>>959628Step-by-step bugout bag for dummies:
Step 1. Clothes. Just because you are dressed, doesn't mean you are properly dressed. Something like a fleece jacket, and some thermal underwear can make a big difference in comfort. Also - hat and/or beanie to keep your head warm (you lose a lot of body heat through the head), working gloves (protection from thorny bushes, cuts and shit) and warm gloves/mittens. Rain poncho (even a cheap, thin plastic one). Spare socks.
Step 2: Shelter. Here's the thing. In a bugout situation, you don't want to waste your time building a shelter from scratch (when materials may, or may not be available) every time, when you are on the move. Bring a sleeping bag, and a tent. At the very least, bring mylar, and plastic, and cordage to make a super shelter.
When camping, a tent is obviously your first choice here.
Also - sleeping bag and blanket - besides hypothermia, being cold and miserable is something you want to avoid.
Step 3: supplies.
Don't go strangling possums for food the first thing when you get out. Bring your own supplies of high calories food (jerky, gorp, whatever), and drinking water.
Something you can eat cold, and means to cook yourself a meal (portable stove, or at least a pot to use over a campfire).
Step 4: Tools. A knife, axe or hatchet, multitool or pocket knife. Light. If using a rechargable flashlight, solar power bank is a good idea (also to keep your phone working).
Step 5: medicine (basic meds + any prescription meds you need, anti-diahrrea), anti septic, something for cuts. DEET (for bugs and ticks).
