Wise Company is well known for long-term food storage but they’ve introduced a 64 item 5-Day Survival Backpack. What I find interesting about this pack is that it retails for under $70.00.
Sure, it’s just the basics but it would be great for the trunk or closet; just in case. You’ll probably want to add a few items like cordage and a multi-tool but you’ve got some basic food which is generally what drives up the price on these packs.
