Baby bug out gear.

[Votolom]

I know I'm new and have bean learning lots here. but the thought came to me about my son. I can fill a bag of diapers. So I well need something I can wash and reuse. I have been doing some looking and Fuzzibunz seem good they are snaps and one size fits from 7-35 pounds. My son is 14 month and is off the bottle and eats anything i give him. so i don't need to worry about formula. Any other ideas would be great.

I would suggest adding:
Diaper liners. They make the washing of *used* diaper a tad easier, to say the least.
A small bottle of soap for said cleaning - the 3x liquid should work well, even just a little.... and a couple of hanging pins and 550 cord to complete the 'set'.

Perhaps if you gave us an idea of how long you think you would be in Bug Out mode, it might help others to see what you face...

Do you have a carrier? I really liked the Ergo, which allowed me to tote my kids for quite a long time, and was more comfortable for me (short round woman) than a baby backpack. If you are toting the BoB your partner can tote the kid if need be. And even if you have an off road stroller, always good to have a backup (ergo folds up very very compactly, as do many of the front-or-back carriers these days).

I did see that i could get linners for the fuzzibunz good to know about the cleaning tips. As for bug out time, well in a real emergancy who knows but just as going out it would only be like one night. i work to much. yes I have a off road stroler. Im 6'5" and got thw biggest one I could so I didnt have to hunch over.

I"m in the same situation myself only with a new born, i'm currently working on a bob out for him.
Here is the list that I have come up with:
1, Diapers
2, Whipes,
3, Reusable Diapers
4, Powered formula (they also have the ready made stuff out now)
5, Pacifiers
6, Little Tummies: Great for gas pain and upset stomachs, safe for all ages
7, Baby Tylenol liquid form (in bulk)
8, Lightweight blankets: take up very little space, are washable, and are great for keeping sun and cold off the kiddo
9, Diaper rash cream: lots of it, forget hiding from the bad guys with a screaming kid!
10, Clothes (they are light)
11, Another thing i chose to add was rice cereal incase he starts on solid foods in the case of long term shtf

My wife and I use a product called g-diapers. They are cloth with a waterproof lining and Velcro tabs. You can buy reusable inserts, although my wife designed and made her own out of micro fiber cloth. They seem to work much better, although alittle thicker. When used in tandom with liners they can be easily washed. We have yet to take Jr camping, but in theory it works well, you can clean then in the sink with ease.
As for transportation; I too am 6'5" and our stroller is the biggest one I could find. So in order to save space my wife built a sling that gose over one shoulder and under the other. It allows the child to be carried in the "football" position quite comfortably and packs down extremely small.

As for the rice cereal - may I suggest you consider a "garlic press"? Great for squooshing adult food into baby friendly rations.
The good ones are stainless steel and easy to clean. When we went out, we used ours
to feed the kinder.
Much of the F/D food sold today is fairly soft to start with, but some brands are high is sodium.
Hope this helps in your planning.

Dude, I am a big fella, as well. I used one of these while hiking in the woods for years while my kids were growing to the point that they could hike on their own. The way this thing works, you can literally carry your kids for hours without feeling too much strain. You just have to figure out how to work in the rest of your kit for bug out around the backpack.

Just a couple of years and the proper upbringing, and your kids will be able to hike on their own.

We ended up going with the Boba as a carrier. It's similar to the Ergo, but has foot straps for an toddler to use. Plus, it's organic and made in the U.S. The downside was the lack of a sleep hood (which the Ergo has), but this appears to have been corrected in the new version.

My wife and I use two different kinds of reusable diapers for our youngest, but the only name I remember is bumgenius. They're one size fits all by means of a snap in front to fold them down and make them smaller. The outside is kind of a rubbery cloth and the inside is super soft cotton. You can get two different sized cloth liners to put in the pocket on the inside. They are fairly spendy but they last forever, we've had the sixteen or so we use since our youngest was first born.
