I would recommend looking into a good headlamp, flashlights are awesome but they take away the use of one hand, a good headlamp will allow you to use both hands while giving you good light.
Cheapy headlamp that also is of good quality would be some more budget options from Princeton tec. I have one of thier tactical headlamps and it chugs.
I read this and thought about it for a second. This is a war bag , last thing I want is a light on my head that says blow my head off. If I were on the other side of your head lamp I would aim a couple inches below it and that's that. I'll stick with my weapon light and a hand held
Greetings from over the pond, great video, something to think on. Deffo small bolt croppers, Perhaps lockpick kit?, and a padlock/bicycle cable lock to secure your recovery location.
Battalion Chief here again. ya gottah check out SAFE LIFE DEFENSE out of Las Vegas, NV! My Level IIIA+ vest stops everything up to even "Green Tip!" and with my plates?... up to 30.06 baby boy!
Words to live by: "As tough as we may think we are, the safer you can keep yourself and make your way home the better" I agree with you 100%. Thanks for being so damn awesome!
Thanks for this video. I'll be getting one of the 511 packs... not just for the features you illustrated, but also because you did way more than the average "bug out bag" presenter... you actually showed how to deploy your setup, rather than just its contents. That's 100% better, or more, than just a "here's what I've got in my bag" sort of video. (Of course, you also chose excellent gear - some of which I hadn't thought of or seen before.) I also appreciate that while you covered carrying a firearm concealed, you didn't feel the need to parade your gun for us... that makes the viewer think about how their own weapon would fit into your loadout, rather than getting distracted wondering if your gun is better than theirs, so something else equally ridiculous. Well done.
I think it's funny how guys are all too concerned about looking non conspicuous, ie a gray man, but also wear American apparel with form fitting shirts to show off the guns. I know if I see a 30 year old, or older, guy with an athletic build wearing a backpack, I am gonna assume he has a weapon and supplies in it. Not saying I will target these guys, just saying they should be looked out for. When SHTF, just remember that the same guy trying to protect and provide for his family could be the same guy that becomes a bandit.
@@keithhatlak4325 I think all this non-earth tone gear is funny. Browns and greens are what blend-in with the suburban and even urban environments. And yeah, you're gonna need tourniquets if you're gonna stand around with a plate in front of you. I was trained old-school. When I hear weapons fire, I drop to the prone position. It's just how I was trained
My dad was a career criminal, and he's been in and out of the penitentiary all his life (he's passed now). When I was a kid he would tell me stories of the inmates being taken out to "Pea Farms" in MS to harvest peas, and he and his friend Slim planned to escape into the woods surrounding the farm (no fences) one day. His plan was simple: first steal a couple shakers of black pepper during breakfast, second, work the field closest to the tree-line, third, when the lunch bells sounds and 100 hungry men start racing for the chow line then run the other way into the woods, finally, a few feet into the tree-line, dump the pepper, so when the bloodhounds hit it their sense of smell is toast for a while, then you're home free. So, Pepper Spray, probably 101 uses that!
@@dmay949 My dad presented it as fact--having visited him in jail a few times before and after he told this story about him and Slim Henderson (who I still remember to this day, including his matched 6-guns he'd wear around the property) I never saw any reason not to believe him.
First video I’ve seen of yours. I don’t live In a city so my setup will be slightly different but I really like your setup, it’s very well rounded and gave me some great ideas on how to build mine out. You’ve earned my sub and I’m looking forward to watching more of your content. Thanks man! Stay safe out there.
The “ fight bag” concept is new to me. Always billed as urban survival. I really enjoyed your presentation. Leaving the tacticool features for the range bag and getting something subtle seems like the key. Time to rethink my st up.
One of the best discrete sustainment/fighting bags I've seen! Very well thought out and organized. Great for use as an everyday emergency kit or go bag. Can be used in both an urban or rural environment with the addition of only a few items. Great Content!
Great video man, I like the 511 brand also, but I prefer maxpedition... The bag that I use with the setup that you have is the maxpedition prepared citizen, from their urban greyman line of bags, it's very rugged with lots of room and organization, but it looks like a plain ordinary backpack.... Very inconspicuous.
Good stuff but I do have a recommendation. All that equipment other than the shoes looks brand new and very desirable to someone with nothing. Dirty it up a bit. Also grab a shopping cart and load it up with a bunch of shit looking like a bum. Dress up and play the part Slowly work your way home. J.m.o. Cutting through fences in someone's back yard might draw unwanted attention from the land owner.
Well thought out bag, would be curious on what changes you would make and if you would use same bag for a non-lethal version. With no gun, would you add an additional weapon, would you keep the plate and if you didn’t, with extra weight you have available now what would you add. Anyways, great bag and well thought out.
Excellent video on a rarely touched subject. This is the most realistic and truly useful kit I’ve seen anyone on TH-cam present. 👍🏼👍🏼 One suggestion: stage your tourniquets (one is none…), don’t just loosen it up. Prep it for use so if/when you ever need it, it can be deployed as quickly as possible and can much more easily be put on one handed.
Outstanding! I'm a ancient 1st Marines Leatherneck, but we still speak the green language of emprovise, adapt and overcome while evading, fighting, recovering! Also, helping other people with common maintenance (just swapped out kitchen faucet yesterday) is something I've done most of my life. It's good to know there are more of us out there, that when the smoke clears, we can start over and teach some skills to others.
Hey brother look at a pair of “wire pliers” . Super great tool for cutting through any type of fencing and for prying. Any fence supply store will carry them and they usually go for around $20.00. Great multi use tool and pretty light. Great video!!!
Your blue emergency blanket looked to be pretty shiny and noticeable, at least the little bit I saw as you halfway slid it out of the bag. SOL makes one in an olive drab/ green. Not shiny or attention getting at all. available at Walmart, Campmor, Ebay...
Good video! Some I’ve added to my urban supplement kit (I live in a rural environment, but travel to bigger cities from time to time) is a set of lock picks and decoders. Not only can you gain access to look for resources, but you can tuck yourself in behind a locked door for some rest or to regroup. And likely if someone tries coming in, they’ll try breaking through the door or whatever giving you time to hide or arm yourself
Another great video. Does your wife have an EDC/get home kit? I'm currently working on putting together my own, and I would love to see your ideas on a female specific kit
This looks like a great load. Probably a few things I would ditch to get the weight down a bit. Wearing it on your front will make it difficult to get down on your belly if you are getting shot at. But as a Marine I am sure you know that and have a plan! 😉
The one thing I would add would be a green or gray lightweight rainfly for like a hammock you can use it to keep yourself dry is it also for concealment
Couple questions sir when you draw your boom stick are you able to draw it by itself or does the velcro holster come out with it? I really like your night night pouch lmao 🤣 what brand is that lil emergency blanket that's pretty cool. Also with your flashlight do you think it would be able to with stand using it as a blunt object tool? Thanks for showing us sir a lot of great ideals in your videos
Super glad you touched on the benefit of not standing out. There’s a time and a place to stand your ground but evasion is always your best bet, especially if you’re caught off guard and need to move. Awesome job and semper fi bro
Subbed on Christmas Day! Working on putting my packs together. I have enough first aid stuff from collecting first aid kits for the last 5 years from detailing auction cars. Some higher end vehicles and a lot of times suv Toyota’s have basic first aid kits so I’ve just added to the basic stuff!. So first aid ☑️ now to the other necessities
Nice video. Another thing to consider is keeping your feet dry in bad weather. Waterproof socks are nice, but if you don't have them you can carry a few plastic shopping bags (without holes) and a couple of pairs of dry socks. Just put the bags on over the socks you have on then put a pair of spare socks on over the bags. Your shoes should be able to fit over that. When your feet get sweaty, just swap out the socks. Also a decent headlight could be had for about $20 and it will keep your hands free.
Hey Marine-x, we're neighbors I'm in Duncanville. Been really getting into your videos. If you ever make a public appearance be sure to let us know. Thanks for everything you have done and what you do!!!
Second time I've seen that Grayl bottle, definitely adding it to my shortlist. I like that Gerber knife and its lashing holes >_> I have a sillcock key with 4 square sizes to get at water on buildings. Your tool there has 2 square sizes and so I'm curious if those are "enough for most situations" to make having the electrical/gas worth it (shutting off gas could definitely be important!)
Hi, nice bag setup, how about a 6x8 camo green or green canvas tarp, bank line, inflatable pillow and breathable sleeping bag like a green SOL escape bivy? Instead of a Mylar sheet, You could use it in the recovery stage with your perimeter alarms. Maybe add some Comms? Ie: Long range Two way FRS radios like GOCOM G600 or Midland - T10 X-TALKER, 22 Walkie Talkies one left at the destination with the wife or a handheld CB like a Cobra HH50WXST would be nice to see.
If you want to shed some weight without sacrificing protection, and for only a little more green, I would trade out the Spartan panel for a Safe Life Defense panel. Same IIIA+ protection, in 11x14" but at a fraction of the weight (1.3 lbs vs 8.1 lbs). Just a thought. Love the setup my dude!
Been watching these urban bag/Go bag type videos for awhile to get ideas for my bag and this is hands down the best video I have found. Smart setup, great ideas. Good content, Marine-X.
I have a question, I also carry plates in my backpacks, but I just recently got a plate carrier and wanted to ask, do you own a Plate carrier? If so could you one day do a video of your load out. There’s so many mollee webbing on mine I’m not sure what to place on it or how to make a good set up, other than attaching a small med pack.
Just stumbled across this video and your channel. I normally hit these quick and move on within a few minutes but watched yours all the way through. New subscriber here!
I'm using the 5.11 Rush 24 v2.0 and the Fenix LD22 v2.0. Great video! I think NOW is the time to start gearing up. Also, don't forget about backup food. You'll more likely suffer from hunger and thirst before you will against bodily injury.
One of the most useful gear load out videos I have seen. All of the gear is useful, no gmmcky useless junk. I have added lock picks and a portable door locking device to mine so, if I’m in a room no one with a key can get in easily. Your presentation was top notch. I was thinking all he needs is an armor plate and two seconds later you pull one out. LOL. Excellent video thanks.
I'll have to agree with most. Great informational video. Also new here. Gives me great ideas for my 5.11 buyout/urban bag. You have gotten a new subscriber. Definitely looking forward to more videos.
Hi New UK member to your channel playing catch-up. I found this video very informative, with a few heads-up ideas I'd not considered, thankyou. The "fight" aspect of your presentation will prove challenging in countries like the UK where even possession of pepper spray can land you in trouble with the Old-Bill; so here we have to be more, "imaginative" Any tips welcome?... Bug out bag Get home bag Car bag EDC bag EFR bag So many scenario permutations... I'm at work and need to get home ASAP SHTF time, but my EFR bag is elsewhere; all I have is the bag that's with me, it's a jack of all trades master of none crossover covering all the afore-mentioned acronyms.... That's "my" personal EDC bag challenge. But your EFR bag ticks a lot of boxes in this regard. Side note... My hiking bag has easily morfed into a 110 litre survival bag just in case Putin goes completely bonkers and turns Londonigrad into a car park for his besties... Keep up the good work, Sir. Tony (UK)
I'm not into all the Mall Ninja gear (especially when it's not earth-tone in color), but in my case, traveling to various events as a preparedness gear retailer, my entire vehicle is basically one giant get-home vehicle. Ironically, for my own personal contingency pack, I use a Marine Corps surplus parasitic / sustainment bag (from their previous ruck sack system). It's just one big pouch with a flat compartment in it with a separate hydration pouch, but they're indestructible. I have several of them, since the cheapest price I paid for them was $15.00. I like those little tripwire alarms, for securing a mobile perimeter. Kevlar thread is a good thing.
An extremely well put together kit, even if it is by a Marine 😂only kidding, I was a Corpsman…by the way, we lost your shot record. The one thing I didn’t see but what about stuffing an extra pair of socks in your shoes? This was an extremely well thought out pack and you did an excellent job of explaining everything. I really appreciate what you’re doing and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Semper Fi.
Thanks for your service brother....And for your video as well...... My only focus will be on your pepper spray: I have used Sabre, that exact spray you are carrying, in actual defensive situations. I swear by it. And will not carry any other brand. Side note.....it works on dogs too! Personal experience! But, I do carry a canister of dog stop spray. Redundancy is key.
Having the armor plate inside the bag is a good option. Just make sure the plate is riding as high in the bag as possible. If it is sunk to the bottom, it wont be much protection where it is most needed.
Great system. People think even in WROL that they will not be some law enforcement and that you can just walk around with an AR in your hands. Your system allows some one to use just the right amont of escalation to complete your mission. Well thought out. Thanks for sharing.
Good video very informative , I have the KNipex 8inch high leverage bolt cutter it’s pretty good, a little pricey but what’s cost when your life is depending on it . Appreciate you and the knowledge you share .
Great video. Had to say I love that shirt. New subscriber from 2 or 3 days ago and I’ve already binged about half dozen of your videos. When I get more free time, I’ll keep watching.
Please explain to me why so many bags (get home bag, EDC bag, truck bag, bug out bag, fighting bag) seems a bit unnecessary and redundant. I feel like unless there is a natural disaster you have more security and provisions at home. And even then it would be hard to defend by yourself. So you have one clear objective get home safe
Why a steel plate for armor. It’s not NIJ certified being steel armor can’t be certified do to the different Rockwell hardness levels. 2-if you come across anyone with a rifle that shoots 5.56 out of a 20inch or longer barrel it’s going to penetrate 9 out of 10 times. 3- if that “armor” is penetrated are you ready to peel that shredded steel out of your wound?
Travel only at night between 2am - 4:30am if you venture out to get supplies you will be gone until those hours so prepare accordingly with an already prepared meal and the appropriate clothing.....do your business but hunker down and only move between those hours. Discipline is the key to safety and keep noise to a minimum
Hey mate I’ve really enjoyed this video, there was a lot of awesome ideas that I can see you have thought out very well. Sadly I live in NZ and the rules around firearms and incapacitating devices ie pepper gel/spray are very strict so there no chance I could comfortably own any of those items, even carrying a knife can be illegal unless you have good reasons too, thanks again for this video and keep up the good work bro 🤙
Most people romanticize fights, when in a reality, a good scrap will hurt one's hands. Great idea on gloves, protect hands to keep pushing after throwing hands.
Bro, I JUST found your channel this week. We are kindred spirits and around the corner from eachother! What's your pobox? I got some cigars I can send your way. I'm a cav guy so cigars and whisky were my thing but I'll add some crayons to win you over to my team 😉.
Well done my friend. Thanku for sharing ur thots on this often overlooked topic ( that applies to the majority of Americans IMO ). Very well packed fight bag too. I like that u have at least 3 levels of protection to address various levels of threat. Keep up the great work. We need guys & gals like yourself to help us get better prepared in a very practical sense. 👍👍
The boots aren’t glamourous but they are broken in for you specifically. Well thought out and anything you might not have thought of will be minor and you’ll improvise a solution. Keep moving is key and I think you have your bases covered. I thought you were going to wear it like a traditional backpack but having it up front definite allows ease of access.
Nice kit, only a couple things I’d add would be a little bit more ammo, an extra TQ, a trash bag, and a map of all of Texas. As a fellow Texas we have a big state if you get caught out of Dallas you can take backroads via detailed state map to get back to Dallas. Maybe even one set of spare batteries for the flashlight and your phone.
How does one person stay ready with multiple bags and setups from day to day? I feel like the answer is to be mindful of where/when each bag may be needed and have them already packed and stored in appropriate areas. That's my guess though. How would you recommend I utilize multiple themes/setups all at the same time?
The one thing that I was thinking that most people don’t have in that type of kit and I was going to say some thing if you hadn’t mentioned it was bolt cutters, because if you were in a situation where you were cornered, and somebody was after you and you were in an area where the reason you were cornered, was because of fencing, if you had some small bolt cutters with you, you could cut through the fencing, super fast and get out if for some reason you couldn’t jump over it. Obviously, it’s one of those things that probably would never use but if you want a comprehensive kit, it would probably be a good thing to have. And you could also use them as a bludgeoning device if you had to in a fight. The mini bolt cutters from Knipex or some thing I’ve been wanting to get. There’s just so many things to buy so it’s one of those things that it’s hard to get yourself to buy it if you think you’re probably never going to use it. But bolt cutters could come in handy anyways a few times in life if you’re not in an industry where you need such a thing every day.
I was trained too stop and search anyone carrying any type of bag period. Its better to go slick or appear to have nothing than to have a big bag on your back because all of this gear will be considered contraband or war fighting gear and will be seized and you will be detained. Rely heavily on pre - positioned gear or caches . Be invisible everywhere you go, stay small,fast , light, and mobile. Get yourself fit and in good shape. Get yourself a bomb proof shelter system against the elements dress for cold even if your in warm climate. Dress in layers of clothing with a wind and water proof layer.

Very cool. Will definitely set one up.
Enjoyed this video. Smooth clean presentation. Gave me some things to think about. I subscribed, and thank you for your service.
Second time I've seen that Grayl bottle, definitely adding it to my shortlist. I like that Gerber knife and its lashing holes >_> I have a sillcock key with 4 square sizes to get at water on buildings. Your tool there has 2 square sizes and so I'm curious if those are "enough for most situations" to make having the electrical/gas worth it (shutting off gas could definitely be important!)
Legit setup - subbed and following and God bless America 🇺🇸
great vid
A good way of cutting through fencing would be facing pliers. If you are thinking of cutting through bolt locks. You can do it with that prybar.
Wow, that is a well thought out bag/load.
Thanks for all the tips, great info on purpose and gear. Time to update my bag. Stay safe, stay well.
Thanks for checking it out
Hi, nice bag setup, how about a 6x8 camo green or green canvas tarp, bank line, inflatable pillow and breathable sleeping bag like a green SOL escape bivy? Instead of a Mylar sheet, You could use it in the recovery stage with your perimeter alarms. Maybe add some Comms? Ie: Long range Two way FRS radios like GOCOM G600 or Midland - T10 X-TALKER, 22 Walkie Talkies one left at the destination with the wife or a handheld CB like a Cobra HH50WXST would be nice to see.
Not bad ideas. Just from my previous life, less seems to be more when keeping a small footprint.
Love the concept, very well thought out. New subscriber 😁
So well thought out....great content! New fan here!
Really nice video mate very practical and low key cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thank you for your service... keep the content coming...
So glad I found your channel. Exactly what I was looking for.
Nice presentation and thank you for your service sir!
556 will defeat that armor but great video love the fight kit awesome!
Better with a ceramic
If you want to shed some weight without sacrificing protection, and for only a little more green, I would trade out the Spartan panel for a Safe Life Defense panel. Same IIIA+ protection, in 11x14" but at a fraction of the weight (1.3 lbs vs 8.1 lbs). Just a thought. Love the setup my dude!
Thanks much
Looks good, gave me some things I may want to add to my bag.
Been watching these urban bag/Go bag type videos for awhile to get ideas for my bag and this is hands down the best video I have found. Smart setup, great ideas. Good content, Marine-X.
Thanks much
Great Vid young blood. Glad to see another brother getting prepared!!
Thanks brother
I have a question, I also carry plates in my backpacks, but I just recently got a plate carrier and wanted to ask, do you own a Plate carrier? If so could you one day do a video of your load out. There’s so many mollee webbing on mine I’m not sure what to place on it or how to make a good set up, other than attaching a small med pack.
I may do that. First thing to start off with is duct taping the shoulders. Join my discord, we can discuss more
Lmao, the cosplay rambos coming in.
Just stumbled across this video and your channel. I normally hit these quick and move on within a few minutes but watched yours all the way through. New subscriber here!
One of the best bags I’ve seen on TH-cam!
Great info with lots of detail. I've just subscribed
🇺🇸 Well thought out kit 🇺🇸
I'm using the 5.11 Rush 24 v2.0 and the Fenix LD22 v2.0. Great video! I think NOW is the time to start gearing up.
Also, don't forget about backup food. You'll more likely suffer from hunger and thirst before you will against bodily injury.
One of the most useful gear load out videos I have seen. All of the gear is useful, no gmmcky useless junk. I have added lock picks and a portable door locking device to mine so, if I’m in a room no one with a key can get in easily. Your presentation was top notch. I was thinking all he needs is an armor plate and two seconds later you pull one out. LOL. Excellent video thanks.
Thanks much. I appreciate that. Hopefully I have you as a member of the battalion.
I like how the difference between tacticool and grey, is a little tiny logo. I think that about sums up the whole thing.
I'll have to agree with most. Great informational video. Also new here. Gives me great ideas for my 5.11 buyout/urban bag. You have gotten a new subscriber. Definitely looking forward to more videos.
Recently found out about channel, love your content, hope you keep up the good work!
Hi
New UK member to your channel playing catch-up.
I found this video very informative, with a few heads-up ideas I'd not considered, thankyou.
The "fight" aspect of your presentation will prove challenging in countries like the UK where even possession of pepper spray can land you in trouble with the Old-Bill; so here we have to be more, "imaginative"
Any tips welcome?...
Bug out bag
Get home bag
Car bag
EDC bag
EFR bag
So many scenario permutations...
I'm at work and need to get home ASAP SHTF time, but my EFR bag is elsewhere; all I have is the bag that's with me, it's a jack of all trades master of none crossover covering all the afore-mentioned acronyms....
That's "my" personal EDC bag challenge.
But your EFR bag ticks a lot of boxes in this regard.
Side note... My hiking bag has easily morfed into a 110 litre survival bag just in case Putin goes completely bonkers and turns Londonigrad into a car park for his besties...
Keep up the good work, Sir.

Glad I subscribed. Keep it up.
I'm not into all the Mall Ninja gear (especially when it's not earth-tone in color), but in my case, traveling to various events as a preparedness gear retailer, my entire vehicle is basically one giant get-home vehicle. Ironically, for my own personal contingency pack, I use a Marine Corps surplus parasitic / sustainment bag (from their previous ruck sack system). It's just one big pouch with a flat compartment in it with a separate hydration pouch, but they're indestructible. I have several of them, since the cheapest price I paid for them was $15.00.
I like those little tripwire alarms, for securing a mobile perimeter. Kevlar thread is a good thing.
An extremely well put together kit, even if it is by a Marine 😂only kidding, I was a Corpsman…by the way, we lost your shot record. The one thing I didn’t see but what about stuffing an extra pair of socks in your shoes? This was an extremely well thought out pack and you did an excellent job of explaining everything. I really appreciate what you’re doing and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Semper Fi.
Thanks for your service brother....And for your video as well......
My only focus will be on your pepper spray: I have used Sabre, that exact spray you are carrying, in actual defensive situations. I swear by it. And will not carry any other brand. Side note.....it works on dogs too! Personal experience! But, I do carry a canister of dog stop spray. Redundancy is key.
Having the armor plate inside the bag is a good option. Just make sure the plate is riding as high in the bag as possible. If it is sunk to the bottom, it wont be much protection where it is most needed.
Great system. People think even in WROL that they will not be some law enforcement and that you can just walk around with an AR in your hands. Your system allows some one to use just the right amont of escalation to complete your mission. Well thought out. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks much. That's the goal
Good video very informative , I have the KNipex 8inch high leverage bolt cutter it’s pretty good, a little pricey but what’s cost when your life is depending on it . Appreciate you and the knowledge you share .
Great video I love seeing others gear and how they have it set up looks like you have purpose to everything you put in. Subscribing!
Great video. Had to say I love that shirt. New subscriber from 2 or 3 days ago and I’ve already binged about half dozen of your videos. When I get more free time, I’ll keep watching.
The main thing is to get home in one piece and unscathed.
Close your eyes and listen to his voice. The most natural Cleveland Brown voice I've ever heard.
That's absolutely hilarious!
Please explain to me why so many bags (get home bag, EDC bag, truck bag, bug out bag, fighting bag) seems a bit unnecessary and redundant. I feel like unless there is a natural disaster you have more security and provisions at home. And even then it would be hard to defend by yourself. So you have one clear objective get home safe
Why a steel plate for armor. It’s not NIJ certified being steel armor can’t be certified do to the different Rockwell hardness levels.
2-if you come across anyone with a rifle that shoots 5.56 out of a 20inch or longer barrel it’s going to penetrate 9 out of 10 times.
3- if that “armor” is penetrated are you ready to peel that shredded steel out of your wound?
Travel only at night between 2am - 4:30am if you venture out to get supplies you will be gone until those hours so prepare accordingly with an already prepared meal and the appropriate clothing.....do your business but hunker down and only move between those hours.
Discipline is the key to safety and keep noise to a minimum
Hey mate I’ve really enjoyed this video, there was a lot of awesome ideas that I can see you have thought out very well. Sadly I live in NZ and the rules around firearms and incapacitating devices ie pepper gel/spray are very strict so there no chance I could comfortably own any of those items, even carrying a knife can be illegal unless you have good reasons too, thanks again for this video and keep up the good work bro 🤙
Most people romanticize fights, when in a reality, a good scrap will hurt one's hands. Great idea on gloves, protect hands to keep pushing after throwing hands.
Bro, I JUST found your channel this week. We are kindred spirits and around the corner from eachother! What's your pobox? I got some cigars I can send your way. I'm a cav guy so cigars and whisky were my thing but I'll add some crayons to win you over to my team 😉.
Well done my friend. Thanku for sharing ur thots on this often overlooked topic ( that applies to the majority of Americans IMO ). Very well packed fight bag too. I like that u have at least 3 levels of protection to address various levels of threat. Keep up the great work. We need guys & gals like yourself to help us get better prepared in a very practical sense. 👍👍
I’m know I’m late this is a fantastic video and your load out is great! I’m not a huge fan of my pistol in the bag though.
The boots aren’t glamourous but they are broken in for you specifically. Well thought out and anything you might not have thought of will be minor and you’ll improvise a solution. Keep moving is key and I think you have your bases covered. I thought you were going to wear it like a traditional backpack but having it up front definite allows ease of access.
Nice kit, only a couple things I’d add would be a little bit more ammo, an extra TQ, a trash bag, and a map of all of Texas. As a fellow Texas we have a big state if you get caught out of Dallas you can take backroads via detailed state map to get back to Dallas. Maybe even one set of spare batteries for the flashlight and your phone.
How does one person stay ready with multiple bags and setups from day to day? I feel like the answer is to be mindful of where/when each bag may be needed and have them already packed and stored in appropriate areas. That's my guess though. How would you recommend I utilize multiple themes/setups all at the same time?
The one thing that I was thinking that most people don’t have in that type of kit and I was going to say some thing if you hadn’t mentioned it was bolt cutters, because if you were in a situation where you were cornered, and somebody was after you and you were in an area where the reason you were cornered, was because of fencing, if you had some small bolt cutters with you, you could cut through the fencing, super fast and get out if for some reason you couldn’t jump over it. Obviously, it’s one of those things that probably would never use but if you want a comprehensive kit, it would probably be a good thing to have. And you could also use them as a bludgeoning device if you had to in a fight. The mini bolt cutters from Knipex or some thing I’ve been wanting to get. There’s just so many things to buy so it’s one of those things that it’s hard to get yourself to buy it if you think you’re probably never going to use it. But bolt cutters could come in handy anyways a few times in life if you’re not in an industry where you need such a thing every day.
I was trained too stop and search anyone carrying any type of bag period. Its better to go slick or appear to have nothing than to have a big bag on your back because all of this gear will be considered contraband or war fighting gear and will be seized and you will be detained.
Rely heavily on pre - positioned gear or caches .
Be invisible everywhere you go, stay small,fast , light, and mobile.
Get yourself fit and in good shape.
Get yourself a bomb proof shelter system against the elements dress for cold even if your in warm climate.
Dress in layers of clothing with a wind and water proof layer.
Better off getting a GoRuck vs 511
Fire kit, P38?
