What’s in a Bug-Out Bag?

Written by SWR Suppressors on December 11, 2012 - Comments

We are holding a special contest to help promote emergency preparedness. The winner of this contest will receive an SWR Spectre II suppressor!  So if you already have a kit put together, we want to see it. If you don’t, this is the perfect excuse to get a few things gathered up and set aside; after all, you could win a Spectre II.

Your personal survival kit will need to be designed with your specific area and circumstances in mind (a mild-climate city will require different equipment than a rural area in a very cold climate), and you should know how to use every item in your kit.  Here are a few ideas to get you started putting your kit together. First you will need a bag, preferably one that can be easily carried once it’s full, such as a backpack or duffle. There are a few things missing, but here’s what we have put together so far:                                                                                                     (Click Image For Contest Details)Contents:

    Some of the terrible cuostmer service may be due to excessive demand.I regularly purchase bulk reloads from two large sources; one has always had outstanding cuostmer service, good prices, great quality, and always delivered quickly, but was somewhat more expensive than my other source.The second source offers excellent quality reloads and the best prices that I could find, but is remiss in answering emails or posts on its Facebook page, charges credit cards at the time of order, and has such a tremendous backlog of unfilled orders that estimated delivery dates are no longer even posted. I am still waiting for my February order of a case of .45. In early March I trustingly ordered a case of .40 with an ETA of mid-April. Both of my orders are listed on the website as In Process , and they assure me and the others that they are indeed coming, but cannot give an estimated delivery date. On this company’s Facebook page the manager apologetically states that he will no longer give estimated dates as not to upset loyal cuostmers when the ammo is not delivered in time. In its defense, they do process credit card refunds when orders are cancelled, which (according to Facebook) is occurring with more frequency.
