idea that some event is happening and you’re going to high tail it out of your home, where you keep this bag, where to keep all your other things, where your family is, where you have some pre-existing idea of how to protect, where you are probably the safest… For out in the wild somewhere is laughable.
I’ll agree, there are situations where this all makes a ton of sense, they’ll just beyond unlikely. No one is dying from their house burning up because 24hr later they didn’t have a portable am/fm radio. No earthquake victim is in more trouble because they have a kbar or hatchet on them.
I’m all for being prepared, for logical things. I’m not sure I see logic in packing a bag to be kept at home with everything you’d need for a Katrina level event given the probability of the event happen to you at all, plus the probability of you even being able to get to you me bag.
“My bug out bag getting so heavy my wife can’t carry it”…. Yea, that’s all sorts of levels of fail. Sorry, but that’s the truth.
