More about bug out bags
A bug out bag is the pack that waits by the door for the moment staying put is no longer an option: a fire, flooding or an evacuation nearby. Unlike a home emergency kit it has to be carried, so every gram counts. These bags hold water, food, light, first aid and warmth for the first days on the move.
Filters
Judge a bag on three things: weight, contents and carrying comfort. A pack you cannot carry for an hour is not an evacuation pack. Around ten to fifteen percent of your body weight is a sensible ceiling. Then check the contents against your likely route: on foot, water and a filter matter more than extra food. Finish the bag personally with medication, copies of your passport, a spare key and sturdy footwear stored beside it. If you are more likely to shelter at home than to leave, a complete emergency kit or a 72-hour kit is the better starting point.

A home kit stays where you live and is meant to keep you self-sufficient there. A bug out bag is built to be carried out of the door, so it is lighter, tighter and wearable. Plenty of households keep both: a kit in the cupboard, a bag by the door.
