When I recently acquired my Maxpedition Falcon II pack it was my intention to make it my primary bug out bag. I selected this pack due to the number of compartments and its ability to attach other gear via the molle webbing. I have a number of items for this setup which I will go over in detail but first I wanted to explain why I titled this post The Ongoing Project of Building a Bug Out Bag. I have titled the post this because I feel that my Bug Out Bag is never finished. I always have the base items that I would need if I had to leave town in a hurry but some of the items were bought with cost in mind and that can in some cases lead to the quality of the items suffering. Take for example the knife that I first selected to be my survival knife, it was a Puma Sergeant folder, this was a nice knife but it was a sub par selection for the job it was be relied on for. I have since tweaked my knife selection to now feature the Buck Thug as my main survival knife and have now attached it to the side of my Bug Out Bag. The Puma folder makes an excellent knife to have in your pocket for the smaller jobs. One of the other items that I have tweaked is my first aid kit. I bought one that fits the small pocket on the back of the bag. The first aid kit is designed for 1-2 people called an adventure medical kit and contains basic supplies. I have added to this kit a 7.7ml travel polysporin, 10 tablets of Advil (Ibuprofen), and a small very small 7gr tub of vaseline. In the first compartment at the bottom back of the pack I keep items that I would want fast access to such as dog spray, flash light, SAS survival guide and many a few other items felt where worth adding to this compartment due to it organizational capabilities. The next compartment is directly above this one and is the smallest the pack has. Other than the two rows of molle on the outside this is just a zippered pocket and is where I keep my first aid kit. In the bottom of the next compartment is where I keep a few bigger bulkier items, these include 14oz Nalgene bottle, small metal dish, space blanket, KA-BAR knife fork spoon, and sealed dry tinder with cotton balls. This compartment also features three additional organizational pockets where I store note paper, water purification tablets, and a deck of cards. The last compartment is the largest one and features one large mesh pocket and one smaller zippered mesh pocket. In the main area I keep a change of clothes, Browning next to skin top and bottoms, Merrell tee shirt, and a pair of hiking pants from BC clothing that have zip off legs to make shorts. The large mesh pocket is where I keep two freeze dried meals. In the other zippered pocket I keep a few energy bars with room for a few more personal items. At this time I do not have a hydration blater, I do plan on getting one and installing it in this Bug Out Bag. So now I have shared with you some of the items of my Bug Out Bag. I will make a video so I can show you in-depth what is in my Bug Out Bag.
