Our story: built on preparedness, inspired by life
At Bert's Bug Out Bags, our journey began with a simple belief: being ready isn't just an option, it's a necessity. Life is unpredictable — from sudden storms to unexpected roadside emergencies — and I've always felt compelled to be prepared. That personal drive led me to create practical, affordable emergency kits designed for real families. We hand-build and organize every bag to cover the critical first 24-72 hours, ensuring you're not starting from zero when things go sideways.
Practical gear, real-world readiness
For us, utility is paramount. Every Bert's Bug Out Bag is crafted with a "no fluff" mindset, meaning only practical, essential gear makes the cut. We focus on what truly supports you during the first 24-72 hours of an emergency. From water purification to warmth and first aid, every item has a purpose, and each bag is organized for quick, intuitive access. I personally hand-assemble and check every single bag, ensuring it meets our high standards and will perform when it counts most.
Beyond gear: confidence, calm, control
The true purpose of Bert's Bug Out Bags goes beyond just providing supplies. We want to empower you with confidence and a sense of control when life throws the unexpected your way. Emergencies can breed panic and confusion, but being prepared brings calm. Our kits are designed to help you protect your loved ones and navigate challenging situations with a clear head. It’s not about fear; it's about readiness and the invaluable peace of mind that comes with it.
A father's promise: built in St. Louis
As a father myself, I understand the deep desire to protect your family. That's why every Bert's Bug Out Bag carries a "father-approved" stamp of quality and care. We're a small, online business rooted right here in St. Louis, Missouri, and we take pride in building kits that we'd trust for our own loved ones. We're committed to transparency, honest quality, and ensuring our products serve the real-world needs of families, travelers, and anyone seeking reliable preparedness.
