Emergencies and disasters can strike at any time. You can increase your chances of survival by arming yourself with survival knowledge and skills along with collecting critical tools and supplies ahead of time. The key is to amass these things before the emergency occurs. Bug Out Bags (also known as BOBs) are an efficient way to organize your emergency items and have them ready for you to grab and run.

​

This book was written to save you time researching information from various sources such as books, videos, online forums, blogs, and articles.
