This is a small UTG Messenger Bag that I have turned into the Ultimate Small Get Home Bag. In the bag I have tried to cover all of the bases when it comes to get you home, should the need arise. I have also tried to cover most of the 10 C's to Survivability. In this bag, there is everything from shelter to cutting tools and cordage to containers. There is about two days worth of food and snacks, water filtration and purification. There is also a first-aid kit, an area map of the state I live in, several compasses and knives, and many more items that you find in this video. I have tried to keep the contents down to just enough items to get you home and nothing else.
One of the most important things I have also tried to keep in mind is the weight of the entire bag including a full container of water. Currently, the bag weighs 11.4 pounds.

I expected a redundant video with nothing interesting in such a small bag, but you actually managed to nail it.
Well played sir
Great bag and Stanley cup. Years ago, I lightened my BOB and turned it into an EDC bag. I ditched the redundancies and decided that mini emergencies happen way more often than zombie outbreaks. I now carry a lighter, knife, emergency cash, 2 small but good flashlights, mini charging options (wall/USB/lighter)for my cell, gum, telescopic pen, gum, etc. You reminded me that I need to refill my snacks pouch. Now I have extra room. Thanks for vid.
A very nice vid. Since this is a get home bag, I would suggest a couple of pair of good quality socks if you are going to be doing a lot of walking. You need to take care of your dogs and you gotta change your socks 2 or 3 times a day when walking alot.
Best wire saw explanation; I learned something new.
lol same
That is a seriously stocked, compact little survival bag. I am truly impressed with how much you fit into that bag.
Wonder if people could learn how to leave a comment to add to videos, in such a way, that they didn’t sound like total know-it-all jerks that I hope to never run into in this real world. I would like to say that if there was a emergency situation, this guy would defiantly be glad that he added several of the same things so that he could share. I would defiantly want all of my three children who might be traveling with me to have a whistle, mini knife and compass without packing several kits, that they would probably loose or forget at home anyway. Thanks for the video.
Six cutting tools, six fire starters, six tinders, six compasses... I think in a kit that small you'd be better off replacing a lot of those redundant items with new items that give you additional capabilities.
You know what? I completely agree with you! I always try to follow the "two is one, and one is none" mantra, but substituting some items makes complete sense. I am ALWAYS looking for new or different gear and am always open to suggestions! I would love to hear any suggestions you have. That is what makes all of our kits better!! Thank you for your comment!
I have the Maxpedition version of that pack (which I have a video on), which is very similar to yours. I put a pair of gloves in there, a plastic drop cloth for cover, and variations of pretty much all the other stuff you have in yours. I don't carry it, it's more of a mini bugout bag.
Roger Flatley Thanks for the suggestions! I just watched your video on your bag and I really like what I saw. Keep up the good work!!
I gotta agree. More redundancy than u need for such a small bag, but u did a nice job on it over all.
MysterPynk I appreciate your input! This is how we all make our kits better. Thanks for watching!!
That UTG pack really redefined my whole set-up. I love it, and I have enough in it to last more than 3 days.
Great vid, brother.
Thanks for the kind words and for sharing my video! Do you have a video of your UTG bag?
Terrific bag. Amazing how much it will carry, yet is compact. You have it nicely laid out. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Department of Redundancy Department APPROVED! You are on point! That is probably the closest GHB I have seen to my ideal GHB. Excellent!
Nice setup, I myself prefer the metal tent stakes because you can lay them across two logs with your fire underneath and create a grill top.
Thanks for the comment! Normally, I would agree with the metal tent pegs, but in this case... I felt that with this bag and the situations that I put it together for... I wanted to get home as quickly as possible and not spend an extra time grilling. In my full size Get Home - Bug Out Bag, I have metal stakes in it. That is going to be the next video that I put up, which will be very soon!
Great video and thank you for your time putting this together. A lot of good items, you're well prepared!
That's alot of stuff in that small bag, I like it! Very informative.
Really complete job and impressive in such a small bag....nice kit.
Nice kit, I use to live in NC and I think your bag suits the weather there.
Looks to be a great set up, my get home pack needs to be updated for sure!
Thanks for shareing
Thanks for the comment!! I hope that you found some useful information!!
I love this!!! Like the other person, I looked at the length of film and wasn't sure so I had it on in the background. Very quickly though, I was paying attention. What a great set up, goes to show that you don't need to carry a huge pack.
Couldn't agree more, it's a bag to get you home.
Thank you for taking the time to write me, My family and I love to read comments like these! It makes it all the more special to hear that someone found this video helpful and will inspire more people to be become more prepared for themselves and their families. When you look, from the smallest of storms to the largest of disasters, most of the time you will have to rely on what you know and what you have with you. You can get by with a smaller bag with the skills that you know as knowledge weights nothing!! Thanks again!!
Pretty well thought out kit, someone already mentioned the having over redundancies but overall very well thought out
So much stuff for such a little bag! Good job!
+Rangersly Thanks for watching and commenting!! I am glad that you liked the video!
Great video ! thanks for sharing. really like the coffee filters and the sail needle and the way you've taped it to the more sheath.
Thanks for commenting!!
I'm from NC too! Eastern NC. Nice to see other like minded folks from NC!
That's a lot of really good stuff in a pretty small bag. I like that set up: compact but still has all the basics that you need for short term survival. I'm in Georgia, so it's nice to see someone else in the southeast to compare items with. Very nice, take care!
+scotx1307 Thanks for watching!! if you liked this bag, let me know what you think of my latest video and my large get home bag!
th-cam.com/video/djvIqkydP-w/w-d-xo.html
Wow, you got a lot of items in that small bag. I've got to learn how to pack things well.
At last, a bag I could actually carry. Loved this video.
Great little bag, great little kit & great video.
Nice job fitting that much stuff in such a small bag! I may put together a video of my own soon. I will agree that there is probably too much redundancy here though. Your packing skills are great.
I like the idea of the Cliff Bars and more portable foods. I had been putting in the larger meal type bags. Also like the idea of the tent stakes. Good tips and adaptable to the NW USA where I live. Thanks.
Alot of capabilities in a small bag. Good job.
johnny wadd Thank you for your kind words and for watching!
Great video NC Prepper! Gave me a lot of good ideas for my own bag. Well done!
Thanks Steve!! We need to get one built for you!!
I am proud to sub to your channel...keep up the good work brother.
My dad used to carry a can of peanuts in his glove box. We lived in Houston, and his commute was easily 90 minutes, so having a snack made sense. He was also a Scout leader, so being prepared for "just in case" was his standard operating procedure.
+AnnBearForFreedom Your Dad sounds like a rally smart man! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I live in Well populated country in europe and most of the times we go out with my 2 kids. A lot of youvids contain stuf for one person and these bangs are hughe.You have a excellent nice small bag with a lot of stuff including xtra food.looking forward to see more vids from you nc prepper.
Finally a video with an actual get home bag thats small and light enough to move quickly with and rarely stop. Could lighten it up but most of that stuff isnt that heavy. Still trying to figure out why people need pens and pencils trying to get home.
Thank you for your video. Very informative!
Cool video redundancy is great , love the fact you include a map . Most of the prepping videos IV seen focus on compasses but I rarely see maps . I myself live in North Carolina and I would only change your shelter system a bit adding a waterproof tarp and a hammock , light weight and portable maybe an additional charger for your electronics . Or a small communication system . Like a pair of walkie talkies to help keep up with your children .
Great video 👍 TY for sharing
I really like this bag!
I dig the bag. Im more into minimalist edc/get home bags too. I do have larger bags for SAR or "bug out bags" which I refer to as comfort bags. But good setup man.
great bag..smart items
The SOL products are awesome too. Very light, and compact. The credit card knives are good to keep in the wallet as well.
visamedic Thanks for the great ideas!
love that bag great size
I’m from NC to, really cool I just discovered your channel!
SC prepped here
That's a really nice kit. One item I was amazed by was the cuff key. Pretty smart choice. You never know. I'd take about half the fire kits and a few knives out. That would free up some space for maybe a small radio or another food item. But overall a very nice, well thought out bag.
OMG! What is that, some kind of Harry Potter magical bag or something?
I watched your entire video. 39 minutes of you pulling about 100 items out of this little bag that looks not much bigger than a lunch box. I was waiting for you to pull out a DVD player and TV next. LOL
Good job, brother! A VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER BAG!
+Figmo JustFigmo Thank you for you hilarious comments!! The DVD and TV are in my larger bag!!
Mine's about half as packed as yours and I find it very troublesome to get at things in a rapid manner and put them back if I add more. Added a drop leg pouch and that made a big difference getting some of the bulk out of the UTG
I like it brother, a good kit, Looks like your ready for anything. Regards Cliff.
steelfanatic 65 Thanks!! I really glad that you like my bag.
Great video with lots of ideas! A couple of quick suggestions...make a list of items in the bag...points out duplicate items which will give you added room... I might suggest some form of water filter/water containers/sill cock/etc. depending upon where you live (city/urban/etc.), plus a few drink items (coffee/tea/flavored water pkts...), snacks (i.e.; nuts, protein bars, rice/pasta mixes, etc.), plus a container for cooking and a small stove of some type (esbit, firebox, etc.) just in case... A good compass and map to get home in case earthquake, natural disaster prevents you from taking your normal route... Thanks sooo much for sharing and your video gave me several great ideas! Safe and prosperous life to you and yours!
Good stuff, inexpensive with great coverage of several possible emergencies. What is the name/ model of that Stanley stainless bottle/cup ?
Nicely done !!!
David Louise Thanks! I am glad that you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for the ideas.
thank you for the informative video..hope i can make a bug out bag like yours as what we do in our scouts day,, always be prepared...
+hermi cabreros Thank you for watching and I hope that you bag build goes well!
NIce to have a like minded person in NC - Keep up the vids great and fun information
Thank you for your kind words!! I plan to do more videos soon.
Well thought out. I myself do not like sling bags, for a two day scenario I am OK with it.
I was reluctant to watch this because of the length, but I'm glad I did! Man, you really got a lot of stuff in that little bag! Nice job.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks Chris! I was reluctant to post it because of the length of the video. But, then I thought that I had watched videos that long from similar people here as well. I am really proud of the bag and I am really glad that you liked it!! Thank you for the kind words, and I look forward to seeing if you build one also!! I will watch the video, no matter how long it is! Thanks again!!
NC Prepper you are officially my favorite TH-cam prepper, your reviews are incredible. I'm 13 and I was hoping you could give me an idea for a good backpack that wouldn't be to expensive. I know you have a lot of experience. Keep up the good work and post more videos.
Josef Mayor Thank you, Josef. I really appreciate your kind words. As far as a backpack, you could look into something like this to get you started.

NC Prepper wow I think I'm going to get this, great recommendation, do you need me to do anything in return, maybe advertising, or research on products
No, I don't really need anything in return. I am really appreciate it though! If you have any other questions, please let me know!
Also, let me know if you end up getting that or some other bag and what you end up putting in it, as I am always interested in what other gear people put into their bags.
Thanks again, and as always let your friends and family know about my channel. I would love to see it continue to grow.
A BIG like!!! greetings from Veracruz, México.
Great video on your bag. I will say will say that you could lighten your load alot by getting rid of you your redundancies. I counted 3 whistles 3 lighters 3 compasses and so on You gave me some great ideas
Iodine Prep Pads are intended to use directly on skin. They are not intended to be used on open wounds. They are for disinfecting prior to breaking the skin (i.e. prior to an IV start or surgical procedure). Use the proper tool for the job.
+Mike L Thanks for the info!
There are many of factors in survival.
One resource I discovered which successfully combines these is the Survivor Crusher System
(google it if you're interested) without a doubt the most useful survival resource i've heard of.
look at the great free video.
+Mike L There are many of components to survival.
One resource I found that successfully combines these is the Survivor Crusher System
(check it out on google) without a doubt the most incredible survival website that I have ever seen.
look at the incredible free video.
so much for your advertisement o another fear mongering which did not come to pass. Said Obama would not fill out his term- oops!
sabra beli wtf? seriously?
Loved the video. Similar to the mini kit I keep in my pickup, and in my bag when I'm on duty. Gave me a few ideas on a few things, but I have to say, if you ever do a video where you get lost, I will laugh my ass off, given the number of compasses you have. :-D
visamedic I think that I do need to go back through the bag and lighten it up a bit!!
@@ncprepper100 Naaaaaaaaaaaa just fine, it's your bag and can have anything you want in it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, nice kit and video, thanks, and subbed.
Thank you for your comment and watching my video. Hopefully it gave you some good information or ideas!!
I noticed a few commets on grouping similar items eg fire sources 2gether heres my thougnt in doing so ya run the chance of say losing items ya would lose all and have no means making fire so spread it round
Great set up! I run a similar set up. Thanks for sharing. Great insights here.
Thank you for the kind words. I am really glad that you liked the video. You should put up a video of your bag as well!!
It's in the works. I have quite a few video's planned out for the coming weeks.
Thanks for sharing👍
A great kit and good ideas in the comments too. l agree though there is too much redundancy in a few areas and think if you cut back a bit on that you could carry a few of the suggested items (whichever ones suit your situation) without increasing weight and still fit them in the same space. My suggestions to stream line it would be, first try to keep like items together rather than scattered through the kit (eg a fire section, a first aid section etc), second, label things like your tins so theres no guessing at contents involved if you need to find something quick or worse yet if you're injured and someone else has to find something (also a good reason for keeping things together) and third make sure you can use everything in it before you actually have to depend on it. A nice little kit that l am happy to get some new ideas from, well done. l enjoyed it.
Thank you for your comments! Since making the video some time back, I actually have made several of the recommended changes to my bag, and I am always to hear about more/ This is how we can all learn together. Thanks again!
nice vid! i also have an UTG that i use for edc and it works great, even as tactical lunch box . I have the same idea, not trying to camp just going home . By the way whit the sawyer mini the straw goes in the other end! XD.
+Iron Polux Thanks for watching and the info!!
One thing that weighs virtually nothing - a nylon dry bag. I line the main pouch of each of my kits with a dry bag - sized to match the circumference and hanging out several inches to roll up. In this case, maybe a 5 liter bag. Keeps all your gear dry if you take a fall crossing a creek, and gives you a secondary carry pouch if you need to collect tinder or something. Never trust ANY bag to be waterproof, or even water resistant. The most foolish posts on Amazon are people complaining that they went backpacking and the gear in their lightweight pack got wet in the rain! All for the lack of a 4 oz, $9 dry bag.
I apply 2 layers of waterproofing spray to every other / emergency kit bag I have. Point taken on the inner liner bag though. One of my bags has 2 drainage (?) holes on the bottom that I only just noticed the other day. If I set it down on wet ground or trip into a wet/waterlogged ditch, it's game over on that count.
Luckily I have the smaller 2.5 mil trash compactor bags on hand that I will be lining it with.
I was born in North Carolina and have been to North Augusta, South Carolina, West Virginia and lived in Virginia several times. I have experienced those climates and now I am in Florida which is not that much different particularly in the central most parts away from the shore and beaches. Only thing is lots of rain at times, humidity almost all year and bugs when it's really hot. It's almost like northern woods or depending on weather and location, it can turn more tropical like Puerto Rico or the Keys.
The one thing I would say to anyone, is to grab more water and food on the go and the ability to shelter seems excessive, but if I couldn't get home, I'd want something to keep me dry and a mosquito net. Nobody has mentioned it yet, but a change of clothes would be nice. And I would try to have one chopping blade, short or long machete, or even an axe to do what your belt knife isn't heavy enough to do. Even if you're just laying low for a night it would be a more comfortable and potentially less stressful night.
Hello mate , very good video very informative , a lot of good kit in a small bag ,well thought out great stuff .atb Martin
Thank you. I am really glad that you liked the video and the Get Home Bag!
Very nice video. Im sure you will see your channel getting bigger soon as you have good videos.
Thank you very much for the kind words! I really appreciate. It is people like you and your comments that will help my channel grow. Thanks again!!
great video ... lots of useful stuff... I would add about 3 waist size of cordage with 3 key rings for the trash bags and heat sheet ready to go for quick deploying in rain/ colder areas. Wrap around ones waist to trap air inside your core and use the other 2 for arms(bags). For the heat sheet tie over the shoulders and around the waist.( cover the head if needed). You have instant space to put extra insulation you find or use the orange sham for that.
Thanks for the great idea!!
Some good ideas!
Thank you. I am glad you liked the video!!
good job.
Very cool
nice bag. my favoret is the bottle. i just uploaded a vide of my edc
Thanks for the comment! I will go out check out your video. I always like to see what other people have in their bags. I think sharing gives us the best opportunity to get your bag the best it can be!
this is perhaps the best and most comprehensive video ive seen theres only a few things i would add like pepper spray ( great for self defense and as a repelent for wild animals) and some ligth sticks or flares thank you and i hope you make more videos like this one
Those are great additions that I should add to the bag. Thanks!!
You might want to think about compartmentalizing. Things like food items, placed in just a regular ziploc bag. Same with fire starting items (any similar items that you could group together). That cuts down on the clutter so you don't have to search through your bag to get a particular item.
Also keep those altoids tins near the top, so if you find yourself in such a situation that you need to grab your GHB and hike back to the house, you toss those in a pocket. incase you get separated from your bag, you still have your survival and fire kit on your person. All that redundancy doesn't do any good if you lose it all at once cause you got separated from your bag.
A Lot of great ideas! Thank you!! I should have mentioned in the video. I do usually keep a lot of the stuff in their own bags, but I am not the best at making videos yet and had done a lot of retakes, so I left a lot of the stuff out of the bags to make the video making less stressful. Thank you again for all of your suggestions, this is how we all learn and make our preps better.
@@ncprepper100 nice video
Great video here
Thank you. I really appreciate it!!
cliff bars are good
As long as there's room for a 9 with mags and a100rds, looks good.
Wow, I counted about 10 knives/blades. Question: since you have so much stuff, would you know exactly where to find a specific item if you were in a hurry?
braided waxed jute twine is amazing
Great idea!!
dryer lint rubbed with vasoline can be put in a larger bag and will keep for years. try it out.
great video, can i stick my 8.5 inch fire hd8 tablet in the main pouch?? thank you
This is truly the ultimate get home bag
Thanks!!
Thanks for the video I will make me a bag tonight
Kevin Jcg I am glad that you like it and thanks for watching!! I would love to see what you end up coming up with.
I will have to post a vid
Kevin Jcg Definitely let know when you get it posted!
Have the same bag in black. I made a get home bag for the wife's car with it a couple of years ago. Kind of funny how her bag has many of the exact same items.
angryagain68 Thanks for watching my video!!
Good Bag, Good Video!
Thank you!!
Thank You!!
Just noticed that I watched over 30mins of this video. Good job. Wonder what camera you use? Also subbed!
Mil Survival I am glad that you liked my video. Lately, I have been using an older Sony HD Camcorder HDR-CX220. It is nothing fancy, but it is getting the job done for now! Thanks again!!
Hello mate, good video, the wire saw that you have is one of the cheap ones. Try getting a gibbley saw, that are about £5.00. Take care. Craig.🇮🇲
Due to the proximity of my job and my home, my 'get home' bag (IF for some unforeseen circumstances where all 3 roads to my home can't be traveled on with my truck and I have to walk) will consist of a bottle of water, gun, extra mag. I won't be stalking game, building a fire, sleeping. OK, maybe a snack food bar. My truck always has extra clothes in it for different weather patterns. I've walked from where I work to my home and it takes me 1 hour. IF we get a lot of snow, I'll add 45 minutes. A lot of snow has not stopped me from driving home in the past.
Really nice set up you have there. I used to carry a small bottle of bleach too, but I traded that in for one of those chlorine pool tablets. The bottled stuff will not last for long, but that tablet will last forever. I scrape some of the tablet off and mix it with water in the small bottle and then add a few drops until I can smell a hint of bleach in the water I want to treat. It's not an exact science, but in an emergency, I know I have a real way to treat A LOT of water in a very small package. If you get the number off of the pool tablets and call them, and tell them you're going on a missions trip and you were needing a compact way to treat large amounts of water, they are VERY helpful in steering you in the right direction. Just make sure you can name a church or missions group if they start asking a couple questions. You don't want to look like a jerk and not know the answers. They're not prying, they're just making conversation while helping you out. Keep up the great work.
I am glad that you liked the video and thanks for the useful information! I agree about the bottle of bleach. I have got some of the Katadyn tablets in another bag that I also carry with me. I also found some cool little filters that I am going to make a video of and put up pretty soon to hopefully take out the chlorine taste out of the water.
สย่าจตจชบล
It's fun!! so very cool!!
Thank you!!
As a former us army Infantryman that got out in 2014 I've never seen the military energy before
Good stuff..your set for the journey. Cheers ;-)
The bag is very nice, water canteen very very nice, like the AA flashlight, nice Mora knife, some cordage, sawyer water filter, little bit of first aid, little bit of food for a day or two, keep the compass...I would ditch just about everything else and find you a good military poncho to pack in. Even though I think you are carting around way too much junk, I did enjoy your video. Just my two cents.
Good video. I would add a pair of binoculars. It's always good to be able to look farther than you can normally, particularly if everyone isn't behaving themselves. This becomes particularly important if you have one or more children to keep safe, and you don't carry a gun.
That is a great idea!! I actually have another backpack that I carry with me all of the time that has binoculars and some other goodies as well. I hope to do a video on it in the near future.
You had instructions for the straw on the Sawyer mini backwards. Use the straw instead of bottle. The cap keeps dirt of mouthpiece.
Thanks for the info!
Nice kit, but I think I'd swap out some redundant items with a tube of Oragel, ( good for sanitizing and killing pain on cuts and scrapes) a small plastic bottle of castor oil, ( good for removing particles from eyes. Very soothing. We were issued small bottles of it when working on aircraft) and a snake bite kit. No telling where you will have to walk to get to safety.
A Keeper Of Odd Knowledge snake bite kits are worthless. No emergency room doctor or paramedic would ever recommend
Funny, I mention building a get-home bag and you post a video. :)
I thought I had mentioned the other day I was going to post a video of my bag. I started filming the big bag and my battery died on my camcorder. I will re-shoot the video and post it soon.
NC Prepper You may have, I just didn't remember. I'm building 2 duplicate bags, 1 for each vehicle. I need to teach the wife some basic skills to use the items in the bag though.
Jason Griffin I love this saying. "The easiest to make your bag lighter is to learn more skills... Knowledge weighs nothing!"
Everyone, and for every situation, have their own optimized tool set. You'll learn what that is by practice.
Too many "experts" are making too much money selling bug out gear. They will fight you every inch of the way on this.
+tom jackson This is more of an exercise in getting people prepared and hopefully will get them to build or put something together themselves than to try to sell these. I have a link to my Amazon store if anyone would like to buy some of the things that I mention in the video.
