Water Safety
Watercraft safety is a fascinating and complex subject, even for those who don't own a boat. Many of the rules apply to other emergency situations. But undoubtedly it is a top priority for those who own watercraft or spend time around them.
Fortunately there is a great deal of information available to US citizens for free from many accredited organizations and institutions around the country. Most municipalities have some manner of boating safety and training courses and certification available.
Bag Organization
The key to prepping an effective emergency Bug Out Bag or any other survival kit is being able to quickly find and take stock of the items within it.
Resist the urge to dump everything in there willy-nilly. You should be able to find each item quickly and efficiently (even in the dark) without spilling the whole thing open or rummaging endlessly.
Items should be grouped together by function into kits: a fire making kit, a sleep kit, cooking kit, etc.
Choosing an Emergency Bag
When prepping for emergencies, and possible evacuation scenarios, many different variables must be considered. Different situations have different needs. For example, you may not always be at home when one arises.
For that reason we have developed the modular BOBB Five-Part Emergency System which helps you to keep the gear where you will need it most, and when you put it all together gives you the full kit.
Deciding what goes into your emergency kit(s) can be a little overwhelming at first.
Stay Positive!
