Kids’ Bug Out Bag Guide

The usefulness of a good bug out bag is not just limited to adults. Kids obviously can’t carry as much, and you don’t need to load them down with survival tools. A good kids’ bug out bag concentrates more on keeping the child comforted and involved.

90% of adults have had children by the age of 50. So, chances are that knowing how to construct a kid’s version of a bug out bag will be helpful to you and your family. In the off chance that it doesn’t, it’s always good information to pass off to new families anyways.

A child will need different supplies, tools, and resources in an emergency. Their skill sets can vary widely, and you cannot expect them to behave and react to stressful situations like an adult. We’re going to go over an ideal kids’ bug out bag list, how to pack the bag, the best bug out bag for kids’ smaller size, why kids need to know about survival and a few additional bug out tips for children.

A kid’s bug out bag list looks very different from an adult’s. Many heavy items and tools that require skill are removed and replaced with items that provide comfort and emotional stability. This list is meant for kids over three since it assumes they can carry a backpack. Here are the essentials listed in order of importance:

1. Contact Information – Kids get lost. You don’t want lost kids when you are already dealing with a separate emergency. Put their contact information and instructions where they know how to get to it quickly.
2. Comfort Items – This is the spot for their favorite teddy bear, blanket, or whatever else they use to soothe their nerves. You don’t have to stow it away in their bug out bag, but definitely leave room for it.
3. Steel Water Container – You might be tempted to put a sippy cup or other water container in their bug out bag, but a steel water container is much more versatile. Ditch the insulated types so you can use them to heat water or food as well.
4. Snack Food – Kids expend a lot of energy but have little bodies. Keep them fueled up with higher-calorie snacks and nutritious snack food.
5. Water Filter – Personal water filters may seem complicated at first, but they are one of the easiest survival tools to use. Kids can figure them out and have fun with them quickly.
6. Change of Clothes – A change of clothes belongs in any bug out bag, and one of the easiest ways to store them inside is by using a skivvy roll. This technique works with kids clothes as well, so skivvy away!
7. Hygiene Kit – Another inclusion that shouldn’t be cut just because the bug out bag is made for a kid. Hygiene is important- even on the go.
8. Paper and Pen – You’ll find this in an adult’s bag as well, but kids can use them to write journals, create maps, and play games.
9. Games – Small profile games are best for bug out bags- playing cards, crosswords, coloring books, etc. Keep it lightweight and small.
10. Headlamp – Headlamps are fun for kids and are a great way to keep their hands free for other activities.
11. Glow Sticks: Great for low-light, visibility, signaling, and marking. Great for hanging a unique color on your kid’s bag to easily and discretely identify them in the dark. 
12. Poncho – A small disposable poncho is lightweight and fits the bill.
13. Sleeping Bag – An emergency bivvy may be a better choice if you are starting to run out of space or have the bag getting heavy.
14. Gloves – Kids don’t want to sit around. Add sturdy work gloves in your kid’s size so they can be safe on their hands while ‘helping out’.
