Description
For those who require a smaller, less noticeable bug-out bag that packs a defensive punch, the Urban Survival-Pak (USP) is right up your alley. This over-the-shoulder bag conceals its true usage, which comes in handy when you don’t want to broadcast to the world that you’re carrying a whole stash of supplies. The bag comes with an interesting mix of gear, many of which lean heavily toward personal defense. It includes more than a few defensive tools, including pepper spray (where allowed by law), swimmer’s goggles for tear gas eye protection, and two sets of handcuff keys. Carrying this theme further, the bag includes an ambidextrous holster hidden inside a special weapon compartment for concealed carry of a handgun.
The USP is on the smaller side, so it’s only natural that the amount of supplies it carries is less than that of the larger bags in this guide. The point of this bag is to get you in and out of areas a bit more ninja-like with a certain level of protection at your disposal. Think less Bear Grylls and more Jason Bourne.
It is made of ballistic nylon with a comfortable, fully adjustable padded carrying strap. It has an oversized and adjustable center compartment with nylon drawstring and multiple exterior pockets, including one that can secure a water bottle.
That brings us to a few highlights, which include a McNett Tactical Aquamira Water Filter Bottle that treats up to 100 gallons and removes 99.9 percent of chlorine, bad taste, and cryptosporidium and giardia (parasites that cause “beaver fever”). It also includes a quality Gerber Suspension Multi-Tool, a couple of emergency food bars, and water packets. A rudimentary first-aid kit is included as is a radio and emergency blanket. Although one of the priciest in this guide and not built for sustained survival, for its size, the USP has the potential to get you out of a jam and to your rendezvous point quickly.
