Implements for shelter, first aid, water, fire, clothing, food, communications, and lighting should all be a part of your load-out. But how do you fit all this stuff in one bag or backpack? Survival expert Tim MacWelch of Advanced Survival Training shows us how to pack your bug-out bag with the contents that’ll help you sustain life in austere conditions that are portable and reliable enough to get the job done. RECOIL OFFGRID editor Patrick Vuong will show us how to arrange everything neatly into a Specialist 3-Day Backpack from First Tactical.
