I asked the true president to break up big tech like they did ma bell but he didn't have time but we will have Fath I subscribe I hope it helps take care keep up the good work .
Consider adding the following: Roadside safety vest. If permissible conditions exist and you are walking along a roadway it will provide a level of additional safety. Also if you become injured in the woods and cannot move you will be more easily seen by potential ground pounding rescuers. Contractor grade trash bags. Too many uses to even type out. In the weight vs. value range these are pure gold. On a tactical note. Your kit is well thought out but a tad on the heavy side. Not an issue if you train to haul the weight over long distances. Also, remember GPS devices are great tools for finding your way BUT they are also great devices to locate you whether you want to be found or not.
This is obviously the kit of someone who has put in the miles, it's refreshing for me to see someone who acknowledges they might have to leave their vehicle and makes a hikers type kit from the off. My kit is similar but I'm older so it's less tech heavy, if you're an officer you'll want to stay away from map and compass anyway!!! Joking aside, the only possible improvement I could suggest is possibly replacing the plastic bottles that you have in your wash kit with the clear plastic ones that you take on commercial flights. Do you need the whole bottle of XYZ? Most commercial products are a quarter to a third empty when you buy them, they're rarely full to the top you can cut back on the bulk. Surgical spirit or as you call it rubbing alcohol in a clear plastic spray bottle has literally a hundred uses too. Help start a fire, disinfect canteen lids, disinfect cuts, toughen skin up in blister areas. It doesn't smell like food (to a bear) unlike some disinfectant ointments if you are in bear country, A short term bug juice. Aaaand so on.
When I started to get more indepth with the bag I looked toward the people that do it everyday and live out of their bags, AT, AZT, PCt ect. I learned alot of valuable lessons from them. Also Land Nav is no issue for me Im an NCO lol Alcohol would be a good addition! I'm always looking to improve.
I gotta recommend some gorilla tape and 91% isopropyl alcohol for your feet if trekking a long distance and/or with a heavy ruck/load. Even with good broken in boots it'll add up, I've had better luck personally with the tape than any mole skin or similar product and the alcohol (im addition to medical uses) is really good for drying out your feet on the move and before swapping socks for bed, and it doesn't accumulate a powder goo over time in your shoes/socks either.
I’m wracking my brain and there really isn’t anything I can think of to add that would be worth the weight. A suppressed compact .22 pistol would be handy but 3 guns is a little overkill. I keep my M&P Compact .22 with suppressor in my GHB kit to supplement my EDC but I also don’t keep a long gun due to my area. I’m only 23 miles from work through city/suburb so I believe a long gun would be more of a hassle than it’s worth. The little .22 pistol package with 3 loaded mags weighs nothing. I’m betting on speed over firepower so I keep it light. But I did have a long gun secured in the car over “the summer of love” just in case things got sporty.
The Helikon Tex poncho is $40 CAD all day long, even on Ebay. Plus shipping usually, of course, but if anyone is charging $140 everyone should hard pass.
@@PreparedAirman that is kind of insane. I have been using the Mil-tec version for years with pretty good results myself, but to see that kind of price discrepancy between two popular platforms is just insane. The Helikon can still be had for a good price but don't pay the gouge prices!
It's an EDC item for me. Literally always on my side. I didn't mention it but I guess my edc is apart of my bag too. I'll have to do that next time lol. I carry the Leatherman wave.
i would add a knife, cause yeah the moira bushcraft are great but like we say, 1 is 0 and 2 is 1, a knife is the most valuable gear, if it break you will be happy add 1 more, also, you need a hatchet
I personally always have a knife on me and a Leatherman wave in the bag. I also don't carry a hatchet because of weight and economy of work. A saw is faster, quieter, lighter ,less prone to injury and requires less calories to utilize. But that's just me.
@@PreparedAirman well its depend if you build a bag for hiking or more bushcraft, i carry little folded saw, saw blade to buscraft m'y own frame saw in the field, 3 knifes, 1 hatchet and 1 tomahawk, but i need to admit, i live in north of canada, we need process a lot of wood fire lol
@@PreparedAirman about weight, m'y tomahawk is less than 2 ponds, aài think its about 1.8 or 1.9, it can also be use for protection considering here we cant carry fire arms
I really enjoy your videos and I've been a fairly long time subscriber. What I don't get is the 10,000 or more BOB videos on TH-cam. Where is everyone bugging out to? I live in a suburban area east of Denver. My community is over 2000 homes. And that's one of at least a dozen within a couple of miles. You wouldn't want to bug out headed west. Going further east? Where? to the plains? We already know that in a SHTF scenario I70 would be blocked on the east and west sides of the Denver metro area. I25 will be blocked north and south of what is referred to as the Front Range. I just see BOBs being not very practical unless you need to bug out to a public school building 1/4 mile from your house and taking some short term necessities. Most people in these communities are families. These bags become a hobby, nothing more. I work in construction and around here a get home bag is way more practical since you could be working east or west, north or south and could be looking at a trip home of 15, 25, 40 miles, trying to avoid crossing through the city and avoiding other suburban areas. Just my opinion.
Some people get more into as a hobby some have legitimate reasons. I view it as "at least people are getting prepared " regardless of what motivates them. Personally my family has a bug out community that we will move to incase of major issues say fire or before it gets too dangerous to live in cities. We have a predetermined location with assets pre stocked for us there. Best case we can drive, wost case we walk . So the bags are tailored to the worst case seneiro.
No place like home.If and when the sizzle hits the fan leaving home is the last resort.Bug out bag is a last resort.Most of us do have families which makes the situation that much harder.

tarp, shoes, multitool, the first aid/trauma kit is not opened: tourniquet and disinfection , UHF radio, otherwise I believe this is a great set up for a single season and single geographic location.
All is done just not in view. Pocho is my tarp, multitool (Leatherman wave) is in my HPG chest rig just not shown. Both first aid and trauma kit are open and easy to access. They are in heavy ziplock bags because I built them myself. ( th-cam.com/video/KX8O7TzFSWo/w-d-xo.html ). Both tourniquets are out of sight because of the camera angle. One is attached external to my backpack and the other is on the bottom of my chest rig for easy access easy to access. 😁 Personally I've never carried a radio and I see no added benefit to the weight. Both my current home and bug out community have them so I don't have a reason to carry it.
Hello stranger. Sorry I have not chatted back lately. Hope you are staying well. How’s the boy? Very nice presentation again. Each time is better than before. Tonight I watched on a 65” monitor so I could better see and make notes. Thanks for taking the time to carefully lay everything out and for placing related products together. I am proud of your continuing progress and skills. This presentation is old hat for you. You live it and use these products every week. Re: your saw, keep your eye open for the Silky Saw from Japan. Uses a pull cut and is sharp as a razor. Many arborists swear by them. Various sizes available. Same travel size. Much more efficient to cut with, which saves time and energy. See Amzn. Re: your bag: did you say you have done a video with detailed coverage? If not, I’m interested. Do you have more details of the add on side units? More later. Just wanted to say hello again. Oh yes, one more thing. Carry some eye drops for moisturizing when the RH is so low and the wind is blowing. Makes all the difference. Also help to flush out sawdust and other problems along the road. Do you have a small 10-15x mirror to help you see your eyes better if needed? Have them at WM in cosmetics or Amzn. Some have suction cups on the back to free your hands. Probably 4” max diam. the older you get, the more you will appreciate it. Trust me. More later. Be Safe.
Hello were all doing well. Lots of things to think about aswell. New style and content will be out relatively soon. Should make for better detail and more professional outcome. Back pack update will be out soon. Along with alot of other smaller item and upgrades. Upgraded side pouches are here th-cam.com/video/wbh0qcFXDe4/w-d-xo.html Alot is In the works!
Thanks for the helpful info. Sounds like lots of good ideas in store. Good to hear from you. Sometime we need to swap info. I’ll share some LEO hx from Texas. Be safe. Keep up your continued good work and improvements.
Were there any items in the previous deleted video that were not included in this reupload? I'm new to all this, so I greatly appreciate your videos, PrepAirman!
Only one item was not shown from the previous video due to the YT policy. The item was my Glock 29 in 10mm. With a Streamlight TLR VIR ll for night vision use.
I wouldn't, contacts mean extra care and supplys to care for em. If you do go that route, carry a set a clear safety glasses with full side shields....this will help stop dust and debries.
Have you looked into the Garmin 66i? I know you’re weight conscious but im wondering if the weight of the inreach and the foretrex 601 combined will equal the weight of the 66i but have all of the extra capabilities.
hello, thanks for putting this together and showing-- however no entrenching tool (shovel)?-- yes I understand you have a poncho but no tarp? really? I guess this is more of a 72 hour bag and not an INCH (I am never coming home) bag. paracord? bank line? cooking pot? yes, I have the keith canteen too and it comes with a cup but a cooking pot is something you can not duplicate in nature.
This bag is designed with long distance hiking and speed in mind about 150 miles or 10 days. In that mindset i am quickly moveing from point A to B. Building a shelter or digging along the way will be a waist of time and energy. I use my Poncho as my tarp, and my bivy bag as a separate rain layer for my sleep system. I have 150lb mini paracord line as cordage. I use the canteen cup as my cooking pot. Would it be nice to have a full pot? Yes.. but I can't justify the weight if my canteen cup does the exact same thing just lighter. Every one has different needs mine is being as lightweight as possible without sacrificing usability.
Hey man! This is awesome!!! How comfortably can you sleep with this kit in the cold? And what are your thoughts on the SF Bivvy in regards to the breathability of it? Thanks!!
Fairly comfortable in the summer time with temps dropping in the 40s at night. The swagman roll is good in the mid 50s. I add the clothes to get the temp lower. The SF bivy doesn't breathe very well at all lol. But if you leave your head area open a bit it mitigates the moisture build up. But if it's pouring rain/snow you will definitely stay dry. I have a winter bag setup when it starts to get cold out.
@@PreparedAirman that’s awesome man thank you for the info. And are you able to share the winter load out soon? I’ll be honest, I’ve been struggling with mine.
I would have preferred the capabilities of the 10x36 or R/T but it came down to weight. I am extremely picky when it comes to weight of items. The one I have is 5.6oz the 10x36 is 9.6oz and the R/T is only x8 power and is 10.2oz. So far i have had it for almost 3 years and it has prefrmed as expected, Quality, clarity and rugged. If i wasn't concerned about weight i would have went with the 10x36 for more light transfer to my eye. Might not be the best reasoning for some but that's just me lol
@@PreparedAirman thanks so much for the detailed response. I completely agree with everything you said. I wish we can have our cake and eat it too. Newish subscriber. Enjoying the content.
