If MacGyver had a Bug Out Bag...

I came across the folks at ACW Tactical a few months ago and fell in love with their intuitivive take on bug out bags, emergency kits, and survival gear. I'm reviewing their new MacGyver Bag and thought I'd share a little info on it here.

BLUF: It's a USA made and packed tactical bag pre-loaded with supplies. Check them out at https://www.acwtactical.com/
