MEDICAL BUG OUT BAG(MBOB) The list below is for an Emergency/ Emergency First Aid Kit. We planto Bug In. We have a fairly good supply of medical supplies but this bag isprepared to GTF out. I plan to have one for each vehicle also. Each person inmy BUG HUT has a particular BUG OUT BAG (BOB) they are assigned to grab n’ go. Put your various supplies in distinctivelycolored backpacks so each person knows their BOB immediately. I am an RN; Ithink medical supplies would be a good choice for me to manage. My BOB is RED.In your MBOB you may want to have smaller distinctively colored MBOB’s for anychild specific supplies. One for each child in case, God forbid, the familyshould have to split up. I suggest that you copy AND scan allyour important papers, medical / financial information, photos and anyidentifying info you may need and download them to 2 separate USB/Flashdrives.Put one in a camera film container or some kind of small INFOBOB moisture proofcontainer and place in one in a GTF BOB(ours is in the MBOB), and place the other on the chain you are wearing aroundyour neck now with the really loud whistle on it, Right? An INFOBOB may contain as much or as littleinformation you feel may be necessary to retrieve before, during or after anevent of any kind. To repeat, this list is for anEmergency / Emergency Kit. I call it aMBOB but it’s actually one of 3 GTF BOB’s. So the amount of each item on thelist is approximately enough for each person for 7 days. I will post the info on other GTF Bob’s laterif anyone feels this list has been helpful. This list comes with acomplimentary prayer: “Please God, let me be just crazy and I never really needthis stuff after all.” MEDICAL BUG OUT BAG(MBOB) CHECK LIST o 2LITERS OF WATER (enough for cleaning minor injuries) o NUTRITION/FOOD BARS (enough for ea. person per day to take with medications as needed). o ATLEAST 7 DAYS OF ROUTINE (DAILY) MEDICATIONS o 7DAY SUPPLY OF OVER THE COUNTER (OTC) MEDICATIONS/SUPPLIES FOR EACH PERSON. Acetaminophen, Aspirin, PediatricFever and Pain meds. Imodium, Phenergan or any Antiemetic,Stool Softener, Castor Oil (you would be vastly surprised at themultitude of uses for Castor Oil other than just as a laxative for example: Ifyou have Castor Oil in your supplies you can leave out chap sticks or face soapto mention a couple.) You can saturate cotton balls with most liquids in yourkit and put the cottons ball in a container. This could help salvage most of yourproduct if you should drop the container and the cotton balls should helpreduce the spill.)BE SURE TO SECURELY LABEL ALL PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT IN THE ORIGINALCONTAINERS AND PROVIDE ANY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AS NEEDED. Antacids, Alkaseltzer, Syrupof Ipecac, Cough Drops/Sore Throat Drops. Hard Candies,Pediatric Cough Meds. Diphenhydramine, Each person should carry their own allergymeds in their PERBOB (personal bug outbag). That should include any EPI PENS OR INHALERS each person mayrequire. BUT, if you are not sure if anyone in your BUG HUT has allergies,then at least have one EPI PEN in your MBOB. Tell your MD you are aboutto start raising bees but think you might be a little allergic to them. LOL.

Extra empty containers, (ex: filmcontainers, zip lock bags) Quilt quality and Silk sewingthreads. Fine sewing needles (long), Black Twisted Fishing line,#5 & #7 Ethalon if you can get it. (Store your threads and needlesin as sterile environment as you can.)

PLACE/DISTRIBUTEYOUR SUPPLIES AS EVENLY AS YOU CAN IN THE BAG AND THEN SEAL. ATTEMPT TO HOLDTHE BAG AS FLAT AS YOU CAN TO INHIBIT CRUMPLING THE PAPER LIST. I PUT SOMEITEMS IN SMALL PLAIN GIFT BOXES AND WROTE ON THE BOX. THIS IS TO ASSURE THAT ANYONE USING THIS KITWILL KNOW WHAT’S IN IT AND NOT JUST THE PERSON THAT PACKED IT. AND NO ONE HAS TO RELY ON MEMORY IN A CRISISSITUATION. I STILL SEALED THE BOXES TO PROTECT FROM MOISTURE OR CONTAMINATES.THIS PROCESS HAS WORKED FOR A LOT OF OTHER ITEMS ALSO. o IAM ATTEMPTING TO START YET ANOTHER SURVIVAL BUG SITE FOCUSED MOSTLY ON FOLKSTHAT ARE PLANNING TO BUG IN. THE SITE WILL BE www.kissmy\goodbye.com. HERE’S WISHING US ALL GOOD LUCK AND GOD SPEEDON OUR PREPARATIONS.
