Duffle Bag – Survival Readiness

As part of my bug out bag preparations, I have a large duffle bag at the ready.  Within this survival duffle bag, I have an expanded survival kit which is meant to supplement my bug out bag if the situation allows for me to take it along in my vehicle.  While my bug out bag has enough supplies for me to last about a week away from home, this large, canvas duffle bag has the possibility of sustaining me for another one to two weeks with a more diverse amount of survival gear.  Lets take a look at what my survival duffle holds:

This survival duffle is still a work in progress, and I need to tweak the gear involved.  However, this bag has greatly expanded options from my bug out bag.  The bag itself is a beast.  It is absolutely huge.  Go to cheaperthandirt.com now and by one or five.  Similar bags from Blackhawk or 5.11 could cost you $200.  The duffle bag is waterproof, fully padded, has multiple pockets and the carry straps are reinforced.  It is also nicely done in Army Digital camo.  The only thing lacking on this bag are some wheels to haul around all the gear that can be loaded into it!

This is just an example of what your ready to go vehicle survival duffle bag could be.  You could similarly use a canvas duffle bag, or you could use a wheeled duffle bag if you anticipate carrying tons of guns and ammo.  Rolling duffle bags are nice, but I think that survival bags should be a little lighter than those requiring wheels.  However you see it, supplement your bug out bag with a good survival duffle bag.
