Covert Prepper Backpack
Preppers need a covert prepper backpack, a bag built to blend in, yet can go operational at a moment’s notice.
Covert Prepper Backpack
The last thing a prepper wants is to be identified as a prepper, and we sure don’t want to be ID’ed as someone who might be dangerous or tactically trained. If we’re sporting a military style backpack the bad guys and their spotters will pick us out from the other refugees much faster. This is why I needed to researched a solid, rugged covert prepper backpack. I am very familiar with 5.11′s backpacks and they are very cool, in that tactical, “hey shoot me first” - way. I’m not disrespecting them, I’ve got a few of their packs, and I love them for non-SHTF use, when it’s ok for me to look like a chubby special forces ninja, but when the SHTF, I want to look like any other person and blend in.
My search for the perfect covert prepper backpack, finally led me to the to the 5.11 Covrt18 Backpack, it took me ages to find, but when I did, I knew I had found a great contender.

One other great thing about the Covrt18 backpack, is that you can carry your laptop in it, you can use it for day to day EDC. You can use it for clothing and toiletries for a trip, you can use it for your techie work gear bag, you can slap in a hydration bladder and first aid kit and use it for a hiking bag. Then when the crap get’s crazy you can stuff it with your bug out gear and it instantly becomes your covert prepper backpack. It looks like a regular backpack but is tactical on the inside.
While this may not fill the role for some, as a super large, heavy load bearing bug out bag (we recommend light and agile bug out bags), this is a great prepper bag that doesn’t look like a prepper bag. This is a true Covert Prepper Backpack!

This is where you are wrong!
If you encourage people to get the REAL DEAL (tactical bags are supreme for SHTF) then NO ONE WILL STAND OUT and we will ALL be with better bags, idiot!
So tell everyone the best thing for them. GET THE TACTICAL BAGS!!!!
Listen to MSG Chicken if you want to get shot! Tactical bags are not “better” than civilian looking and civilian packs are light years ahead of military packs. Be the gray man not a tactical mall ninja.
I don’t know about you but I’d rather get caught dead with a black/green/grey mean looking tactical bag than a pink LL Bean girlie bag on your back.
What do you think? (assume you are capable?)
If everyone does it my way you’re the one that will get shot!
