What’s In Your Bug Out Bag Right Now?

[ChrysanthiDream]

Curious what everyone’s actually carrying in their bug out bags right now, especially with weather and shortages changing so fast lately. I’ve updated mine with more compact multi-fuel cook options and wild edibles guides, but I’m always wondering if I’m missing something crucial. Are you prioritizing water filtration, medical, or tools these days? Any gear that surprised you by being more useful (or more of a pain) than expected? Would love to compare lists and maybe pick up a few new ideas.

A folding saw surprised me with how handy it’s become—way more useful than the hatchet I used to lug around. On the flip side, the little camp stove seemed great in theory but hardly gets used since I usually end up making a fire instead. ChrysanthiDream, have you

Really surprised how much I use my tiny first aid pouch, even just for blisters and small cuts. Anyone else carry extra gloves or is that just my nurse habit?
