Seven steps to finding the ultimate survival backpack

By Terrance Franklin


Selecting the right survival backpack can be just as significant as the rest of your gear; carrying your carefully constructed bug out bag items inside a cheap backpack will simply leave you frustrated when it falls apart immediately. Keep the following tips on your mind when picking your bug out bag.

Material: Ensure that the cloth of one's survival bag is manufactured out of thick material of top quality. It shouldn't rip easily. A few bags are even cut-proof and defend you against thieves in populated locations.

Shoulder and chest straps: Don't ignore the need for good ties. Ask your outdoor shop if you can try the bag with a bit of weight in it first. This will offer you an idea of how the bag rests and whether it's comfortable. The bag also needs to have good chest straps to correctly fasten the bag to the body.

Bright colors: You don't necessarily need to buy a bright yellow survival backpack, but try and select one that is easy to spot. In case of emergency, you will want to be spotted easily. Blending in through camouflage colors is not something you want.

Pockets: The right bug out bag will have multiple pockets, sections and drink compartments. The bag should maximise space and convenience. There's nothing worse than having pockets in awkward places that you can't get to easily. Particularly, pay attention to how many drinking compartments are available and where they are located. You want to be able to drink easily and often, rather than having to stop and take the bag off your back first.

Size: Don't just buy the biggest backpack you see, thinking that it reflects good value. Think about the contents of your bug out bag first. What are you taking with you in case of an emergency? You want to be able to easily carry the contents of your bag. Give yourself a bit of extra space by selecting a slightly bigger bag, just in case. Don't overdo it! Think about getting a bag that has a small adjustable compartment, so that you can expand it if you need.

Frame and load distribution Not only do you want to get the bag that is perfect for the volume of belongings you might be carrying, you will probably choose to pick one that will assist you to do this comfortably for your body type. According to your packing selection, take into consideration where all the things will slip into the bag. The weight ought to be balanced so your bag doesn't place unwanted stress on your back. There are various survival backpacks that happen to be built to be 'breathable'; to put it differently, you will find a small space in between the bag and your back that will permit perspiration to leave. Added comforts like these can make a positive change.

Rainproof: Any quality survival backpack is rainproof. Remember that in a survival situation you can definitely find yourself in almost any weather circumstances.

This listing covers the main considerations you must take into account when choosing a survival backpack. Ensure you cover your personal needs with care; every situation is unique, there's no 'one-size-fits-all' in terms of the best backpack!
