That sounds like an interesting read- more interest generated since the Preppers show went on the air. Personally I like the tactical bug out bag I got at http://www.hurricanecamping.com since it is really a combination of survival items that I can use in most areas where I travel. I keep them stashed in the vehicles too.
Survive “72 hours” with that bugout bag ???
BY the looks of that photo, I could go for 72 DAYS with a bag THAT big !!!
