I'm more of a "get home bag" guy. It would take very extraordinary conditions to make me want to leave my home, especially on foot.
I carry a 5.11 Rush 12 backpack everyday with laptop, notebooks, and all the necessities to conduct business. On the side of that pack, I have a Maxpedition CAP pouch attached with quick release straps. Inside the pouch I keep (don't laugh) emergency poncho, compass, flashlight, small stainless ruler with T-square, Wiha bit kit, Kershaw Barge (for the prybar), Leatherman Skeletool, 25' of paracord, mini roll of duct tape, light stick, weatherproof matches, first aid kit, sanitary napkin, rape whistle and mini space pen. On the front of the Rush12 is a slim admin pouch with pens, pencils, highlighter, toothpicks, and a Write-In-The Rain pad. Also slipped into the molle straps on the Rush12 is a Cold Steel Shark and a Streamlight ProTac 90. This is with me everyday, unless I'm flying and then I remove the CAP pouch because of the blades on the Barge and Leatherman. I've played around with trying to equip a bigass pack with all the bugout gear, but my minimalist approach works best for me. This is in addition to a folder and flashlight in my pockets everyday. In my car I keep an emergency tote full of other survival gear and tools including a zombie suppression trench hawk. My goal in a shtf situation would be to get home to the homestead at all costs where food, water, weapons, dogs and my badass wife are waiting.
Anyway, enough of my "get home bag" philosophy.
As others have said, if you're really bugging out and not bugging in, a folder is of limited use. A small sturdy fixed blade would be more important along side a SAK or small multi-tool. I'd suggest a Mora Companion and either a SAK Tinkerer or a Leatherman Squirt if you're on a budget. If you must have a folder, go for the CS with Triad Lock that fits your taste. I love me some Benchmade Bugout but in reality, other than for weight concerns, it's not a bugout knife.
