This is probably what most people wanted to see, good job guys. I also neglected to mention that I brought my passport and other legal documents in case we had to travel past checkpoints or other potentially government regulated areas.
At the beginning the first guy mentions having a small day pack in conjunction with his BOB bag. The Karrimor SF bag that the second guy uses has the British PLCE side pouches that can detach and attach to their own yolk to make a small back pack (knicknamed a "rocket pack").
Will you guys ever do another series like this? Maybe a winter bug out? I loved the series and good gear! What branch were you in when you were in the military?
Army. We did a winter Bugout last year that's not been edited, and we are filming a winter video in two weeks. If it is to be a winter Bugout you will have to talk the BladeHQ guys into doing a Bugout as opposed to just a winter camping video. I'm personally all about it, but it's not really up to me. KnifeHQ Ty
TJack I'll definitely have to check those out! I asked which branch because my bestfriend is graduating from the marines later this month. A winter bug out video seems really cool also. Thanks for your service!
That's a home made Titanium antenna made by Mr Bateman who runs Hamstudy.org. Email him and he can ship you one. They're 20 bucks and almost indestructible!
As a different weapon option might I suggest a lever action in a pistol caliber. .38/.357 or .44 mag would be my preference, small to medium game no prob. Larger game could be taken with good placement. Then a .22 pistol or .22 conversion kit. Would be hard to hit a moving target but there are other ways to catch food.
+KnifeHQ ahhh 6:47 picking up wild game lol soo he contaminated all his gear by throwing it in the bag with out a ziplock bag? use medical disposable glove on game bigfoot confermed
Was gonna ask this but now we know. Also supposedly/!\ Bigfoot doesn't go up and down when walking. Bigfoots take long strides while staying elevated and cover land much quicker. I'm no expert on Bigfoot, is just what I hear xD
MREs last forever? Try a few months in hot weather. Most civilian MREs sold are several months old by the time you get them. Even when within editable life they will run through you like a freight train unless your gut is use to them. I had my fair share of them mountain house for me
I'm unsure that strops provide "sharpening" capabilities. it doesn't rebend or remove steel from the bevel with any amount of hardness. it DOES remove participants from whatever you were cutting and pull off clinging metal particles from sharpening -the final step of sharpening. But I'm unsure that it "sharpens" itself.
Just a thought from my own experience. I would ditch the newer plastic military canteen for an older metal one. WIth the plastic one you need to carry something else in your pack just to boil water and to me at least seemed counter intuitive. Sure the plastic keeps the water cold but I am much more willing to suck it up and drink warmish water then carry yet more weight and bulk.
TJack Nice. I agree. You use what you have. That is why I used a plastic one for years too. But as I mentioned I found the insulating benefit just did not make sense versus the loss in practicality. Now I am using actually an aluminium canteen and mess kit set I got for a song in an antique shop of all places. They were issued to the Russian VDV airborne in the old soviet days are is super light and has many of the benefits of metal canteens. How is the Titanium? I have only used stainless and aluminium.
Hey we really like your videos I was also wondering where would i get the karramore backpack that you're talking about with the removable pockets. I'm looking for something that holds quite a bit like that. Amazon doesn't have the one like yours and couldn't find it anywhere else. I have been looking for the perfect pack for a long time.
i reallt wish it was long because it seems like u guys cut out a lot of things they covered like other gear. on bug out bag im will to watch an hour long video be ause then i get new ideas that i didnt think of. really wish u guys didnt cut so much out maybe release a uncut video of their gear i would watch it
I completely agree with you, I'd love to watch an hour long video on this type of stuff. But, unfortunately, most youtube channels won't make them that long, because the majority of people aren't as willing like us. So it would obviously hurt their view count if they made it that long. Although, if they'd release a shorter, cut, version, and then a longer, uncut, version, I think it'd be beneficial to them and the viewers
Thanks for posting guys. There is a fine balance between giving ideas, advertising for BladeHQ and providing enough content for the editors to make a decent video. I'm doing a winter video with BHQ this month. I'll see if I can put a bag video that's long on my personal TJack video afterwards. I can't be posting anything that undercuts the KnifeHQ video though. Either way I'll post some long discussion and gear related videos on my TJack channel here for you guys in the next month or so. Ty
It's amazing how rather than focusing on everyday life or addressing todays issues so many people plan for an end whats worse is they hope for it to come to be what happened other countries wanted to be like ours at one time now it a joke compared to the once grand opportunity
I hope what happened to other countries never happens here. I'm having fun doing these Bugouts recreationally and learning a lot in the process. I could have a much worse hobby like video games.
These contents aren't bad for what they are doing, but to anyone wanting to live long term in the woods, don't bring most of this stuff. Because when you live real long term you need to make sure all your gear is sustainable and non-complex such as steel cookware instead of water filtration devices, or recurve bows instead AR-15's.
Outdoor Manly saw you comment and wanted to say your plan is a tad out there. If I can stalk and kill a deer @15yrds with my recurve what makes you think I couldn't get you at the same range?
Bring the good stuff until you make the sustainable local stuff. Keep the good stuff in reserve until needed. Example bring MRE's and eat what you hunt. Then you have MTE's just in case. It's all about having the knowledge to be sustainable more than the gear, but the gear helps.
AlaskanFrontier1 I Agree. But you didn't see the gear the outfitter had. Only our personal gear which was limited and weight restricted. Honestly I'd take my muzzle loader and equipment to melt and make ammo and gun powder. The scenario was to come on onto an already existing setup for long term. Given that your personal kit should include pre cached equipment so that your on your person gear, shouldn't weigh to much. Heavy axes, saws, reloading equipment, extra socks, winter clothing, boots, and stuff like that should be pre cashed. There's the ideal situation then there's what you own when SHTF. So it all depends. On the crooked/hook/draw knife. I'll demo one as soon as BHQ carries one. I can't demo gear unless they sell it. I am limited by this restriction.
the dude with the glasses, you should have you pack more organized for the fact that during an intense situation youll know where your gear is and what it is you need at the moment, instead of dippin' and wishin' you got what you need, idk just a quick tip i gues.
Wish you guys put a list in the text, would make it so much easier than rewinding and trying your best to understand, write, and then search for the item. =) But THANK YOU for a great video.
What's the deal with people's fire kits man? Yeah ferro rods and flint and steel is cool but BIC lighters weight nothing and work forever. Throw six or ten of those in your bag and save the other stuff as backups.
Bic lighters may not work when wet, known to work poorly in colder temperatures, and do not last forever. What happens when the lighter is emptied, does it become left behind and thus part of your presence?
Agimaso Schandir Yesterday I have a big training unity outside and after that, we, my brother and me, wanted to make us sone tea with my E.O.E. Lithium and we need nearly 3-5 Minutes to start the Bic Lighter and today I tested, it isn't out of gas. Additional it may had to be said, that yesterday it has 0 or less degree C! :D (We're living in German,... worse weapon laws here!)! :D
That is an infantry bergen issued to all british armed forces. Not in any way shape or form related to the british special forces what so ever! just saying ;)
+RonJohn63 let me Barney it down. If all local civilizations are so smashed up that you need to flee from them, then no matter how negatively affected the local wilderness is, it will still be a better option than staying in a run down smashed up city with desperate hungry people. Especially in this specific area. Because of the crazy amount of large game, the abundance of fresh water, and the incredible remoteness of the whole thing.
Some nice gear you guys have there. One thing... Ramen noodles are horrible for you. I mean really really bad.. (google it). I realize that in a survival situation, you would be grateful to have them, but if you are going to prepare, you might want to pack something more healthy in your bag.
+TheRebelEye Prove me wrong. Evidently it did just fine in the video. I prefer my Wetterlings for the task usually, but as you can see the Chogan hung in there for being a tactical hatchet. Normally I hate them but this was up to the task.
The more I watch you guys the less convinced you have done anything but play Cowboys and Indians and have never been in a war situation the way you hold your weapons and other equipment is very amateurish At least be honest and admit you feel like a soldier when more than likely you sleep in a waterbed every night
+Glenn Parker I felt like a soldier in Afghanistan. Out there in this video I felt like I was camping in luxury. Trolling like an arm chair quarterback with no video's showing how it's really done is amateurish.
+Glenn Parker That happens when you demo a lot of gear. Why would we use kit from down range in a video that isn't advertising for it? You should re-think your question before posting.
Awesome! Thanks for doing this video! I appreciate you sharing this information!
hahaha "MREs are nice to have cause they last for about.. forever" so true.
Love these bugout videos! I've seen em all!
Thanks for watching and sharing!
This is probably what most people wanted to see, good job guys. I also neglected to mention that I brought my passport and other legal documents in case we had to travel past checkpoints or other potentially government regulated areas.
The wax that I mention is Ear Wax. Mark was too chicken to leave it in the vid, haha.

There are many more Bugout videos on this channel that you should go check out. The desert, urban, and original Bugout initially come to mind. Thanks!
TJack I'll definitely have to check those out! I asked which branch because my bestfriend is graduating from the marines later this month. A winter bug out video seems really cool also. Thanks for your service!
Thank you!
TJack Good tip on the 2nd bag for camp. I love the HL50. What antenna is that on the Baofeng?
That's a home made Titanium antenna made by Mr Bateman who runs Hamstudy.org. Email him and he can ship you one. They're 20 bucks and almost indestructible!
It's an awesome antennae. You can tie it in knots, and it still retains its original shape.
Outdoor Manly I will check it out!
The idea is great until you get back to camp and you've lost everything to bandit A holes which happen to my son the problem was it was all my gear.
VX-8 is an AWESOME radio. I own one-LOVE IT!
+Bruce Forster Agreed!
I like the cow-boy look you guys have in these videos, super cool, super interesting. Keep it up :)
As a different weapon option might I suggest a lever action in a pistol caliber. .38/.357 or .44 mag would be my preference, small to medium game no prob. Larger game could be taken with good placement. Then a .22 pistol or .22 conversion kit. Would be hard to hit a moving target but there are other ways to catch food.
Fun to see ham operators in the field. I carry a 75m CW MFJ Cub....WE3D
Good job guys.
God bless you.
That's just like terrain i live in love it out there but me living in Wyoming i always have wind protection always it's a must.
TJack is way stronger than he looks carrying that big ass pack! That guy must work out! HAHAHAHA
Nope, but the horse sure does! :)
I see a lot of wasted weight and surplus junk. A lot of surplus stuff is good, but it's not useful or the weight to benefit ratio is way too high.
pretty sure I saw big foot in the background to the left at 14:26
***** HA, no that was one of the guides going to round up the horses that had been put out to pasture.
if only
+KnifeHQ ahhh 6:47 picking up wild game lol soo he contaminated all his gear by throwing it in the bag with out a ziplock bag? use medical disposable glove on game
bigfoot confermed
Was gonna ask this but now we know. Also supposedly/!\ Bigfoot doesn't go up and down when walking. Bigfoots take long strides while staying elevated and cover land much quicker. I'm no expert on Bigfoot, is just what I hear xD
GREAT VIDEO...good showing!!!

Those weren't civ MRE's

Actually, plastic as with most things, do break down from direct sunlight. Take a long time? YES, but it does break down.
Just a thought from my own experience. I would ditch the newer plastic military canteen for an older metal one. WIth the plastic one you need to carry something else in your pack just to boil water and to me at least seemed counter intuitive. Sure the plastic keeps the water cold but I am much more willing to suck it up and drink warmish water then carry yet more weight and bulk.
I use a Heavy Cover Titanium one now. I was using an Army one because that's what I've used for years. You use what you have.
TJack Nice. I agree. You use what you have. That is why I used a plastic one for years too. But as I mentioned I found the insulating benefit just did not make sense versus the loss in practicality. Now I am using actually an aluminium canteen and mess kit set I got for a song in an antique shop of all places. They were issued to the Russian VDV airborne in the old soviet days are is super light and has many of the benefits of metal canteens. How is the Titanium? I have only used stainless and aluminium.
+Red River Scout I demoed it. Go to my channel just a few videos back and check it out then Sub if you like it.
TJack Will do. Just got a camera myself and I am thinking about ideas for my first video. Maybe I will go over my gear so far.
+Red River Scout ok but use it in the field while you do in order to build credibility
what type of saw was that? The red fordable one. I tried to look it up, but had no hope.
particulants* pardon the typo. great video regardless.
Hey we really like your videos I was also wondering where would i get the karramore backpack that you're talking about with the removable pockets. I'm looking for something that holds quite a bit like that. Amazon doesn't have the one like yours and couldn't find it anywhere else. I have been looking for the perfect pack for a long time.
Grey Ghost sells them in the U.S. Kerrimore SF Sabre.
Very good ideas, Thank you very much

yey, really like your perspective on things so do keep them comin!

How much fun was this
It's amazing how rather than focusing on everyday life or addressing todays issues so many people plan for an end whats worse is they hope for it to come to be what happened other countries wanted to be like ours at one time now it a joke compared to the once grand opportunity
I hope what happened to other countries never happens here. I'm having fun doing these Bugouts recreationally and learning a lot in the process. I could have a much worse hobby like video games.
You should go camping sometime brother! Little backpacking can go a long way! It's a lot of fun too!

Well I would rather use that weight and space to bring things like a Hook Knife or additional ammo, etc
AlaskanFrontier1 I Agree. But you didn't see the gear the outfitter had. Only our personal gear which was limited and weight restricted.

lol pre-cached you obviously don't know minimalism
Beautiful country my friends, where abouts is that
Book Cliffs in Utah. Check out my channel for some Uintas footage. They are North of the Book Cliffs.
is an Alice pack good for an extended stay
Awesome kit but seems quite heavy
Nice video can you please send me the link where I can get the British bag thanks
Google Karrimor
the dude with the glasses, you should have you pack more organized for the fact that during an intense situation youll know where your gear is and what it is you need at the moment, instead of dippin' and wishin' you got what you need, idk just a quick tip i gues.
+Andrew McGuire I appreciate the tip. We''re gonna do another one soon. I dont claim to be an expert so always improving!
Hey what kind of bag is that you have all the ham radio gear in?
Grey Ghost tactical pouch. Ty
What packs did you guys use
Wish you guys put a list in the text, would make it so much easier than rewinding and trying your best to understand, write, and then search for the item. =)
But THANK YOU for a great video.
+Ninja 87 What specifically are you looking for? Tag me when you reply so I can see it and I will try and help you find links.
+TJack Thanks, I actually did find everything I was looking for. Again, a great video. Thanks!
I want this kind of life.
You and me both. Even if I just get to make these videos every once in a while I'm good.
That British Special Forces Bag looks like an Alice Pack on Steroids, LOL!
Where can I find the big green bag? or how do you spell the name at least. I cant seem to find it anywhere online.
Kerrimore SF Sabre.
I have a review of it on my channel in my how to pack for the winter video.
Tyler, what was that large pack?
It's a Kerrimore SF Sabre sold by Grey Ghost. Ty
"you end up having really heavy bags if you put too much stuff in it"
oh rly?
+Tom Reiner the guy with the grey shirt packs lazer in the bush ahahahahh
What's the deal with people's fire kits man? Yeah ferro rods and flint and steel is cool but BIC lighters weight nothing and work forever. Throw six or ten of those in your bag and save the other stuff as backups.

Self exclamatory?
You might have to explain that a bit more
How much does your pack weigh because you have a lot in there
+Glenn Parker Mine was about 30 lbs, Tyler's was around 45-50. We brought up a lot of gear to test as well.
8:22 cord on hand... I see what you did there
That is an infantry bergen issued to all british armed forces. Not in any way shape or form related to the british special forces what so ever! just saying ;)
what is this small black backpack?
An REI bag, not sure the model.
Rei flash 18
+Štekr Tomáš Brendan got it right; it's a 2013 REI Flash 18.
14:18 Bigfoot? Lmao (back left)
and a laser pointer....
and the dry ramen...
all this gear no piss bottle ? no bush lemonade
Why would you bug out into the wilderness instead of heading to unaffected civilization?
Because the simulated catastrophe is so large that no civilization is unaffected.
TJack Simulated?
Anyway, a catastrophe so large that *no* civilization is unaffected will also affect the wilderness that you run away into.
Ya. But not like the civilization you run from.
TJack What???????
+RonJohn63 let me Barney it down. If all local civilizations are so smashed up that you need to flee from them, then no matter how negatively affected the local wilderness is, it will still be a better option than staying in a run down smashed up city with desperate hungry people.

The guy with the glasses is total noob. He knows it
Thanks man

The moment he said that CRKT hatchet works as a woods mans hatchet, I lost all respect for the man.
+TheRebelEye Prove me wrong. Evidently it did just fine in the video. I prefer my Wetterlings for the task usually, but as you can see the Chogan hung in there for being a tactical hatchet. Normally I hate them but this was up to the task.
+TheRebelEye Smith & Wesson makes a really nice looking hatchet. I'm considering just making my own though.
are you guys hams? KG7UCG
the guy with the blue shirt is good ...the guy with the grey shirt lol noob hahahahah
gasdorfic muncher I'm still learning! Tyler had a LOT
of experience. I enjoyed the trip though. Thanks for watching.
Are these guys serious? Lol
and game meat in garbage bags.....
and a coach gun confirms it.. lol really
Agree to disagree!
That flag patch is only supposed to go on the right shoulder. Looks really dumb on a hat.
The more I watch you guys the less convinced you have done anything but play Cowboys and Indians and have never been in a war situation the way you hold your weapons and other equipment is very amateurish
At least be honest and admit you feel like a soldier when more than likely you sleep in a waterbed every night
Also all your gear is brand new
Never been used explain that to me
+Glenn Parker Make a bugout vid and we'll compare notes.
+Glenn Parker I felt like a soldier in Afghanistan. Out there in this video I felt like I was camping in luxury. Trolling like an arm chair quarterback with no video's showing how it's really done is amateurish.
