bugout bag
Emergency escape kit
A bugout bag is a portable kit containing supplies for emergency evacuation—typically food, water, first aid, and survival gear for 72 hours.
The term comes from military slang for hasty retreat.
Preppers and survivalists keep bugout bags ready for disasters, civil unrest, or societal collapse: I keep a bugout bag in my trunk just in case.
