TT Survival Pack – Escape Backpack

This article is sponsored by Tasmanian Tiger.

The TT Survival Pack is a slim escape backpack with many compartments and some removable Velcro pouches. Its flat profile makes it easy to store in a car or on a plane.

Flat Backpack with Internal Organization

The Carrying System

The back system is kept very minimalist. On the right and left sides of the back, there is some padding, but no spacer mesh. There are also carry handles on the right and left.

The shoulder straps are padded and feature spacer mesh on the side facing the body.

The shoulder straps come with a chest strap, which I believe is essential.

The straps are equipped with quick-detach buckles and can be stowed together with the long carrying handle in the back pocket.

The Exterior of the Backpack

On the front, there is a large Velcro panel for patches and labeling. To the right and left are narrow webbing loops that can be used to thread shock cord, for example.

Behind the Velcro panel is a Velcro pocket with internal elastic loops and a stowable carry handle.

Below are two concealed metal hooks.

The hooks can be used to attach something like the Tac Touch 8.1 Hip.

Below that are two flat zippered pockets for small items. The lower one has another wide Velcro strip. On both the right and left, there is again the narrow webbing as a daisy chain for attaching shock cord or carabiners.

At the top, two elastic bands are sewn on. Also visible is the pass-through for the hydration tube. In general, the pockets’ zippers are equipped with long pull cords, though the metal parts can be noisy.

The bottom has a flat zippered pocket.

Here is where the rain cover is stored, secured with a hook.

The cover is colored to match the backpack on one side, while the other side has a high-visibility neon orange stripe for increased visibility.

Also included is a signal cloth, which can be attached to the daisy chains using cord stoppers and shock cord.

The orange is bright and highly visible.

The Interior

The main compartment can be fully opened, providing a complete view of the contents. The individual pockets can also be labeled with Velcro strips. With the two carry handles, the backpack can be quickly closed and carried without needing to zip it up first.

There are two fixed pockets on the back side.

The larger one has Velcro strips inside.

Behind these two pockets is a large sleeve for a hydration bladder or an optional back stiffener.

On the opposite side, there are two small fixed pockets at the top, with laser-cut MOLLE Velcro below. To the right and left, there are webbing loops for shock cord.

Two additional pouches are Velcroed in here. Both are the same width, but one is slightly taller than the other.

Conclusion

I’ve mainly used the backpack to organize my “car EDC” so far. I’ll be trying it out for other things as well and will update the conclusion afterward.

Usage
It’s obviously excellent as a small bug-out bag or escape backpack. With its compartments, it’s also versatile for organizing gear. The pictures certainly provide a good insight into this. The removable Velcro pouches enhance the modularity, allowing you to easily attach other Velcro modules or MOLLE pouches.

Final Thoughts
Proven TT quality in the form of a small backpack. It’s an interesting product that I now primarily keep in my car. I especially like that the shoulder straps can be hidden, making the backpack easier to store as a bag.
