Your Go bag

I searched survival bags on youtube.com last night and found lots of good information. One thing that I picked up that never occurred was unrolling ducttape onto a old credit card which makes it smaller for packing. This guy had done the same thing for toilet paper. But he didn't show how he rolled the tp, i assume just around itself.

Just in case anyone out there is still looking into bags I built up my basic BOB in the new 5.11 RUSH 24 pack today and I'm amazed at all the crap I have in that thing with room left over.

That's a really great bag. Did you see it in person before you bought it? I was looking at it on their site and in no way thought that the pictures they showed of the bag represented a bag with over 2000 cubic inches of space.

I think that's about perfect for a go bag minus a primary weapon.

I actually bought one, thinking it was about the same size as my MAX Pygmy Falcon, for my wife. When we got it I realized it was a large, well built bag and tried to keep it for myself. Alas, she prevailed and kept it. Finally got mine in today.

I have 3 day supply of food and water, canteen, rain gear, first-aid trauma kit, 100 ft 550 cord, folding shovel, flashlight, crank flashlight with radio, various odds and ends, plus my Henry Survival Rifle with both mags loaded, plus 100 rds of .22 ammo. Got to get a camelbak reservoir still to put in it. I love it!

But can you "go" in it?

Sorry, Pun, I couldn't resist. I was talking to a guy about this the other day and his was more of an INCH bag, AND it was filled with (according to him) almost two gallons of water, two handguns, an 870, two boxes of ammo for each of the handguns, 50 rounds of double ought, birdshot, and all the other stuff that normally goes into one. I laughed and said I hope to God he never has to run from anything.
