The M-550 Pro Bugout Frag™ is a survival grenade designed to be tossed into your car’s glovebox or motorcycle’s pannier and forgotten about – until you need it. It also makes the perfect men’s gift, for those times when you have no idea what else they might like.
Each grenade is made from a combination of high-grade, US made 550 paracord with a total length of 45 feet when unraveled.
Internally each M-550 Pro Bugout Frag™ contains an LED flashlight, a mini pocket knife, a dog tag signal mirror, a Ferrocerium fire starter and striker, 30 feet of 12 lb fishing line, 4 fish hooks, 4 split shot fishing weights, 2 bobby pins, 2 butterfly sutures, a P38 can opener, 1 compressed towel tablet, 6 waterproof matches, 2 stormproof matches, jute twine, a needle and thread, a razor blade, 8 feet of military grade tripwire for snares, aluminium foil, a wire saw, 4 water purification tablets, 2 safety pins, a whistle buckle, 2 split rings, and 3 feet of electrical tape.
