2. Choosing a Light Weight Bug Out Bag That Will Fit
Everything
You will probably need a pack that will allow you
to carry enough gear to cover most situations in
a bug out. Don’t overdo it though.
If you go hiking much, you know one simple
mantra: “When feet become miles, ounces
become pounds.”
3. Determine what you need in capacity:
• Bigger isn’t always better.
• Bug Outs are stressful and are not the time for
added weight.
• My recommendation: Learn skills, reducing
gear, reducing size and weight.
4. Property Fit Your Pack For Amazing Comfort
The proper fit of a bag is critical, so measure
your torso, NOT OVERALL HEIGHT. Everyone
is different, and your height to body ratio is not
proportional to someone else. Your torso is the
only proper way to measure for your bag.
5. Measuring for a pack is easy
Measure at the base of your neck to your
hipbone. This will give you the measurement
that most manufacturers use on their packs.
Don’t get the wrong pack, thinking it will be
“good enough.”
6. Get To Your Gear Easily When It Matters By
Choosing The Right Pack!
The last thing you want to do when bugging out
or going home is to unload every bit of the
contents just to get to your gear. Get to your
gear easily when it matters by choosing the
right pack and understanding its parts. Get a
pack designed to organize and
compartmentalize everything so it is easy to get
to your stuff.
