Hi I am new to this but i just want to start to get some things together to take care of my family in case of an emergency. I am really looking to start putting together my bug out bag, but i have no clue as to what needs to go in them. I look forward to learning more and hope to be prepared one day soon.

Welcome aboard ! Like Clyde said, we kind of need to know what you are prepping for so we can help you out. Do you have any gear ? Are you a hiker or backpacker ? You would be surprised on what you can use with the stuff you have around the house. A lot of good people and good ideas here.
I was mainly wondering if it is better to buy a bug out bag or assemble my own. I really have no idea what all is needed in a bug out bag. But i hope to get alot more education from this site.
Im not really a hiker or a camper but i am very adaptable and will do what i need to take care of my wife and 2 kids. My kids arw small ( 7 & 4) so i just want to get ideas and make plans without scaring my wife and kids.
I would build one tailored to your needs. My bug out supplies are in totes for easy load into the truck, I do carry a three day get home bag {GHB} all the time. Everyone is different so take a look around and see what works for you.
Here is an idea of a GHB, Medical, food, water, stove, lights, radio, fire kit, poncho, emergency blanket, tool kit, duct tape a must, water filter, bandana, t.p. and wet wipes, and some paracord.
I do like the idea of a 3 day assault pack (get home bag)! I would probably put a .38 or similar in mine. I know the laws in the communist state of california blow, but I would rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6!
Ya i carry it every where.
Thats a good idea ! I have been carrying a GHB for a year or so and i am always using something out of it. It has gotten me and friends out of minor jams many of times. I wont leave home with out it.
Welcome to the forum there's a great group of smart people here one can really learn a lot.
Welcome Edge!
You an find an in depth bug bag list under "equipment" 2nd page called "creating a bug out bag"
Personally id agree with buding your own. Not every bug bag is created for your specific needs/climate/or region that is "ready made"
