No offense, but I've watched dozens of these BOB videos and I have to disagree with one thing which I see over and over: If you are going to use a olive drab/camo or black "tactical" bag - you might as well paint a big bulls eye on it. Because when the SHTF - the survivalist/rambos are probably never going to hear the shot and the last thing they're going to see is someone stripping off their gear. Real camoflage in a SHTF situation should make you look like the least prepared individual.

@BillGoose1313 most folks dont use their kit. They buy what looks "tactical" or everyone else says to buy online. There's a reason i show civilian backpacking rucks in this series. They dont have to be hot pink and red, but earth toned. Camo is also dependent on your AO and plans. A blue and grey north face ruck may be better suited for someone in Denver..while in BFE Texas a camo military ruck may be best. The most important thing is that the pack fits and you USE IT!

frame packs? 3000 cubic inches? what are you hiking cross country? there is a readon that NO other bug out bags on youtube are that big more like a maxpedition vulture II AT MOST!!!

@Goer099

I'll lay money down all the pogues with the maxpedition vulture saint tried humping them for any distance past the bed room mirror or digital camera. Work 50 miles form home and gotta walk back.. you'll want a pack that will hold what you need for that time frame...not a day pack. But then again...its hard to face reality when many dont get out past their front door.

not true, shelter is relative to conditions, you can make it outside perfectly fine without shelter if it is not too cold or wet. or too hot in the extreme. and you can also go a long time without food unless your a pussy. water is the main thing for absolute survival

[delta69alpha]

@spicecrop well as we all know,,we get to control the weather and when shtf/events/disaster's ..oh wait thats the HVAC controls LOL.

Shelter is a broad term. It is your clothing on your back to your tent, to your home, to the debris hut you made. As to food. Pussy or strong man, a person can only go so far, and only do so much w/out it . Hump a pack for 6-8 hours day for 5 days with out food, Let me know how far you went each day,what your energy levels are, and how effective you can be.

@wheelori814 yawn

food,water,shelter..shelter,wa­ter food, water food shelter.

Pick your order. As long as you have those 3 core items covered your good to go.

Also watch the rest of the series were we explain that clothing is shelter, and fire and so forth, Thanks for being anal and wanting to split hairs. D69

@Drum41NAB nice as any person could be.......;)

[shenanigansIRA]

@spicecrop you can survive a good while with no food but its not an intelligent thing to do. Its about survival not being rambo its not realistic

[ToddIngram1000]

@Goer099 plus, I've seen dozens of bug out bags that aren't under 2000 cubic inches. Most are alice packs, some civilian, and even large molle rucks.

[ToddIngram1000]

@Goer099 try loading 3 days of food and water in that pack and see if you put anything else in them. I tried to load all of my bug out gear into an assaul pack, and it sucked. I walked 1 mile with it and my shoulders and back were throbbing. Pick packs are the way to go.

@BillGoose1313 I agree, i would rather look unprepared than look like a hunter or rambo.

I say wear all black and move at night if you can...

[WheelsOfJudgement]

@Goer099 I went through SERE with an ALICE pack. 5 days in the woods, hiking (to put it nicely) through 4 feet of snow in february, with snow shoes was very doable with this pack, loaded to the seams. I can't say that it was too much. If anything, it was a little small.
