What is a bug out bag?

A bug-out bag is a container which keeps essential items readily available in case of an emergency. These are used by many kinds of people from politicians to scientists to survivalists.

Basic items in a bug-out bag are money, clothes, food, water, shelter, weapons, medkits and sensitive documents. A good bag is meant to sustain an individual for up to seventy two hours which can ensure a higher chance of survival until rescue workers or the authorities can reach the scene of a disaster or enable an individual to reach a nearby cache for long-term survival. However, many now suggest that it be able to support the user for five days (120 hours) without external support.

and matches. Not for the fire, because you can't forage firewood in the forest, but for the reefer in the one-hitter.

They won't need a home abortion kit. They can just swing by their local Planned Barrenhood franchise and use their Frequent Killer card.
