Really appreciate the lack of sponsors or affiliates. You’re doing the Lord’s work.
Morale is important. You can't go crazy on comfort but selectively picking a few items can make a big difference.
I really like this guy , he speaks from the heart and that is a rare quality in the modern day. Much respect. Nuff said.
I just found him and think he’s great. Down to earth, just straight forward tips to help us be prepared. Great stuff!
Also a Navy Seal
And he not a civilian that actually brings experience not someone who reads a book
Yea he comes across solid not with some attention seeking mechanism
yeah, but he talks funny
At 85 I can't do that shit anymore, but I do have a bug-out bag and other gear (and ordnance) ready to go. Thinking about the Ohio train wreck and the fires in Maui. Stuff could happen anyplace. I'm in WV and I hike in the mountains with my 2 Heelers. No camping out or trekking though. May do 5-miles on a cool day. Keeps me active. I've always loved gear and collected a bunch. But I've never been able to keep up with technology and cost. What I have will have to serve. Good information here. Wish I was younger so I could jump in!
I'm 92 and this has inspired me to hit my max bench of 324lbs and throw an Elcan Specter on my semi auto 300 win mag.
Class of 92?
@@Hellbender21class of '50?
I’m so confused lol
Underwear, socks, and foot care. Your foot is the first part of your body that will give you trouble. As a surgeon, I would suggest more medical first aid material, especially for injuries and fractures. Thanks for the great content!
All your possible medicines and absolutely first aid- buy “ichthymol”.
I would add pantyhose, extra pair of wool socks, mole skin, and goldbond. Walking with blisters/rash is disheartening.
Do you have a link for fixing footstressfractures in the feeld & how to DIY Recover from it, especially when having no access to a medical centrum
@@guillaumekeulen219 I am a surgeon myself. I would suggest compression bandage to reduce swelling and also you can take a piece of wood cut it into a block form and attach it to your injured foot/boot as a makeshift boot till you get to a proper hospital. Create a cushion with leaves or moss, and whatever else you find as a cushion. You would need also to make yourself a crutch. If you are in a dangerous area, keep one hand free for your protection tool, take regular rest, and hydrate. The idea is to stabilize and relieve. Hope it helps.
@@SapereAude9 i imagine a good stick/ staff/ strong winter trekkingpole as walking aid!
Sounds stupid; a trekkingpole is a walking aid
How awesome would it be to have this man for your neighbor. 🇺🇸💪🏻🙏🏻
truth
Lol! Man needs his privacy. You'd be pretty far off neighbor! Worth the trek though! He has my respect!
You can also be that neighbor.
A skilled dude with practical advice and no fluffery.
No fluffers in SHTF! XD
It sounds silly, but I would throw in a couple glow sticks and a small Kindle.
The Kindle weighs almost nothing, the battery lasts for freaking ever, uhand you can keep a ridiculous amount of information on it.
All of the books you could ever want to read for pleasure, plus every book you could need on medicine, biology, identifying edible food by region, maps, tutorials on anything you could imagine, wilderness cookbooks...just anything you could imagine might be useful.
Good idea that for long term.
I agree, I have 2 pocket sized books. One for first aid and one for edible plants, if nothing else they will entertain me. Also a small crank radio for a pick me up.
And you can charge it with a lemon. Look it up
That makes sense, his is 1st time I've seen it suggested and I've seen tons of videos.
Dude, thats a GREAT idea.
For me a pack towel (which doubles as my pillow), wash cloth and bar of soap does wonders for my morale. Just got back from a 10 day in the Rockies, same always helped during FTXs and deployments. Not only is hygiene good for morale but also safety. We don’t deal with it here much but people all over the world are killed from unsanitary conditions. This goes right along the same lines of long sleeve shirts, pants, wide brim hats, gloves, and bug dope. I skip the dope and just opt to be covered by clothes. Bug bites also kill a lot of people. So do minor scrapes and cuts. And sun exposure can be detrimental to morale and energy, inhibiting one’s ability to move quickly.
But love the vid man. I’ll have to look up those packs, not too familiar with em but love the dry pack roll down design. I use 2 x 50L packs when in the mountains on mules/horses, always wanted one that I could carry comfortably, mine are just el cheapo Amazon specials.
i pack ivory cause it floats!
@@michaelraines93 it’s not bad for earth either
@@michaelraines93 I use Dawn for years it floats . If it good enough for the ducks it's good enough for me
Yep soap and Mozzie head net is a must.
East Tennessee here! I love these videos! I was born and raised in the country. We have a cabin on the river that's been in the family for years! If something were to happen, we're heading there. God bless everyone!
In warmer weather, I like a poncho rather that a Gortex rain jacket and pants. I might add a Leatherman tool, extra socks, and a bunch of $20 bills in case I need to purchase some assistance. This reminds me of things we learned in the Boy Scouts.
Many have scoffed at me for years over the thought of having an emergency bag prepared for home, travel or just for a rainy day. Many more scoff at the idea of getting out of and away from dense population centers. We shall see…
Let them scoff brother....I've been building mine for a little while now. The same people that think we're crazy will be the same people trying to buddy up and use our supplies
I had my ready for five years already conspiracy is only a coincidenceI, ain’t got no choice I’m not gonna buy a bag where I got one there that’s better than just about anything I can find out there I know the Grayman tacticsScrew it
The ones that scoff at you are complacent. We all know complacency kills
Well in 2012 you were paranoid, but in 2022 you are simply realistic.
Let them scoff they will be the ones crying out loud with no water, fire, shelter etc
Good idea with the smaller bags/pods. I would recommend moleskin for blisters and at least 2 pair of wool socks. Also maybe powdered energy drink mix to replace electrolytes.
This video was great! I truly thank you. I am a retired professional firefighter and have had so much training in my 30 years that much of it overlaps other scenarios. I live in New Jersey where planning is difficult due laws limiting the way one could protect themselves in an all out SHTF crisis. Many of my friends call me a conspiracy theorist because I have built a bag that definitely needs updating, stocked up on supplies and water too. I guess my prior career has taught me to always prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Everyone has stories, but 3 days before Hurricane Sandy ravaged New Jersey, i purchased a Honda generator and made the connections to connect it to my home panel. I purchased about 100 gallons of fuel and stored it. I purchased so much food and supplies to make life comfortable during what i knew would be some boring days ahead with all utilities down after the storm. granted, this is three days before it hit. My wife and kids were questioning me and my neighbors thought I was nuts. We lost power for 17 days and there were no gas stations open for fuel. My house was the only one lit up with heat, and all the modern amenities working. My neighbors came over and asked how I knew and I said I didn't know, I just prepped for the worst. Its the way my mind works i guess. Funny thing, you know what many of my neighbors were concerned about when they asked for help? Charging their damn dead cell phones! LOL. Not heat, food, water!. Crazy. One other thing, I swear I am not joking. I play this video game on my PC with other adults online. Its called DayZ and is a survival based game during a zombie apocalypse. The game creates a need to learn how to survive. all the basics, you can starve, dehydrate, become hypothermic, hyperthermic and get sick. You learn how to loot for survival supplies. There are bad people called bandits that will steal your stuff and potentially kill you for it. You can build shelters, etc. Its fun and also no joke. You become attached to your gear and loot and do not want to di and loose it. You get the point, but I feel because of that game I know what to do if a catastrophic scenario occurred where I had to bug out. I have so much to learn and videos like this really help me. Thank you man. (please don't think I'm crazy for playing video games since I'm 58 yrs old LOL).
Make a channel an get paid to write books
Good for your customers you were a professional and not an amateur!
@@goldentabbyproductions2289 I kind of doubt that the kind that would actually start looking to loot and rob others in a SHTF scenario would be watching SHTF preparedness video... much less end up watching this video then scrolling the comments and then making the connection of one poster to an actual neighbor that he/she happens to know the name of...
As a father that is required to travel within a 2 hour radius of home. I consider my bag a get home bag. Very well thought out bag Chad.
What is the deal with all the reply requests?
@@thegreenman6216 I know how bad and how far that I'd. But you have to have a plan first and then implement the plan.
Smart you have a bag. 30 years ago my family thought I was nuts, now they all have stuff in their vehicles.
Appreciate what you and your team are doing. God Bless!
Great info. I'd have a Leatherman multi-tool. Small, lightweight and versatile.
Great point! I keep Real Avid multi-tools in my truck, "Go box" & bug out/get home bags bc they're ALMOST a multi-tool, but are geared towards keeping your firearms in good working order. If you can take both - why not? If you can't, then yeah a multi-tool is probably the better choice.
FWIW - I coated my Leatherman in a thick, outdoor paint. I prefer to use the Real Avid on my guns but, if I have to use my Leatherman, that paint layer prevents any marring. Not so I look good bugging out, but so I don't create rust-prone spots on my kit.
A must.
Good job good useful information thank you
First thing that came to my mind useful in many different ways.
I have a few additions I would bring.
1- I have a small, lightweight book of 100 "survival hacks" for surviving in the wilderness. (Packing a book like that would be invaluable to people who aren't as adept at field craft). It covers every thing from making fire, to building shelter, even finding water and trapping animals.
2- I always pack multiples of a few things, especially fire making materials, Ferro rod, matches, even a lighter (metal with extra fluid). Also, multiple lights.
3- emergency items like a convex mirror for signaling. Local map and compass. One of those quarter sizes magnifying glasses(for fire making, just in case I lose all the others somehow, really nervous about losing certain items if you haven't noticed).I carry the life straw and water purification tablets. Multiple knives (probably should buy a Leatherman too, but I'm not a huge fan of the blades on them, but they are handy). Small whetstone to keep my knives sharp if I'm staying a prolonged period of time (this is meditative for me more than necessary). I'd also add a couple carabiners to the 550 cord you have packed (many uses and super light weight, they don't even have to go inside the pack, just clip them to the outside. Can be used to erect shelters, put your food in a tree to keep away from bears or scavengers...etc)
3- if I'm packing a rifle I'd bring my smaller ar15- 5.56 and a couple mags. However, if this was a leaving for the wilds and who the hell knows when I'm coming back, I would bring 2 additional pieces. 1- my 22LR conversion BCG & 2- a 22LR AR-15 style magazine. (I can carry a 1000 round box and not add a crazy amount of weight). You can use it to hunt for food without bringing another weapon. So you're covered for a good long while. Also a very light amount of fishing tackle. It's compact, and light weight, but could prove invaluable in prolonging your life in the backcountry. These last few are for very unlikely situations, but I have thought about it enough to prepare for the eventuality. Then again that's what the 'bug out bag" is all about, being prepared. I'm taking my suppressor and NODs as well, because why the hell not. Plus being able to shoot and see at night would be a massive advantage in many scenarios including hunting, so it's not as impractical as it sounds.
Thanks again for the info, I'm curious if any of y'all would agree with some of my additional items. Let me know. Thanks.
Just thought of something else to potentially prepare. A smaller bag that can be attached to the exterior of your main pack. I'm the bag you can carry some more extras of life saving items you already have in your main pack. Also, you can put items that are more of a "want" vs a "need" category. The idea of this secondary bad is that these are items that would be great to have but aren't necessarily vital to survival, so if you find yourself in a situation where speed and maneuverability are important, you can detach this bag and lose the excess weight. You attach it to the exterior of your main pack so you don't steal any room from your necessary items and it can also be shed quickly. I don't see a reason to not have that kind of setup, because it's so easy to abandon. I still would try to limit it to only a few pounds, because the squeeze has to be worth the juice.
I have my bag and have been looking up this stuff for years now. Learned some valuable things from this video! Thank you!
Outstanding video and information!!!
I love your channel Chadd!!!! You always put out such useful and helpful videos and information to better people's lives and help those that may not know as much get a good start in the right direction so they get off to a great start. I bet the training you give is outstanding!!! If I was younger and on good health I'd be signing my butt up for your training!!!
You are so right about cheap raingear. I have spent a lot of days in my postal career walking around soaked to the skin with crappy rain gear that wets through almost instantly. So much of what passes for rain gear is really just good for cutting the wind a little bit.
Thank You for Your information.
Always good to get "heads up " for someone who has been as well trained.
Great streamlined system, love the pods for organizing stuff … will definitely be implementing the elements!
I like your style Chad. There’s an authenticity about you that’s quite refreshing.
I can't begin to realize your life experiences to this point! I love it. I recently came across your channel and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Great info from one who has been there and "lives it", want to thank you for your effort, time, and wisdom. I only wish I were a lot younger.
Thank you very much! It’s great to get correct information from someone that absolutely knows and uses their equipment.
Each family member in our house has one, always looking to improve! Awesome suggestions on your video 💪
I'm 70 and Chad inspired me to get off my ass and prepare. This dude has his shit together for sure.
Hey Chad, first of all, Thanks for your service brother. Navy vet here myself. Your video just popped up and I am glad it did. I watched a few vids and subbed to your channel. Looking forward to watching more.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I'm a retired Marine my bag is a get home bag , as I travel 30-40 miles away from home each day . There are only two differences in our bags , 1. I carry a mid size pistol 4 mags and 50 extra rounds . And 2. I carry a lightweight hammock with a generous rain fly , my sleeping on the ground days are over " I hope " . Everything else including dehydrated food is the same . O' almost forgot , I carry a small hand held ham radio that also picks up local F.M. stations to use for route intelligence and situational awareness.
It should be required that you know the difference between there, their, and they're to purchase a gun. How embarrassing.
i love my hammock under quilt top quilt all down very ilght and compact
@@lf2334 Thank you Mr.Spelling Nazi, I was tired and it was late. Please forgive. Do you feel superior enough now. Or should I self flagellate and send you photos for your ego ?
Not a lot of trees in some locales. Midwest, desert or above the treeline for instance. Tent always does the job.
@@curtisbrilz1824 Hey Curt , I didn't mention in my post that I live in Florida, so a hammock makes sense for my terrain , even if I had to take routes that went through the marsh , a hammock would keep me out of the water or off of soaking wet ground.
Thanks for not shilling for companies.
I love the way you use smaller bags to organize. My bag always gets so scrambled and it drives me crazy. I made an 11 x 7 super light tarp out of silnylon that I use for shelter. My sleep system is the weakest aspect of mine.
So glad you have shared this. People need to pay attention
Thanks for sharing man. This is great. Appreciate your content and your service 🇺🇸
Always good info . Keep the faith , practice what is good and learn to use what you have available . G. Speight

@hof0556 No because I am actually a 5'4 105 female. Ridiculous comment because you're lacking in IQ from eating meat?? Or is that just a generational curse?
@hof0556 😮🤔🤣😆😂🤪😜
@hof0556 I am also a vegan. That is also my choice.
Idk why that would bother you so much. Maybe grow up a little.
@@anthonyforfare7223 Yes, your bf is a hoot. A real scholar too. Clueless about diet and nutrition and triggered about opposing opinions.
@hof0556 Vegas athlete here. Get a grip little guy not everyone is into taking part of the destruction of their health.
This may be the best basic/101 description of what and why on getting out and away I've seen in my 65 yrs. Well done.
Just found your channel few weeks ago and enjoy your videos . is right spot on with your go bag..that quilt can save your life from hypothermia . Being your back ground I'm sure you know the symptoms it pays to know them once you lose the ability to think your history... thanks again for another video!!
I carry a get home bag. I live in northwest Montana and work any where from 15 to 40 miles from home. Mine is similar but a tad lighter. Good vid!
Thanks Chadd, another good video, right to the point, no BS, just the basics.
Your videos are pack with some if the best information I have ever seen on TH-cam. Keep up with the great material
This is gold! I've spent some time outdoors hiking / rucking / kayaking / etc.., all this is brilliantly packed and arranged. Love some of the brands you're talking about! Thx for sharing!
I was using a GoLite forever until they went out of business. Just learned about hyperlite from your video. Great setup!
The large Smart Water bottles are great too. They are much lighter while still durable. They are inexpensive and there are several filters made that attach directly to them. I keep several around the house as my daily water drinkers. I'll keep one for a year or more, with daily use.
Wide mouth water bottles are the way to go if there is any chance of freezing weather.
Hi Just seeing your comment about the bug out bag. I too, like the smart water bottles because I incorporate the Sawyer Mini's for water filtering and the smart water bottles have an exact match on the sawyer mini threads so yes, I too use and re-use my sawyer and smart water bottles. Sometimes I don't rely on the fridge filter but instead filter my tap water. I really get good use out of my sawyers. Oh I take them on vacations and on cruises too. Who wants to pay for bottled water on a cruise! 8 or less bottles worth on a cruise and you've paid for your sawyer.
Excellent and as practical as it gets. Thanks and God bless you mister.
Love the video and all information ! Thank you for all your information !
We are a 72 year old disabledcouple on SS. We won't be leaving our home. For one reason we worked hard to have our home and barring flood or fire we won't leave our home to vandals and looters. We will make our stand here.
I spent 5 and a 1/2 months walking from Georgia to Maine on the Appalachian trail. I used a lot of similar equipment. A great source of information would be to watch what ultra light backpackers are using on the Appalachian trail. I do have a gear review on my channel where I recorded my entire Appalachian trail through hike.
Many other videos that I have seen about people reviewing their go bags, have such heavy equipment it wouldn't be very practical.
Great information!
Wow! What an adventure.
How many days food did you carry before resupplying?
@@redpillnibbler4423 Usualy only 3-5. The Smokie Mountains and the 100 Mile Wilderness in Maine were a bit more.
@@joevanderkooi816
People heading out into the wilderness with a bug out bag for an indefinite period are in for an unpleasant awakening.
Your attitude is straight forward and easy to understand.Very rare these days.God bless!
Excellent channel and information. Thank you.
Thanks dude. I lived in rural SEASIA for about a decade. Cool Kiss simple stuff. Borrowing a bunch of it.
I’ve been studying ultralight backpacking for a couple years. It perfectly complements prepping for “shtf” and “bugging out”. Having all the gear you need to sustain yourself indefinitely in the lightest possible package.
Yes like you say - to compliment but not replace a proper bug out bag.In reality using a get home bag you’d be struggling after a month and then depending on favourable locations,non-hostile other people around,not being injured or ill or looking after other people,ability to procure food and purify water,navigating to a plan etc.
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. With everything that’s going on in the world this is invaluable information. Thanks brother!
Thank you, sir. Great information as always.
Everybody should own a Bug out bag and an Underground Bunker!
A multi tool and some fishing gear for sure, 5 days is a good amount of time but I’d feel better being able to acquire a renewable and self sustaining food source. Great video as always man
Great point - fishing gear would be critical and not too heavy considering the peace of mind it may give when the food starts getting low.
Amen to that living in the country. You don’t have to immediately bug out if you stay bugged out. I am going to prepare a small “get home” bag in case I find myself at work or in town when the fan gets splattered. Thanks for the time you put into your videos as well as sharing them with us. God Bless.
Solid no BS info! Thank you Brother!
Great video! I'm gonna copy how you have categorized your bags. The one must-have thing on my pack is bear spray. Because of where I live, I have had to use it once on an aggressive bear, but I think it has more applications than that. Twice I’ve used it on aggressive dogs and once on a fisher, which is basically a ten pound weasel. The fisher was on top of my chicken coop and moving to attack my dog. I had a handgun, but I’m not good enough to make that shot, especially with my dog in the way, so I fogged him with the bear spray, got the dog a little and the both ran in opposite directions. Anyway, I’m a fan of the hot sauce. Thanks for the video.
I carry basically the same gear, but also have a fold up saw, leather man multi tool and a basic fishing kit!
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
Things I'd add: Multitool with a good knife and can opener (maybe get rid of the fixed blade to save on weight), paracord, a pair of Mechanix gloves, toilet paper in a ziploc (unroll to save on weight), hand sanitizer (travel size), baby powder (travel size), chapstick (or small packets of petroleum jelly), and an extra pair of socks...having two pairs to rotate is so nice. The lighter, petroleum jelly and hand sanitizer come in handy if you are struggling to start a fire. If your lighter dies, it weighs nearly nothing, and you can still use the ignition spark, or the ferro rod. I might also swap the JetBoil for a Pocket Rocket and an ultralight titanium pot. It boils less efficiently, but is way more versatile to have a pot you can use on a fire and for other applications.
Biggest thing is: don't assume you don't need something, or can bring an unneccesary heavy item because "you're tough enough." I have been on trips with people who had this attitude and they always wanted to stop short of the destination because they got too tired from their heavy pack, or they didn't sleep because they were too "tough" to bring something that would make them comfortable. If it's light, bring a lot of it, if it's heavy, don't bring it at all haha. Notice how Chad has a bunch of lightweight comfort items. Mental well-being is extremely important. Treat yourself like a big baby when you approach this stuff.
Awesome video, great advice. Maybe add some glow sticks, small tool kit and or Leatherman tool.
Only thing I would add is a Grayl water purifier those things are awesome.
Love your presentations Chad! Short and to the point!
thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!!! i agree with you everyone needs to get out & stay out at least for the entire weekend if not longer with just their pack!!!! be safe out there!!!
Great list/pack nicely done. For month long movement minimum weight will quickly determine what is essential. Hopefully it will not be required.
Incense! Great idea!! Extra socks are always good.
Excellent pack! I am watching and learning 🙏❤
Love the pod system, never thought of separating it into categories. Thanks for the newly found knowledge definitely something for the mental Rolodex. Thank you sir
Just having the chest rig defeats the purpose of your bag not being camouflage, or the gray man tactic , but that’s a nice Bag though you got a lot of stuff in there,The only thing I’m missing is a cover for the element, I got a mosquito tent ,good insight.
I agree with the military style bag. I decided to make a camo backpack work. Honestly I don't see something like that as tactical. Most people see that and think hunting. It fits everything I need to get home in 48 hours.
God bless you I just found this channel 2 weeks back. I'm used to the country but I bought my grandparents house. In the city I'm itchy. Walk Round with my piece. Glad to see we keep about the same GO BAG.. at the end of the day God will supply and provide my extraction plan!! God speed..
I’ve had my go bag put together for a couple years and was comfortable with it but seeing this video I may make some adjustments. Thanks for putting this together
I really wish the tactigoons could see that there's more options out there than an army ruck. You make a great point about the lighter gear let's you have a few more items and still be very mobile.
I want to blend in as best as I can, with that bag you could be just another person on the highschool gym floor
In addition to the paracord I would bring several different sized zip ties. Lightweight and could save you if ever in a pinch
Now they have zip ties at Ace Hardware that can be released and undone. Reusable.
Good stuff, thanks. I'd add a lightweight trotline setup and bait, plus snare wire.
Footwear. Wool, extra wool, slim wool and ultra boots. Then, all the rest. Great presentation. God bless.
Well done. An axe, swiss army knife and silky saw I would add. Thats it.
New to channel and may have covered in another clip. Maybe talk about the "go-no go" decision when accessing to leave your primary home. Read sometimes it's best to hunker down first before deciding to bug out. Thanks.
my bug out bag is, at its core, an ultralight backpacking set up. Anything I need besides that can be determined at load out. ULTRALIGHT BACKPACKING IS A GREAT HOBBY THAT TEACHES LIGHT PACK BASICS WITH CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY.
so many people need to watch this. I have always blended ultralight backpacking & prepping for my get home bag & until now I've seen almost no one that shares my same philosophy. That being said, if the only one that does is a former navy seal with a love for backpacking a long distance marathons I see myself in good company. Thank you for the video sir. Like & subbed.
Cool bag! And I agree 100% on sleep gear :) :) :)
For people like me who live in the city, I think hurricane Katrina was probably the best example of how things can go sideways fast. Police will section off areas to defend, roaming criminals will look for opportunities and most people will not do much of anything but wait for someone else until supplies really become scarce. Simply getting out of the city will be a monumental achievement.
I think I might get a Hyperlite pack. I always get a kick out of the Ultra lite guys on the trail and they are not weighed down at all compared to all the turtles! While on the AP I met many guys who ditched their tents, sleeping bags and whatever else and had a small tarp, cord and not much else for shelter.
I prefer a bug net tent under a tarp.
Coms, ax or saw, non electronic time keeping, some sort of prefilter for water to help keep my filter as clear as possible. I can't sleep on the ground anymore, so a hammock is usually how I go for that. Binoculars and signaling. I also have a solar system for recharging batteries for things like flashlights/ GPS/phones/etc that goes on the outside of my pack during the day.
I don't know. I am adding weight with every item. And I work with a group/family that has group items to help with that. That includes gear for kids and medications for older adults who need them and will need to wean off of them if "cold turkey" is not an option. That also includes corrective eye gear for people who would be transitioning from contacts to glasses.
Thank you for your thoughtful video
A silky folding saw, fish hooks & line, folding shovel and some foot powder!
Have you ever considered securing your shelter to your bag with a strap or something? If you needed to get away quick or something and it happened to get snagged by a branch and fall out what would you do in that case? Just found your channel tonight I love it!
As another person added, I would recommend a (Leatherman) multi-tool or small fixed blade. As a former MP, I always love receiving a notification knowing that great Intel is incoming. Thank you for sharing!
Oh and as a former MP, I always have 2- black pens and a small notepad to hold information. Never fails and doesn't rely on batteries or tech support.
Lastly, knowledge 💡is key 🔑 ... Thanks again!
Sir this was an excellent video. You covered absolutely everything needed. As I was watching, I was going over things I had that would work in this situation. I randomly thought of my power bank and I was like, he's probably not going to include this, and low and behold, you did!
Love your videos. I am talking with my wife to get our bag and other emergency stuff bought and stored.
I'd say more socks, spare laces, blister patches & possibly, spare shoes... In your scenario, your moving every day. Your feet & footwear is going to take a beating... And that's if you don't take an injury. Water sources could really jam you up over the distance you mentioned. Is a bicycle possible? Just my uneducated 2 cents...
Nice kit. No extra socks or foot powder?
I used to scoff at inflatable ground pads. Used one on an outing last year for the first time. Night and day. I was comfy and had some of the best sleep I had had in months at that time.
Very informative and no BS. Thanks for more content.
Ay man we sure appreciate all of the knowledge you share with us like minded people, thank you!
It would be nice if you left a list of the items in the description. Thank you for a great video.
Awesome video, great loadout. And just to echo, everyone needs to spend time in the woods as #1. The gear will work itself out as a result of that.
Great point 👍
