A 72-Hour Kit — also called a bug-out bag or emergency kit — is designed to keep you alive and functional for the first three days of a crisis. Whether you’re evacuating, sheltering in place, or moving between locations, it provides the core supplies for food, water, shelter, and safety.

In the doctrine of GoBag or Stay Home™ and Always Be Ready to Go Camping™, this is the kit that gives you flexibility to adapt quickly — from hunkering down to getting out fast.
