This was an experimental project to build a BOB as cheaply as possible whilst endeavoring to cover as many aspects as possible.
This post demonstrates that a basic bug out / grab bag, whilst possibly not being to required standard can with some thought be assembled with little money.
All items contained, including the bag, are either one pound or less, acquired free or made. The majority of those purchased are either pound shop buys or Ebay.
Whilst product quality of some items may not be suitable for extreme regular usage this does however give a person on a restricted budget a reasonable kit at minimal cost.
Here is a short picture breakdown, full kit list bottom of page. Everything one pound or under or made.
THE BAG
LIGHTING
SHELTER
COOKING
MASK
SANITATION
FIRE
WEATHER
EYE SAFETY
Obviously this kit build, keeping to the pound or less principle, will depend on what is available at the time.
What you obtain free or indeed make yourself will add to your budget kit. Made items here include the tin 'cooker' and waterproof housing.
