Pizza's idea of the Sawyer was an excellent suggestion and would be one of my top recommendations as well. To hit some other categories for ideas:

I would look at survival rations. ER Bar, S.O.S. Rations, Mainstay, and Datrex were the brands I looked at. I ended up with Mainstay after a little research. There honestly appears to be little difference overall though so you could actually get whatever you can find cheapest or whatever little differences you prefer. One 3600 calorie package is supposed to last 3 days giving you 400 calories per day.

The biggest thing to remember is that these are made specifically to be light, compact, and the minimum you need to keep going for 3 days. You would not want to pack them for living for months off of but for 3 days they were the best alternative I could find.

Take some of theses.

Also load up your pack with all your shit and weigh it. Then either "practice" hike with it or something heavier.

There are also backpacking subs that could help you out.

All bug out bags should have one thing in common: The rule of threes.

In survival situations, the rule of three states that you should preferably have at least three ways of performing any survival task. For a bug out bag, this means you should have the tools to perform each of the following actions in at least three ways:

Start a Fire

  • Matches
  • Flint & steel
  • Lighter
  • Focusing lens/mirror (Fresnel Lenses are best)
  • Piston igniter

    Signal at a Distance

  • Smoke generator
  • Flares
  • Signaling mirror
  • Fire

    Generate Light

  • Battery-powered flashlight
  • Crank-powered flashlight
  • Chemlights
  • Fire

    Treat injuries
    There's really only one way to treat injuries, so rather than having three different ways of doing it, make sure you have the three essentials:

  • First aid kit
  • Training
  • First aid manual

    Purify Water

  • Purification tablets
  • Hand-held filter (ceramic are the best, but activated charcoal work too)
  • Container to boil it with (Starting to see how useful fire is, yet?)

    Stay Warm

  • Mylar blanket
  • Spare clothing
  • You guessed it; Fire

    Obtain Food

  • Compact snares
  • Edible plant guide
  • Collapsible rifle (if legal in your area), slingshot, crossbow, or other hunting weapon.

    As well as these items, you should have as much of the following as you can get:

  • Three days' worth of water. Two liters is enough if you don't intend to sweat excessively, but twice that may be necessary.
  • Three days' worth of food. Emergency Rations are extremely compact for their calorie content and are your best bet, as they can be eaten straight out of the package.
  • 20' (or more) of rope that can support at least twice your body weight.
  • Compass & Map. This isn't as necessary if you're very familiar with the area you plan to bug out into, but is still highly recommended.
  • GPS. Most collapse scenarios will not see a loss of GPS functionality, and those that do generally don't project losing it for at least a few weeks in, long after you've (hopefully) established a secure temporary site. If you include one of these, a portable solar charger to keep the batteries topped off.

I know folks on here generally favor "real"-ish foods, but I have marine emergency rations for this purpose. They're pretty compact, vacuum sealed, and will keep you alive for up to 3 days. No frills, apparently tastes pretty blah, but does the job.

I have a different brand, but there are many companies that make stuff like this: https://www.amazon.com/ER-Emergency-Ration-1B-Preparedness/dp/B008DEYC86

u/DieCommieScum · 2 pointsr/AdviceAnimals

Yeah, it doesn't need to be great stuff either. You can build out a pretty good pack for like $40 at walmart...

  • Cheap $10 back-to-school special backpack
  • $4 sweat shirt
  • $5 multi-tool
  • 99c lighter
  • 25c roll of TP
  • $5 can of bug spray
  • $3 pair of wool socks
  • $5 pair of sweatpants
  • $5 worth of powerbars
  • 99c emergency blanket
  • 99c poncho
  • 99c liter of water

    Preferably to powerbars though: http://www.amazon.com/ER-Emergency-Ration-Survival-Preparedness/dp/B008DEYC86

    EDIT: oh yah, a cheapo flashlight too for a few bucks... comes in handy... but this is something everyone should just have in the glove box.

    EDIT2: best free fire tinder in the world too is dried out pinecones, compress a few dried ones into a freezer size ziploc bag and you'll be able to start a fire with the wettest shit on earth... lite those with a piece of TP or keep a napkin in there with them.

Allow me to introduce you to the Emergency Survival Bar. 3600 cal in a 6 x 5 x 1.4 inch package, or 42 cubic inches.

From personal experience, these pretty much taste like edible (fatty) bricks. The issues others are mentioning with speed of absorbtion (fiber etc.) can be dealt with by just pacing how fast you eat these - on a short term basis anyway.

u/HeloRising · 1 pointr/preppers

I've tried these before and I have a bunch around. They're pretty good. You can't really live off them if you're going to be running around a lot and they don't fill you up but they're pretty good to have considering their cost and zero maintenance.

A 3600 Calorie breakfast bar maybe?
