Being relatively new to apocalypse preparedness my first project is : THE BUG OUT BAG
The bug out bag is a badge of honor to me regarding overall preparedness and as such I am looking forward to working on it.
Primary B.O.B.: Osprey Argon 85
I had purchased this pack two or three years ago to take backpacking. At the time I only had small day packs and couldn't really do any kind of long term backpacking. I sought the advise of a friend who I ll refer to as the outdoors bad-ass. I told him that I wanted to get a good long term backpacking backpack and wanted get the best. He suggested The osprey Argon 85.
He had used the pack for a whole range of outdoors adventures and had taken this pack with him the majority of the time. "It is the best pack I have ever owned" were pretty close to his exact words.
The next day I drove to REI and checked the pack out. The REI employee measured my back for fit and loaded up the pack to see how it felt.
The pack felt great and I was a little amazed at how light so much weight could feel. The pack was pretty damn expensive (around 400$) so I waited to use one of the REI 20% off coupons.
The pack splits into these three parts (Main pack on left, fanny pack/top cover in upper right, minimalist hydration carrier on botton right). The belt is custom molded which was pretty nice.
Ideal packed weight is around 60-70lbs.
