    my truck is my "grab bag". Although I do have a bag in my house too for emergencies that I can also toss in the truck that has more clothes and a few emergency supplies. But most stuff people put in the bug out bag live in my truck anyway

    you can eat a cliffbar on the go. for those camping meals you need boiling water, which means making a fire.

    I have one. I'm always making changes and adding/subtracting stuff as I go. It's a good idea to have one.
