We’re going to have some fun designing and building a survival kit together. Here is Part 2 in the series where each week we will vote on a new item to add to the kit and see the results from the previous week.
Back when I first got involved in preparedness there were lots of discussions about “survival kits.” Nowadays, there are INCH bags, Bug Out bags, Get Home bags, and many more. I may be a bit old school but I’m going back to my roots and survival kit it is.
Here’s the bag we started with: The Paratus 3-Day Operator’s Pack. The Paratus is a popular pack and often considered the “Prepper’s Backpack” as it is high quality, rugged, extremely versatile, and budget-friendly. Cost is phenomenal at well under $100.
Here’s what we’re going to do. Every week(or so) I’ll post a category of products along with several choices to choose from. Everyone will vote on which items to put in the bag. When the voting is over I’ll buy the selected item and add it to the bag. With each new week, I’ll update what we’ve put in the bag until the kit is completed.
LAST WEEK: Last week we looked at water filtration and voted on three different portable filters. The Sawyer Mini Water Filter came out on top, has been ordered, and will be added to the bag as soon as it comes in.
THIS WEEK: We’ve got the bag, a water filter, so now let’s take a look at another category of survival gear: KNIVES
Vote below to chose which knife needs to go in the bag.
Loading ...Understand that each category – such as water filters, may be represented more than once as redundancy with some items is necessary.
