I would much rather have somewhere that I could put stuff and live for long term in a long term situation. I wouldn't carry 47 lbs in the bag. I would also carry a fishing rod.
It depends. Fire in my area? Can i come back? EMP? Can i hunker down at home with my preps. That would be optimal. If i can drive i have enough gear to make it 30 or so days before pillaging. Maybe longer. I would take my basic bug out bag with a S#@! ton of more gear. Then drop stuff as i go as needed...
First, bright electric lights. Next, binoculars. Sets the tone... I can see the headline: Exhausted Man Found Crushed Under Pile of Garbage, Five Miles From Home.
The main reason I ask about the Lilly and your wife doing a video is cause my little sister asked me why are there not many girls doing videos of bushcraft and she watch all the youtube bushcraft videos and survivability. She 14. And she loves watching it as much as I do. I take her with me when ever I do any type bushcraft outside.
I have to go lighter due to age and disability issues but I see a LOT of useful gear here and have a lot of take-aways from your build. It would be so easy to mix and match to build smaller bags and share the load with the family crew. Thanks for a great video.
It's crazy to think that you spent 5000 on your bug out bag, but it is not a bunch of junk. Quality bag, knife, tools, and gear it adds up quick. You also didn't have a firearm (unless i missed it) so add more money for that. I've been trying to get my bag built out not sure if I will hit 5,000 but it will not be cheap. Good quaint gear cost money.
After your video comparing all your bug out bags I was curious and added up all my gear and boy I though I had way less put into it, it was around $3k. And I thought it was around 500 😂 it made me realise you pay for less. What I mean by that is a $100 tent weighs 5-10 pounds but the more expensive the better quality but also the less it weighs. Also those f2o water filter/energy drinks are awesome can't wait to try them lol
Buddy, thanks for all the time you put into this video and also for typing out everything that's currently in your BOB--a lot don't do this and I know it's a lot of work on your part, so thanks. Pls keep us updated w/changes. Appreciate all you do.
Those trail lights are amazing. The jacket was cool too, I need one of those. Lots of neat ideas in there. Its funny I was thinking about how much I have invested in my large bug out bag, I bet its close to 5 grand as well. It just adds up, it sounds like a lot at first but it isnt really that much once you start adding things up.
Incredible video. Descriptive, informative, but to the point. I can honestly admit there were several items in this bag that made me rethink my loadout, specifically the lighting, filtration straws and trap/alert systems. Thanks for the video man keep up the good work! Oh, also, your kids are adorable and the fact you used them for demonstrations was icing on the cake.
#dropforgedsurvival do you use, test, try all of the gear you select to put in your bag? Just as I have noticed that non of your gear is dirty or used all still in its wrapper or packaging!!!
Dagnabitt!!! Thanks for these wonderful opportunities. Didn't make it in on this GAW, but hope I can on the next one... Take care, "GOD Bless", sincerely -
Here in Norway, the nights are often really cold, even during summer. So most of the space in my bug out bag goes to a warm and big sleeping bag, a tent and a good sleeping mat. Sadly there’s little space left for other gadgets and tools. I can mostly carry the essentials, but little more.
SO cool, that bug out bag is epic, I got a lot of ideas from it too, I love that bug out roll, I need to get one sometime it's really cool, I found a lot of cool things on this video, thanks again for all the hard work you put into this channel. You are a big inspiration for me, glad I found this channel.
Great video as always. I really liked the big knife. You said it was from Canada. Where? You definitely have a great bug out bag. What I'm setting up falls in the 500 dollar range. I need to get water treatment bottles. The one you have in your bug out bag. Where was it from again? Take care. Happy Birthday to your wife.
OK, a couple of comments here. - I 100% agree about prefacing your video with the disclaimer about this bag isn't the "end all definition" of a big out bag. Some people don't understand that there isn't a right or wrong way, but only what's best for you based on your needs. You made a point of saying your needs in Texas. Excellent that you packed for your terrain and climate. Someone in Alaska will need different kinds of preps, like bear spray and snow shoes. Know your needs when you pack. All my food gets packed into bear cans, guess why? Thumbs up! -Outdoor Mama had more bounce than the knife, that's secure! Definitely something for me to consider to replace my current BOB knife system or at least try out. -Trip wires. I always recognized them as good camp signals but it never really crossed my mind for my BOB. Now I can see how useful they can be and don't use up too much space. I'm going to look into it further now. -I love your organization skills! That's something that I need to pay more attention to with all my packs. Right now, they're basically just stuffed in together. I'm re-evaluating how I pack now. -I really loved seeing how many redundancies you packed for your most critical gear, like water and fire. True to the prepper credo of having backups for your backups. Same here! -I noticed that you didn't mention pew pews here but I'm confident that it's part of your gear. -And I also agree about conserving your prepared foods for those times when fishing and hunting small game don't pan out. There are plenty of fish, squirrels, chipmunks, ground hogs etc that should be targeted first before exhausting your supplies. Once you've established a long term shelter or camp, then you can hunt bigger game like deer and hogs that you can eat now and preserve the rest for more meals later without having to waste or haul all that meat with you. Or, use the extra meat for trading before it can spoil. Thumbs up for that nugget of info! Thanks for the peek into your Big BOB, Chris, another excellent video! I regret that I can only give you one thumbs up when I really want to give you more.
Great kit sir. My main bug out plan is to actually bug in at all cost. Most all of my peeps are right here. If I can’t stay in my home then the situation must be extremely bad. In that case I’m most likely not coming back home. So the only bug out bag I own is a INCH bag with enough food to get me through about 3 weeks until I can get established at my bug out location. Thanks for sharing.
Jack G. INCH Bag..... I get the “TERM” but yeah... bug out bag to me.... Same exact thing. Yes bugging in is always Ideal. That is your main “castle” as it were.
As I see it, when you pack you consider every possible disaster/situation. When the time comes you choose what to carry with you depending on what you have to deal with. As for water and food : how familiar with the terrain you are and your knowledge about fauna and flora will make the difference. In a disaster like an earthquake, if you survive, food and water will be provided relatively quick but shelter and fuel for cooking / heating/ lighting will be in demand. In a total lockdown supplies would be few but you have shelter. If you caught in a wildfire ? Where are you? In a car, in your home, backpacking? What is that tool or that technic that will help you? You can't be prepared for everything but try to simulate the most common scenarios and what you'll need to copy for a day or a year. Disasters happen every day around the globe, it doesn't need to be an Apocalypse.
Great video yet again. The one take away I have found is that $5000 sounds like so much money but, most of the kit is not very expensive items in and of themselves it just adds up. I got some cool ideas that I havent seen before
It does sound like ALOT at first... Take Video game Consoles for Example... "If your a Gamer" Buy a new system when it comes out... Good Headphones, Xbox Live Memberships, Several Wireless Controllers, Then the games......... give it 3-5 years you can drop $60 here, $100 there, $20 here.... before long you have $3,000 or more into something like a occasional hobby or past time.
Great video! Gave me some ideas to tweak my BOB. Also, I signed up on the KC Knives website so I know when they have knives back in stock. SWEET! Take care!
Very diverse bag and well equipped. I may have missed it but do you keep clothes in that bag as well? ie, socks,shirt. 21 days is along time to be in the same briefs. Lol. Great video as alway. Keep it up Chris!
I saw you have a set of OPA's in your trauma kit, but didn't see any NPA's. Do you carry those? I have found a lot of times the blockage/swelling issue is beyond the OPA reach, and nasal is the only way to get a functional airway. also, for organized, non tangle cordage, you might try a doughnut. I have a video on making them that I used paracord with, but I also use the 425 and 275 lb cords as well. you can get 300' in a very easy to pack and use quick deploy doughnut.
DropForgedSurvival Thanks, I haven't done anything like this but I'd like to do a hunting trip for a week. Also I think I skipped too far ahead, can you give me the time stamp for your big knife and the orange handle sword?
Is there any way to just be able to buy a pre made bag identical to the one that you have shown here,either by you or a reputable site or other? really would love to have one.
What is you communications plan? How will you listen in to government or other broadcasts that may have information you may want or need? I didn't see a radio, either one- or two-way.
Videos like this make me realize how simple I think my bug out bag is probably way lighter and way more simple may post a video of if anybody's interested
I have been waiting for the breakdown of this pack since you first talked about it. Does the knife interfere with the chest strap of the pack? That is a great set up. Didn't hear you mention the stitches from when you cut your leg or did I just miss it.
Cool video gosh that is some awesome stuff in there I could only afford one thing in there😂thanks for this amazing video and nice merch. What is the bug out roll and the brand. I recommend a toothbrush and stuff like that just helps cuz you don’t want ur teeth hurting👍where do you get most of ur items?
In my humble opinion those wide dispersal lights and battery pack are ridiculous. A smaller hand torch plus small head torch would be more energy efficient and weigh so much less. Add a solar panel to recharge and you’ll have available light for weeks.
@@DropForgedSurvival Yes. People like to criticize for having lots of gear. I think gear is fine if you know what you're doing and could get by without it. Have it and use it all you want but don't rely on it with your life. At least that's the goal... I currently lack the gear and the skill but I'm working on both.
One of my fav items of my bugout bag is my DJI Mavick.....being able to get an arial view of my surrounding and recon is invaluable to me. When Hurricane Harvey hit I able to see which entrances to my neighborhood were flooded. I could imagine using this if stuck on the highway to gage traffic
Is it wrong that my b.o.b mimics just about everything about yours lol from my edc to my bug out roll, I can honestly say your channel excellerated my prep knowledge 1000% as far as gear goes... still waiting to win a drawing one day lol
Army load-outs can easily be twice that weight, or more. For an in-shape person this would be very manageable, even over long distance. The pack is well suited to the task and the gear roll is pure genius.
@@DropForgedSurvival what happens after you've walked around your farm with whatever on your back? You go home... this bag has 47 pounds of crap. No water. Claim you aren't going to eat on day one. No clothing for cold weather. Sincerely take this bag out for 3 days, 15 miles per day. And let us know how many more days you want to carry that around for.
@@roberttosa2560 you know what happens in the army? You go back to a base where there is food water and shelter or you get resupplied at a future point. I agree. There are lots of items here that are useful. I just disgree with carrying that much stuff for when you need to escape from an area.
Hello. I love your description of the survival kit and I think there are some things I would want to get for mine. Unless I missed it, I did not see where I can get the trip wire kit. Can you tell me where I can buy this? It sounds like a great safety/warning tool.
Great video as usual lots of depth to the production. This is all American Preppers EDC, I think you can push it to 10,000 and it may be an acceptable bug out bag! We have a lot of the same gear moving the roll of course, I use a osprey pack but Kifaru has a good reputation and is less yuppyish.
This is where primitive skills come into play. Tools make the outdoors and survival simpler and more efficient. Knowledge helps you think on your feet if things go wrong!
Although I enjoy very much those "primitive surviving" videos, this video is practically useful and entertaining at the same time! I like the idea of your "just in case pack", but I would like to see more redundancy in case you somehow lose the backpack. Keep up the good videos!
the only thing i can think of to swap out is to get some spiderwire braid fishing line in the 8lb test diameter (its something like 30lb test line) make awesome thread for repairs can use it to fish ofc trip wire replacement etc.
i have a bug out bag here in australia not in case of apocalypse but bush fire . been a soldier for 5 years and there is a lot of things you forget and a lot of thing you wont use , you cant recreate the comfort of your home in the wild. mist important is water food, stove , shelter toiletery ,clothes to change , a yoga mat sleeping bag to protect you from the cold coming from the floor , that was what we used in the foreign legion (france) work for summer and snowy winter . this is the fundamuntal , of course you need one shovel a knife and a tub you can colapse , headlamp and 20m climbing rope . the big question is can you hunt and fish and walk at least 50 km /day ? do you have basuc medical training? we had this issue in the jungle , people got sick or infection and we barely knew how to heal , it lead to a med evac .. there is some survival training you can follow. anyway you carry way too much stuff its going to be an headache to grab the stuff you need from the bottom and that is how you loose an item every days.
Super impressed with the amount of thought put into your kit. There's not a single thing you haven't thought of. Awesome guys!! PS:I'm definetely gonna be buying a few things that you have, so thank you for all of the links below. 👌
Commo?? Lol what language is that?... Anyway, yes I understand radios would be awesome, I always have a long set of walkies in my car and another in my girlfriends just in case... Buuut, in a serious situation the last thing you wanna worry about is having a way to charge those or keep numerous amounts of batteries in them, and unless you have a giant solar panel I'd honestly say it's unrealistic in an apocalyptic, Bushcraft type of situation.
I’m not sure such a big knife is advantageous, except for one’s mental health? Small knife and an at hand folding saw to cut branches and which could also be used as a larger defence weapon might be preferable.
A lot of great stuff in there, but I feel like there are a lot of duplicates and a lot of heavy items that could be eliminated. Not at all worried about reducing weight?
If 47lbs is too much for someone... Seems like they one.... Need a better backpack... or they need to train with their pack and a 50lb bag a deer corn in it..... Training and preparation is key.
I was in the Army. Even with a ton of training, 45+ lbs is still heavy for long distances, especially if you'd have to do it quickly. Entirely depends upon what you're preparing for though. Everyone has to weigh [Prepared for anything] vs. [only the essentials but more mobile]. Good video though
I would not go for the titanium pot grabber because the metal will transfer the heat into your hand I would look at polymer ones but they High temperature silicone on the tips so the heat doesn’t affect them at all
I don’t know how I got here one minute I’m watching pewdiepie and the next I’m here and I hate camping and the outdoors but somehow this was thoroughly entertaining haha
I'm not shooting at you, but you spent 5k and have no cheap NVGs or Comms(Nightfox Cape 160.00 , a Baofeng UV-5R 25.00 both sold at Amazon) You do have bright ass lights on your pack (that can be seen from miles away) I do like the trip wire set up . And do yourself a solid remove the tourniquet from the plastic cover and set it up.
*SO! Where do you Land on the Bug Survival Bag? 3 Days, 3 Weeks, or Longer? and How does that affect how you plan or Pack?*
Brooks Hill Bushcraft... We practice and Learn some primitive skills and foraging but I would not call myself a “Bushcrafter”
I would much rather have somewhere that I could put stuff and live for long term in a long term situation. I wouldn't carry 47 lbs in the bag. I would also carry a fishing rod.
omgitsfirekiller/ Robert hewitt If a fishing rod works for you! Do it! But i love my Cabuya Hand Lone
Koda jay I have links to my Personal Bow in the Video Description
It depends. Fire in my area? Can i come back? EMP? Can i hunker down at home with my preps. That would be optimal. If i can drive i have enough gear to make it 30 or so days before pillaging. Maybe longer. I would take my basic bug out bag with a S#@! ton of more gear. Then drop stuff as i go as needed...
First, bright electric lights. Next, binoculars. Sets the tone... I can see the headline: Exhausted Man Found Crushed Under Pile of Garbage, Five Miles From Home.
Lol
Hahaha

Great bug out bag, wish I could spend that much without someone in my family complaining
Just slowly build it over time
Can’t believe there’s not more likes!! So true the struggle is real!!!
“The more you know the less you need”
That’s my philosophy
Good on you Dan! Way to keep learning!
Exactly what I was thinking
I have to go lighter due to age and disability issues but I see a LOT of useful gear here and have a lot of take-aways from your build. It would be so easy to mix and match to build smaller bags and share the load with the family crew. Thanks for a great video.
Find what works for you and go for it!
It's crazy to think that you spent 5000 on your bug out bag, but it is not a bunch of junk. Quality bag, knife, tools, and gear it adds up quick. You also didn't have a firearm (unless i missed it) so add more money for that. I've been trying to get my bag built out not sure if I will hit 5,000 but it will not be cheap.

Mine! -_- It might be the cost of living difference that might be a possibility
Mine! -_- I know here in Alabama the cost of living is way cheaper than anything in California
Buddy, thanks for all the time you put into this video and also for typing out everything that's currently in your BOB--a lot don't do this and I know it's a lot of work on your part, so thanks. Pls keep us updated w/changes. Appreciate all you do.
Thanks alot Shane. Means alot bud.
I like watching bob videos because it let's me see what I have missing in mind if I have anything missing
Steven Mendoza glad our channel is helping you! It’s what we do it for.
Very cool bag great gear what do you use for self-defense being from Texas i’m assuming you probably carry a 45 ACP and maybe AR or AK
Those trail lights are amazing. The jacket was cool too, I need one of those. Lots of neat ideas in there. Its funny I was thinking about how much I have invested in my large bug out bag, I bet its close to 5 grand as well. It just adds up, it sounds like a lot at first but it isnt really that much once you start adding things up.
Iridium242 Oh yes! The Kogalla RA Lights are pretty EPIC
Incredible video. Descriptive, informative, but to the point. I can honestly admit there were several items in this bag that made me rethink my loadout, specifically the lighting, filtration straws and trap/alert systems. Thanks for the video man keep up the good work! Oh, also, your kids are adorable and the fact you used them for demonstrations was icing on the cake.
#dropforgedsurvival do you use, test, try all of the gear you select to put in your bag? Just as I have noticed that non of your gear is dirty or used all still in its wrapper or packaging!!!
Wait inch stands for im never coming home. If its only for 21 days... what do you expect to happen after that?
Dagnabitt!!! Thanks for these wonderful opportunities. Didn't make it in on this GAW, but hope I can on the next one... Take care, "GOD Bless", sincerely -

one of these days I'm gonna get one of those Bugout Rolls
Kaylynn Strain 100% worth the investment

Alex Tucker Their knives are incredible
Btw that shirt your son was wearing is so cute. The “ways to annoy your parents” lol. My little man would be interested in that for sure.
Hahaha Thanks
Sweet bag!!! Lots of goodies!!
Very diverse bag and well equipped. I may have missed it but do you keep clothes in that bag as well? ie, socks,shirt. 21 days is along time to be in the same briefs. Lol. Great video as alway. Keep it up Chris!
Marlah4 Yes... but its a small bag with 3 socks, 3 Under garments, and 3 tops... Small little kit
I saw you have a set of OPA's in your trauma kit, but didn't see any NPA's. Do you carry those? I have found a lot of times the blockage/swelling issue is beyond the OPA reach, and nasal is the only way to get a functional airway. also, for organized, non tangle cordage, you might try a doughnut.

Other Than Intended Purpose Yes sir. We have a Nasopharyngeal Airway!
This video was awesome because of that thumbnail alone. Very visually appealing and will grab plenty of attention.
Glad you enjoy the Video John.
DropForgedSurvival Thanks, I haven't done anything like this but I'd like to do a hunting trip for a week. Also I think I skipped too far ahead, can you give me the time stamp for your big knife and the orange handle sword?
DropForgedSurvival Never mind it's a saw!!
Great bug out bag. Lots of cool stuff also.
Sick ... I'm newly into the prepping community... this is a great setup to try to emulate
Nice! You gave me a lot of ideas to build my own
Rhaylan Klosowski Awesome bud! Glad you found the information useful!
Is there any way to just be able to buy a pre made bag identical to the one that you have shown here,either by you or a reputable site or other? really would love to have one.
larry kaveney I have most of the items linked in the video description.... Closest you can get
TH-cam suggested your bug out vehicle video. I've been binge watching all night. Awesome knife
Awesome setup! Thanks for the look and ideas!
What is you communications plan? How will you listen in to government or other broadcasts that may have information you may want or need? I didn't see a radio, either one- or two-way.
very cool set up bro great gear to have on hand cheers
This video is amazing and i want the exact same thing
hey Chris...... very cool set up.......what abt plates and water containers ? is it like in a different configuration out side the bag?
Very efficient gear and relevant for survival especially with harsh conditions. Good recommendations.
Thomas Duncan Glad you find the episode useful Thomas! Thanks bud
I still enjoy looking back at your videos to double check to see what I might be missing in any of my kits.
Dude; your wife is a trooper, stand in the rain, just to get the shot..
Good stuff guys
tim berg Hahaha We make a great team! Plus it was Free A/C from a HOT DAY!
Videos like this make me realize how simple I think my bug out bag is probably way lighter and way more simple may post a video of if anybody's interested
Aha my kits costs 8 k oh wait I'm broke now the tent is now my house
evolve ? Well at least you had your bag
Did you do a review on the tooblight? If not, would love to see that!!
Sarge PalmettoVIP We did at some point 3-4 years ago
DropForgedSurvival ok i’ll find it, thanks!
Another good headline Man found crushed under pile of amazon purchases
I like the video very informative. My personal curiosity what is the overall weight of that bag fully loaded?
Cool bugout bag now I need to save like $5000 now hahaha love your videos keep up the awesome work.
Keep up the awesome work man! Love these kit videos
I have been waiting for the breakdown of this pack since you first talked about it. Does the knife interfere with the chest strap of the pack? That is a great set up. Didn't hear you mention the stitches from when you cut your leg or did I just miss it.
Rick Kerans No... Not at all
Cool video gosh that is some awesome stuff in there I could only afford one thing in there😂thanks for this amazing video and nice merch. What is the bug out roll and the brand. I recommend a toothbrush and stuff like that just helps cuz you don’t want ur teeth hurting👍where do you get most of ur items?
i am graham Canadian Prepper sells the Bugout Roll
Thank you
Bro I literally have like almost the exact same paracord arm band I have a southern grind one they are so cool aren't they!
In my humble opinion those wide dispersal lights and battery pack are ridiculous. A smaller hand torch plus small head torch would be more energy efficient and weigh so much less. Add a solar panel to recharge and you’ll have available light for weeks.
I absolutely love these review videos you guys do.
Nice bug out bag, like the group shots with the bow. Have to get my hunting license next month for here, because for is due in August.
Moonwolf71 Happy Hunting!
Sweet pack and awesome video! Keep up the good work!
Randall Wood Thanks alot Randall
For you're fishing kit I'd recommend a Kastking Blackhawk II rod it's a real durable telescopic rod that can fit perfectly in you're bag.
You're always a great help Thank you
That is crazy awesome!
Nice shirt. What is a good sleeping pad for a low price. Going backpacking and camping.
Nice videos, man. It is unfortunate not to have all this equipment in Brazil. I love your content too much. Congratulations!
Glad you like them!
Gear is helpful. Knowledge and skill is vital
Yes. We agree. Gear makes the skills more efficient
@@DropForgedSurvival Yes. People like to criticize for having lots of gear. I think gear is fine if you know what you're doing and could get by without it. Have it and use it all you want but don't rely on it with your life. At least that's the goal... I currently lack the gear and the skill but I'm working on both.
Why am i here at 2am in the morning
You enjoy the scent of my hair on my pillow? No clue.
Man, 5k. Lotta $$ but looks like y'all be good for more than 21 days. Great vids, keep giving me ideas for what I wanna use!
Ideas make the world go round bud!
3 items i would add though. 2 very nice 2 way radios, and a sidearm. Ive always loved the term 2 is 1 and 1 is none.
There you go!
Agreed, but he is pretty good with that bow. And a bow is silent.
One of my fav items of my bugout bag is my DJI Mavick.....being able to get an arial view of my surrounding and recon is invaluable to me. When Hurricane Harvey hit I able to see which entrances to my neighborhood were flooded. I could imagine using this if stuck on the highway to gage traffic
There you go.
Something's I'd add would be the spice mix from Wal-Mart, sunglasses, and all weather pen and notepad.
Is it wrong that my b.o.b mimics just about everything about yours lol from my edc to my bug out roll, I can honestly say your channel excellerated my prep knowledge 1000% as far as gear goes... still waiting to win a drawing one day lol
Love your channel
Sir I didn't even get through 2 min but you have even traps in your bag I'm subbing
One heck of a nice setup!
Lotsa redundancy. Too much weight. Not practical.
I would love to get into survival prep with my family like y'all are.
Love the bug out bag and awesome design with the shirt
ONETIME OUTDOORS Dj Thanks alot
This is actually insane... any chance you have hiked 10 miles with this?
47 lbs is insane? Clearly you never hauled 150 pounds of deer corn on your back on a farm.
Army load-outs can easily be twice that weight, or more. For an in-shape person this would be very manageable, even over long distance. The pack is well suited to the task and the gear roll is pure genius.
@@DropForgedSurvival what happens after you've walked around your farm with whatever on your back? You go home... this bag has 47 pounds of crap. No water. Claim you aren't going to eat on day one. No clothing for cold weather. Sincerely take this bag out for 3 days, 15 miles per day. And let us know how many more days you want to carry that around for.
@@roberttosa2560 you know what happens in the army? You go back to a base where there is food water and shelter or you get resupplied at a future point. I agree. There are lots of items here that are useful. I just disgree with carrying that much stuff for when you need to escape from an area.
@@DropForgedSurvival no i havent't you warrior!😬 I have done the AT, CDT and PCT, but that doesn't mean anything...
Nice assortment, gives me a few ideas for additions to my kit.
Hello. I love your description of the survival kit and I think there are some things I would want to get for mine. Unless I missed it, I did not see where I can get the trip wire kit. Can you tell me where I can buy this? It sounds like a great safety/warning tool.
Search online for high durability trip wire kit I searched around and found it but I dont have the link sorry
Great video as usual lots of depth to the production. This is all American Preppers EDC, I think you can push it to 10,000 and it may be an acceptable bug out bag! We have a lot of the same gear moving the roll of course, I use a osprey pack but Kifaru has a good reputation and is less yuppyish.
Canadian Prepper I stole ALL AMERICAN PREPPERS EDC CHECKLIST! Haha
Best part of your videos is all the links you provide! So many other good videos out there, but without the links they are just a let-down.
The easiest to get More Info, Pricing, and Make decisions later on down the road. Keeps things simple for yall!
In the event of losing everything do you have a back up plan?
This is where primitive skills come into play. Tools make the outdoors and survival simpler and more efficient. Knowledge helps you think on your feet if things go wrong!
I’m slowly but surely build a great kit like that
chillz0052 Take it slow and Do what works for you bud!
Although I enjoy very much those "primitive surviving" videos, this video is practically useful and entertaining at the same time!
I like the idea of your "just in case pack", but I would like to see more redundancy in case you somehow lose the backpack.
Keep up the good videos!
Great stuff. Keep up the great vids.
Johnny Love Thanks Johnny
the only thing i can think of to swap out is to get some spiderwire braid fishing line in the 8lb test diameter (its something like 30lb test line) make awesome thread for repairs can use it to fish ofc trip wire replacement etc.
i have a bug out bag here in australia not in case of apocalypse but bush fire . been a soldier for 5 years and there is a lot of things you forget and a lot of thing you wont use , you cant recreate the comfort of your home in the wild.
mist important is water food, stove , shelter toiletery ,clothes to change , a yoga mat sleeping bag to protect you from the cold coming from the floor , that was what we used in the foreign legion (france) work for summer and snowy winter .
this is the fundamuntal , of course you need one shovel a knife and a tub you can colapse , headlamp and 20m climbing rope .
the big question is can you hunt and fish and walk at least 50 km /day ? do you have basuc medical training?
we had this issue in the jungle , people got sick or infection and we barely knew how to heal , it lead to a med evac ..
there is some survival training you can follow.
anyway you carry way too much stuff its going to be an headache to grab the stuff you need from the bottom and that is how you loose an item every days.
Super impressed with the amount of thought put into your kit. There's not a single thing you haven't thought of. Awesome guys!! PS:I'm definetely gonna be buying a few things that you have, so thank you for all of the links below. 👌
Squirrel's Survival Thanks alot bud
Commo? Didn't see a one or two-way radio. How do you keep informed other than by what you can see?
Commo?? Lol what language is that?... Anyway, yes I understand radios would be awesome, I always have a long set of walkies in my car and another in my girlfriends just in case... Buuut, in a serious situation the last thing you wanna worry about is having a way to charge those or keep numerous amounts of batteries in them, and unless you have a giant solar panel I'd honestly say it's unrealistic in an apocalyptic, Bushcraft type of situation.
wow listed it all I am going to go see if it's worth it for camping
I’m not sure such a big knife is advantageous, except for one’s mental health? Small knife and an at hand folding saw to cut branches and which could also be used as a larger defence weapon might be preferable.
Bro that must be heavy af
Nice job keep up the good work
Thanks
Pretty nice kit bud
A lot of great stuff in there, but I feel like there are a lot of duplicates and a lot of heavy items that could be eliminated. Not at all worried about reducing weight?
If 47lbs is too much for someone... Seems like they one.... Need a better backpack... or they need to train with their pack and a 50lb bag a deer corn in it..... Training and preparation is key.
I was in the Army. Even with a ton of training, 45+ lbs is still heavy for long distances, especially if you'd have to do it quickly. Entirely depends upon what you're preparing for though. Everyone has to weigh [Prepared for anything] vs. [only the essentials but more mobile]. Good video though
How heavy is the pack dry, and how much with water/food?
I would not go for the titanium pot grabber because the metal will transfer the heat into your hand I would look at polymer ones but they High temperature silicone on the tips so the heat doesn’t affect them at all
I don’t know how I got here one minute I’m watching pewdiepie and the next I’m here and I hate camping and the outdoors but somehow this was thoroughly entertaining haha
Pewdiepie is a huge outdoorsman. You didn't know that? Only logical! hahahaha jk. Welcome anyway.
Where you get those wax wood sticks? Do they work good?
Production HANGAR 51..... and or Amazon!
You can make them
I'm not shooting at you, but you spent 5k and have no cheap NVGs or Comms(Nightfox Cape 160.00 , a Baofeng UV-5R 25.00 both sold at Amazon) You do have bright ass lights on your pack (that can be seen from miles away) I do like the trip wire set up . And do yourself a solid remove the tourniquet from the plastic cover and set it up.
