Thoughts on a bug out bag, opinions/feedback requested

So, I have a couple of friends at work, really a couple, married and all. Tommorrow is her last day before she goes on maternity leave. I'm kind of in awe- she seems to be getting bigger by the day at this point. So I asked the male half of the couple if the birthing bag was already packed and in the car, and he said it was. But he called it a bug out bag.

And that got me to thinking. Is birth a bug out?

I would say "yes and no" a birthing bag is technically a bug-out-bag, something packed/ready for an emergency but... it's more specific to a certain short term need as opposed to a general purpose bug-out-bag which is more encompassing (stuff) and for longer term (my view).

and Congrats to your friends!

may life be fuller and more wonderful for them (and lucky and blessed)

suggestion here, keep bug-out-bags in trunks or safely locked up on cars, mine was stolen..

low-lifes/thieves look for them...

What I was actually thinking is, is being born a bug out? You are being force to relocate from your accustomed location by a crisis with no plan and no intell. Are we all just refugees of the womb?

Yes I'm on allergy meds. I'm a little dingy right now.

And actually, Fallopian Tube Refugees sounds like a pretty good band name.
