    Marcraft: If you are prepared for the situation that you are in or will be placing yourself in, then you will probably stand a pretty good chance of surviving. If for instance you are in an area where wildlife is the biggest obstacle to your survival, but know nothing about how to deal with it...SOL. Same goes in an urban environment and interacting with human animals, or in an area where weather concerns are paramount (i.e. hurricanes, tornado, cold, heat....)

    A Bug-Out Bag is a portable kit containing all of the items one would require to survive for seventy two hours after evacuating from a disaster. It is also known as a 72hr kit, emergency kit and disaster supplies kit. The focus on evacuation, rather than survival, distinguishes the bug-out bag from a survival kit.

    My survival kit attaches to my Bug-Out Bag so it extends the capabilities of my Bug-Out Bag. Add those with my vehicle kit, I have extended the 72hr kit to 9 days. If you haven't been in a aftermath of a disaster... don't always count on help in the first 72 hrs... more like 7 to 10 days depending on: location, amount of relief supplies, damage to area, damage to surrounding areas and how well your local /state emergency management reacts to the disaster. Even in shelters things are messed up, do not use your Bug-Out Bag unless you have to. Shelters only have so much supplies til they get resupplied.
    "The ability for a person to prevail in a survival situation is based on three factors: survival knowledge, equipment, and will to survive. All are important, but the most important is the will to survive." -Greg Davenport
