(This has been a work in progress over the last year with only a few items left to purchase and test).

I keep going through my gear to pack a GO bag. I don’t believe in a bug out bag due to the methodology behind them even though they carry similar equipment. . A bug out bag is meant to take you somewhere. If you DONT have some where to go you become a refugee. A GO bag rather is an emergency bag, set up to last you 3 to 10 days depending on the amount of food packed. Its for an emergency resource.

Ive based mine around the below youtube clips.Ive changed out certain pieces of equipment to suit the area Im in and the brands available to me. The reason its taken so long to build are two reasons. One I live in a mobile home and have everything with me and two there were certain pieces of gear I wanted to upgrade too. Such as a square multicam tarp to set up a ranger diamond fly rather than a standard hootchie which is oblong. Square shapes let you set up a greater variation of tarps shapes.

Your not going to live off the land out there. This is a large ditch option to support you until help can be provided. As part of the P.A.C.E plan primary, alternate, contingency, emergency, this is the last E.

(its good to compare the difference between the third and fourth video pack contents)

(check out the bumbag first aid kits Em going to have to make one of these out of a 511 Rush Moab 3)
