bug out bag
Emergency escape supplies
A bug out bag is a portable kit packed with essentials for emergency evacuation—typically containing food, water, first aid supplies, and survival gear sufficient for 72 hours.
The term comes from military slang where "bug out" means to retreat hastily.
Preppers and survivalists keep one ready for natural disasters, civil unrest, or societal collapse: I keep a bug out bag in my car just in case.
