Let’s say you had to bug out with your dog because you were subject to an emergency…
You know what you’d take for yourself: wallet, keys, family photos, portable food, cell phone and charger, spare cash, a bug out bag (first aid, lawn and leaf bags, flip flops, pen and paper, soap and shampoo, toothbrush and floss, umbrella, soft wool shirt, walkie talkies and batteries, Vaseline, whistle water purifier, gloves, hat, sunscreen, rain tarp, paracord, underwear, socks, wind jacket, jeans, pocket knife, some snack bars, pepper spray, space blanket, water, fire starter, etc… same stuff you’d take on an overnight hike), spare eye glasses, spare sun glasses, flashlight, durable shoes, important contacts list in waterproof container, some durable clothes if you have enough time, valuables, computer and charger, and important papers.
But, what about your dog? Yes, take your dog… but what else? Do you maintain a bug out bag for your dog? You probably should: food and water bowls, first aid book, first aid kit, pre-packaged dry food (weighs less than canned), water, extra leashes and collars, a couple of toys, brush, medicines, thumb drive with photos and pre-prepared flyer in Word format in case your dog gets lost, licenses, possibly a citronella spray to keep other dogs away as you run away. And is your dog microchipped?
Plan accordingly.
