The best bug out book that I have found is called, “Realistic Bug Out Bag” by Max Cooper. It blows away all of the other books on the topic.
It is on Amazon.com at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/149921507X/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=7H6CLRWJD4QR&coliid=IN5WXLDKHEVXF
Great site by the way. Can you include in your list what backpacks you use as well? Or any requirements of backpacks you look for when purchasing? They do range in price from $10 to $120 and it would be nice to know what you use or look for when buying.
Thank you.
Great video. Knowledge is power so here’s a great resource for Wilderness Survival Skills.
