I see questions like this regularly, because I tend to hang around in places where #survivalism and #preparedness are discussed.
If you are fretting over what (insert piece of gear) you should put in a #bugoutbag, a thing that by definition is something ready to go on a moment's notice and kept intact until and unless #evacuation is needed, first ask yourself whether or not its something you actually ought to be carrying on an #EDC basis.
This is particularly true of #knives and #flashlights.

In a flashlight forum I frequent, someone asked what #flashlights they should buy for their family members' #survival #preparedness #bugoutbags. My response was to ask why their family members weren't already carrying #EDC flashlights and backup batteries for them. What kind of knife? Why aren't you already carrying an EDC knife? And what do you think you are going to actually need to cut? Don't even bother thinking about bugging out before you think about bugging *in* and everyday carry.
