Hello! I am new to prepping/bugging out. Does anyone have any recommendations for what I should put in a bug out bag? Specifically for urban survival?

Here′s mine that's built around a group-Bug out so it's a bit on the heavier side (about 33lb) and based around urban-rural woods hybrid area:

Inner bag, main compartment:

Cooking/fire assistance bag: Steel 20 oz cup, steel 10 oz cup, Spirit burner, fuel, collapsible stove, utensils, tealight candles, and cotton balls soaked in Vaseline.

Fasteners/Cordage: Paracord, duct tape, Bankline, Clear flex string, and 14 inch zip ties.

Food stuff/snacks: Ration bars, trail mix, peanut butter, meat sticks, crackers, oatmeal, and electrolyte water additive.

Hygiene bag: Ready to use wet wipes, travel size toothbrush brush/paste, camp soap, and compressed wipe tablets.

Tech Case: 30,000 mAH power bank, USB-C & Micro USB cables, wall plug, and wireless charge pad.

Extra/specialty clothes: Wool and dress socks, boxer briefs, Merino wool long sleeve shirt, and HI-VIS polyester shirt.

Small tool case: Ferro rod/striker, Magnesium pencil sharpener, bellows, needle & thread, signal mirror, whistle, titanium pick, razor blades, rubber bands, and ground stakes.

Outer bag compartments:

Quick access tools on top: Spare AA/AAA batteries, 10,000 mAH power bank/hand warmer, Flash drive, Multi-tool, Folding saw, Poncho, stormproof matches, Clip-on lights, and Primary powerful flashlight (lithium rechargeable or can be used with AA batteries).

Booboo compartment Waterproof first aid kit with bandaids, cotton swabs, tweezers, antibacterial ointment, burn gel, itch relief cream, sports wrap, gauze, safety pins, and meds (Acetaminophen, Naproxen, Loperamide, Meclizine, antihistamine, antacid, and caffeine tablets). Also larger 3x4 bandages, gauze, moleskin, triangular bandage, and disposable gloves.

Quick access relief compartments and tools: 20oz water bottle, Mora knife, hand trowel, O′keefe′s hand cream, Travel size sunscreen, Vaseline, Picaridin bug repellent lotion, bug net, extra wipe tablets, large hand warmers, water filtration kit, and water purification tablets.

Outer compartment rear & Trauma wound bag: Tear resistant working gloves and quick release trauma bag with large thick gauze pads, Israeli bandage, Tourniquet, SAM Splint, Saline water, irrigation syringe, chem lights, and extra sanitation wipes and disposable gloves.

Bottom compartment sleep/shelter system: Sleeping pad, Tent bivy, sleeping bag bivy, emergency blankets, 55 gallon trash bag, and extra chem lights. For camping, I use a dedicated camping tent, albeit it is heavier and slightly more time consuming to set up.

Quick access front waist compartments and hangers: Bic lighter, Serrated knife with belt/line cutter, Pen with glass breaker, Mini flashlight, and 4x 2400lb test carabiners.

Here′s the bag fully loaded from the rear: I avoided having anything extra hanging off on this part to avoid snags and to allow the waterproof bag cover to still fit nicely over the entire back.

And here's the bag from the front: 2L water bladder hose from inside the bag, along with the carabiners and waist pouches attached to the waist belt.
