Building the Perfect Bug-Out Bag!
With shows like "Man vs. Wild" and "Survivorman" exposing to the art of survivalism, the survivalist movement is spreading faster than a wild fire doused with high octane jet fuel.

That's what the survivalist movement is all about, taking your own destiny in your own hands! If you're serious about getting prepared for the unforeseeable, a bug-out-bag is a must have. "What the heck is a bug-out-bag?" Well, I'm glad you asked. A bug-out bag is essentially everything you would need to survive in the wilderness for about 72 hours.
