Don’t Forget The Tools
When looking at a survival supplies list, there are some essential tools for survival that you will definitely want to add to your bug out bag.
Keeping in mind that these survival items will vary, depending on the various bug out plans you have.
For instance, if you are in the deep south and plan to stay there, then there will not be a need to add an ice-pick or snow shovel to your pack! 🙂
Essentials…
But there are a few things that are essential to ANY survival supplies list, REGARDLESS where you will be hanging out, such as…
- a good survival knife
- some sort of hatchet or saw
- rope
- tent
- sleeping bag
- etc.
