Default Bug Out Bag--What are all the pockets for!!??

I know I'm not the only one on here that has bought the S&W M&P Bug out bag deal. Looking at this bag, Just what the heck are all the pockets, tie downs, elastic straps for? Which pocket do I put the gun in? Which one is for the 1st aid kit? Where do I put my lunch? If I utilize every pocket/strap on this bag, I won't be able to carry anything else.

I do not have one but with this type of bag the largest, most central pocket usually holds the gun. The first aid kit may fit in several places but better toward the outside, where it is easily accessed if needed.

Use your imagination for the rest of the features - magazines, flashlight, knife, earplugs, your stash of gold coins, breath mints.

Depends on why you believe you need to "bug out".

I would think if you put that into practice your primary firearms would be on your person because something has gone very wrong. I guess you could store a spare firearm in there if you feel you need it.

as stated above you would have first aid kit, magazines, spare ammo, food source, water purifying equipment, maybe some rain gear, medications that you may need, etc.....

When I was on the street there were people that carried bug out bags that only had items in there like first aid kit, tourniquet, spare magazines for rifle and pistol, extra ammo, maybe a snack and bottle of water in case stuck somewhere for a longer period of time.

All depends on what you are bugging out from.

They are some Chinese bag designer's idea of what an American bug out bag ought to look like, after the concept was explained to him in English which he did not understand real well.

I have a half dozen "range bags" that I think were designed by the same guy. My usual approach is to use the little pouches and compartments that actually add value to my range experience and rip the rest out.

Well, in mine, I stuck a bunch of stuff that I forget I put in their, and then I need something for a particular purpose, and I go thru three other similar bags before I find what I’m looking for . . .

Change of underwear, liquid soap in small bottle, wash rag, small sharpening stone, small compass, small bottle of hydrogen peroxide, very small first aid kit, Ibuprofen. Several pairs of rubber gloves in a zip-loc bag. A few extra zip-loc bags are very handy if you have the room.
2 flashlights with spare batteries. One should be a head light.
TOILET PAPER Minimum of one roll. 3 is better. Mash them flat. Put in separate zip-loc bags.

You might better off to “ bug in “ for a while at times.

Being able to start a fire can be very important. I made a fire starter kit that includes strike anywhere matches wrapped in toilet paper and paraffin stored inside a pill bottle, bic lighter, cotton balls soaked with vaseline jelly in a baggie, some dryer lint in a baggie and maybe some other item as I am working from memory at the moment. It takes up very little room and it lightweight. Sootch00 has a good video for making fire starter kit.

I am not a fan of elastic on something I'm going to keep around for a long time. My pistol bags have pockets with velcro. No elastic loops for mags.

No real bug out bag or plan here. I am of an age where I have a bug off plan instead.

The pockets hold "Cool Factor". Nothing in this world is "Tactical" without "Cool Factor", and nothing not "Tactical" is worth a hoot. Get yours NOW!!!

Those are for a person who is thinking about bugging out. He is thinking maybe I should have a bag with all the pockets and when I learn more about bugging out I will know what is supposed to go in the pockets and then he will have to do some thinking and research on exactly when to bug out and then do some thinking and research on where to bug out to. Obviously bugging out is not simple.

If you used all of the pockets and tie-down areas you probably wouldn’t be able to find anything again. Just sayn’. :-)

The large pocket w/the removeable H-shaped Velcro strap holds the handgun. Adjust the H-strap on the internal Velcro panel to hold/present the handgun to suit your preference (handgun is held by the H-strap's horizontal bar).
As previously mentioned, use the remaining pockets/pouches for whatever items you deem most necessary.
Love the Shield Plus, it's my EDC and I've picked up a couple of spares to rotate between car, EDC & training.

I made a list of horrible events and discovered each had separate needs for survival. Each requires a separate plan.
Most require Hunkering Down and not Bugging out.
Time is the trickiest variable to determine.

The scariest scenario is when a disaster is followed by civil unrest. Double Whammy. Think Katrina; I was there. Getting out of the area is the only reasonable alternative. How to get out of the area becomes increasingly difficult. Freeways are not moving. Streets have gangs. If you have IT, they want IT. Your food, your water, your money, your car, your soul.

Motorcycles and boats become valuable tools.
I don't spend much time prepping for these. Too depressing.

I personally have a "GET HOME" bag in the car. That's for when you need to get home to your Hunker Down location.

Alcohol, cigarettes, medications, and water purification devices are my trade items. I wouldn't trade Ammo because of fear they would use it on me.

I have tried to organize our Cul-de-Sac. We've been really lucky with neighbors. I'm convinced that coordination with others for self-defense is the only reasonable plan.

This entire topic is toxic. Thinking about Armageddon too much is not conducive to good mental health. It makes you paranoid and mistrustful of everyone around you.

Prescut

You've never been on a 6 day hike apparently.

Packs generally don't have pockets or straps for certain things but you'll figure out pretty fast where the memory foam mattress and water bottle can be stored.

When in Navy boot camp we were issued a sea bag full of gear. Then they showed us the locker where it had to be stowed. I said to myself there is no way all this is going in there, but it did. They have refined the process for 200 years.

I never was a boy scout but I've done some extended wilderness hikes.

One of the dealers I frequent sells them for $25-35. I do documentary photography and go into some rather dangerous areas. I have 2 that I use as camera bags and put Domke padded compartments in them to protect my gear. I Cary cameras, lenses and film ( yes I still shoot B&W film ). You’ll also find a 45 or 9mm tucked away in them too. They’re really good and cheap multi purpose bags.

Darn, I had hoped to learn things, not get belly laughs. So much the better.
Glad I looked, as this is a really fun thread.
Mine is too heavy GI issue canvas, and heavy with a basic load of 7.62x51.
Could I be wrong? Nobody mentioned Scotch?

This is what I use. It's actually a Boyt brand bag for shotgun shells, but with the right compartments added and a pistol/revolver sleeve or two it makes an excellent range bag. I've used this for years, but I've also seen people use camera bags, gym bags, etc. I take a total pass on "tactical" range bags.

I'm not sure it will hold a bottle of MacAllan Scotch, but I'd be willing to give it a try some time - after the range of course! :-)

If you can't figure out what to put in the pockets ... Do what I'm Gonna Do
Stay Put ! We call it "Hunkering Down and Riding Out the Storm"

I got no place to run to . All my food , guns and ammo is in this house .
I'm too old to run ... at 73 , when it looks like you're not gonna make it you got to get mean ... plumb Mad-Dog Mean ... you don't loose your head and you don't give up , you don't run ...
you make a stand and fight ...that's just the way it is .

The problem with putting a bottle of MacAllen in your bug out bag is that in all of the excitement of trying to escape the fall of mankind, it could get broken or stolen. And THAT would be truly apocalyptic!

It takes up very little room and it lightweight. Sootch00 has a good video for making fire starter kit.
A couple of butane lighters, toilet paper, soap, and a Silcock Valve wrench should be in the bag.

I'll tell you what I carry in mine. Tin foil for making a hat (you gotta protect your brain), dehydrated water, and my X-ray glasses as soon as they arrive. I got a smoking deal on a pair from an ad in the back of one of my comics.

Not going anywhere.
I started this thread pretty much tongue in cheek more than being serious. The only reason I have the bag is because it came with the gun and 5 magazines(especially the 5 mags) for less money than Smith had the msrp on its website for just the gun and 2 mags. It will probably spend most of its time hanging in the corner, empty, with my other range bags.
