I was in a real bug out situation the last few days NorCal Kincaid fire... I live in rural and went to urban to bug..i recommend extra clothes a charger for devices, a good book to read, plenty of cash, N95 vented particulate respirator, Grayl water filter, good tequila to help stay calm and don't always believe over dramatic newscasts...all buyout situations are different and can be very challenging to totally dial in what you need... Flexibility is a huge consideration.. That being said your vids have been helpful but I still need to dial in for future BUgs
Really great video I was looking for exactly that I am 68 years and still relatively strong But my bugout bag i made years ago has become far to heavy Your video has given me the right direction Thank you for the valuable info Greetings from Australia
I had never considered using a contractor's bag as a way to keep my pack dry in a river crossing. That piece of information alone was worth the price of admission. :-) Thank you, sir.
I would add a pair of socks! Great morale booster, lightweight, and important for hygiene. Also a couple needles for sewing up clothes/ ripped gear, and tape to close up any holes in your tarp. All lightweight items that can really really help!
I hear you on needing a light weight bag. I am 70 and trying to get into better shape but I can't hike 25 miles in a day. I need realistic prep ideas. Thanks for the the video. I can always use new ideas.
What is the max weight that your willing to go that is comfortable for you? I am 34 and currently building a light weight back. A good way to keep weight is too have a litter of water eather in a bottle or a water platter. Also what do you have for food? Mres are nice to eat on the go but they can be heavy even if you strip them to just the main meals, freeze dry are light but needs water and if you want it hot you'll have to have a light weight cooking pot and the smallest rocket stove. Witch all adds up to almost the same weight to an mre. Are you in good health an dont need protein all the time? If so, 2 or 3 can foods of your choice, 2 granola bars, 1 protein bar. A 8x8 tarp an a form of cord can be used for a tent for summer weather. That's what I changed out an so far I have cut down a couple of pounds
Great video. Gave me ideas on some things to drop from my bag. And a few to add. One thing I would add is a hygiene kit. I put together a pretty good lightwight hygiene kit from the Dollar Tree.
This was great, I've been looking for "to bug out" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Janameron Tenylan System - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
I have one bug out bag and it has about everything I would need to survive in the wilderness other than some food which I would insert before leaving home. For food I have a light weight skillet with utensils, a large first aid kit, fire starter kit, a fire starter kit, folding saw, folding knife, plastic plates and cups, emergency radio, headlight, "C" cell flashlight, a hatchet (sometimes), camp stakes, steel straws, and a few other smaller items. Your kit is looking nice and you are prepared for a trip out camping and the bag looks great also.
I like your approach to lightness, portability and versatility. I too, have a similar system employing a poncho for both, shelter and rain protection and I also use the Esee 3. This knife is lightweight, compact but will do anything required of it. Thank you for the video and your ideas.
Well thought out and a good philosophy towards what you would actually need. Not overpacked and overweight and looks to be a reasonable weight. Without trying to add too much additional weight I would think about a couple minor additions. The silcock key as has already been mentioned, some insect repellent and fill up the remaining room in the Snopeak with instant soup/broth. I find both great restoritives when cold/tired. If you have a bit of extra room after getting your med pouch, I’d consider adding an extra pair of good socks, a thermal base layer shirt and a stocking hat. All can add immeasurably to your warmth & comfort while weighing very little and tacking up little room.
It's also a good way to get your self in trouble get caught with one you can get in trouble they will question you why do you have a 4way silkcock key on you
Very well thought out kit imo, great video. My kit is very similar to yours. If I could recommend one thing about your fire kit and its obviously not necessary but I personally wrap my stick of fat wood with a piece of cotton t shirt (12×12 roughly) to keep my fat wood from drying out which over time of course the outside will but it also gives me a dedicated piece of cotton material for char or any of the many reasons for carrying cotton(instead of cutting up my bandanna) Thanks for taking the time to make this video and as I said I know it isn't necessary just something I do. This video reminded me to get on switching my summer setups to winter. Thanks and love the channel
My recommendation would have his second pack next to your primary backpacks so you can grab a few items inside of it to do or go the optional task at hand. One recommendation if you’re going to be walking always have sunglasses, talcum powder, hat, bandanna for protection from the sun primarily. One thing to have in your optional second backpack is a pair of chopsticks or better yet longer barbecue skewers used as chopsticks,skews or modify it to be a sumo sowing needle to stitch a bag or tent. I would also add a P 38 CanOpener it weight is nothing and worth non-effort to open up a can of whatever.Also add some bouillon cubes to your coffee kit. Being old like you and I recommendation get for your garage toolbox an 10X mirror and second for your first aid kit. Because little specs falling to the eye and you can’t see it without glasses 🤓. The mirror is very handy.
Nice Video, brother! I would recommend having your turnicate VERY accessible. Possibly on one of your shoulder straps. A real bad would on the arm or leg and you could bleed out in about 20 seconds. Also, maybe add some glow stick and another light source. Everything else looks pretty spot on. Cheers!
I like it. Three suggestions - First, keep a lighter in the front pocket, so you don't have to go into your pack and retrieve your fire kit; and allows you to socialize with a smoker without making yourself vulnerable. Second, get a small hand crank radio/NOA radio to get information in an emergency. Third, a small sanitary kit, i.e. TP, hand sanitizer (alcohol based is also great for fire), toothbrush and toothpaste, etc.
Silcock key is a must...Check out some Military surplus pouches in your area ...maxepition has awsome ones... But you got it pretty much down... Light and multi uses...is good factor.. Great job..
Nice setup and I have an idea for the first aid I have found on a mail order site ( wish.com ) has first aid bags that you can attach to mollies webbing or you can use a shaving kit bag.also I would add a sling shot and marbles to at least procure small game for food if need be, it will help if you are not caring a fire arm.
Pocket Bellows ........ I Like that, Like you said an old antenna will make you one too. I also carry a couple of Chemicals that combined make fire. Never can tell if you get wet in below freezing temps and your motor skills go down it's about the easiest way to start a fire I know of .
Just my opinion...get yourself a pouch and move your tourniquet to your shoulder strap... if a situation calls for a tourniquet, you dont want to be looking for it, you'll want it outside of the pack and accessible by either hand.
It is a good bag, I would consider changing 3 elements that I think would give you a more complete kit: 1- If you change the poncho for one of wilderness innovation, you would also have a hammock. 2- Change the woobie for a Helikon Swagman Roll, it will work much better combined with the poncho. 3- I'd change the All-wheather blanket for the UST Tube Tarp, better quality and better tarp for that hammock
@Sparrow Flying From the actual patterns, I love the rts atacs fg-x 1.9, is the green camo of this video th-cam.com/video/ZacwPRGjLRg/w-d-xo.html , and look at the dimensions, for me is the long, PSSLE (equal long front and back) or PSSLB (more long at back than front).
All ways gets me how everyone chooses many similar items. Advice I always give is to learn your gear, and more importantly learn the skills to do without everything. And buy the lightest and best possible gear you can afford.
I'd refrain from just ripping the pack open like that you could damage the zippers or the track resulting in a pack that wont carry anything because it wont close anymore , instead use the zippers.
What every married person is forgetting is a very handy collapsible back pack or a fanny pack. Why? Because women need special items, important documents, clothing and they can also help you carry some of the load. This is assuming that she did not make up her own bug out bag due to time restraints on getting out of town. Think of fire, earthquake , flash flooding.
An extra pair of socks would be great, spare underwear would be a plus, in cold weather a beanie or a balaclava would be advised, some tp or wet wipes would help with comfort. Very cold dry air sucks moisture out of your skin which makes you colder like sweating cools you when it’s hot, covering exposed skin with vaseline or lip balm can help a lot...

Fitness .. compared to some other Cultures that I have experienced or observed (I'm a born and bred South African), the Swiss rate amongst the least obese, generally most active groups I know of. The 'Swiss Grannies' are phenomenal .. and would give a good account of themselves at any 60+ Olympics 😊.
Morning buddy 😁. The perusal of of a bug out bag. Is money. Sales, money makeing etc. Peps like us, which I mean to say ex military no what to carry, how too carry it. An are fit. If you don't have the three main things Fitness, basic knowledge. Firearms skills. If ya don't learn the best way you can. But you have to get out an use the skills. Thanks for sharing an ya time buddy ATB Andy 🇬🇧 useful ruck they mate.
Everyone has made their suggestions already so I won't add anymore. Perhaps a UHF VHF ham radio if you were licensed. At first I thought that was a Condor compact assault pack. That is my daily carry. If it opened like a clam shell it would be identical to this. :)
From experience hiking 3 to 4 times a week for me 20 lbs. is the most realistic weight for me for a long hike. I'm 5'9" 160 lbs. Any more than that after 10 miles I'm exhausted, feet with broken blisters. If you don't hike 3 to 4 times a week your feet will give out on you. Water is the issue for desert dwellers. Hiking on a hot day I go through 6 liters. Choose your contents wisely. Good topic W!
Good point .. 6 litres. I grew up and lived in Southern Africa, Served there and have experienced severe thirst. Even now, pushing 70, I go NOWHERE without water and a means to gather and treat it .. period!
I don't want to come through as a troll, especially since I don't know you, and this is the first video I viewed on your channel. But I really don't get it. In what scenario would you want to leave the safety of your home with only a small backpack? Fast and light for 2-3 days would certainly include a stove, fuel and food. In short - no dependencies. Gathering firewood and food as you go is not fast in my book. And I think the backpack is too small. There should be enough space for food and clothing. If family members are dependent on you, you should have space for their load, or some of it as well, and preferably some space to spare. Bugging out seams like a last resort, so you should have room for the things you need to quickly adapt to a serious situation, and in any circumstance a large backpack with a light load is more comfortable than a stuffed / heavy smaller backpack. There's quite a few other changes I would consider as well, but this comment is too long already ;-)
my bob, ghb, just-in-case bag(the same bag) hovers right around 15-17lbs. im in an urban environment so, there's things i can scavenge before the prepper/survivalist/readiness marauders show up.
kidbach never count on scavenging, not only does it waste time you could be using to escape or fortify, but it’s also being hopeful that you will be able to do something in a situation we’re everything goes to shit. Scavenging also puts you at risk because scavenging is the only way non preppers will survive. They’ll be whiling to kill you for it, and they’ll be after it every day.
I'm a Marine. Great pack. Only thing i would suggest is ditch the boo boo BS and double up on the serious stuff. Israeli bandages, quick clot, sucking chest wounds. You can deal with a splinter without attention but a gunshot without attention will do you in. Stop the bleeding, start the breathing, protect the wound, treat for shock.
Maybe this is just me being both inspired by Mors Kochanski ("The more you know, the less you carry") and living in Europe, but I often find such survival-like approaches to a BOB pretty useless over here. We don't have vast distances between two towns or cities and no more real wilderness, and especially when it comes to self-defense, we can lean back as in Europe there is strict regulations regarding arms and such. So I'd rather carry some items like spare cash for public transport, some extra cigarettes and meds to trade in case of a crisis situation, am SD card with digital copies of my birth certificate and other important documents, and so on. I am not trying to call one or another approach towards BOBs out for being wrong, I just know how often such bags are filled with a ton of gear made for the most absurd and unlikely events. And as you said yourself: It is important to stay in good shape, and few people over here are - especially European preppers. Many just copy an American approach because they read some blog article onlinr and think that plenty of stuff turns them into master survivalists. Then they get a full camo, military backpack drawing a lot of attention, maybe even get their hands on (illegal) weapons and still spend 9 out of 10 hours in front of a computer screen rather than being physically active. No offense to anyone intended, just some thoughts from my side. ATB :-)

It looks like preppers finally realized packing their house in a back pack wasn’t going to work. Welcome back to reality. Shelter water food, basic needs never change.
A good Posting .. with plenty of common sense food for thought .. thanks. At times, a controversial subject .. open to heated debate. I support the 'Survival / SHTF' viewpoint that whatever the situation, "Your clothing is the most important survival tool you have. Dress properly and any emergency you may have to endure becomes more manageable." The Kit should, inter alia, contribute to: 1. Getting a good night's (day's) sleep (minimum 4 hrs sleep of which 2 hrs is REM) .. and waking up alive and functional thereafter. In Winter, if tired enough, you WILL sleep and perhaps freeze to death. 2. Staying Hydrated .. healthily so. Also .. 'Bug Out Bags' .. don't forget the Wife and Immediate Family, their needs, capabilities and skillsets. That said, herewith something to chew on: History has shown that hand drawn carts have played a major role in 'bugging out' previously aka 'becoming refugees'. Something to consider. With modern lightweight but robust materials .. plenty options are available. Can transport more for less associated effort .. flexible too. Bicycles too. The VC transported plenty on the Ho Chi Minh Trail pushing heavily loaded bicycles. I live in Switzerland and although I have a forest just 50m behind where I live and the Rhine River 100m in front of me, I tend towards being a 'Bugger-Inner' (no pun intended 😏). In a real SHTF situation, motor vehicles are most probably going nowhere (the roads will be jammed up or closed down tighter than a ...) and the forests cannot shelter / support the entire population for diddly squat. Any who are interested, perhaps take the time to watch an Old Timer You Tuber, 'logcabinlooms' .. his Posting on 4 Dec 2012 regarding 'Preppers'. Some sobering realities therein .. well worth a watch. Take care ..
I love ur videos guys, full of instresting TIPS, but ive a problem, a month ago I suffered a loss, and now my equipment is limited to a bugoutbag that I also use for excursions. it is difficult in Italy, without a job rebuild an emercengy system especially without my emergency food supplies, some of my tools, like saw, chainsaw, 2 sleeping bag (we r 3), 2 50liter backpack whit relative equipment we Need only basic stuffs, 2 sleepingbag 2 big backpack 2fulltang knife and one axe, the other stuffs are in our home like my fullbackpack, paramedic bag, self defence ecc.. they nave stole 2 full back packs few tools and a pallet of Seven seals and the other 3 emercengy food types. if someone can help us in any way we very grateful. I do not ask for money, only equipment that you no longer use, excesses in the stockpile of Emergency food like K ratione or mre. i need to folding saw too ... any way if someon want help im i can only be grateful.
@@femalebreastintercourse4738 Tampons are designed to stop bleeding. In a wound they do not promote clotting. The material is an incredible pain in the ass to remove from a wound, causing complications in treatment. Do your patient a favor and get packing gauze at the least.
check out Dave Canterbury on back pack frame made of PVC. I can modify what I want by putting different stuff on the frame- a little or a lot. unless you are doing a gray man from city to bush, my ruck is semi permanent and what Dave Canterbury calls "tool heavy". I see your gear is short term, and only point A to B with some gear disproportionate for the purpose you proclaim your bag to be for. if you plan on long term nomad, I'd go for a ruck that's tool heavy duty- with that you would need a frame. if you went this far, why not go all the way? the most criticism of this video should be water or lack of it after three days. I could have the same purpose of your bag shrunk down into the size of a haversack or a military gas mask bag and a 10 X 10 tarp without a frame. zombie apocalypse? come on? some people would think your crazy for what you showed. why divide like minded people with unnecessary comments?

Your kit is the most complete I have ever seen. Missing a whistle for help. congratulations, guaranteed hearing here from 🇧🇷🤝👏👏👏👏

In an urban/suburban situation, a 4 way sillcock key is a good way to get water from houses and commercial buildings
Provided the water pressure is still available
It's also a good way to get your self in trouble get caught with one you can get in trouble they will question you why do you have a 4way silkcock key on you
Its fkn pointless now . To many people have these fkn things.
Just out of curiosity, can you use like say the pliers on a multi tool to twist the knobs the same as the key. Or do they have ways to prevent that?

The best bob is the one actually on hand if needed. Less bulk the more likely this will happen. Nice video brother.
"Lightweight" has become the most important factor the more I hike/Walk in the woods.

Was doubtful at first about the title but nice pack. You got it covered. Good job!
Silcock key is a must...Check out some Military surplus pouches in your area ...maxepition has awsome ones...
But you got it pretty much down...
Light and multi uses...is good factor..
Great job..
Very informative..plus glad to see that bottle of "linament" in the corner..lol.

Do you not take any clothing such as socks, shirt, jacket?
May i ask about ur experties? Or learnt from videos like me?
From experience hiking 3 to 4 times a week for me 20 lbs. is the most realistic weight for me for a long hike. I'm 5'9" 160 lbs. Any more than that after 10 miles I'm exhausted, feet with broken blisters. If you don't hike 3 to 4 times a week your feet will give out on you. Water is the issue for desert dwellers. Hiking on a hot day I go through 6 liters. Choose your contents wisely. Good topic W!
Good point .. 6 litres.
I grew up and lived in Southern Africa, Served there and have experienced severe thirst. Even now, pushing 70, I go NOWHERE without water and a means to gather and treat it .. period!
I don't want to come through as a troll, especially since I don't know you, and this is the first video I viewed on your channel. But I really don't get it. In what scenario would you want to leave the safety of your home with only a small backpack? Fast and light for 2-3 days would certainly include a stove, fuel and food. In short - no dependencies. Gathering firewood and food as you go is not fast in my book. And I think the backpack is too small. There should be enough space for food and clothing. If family members are dependent on you, you should have space for their load, or some of it as well, and preferably some space to spare. Bugging out seams like a last resort, so you should have room for the things you need to quickly adapt to a serious situation, and in any circumstance a large backpack with a light load is more comfortable than a stuffed / heavy smaller backpack. There's quite a few other changes I would consider as well, but this comment is too long already ;-)
Hi. Nice video bro)
maybe gross wound irrigation, but not sterile so final irrigation prior to closure should be sterile.
What pack is that?
6:10
what is the name of the bag??
my bob, ghb, just-in-case bag(the same bag) hovers right around 15-17lbs. im in an urban environment so, there's things i can scavenge before the prepper/survivalist/readiness marauders show up.
kidbach never count on scavenging, not only does it waste time you could be using to escape or fortify, but it’s also being hopeful that you will be able to do something in a situation we’re everything goes to shit. Scavenging also puts you at risk because scavenging is the only way non preppers will survive. They’ll be whiling to kill you for it, and they’ll be after it every day.
Helikon makes a very nice med side pouch check it out
Great video, Car antenna , showing your age !
Another moral booster. A small bar of soap.
Stove ???
I'm a Marine. Great pack. Only thing i would suggest is ditch the boo boo BS and double up on the serious stuff. Israeli bandages, quick clot, sucking chest wounds. You can deal with a splinter without attention but a gunshot without attention will do you in. Stop the bleeding, start the breathing, protect the wound, treat for shock.
👊🏻👊🏻
Is that the thing and hulk I see
Yep!
6:40 😉
Maybe this is just me being both inspired by Mors Kochanski ("The more you know, the less you carry") and living in Europe, but I often find such survival-like approaches to a BOB pretty useless over here. We don't have vast distances between two towns or cities and no more real wilderness, and especially when it comes to self-defense, we can lean back as in Europe there is strict regulations regarding arms and such. So I'd rather carry some items like spare cash for public transport, some extra cigarettes and meds to trade in case of a crisis situation, am SD card with digital copies of my birth certificate and other important documents, and so on.
I am not trying to call one or another approach towards BOBs out for being wrong, I just know how often such bags are filled with a ton of gear made for the most absurd and unlikely events. And as you said yourself: It is important to stay in good shape, and few people over here are - especially European preppers. Many just copy an American approach because they read some blog article onlinr and think that plenty of stuff turns them into master survivalists. Then they get a full camo, military backpack drawing a lot of attention, maybe even get their hands on (illegal) weapons and still spend 9 out of 10 hours in front of a computer screen rather than being physically active.
No offense to anyone intended, just some thoughts from my side.
ATB :-)
Truth .. well put 👍.
Public Transport .. the Multi-Trip Tickets (here in Switzerland) are handy, can be utilised for most types of Transport and have a long Shelf Life.
Me .. I have an U-Abo valid for one Year that enables me to travel the entire NW Region.
A good reminder regarding the SD Card .. thanks. I've been threatening to do it but have never gotten around to it.
Most Swiss .. even the 'Old Fogies' (me included 😊) .. including the Swiss Grannies 😊, carry some form of 'Rugsack' with 'goodies' therein when going out.
Fitness .. compared to some other Cultures that I have experienced or observed (I'm a born and bred South African), the Swiss rate amongst the least obese, generally most active groups I know of. The 'Swiss Grannies' are phenomenal .. and would give a good account of themselves at any 60+ Olympics 😊.
It looks like preppers finally realized packing their house in a back pack wasn’t going to work. Welcome back to reality. Shelter water food, basic needs never change.
I like packing 4 rat traps .
A good Posting .. with plenty of common sense food for thought .. thanks.
At times, a controversial subject .. open to heated debate.
I support the 'Survival / SHTF' viewpoint that whatever the situation, "Your clothing is the most important survival tool you have. Dress properly and any emergency you may have to endure becomes more manageable." The Kit should, inter alia, contribute to:
1. Getting a good night's (day's) sleep (minimum 4 hrs sleep of which 2 hrs is REM) .. and waking up alive and functional thereafter. In Winter, if tired enough, you WILL sleep and perhaps freeze to death.
2. Staying Hydrated .. healthily so.
Also .. 'Bug Out Bags' .. don't forget the Wife and Immediate Family, their needs, capabilities and skillsets.
That said, herewith something to chew on:
History has shown that hand drawn carts have played a major role in 'bugging out' previously aka 'becoming refugees'. Something to consider. With modern lightweight but robust materials .. plenty options are available. Can transport more for less associated effort .. flexible too. Bicycles too. The VC transported plenty on the Ho Chi Minh Trail pushing heavily loaded bicycles.
I live in Switzerland and although I have a forest just 50m behind where I live and the Rhine River 100m in front of me, I tend towards being a 'Bugger-Inner' (no pun intended 😏).
In a real SHTF situation, motor vehicles are most probably going nowhere (the roads will be jammed up or closed down tighter than a ...) and the forests cannot shelter / support the entire population for diddly squat.
Any who are interested, perhaps take the time to watch an Old Timer You Tuber, 'logcabinlooms' .. his Posting on 4 Dec 2012 regarding 'Preppers'.
Some sobering realities therein .. well worth a watch.
Take care ..
I love ur videos guys, full of instresting TIPS, but ive a problem, a month ago I suffered a loss, and now my equipment is limited to a bugoutbag that I also use for excursions. it is difficult in Italy, without a job rebuild an emercengy system especially without my emergency food supplies, some of my tools, like saw, chainsaw, 2 sleeping bag (we r 3), 2 50liter backpack whit relative equipment we Need only basic stuffs, 2 sleepingbag 2 big backpack 2fulltang knife and one axe, the other stuffs are in our home like my fullbackpack, paramedic bag, self defence ecc.. they nave stole 2 full back packs few tools and a pallet of Seven seals and the other 3 emercengy food types. if someone can help us in any way we very grateful. I do not ask for money, only equipment that you no longer use, excesses in the stockpile of Emergency food like K ratione or mre. i need to folding saw too ... any way if someon want help im i can only be grateful.
For the trauma kit may I suggest tampons and trauma shears.
Trauma shears ok, no tampons.
@@paulradenberg5534 tampons are good for bullet wounds
@@femalebreastintercourse4738 Tampons are designed to stop bleeding. In a wound they do not promote clotting. The material is an incredible pain in the ass to remove from a wound, causing complications in treatment. Do your patient a favor and get packing gauze at the least.
check out Dave Canterbury on back pack frame made of PVC. I can modify what I want by putting different stuff on the frame- a little or a lot.
unless you are doing a gray man from city to bush, my ruck is semi permanent and what Dave Canterbury calls "tool heavy". I see your gear is short term, and only point A to B with some gear disproportionate for the purpose you proclaim your bag to be for. if you plan on long term nomad, I'd go for a ruck that's tool heavy duty- with that you would need a frame. if you went this far, why not go all the way? the most criticism of this video should be water or lack of it after three days. I could have the same purpose of your bag shrunk down into the size of a haversack or a military gas mask bag and a 10 X 10 tarp without a frame.
zombie apocalypse? come on? some people would think your crazy for what you showed. why divide like minded people with unnecessary comments?
Quit watching after six minutes and 22 seconds and you still hadn’t got to the point. Moving on
Great piece of kit, try saving the lint from your dryer....great tinder.
