Reply to: Best bug out bag backpack Posted March 22, 2020

Hello, First, thank you. I’ve been reading more and more about prepping over the last year. You have hands down the most thought out articles I’ve read; especially for a newbie. My question: after reading about bag selections and going through many of them and their companies; why aren’t they waterproof? Many, if not all, say water resistant but I have yet to see one that is “proof”. The only mention I saw in the article was about included rain covers not being necessary.

No activity yet.
