The large number of bug out bags for sale raises questions that can only be answered by looking at what they are, who is purchasing them and why they hold such an important spot in peoples lives. The containers themselves can be most any size but generally contain the means to help a person or family to survive a major disaster. They will contain food, water shelter and possibly a weapon for protection. This represents the minimum of survival supplies.
Bug out bags come with a variety of names such as get home bag, office kit, go bag, I'm never coming home bag and the car bag. Each of these has a specific designation and is equipped accordingly. Obviously the office kit will be smaller and much lighter than the I'm never coming home bag. The office kit can generally be kept in the same location as the first aid kits at work. The I'm never coming home bag should be kept in an easily accessible spot that is convenient in case of a serious disaster in or near your home.
When we think about the barrage of natural disasters that plague our country we realize that absolute safety is an illusion. There are entire cities being destroyed by floods, earth quakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes. These disasters are not something we can foresee but are an inevitable fact of life for some part or another of the nation. These acts of nature disrupt the lives of millions every year. Having one of the bolt bags may save peoples lives.
People are becoming aware that disasters happen every day and help may not be on the way. To remain self sufficient they are planning ahead and setting up a bug out bag that will keep them alive until the cavalry arrives. Pictures of people trapped on roofs or stranded with nothing but the clothes on their backs are making the need for preparedness clearly evident.
Another reason for these bug out bags is for those who enjoy hiking or long term camping. Attacks by bears and mountain lions, getting lost in the desert or mountains can be fatal if you are not prepared. You need weapons, shelter, food and fire to survive.
On the other end of the spectrum lie the Dooms Day believers who think that our civilization is about to end. They have multiple bolt holes and supply stashes to assure they will survive the catastrophic end when it comes.
The attitude that you cannot afford to wait for help to arrive is becoming painfully obvious. You may be unable to wait out the storm or you may encounter some other type of danger roaming around your home. Disasters can bring out the worst as well as the best in many people.
The conclusion here is that the bug out bags for sale are up because the need is there and is being recognized as important. People do not want to rely on others when there is a disaster. Chances are the other guy will be in worse shape than you are and you cannot rely on him for anything. Better off prepared than to end up sorry and suffering?
