Cheaper Than Dirt! announces the Battle for the Best Bug-Out Bag September 2014 contest. Starting September 5 and running through September 30, 2014, Cheaper Than Dirt! is accepting entries to its Battle for the Best Bug-Out Bag contest.

[Entry for The Battle for the Best Bug Out Bag is now over. We will announce the winner on October 17th. Thank you to all of those who entered!]
Entering is fun and easy! We want to see what items you feel are essential to survival—whether bugging in or bugging out.
To enter:
- Shop our website for survival supplies and a container or bag to put them in. We know you already have the guns and ammo, so leave those out.
- With a budget of $300 (excluding shipping and taxes) put the items in your cart.
- Take a screen shot of your cart and send it to content@cheaperthandirt.com. Alternatively, email us your list of items including a short description of the item, the URL or the Cheaper Than Dirt! item number at content@cheaperthandirt.com.
- In your message, include your name, a valid working email address, city and state.
It is as simple as that!
The grand prizewinner will receive their bag or container and everything they put in it!
Now for the Rules
- Your $300 budget includes the price of your bag or container.
- All of the items you choose must fit in the bag or container of your choice or attach on the outside of it.
- Items must relate to survival or preparedness.
You will be automatically disqualified from winning the Battle for the Best Bug-Out Bag contest if you:
- Include guns or ammo
- Do not include your name, city, and state in your entry form
- Do not have a valid email address
- Your items and bag add up to more than $300
- You shopped anywhere else other than CheaperThanDirt.com or Cheaper Than Dirt!’s catalog

Feel free to include a short description of why you chose the items you did. However, this will not increase or decrease your chances of winning.
