I recently received an email from 3V Gear advertising their popular Paratus Bug Out Bag. I have one of these bags and it’s an extreme value at around $85. I also featured the Paratus in the survival kit series several weeks back. I have duplicated the email below for your benefit.

The Paratus 3-Day Operator’s Backpack is the original backpack that 3V Gear started with. When Dan, the owner of 3V Gear, wanted to build a bugout bag for he and his wife, he couldn’t find anything that wasn’t hundreds of dollars or very poor quality. He felt there should be a better answer and that was the birth of the Paratus and 3V Gear.
Over the years, the Paratus has been refined and updated. With thousands of bags sold, almost 1,000 5-star reviews, and countless professional reviews, the Paratus has become the go-to backpack for a bugout bag.
PARATUS 3-DAY OPERATOR’S PACK FEATURES
I love this bag for the all the features it offers and for the great price, but I’m not a big fan of the new YKK cljps, and I have found out from miles of hiking with many different packs, a good padded waist strap is a must. Being able to transfer weight loads from shoulders to hips and back is a great way to keep the fatigue from getting to you. That’s the one thing I wish this pack had a good thick padded waist strap. Other than that it’s an outstanding pack and a great value. Thanks for all the info and updates on all the deals JR
Does anyone know if there are straps on the bottom, or attachment points, to attach a sleeping system or what-have-you?
I contacted the maker, and they didn’t know…..which was odd.
