Yes, but you can only carry it inside your home and/or garden if it is fenced off. Also you need a psycho test for pistols and semi shotguns. But concealed carry permit is almost impossible to get. So for outside your house you got to think about other solutions.
The only country in Europe that allows conceal carry permits for the general population is Czech Republic. Most countries in Europe though won’t even allow you to carry something as simple as a knife on you without a so called “lawful excuse”, which is of course defined on the moment by the random officer that checked you and then by the jury, with penalties in the thousands of euros and even 1-3 years imprisonment if you’re lucky, even if you were carrying something like a Swiss army knife and the officer/jury woke up on the wrong side of their bed. A lot of countries won’t even allow self defense tools like kubotans/tactical pens/pepper spray, let alone stuff like tazers or batons. Since us Europeans are so enlightened and progressive we make sure that only criminals and the government have weapons that they can use however they like, so the lower classes can peacefully live in anarchy, either being criminals or fearing to fall victim to criminals (and if they dare to try and defend themselves they will rightfully get punished and pay the offender their due in damages), while the upper classes can get away with doing whatever they like as they’ll always have the money and contacts to pay lawyers/corrupt judges and get out of trouble, all the while the politicians condemning self defense live in castles with teams of armed bodyguards and the governments hold all the power on the general population, as they own and command entire armies, can really get away with passing any laws they want, while at the same time making the average citizen feel like an enemy in his own country, gullible to any regulation/restriction imposed by the government on his personal freedom, unable to preserve his material and bodily integrity due to the lack of means to do so, and punished if he even tries to fight back against oppression/violation of his basic human rights and freedom, while being constantly made guilty and put in a position of debt and inadequacy by all the governments’ continuous policies that restrict his freedoms and rights, stealing his money and his time, and not paying him back in any way, all for a “higher cause”. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is democracy.

Have you Lilly tried to create your own "evacuation bag" ? For emergency situation, if you must leave your home for days or weeks and live in some emergency evacuation center or evacuation camp.
9:35 you mentioned the apple cider vinegar for acid reflux. I would love to know more about that, because I have the same issue. (I'm eating antacid tablets every day)
Lilly, I don't know the laws in Austria, but perhaps some kevlar in your backpack would be wise. In most USA states we can buy kevlar pads to block the hand pews. They are thin and light. Good video and good luck! ❤
Excellent Lilly, this is very similar to mine. You showed me some things I need to add. I wish you would have shown what was inside of your metal can, maybe next time. Thank you!
Great breakdown of the mini-bugout bag! One thing that many do not consider, is a proper faraday folio or bag. When you're packing your phones, tablets, radio for travel.. being sure to remove the batteries and antenna (if possible) and store them in a faraday bag. This provides both security and protection against EMP/solar flare destruction, and is critical if you need to rely on these devices in an emergency situation. I have several, varying in size and price, and they all work fantastic!
When protecting your electronics, it is important that the devices do not touch the aluminum foil used to wrap the items. First, wrap the devices in an insulator such as dry paper. Multiple, alternating layers will add additional protection. This is the same principle as lining your EMP can with cardboard to prevent the contents from contacting the metal "cage."
Additional self defense possibilites is to sew to a leather strap system for your water bottle with a strap to go over your shoulder. If you make it strong enough to can swing it like a medieval flail.
Well thought out urban kit. Liked some of your items I hadn't thought about. ie the Geiger counter and small radio. Good stuff. Thanks for your time on that one.
The kits are perfect ! I would also add some preserved food cans, some instant soup bags and some coffee, tea and sugar, just in case.. and of course - water.
This is awesome! I’ve been looking for a video covering the get home basics to keep in my smaller edc motorcycle backpack. I just ordered the wisport 20 very excited to fill it.😁 I won’t need extended get home supplies in that bag. I’m building a small trauma kit including emergency response items for others. The pulse Oximeter is such a good idea!(I’ve witnessed a few moto accidents so an emergency blanket is good to prevent hypothermia from blood loss. Also my neighbor broke his arm falling on the ice and there were only emergency vehicles running that day, no ambulances available due to a bad snow storm. You truly never know what’s going to happen!) I love your idea of a 2 level system. Definitely going to implement that. Thanks for the video 👍
I’m definitely adding a pulse oximeter to my first aid kit. Thanks! I find the Leatherman Skeletool at 142 grams has pliers, cutters, a good blade, 4 screwdriver bits; all the features really needed, and the add-on ratcheting bit driver gives it the ability to do so many other things. You can even modify saw blades to fit in the bit holder. I also carry the Solitaire flashlight that you show. I really like it. I’m not liking the LED lights anymore. Too bright, and others can see me too much. My headlamp is always on red anyway.
Hi, here in Slovakia and also in Czech republic there is no issues getting concealed carry licenses for anybody. You have to pass medical, psych evaluation and then actual tests and examination by police and prosecutor. Once you have done this you are free to carry pistol with up to 20 rnds magazine. I was told that in Poland you are automatically allowed to carry pistol concealed if you are a sports shooter. I think also Slovenia has similar laws to SK/CZ. Not sure about other countries thou.
Always fine tuning my kits, thank you for reminding me of things I hadn't thought of (like the pulse oxi meter). Would love to get those see thru bags you showed, perfect size for organizing! I have 2 good lightweight radio flashlight that has a solar, usb power station ability that also manually charges by hand with nice antennas easy to carry in backpacks.Thanks again for the work of sharing your skills and experience, the water bottle video was just an example of all the effort you go to to help others. Bravo!
This is a great example Lilly. Thank you for sharing. Pretty soon we will all be down to defending ourselves with selfie sticks...lol. Hopefully you will never have to use it. Cheers from Alberta!
Daz from Australia, I didn’t take you serious, when you used a cold steel SRK, using a few different knives I now have the SRK ON ME, Australian wood is very hard , unlike European Timbers and the SRK batons without issues, and it’s one of the cheapest knives to buy so my respect to you and the knife thank you
If you have a small backpack, you can have a sharpened spade in it. If you are attacked, you can split someone's skull even if they are wearing a bicycle helmet, or you can move to a nicer residential area.
When I was 27, I am now 55, me and a friend spent 3 months in the himalayas walking to everest. I took everything with me for a serious walk. I had no gadgets, it was the mid nineties, just a proper knife, radio, lifestraw, iodine, lots of medical stuff, painkillers, electrolytes, lots of vitamins, torch, eating spork combo, good sleeping bag, as mountain lodges were dirty, maps, a large stick as there were wolves in the mountains, though I never saw them just heard them howl at night which was scary enough, and lots of common sense, you need that above everything! Obviously clothes and cleaning, sterilisation but always at a minimum. The medical kit actually saved my life because later on at the end of my trek I got cholera, the syringes , needles and lines for a drip were a lifesaver, literally...just a thought, a long walk home requires the right boots, trainers are no good, have a pair of used walking boots in the car, plus socks and military gloves, hands get dirty on a long march
I really love the advice about the selfie stick. I live in the US. Only a couple of states allow concealed carry, and you need permits. I am in the most restrictive part of the US, the northeastern states. We can't even carry a pocket knife with a blade longer than 3 inches. A selfie stick is a great idea! Every time you speak of having to get home, my mind goes to when the Twin Towers in NY came down. Everyone had to walk many miles, over the the bridges, to get away from the fires, smoke, and cement dust. So many have died from lung cancer since then, both first responders and civilians. One of my cousins was a first responder there, and he suffered for years until he passed away. Nearly 500 people from my county and the county next to us were lost. I think of myself if I had been a survivor who had to walk home, how much difference it would make if I had a get-home bag. If they all had carried get home bags, particularly gas masks with several spare filters. You do a great service showing what to put in a get home bag. I would add aspirin and Tylenol, and two days worth of prescription medication. If the 3M mask you show is used, perhaps a pair of goggles would help. Thick smoke and carcinogenic dust must be kept out of the eyes. May I suggest that you advise women who wear heels that they should carry a quality pair of sneakers and a pair of thick socks. Perhaps also a pair of pants or even just leggings if they normally wear dresses or skirts. Feminine hygiene products also. Thank you, Lilly, for this video, and all the others you do. Never stop reminding us that our well-being is not guaranteed, and that there are steps we can take to give ourselves the best chance of survival.
Only a couple do states DON’T allow concealed carry my friend … you probably need to do a little more research … I am ccw licensed and I can travel to most states with the USA with zero issues … getting licensed in one additional state would allow me to carry in almost every state minus just a couple … Many states make it very difficult but most states to have concealed carry licenses… look up “concealed carry reciprocity laws”
@@zombiemom5088 Thank you for your input. I stand by what I said. Getting permitted to carry here (different from owning or transporting) requires a very solid reason, usually having to do with employment, and it's still tough. Restrictions are tight. It's nowhere near as easy as out west. Reciprocity is a different matter, coming in from a different region. I don't need to look it up, thank you very much, as I'm already familiar. I'm sorry you assumed ignorance in my case. And of course I was talking about demonstration of need in order to be permitted, not collectable bragging rights. But congrats on yours.
Just one thing. Using the pulse oximeter to check a pulse is a great idea. But you could get a false read or its damaged. Make sure if you are trained to fall back on your CPR training, so.manually check the pulse in the correct locations and then proceed to do CPR if needed. Remember time is of the essence.
Selfie Stick is good for you younger people. As you get older, you can transition to trekking poles. And once you get old enough, a cane. A cane with a big brass head is a formidible weapon. Fortunately, where I live, we have permitless carry, and our "stand your ground" and "castle doctrine" are still valid outside of the home. (in your car and on the street.) Situational awareness is an important part of it though.
Lilly you could always get one of those flashlight/tazers ..those work great and are pretty much legal everywhere ..i used to rock one of those untill the battery died down and couldnt support the tazer only the flashlight ..they work great even if you are being attacked by mad dogs as soon as they hear the crackling sound of the tazer they just skiddadle you dont even have to connect ..works great on two legged mad dogs too 😂 the heavier they are the harder the fall you just got to know where to connect it ...the neck shocks both the brain and the heart specially if you connect with the aorta ...chest or center chest shocks the heart and the respiratory system...and lets not forget the "happy sacks" 😂 thats when they drop like a bag of potatoes while singing in soprano 😂 ..take care Lilly 😎
Great video!!! I would add eye protection, bolt cutters, and a sillcock key to your get home bag too. Also taking boxing and karate classes will help if you have nothing else to protect yourself with.
Kudos for the calculator! Totally underestimated survival object 😁 I carry one myself for work reasons but in a get home scenario I would take it with me. Unlike a mobile phone they are nearly indestructable and almost never run out of juice.
This is a well thought out kit. I really appreciate your point on knowing how to use a knife effectively for self defense, I say this mostly as a martial artist but also as someone who has been in many hairy situations. That said, carry the most effective tool you can, know the legal ramifications of potentially using it and get effective training.
Double head clap with hands in a cup shape was the advice given to me. If you are stuck and the attacker has anger, become small, appear afraid and quiet before screaming at the top of your volume to knock the built up anger out of the attacker for a moment then take your opportunity. Clap clap. Stay Safe x
Hi Lilly. That flashlight is also tactical. Shine the light in attacker's eyes, kick him in the knees and run away. With sore knees he won't be able to run fast and you will get away.
I know you believe in being a good person but , growing up in Chicago I was told as a young boy , " IT'S BETTER TO BE JUDGED BY12 THAN TO HAVE YOUR FAMILY SEE YOU CARRIED BY 6" . When I got married , my wife made me promise to always come home alive because I worked dangerous job's or in dangerous places . My advice , carry what ever gets you home everyday , legal or not . Or , they did make a movie called "COMING TO AMERICA " ,just saying . 😁😁😁
Another thing my kind of goes along with the GPS idea, download topographic maps of your area and areas you may need to navigate in a pinch or government decides to take people in interment camps or whatever they call those camps there. Have those maps you can read already downloaded on your phone. Good topo maps can be very useful along with regular maps of areas in satellite view which is what I like. But obviously whatever you prefer.
My PSK which I EDC when I go more than a few kilometres from home is just a “stuck outside overnight” kit which can double as a get home bag in the city, I call it the “OLOK PSK” (One Litre One Kilo) so I have an emergency poncho, a mylar blanket, a fixed blade knife, some first aid items, several ways to start a fire and a small pry tool (CRKT viva pocket tool) and a cotton bandana and a pair of gloves. Anything much heavier would be too inconvenient to EDC since I travel on foot or by bicycle most of the time.
I have started storing my flashlights in a small EMP proof bag. Think I will purchase another just for the trunk of my car. At a minimum it makes me feel better!
Den Dolch würde ich zuhause lassen, das zieht nur Probleme an, besser ein Sackmesser oder so… denn das braucht man ja um Äpfel zu schneiden 😉. Die Idee mit dem Selfie stick finde ich gut 👍 Danke fürs teilen
Adding something to the selfie stick: make sure you actually use it as a selfie stick. If it comes up in court that you ended up bludgeoning someone with it and there's no record of you using it for its intended purpose, people might start asking questions. A stick is also a lot easier for an assailant to grab than a knife, so make sure you know how to fight with a stick too.
Deodorant spray is another good option for self defence in close quarters where you can spray it into the eyes and get out of there. With knives it depends what country you live in. In South Africa knife attacks are very common. I was attacked and received a collapsed lung while defending myself against 6 assailants and had to walk 5 km to hospital due to my cousin going into shock because of seeing the blood and crashed the car. So I would say knowing how to fight hand to hand and with weapons against many attack vectors is important. Very Nice pack setup 👍 and great device for checking your vitals. Those folding scissors are nice to👌.
I’ve given the coupe de grace to a bunch of animals with a knife while hunting. One thing I’ve learned from that is that I really, really never want to get in a knife fight. I’ll take the whacky stick any day. Personally I have a heavy metal water bottle that is vaguely club shaped. It’s always on me, and it would deliver a heavy enough blow to convince someone to try it on with someone else.
That's exactly how many police forces around Europe would see it if the person was ever stopped and searched. Instant free ride in the van or car with flashing lights, then a long spell being interviewed or sat in a holding cell.
Just to make it clear, by "in Europe it's not an option" for conseal carry, you mean in Austria only, because Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and other contries has no issue with conseal carry at all and espetially in Czech Republic it's very easy.
At the open of the video, I thought the selfie stick was intended for use as an ersatz periscope when used with a phone. But even if that wasn't the intention, it could be used that way to look around corners, over walls, and the like for scouting in a dangerous environment. Just a thought. The shortwave is a good idea for getting info from far away. A long length of light gauge wire with an alligator clip soldered on is good for increasing reception. The alligator clip can just be clipped onto the radios antenna and the wire extended. For listening on radio and not taking up too much space and weight, it would be hard to beat a small linux or windows tablet or laptop with an rtl-sdr dongle and some simple antenna setup like a wire dipole. Using the software sdr++, you can pick up all kinds of radio signals from amateur to shortwave to commercial radio to local emergency service to even marine and aircraft radio. If a person is already carrying a laptop or tablet on a daily basis for work or school or whatever, the dongle and antenna would add minimal bulk and weight. Downside is that this set up would be receive only.
In Texas the legal system has the ability to classify anything you use as a weapon or a deadly weapon, even if it’s not designed as a weapon. The key is knowing your self defense rights and what level of harm you can inflict to defend yourself. Make sure your not going past the fine line of self defense with a stick, to assault with a weapon, or worse charges. It’s not the random item that makes the fight legal it’s making sure you don’t go past defense and into murder because you continued to beat someone after they stopped attacking you. Vs a kill shot /or blow that stops the violence suddenly while you are being attacked.
I was given a keychain type mini Mag lite as a gift...it uses the common AAA battery, and is impressively bright. In the US, a Swiss Army knife, or multitool wont attract much, if any, attention, even in the few cities where having a knife on you is technically illegal ( like Philadelphia). If I had my keys on it, and wasn't doing anything stupid with it, even if a cop saw me with it, it's unlikely I would get in trouble over it. The Swiss Army knife is sort of universally recognized as a tool, and not a weapon, at least here in the US. The old " MacGyver" show made it popular.
I didn’t notice any type of water purification in your 2nd level kit. A Life-Straw or Sawyer Mini would work great in it. It is a very nice kit though.
If you are male and fit you "can" carry just over your own body weight. You will only manage about 2.5kmh for sustained travel and 8kmh for about 1 minute. If you want to average nearer 8kmh then 10% of your body weight if you are fit is a maximum and you should be aiming for 5%. The most I have carried is 125kg and that takes it out of you big time. My get home bag has 1 liter of water some food (grain bars) and a few other bits and pieces and weighs a total of 3.5kg. My extended kit has a tarp some bank line and 2 liters of water plus some proper dehydrated meals. The thing that really surprises me is how little water is available in a town or city. If you do find a river or similar then it is safest to count it as polluted IE filter then boil will still not make it safe. That lot combined still comes to under 10kg with the sundries like fire starting kit and two knifes.
Be careful with leaving a power bank in your car. The cold weather will drain them but the hot weather could cause them to explode. Just don't leave them in the car. Put them in when you travel long distances. Another option to charge cell phones is a hand crank charger. No, not the best way to charge but in a SHTF situation it's better than nothing. Great gear bags btw.
I am not Austrian but the way how I understand the law in Europe there is not much difference between hurting anyone with any "dangerous tool". Sure, it's easier to construct line of legal defense over selfie stick than a prybar but you'd be surprised how little the type of item means compared to the circumstances and damage done.
The top end smart watches are pretty accurate for oxygen and pulse... not as good as hospital buy possibly as good as the one you have. Plus gives you all the benfits of a smart watch... i like the ones with gps.
Another idea for non lethal protection with a knife, is to have a Victorinox with a reamer and or a Philips screw driver on the back. Open up the Philips, hold the knife in a fist grip with the driver protruding between your fingers for striking blows. If your going to use the awl/reamer, you need to dull the reamer edge so it won’t cut you while striking with it. Using either method will add much more pain to an attacker than just fist blows and Victorinox knives shouldn’t raise much suspicion if they find you with it
@@nzer57 who said anything about carrying it in the pack? What I suggested isn’t a perfect solution, but rely’s on situational awareness, luck, and Pryor planning. If I’m walking to my vehicle at night when in public, I’ve got mine in my weak hand, so I can draw a firearm with my right. It is just a possible option to consider in areas where firearms, or a knife is not a viable option. I was taught that there are only 3 places for a knife, in your pocket, in a sheath, or in your hand. Never considered carrying one in a pack
the torch is a better weapon than the selfie stick ... that is what the sharp ring on the front is for, you stab the attacker in the face with it or jam it somewhere soft (like a kubotan)
I'm curious Lilly ,are you allowed to own a hand gun for target shooting and home defense in Austria?
Yes, but you can only carry it inside your home and/or garden if it is fenced off. Also you need a psycho test for pistols and semi shotguns.
But concealed carry permit is almost impossible to get. So for outside your house you got to think about other solutions.

Daz from Australia, I didn’t take you serious, when you used a cold steel SRK, using a few different knives I now have the SRK ON ME, Australian wood is very hard , unlike European Timbers and the SRK batons without issues, and it’s one of the cheapest knives to buy so my respect to you and the knife thank you
Survivng is my life style, in the city, on the lakes, in the forest and so on. Austria is nice country, Finland as well.
Great ideas for EDC and much more! Thank you!!!❤❤❤
If you have a small backpack, you can have a sharpened spade in it. If you are attacked, you can split someone's skull even if they are wearing a bicycle helmet, or you can move to a nicer residential area.
Another great resource for all of us! Thank you Lilly,
When I was 27, I am now 55, me and a friend spent 3 months in the himalayas walking to everest. I took everything with me for a serious walk. I had no gadgets, it was the mid nineties, just a proper knife, radio, lifestraw, iodine, lots of medical stuff, painkillers, electrolytes, lots of vitamins, torch, eating spork combo, good sleeping bag, as mountain lodges were dirty, maps, a large stick as there were wolves in the mountains, though I never saw them just heard them howl at night which was scary enough, and lots of common sense, you need that above everything! Obviously clothes and cleaning, sterilisation but always at a minimum. The medical kit actually saved my life because later on at the end of my trek I got cholera, the syringes , needles and lines for a drip were a lifesaver, literally...just a thought, a long walk home requires the right boots, trainers are no good, have a pair of used walking boots in the car, plus socks and military gloves, hands get dirty on a long march
I really love the advice about the selfie stick. I live in the US. Only a couple of states allow concealed carry, and you need permits. I am in the most restrictive part of the US, the northeastern states. We can't even carry a pocket knife with a blade longer than 3 inches. A selfie stick is a great idea!
Every time you speak of having to get home, my mind goes to when the Twin Towers in NY came down. Everyone had to walk many miles, over the the bridges, to get away from the fires, smoke, and cement dust. So many have died from lung cancer since then, both first responders and civilians. One of my cousins was a first responder there, and he suffered for years until he passed away. Nearly 500 people from my county and the county next to us were lost. I think of myself if I had been a survivor who had to walk home, how much difference it would make if I had a get-home bag. If they all had carried get home bags, particularly gas masks with several spare filters. You do a great service showing what to put in a get home bag.
I would add aspirin and Tylenol, and two days worth of prescription medication. If the 3M mask you show is used, perhaps a pair of goggles would help. Thick smoke and carcinogenic dust must be kept out of the eyes.
May I suggest that you advise women who wear heels that they should carry a quality pair of sneakers and a pair of thick socks. Perhaps also a pair of pants or even just leggings if they normally wear dresses or skirts. Feminine hygiene products also.
Thank you, Lilly, for this video, and all the others you do. Never stop reminding us that our well-being is not guaranteed, and that there are steps we can take to give ourselves the best chance of survival.
Only a couple do states DON’T allow concealed carry my friend … you probably need to do a little more research … I am ccw licensed and I can travel to most states with the USA with zero issues … getting licensed in one additional state would allow me to carry in almost every state minus just a couple …
Many states make it very difficult but most states to have concealed carry licenses… look up “concealed carry reciprocity laws”
@@zombiemom5088 Thank you for your input. I stand by what I said. Getting permitted to carry here (different from owning or transporting) requires a very solid reason, usually having to do with employment, and it's still tough. Restrictions are tight. It's nowhere near as easy as out west. Reciprocity is a different matter, coming in from a different region. I don't need to look it up, thank you very much, as I'm already familiar. I'm sorry you assumed ignorance in my case. And of course I was talking about demonstration of need in order to be permitted, not collectable bragging rights. But congrats on yours.
@@kele1264 you don’t have to be out west to get a license … I’m east coast … no issues at all
Very good presentation ... I like the idea using your "selfie stick" for possible defence situations.
Just one thing. Using the pulse oximeter to check a pulse is a great idea. But you could get a false read or its damaged. Make sure if you are trained to fall back on your CPR training, so.manually check the pulse in the correct locations and then proceed to do CPR if needed. Remember time is of the essence.
Selfie Stick is good for you younger people. As you get older, you can transition to trekking poles. And once you get old enough, a cane. A cane with a big brass head is a formidible weapon. Fortunately, where I live, we have permitless carry, and our "stand your ground" and "castle doctrine" are still valid outside of the home. (in your car and on the street.) Situational awareness is an important part of it though.
I have 2 of those black scout survival thru night flashlights...they are amazing!
Lilly you could always get one of those flashlight/tazers ..those work great and are pretty much legal everywhere ..i used to rock one of those untill the battery died down and couldnt support the tazer only the flashlight ..they work great even if you are being attacked by mad dogs as soon as they hear the crackling sound of the tazer they just skiddadle you dont even have to connect ..works great on two legged mad dogs too 😂 the heavier they are the harder the fall you just got to know where to connect it ...the neck shocks both the brain and the heart specially if you connect with the aorta ...chest or center chest shocks the heart and the respiratory system...and lets not forget the "happy sacks" 😂 thats when they drop like a bag of potatoes while singing in soprano 😂 ..take care Lilly 😎
Great video!!! I would add eye protection, bolt cutters, and a sillcock key to your get home bag too. Also taking boxing and karate classes will help if you have nothing else to protect yourself with.
Kudos for the calculator! Totally underestimated survival object 😁 I carry one myself for work reasons but in a get home scenario I would take it with me. Unlike a mobile phone they are nearly indestructable and almost never run out of juice.
This is a well thought out kit. I really appreciate your point on knowing how to use a knife effectively for self defense, I say this mostly as a martial artist but also as someone who has been in many hairy situations. That said, carry the most effective tool you can, know the legal ramifications of potentially using it and get effective training.
Double head clap with hands in a cup shape was the advice given to me.
If you are stuck and the attacker has anger, become small, appear afraid and quiet before screaming at the top of your volume to knock the built up anger out of the attacker for a moment then take your opportunity.
Clap clap.
Stay Safe x
Great idea with the selfie stick.
Hi Lilly. That flashlight is also tactical. Shine the light in attacker's eyes, kick him in the knees and run away. With sore knees he won't be able to run fast and you will get away.
What a brilliant idea for a sd tool for a new or established TH-camr.
I know you believe in being a good person but , growing up in Chicago I was told as a young boy , " IT'S BETTER TO BE JUDGED BY12 THAN TO HAVE YOUR FAMILY SEE YOU CARRIED BY 6" . When I got married , my wife made me promise to always come home alive because I worked dangerous job's or in dangerous places . My advice , carry what ever gets you home everyday , legal or not . Or , they did make a movie called "COMING TO AMERICA " ,just saying . 😁😁😁
I would love to see another bug out camp video!!
Another thing my kind of goes along with the GPS idea, download topographic maps of your area and areas you may need to navigate in a pinch or government decides to take people in interment camps or whatever they call those camps there. Have those maps you can read already downloaded on your phone. Good topo maps can be very useful along with regular maps of areas in satellite view which is what I like. But obviously whatever you prefer.
!!! Lily, you need to wrap paper around that radio and Geiger counter... Insulation. Then wrap with metal.
😙
That dagger is impressive. Who manufactures it. Video has interesting items and gives a person some good ideas.
I would like to know more about the dagger too
Thx Lilly, very informative and well presented content ❤
Thank you for all that you do for us. This was very informative. 😊
My PSK which I EDC when I go more than a few kilometres from home is just a “stuck outside overnight” kit which can double as a get home bag in the city, I call it the “OLOK PSK” (One Litre One Kilo) so I have an emergency poncho, a mylar blanket, a fixed blade knife, some first aid items, several ways to start a fire and a small pry tool (CRKT viva pocket tool) and a cotton bandana and a pair of gloves.
Anything much heavier would be too inconvenient to EDC since I travel on foot or by bicycle most of the time.
I have started storing my flashlights in a small EMP proof bag. Think I will purchase another just for the trunk of my car. At a minimum it makes me feel better!
Den Dolch würde ich zuhause lassen, das zieht nur Probleme an, besser ein Sackmesser oder so… denn das braucht man ja um Äpfel zu schneiden 😉.
Die Idee mit dem Selfie stick finde ich gut 👍
Danke fürs teilen
Adding something to the selfie stick: make sure you actually use it as a selfie stick. If it comes up in court that you ended up bludgeoning someone with it and there's no record of you using it for its intended purpose, people might start asking questions. A stick is also a lot easier for an assailant to grab than a knife, so make sure you know how to fight with a stick too.
Thanks for the video, Lilly. I'm going shopping for the items today 😁 hope you're OK 👍
That's awesome!
Deodorant spray is another good option for self defence in close quarters where you can spray it into the eyes and get out of there. With knives it depends what country you live in. In South Africa knife attacks are very common. I was attacked and received a collapsed lung while defending myself against 6 assailants and had to walk 5 km to hospital due to my cousin going into shock because of seeing the blood and crashed the car. So I would say knowing how to fight hand to hand and with weapons against many attack vectors is important. Very Nice pack setup 👍 and great device for checking your vitals. Those folding scissors are nice to👌.
Regarding self defense, in a pinch a glass soda bottle could be effective - full or empty, intact or broken, still functional.
I use high powered flash lights for defence , I’m a coach driver, brands like olight, imalent and Klarus are my favourites, just an idea
Thank you Lilly.
Lots of practical ideas👩🌾
Absolutely love your channel Lilly. But it seems to be more about prepping. I get it. But love the wilderness stuff.
Sehr gute Zusammenstellung!
I’ve given the coupe de grace to a bunch of animals with a knife while hunting. One thing I’ve learned from that is that I really, really never want to get in a knife fight. I’ll take the whacky stick any day. Personally I have a heavy metal water bottle that is vaguely club shaped. It’s always on me, and it would deliver a heavy enough blow to convince someone to try it on with someone else.
Super Awesome video Lilly, this was great. Found a lot of items that I didn't know about. My Amazon wish list has grown :) Stay Safe out there :)
The selfie stick was a great option Lilly. A screwdriver could be a weapon too.
Second most weapon used in stabbings after a kitchen knife in my country.
Screwdriver on your person classed as going prepared (to commit a crime)
Literally, tooled up, lol.
A Telescopic walking pole may be useful, for self defence or a sprained ankle
A crowbar? A lock-pick? A head-torch?
This is more like Survival Lilly's burglary kit than a survival kit. 😉
That's exactly how many police forces around Europe would see it if the person was ever stopped and searched.
Instant free ride in the van or car with flashing lights, then a long spell being interviewed or sat in a holding cell.
@@RawTopShot Yeah, I don't claiming "it's for the end of the world" will fly when being interviewed, possibly under caution, by the rozzers.
Thanks Lily
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY USA my friend
Bear spray would come in handy.
Try the Knipex cobra xs 4" plier instead of the Leatherman rebar. The blade and screwdrivers you can get with a much lighter Victorinox.
Just to make it clear, by "in Europe it's not an option" for conseal carry, you mean in Austria only, because Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and other contries has no issue with conseal carry at all and espetially in Czech Republic it's very easy.
Ok thanks for the info
At the open of the video, I thought the selfie stick was intended for use as an ersatz periscope when used with a phone. But even if that wasn't the intention, it could be used that way to look around corners, over walls, and the like for scouting in a dangerous environment. Just a thought.
The shortwave is a good idea for getting info from far away. A long length of light gauge wire with an alligator clip soldered on is good for increasing reception. The alligator clip can just be clipped onto the radios antenna and the wire extended.
For listening on radio and not taking up too much space and weight, it would be hard to beat a small linux or windows tablet or laptop with an rtl-sdr dongle and some simple antenna setup like a wire dipole. Using the software sdr++, you can pick up all kinds of radio signals from amateur to shortwave to commercial radio to local emergency service to even marine and aircraft radio. If a person is already carrying a laptop or tablet on a daily basis for work or school or whatever, the dongle and antenna would add minimal bulk and weight. Downside is that this set up would be receive only.
Absolutely awesome idea with the periscope. I did that back when I was a kid and it was so much fun
In Texas the legal system has the ability to classify anything you use as a weapon or a deadly weapon, even if it’s not designed as a weapon. The key is knowing your self defense rights and what level of harm you can inflict to defend yourself. Make sure your not going past the fine line of self defense with a stick, to assault with a weapon, or worse charges. It’s not the random item that makes the fight legal it’s making sure you don’t go past defense and into murder because you continued to beat someone after they stopped attacking you.
Vs a kill shot /or blow that stops the violence suddenly while you are being attacked.
I was given a keychain type mini Mag lite as a gift...it uses the common AAA battery, and is impressively bright.
In the US, a Swiss Army knife, or multitool wont attract much, if any, attention, even in the few cities where having a knife on you is technically illegal ( like Philadelphia). If I had my keys on it, and wasn't doing anything stupid with it, even if a cop saw me with it, it's unlikely I would get in trouble over it.
The Swiss Army knife is sort of universally recognized as a tool, and not a weapon, at least here in the US.
The old " MacGyver" show made it popular.
I didn’t notice any type of water purification in your 2nd level kit. A Life-Straw or Sawyer Mini would work great in it. It is a very nice kit though.
Might consider swapping the selfie stick for a 3 D cell Maglight flashlight. Aluminum, good weight, and has a function you'll need anyway.
If you are male and fit you "can" carry just over your own body weight. You will only manage about 2.5kmh for sustained travel and 8kmh for about 1 minute. If you want to average nearer 8kmh then 10% of your body weight if you are fit is a maximum and you should be aiming for 5%. The most I have carried is 125kg and that takes it out of you big time. My get home bag has 1 liter of water some food (grain bars) and a few other bits and pieces and weighs a total of 3.5kg. My extended kit has a tarp some bank line and 2 liters of water plus some proper dehydrated meals. The thing that really surprises me is how little water is available in a town or city. If you do find a river or similar then it is safest to count it as polluted IE filter then boil will still not make it safe. That lot combined still comes to under 10kg with the sundries like fire starting kit and two knifes.
That's a very nice looking knife.!
Thanks Lilly!
Wow my favorite girl that’s an awesome 20 mile kit 😘👍
Be careful with leaving a power bank in your car. The cold weather will drain them but the hot weather could cause them to explode. Just don't leave them in the car. Put them in when you travel long distances. Another option to charge cell phones is a hand crank charger. No, not the best way to charge but in a SHTF situation it's better than nothing. Great gear bags btw.
I am not Austrian but the way how I understand the law in Europe there is not much difference between hurting anyone with any "dangerous tool". Sure, it's easier to construct line of legal defense over selfie stick than a prybar but you'd be surprised how little the type of item means compared to the circumstances and damage done.
The selfie stick would be legally treated or described in weapon terms as a telescoping steel baton.
( illegal in the UK 🇬🇧 )
The top end smart watches are pretty accurate for oxygen and pulse... not as good as hospital buy possibly as good as the one you have. Plus gives you all the benfits of a smart watch... i like the ones with gps.
Perfect 🏆!!! Thank you 🙏🤍
Nicely done. Great ideas.
Another idea for non lethal protection with a knife, is to have a Victorinox with a reamer and or a Philips screw driver on the back.
Open up the Philips, hold the knife in a fist grip with the driver protruding between your fingers for striking blows.
If your going to use the awl/reamer, you need to dull the reamer edge so it won’t cut you while striking with it.
Using either method will add much more pain to an attacker than just fist blows and Victorinox knives shouldn’t raise much suspicion if they find you with it
@@nzer57 who said anything about carrying it in the pack?
What I suggested isn’t a perfect solution, but rely’s on situational awareness, luck, and Pryor planning.
If I’m walking to my vehicle at night when in public, I’ve got mine in my weak hand, so I can draw a firearm with my right.
It is just a possible option to consider in areas where firearms, or a knife is not a viable option.
I was taught that there are only 3 places for a knife, in your pocket, in a sheath, or in your hand. Never considered carrying one in a pack
Nice kit.
Lilly, what was that squat and boxy little radio you showed? Not the Baofengs, the one before that which you said was AM+FM+SW?
I have an urban environments GHB for road trips. I'm going to update it with items from this video.
the torch is a better weapon than the selfie stick ... that is what the sharp ring on the front is for, you stab the attacker in the face with it or jam it somewhere soft (like a kubotan)
Hey, I love those packing cubes. Where did you pick them up and what company makes them?
