This has been discussed before. Check out this thread on
snivel gear. Also, there is one on
How much data is in your BOB?I had to bug out because of Hurricane Ivan. I took magazines, MP3 player, laptop, camera, and GPS receiver. Although I guess the GPS receiver (and the maps) could be considered survival gear. None of this stuff was in a specific bug out bag, but I was bugging out and I did take it with me.
As for documents, I need to get a scanner some day.
