A bug-out bag is a portable kit that normally contains the items one would require to survive for seventy-two hours when evacuating from a disaster ... The focus is on evacuation, rather than long-term survival, distinguishing the bug-out bag from a survival kit, a boating or aviation emergency kit, or a fixed-site disaster supplies kit ... The primary purpose of a bug-out bag is to allow one to evacuate quickly if a disaster should strike. 3, record 1, English, - bug%2Dout%20bag
