Well, I'm just starting to get survival stuff and I wanted to know what a good pack would be that isn't too expensive and that would be easy to maneuver with.
Answer
Well what are your expectations of calamity for a need to survival? civil unrest, WW3, Hurricane, Earthquake, Zombie invasion? as all require different gear. Most folks who are thinking of doing a little survival related stuff are more thinking along the lines of being Johnny mountain-man and then true backpacking comes to mind. Hike into the woods camp for a while do some fishing/hunting that sort of thing and if that be the case than a good backpackers pack will suit your needs quite well.
Read the reviews of the following products try before you buy if you can.

Ruger .454 Casull for backpacking?
Chris G
Can anyone recommend the Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan .454 Casull revolver with 2.5" barrel?
--I will be staying with my family in a nice big cabin in Alaska for most of 2009, and I wanted a good, durable, and very powerful revolver for conceal carry. I already own a shotgun, which I am also taking with me, but I wanted something that I can COMFORTABLY carry with me while hiking on trails with my wife. I was told by my uncle that this specific revolver, despite the harsh recoil, would be best, but I wondered what your opinions of it are?
Here is a link with a picture of the gun:

I recently examined just this revolver. Seems someone bought it, fired it once and traded for something else. The guy at the gun shop even told me he'd throw in a box of ammo with only one shell missing. I thought he was kidding until I opened the cylinder and noticed only one slot of six smoked-up. Guess he fired it once and decided he wanted something less intense!
I was impressed with the revolver itself. It feels sturdy, solid and well-made (like other Ruger products). You know that this revolver will also shoot the .45 LC? That would be better for anything but more serious threats like big bear. I hear this model is also chambered for .480 Ruger and even though the .480 is bigger than the .454 Casull for some reason I can't really understand the reviews say it is more manageable to shoot than the .454 Casull???
Consider also the Taurus Raging Bull in .454 Casull with at least a 6" barrel. Although its only a five-shot it is heavier and has a longer compensated barrel and better grips for managing the intense recoil.
I'll be staying in a cabin in South Texas the rest of this year (while our retirement home is being built). I'll take my Glock Model 20 10mm and a .357 Magnum with me. This besides my hunting rifles and shotgun because deer and bird seasons are right around the corner.
Happy hunting.
