TheReadyStore.com – They have heirloom seeds, water purification & storage, MREs, complete kits, and a large section of grains, veggies, and fruit. I especially love them for their checklist (wishlist). You can easily add items you would like to purchase and just move them to your cart as you can afford. They also offer coupons & monthly specials. You can also earn reward points that can be spent on product later.
LongLifeFood.com – Very wide selection of MREs and premade kits. They also carry shakes & electrolyte drinks. We haven’t ordered from them yet, but plan on it soon.

A Bug Out Bag (BOB) is a large pack filled with everything you would need to take with you to survive for a few days after a disaster, if you were forced (or chose) to leave your home. It needs to be small enough to carry easily, yet large enough to hold at least 72 hours worth of supplies. You should keep a fully-stocked BOB for each member of your house in an easily accessible location at all times.
