Bug Out Car Supplies Shopping List

This bug out car kit will give you a good list of supplementary supplies. It’s not quite a bug out bag and it’s not quite a get home bag. This list exists to give you a nice shopping list for luxuries that you wouldn’t take on foot. But, they’d be nice if your car can do the carrying for you.

Weight is such an important consideration when we plan. It’s the primary factor of what you can and can’t take with you. There are ton’s of items like tents, or iron cook-wear, that are just too heavy to consider.

I’ve got a good article about what kind of vehicle you should bug out in, and this folds in. If your car has more storage space, then you can take more fun stuff with you!

This will also include some car specific gear. If your car’s coming with when you bug out, then you’ll want some supplies for it. Cars can take a lot to keep them going. You don’t want to be caught empty handed if your car’s having problems.

The Bug Out Car Supplies List

Car Supplies
- Spare Tire
- Wheel Wrench
- Tripod Jack
- Jumper cables
- Reflective Triangles
- First Aid Kit (Check My Other List)
- Fire Extinguisher
- Tool kit and/or a multipurpose utility tool
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- Compass
- Duct Tape
- Empty Gas Can (Never Keep This Full Inside The Car)
- Fuses
- Siphon/Pump
- Transmission Fluid
- Coolant
- Oil
- Wiper Fluid

Bonus Bug Out Supplies
- Bug Out Food (Dried Food/Calorie Bars)
- Drinking Water
- Camping Tent
- Bolt Cutters
- Extra Clothes
- Second Weather Radio
Extra Cold Weather Supplies
- Snow Brush
- Snow Shovel
- Warm Clothing
- Cat Litter (For Traction)
- Extra Blankets

Now we’ll jump to the recommendations. I put together my list based on what I would pick. I value quality, but I also value keeping costs low. My picks are a blend of that. I also left some things out of the recommendations. Things like clothes, blankets, and even rations are subjective and covered in other places.

If you’d like to skip the list here and jump right to the shopping, I’ve put together a full wish list on amazon with everything from the list included!

Bug Out Cooking Kit Shopping List: Point-By-Point

This bug out cooking kit will give you a good baseline to start with. It’s perfect for longer-term bugging out, not necessarily short-term get home bags. There’s a lot of things that you an add to your kit. There are tons of luxury items you can throw in if you’ve got the extra space! But you have to remember to keep weight and the ways to reduce it in mind.

The first way is with materials. Aluminum and titanium are much lighter than iron or steel! The other way to bring weight down is with the number of pieces. If you reduce the number of pieces then you reduce the total weight right off the bat.

Bug Out Cooking Kit List

A Lightweight Wood-Burning Stove (Optional)
A Cooking Pot
A Cup For Each Person
A Bowl For Each Person
A Set Of Silverware For Each Person (This could be a fork and a spoon, or a spork.)
A Can Opener (This might be on your Multi-Tool.)
A Wooden Cooking Spoon (Can be cut short to save space.)

Now let’s jump to the recommendations. Since this is a short list I wanted to give two choices for each piece of gear. Ultimately, this whole thing comes down to a lot of preference. Everyone cooks and eats differently. The only way to know what you really need is to test it yourself! Below you’ll find my recommendations and also a link to a list of all of them put together.

TOMSHOO Camping Stove

MSR Alpine Stowaway Pot

GSI Outdoors Halulite Boiler

TOAKS Titanium Cup

Get Home Bag Shopping List: Point-By-Point Guide

This bag is like a slimmed down version of a bug out bag designed to keep you mobile and support you for 24 hours as you make your way back to your loved ones and supplies at your home location. The name of the game here is speed and agility. You can add more but any extra weight will slow you down, and the point of the GHB is speed. For this reason, I’ve only listed items I believe are necessities.

The Get Home Bag Shopping List

Food and Water
- 3-6 Protein Bars
- 1 Liter of Water (In a Nalgene or Collapsible Bladder))
Clothing (Change Into This Before You Depart)
- Lightweight Camping Shirt
- Lightweight Camping Pants
- Hiking Shoes
- Work Gloves
- A Shady Hat
Shelter
- Rain Poncho with Grommets
- Tarp
- Emergency Blanket
- 100 ft of Paracord (Many Uses)
Fire and Light
- Firestarter (Bic Lighters Are Cheap and Effective)
- Prepped Fire Kindling (Petroleum Jelly Soaked Cotton Balls)
- Headlamp
- Good Multi-Tool
First Aid Kit
- Can Be Slimmed Down For Weight But Follow First Aid Kit Guidelines
- Air Filtration Mask
Emergency Communication
- Hand Crank Weather Radio
- Whistle
- Compass
Interpersonal
- Cash (Spread Throughout Bag)
- Bear Mace
- Gun (Only If Trained and Able)

This covers everything you should need to close the gap between you and your loved ones. The only thing on this list I wouldn’t consider a necessity is the gun. If you keep your Get Home bag at work then this likely can’t be included. If you’re not already a gun owner don’t consider getting one unless you’re prepared to learn how to safely handle and maintain one.

Let’s jump into my recommendations. I put together my list based on what I would pick. I value quality, but I also value keeping costs low. My picks are a blend of that. I’ve also scooted the “not required” items to the bottom of the list here.

First Aid Shopping List For Bug Out Bags

September 20, 2020April 2, 2021

Bug Out Bag Shopping List: Point-By-Point Guide

This Bug Out Bag Shopping List includes necessities and some additional things that will help bring you comfort if you have the extra weight for them. As a rule of thumb, your pack should be around 10-15% of your body weight, no more than 20%. This means that if you’re 200 lbs, your bug out bag should be 20-30 lbs and certainly no more than 40 lbs. This ranges with athleticism so if you’re not in the best shape, stick to 10%, if you’re in great physical condition, you can push up higher.

Note: Unnecessary items will be marked with a *** at the front, necessities will be listed without.
