Top 3 Bug Out Bag Reviews

A quality bug-out bag should hold essentials that can help you survive for 72 hours in case of an emergency. We may not be at the “panic” stage yet, but you need to get everything ready for when it happens. That’s why you need to get a durable bug-out bag that can withstand any situation or weather. There are bug-out bags that come with pre-stocked emergency essentials, and there are options that come empty. I will be reviewing three bug-out bags that come empty and allow for safe storage and easy access.

My Top 3 Bug-Out Bags

1. 11 Tactical RUSH72

Specs

• 1050D Nylon exterior
• 55 liters interior capacity
• Seven color variations

What I think

5.11 Tactical RUSH72 is a comfortable, modular, and huge bag that can carry everything you need for a bug-out. It has a big front pocket, a large main compartment, a hydration compartment, an admin pocket, and two side pockets. And it has a fleece-lined pocket. Its best feature is its compression straps that hold your gear close to your center. RUSH 72 shoulder straps are comfortable, and it also has a waist strap that holds the bag in place.

What I liked

• Zippers are high quality and feel smooth.
• Fabric is water-resistant and tough.

What I didn’t like

• The RUSH 72 weighs 5.5 lbs without any gear inside.
• It’s quite expensive, but it is great value for your money.

Final thoughts

The 5.11 Tactical RUSH72 has enough space to store all your stuff, and its tough exterior can withstand any storm.

Kelty Redwing 44 TacticalSpecs

• 500D Kodra nylon exterior material
• Four different color options
• 44 liters interior capacity

What I think

If you tend to overpack, the Redwing brand has 44 liters and 50-liter bug-out bags for you. There is no internal frame like most technical bags, but Ketly has a “single light beam aluminum stay.” This feature makes it easy to manage bulky loads. Kelty Redwing 44 Tactical bug-out bag has a side bag for a water bottle, a laptop sleeve, a large main section, a quick access top pocket, and space for a hydration bladder. This bag is made from durable materials that can withstand sandstorms, and it is the perfect bug-out bag for people who want long-term comfort.

It doesn’t have MOLLE webbing or small pouches, which limits its expandability.

What I liked

• This bug-out-bag is extremely comfortable and ergonomic to wear for long periods.
• Compression, chest, and waist straps.
• A hip belt takes most of your bag’s load off your shoulder.

What I didn’t like

• The Hybrid-loading u-Zipper design makes it a bit less sturdy, and it doesn’t open completely due to design. This limitation makes it hard for you to access all your gear whenever you want.

Final thoughts

This bag’s long-term durability makes it a great choice for people who want a bug out that is comfortable and easy to use.

1. Condor 3 Day Assault Pack

Specs

• Cordura exterior material
• Four color options
• 50 liters interior capacity

What I think

The Condor 3 Day Assault Pack compartments and capacity make it easy for you to customize this bag to your liking. It also has a MOLLE, two 3-liter hydration bladder pockets, document pockets, pen holsters, and radio pockets. Its waist, compression, and sternum straps keep the gear from shifting. You can use its quick-release retention straps in its large main compartment to keep your equipment in place. Its heavy-duty handles on its three sides make it easy for you to pick up and drop the bag quickly.

What I liked

• This bag is a perfect fit for small and large folks, and it can carry many emergency supplies.

What I didn’t like

• The outer material is lightweight, which makes it less durable for thorny bushes.

Final thoughts

If you need a bag to put your things and grab and go easily, Condor 3 Day Assault Pack is an excellent choice for you. You can choose from any of the three bug-out bags I have reviewed, but if you had any other brand you would love to buy, you should consider their durability and materials.

FAQs on Bug-Out Bags

Are bug-out bags worth it?

Bug-out bags are worth it and will save your life. You may think that you can get away with a cheap bag from the grocery store, but this is not true! If you hastily pick one of these up without giving any thought to what might happen in an emergency situation such as Hurricane or another natural disaster, then there’s no telling how difficult things could become for yourself because many bug-out bags have features like being able to withstand harsh weather conditions while simultaneously providing all necessary supplies inside even if those items became wet due having pockets suitable for storing water bottles. It’ll also be much easier on both your back and shoulders thanks to using lightweight materials, therefore preventing chronic pain which comes from carrying around heavy loads over long distances.

What is the best size for a bug-out bag?

The size of your bug-out bag should be large enough to fit all the necessities for survival but small enough that it is not cumbersome. The optimal range falls between 40-50 liters in volume and 3 pounds or less on weight (in order to accommodate quick movements without feeling like you are carrying a boulder). If you have extra space available inside your backpack, try packing clothing items as well.

Why bugging out is a bad idea?

When you bug out, the chances are not in your favor to be promised acceptance into someone else’s neighborhood. It is most likely that people will either shun or verbally abuse a stranger who has shown up at their doorstep unannounced and unwelcome; it can also turn physical.

What do colors mean in the bug-out bag world?

Some people choose to have their go-bags match a specific color to find more easily, and others don’t care. I usually stay with black, dark green, or brown because it doesn’t matter as much when you’re trying not to be seen while bugging out.

What is the point of a bug-out bag?

A bug-out bag serves as a means for one to evacuate quickly in the event of a disaster. It’s best if all your materials and supplies can be gathered into a single place- which is why having an easily accessible bug-out bag nearby at any time is so important.

What should you have in a 3-day bug-out bag?

A survivalist’s 3-day emergency kit or a “bug-out” bag is an essential tool for any prepared individual. However, what exactly goes inside the tactical pack to ensure your safety during these emergencies can be difficult to decide on with so many options available. It depends primarily on two factors; how much space and weight do you need to carry, as well as what environment will likely present itself following a disaster (desert vs. forest).

Water for sure is needed, one to three quarts per person, water bottle, and water treatment method. You may want something like a filter, purification tabs, or emergency blanket for shelter from the elements at night (depending on where you are going). A tarp and sleeping bag will help keep warm through cold nights of camping with no other heat source available. Survival food items such as protein bars or MREs provide quick energy when needed most without weighing down your pack too much while traveling long distances over steep terrain.

Regardless of whether packing light or heavy though, there are some items that every good prepper knows they must bring along – either because their absence would render them helpless against whatever might happen afterward…or just simply due diligence when leaving home
