For full disclosure, today’s guest is the owner of Camping Survival.com which is The Prepper Recon Podcast sponsor. With that said, it would be difficult to find a higher authority on putting together the perfect bug out bag, both because of Tom’s experience with the products he sells at CampingSurvival.com and because of his experience with the United States Marine Corps.

Tom shares his choice for the best back pack to use as the base of your bug out bag. Listen to today’s show to find out why a U.S. Marine thinks it is important to think about the color of your bug out bag.

Tom also shares his knowledge to help you select the best lightweight shelter and gives some of his preferences. He tells us his method for water purification and gives us his picks for filters and chemical water treatments.

Tom reviews his new favorite long term storage food to keep in a bug out bag and tells us a unique way to carry para-cord besides the traditional bracelet. We also get to hear Tom’s picks for the best knife for the money and which multi-tool he carries as part of his everyday carry.
