Food Insurance 2-Week Bug Out Bag

For the price this is a great deal. The backpack isn't super hi-tech, but when you figure a two-week food supply sells at $160, then you realize all the other equipment is pretty nice when you only have $40-50 to work with. I'd probably place the backpack in the price range of $50-$75 based on features, but it's heavy duty and has a fair amount of pockets. I'd say it's something you'd find at Walmart or Target, not REI. It's not the most comfortable or ventilated backpack, but again, for the price you can't go wrong. Plus, keep in mind there's another $10-20 worth of supplies. Besides, would you really want to have a super fancy backpack sitting around getting no use? If you really care about awesome backpacks and go hiking a lot then I'd probably order the food and supplies separately and have them in some kind of stuff-sack ready to be thrown into your nice backpack.Purchased separately I could see the kit costing $10-30 more than what it's being sold for (with the assumption that this two-week supply of food is truly valued at $160). Buying everything separately would get you better quality (but would cost you more) - but for the price of this kit I think it's great. Plus, it's nice to know I have a great kit RIGHT NOW. I'll slowly build a better survival bag - but it's nice to feel comfortable knowing I have something right away.I've you're not a big camper, prepper, survivalist, or whatever then I think this is a great deal and an awesome start. If you're big into camping, prepping, surviving, etc then you'll probably already have your kit all customized and this would feel limited to you.I can't comment on the food, though - haven't tasted it yet. I do wish the food had a date on it (easy to remedy with a sharpie, so not that big of a deal). Shelf life is listed as 7-10 years.Back to the bag. I've got everything in it that came with it. Plus, I added lots more stuff. I still have plenty of room left over. It has compression straps so a person could even attach a tent and sleeping bag without trouble. Weight will be an issue before storage space. There's the usual amount of adjustability on it for a bag of this level, but it's not perfect. I'm 6'0" and wish that I could adjust the torso length. But, again, a person would have to spend closer to $200 for a bag alone that has that kind of adjustability. I usually spend $100+ for even small daypacks just to get the adjustability and air flow. Once I save up some more dollars I'd probably replace this pack. But, again, I'd rather have something now - even if that means I'm sacrificing comfort. If life gets bad enough that I have to leave my house with this bag then comfort will probably be the least of my concerns. I kind of see this as more of a backup for when power goes out for an extended period of time - so I'll probably end up using it at home. A duffle bag or box would probably be more relevant to its purpose but the double duty of a backpack makes the most sense. If I believed I'd be "bugging" out then I'd probably want a better backpack.Overall this is a great kit and I'm glad I bought it.

Very nice bug out bag!!!

Arrived as stated. No Complaints

As expected

I like the idea of this complete package, however you could get a US army surplus bag for $120 with the frame and it has 5000 cubic inches which is double this. Another person mention food costs for a $160 so if you add the two it comes up to $280 however you now have 2500 cubic inches for clothes and other supplies.
