      Jeff Kinder I think some people take things alittle too far but I don’t see why having a money belt with a few other items in it and having a “bug out bag” with a lot of the items he has close by with a durable firearm is not a bad idea. I’ve had food and water at the house since 99 and have a bug out bag but I don’t keep it in my vehicle because I live and work in Detroit and they’ll smash and grab quick! lol

    This has a wealth of info. (I just put the P51 can opener in my Amazon cart!). However, some things are not practical for big cities such as NYC and Chicago. As a native NYC’er I will say that specific sling bag and/or patch will make you stand out, as will that BCM hat. A simple backpack or a business/laptop sling bag (if people decide to use a sling bag) and a basic baseball hat are much better. The jacket is fine. No molle system etc. Good point on checking with knife laws- a good multi tool may be a good option to avoid being detained at checkpoints etc. while also providing a tool for self defense or otherwise as needed. (I know a straight knife is ideal, but it makes you look much more suspect to big city cops, and you won’t be stripping trees etc. in a big city. Whereas, a multitool can draw blood if needed, pick locks, open food etc. AND is much more explainable if you get detained) Also, at the least, a N95 mask is essential (I would pack that before I did a camping stove etc.). I was downtown during September 11th- it just seems more practical in todays world of biowarfare and terrorism.

    13:55 if you’re planning a “get home bag”, don’t forget you might have to “get out” first… if you work in a high rise office or any locked facility, you may need to break out before you can get home! Elevators may be offline, key-badges may not be working, security staff may be too busy to let you out… there’s a good chance you’ll be smashing windows, prying door jams, cutting fencing, just to get on your way home.

  • @davidpyle7333
    @davidpyle7333 5 ปีที่แล้ว +153

    Don, great video as always, but respectfully must disagree - way too much gear for an urban bag. My experience (NYC power outage in 2000, NYC post 9/11, evacuating a 20 story hotel in São Paulo at 2am because of power outages....) taught me that fast and light is key in a city. Sling bags get very heavy very quickly, 20lbs will kill you. When SHTF in a city you want to get as far away as fast as possible, so you’re not going to be lighting fires or cooking. You’re going to be moving, so water, energy bars, and good shoes is what you need.

      I'm sure, his kit was assembled for the area where he lives. Most cities in the US are wide spread, with much lower population density than a typical European city. People often commute 20 to 40 miles, one way daily. It may take 3 to 4 days to walk back home if something major happens. Many of the items can be very useful.
      Also, he can quickly cache items he doesn't need for the conditions. This is where the trash bags come handy.

    Use your bag and practice with the gear. Just took my daughter out in the rain and started some fires. I gave her a magnesium rod and a pocket knife. It took ten minutes for her to learn a lifelong skill.

    Some good ideas... but waaaaay too much gear for a GHB. 8lbs max. I like the idea of the crowbar in an urban environment though. You dont want to get caught with the handgun in NY or Boston etc... you will go to jail, but the crowbar is an excellent improvised wepon idea for urban. Gotta cut down the redundancy. Why that much fire kit? Where are you going to use 4 ferrorods in a city that you wouldn't first grab one of the 3 bic lighters you have? Remember the goal is "get home-urban", not "camp in central park."

    SO, let's get some clarity and reality errbody!
    EDC containing ⬇️
    - Chapstick: Great to have when dehydrated, used daily hence EDC relevance, useful as fire starter and can also be used to lubricate a firearm or protect a wound (versions can also be purchased with antibiotic properties).
    - Firearm: If you can and desire to do so, a pistol with a few spare mags or box of ammo. No delusional long guns and chest rigs 🙄.
    - Knife: It's uses are obvious.
    - Water Purification tablets: Throw 4 or so in a wallet or purse and your good for 4-8 liters (that'd more than cover anyone's get home trip if paired with water that's already onboard).
    - Quality lighter: Obvious uses.
    - Duct tape: Wrap a few feet around the lighter. Can be used to patch things but more importantly as moleskin for your feet and any places that may chafe. Also replaces a booboo kit. That said, if you need a booboo kit you don't need a booboo kit 😂, so toss it. Lick the wound and keep pushing.
    - Flashlight: Small or keychain sized. Just incase your phone goes down.
    - Bag: This should only contain food, water, map and a compass (if and only if you expect to be in an area that you're unfamiliar with. But most of us have no issue finding our way home from most places we frequent). You could get away with doubledup Walmart bags but a decent pack to manage the weight is smart. But if you don't have the budget a $5 backpack from the thrift store is good.
    - Food: Non-cook, ready to eat food ONLY. Enough to match close as possible (watch pack weight) to the caloric requirements of the trip you'd be likely to face.
    - Water: LIQUID IV

    It’s designed to walk me through 20 miles of urban and suburban territory. Made some photocopies of some old hagstrom maps of the relative terrain, also keep updated google offline maps in my phone.

    My get home bag is also my work bag. Worst case scenerio I have a 100 mile hike back to my car if the grid goes down, most of which is walking along railway lines. My grey man outfit will be my fluro orange safety vest .
    A lot of the items mentioned are part of my work carry kit. I always have extra clothing as I live in a semi alpine climate. My good boots are already on my feet. The amount of extra kit I carry for emergencies probably only weighs a couple of pounds , mylar blanket, cask wine bladder (holds 1 gallon water when filled), extra lighter & cotton wool, water purifcation tablets,spare torch batteries & some extra food (funny how you always get hungry when stuck on a broken down train)
    I suppose it depends on your circumstances on what you carry.

    I use the same bag for my urban bob. I put in a small hatchet in the back of the pack. It’s heavier but you can remove the pry bar and bayonet for a one tool option plus I always carry a folding knife. Great vid a lot of folks forget how many ppl live and work in the cities.

    If you jam that muzzle O-ring at the bottom of the blade in bayonet case where you would normally slide the blade in, you get the hammer. That's what is it designed for and it works pretty well.

    First things first get a pair of walking shoes and socks. Remember it’s “get home”. With that you’ll need water and maybe a ball cap and sun glasses with a light rain jacket. I like the idea of cash and the water thing. That’s pretty much it. A pistol if you live in a rough city but really don’t need a stove or really any camping gear. I keep a gym bag in my truck with workout clothes and water bottle. There’s my get home bag if for some reason I can’t drive home on however much fuel is in the vehicle.

    Cash is really important. There have been several times when I needed gas and the stations card readers were out. I have a 70 mile commute one way. I cross urban, suburban, farmland, and countryside depending on the couple of different routes I take. So my EDC/work bag is a slingbag and I carry a VEDC backpack and tool bag in my SUV. It all gives me some versatility as to what I might need depending on the situation.

    Good advice for me if I need to go somewhere temporarily. I’m in the country & won’t be ‘bugging out’. I’ll stand my ground here.
    The sling bag I’ve got one twice that size that I put everything in it including clothes and it sets across the back of my cruiser strapped to my seats and saddle bags. Makes a nice thing to lean back on while riding my motorcycle.

    One thing that I have in my truck it’s a pelican case and I put a cable lock through it and around the leg of my seat and I carry my boots and get home bag inside of it. It would be really hard for somebody to steal it. So I picked up a couple of locks for the box and two locks for the cable itself which cost $32 at Home Depot and I bought a used military pelican case at the Swap meet for $45And now my $2500 get home bag as well protected for under $100. Now when I go out with my truck somewhere and everything I don’t have to worry about my stuff getting stolen.

    I ride my hybrid gasoline powered bicycle alot. While back pack on I can grab my large bear spray fast while riding with my hand reaching in back pack for fast response if needed. Stay strapped or get clapped. My hybrid bicycle gets about 160-180 miles to the gallon depending on pedaling and a 4 stroke engine. A gasoline powered bicycle is the way to go. Most battery powered bikes don't have the riding range yet.

    Picked up my silcock key for 5 bucks at lowes. Lowes, home depot and the like are good places for some survival items. And if you have old jars of Vicks vapor rub, you can use it instead of Vaseline. Good for minor Aches and pains, skeeter repellent and it burns. 1 cotton ball impregnated with vicks burns for about 10 minutes.
