the.com/bug out bag

your entire life, packed for the day it ends as you know it.

means a pre-packed kit of essential supplies meant to sustain you for 72 hours if you have to leave home immediately.

from military slang since the korean war, when soldiers ordered to retreat fast said they had to bug out; preppers borrowed the phrase and the urgency in the cold war era of fallout shelters.
