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.

How about a pin or necklace with the peace sign on it? Or better yet -- an aunk? Anyone know what THAT is? (I'm really testing.)
