BOL - Bug Out Location (A predertermined (hopefully well stocked) location that you would head to in case of an emergency)
BOV - Bug Out Vehicle (Get you to your BOL) BIB - Bug In Bag (Similar to a BOB, but is designed to get you home - like if you are traveling) PSK - Personal Survival Kit FAK - First Aid Kit EDC - Every Day Carry (this can be used to refer to items you always have with you: firearm, knife, mult-tool, etc.) This one always throws me when I come across it in a post: SAK - Swiss Army Knife Last edited by kev; 02-27-2008 at 01:06 PM..

Great thread...being somewhat new to this Survivalism stuff, I am constantly running across those acronyms that takes me forever to figure out. I have seen EOTWAWKI also as TEOTWAWKI (the first T being "The)
Kev, Have you considered making a "acronym" page (dictionary) so to speak?
