    What do you think of a folding bike as a bug out vehicle? You could use it if your car gets stuck in traffic, ran out of gas or broke down, etc. Or if you don't own a car. To what extent can you exceed the maximum load capacity with a folding bike, that is specified by the manufacturer? You...

    Hi folks, I'm sure this topic has been covered ad nauseum, the topic of bug out bags and firearms. To be clear, I am not assessing a basic get home bag or every day carry bag. I already have these. I'm trying to figure out what makes sense to pack between my car as a bugout vehicle and an...

    Is it wise to carry kevlar paracord in a Bug Out Bag, Get Home Bag or EDC bag? One of its applications might be to use it as a fire escape from a burning building.Therefore the paracord should have sufficient thickness. Kevlar paracord could also be used in a survival situation, to make a...

    I think a bug-out bag or get-home-bag should be relatively light. For example 30 pounds for an average healthy adult man, and less for most women and children. There are government regulations for maximum carrying weight, to prevent chronic damage to the spine. These regulations can be found...

    Has anyone used a 2 person pup tent without the poles? It looks like someone could string a guideline through both ends of the end and use that guideline to support the tent rather than poles. Reason for this? Be able to reduce the size of the tent down as much as it can without the poles...

    I wasn't sure if there were posts on bug out bags for children. I have 3 kids and just ordered some bags for them to prep for emergency bags. I've never prepared a bag for child or adult so this is a new thing for me. I wanted to ask y'all what would be best to pack in the kids' bags. We have...

Since I founded Survivalist Boards, I’ve lost count of the number of newbies asking the same (but legitimate) questions and making the same mistakes. And...

    Christmas is coming up and I would like to gift the grandkids a backpack that would serve as a platform to build off of. The packs are a surplus 3 day assault pack. From there I plan on getting two canteens for each pack, and a single canteen cup for each. So far: Surplus 3 day Pack Canteen...

    Sorry if this is a pretty basic question. I have heard that a go bag is supposed to be 10% of your weight. Is that the same as a 3 day BOB? I only weigh 140lb so 10% of my weight would be only 14lb. That seems a little light, personally and it doesn't leave a lot of room for gear. I am pretty...

    Hey Guys, What should be the basic tools and equipment that should be included in two days hiking? Thanks in advance :thumb:

    My B.O.B is a work in progress. I find that I'm never satisfied with it, not even close. To heavy, wrong contents, wrong bag, whatever my thoughts may be. It mostly comes down to what I want to have vs. weight. I'm a backpacker so this issue is not new to me but with backpacking i'm not as...
