the only way to have a good current bug out bag is to go thru it several times a year and do a complete inventory and re-think of everything.

Here is me taking my own advice. (I give such good advice so I very seldom take it)

Here is my own personal bug out bag.

Note: My bug out bag is super heavy and I would also be carrying a rifle and ammo.. so the idea of the bugout bags is that they really go into the car for bugging out of the city. If things get really bad and we need to leave the cars then we can put them on our backs and walk for a short time. I don't think I could walk far with my super heavy pack nor could my wife. But then again after you start eating and drinking it gets lighter and you can always ditch things.

Best and lightest is the 1 or 2 serving size of Mountain House freeze dried food. It will keep for years and years.
The only disadvantage is you have to add water to it. Heated water if possible.
Buy it here:

If you want something ready to eat that might be cheaper(but heavier) then I would recommend chef boyardee spagetti with meatballs which doesn't taste half bad cold.

Maybe smoked oysters, beef jerky or small cans of tuna or chicken. Peanuts are good too.
Don't forget the can opener or the swiss army knife to open cans though.
