Making a bug out bag? Perfect, because here’s a check list of items we recommend for your urban survival B.O.B. for a short term disaster (several weeks at most). Depending on where you live you’ll want to make some changes, for instance if you live in a dessert you might want to consider having a brimmed hat and a winter toque if you’re living up north. Depending on climate and what’s legal, this checklist will have to be modified to best suit your urban survivalist needs.

You may be thinking that this list is somewhat short, if that’s the case just remember this list is for a short term disaster only. Also, we feel it’s important to not bog yourself down with too much weight. Your primary goal in a localized disaster is just to escape the danger zone.
