It all began almost nine years ago when Dan, the owner of 3V Gear, was looking to build a bug out bag for himself and his wife. He was frustrated with the lack of features, low quality, and exorbitant cost. Did a bag really need to cost over $300? Dan didn't think so and started working with a manufacturer to build a bag that fit his requirements. This was the birth of the Paratus 3-Day Operator's Pack.
