Former CIA officer reveals…
37 critical items you must
have to build the ultimate
“Escape Bag”
Forget everything you think you know about
“bug out bags.”
Here’s the list of gear you need when you have
only seconds to escape with your life.
Dear Friend,
I’d like you to meet Patty Anderson.
She’s a wife and mother of two children.
Not too long ago, she thought she was going to die and never see her family again.
Why?
Because during a blizzard that slammed the east coast she was trapped in her car for hours on end… Without any type of “survival bag” to provide food, water, or warmth.
In fact, here’s what the New York Post said about her incident…
“Stranded for hours on a snow-covered road, [she] prayed, took out a sheet of loose-leaf paper and wrote what she thought might be her last words to her husband and children.”
Thankfully, Patty made it home to her family, but not everyone does.
A couple from Salt Lake City, Utah went for a drive in the mountains when their car got trapped in the snow. Unable to free the car and without proper supplies, both their bodies were found a few days later.
Obviously, this is a tragedy, but it didn’t have to happen.
But the fact is, because of a weather emergency, terrorist attack, economic collapse, or any number of disasters…
Every American needs to have what I call an “Escape Bag” to keep themselves and their family alive in a crisis situation.
My name, by the way, is Jason Hanson.
I’m a former CIA officer and a security specialist.
I’m also an Eagle Scout (Troop 826, Oakton, VA.)
You may have seen me on ABC’s Shark Tank and the NBC TODAY Show.
Even though every American needs an Escape Bag, and many own them, here’s the major problem…
The items most people have in their bags will get them killed.
That’s why I spent a monumental amount of time figuring out the 37 critical items to carry in my Escape Bag so if disaster strikes my family is taken care of.
Keep in mind, these 37 items don’t come from some “Internet list.”
Instead, these items come from my experience as a CIA officer where we had Escape Bags…
From my experience as an Eagle Scout…
And from my experience of having to survive several days with just the bag on my back (more on this in a moment).
The bottom line is, when disaster strikes, having the right survival gear can mean the difference between life and death, which is why you don’t want to take any chances.
That’s why I want to share with you the 37 critical items you need in your own bag, including several pieces of gear you probably never even knew existed.
For example…
"One is none, two is one, and
three is just enough."
I just mentioned that I’ve had to survive with only the bag on my back.
Without going into too many details, it happened in a foreign country I won’t name.
In short, I was with a group in the mountains when things didn’t go as planned and we ended up running out of water.
As you likely know, without water you’re not going to live for more than a few days, whereas without food you can still survive for weeks.
After a long trek, we finally came across a small pond.
I’ve never been so glad to see a moss covered, mosquito infested body of water in my life.
Needless to say, we couldn’t drink straight from the pond or it would have made us extremely sick... And that’s the last thing we wanted as we were still high in the mountains with a long hike back to “camp.”
Fortunately, my Escape Bag had everything I needed to filter the scummy pond water.
Within minutes, I was sitting on the edge of the pond, with sweat still pouring down my face, enjoying clean drinking water.
And this brings me to the first critical item you must have for your Escape bag.
You see, there’s an old saying in the survival world, “one is none, two is one, and three is just enough.”
When it comes to the ability to get clean drinking water, this has never been more true. After all, you would never carry just one water filter in case it ended up breaking.
This is why my Escape Bag has three different ways to deliver clean water for me and my family.
The first way is a small device about the size of a smart phone. It weighs less than eight ounces, doesn’t require any pumping, and doesn’t use a single chemical.
Incredibly, it can purify up to 540 gallons of drinking water every single day.
In a minute, I’ll show you exactly how to get all three of these water purification devices for your own Escape Bag.
And remember, they take up hardly any space and weigh almost nothing.
You see, before I cover the rest of the gear, such as knives, guns, food and flashlights… It’s important to go over the weight of your Escape Bag, and the actual bag itself.
Let me explain…
The secret of choosing the right bag
When it comes to putting together an Escape Bag, the single biggest mistake I see people make is they choose the wrong bag.
It should go without saying that you NEVER want a bag that looks like Rambo would carry it. You don’t want anything camouflage or anything that looks tactical.
Believe me, I love tactical bags and own many myself. I use them when I go to the shooting range, but they’re not what I use for my Escape Bag.
After all, during a crisis situation you never want to draw attention to yourself.
If your bag screams “survival gear” and a mob takes your bag, it won’t matter if you have the 37 lifesaving items in it.
So what bag should you use instead?
Well, after untold amounts of time researching and testing bags, I found what I believe is the perfect Escape Bag.
First, the bag is made out of canvas.
But not just any canvas, Martexin waxed canvas.
This special canvas is made in the USA and has been produced since 1930.
It’s woven so tightly during manufacturing that it’s wind and water resistant.
Obviously, if you ever have to use your Escape Bag during a hurricane or other downpour, you want your gear to stay dry.
What’s more, the bag comes with dual density foam in the shoulder straps to ensure comfort if you have to walk a long distance to get to safety.
And, the size of the bag is the right number of cubic inches (1,200) allowing you to carry the 37 items while keeping the weight down.
Remember, one of the most important parts of putting together an Escape Bag is making sure it’s not too heavy.
There’s a magic number when it comes to how many pounds you want in your Escape Bag and you never want to cross it.
I’ll tell you that weight number and where to get the Escape Bag I just described in a moment.
But before I forget, let me quickly share with you the critical knife and gun you want in your Escape Bag.
I can pretty much guarantee neither of these items are on your current list of survival gear…
The ultimate survival knife?
Let’s start with the knife.
There are several factors to consider when choosing a knife that you may have to bet your life on.
For instance…
Does it have a full tang? (The tang is the part of the knife that extends into the handle.)
What material is the handle made out of?
Is the blade stainless steel or carbon steel?
Does it have a straight or serrated edge?
And how thick is the blade?
I realize that sounds like a lot of questions, but don’t worry.
In my Escape Bag I have the knife that meets (and even exceeds) the necessary survival criteria.
It’s used by government operatives and Special Forces around the world.
Best of all, it’s made right here in the U.S.
This specific knife has a blade made of 1095 high carbon steel. This means it holds an edge very well and is tough enough for prying, chopping, and other activities.
What’s more, the knife handle is made out of G-10 material.
As one knife website noted, G-10 is “A fiberglass based laminate. Layers of fiberglass cloth are soaked in resin and are compressed and baked. The resulting material is very hard, lightweight, and strong.”
In fact, this survival knife weighs only 4.4 ounces, which is one of the many reasons it’s the knife I keep in my Escape Bag.
Before I give you the name and model of this knife, let me quickly cover the one gun I keep in my Escape Bag…
The single most important firearm
This accuracy makes it perfect for stopping both two-legged and four-legged threats.
I’m going to give you the name of this unique gun in a second.
Plus, I’m going to give you the name of the survival knife and everything else I’ve mentioned in this presentation.
It’s all part of a special guide I just released called, The Escape Bag Blueprint: 37 Items You Must Have to Survive a Crisis.
Best of all, I’d like to give you this guide for free.
It’s 76 pages long and contains over 60 pictures of all of the items you need in your Escape Bag to keep you and your family alive.
For instance, besides water filters, guns and knives, here’s what else is covered in The Escape Bag Blueprint…
The list of items you need
Besides water, food is obviously at the top of the list of items you need.
Unfortunately, most people buy a Clif bar from Walmart or a dehydrated meal from a camping store.
But what you want in your Escape Bag is the survival bar that’s specially designed to replace meals and has 32 grams of protein per bar.
To put that into perspective, an average plate of spaghetti has 8 grams of protein. In other words, one survival bar has as much protein as four plates of spaghetti.
This is the reason top athletes and elite government personnel who may find themselves in the most dire of survival situations rely on these bars.
My Escape Bag has six of these bars, but that’s not all.
It also contains a type of meal that doesn’t require you to add water. And, you don’t need a fire to cook it because the meal cooks itself in just minutes.
I know that sounds strange, but several state and local governments have purchased this meal to use during natural disasters.
My Escape Bag contains two of these
"self-cooking" meals.
