Too Broke to Bug Out? Zombies? Find Your Answers Here (VIDEO)

Bug out bags can get expensive, fast. I do lots of reviews and some of the gear can wipe out a budget pretty quickly.  Keep reading.  By request, I put together a complete bug out bag on a budget with a few simple rules, the gear had to work, it had to work together (i.e. pack size) and it had to be new and readily available. While each piece might not be the cheapest per se, it’s better than buying something that doesn’t work and then re-buying something that does.  After the gear was selected, I loaded up took it all on a 72 hour, 60 mile, simulated bug out.In the end, I wanted to put together a reference for folks to turn to for inexpensive gear.

For starters, take a look at our pick for the best budget bug out pack, the Teton Sports Outfitter 4600.  Stick around, we still have almost 2 dozen pieces of gear to review after this.
