If there's real trouble you need to get far away from the cities very quickly. Then you need to stay away from the south side of cities as survivors try to head south. Head north. Get out fast. Travel very light. When you can get no further in the car abandon everything you can't easily carry. Stop when you hit snow or Hudson Bay and try to hold out till spring.
Ricko, I saw those and opted for this, everything in my pockets listed in OP goes in the center section, then in my car I keep this, if I need to boogie, but can get to my car I dump my contents into the center section and on the side section I have a bottle of water, potassium iodide pills, a Gerber EOD tool, a Ka-Bar D-2 Folder, magnesium fire starter wrapped in 50 feet of para-cord, a sure fire tac light, 4 extra CR123 batteries, more pain pills plus a small, Altoids size first aide kit, some 50 pound test fish line, hooks, sinkers, sewing kit, 2 more magazines loaded, another 50 rounds of ammunition, P-38 can opener, baklava and OD scarf, 2 light sticks, extra cell phone, extra cell battery and a car/wall charger for cell batteries, another pen, water proof paper, back up flash drive and adapter for my Blackberry so I can open the flash drive, a box of chick-lets and small can of Altoids and a bump key set with and extra house and car key. A small rolls of copper wire, 1 pair clean underwear, 2 pairs of clean socks and a hotel bar of soap. (Extra socks and clean underwear can make you feel fully recharged even in the worst situations, you have no idea if you haven't been in that situation. Being able to get clean in a creek, pool, puddle, etc with soap is huge too)
Also threw in another $800 in smaller bills, 1 rolls of silver dimes and silver quarters, 5 1/10 age's, 5 1/4 ounce age's and 3 1/2 ounce AGE's in a film canister.
SHTF, I head South, south is where my gear is at, but have places to stop along the way.
% cents, the sig is just like a mini 1911, in fact it is very, very, very similar to a colt .380 pony or mustang. In fact the mags are interchangeable! .380 with the right load, especially a hand load has just as much stopping power as a .40.

Baklava is a delicious Turkish pastry, I think you mean balaclava.
you have inspired me to make a smaller bag with essentials that can be inserted into a larger bag with lesser essentials. My problem (being a female) is that I tend to keep throwing more and more stuff/WEIGHT into the bag, and then it gets overloaded and too heavy. I recently bought a small cargo/box trailer that I am in the process of packing up with camping supplies in case we needed to evacuate (that would be for extreme case only.) Either/or it makes for good storage as well, but the problem is that summer time you can't keep food, and winter, you have to worry about water, etc. freezing. So, I am still in process of packing it and making things 'warm'... you rly can't make them cool. ie. no canned goods/they would freeze. My larger water containers, am wondering if in plastic, and leaving head room if they would be ok to freeze, or if they could crack and get everything else wet. I will leave them by the door, just in case that were to happen.
I am in process of trying to find some type of insulation to wrap a few things in to keep them from freezing during winter/packed in trailer. Any suggestions would be helpful. I am thinking maybe bubble wrap, then wrapped in a hot water heater blanket and then maybe wrapped again into a wool blanket, as I have a few of them.
So what, if any, changes did you end up making?
I have also decided to change out my cool looking camo bag-type purse thing for something less conspicuous, as in a ladies purse, that will actually look more casual than a camo bag. The camo bag will suffice for holding other things. dunno, still thinking about that.
I can imagine a situation where I may have to leave a larger purse/bag behind, and just grab something small to conceal to make a quick getaway, but that's just my doom-mind thinking there. haha
The thing about PRE-pare is just that, if you are not PRE-pared, then it is too late - Whether it be for weather related emergency or otherwise.
TN, That bag is nice, been considering one. The Sig is great, however, I already have three Mustangs - if not for that I would get the Sig. I like the idea of the bump key kit.... have used them, but did not consider that for a BOB... Cheers, RickO
It is newer, but I had a bigger Bug out Bag I still carry in my car with more food, water, blankets, clothes, a AR-10 or AR-15 Gov't Carbine, M-6 Scout in .22 Hornet and .410 with various louads , car essentials, Glock 17, magazines and ammo, night vision, binoculars, a Gerber fixed blade hunting knife, more para cord, a tarp, TP, compass, maps, a net book w/ global wireless cards, emergency crank radio and flashlight, and such all in a MOLLE soft frame pack and have used many thing many times.

I use coolers and cardboard boxes with spray foam lined with window screen, but have found a small portable heater in my trailer set at 37 degree's (auto on and off) with a car battery and inverter charged by a small, $80 solar panel I mount on the side to keep snow off keeps everything good to go.
Ricko- The mustang and the sig 238 are very, very, very similar, in fact they take the same mags! The bump keys and I have several rakes and tension rods with it just in case I need to get out of somewhere or in somewhere discretely, if no one knows you were there then no one looks and in a survival situation they would come in very handy as well as when I lock my dumb arse out of my house. Take a while to learn to bump schlage's but you can. I love when people tell me what is in their kits because there is always something you will need, but forgot about. PM me for my #, would love to chat.
The bag was made by Voo-Doo Tactical, but all the bags, brand name or not are made in the same factory in Malaysia by a kid sadly. Same with Tactical 5-11. I order my Tac 5-11 from the company that makes the stuff for Tac-5-11 for 1/10 the cost.
Thanks, both great ideas ... I understand it all except the window screen ... Is that for the top? or ? If the cardboard box has a lid then do you spray that lid also ... Or??
Thanks!!
Does the 'other company' make the voodoo bag too? Message sent. Thanks again.
I have been working on my bag all day -- trying to downsize, but had to break out another bag, and now I think I need another bag. hahaha - and that does not include hardly any food except Survival pills, Coast Guard food bars, pack of gum, tic tacs, and when they get here, some Millennium Bars//5 yr. shelf life. I may try to fit one MRE in if I can. I have a smaller gun in smaller bag, and Glock in larger bag, so I need an even bigger bag for my PS90. LOL
Hmmm not finding the bag on their website ... This is closest I can find, but I know that's not it: hmmmm

well if it may make some happy, I will add that I also was attempting to determine which face value - and how much - of PM's to pack if I had to evacuate. Everyone's situation is different. Do you leave valuables behind, or do you take them. If it's heavy to carry and you have little time/choice of which to take -- which do you choose? All, of course, a personal decision based upon value, weight, denomination, timeliness in quickly grabbing to go, etc. Several situations could be played out, none of which I like, but that is why they call it PRE-pare. PM's are included in a PREParation plan, and those who don't PREpare would otherwise be running around like a fowl without head. There are many possible situations across the country and world which could use a prep-plan - be it weather-related or otherwise. Having lived near coast much of my life, I often had to make these very decisions on an irregular basis due to incoming hurricanes. Disaster preparedness is something to think about, for sure.

Can't beat the 5.11 bag, huh?
You have found a niche for nearly everything possible for the quick scat.
How often have you found the need?
