CLOTHING Module

Urban Bug Out Bag


The items in my Clothing Module are meant to compliment my bug out load out clothing that I
wear during a bug out scenario. The module is stored inside of the bug out bag itself in a purple packing
cube. Purple equates to Clothing in “The Color of Prepping” organization concept. Clothing items are
prone to taking up a lot of space in your pack. To help minimize this, I have tried to leverage ultralight
gear that is lightweight and compact. The items in the Clothing Module itself also follow the Gray Man
approach.

A military provides a lot of applications of use in a bug
out scenario, such as rain protection and even makeshift
shelter. In my particular region, I feel that the poncho
look would stick out more in an urban environment,
since it's not as common in the city, but could be
leveraged more once you have evacuated the city. Also, if
