#3 - The 7 Types of Gear you must have in your Bug Out Bag

Survival Cache has a great article about the 7 types of gear you should have in your bug out bag. This is Part 3 to that series.

3. Clothing
Your Bug Out Bag clothes should be similar to what you would pack for a weekend backpacking trip.

A pair of sturdy boots or shoes
A pair of long pants (preferably not blue jeans)
2 Pairs of socks (preferably not cotton)
2 Shirts (Maybe 1 long sleeve and 1 short sleeve for layering)
A Jacket that is both warm and protection from rain
Warm long underwear of some kind
A hat
A Bandana (30 Uses for a Bandana)
This list could go on for a while and many people would never dream of leaving their Bug Out Bag without twice that much, but in a pinch that set up could get you by for 3 days.
