The ULTIMATE Bug Out Bag
A few months ago I got to thinking: if money were no option, what type of Bug Out Bag could I make? What are the top-of-the-line products in each category that I would want? What would I include, what would I leave out? So after weeks of work I think I've created the ULTIMATE Bug Out Bag. It's jam packed, and probably a little bit over the top but that was the plan. Take a look and let me know what you think!
A couple of notes about the methodology behind the products chosen and the intent of this Bug Out Bag are in order:
- Cost was of no concern. I didn't limit myself to things I felt were the best value but instead to focus on the best of the best products.
- This BOB is heavy. I don't own all the items on this list (yet) but the Eberlestock pack is weighty just on its own (9 lbs 10 oz) I tried to get the numbers down by including some ultra-lite camping items like the tent and sleeping bag. I did it this way because I wanted a pack that was resilient enough to handle anything that could possibly be thrown at it and could carry a HUGE amount of stuff and thats the F4 Terminator. You might want to try a lighter pack.
- There is redundancy on some things. Yes, there are 4 lights. I think they are that important.
- To complete this pack you will still want to add items: clothing, documents, personal protection items, etc. I think the F4 is big enough to handle all that and then some.
- I only linked to those things on Amazon.com so that all the items are available from one place to make it easier for you to look at. Sometimes the prices fluctuate so I tried to but the best pricing I could find. If you click the link below you will see the current available price.
