What is a bug out bag?

A bug out bag is a pre-packed emergency kit designed to sustain you for 72 hours or more when you need to leave your location quickly. Also called a BOB, go bag, or get home bag depending on the intended use.

How much should a bug out bag weigh?

A general rule is to keep your loaded BOB under 20–25% of your body weight. Most practical setups fall between 25–40 lbs depending on scenario length and individual fitness. A lighter, well-prioritized kit outperforms a heavy kit with filler every time.

What is the difference between a bug out bag and a get home bag?

A bug out bag is built for leaving home and sustaining yourself for multiple days. A get home bag is lighter and optimized for a single mission: getting from wherever you are back to home, typically kept in a vehicle.

Should I buy a pre-made kit or build my own bug out bag?

Pre-made kits are faster to acquire and well-suited for buyers who want a ready solution. Building your own gives you control over every component — weight, quality, and configuration — and is usually the better option for buyers with specific requirements or existing gear.

What is the best bag to use as a bug out bag?

Look for 35–55L capacity, a structured frame, load-bearing hip belt, MOLLE webbing for expansion, and a durable fabric rated for outdoor use. Eberlestock, Condor, 5.11, and Tasmanian Tiger are proven platforms.

Multi-Angle M-LOK Vertical Grip With 0 to 8 Degree Cant You Adjust Without Removing the Grip

True North Concepts Zero-8 V2 Multi-Angle Vertical Grip lets you set the grip angle from 0 to 8 degrees of cant, and the V2 hardware orientation lets you adjust it through the grip body without removing the grip from your M-LOK handguard. True North Concepts builds it from aerospace-grade billet 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III Class 2 hardcoat anodizing.

Features

Adjustable cant from 0 to 8 degrees lets you run the Zero-8 as a traditional vertical grip, as a forward-angled hand stop, or at any setting in between.
The V2 hardware orientation lets you secure or change the angle through the grip body, so you never pull the grip off your M-LOK slots to adjust it.
10-24 x .375 button head cap screws match True North's M-LOK hardware.
A stainless steel coil pin and set screw lock the angle in once you find the position that fits your shooting, giving you a secure, long-term setup.
Aerospace-grade billet 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III Class 2 hardcoat anodizing gives the grip durability, corrosion resistance, and low reflectivity.
A 2-tier groove system on the front and back spine gives you a positive purchase with bare hands or gloves and keeps the grip's strong barrier-grabbing performance.
A notched bottom perimeter adds grip when you rest the Zero-8 on most any surface.
The grip ships with the mounting hardware and a 1/8 in Allen wrench, so you can install it right away.
The Zero-8 V2 works on carbines, submachine guns, and shotguns, and True North Concepts designs and makes it in the USA.
