The search is over for a bug-out-bag!

You can put a generator on that platform, a cooler, a camp tent, an ATV, deer carcasses - anything!

Man - I want one of'em. Ideal for going out to the woods... no reason needed.

Just a note on some of those teardrop trailers. If you actually plan to sleep in the thing overnight you should try out the 'bed' first by actually laying in it. Most of them have little to no room to actually straighten your legs. This is fine if you can sleep like that or are very short. They do make extensions that extend the door on each side which help.

There is quite a club (user group) of the teardrop trailers who have rallies and camping weekends and such. Many of them that I know still pitch a tent to sleep in as it has more room.

Sleep in it? I thought it was like a giant purse.

You'd find mine outside the Hampton Inn.

Nice pack! Now you have to fill it up, these guys have some good tips.

I keep meaning to put a BOB together, but I'll probably wait until the rampaging hordes are at the door.

Barb, you are one funny lady!

J.Galt, thanks for that link. I put in my favorites for now, because it looks like a whole lot of info that I will peruse at a later time.

The bag should be here by the end of the week.

It's a nice bag for sure, but too big for a bug out bag (for me at least)

Hi Amy, Welcome to the forum!

You really do have to try these things on to get a feel for what's too big and what's too small. I am 6'2" and weigh somewhere around 250 lbs., so this seemed doable. I tried one on of approximately the same size at a local store last week, and it was not as huge as it looks on those little manikans in the pictures. Like I said, It will mostly just sit in the corner, ready to go if need be. And even if need be, it's going to be riding in a vehicle and not carried much. I did want a bag that COULD be carried if the situation called for it though. That's where duffle type bags fall short.

The bag arrived today, and I am very pleased with it. It is not as enormous as y'all might think. Syrapped on correctly, the top of the uppermost part of the bag is just below the top of my head. It rests comfortably on the hips. Extremely comfortable, and I believe it will hold everything that I need it to hold. If anyone is looking for a similar bag, I reccomend the e-bag site. Their prices for quality stuff is much lower than what can be found in stores.

Now the gathering of important items continues. This site is a great asset.
