The ultimate survival backpack

by travissidelinger

Thought I’d share here. I have put together several backpacks.  This is my best one.  It’s my take everywhere backpack.  Except work, I have a different backpack for work.  And my camping backpack is separate.  If we had to run in a hurry, we would grab our camping backpacks (which are usually ready to go) and my take everywhere pack.

Here is an external shot:
