These are titles that discuss a variety of well-rounded survival skills. I’ve divided these suggestions into six main categories: Survival Skills, Shelter, Water, Fire, Food, First Aid, and Documents. This is far from an exhaustive list, but it is a great start for anyone interested in building a good foundation on a Bug Out Kindle. When it comes to stocking your Kindle or tablet with survival-related information, I definitely have some recommendations. But, I have most of them on my Kindle just in case. I’ll hate to leave it and many of my other favorite hardcopy books behind when I bug out.
RAFT SURVIVAL ULTIMATE GUIDE MANUAL
I’ve dissected that manual for more than 30 years and it never gets old. No digital reader will ever replace the feeling of sitting back in my favorite chair and leafing through the tattered pages of my very early Boy Scout Handbook that I picked up at a flea market for fifteen cents when I was a kid. Most hand-crank emergency radios now have a USB charger built in, which will power the Kindle, and there are devices these days that give you the option of charging via hand-crank or solar. Solar power and manual crank USB chargers are readily available as well. A durable waterproof sleeve or map case will suffice at a bare minimum. Military-grade cases and covers are readily available online that are shock-resistant and waterproof – two absolute bug out necessities. If both of these options were not possible, a Kindle would not be included in my Bug Out Bag.

Their fragility and short battery life have always fallen short of the demanding requirements that a bug out situation presents.
I’ve traditionally been very anti-digital when it comes to packing electronics in my Bug Out Bag. Digital readers such as the Amazon Kindle have been a game-changer in how we buy, store, organize, and read books. Until recent years, carrying millions of pages of survival information in your Bug Out Bag was not only impractical, it was impossible. However, an entire survival library of information at your fingertips just may be the one survival tool in your Bug Out Bag that saves your life. I’m not at all suggesting that the practice and study of survival skills should or can be replaced by ebooks. But for those who don’t, access to that survival knowledge only has to weigh six ounces - the weight of an Amazon Kindle. This is true for those who practice and study survival and preparedness skills on a regular basis. Here’s the good news: survival knowledge weighs nothing. This article is written with that same conviction - to help further prepare you for when the unthinkable knocks at your front door. If so, you already have a head-start in building your own personal 72-hour disaster kit to help you and your family survive a potential bug out evacuation.
