Recommended premade bug out bag for sale

Hello everyone,

Living in the New York Metro area ( i know not the safest of places but work is here) I would like to buy a bug out bag. I would prefer to buy one that is premade and ready to go, arrives in one package and then I can sleep easier at night. I would put it in my house or trunk of car.

I can not make my own because of time restrictions but know that I should have one.

So I was wondering if the knowledgeable members that seem to be in this section of the site have links to ones that they would recommend. I do not mind having to by two separate or even three bags to get all the items I need but I just cant go and buy each item individually.

As for price ideally looking for ones that are best value, not ones that are overpriced or have really high end stuff that isn't necessary.

If any members want to make one and sell it to me I would ok with that to.

Again I live in the metro New York area if that matters.

Interesting question you pose. If we can get a list of items together I might be able to find a small amount of sources. You should probably at least buy your own bag so you are happy with the fit and style. I would recommend a low profile backpack that is above the daypack size but below expedition size. Maybe like this or a little bigger. One you can cinch down when it isn't full so it is not so conspicuous.

Actually if you do a google for survival Kits, and disaster survival supplies there is absolutely huindreds of them for sale in the US of Haliburton, some junk, some cheap, some half decent.

try this site they have loads of pre packaged stuff including BOB's
Emergency Essentials

I am not affiliated with that site at all but I have been a happy customer for a couple years.

I realize that I can do a google search. But the point you made that there are hundreds of choices is exactly why I was hoping for some specific bag recommendations. I really am not knowledgeable in this area but do know one thing that I would be stupid to not have a BOB.

SO if there are any members who recommend or swear by a specific bag I would much appreciate it, as I am sure would many others looking for the same thing.

ok looking more at the premade kits they really look like garbage quality. I geuss this is going to be harder than i thought.

Your better off getting all the things you need individually. There are post' on here with recomended equiptment. It might be more of a pain for you, but that way you end up only with exactly what you need.

You have time to post on ATS but not time to print off a list and go to the store? WTH?

I've joked alot on here about these premade "survival" kits, but to be honest, if you need to trust your life on something, it sure as hell be gear you trust or you are just wasting your time.

This one has a "multi tool" and this one has a real good water filter, or this one has aqua blox. Come on. If you are smart enough to log on to ATS and smarter yet to know you need a BOB, you certainly should know that having cheap or unproven gear is worthless.

Check the rest of the survival forum, look for threads titled whats in your bob, or something like that. Find a good list that fits your needs, print and spend 2 hours to fill your bag. Also look for threads about how horrible life can be post sit-x in a major city. May want to look for new work.

Good luck and spend the time to buy quality items to fill your BOB instead of a premade POS. It could save your life.

try this link but i got to agree with other posters on this it would be better to make a list and spend a few hours buying your own items that you pick out plus these type of ready made kits are only in it for the money I highly doubt that they are worth the money when you can go to sporting good stores and buy better quility items

Best advise i cna give is make your own BOB. Your obviously smart enought to know you need one. next step is make one, ATS has many threads with lists of BOB materials, just go through and find what works for you and buy them. If you insist on buying pre-made i would go with military survival kits, you cn find them thoguh surplus dealer sites. but really its best to take the DIY aproach.

I,ve looked into this a little, and it is good to see what theses things have in them, so at least give google a look " build your own survival kit" some of these sights will let you pick and choose the stuff you want and build to your specs. www.americanfamilysafety.com...

If you absolutely can't find the time to assemble your own kit, then this one will probably do for the short term with the addition of a good knife, some extra food, and a water filter or water purification tabs.
