Murder Bag Checklist [FREE PDF Download]

October 16, 2023 by Scott Witner Leave a Comment

Murder Bag Checklist

Attention all dads with daughters! If you haven’t heard of the “murder bag,” it’s time to pay attention.

You might be wondering, “What on earth is a murder bag?”

The murder bag is just a term we dads use to describe the ultimate emergency kit we have on standby. A go-bag of sorts when our daughters need our help.

What is a Murder Bag

For fathers with daughters, the term “murder bag” might initially sound ominous, but for some, it simply refers to an ultimate emergency kit, a go-bag prepared and always ready for extreme situations where their daughters might need help. Given today’s uncertain world, some dads feel the need to prepare for all eventualities, and their “murder bag” might be more tactical in nature. In such a kit, you might find:

  • AR-15 rifle for situations demanding overwhelming firepower.
  • 4 30-round mags loaded with 77-grain OTM ensuring effective terminal ballistics.
  • Glock 17 full-sized pistol with XS Big Dot Sights for accurate combat effective hits.
  • 4 mags loaded with 147-grain JHP optimized for self-defense.
  • Trauma kit containing tourniquets, chest seals, and hemostatic gauze.
  • Surgical gloves to ensure no fingerprints are left behind.
  • Duct tape: Incredibly versatile for various situations, from repairs to immobilization.
  • 55-gallon contractor bags for multiple purposes, from waterproofing gear to waste management.
  • $500 cash: For any unforeseen emergencies where electronic transactions might not be feasible or to be used as a bribe.
  • Other assorted items such as 550 cord, tie wraps, a headlamp, and maps of the local area.

A Cell Phone Faraday Bag is a vital addition to any murder bag. This ensures that your cell phone cannot be tracked or hacked into, offering a layer of privacy and protection from potential surveillance. In situations requiring stealth or avoiding detection, a Faraday bag ensures your device remains truly off and silent.

While the contents of a “murder bag” might seem intense, the underlying sentiment remains the same: a father’s deep-seated desire to ensure the safety and well-being of his daughters, no matter how dire the situation.

Every item is chosen with cold calculated thought, reflecting a commitment to be prepared for any challenge or threat they might face.

What Bag Makes The Best Murder Bag

The 24″ CLC tool bag (seen in the above photos) offers multiple advantages when used as a “murder bag” or emergency go-bag. Firstly, its size is optimal for accommodating a diverse range of gear. Its capacity to fit a broken-down full-sized AR-15 is a significant benefit, allowing for both discretion and ease of transport.

Furthermore, the design and build of the CLC bag ensure durability and resilience, crucial for transporting gear in changing environments. Its multiple pockets and compartments offer organized storage, enabling quick access to items when time is of the essence.

However, arguably the most advantageous feature of the CLC tool bag in this context is its low visual signature. In scenarios where discretion is paramount, this bag excels. Its appearance is non-threatening and non-descriptive, resembling any standard tool bag. This ensures that it doesn’t draw any unwanted attention or raise suspicions, a feature that can be invaluable in certain situations.

In sum, for those looking to blend capacity, durability, and discretion, the 24″ CLC tool bag stands out as an optimal choice for an emergency “murder bag”.

Why Dads Should Be Dangerous

As a dad with two lovely daughters myself, I can’t stress enough how important it is to be prepared for anything. And I mean anything.

With all the scum bag scavengers out there hunting our kids, you need to have the capacity and capability of violence to deter them.

Inside this bag, you’ll find an assortment of items that come to the rescue in unexpected situations. From band-aids for scraped knees to tissues for teary eyes, and a few implements to deal with boyfriends gone bad, the murder bag has got it all!

Based on the kit Jack Carr used in the book Only The Dead, here is your Murder Bag Checklist!
