Making a bug out bag for yourself, as an adult, seems easy. You know your exact needs, you’re a fully grown human which means you can carry a good load, and you’re not (likely) a picky eater. Everyone in the household should have their own bug bags, even pets (though they're going to need your help ...).
But what about making a bug out bag for kids? It's not quite as easy. Kids can't carry as much as grown-ups. They don't always know exactly what they need. And they are (likely) a picky eater.
Talk to your kids about what you’re doing, and why. When I talk to my toddler about her bag she says “bag for emergencies”. She may not fully understand what that means, but she heard me and that’s really all that matters. When it comes time for us to grab our gear, I can tell her we’re grabbing our bags that we use for emergencies, and she’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. The word "emergency" won't be quite as scary if kids know that they're prepared for them.
Kids are smart. And they're listening, even if you think they aren’t. Get them involved in the whole process and they’ll take a lot more responsibility for their own bug out bag, instilling in them early the confidence that comes with preparedness.
