Prepping to Survive is a post where I explain different things you'd need to survive. It's more than just things to buy, it's how to be prepared.
I did furry friends last time (it's been a minute since I posted prepper stuff) and because I recently had my baby girl I thought I would post what I will put in her baby bug out bag.
I did start her B.O.B but all that's in it is some diapers, a couple outfits, and some first aid. I'm missing quite a bit.
Bag-
I would use a smaller but still good size backpack for the bug out bag. They make molle backpacks that smaller bags can attach to. I think it would be best for baby to have their own backpack, because a small one to attach might be too small. I would suggest trying to find one that whoever isn't carrying baby can carry on their front.
Clothes-
Because babies grow so fast I would suggest putting in clothes that are a size or two too big. I put in 12 month onesies, 9 month pajamas and outfits, and then a couple onesies in her size now. It's Texas, it's hot, we can just put her in a onesie. However, for the funsies of this post I'm going to find some outfits I would absolutely love to buy and put in her B.O.B.
Diapers-
Same thing. I would suggest putting a handful of ones in her current size, and then a couple of a size bigger, two sizes bigger, maybe even three. However, cloth diapers are going to be your best option. You can wash them and they are reusable and adjustable most of the time.
Wipes-
Cloth wipes. Reusable and have many many uses besides just to wipe the baby booty. You can also keep a couple regular packs too. I like water wipes because A) they don't seem to dry out as fast, B) They have better ingredients, and C) if you have to use them for other stuff they don't taste or smell bad.
Formula-
There's individual packets of infant formula and there is also ready made formula. The problem with ready made is if you don't use it all it's just a waste unless you can refrigerate it. Plus it's a little heavy, but honestly with powder formula you still need water so I don't think it would be much different.
Don't forget the burp cloth!
Food-
Now depending on baby's age you might need other snacks too. Baby food pouches are easy and light, so I would definitely do a bunch of those. You can do a small container of puffs and other light snacks.
Water-
Again, depending on the age you might need to include extra water.
First aid-
Comfort items-
Pacifiers, a lovey, blanket
Other useful stuff-
Carrier-
Now how are you going to carry baby? Obviously in a car you have a car seat, but what if you have to get out of the car? What if you have to walk or run? Carrying a heavy clunky baby carrier is no fun.
You can try a stroller. Pros? Places to put things and you don't have to carry baby. Cons? It's clunky and not really ideal for having to run away or go on rough terrain. You can try it and then have something to baby wear in case the going gets too tough.
A better option I think, would be a wagon. Room to carry more stuff, they have all terrain wagons and a baby can lay down and sleep in it.
Otherwise I suggest a baby carrier for the front, this allows you to calm baby if needed, check on baby, and you can still wear a backpack. There are all kinds of tactical ones that have room for other things. Wanna attach the babies pacifier? Done. Want to hang a small toy or stuffie from it? Say less. They are pricey though.
The other option is to actually baby wear. You can use a wrap or a sling. I have yet to master this and honestly I doubt I'd be comfortable enough to run with my baby in a wrap that's attached to me. But that's really up to your comfort level. Get a wrap and practice practice practice. You never know when you might need to wrap them up and get out of dodge.
