I didn't watch but the first minute or two because you have a full size pack. That says enough for me. The trend is minimal packs. Not for me. I still use my military long range patrol pack. It's a beast! Like you, I train with mine regularly. That is non negotiable. Thanks for the video. And for being a member of the big pack brigade!!!
If you do not have a bug out location and can not "bug in" a large bag is ideal. If its a personal/local event you may end up in a friends house or a hotel. Worst case it is a regional shtf and now you are a premium refugee.
A large backpack or a combinarion of a mid-size backpack plus a duffel bag with wheels can be ideal
@@VictorGarciaR appreciate the options you've named and likely best ways to take whatcha need depending on where you go
wow , thats a bag full of Goodies enjoy the video thank you .
I have a dual bag setup, bag 1 is my edc mostly for my lunch and just stuff I want on hand not necessarily emergency stuff. But in it I also have emergency supplies: poncho/shelter, emergency bivvy, mora fixed blade knife, leatherman wave, 4 types of tape on a mini copper spool (electric, gorrilla, double sided, and self sealing silicone tape) 12 pack of TP tabs, water filter, platypus water bottle, 2 1lt smart waters, mini SW/am/fm radio, big/medium/small, and headlight flashlights, comprehensive first aid kit with trauma gear, small pocket tarp, 3-4 sticks of jerky, 3 Lara bars, 2 millennium food bars, compact 10w solar panel, 20000mha battery bank, gum sized mini PC with mini monitor and 2tb of storage with all my vital documents, photos, music, movies, books, and other digital data in a emp proof envelope, small bag of cordage hanks, lock pick kit, Apple Watch charger, spare batteries, dry bags for everything in the bag, gas mask w/goggles, bandannas, gloves, change of socks/underwear, note pad and pens/marker, mini sharpener for blades, silicon cloth, mini pistol, mini survival tin with usual mini survival items, wool beenie, spare glasses, small pack of steel wire, couple mini bics, bare bones personal hygiene kit, maybe a few other things I can’t recall off the top of my head, but the total weight of that bag is 21lbs with 2ltr of water. Then if I go more then 10-20miles from home I’ll also toss in my augment kit for longer road travel and or outdoor gear in that bag I have a heavy wool blanket, large lightweight tarp, hammock with bugnet, mini camp cooking pot and stove, 5days worth of food, folding saw, more cordage, better heavy duty bush crafting knife, sewing kit, gear aid patches, Swiss army style wood carving jack knife, warm clothes, couple more collapsible water bottles a second 10w solar panel, expanded medical kit, compass, map, and small binoculars. When combined into the augmented bag discarding the first and some non essential equipment, the weight is 43lbs with 2ltr of water. Though the food and water are a considerable weight so this can vary depending on how stocked I am at any point. Food water and shelter are probably the most important items and are the majority of the weight and bulk of the kit, if you get out and use your gear and discard stuff you end up not needing you’ll quickly find a lot of it doesn’t merit it’s weight, and a lot of things can play double duty, or find smaller light versions of tools you used before.
Minnesota is bad mosquitoe too. One hundred percent deet helps but permeathren sprayed on cloths boots pack shelter dose work.
Nice presentation. I will agree with many other commenters. Bugging out is bare bones. Three days. Running. Hiding. Laying low. Getting out of a city once all the looting and carnage has died down OR just getting to high ground after a disaster. You've got way too many luxury items here. You've built a 70lb apocalypse pack. Keep stripping it down until you are at 35lbs Max. Start with losing two or your three pairs of pants. Keep it up.
To each is their own, everyone is different. At the end of the day, it comes down to your capabilities, preference, physical capabilities and ending goal.
I compare it to the whole
Traditional backpacking vs Ultra light backpacking
Great video. Super cool stuff!
I have been building and rebuilding my bug out bag for 40 years now . I think I got it right for me now .
I hope you will do that markhor 45 review with a more trimmed loadout.
Thanks for the vid🤙
Thank you for all your hard work! I dint recall a cook set? Very thorough and thoughtful. An excellent review.
You better hope that you never have to bug out with that monster pack.
None of us want to but will if we have to.
I don't understand what is wrong
With this pack.
Cool! Thanks! I use a Mystery Ranch Blackjack 80 that probably weighs 50 Lbs just for me but it has a Litefighter 1 tent strapped to it.
Bags are ever evolving depending on current needs. Good job good to have plenty of gear. Plus I like seeing the different types of gear out there that I may have missed while studying gear.
The guy is just starting out. Let’s cut him some slack on the delivery.
That said, the pack is WAY TO HEAVY. You’re going to need to lighten this up.
Great that you train with it, but long term you’ll just injure yourself trying to carry this for long periods of time.
Perhaps if you have a plan, I.e. destination, you can store/hide supplies along the route?
Just an idea.
Core sample well said!
great video
i run the same pack, the solar panel fits great in the front pouch of the G1 and allows for quick deployment when hiking (just pull it out and clip in onto the outside of the pack, may as well make the best use of the sun if its out)
There’s so much to unpack here.
The best Bugout bag is the one you built and rebuilt 12 times. No way around this math.
12 times built and rebuilt gets expensive at some point but there's no way around it
Good one. Very true....... 👍 Just like fine wine, a "Sustainment pack" should be developed and nurtured to perfection over time. While I would like to put an even finer point to your already fine remark: No matter how good a pack has been set up, it does no good if it has not been repeatedly put to the test over time. The actual bag and all of the gear in it must be used under the conditions you will operate in when things go belly up.
I have Leatherman multi tools and I carry channel lock pliers too
If you and your wife get split up somehow, is she carrying a smaller version of provisions? Food, med, water, shelter? Also when together, is she carrying freeze dried food and other lightweight items? I am building bags for everyone dependent upon age, weight, health and their particular needs. Everyone will have the same safety items as I see it so far.
well you're running Eberlestock so I immediately assess that you have rucked out before or distance hiked. If you had Kelty, Mystery Ranch, or osprey I would assess the same thing. Best in the biz for comfort
in australia, still working on getting items for our bags.
I like your hatchet, that's a cool present
You might check out Refuge Medical for their classes--stop the billed, trauma, etc.
Nice !! Great video and super helpful
Brother I am impressed by the amount of thought, time & especially money invested but there are 2 concerns that are pretty serious:
FOOD. Food is something we need at least 2x per day. A pack that large should be 70% food.
The other concern is a two-fer: that pack has got to be coming in at closer to 75 pounds. I’ve been backpacking for decades and that’s a monster’s monster. Solution? I recommend caching supplies at your ultimate destination and if necessary bury a few 60 mik mortar cans along the way. Part 2 of the two-fer is unless you GOOD on day 1 that pack is exactly what criminals are going to be looking for because they know that the coyote brown/ MOLLE/ tactical gear is most likely to contain expensive guns, comms, optics & tools. I’d throw a 50 gallon Hefty bag over the whole rig. But especially if traveling with wife and kid(s) get down into the 50L range, something civvy looking (navy blue or gray and no MOLLE) and secure the tactical gear at your destination. You seem like a good dude. And a guy who cares about his family. Don’t want you getting ….not making it to safety.
I dig it, we share many of your items. My knives loadout is the Condor HD Kukri too, mora companion and whatever Leatherman multitool EDC. The msk is nice but wouldn't carry both mains. The wife has a mostly empty bag to share that load and your kid too? You gotta drop 20lbs even if yo think its cake it won't be unless you're just a day hike to destination. I would think you fo 40, Wife 30, kid depending 3-10 lbs. Young kids need goals and distractions plan on that one of you will be carrying your kid on long treks at least once a day thinking under 5yrs, so wife need that lighter load. Even if you re strong and hike all the days in an emergency SOMETHING will go wrong so WATER, SHELTER, FOOD FIE then shed from there. I'm old and busted at this point so my loadout is sub 30 lbs for get home kit and I keep my kit in a tote with clothes boots and hip belted 40ltr pack. I outfit from the vehicle at that point leaving non specialized gear behind after eating and drinking my fill. You can bring it all but get a solid plan for discarding gear too. In my experience young kids need bug netting and like responsibilities like carrying non essential gear an umbrella for instance. Maps are fun too see www.natgeomaps.com/trail-maps/pdf-quads get your kid a compass and map in a ziplock to follow along and perhaps learn. Pace beads can be distracting too. Honestly I started with kitchen sink bag back when I could and the Gucci gear but now it's how far, how long and hows the climate then minimalist gear. If your just 10 miles to goal yeah ironman the trip but kids really wildcard the F outta plans. Hammock's are awesome bugs are not perhaps a dome tent for all would optimise your family load out? Anyhow at near 60 I've done the things and grew up kids and been indestructible, miss those days but learned some tricks. Keep up the project you got a sub.
Always been told that your pack never should weight more than one third of your body weight... As my backpack was 70 pounds i found the trick... i gained weight.. i'm now 275 so it should be good up to 90 pounds of load.. i now plan to be able to go as far as several hundred meters before i probably die on my back like a turtle in the middle of the street...
I never thought of that!
I didn’t really notice a stove and cook set, or really any water containers.
If it's for true survival situation, following hunting season regs would be of least concerns.
0:13 where’re ya bugging out? I’m amazed at how many people per year describe their go bag and yet haven’t thought 10 seconds about which direction they’re pointing their feet or steering wheel
Frame pack for me, anytime I go 30-40 lbs or more
I’m here just cause you don’t see many using the skycrane. Been running the same pack for 6 or so years and curious to see how someone else’s loads it out cause as much room as they have it takes a long time tying to figure out how to layer the load properly in them.
I pack mine similar to a point.. it’s extremely difficult to do.. but the frame pack is for all the basic gear, shelter, food, ect.. all the base camp tyoe gear.. the little brother pack is all the essential life and clothing water fire stuff.. much the same way you would pack a basic mil ruck where you’re assaulted pack would go up top inside the pack only this goes inside.. makes it a bit of a pain tbh cause you want all that inside space to pack the light weights stuff in the bottom and heavy stuff up top.. 6 years if this pack and I’ve yet to get it to carry as well as a basic ruck.. but I love the versatility of if to break it down from a ruck to a 3 day pack to a basic day pack with the hood that detaches.. I’ve got the external attachment as well for mine that I use for food.. I went with the 3000cube one for family size food packing but the 1500cub one would be much more practical to use.. once I set camp I simply detach and hang that bag from a tree with cord and that way the rest of the system is still intact and ready to roll if need be..
I wish the internal pockets on the frame were more like the external saddles and I wish they allowed more space cause once full it’s not easy to get the frame to lock up around the j1.. for weight carrying it would make a lot more sense to make the internals bigger and externals smaller to get the weight more centered.. but then again this system was designed for a very specific mil spec niche vs being overly all around versatile..
For what it’s worth I’ve had mine with the extra 3000 cube external bag loaded up to 160lbs before.. still Carry’s well enough although an Alice would be more comfortable for sure.. just hard to get it on and off once you hit about 80lbs without a good elevated seating position so you can still get up with it..
Really my biggest complaint is that stupid dual 1.5l blaster compartments inside the j1.. they are completely worthless to me cause a single 3l is easier to carry and more common to use.. I still use the 3l and use the netting to lock it in and the middle access point to hang it from.. but they really could’ve designed that part a lot better..
I use mine mostly when going on long excursions with the entire family cause I got to carry a lot of their crap.. outside that I find a regular 45l or 65l pack much more useful and practical for almost every possible application.. especially since most of them have pockets on the hip supports. Something vastly overlooked on this bag however I do molle in a holster and pistol for bear lion protection and that is a lot trickier to do with a standard pack and hip pad section.. I mean to anyone who’s tucked with real weight and a frames pack where you need to load carried on the hips not the shoulders something as simple as a quick access firearm or even can of bear spray is not easy to have.. the molle on this does help there..
All in all best pack ive ever seen or used but it does lack in a lot of simple areas compared to a typical ruck style pack and really isn’t ideal for most people and situations..
Great video .....very good content..... if this is meant for a bugout bag... i would like to see some metal cups for boiling water ....maybe a cook set some utensils maybe edit out some things that you have duplicates of maybe add a 4person lightweight tent for a little better quick easy shelter from outside weather conditions like rain etc..... Maybe throw in some nails and screws u could build a more petmanant shelter for long-term sustainability, just some ideas👍
That a ten pound bag, how fast can you run with it.
What is the name brand of the bag you are representing? Where did you purchase this bag? Thank you.
31:36 Does anyone know which solar battery pack that is exactly?
I gotta call foul on the food bag. There is absolutely no way that 10 or 15 Mountain House dinners will calorically sustain 2 adults and 1 child for two weeks, especially in a stressed, physically demanding situation.
Agreed, not only that it's a poor plan. It would be smarter to bury long shelf life food and supply caches along your preplanned escape routes for non-permissive situations. If the bug out situation is a permissive one and hostility isn't an issue there will be plenty of abandoned places to get food, water and supplies. The bug out bag should be way smaller and lighter than this.
You mentioned medical training... You look up Refuge Medical?
Where do you store the donkey that carries that pack for you?
No stove?
Shucks?
Did I miss your cooking items? Utensils etc?
For med training check out Patriot Nurse and take online courses she’s great and through

You'd be wasted by the end of the video. I know I need to work on my monologs. Lmao
That thing is giant. You ain't bugging out far and fast with that monstrosity, nor would you not look shady in a non permissive situation. Also, you have not considered if you're injured or killed who in the family is gonna carry that thing man??? Everyone in the family should have a small civilian looking pack that has everything the individual needs to survive until you can resupply. You need to go back to the drawing board and also consider burying food and supply caches along preplanned escape routes. In essence you're doing it wrong.
have 35+ year in the outdoors hiking camping etc . my BOB i take camping 4-6 times a year .2 to 3 days . my fix blade knife is 6 in long and its all i needed . we have 2 man tent no poles just set up with string between 2 trees and 4 guide lines w 8 stakes wife carry a 8x8 tarp string stakes for extra rain protection . for clothes we carry 1 shirt 1 pants 3 socks 3 underwear and a fleece coat . nice compass how accurate is it ? i would carry a better one have 5 topo maps of differant areas . all my years camping hiking never had a use for a hatcket . 2 solar panels really ? you can survive without all you ele devices for 3-5 days . your son instead of being on a tablet start teaching him outdoor skills . show him differant animal tracks fishing etc

Damn.......I mean.........damn thats alot bro.
When trying to survive, I would shoot the squirrel and throw all needs for licenses out of the window.
God damn son that’s a lot of shit in that bag
Frankly add a pair of boots to it and you have an inch bag.
Dude. That bag weighs more than you. You need to be able to carry it more than a couple of miles. 10 miles minimum… You will die of exhaustion
That's more of an INCH bag than a bugout bag. That's alot of crap.
I hope u will never need it ✌️
This is completely impractical. U cant move with that much weight so u either drop it all n lose it or ur a sitting duck
😂 no it’s not.. what he has is a three pack system.. what is basically a framed ruck with a large Fanny pack that makes up the hood of the frame system.. then inside is a basic 3 day assaults pack..
I’ve been using it for 6 years with additional add on 3000cube bag that goes in the outside of all this.. I’ve had it up to 160 lbs on my 165lb 5-8 frame and rucked it in forested mountains in some of the hardest terrains for a week long trip with a family of 5 two of which being small kids and my wife who has a bad back so they can’t carry much of their own gear..
It’s about packing it properly and using it and being in shape more then anything.. oh and it’s specifically designed for military use soo there is always that.. I mean out military doesn’t ruck 80 lbs and fight with it or anything 🤷♂️.
lol you belive in covid...
So I guess its my future family's load I'm carrying 🤣
