Some of these items I have left to your own discretion such as the first aid kit, extra clothes, fishing kit, etc. And yes, I was able to fit all of this in mine and my spouse’s bug out bags each weighing approximately 25 pounds.
TIP: Next to my bug out bags I have one clothing bag filled with our hiking boots, wool socks, thermal underwear, 2 long sleeve shirts, 2 jeans, 2 hoodies, beanies and 2 pairs of gloves. The purpose for having a clothing bag is in the case of an emergency occurring in the middle of the night while we’re sleeping (such as a fire) and all we have on our backs is some cotton pajamas – we grab our bug out bags and clothing bag. When we get to a safe place we’ll have warm clothes to change into and the bag can be easily tucked away in our packs
