I used to say that Internal Frame packs were my favorite, but now I think hybrid packs are a better option (part internal frame and part external frame) for stability and weight distribution.
Just go over to last weeks podcast on how to pack your bug out bag for suggestions.
Carefully Choose Your Supplies for a Lightweight Multipurpose Bag.
Keep Your Energy Levels Sky High with the Proper Food and Water.
Clif Bar Energy Bar, Variety Pack, Chocolate Chip, Crunchy Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch, 2.4-Ounce Bars, 24 Count
Keep foods you normally eat. I recommend, based on your needs, a mix of the following:
Richland® Tealight Candles White Unscented Set of 125
Signal Flares provide a rescue beacon as well as a single use fire starter.
Tea light candles can make a fairly long lasting flame that has much utility.
You need Lighters (BIC is a favorite of mine) and waterproof matches in your bag for firestarting.
I would also keep a Ferro rodand a few kindling items as a backup.
Stay Safe and Secured by Having some Awesome Gear in Your Pack.
There are many different things that you can use to defend yourself. Kick some butt with the following items:
Survival knife: I have the Colt tactical survival knife (cheap option) or the Gerber LMF II Infantry Knife: The tool that will build almost all of your other tools. Keep one on you and one in your bag.
A Clean Prepper is a Fresh Prepper. A Fresh Prepper is a Happy Prepper.
When we prepare, navigation and knives are an obvious choice. I promise you that three days can make you reek of stink. Keep a few items that will build your comfort.
Emergency Zone Honey Bucket Style Toilet Complete Set with Liner and Chemicals
It is easy to go overboard with all of this stuff and end up with a 90 pound bag. DO NOT DO THIS. Unless you are a marathon runner, you probably aren’t making it 5 miles down the road with a bag of this size.
