How to Organize the Cords in Your Bug-Out Bag

• https://www.theorganicprepper.com, Aden Tate

Whereas the Franks would have had matches, wool, and canned food, we have different options available to us today, and one of those things is electronics.

You likely have a Baofeng UV-5R, a solar panel, a crank charger, and maybe even a tablet stowed away in your bug-out bag.

But if you're going to carry electronics with you, then you also have to make sure that you have the cords to keep them charged and functional. Just throwing all of those cords into your BOB results in a terrible mess that not only leads to slower access, but also leads to things being hooked and pulled out of your BOB when you go to retrieve a cord.

Imagine being in a rocky area, and when you go to pull out the cord for your solar charger, it hooks onto your spare fire striker and causes it to drop deep into a recess between a few boulders. Then, you have no means of accessing it.

Perhaps you think that's far out. Ha, perhaps you have better luck than I do. I'm the guy that can be standing atop a mountain and have a magical gust of wind knock me over and send my trekking poles bouncing toward a cliff edge (I caught them!).

So, to prevent all of this, today I wanted to show you how I keep all of my cords to my electronic devices situated within my bug-out bag.
