Ok. Bug out Bag / Car bag. This is going to be a long thread. Keep in mind this is a bag/kit designed around having a bag that you can throw in your car and use from there. Not a gun bag or a backpack which I will likely touch on at a later time.

This sprung from the observation of people who were stuck in traffic near DC because of bad weather and some didn’t even have the means to keep themselves hydrated, let alone warm. This thread goes overboard on that concept with the idea of, if i have to make it X miles…

what might i need?

So here goes. My main bag is massive. I wanted something like a duffle that i could move in and out of my car as needed.

MH makes amazing tents and bags. The color isnt ideal, but for something that will be in the car its fine.

I bought about four different packing pod styles. First Spear summit bags, mystery ranch zoid, Patagonia black holes, and spiritus systems wantons.

All of them are pretty well made and all serve a kind of unique purpose with what your packing.

If i had to choose the best, it’s between the mystery ranch and the Patagonia. If it was purely for rucking, it would be spiritus.

So clothes. The first thing i tried to keep in mind is layers. Rain/wind/ cold.
