If you think about it any backpacker is a long term survivalist. To hike a trail for a extended time you have to have everything. The variable in both situations is the resupply or supply of your food. A real survival situation I would want 2 additional items , bow and arrows along with fishing gear. Actually a lot of the time I include the fishing gear when backpacking. Nothing better then camping by water and having fresh fish for a meal or meals.
A rat trap or two works well too
My. Ag has fishing gear and there is more cached at my bugout location and a slingshot with 1/2" ball bearings for squirrel and blackbirds along wiyh snares.
Ya I’m a backpacker too I got videos of what I do, camping, foraging, getting water, exploring, boom sticks haha
First, thank you for the video! I do a lot of wild camping, sometimes a over night, sometimes 3-4 days. Your bag load out is very similar to what I use. I have a collapsible fishing pole. (98% of the time I'm next to the water) I also rock a hammock set up, a little bulky I know, but to me the extra coverage from the tarp is nice when nature doesn't want to work with you. Only thing I'm lacking atm is a side arm.
@little drane I do have food cached on my bugout location. I do have the ability to catch ...clean ...and cook my food. Im in south central Louisiana ......there is never a food shortage here.
I like that you are useing a hiking backpack. Alot of people pick a cool looking bag or a bag with alot molle. Hiking bags a build for long hikes with alot of stuff in them. I have the Teton 55l and it works great.
Get us army bug juice 100%deet plus regular. Dryer sheets . Put one in you collar with half hanging out on your neck it keeps knats away. Rub it on hands and sleeves to keep black flys and knats away. I use it fishing and it works.
I like the non tachtical look as it's less likely to draw attention. I think by adding flex seal to the bottom of the pack and the underside of the lid will help as those places wear more and come in contact with moisture more often.
Tactical bags are everywhere, they won't draw anymore attention than any other bag, especially if those looking have nothing. A grocery bag will draw attention.
have 35+ years hiking camping . 4-5 day trips . never had use for bolt cutters axe/hatchet machete . head set for hearing protection bulky . i carry a fishing kit . need tent stakes 3 to 5 drink packets to help w energy
Long term survival is greatly enhanced by having several BOL spots with caches of food, tools, clothing and heavy bulky items . What direction will you need to head out in, you don’t know so be prepared to head in any direction.
Im subbed. I have a long term bag setup. I just finished 61 days out with the bag. It was great. It weighs 19.8 lbs. I have worked in Beauumont Texas for 31 years then came back to south central Louisiana( Cajun country) where I practice with my equipment once a week. Ive been in 18 hurricanes including Ike and Rita in Texas. Took a month and a half for me to get power back. This blows the 72 hour kit out of the water. Im an ex Army Ranger with 31 years of survival and self defense experience. I still love it. I still make military hikes. Im 64 years old. The best decision you can make is the one that will keep you alive..... Charles
You should go on that show, Naked and Afraid.
😊
@little drane I dont keep track of calories. I eat what I want. I dont go to the doctor because I take vitimins for a horse. If I get sick I take horse antibiotic . Have not been to a doctor in 31 years. Im on the last few years of my life
......if a person cant eat and enjoy it....whats the usr? We have people here that eat healthy and work out everyday and drop dead. Im not going to be one of those. Sorry if I offended you.
This video should be the basis for anyone starting out building a kit. The items and philosophy of use he has chosen are spot on. If anyone had this exact kit they would be set.
Definitely a bag geared for warmer climate, like Texas. The further north you are, more insulation for clothes, ground, & sleeping bag are required. So, pack a bag for your climate & season. I have two packs. One I call my homeless pack for warmer climate and the other for Spring/Fall backpacking in cooler weather (down to 20F). I avoid winter weather but for an extra 10-15 pounds insulation, boots, & ice cleats, I could handle down to 0F.
Think about using a hammock with built-in bug net add a tarp and off you go.
Enjoy your videos. Don't forget any meds you may need and food for your trip.
Stay safe .
I opt for conibear traps over snare wire. You get multiple uses out them as opposed to snares. It's extra weight. But well worth it in my opinion.
Awesome set up. Very much like mine. Same bag too.
I recently watched your .22 conversion kit video for training and I have entertained the idea for my own training for some time. Now with this idea of a long term survival bag addition it really has put me over on purchasing one . Thanks for that
Keep up the good work .
Awesome! Glad to help. Thanks for watching!
@@Mr.NobodyActual you’re putting together some great content. Super detailed. What branch were you in?
@@kurtiscommerce3999 I did not serve.
@@Mr.NobodyActual could have fooled me. Keep killing it brotha
Very complete. Nicely done. I would add a whistle for signaling. Thanks for sharing.
You need small flares. 5 min flares will signal and start a fire 🔥
Maybe think about perimeter alarms they are super cheap and really loud can set em up all around camp
Bring about 3 feet of 550 cord with the chemlights. You tie the cord to the chemlight and spin it around by the rope and you have a massive circular light that people can see for miles.
Great video. Thanks for info. Love the way you thought everything through. I'm going through this and it's not easy. You tell people to prepare for the worse and they think your crazy. Im shocked how blind they are. Bless you.
OMG mosquito netting in a Crown Royal bag! These bags can be used for anything!😁🙂
Also, if you have a military poncho, you NEED to match it up with a Woobie.👍
I am a big proponent in a modular system over a single large bag. For example in my short term bag I have a hammock and tarp setup up for 1-7 day hikes and it comes in at 12 pounds. That weight includes a 10" kukri that I can use as a knife/hand hatchet/draw knife and a frogg poncho.
I would drop the hammock and frogg for a polish lavvu canvas half and a wool blanket for a long term trip for a total of 18 pounds. That not only gives me a lean to I could turn into a super shelter with the addition of a plastic painters drop cloth but also ankle length rain gear and a winter coat combining it with the wool blanket.
With the addition of my 8 pound water bottle bag(including water) and filter system and a folding saw (12" 9" 6" wood blades and a 6" metal blade) along with a Russian heavy duty multi tool. I have long term water covered for a total of 26 pounds.
The hiking belt has sos emergency food bars (one of the heavier items) and a twig stove to cook with. All this so far is carried on a harness belt and I have yet to add a pack. If I did I would use a second wool blanket as a soft pack to carry additional clothing and food(vacuum sealed of course) to attach to the hiking belt.
What I'm trying to get to in my overly verbose way is requardless if it is a pack system or belt system it should be modular to easily reconfigure to many conditions you might face for your own terrain and weather. I believe that give you a much better chance of survival over one large bucket style pack.

My greatest challenge for long-term survival packing is reconciling seasonal extremes in the mountainous/high desert environment I live in. I more-or-less have two separate backs at this time, one geared towards seriously cold, the other towards heat. It's impractical and probably impossible for me to grab both on the fly for really long-term. So I need to figure out some kind of compromise. Nice tip on including a gun cleaning kit. I try to include all that in or on the rifle in an ammo pouch on the butt. And nice tip on cards to pass the time. I have tucked away in my packs a few small classic paper backs that are on my reading list but will have to wait until SHTF....
I was just out in the mountains camping
This is almost exactly what I used when hiking the lone Star trail. Except I used a hammock sleep system.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I’m hoping to stay home, but have some gear if we have to leave.
Plan on going to the river in the woods behind our house.
Don’t want to travel, to exhausting. Praying we stay home and hold off home invaders 😔
GDay from Aus. Love your load out videos. Excellent advice. Keep ‘em comin.
finally someone has a gun cleaning kit
A great bag. It would be nice if you could provide links per item with your contents. In particular, I'm looking for a handheld solar charger. Solar Monkey is decent, but the one in your bag is of interest to me. Thanks for your review. Long live the Republic of Texas!
Brother Awesome kit but you have must have a food stash or bug out location or something calling this long term? I got rid of bolt cutters and bought lock smith pick kit and harbor freight Doyle 8" fence cutters $9 and got cold steel throwing shovel man did I save some weight! Best Regards and Keep Safe!
Add a pair of fence pliers also the same weight as side cutting lineman pliers.
Thank you for this informative overview. Plenty of food for thought. Many great ideas and strong rationales.

"Oh Ryan", not ohreeon man. good episode ty.
Really good set up. I have a very similar design but differ on few things. I have just add water expandable tp/wipe tablets, can of pepper spray for animals or humans obviously, and would still try to keep the wool blanket inside bag and dry if possible. Dry and warm is still better than wet and warm if you happen drop your bag in a puddle or worse.
Thanks for the input and for watching!
Will a factory 10/22 buttstock fit through those pocket pass thru's ?
Thoughtful video, thanks for sharing n' God bless brother
Mt man here 👍👍
Like the video my brother to be honest your sit up for your bag is a very good idea now you got me thinking big time and sorry i haven't been on here much lately i been doing alot of things and thinking about things but i want to thank you for the idea you giving now i know what i thinking about doing with my bag
I almost got the Teton bag but went with the Mardingtop 75 L. Teton seems pretty robust though.
Good video as always brother stay safe out there keep up with the good work
Really liking the cook set. Good stuff mate 👍
I would go to a collapsing bow instead of a fire arm. You can always make arrows out of stick stone and feathers just as the native did. Same go's for the string for the recurve collapsing bow. The only thing you are missing just like every one else that dose their version of a long term or inch bag. Atleast you mentioned socks but the one thing you are missing is what the socks go in. BOOTS. One pair of boots. Sooner or later the ones on your feet will get damaged or the sole wares out. If its just a long term camp . Well what do you need a gun for? Soooo. Boots if on the long hike for life. If you had to bug out. If you truly are ready for the worst. You need boots and gators to protect your laces. But extra boots is most imperative. Its not like the movies. Your not going to find a new pair on a dead guy. And you won't last with out them. Just like when you run out of ammo and can't buy any because there are no store's. So good boots can lead you away from a bad situation. And yes i have guns. In a survival situation i would sooner have boots on my feet and in my pack. Insulted boots. And i would ditch the gun and go to a bow. Less wait and silent hunting.
ditch the tomahawk for an actual hatchet
Your bag is more appropriate for a repairman's job. A Leatherman is all you need. What you DO need, is FOOD FOOD FOOD! The sleeping bag is good, but TOO MANY GAGETS!!!
I pray to the lord that I will meet like minded people if I ever have to bug out to the wilderness because I may have stuff they don't have and they will probably have stuff I don't have it will take me more than one of us to survive that's for sure
I didn't see any fishing line n hooks
Nice video, wish you could have went over the actual load out of the bag.. keep them coming..
This is the actual contents of the bag. Thanks for watch8ng!
Just what are you preparing for? No snark intended. I'd like to know what possible situation would require all that gear. Thanks!!
In the case of vehicles down such as an emp, my family and I would have to make it 80 miles to our bug out location on foot. I want to be able to carry as much as possible to our location. Thanks for watching!
An AR pistol, chambered in .223/5.56 with a 7-10 inch barrel and suppressor, might be a good alternative to carrying just a .22 LR rifle.
And 10 times as expensive lol
Pretty spot on I’d say
You just got me Tia subscribe to your channel really cool video and I like the fact that you mentioned a 22 caliber
What a coincidence. I just repacked mine and my family’s last night
I would like to see how you load the gear in your bag.
With this bag it's not too difficult. Thanks for watching!
wait wait, could you go through actually packing the bag? I have the same bag with half the stuff you have and it barely fits, how have you managed to pack so much in there?
Sure man, I've been asked that alot lol it really wasn't too hard just takes some time and patience lol
Great video, thank you. Just one little unimportant thing, I don't think 'redundancy' is the right word for what you mean, but great video anyway !
I had to get an 88 ltr Bergen, as my 65ltr was far too small, I literally couldn't get everything in. I can now however it weighs, well its really heavy !!!! So I am quite surprised by the small amount of kit you feel you can get by with. I hope you're not near any big city in the USA, as they will ALL be targeted by Russia, no exceptions. If you're caught in a city when a nuke falls on it, all that electrical kit will become useless, and in fact all the plastic will literally melt if you are in a 20 mile radius of ground Zero, sadly including you !!!!. So good luck, take care and stay as safe as possible.
if a city is hit with a hydrogen bomb, pretty much anything within a 35 mile blast radius will be toast.
@@deepsea5107 20 definitely, 35 is debatable, as so many other things come into play at that range. The initial yield of the bomb, the prevailing winds and speed, the topography of where you live and a lot more. Tbh,,,there are so many unknowns, as fortunately no one has had to endure the reality of a full blown Nuclear War. The USA being the only country ever having used a Nuclear Bomb on civilians. Of course if our politicians get their way we will soon be seeing it, and know the answer to all these perplexing questions. Sadly they will have a cosy bunker to run into, we will die in unimaginable horror. So the best thing for all ,is everyone SAY NO TO WAR ❗️☮️
@@stephenclarke3990 I concur: SAY NO TO WAR. I'd rather not learn, first hand, the actual blast damage radius of a tactical or strategic nuke.
@@deepsea5107 I completely agree. Stay safe. ☮️
Nice kit
Good info keep them coming Brother. T-man
That's my recce pack lol...
Dude this thing is way too heavy. Just the pack weighs 5.25lbs. that is about 1/4 of the weight. Of my entire long-term 4 season I.N.C.H. pack.
I HAD TO PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO IT ! But my pack weight is about 22lbs. That includes my fishing pole , trapping gear & more. You seriously need to look into lighting up this pack. YOU'RE GOING TO WISH YOU DID !
Awesome vid!
I put seeds for growing food in mine
What's that mess kit?
Can't get a gun I'm in stupid England we not aloud them....
Goid stuff
👍🏻
How often do you ruck with your gear?
A couple of times a month

Please
No one is living in the woods, build a real bag.
Want a REALISTIC look at what long term buyout looks like
Watch TV, it’s happening in Ukraine RIGHT NOW.
