Bug out kit (extra large)

This is stuff that is too heavy to carry in your 72 hour kit but something you can throw in your car (in addition to what is already there) quickly if you need to evacuate. You might be able to take it in a garden cart if you can’t drive but travel by roads is still safe. Here is an example to help you make your own kit (or here). Pack it in crates or duffle bags. Here are some suggestions (what fits in your car will vary):

More survival books or books on camping/country/simple living
5 gallon water cans (full)
Food (cans and other heavy bulky items)
Cooler (grab some ice and any travel friendly fresh items that are still good like cheese, peanut butter, apples, lemons, and bread)
Large first aide kit
Dutch oven
Stove and fuel or barbeque, Kelly Kettle
Lantern (petromax is good but expensive)
Unscented bleach
Tent and large tarps, rugs
Blanket and pillows (sleeping pad, hammock, or cot)
Paper plates, utensils and cups
Paper towels and wipes
Foil
Solar shower
Bucket toilet (you can store garbage bags, toilet paper, wipes, and soap inside the bucket)
Many garbage bags
Laundry soap
Clothes pins
Soap and shampoo
Ant traps and insecticides
Fishing gear
Radio and batteries
Several extra fuel cans (enough to get to your destination without refueling)
Propane heater with fuel
Generator
Small safe for guns and documents
Bikes (on rack and with pump and tire repair kit)
Frisbee or other games
