There\u2019s a disturbing trend going on.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m not talking about armed lunatics shooting up innocent civilians, (although what I have to say relates to that).<\/p>\n
I\u2019m talking about guys concerned about their preparedness (maybe you), who who pay lots of attention to what goes INTO a bug-out bag<\/em>...<\/p>\n ...but almost ZERO attention to the BAG itself.<\/p>\n This is playing with fire!<\/p>\n Because, with all due respect, you can pack your bag with the finest survival supplies, but if the bag falls apart, (as most WILL in the first hours of any real survival situation) ...<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ...that gear is worth nothing to you.<\/p>\n So, before you buy ANY bag, consider this:<\/p>\n Pay close attention to the fabric. The military uses 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon for a reason.<\/p>\n It's almost impossible to rip. Water resistant. Super high abrasion resistant. Tough as nails.<\/p>\n That's the only fabric you should consider too.<\/p>\n If you already have a pack, check it. If it\u2019s not 1000 Cordura do yourself a favor and replace it now. Because in a crunch, it\u2019ll only bust open, spill your gear into the mud and leave you stranded.<\/p>\n Another vital factor is the stitching.<\/p>\n Great fabric means nothing if it falls apart at the seams. Make sure your pack is stitched together with heavy duty nylon. It's expensive and labor intensive, which is why so few packs are put together this way.<\/p>\n Almost all of those pretty hundred-dollar hunting packs sold online or down at your local sporting goods will bust apart at the seams when put to any rigorous test.<\/p>\n And please, forget about the \"book bags\" from WalMart. This is your life we're talking about. And your loved ones too. What's that worth to you? Invest in a pack that performs when you need it most.<\/p>\n Okay another vital consideration is: zippers. This is the Achilles heel of most packs. Even good packs. The zippers burst under pressure, or break teeth and get jammed, or snag hopelessly on the material.<\/p>\n Get a pack with non-fail zippers that can handle extreme pressure.<\/p>\n If you want MORE in a \u201cbugout bag\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026then go HERE<\/a>!<\/p>\n For a safe life...<\/p>\n Bob Pierce<\/p>\n President, FightFast\/TRS<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There\u2019s a disturbing trend going on.
