I would think about adding small wire cutters for fences. Everything is so organized but I would make a dedicated fire kit. Your fire supplies are spread out in the pack. Maybe some extra cash you can store in the knife sharpening kit behind the plates. A neck gaiter is useful. Leuko tape. A charging cord for the 3 major charging cord styles. Anti chaff stick. Contractors bags. A flare stick. A sniper veil for camouflage. A map of your county or state. Dyneema thread for sewing. Dedicated sunglasses to the bag.
I've watched quite a few videos on bug-out bags/SHTF, and stumbled across one of your camping videos and decided to subscribe. As a female who has always loved camping (tent, open air, etc.) I greatly appreciated your advice to observe who you're camping with and have found myself in situations where I arrived first at a camping spot, and at some point during the night others have shown up. Only once have I had to release a dog on someone, and that immediately took care of the situation and I stayed put. You present your material in such as way that is straight to the point, but calm. There are a lot of ex-military dudes that are just too high-intensity that would instill too much nervousness in the average person during an emergency situation, but I'd find myself more apt to listen and follow instruction from someone such as yourself. Glad I found your videos and look forward to watching all of them.
@@JBLynch that’s a great comment that I take as a compliment, thank you… and thanks for watching and supporting the channel with your subscription. I work a full time job outside of TH-cam but try to get a video out every couple of weeks. If there are specific things that people want me to cover, I will do my best to make it happen. Thanks again 👍🏼
Solid kit sir! Needs Eye protection, N95 mask and 2 Instant Oatmeals. Replacing the pillow with a military Field Jacket Liner will increase your survivability, and it could also be used as a pillow. You made an admirable and thoughtful decision to go with a 22 pistol, but you should also consider a suppressor to facilitate your low profile approach.
One thing I have in my bag is a “battery/power bank” which you can charge your phones with, also a little solar panel to charge the power bank, or other devices
That’s a good idea… I’ve actually considered putting one in my bag too… just another thing you have to keep charged and maybe force you to go through your bag again. I’m still kind of old school and want to make sure I can operate without any electronics… but electronics do make things easier :)
@@ashtraydekay6624 GMRS and HAM radios would be a good idea for that... they haven't started tracking those yet. and you can listen without transmitting your location... just always be aware that propaganda is very real and will be used in a major event. Don't believe everything you hear during those times.
Okay, glad to see you have a Sillcok key. I probably spelled that wrong. Over all not a bad video. Not bad at all. Oh, an Ezbit stove with fuel tablets, might work better in some area's. Or one of the small folding twig stoves.
Great, well thought out approach to the ‘go bag’. The only suggestion I would make is to have another container for the loose batteries in your ditty bag in order to prevent accidental discharge. Thanks for the video!
I pack a neat slingshot that folds up small for rabbits and such and have a sure shot without glasses for a low target 25 feet away. (I've never been that great at fishing--ponds and lakes are too busy near me to have anything left anyway).
A bag is a bag. YOU give the best advice and I will watch your 2hr video post it. I have quite a bit of stuff in a 17L bag and have plenty of room. Im ocd. YOU are amazing love it
I noticed that when I was going through it… as soon as I got home I put my fish kit in the bag :) another good reason to go through your set up once in a while. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a pretty extensive load-out. I'm curious how much this weighs altogether? The only thing I would say from a user experience standpoint is how you've organized your gear so that its more accessible on the go. For instance; a first aid kit can be as comprehensive as you like, but trying to fish out a kit with blood streaming down your arm contaminating everything it isn't ideal let alone trying to do it one handed. Its not to say I would put it on the outside of a bag in the elements either, but its something to think about. A rain fly for the pack might be a good option, so you don't need to over compartmentalize with so many dry bags, and pack them flat inside if you are intending to cross a waterway or something extreme.
@@Brandon-0028 hey, thanks for watching. I think I said in the video that everything weighs 38 lbs… my pack zips down the middle so I don’t have to dig for anything… i have a tourniquet in the top pouch for major bleeding on an extremity… I keep a poncho in my bag if it starts to rain I can put it over me and the bag… wait… I said all of this in the video… did you watch it?
@@RLittle1 it was feeling a bit long and listened to most of it while skipping past bits so I may have missed where you mentioned those things. Seems like you’ve got it all figured out. 8-). Nice going!
I don't care what the distance you think you'll have to travel is if you can cut down on weight in your pack if only a small bit then do it. And for those who might be considering throwing a hatchet of some sort into their gold bag before you do think about whether or not you actually need it.
@@boilermatt thanks for watching… they are all “Sea to Summit” dry bags… they have many different sizes and types, choose what is right for you. Hint: a 25 degree down sleeping bag fits perfectly in a 20 liter dry bag.
Okay, good first aid kit, but a tad over the top. Only carry what you know how to use. Although, the stuff you carry that you may not know how to use, can be used for Barter or Trade, if it come down to that. My Dad and Best Friend where both Army Medics, so I know more then some, but I'd never try to sew up a wound. Way out of my comfort zone. So carry what you are comfortable with, and know how to use it.
I didn't think of the dental kit nor a sewing thimble. I have in mine, that you, didn't mention a battery pack. With that I can get it two extra cell charges, or recharge batteries. Also elastic stretch wraps for elbow or ankles. Bigger one for knees. I would prefer to save elastic wrap from the first aid kit if possible. I also want a small twig burning stove. Pro and cons with it. I may not want a fire, not safe to be. But good for heating food or water to reconstitute freeze dried. My bag I look at 72 hours approx. I'm heading to bugout location as a last resort. I prefer to bunker down/bug in. Although I may need to evac, wild fire, riots, Chaz/Chad, hurricane, Nov. Unrest. I plan 72 hr travel to bugout lacation. Resupply inroute, or at new location is better stocked.
A go bag is necessary these days for everyone. So many storms. Do not stay just leave! I see these RV campers try and sit out in flooding thunderstorms instead of leaving with their RV. If you cannot get out with your RV have a GO bag and list to get in your truck and go. RV's and Trucks floating down a river. Why?
@@mycocoaone good point… some rivers are notorious for rising quickly and furiously, and you should be prepared for it! Thanks for watching and sharing!
One of the best i saw , in spite of the water purification stuff i would carry real Water, maybe a 1lt bottle , i guess you could trade it in terms of weight with other stuff like some parts of the sewing kit , the extra grayl filter...i N95 mask , ok, but you probably could replace it with that orange /cloth /shemag even if wet. I also would trade the second headlamp with the equivalent or less weight with a couple of chemlights , if a super EMP , got your lights burnt , by the way your hand light seemed a Surefire to me , that is a top and excelent choice , is it a surefire ? You seem solid ...i will subscribe, all the best from Portugal.
@@RLittle1 You are welcome, i watch a lot of preppers channels , some are big in Numbers but The guys /gals although good people , some of them don't seem to train or test or have experience, Thank you for your answer , i am looking forward to your Next videos.
Aha. Here is what I didn't think about. About 2 years ago I bought a bag of whole cloves. And up until today I couldn't remember why I bought them until you mentioned you have an emergency dental kit. Now I know. That's a well thought out kit. I'm in Canada and many years ago ex-president Obama said in one of his speeches that if you are faced with a disaster you should not depend on the government to be there to help you right away. Basically you're on your own at first.
Here’s an Obama fun-fact: He was the executive producer on a Netflix film called Leave The World Behind where he scolded the writer/director and stated that nobody would come to the aid of us during that scenario.
I would add a complete change of clothes, a battery bank, some electrolyte drink mixes, some bullion cubes, coffee or tea bags, and some individual instant soup mixes. If it's cold something hot would be a great pick me up. I would also add a couple of contractor trash bags. I think you have a great setup overall.
All great ideas… consider that electronic devices might not be working and how you would manage without them. I love the instant soup mix idea for a warm pick me up! Thank you for watching :)
The problem with a video like this. Is people who live say in Alaska, are going to need different items. Then say some on in Florida. Plus, if you have to leave due to fire, flood, or hurricane. Make sure you have all the papers you need to prove you had a house, plus all the insurance papers. Also if you have special medical needs, and medication. Have copies of all your prescriptions, plus as much of said meds you have on hand. Same could be true with "Civil Unrest" But I will bug in for that, for as long as I can.
Yea man 10% of my bodyweight is 14 pounds and unless you wanted to drop a gold bar on gear no kit that light would be sufficient for longer term survival, hell the tarp kit i carry is already 7 pounds. Im a very well trained individual and from my personal experience I can go with 30-35% Bw and make 15 miles a day, granted ofc that being situational but im sayin straight walk no trouble, 15 miles relatively comfortably. I really think it dials down to training and atleast for me you throw guns and ammo and a bottle of water in a bag your already over 14 pounds training will dictate what you can carry, Anyways great video thats jmho rock on brotha.
In the most likely scenarios I’m not going to be bushcrafting, plus my axe is a big fixed blade. As far as food goes, I have fasted many times for 3, 5 & 7 days and know that food is not a necessity in the short term, plus food is heavy and before you know it you have a 70 lb pack and the food is still going to run out… so, having a food stash at your location is important, as well as just taking food with you in your vehicle and stashing it when you get to your destination will work great too. I didn’t go into all the scenarios and how to bug out and set up your location and all of that… perhaps I can make multiple videos on those things. I do carry an emergency food ration, it is in the video. Thanks for watching and for the suggestions, much appreciated :)
