Another BB “store” scam. Spend 30 seconds on DuckDuckGo looking for one of the survivalist blogs BB has made fun of for years to find a real, useful “so-called” go bag.
Guaranteed less expensive and much better quality than anything BB suggests.

Posted sincerely, as someone who had 20 minutes to evacuate her house (sheriff’s order), with winds @ 50-60MPH, a 9-alarm fire less than one mile away, with two compass-points nothing but a wall of yellow smoke, a few caveats…
- Where are you heading to?
- What season is it when you have to leave?
- Are you looking for long-term or short-term survival situation?
- Are you leaving on foot or in a vehicle?
- Is there someone you will be taking care of (someone ill, a child, an elder) who will have special needs that must be accounted for when packing their bag?
All these have a bearing on your success.
Review of various prepackaged survival gear, the man’s frank overviews are priceless:
Hot dry, cold dry, at higher altitude:
Middle of North America-ish, 3-season (not winter):
Cold snowy maybe dry maybe not dry:
Respectfully submitted,
yr humble student who probably has not seen her last mandatory evac

I don’t know what sort of disaster this is prep for, but if it needs three bottle openers, count me in.
