According to experienced survival instructor Creek Stewart, an effective Bug Out Bag contains everything required to survive disaster for 72 hours. To that end, The Guide's new section provides items like backpack and hiking packs, water purifiers, fire starters, MREs and food storage, emergency first aid kits, survival knives and tools, emergency shelters, pepper spray, weather radios and other survival supplies grouped into 4 categories...Food, Fire & Water, First Aid & Hygiene, Shelter & Tools and Self Defense and Communication.

The selection includes Creek Stewart's book, Build the Perfect Bug Out Bag: Your 72-Hour Disaster Survival Kit. The first 100 copies of the book sold will be autographed by the author. The offerings in the catalog have been supplemented by an expansion of the selection and categories on the company's website, aimed at making it easy for customers to assemble the emergency preparedness gear, clothing and tools that fit their own personal survival, recovery and comfort strategies. "Our customers have been requesting more urban and field survival tools and essentials so they can be prepared for any disaster, situation or conditions, " said Sportsman's Guide CEO Jay Berlin.

Without breaking the bank." The company plans to continue expanding the selection with items that can be kept close at hand, with easy access, for preparedness "come-what-may."
March 18th, 2013: Bloomberg Businessweek Interviews Creek about How to Survive A Cruise Ship Disaster
Are you saying a stranded cruise ship can get apocalyptic?
It may not come to murder, but tensions will be high. “The biggest challenge with being on a cruise ship that’s not moving isn’t surviving Mother Nature,” says Stewart. “It’s surviving being packed on a boat with 4,000 people who are hungry and angry.” He suggests staying isolated from your fellow passengers, if only to avoid the cooped-up hostility and battles for limited supplies.

Tim MacWelch, survival expert for Outdoor Life Magazine, says Creek’s new book Build the Perfect Bug Out Bag is realistic, contains legitimate skills and will be helpful to people!
Tim’s review just posted on OutdoorLife.com at : http://survival.outdoorlife.com/blogs/survivalist/2012/06/survival-book-review-build-perfect-bug-out-bag Check it out!
Below is a quote from the review:
My next question was, “Does the book contain legitimate skills?”
Again, the answer is yes. The author obviously knows his stuff. Many of the skills explained in the book are presented the same way that I teach them. Creek Stewart has been teaching survival roughly the same amount of time that I have—about 15 years—and it shows. His ease in providing explanations and his turn of phrase show a level of experience that cannot be faked.June 11th
