LIMA TANGO SURVIVAL

Backpacks for Emergency Survival

Backpack weight is something that beginner backpackers or preppers often overlook, but carrying extra weight uses valuable energy in an emergency. A complete emergency pack is only useful if it can move with you. The packs we select for our survival kits are lightweight when empty, spacious enough to carry ample supplies and gear, and comfortable enough to wear. We offer packs from trusted manufacturers that have been stress-tested in the field for their quality and durability, so you get only the best.

Durability In the Field

Our inventory has backpacks meant to withstand heavy use, harsh conditions, and other emergencies when life gets tough. The MOLLE webbing system on many of our packs makes them great emergency backpacks, allowing you to attach additional pouches and accessories as needed.

Comprehensive survival kits belong in high-capacity, military-grade backpacks that balance tactical functionality with practical weight. Your backpack shouldn’t take up your carrying capacity, so you can include more essential emergency equipment.

Practical Survival Storage

The more inconspicuous packs we offer take advantage of the sleekness of modern camping gear to offer you options for a low-profile pack when hiking, cycling, or climbing.

A high-quality emergency backpack has ample carrying capacity for your essentials. We use field-tested gear for our built-to-order kits.

Quality Assurance

LIMA-TANGO was started from frustration with the disposable and low-quality nature of survival gear. “Knife-proof” bags that tear from sharp sticks, fragile shelters, and bare-bones first aid kits are useless in emergencies. When life gets tough, your emergency kit should make you feel confident and secure.

We stress test and thoroughly vet the brands and items we stock as part of our packs, so the supplies and gear you get from LIMA-TANGO are the best you can find.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some survival kit backpacks include a foam sleep pad?
A foam sleeping pad helps retain warmth while sleeping. Being in contact with the ground will siphon off your body heat, increasing the risk of hypothermia. Using a foam pad creates a barrier between your body and the ground.
How can I keep important items safe in my backpack?
Any documents, food, or other supplies susceptible to water damage should be packed in a waterproof bag inside the main pocket of your backpack. If you have any prescription medication or glasses, using a solid, waterproof box is important for protecting them from damage.
How do I choose the right emergency backpack for me?

This depends on your location and needs. For an everyday carry or car emergency kit, a small backpack or carrying case will fit the essentials you’ll need in a pinch. For longer, more intensive emergencies, a larger pack with a higher capacity will be better since you’ll need to carry more supplies.If you’re anticipating an event like prolonged civil unrest, an inconspicuous bag will be a better fit for your situation. A tactical-looking backpack may attract unwanted attention more than a less remarkable bag.
