Green Beret’s Bug out Bag | Survival Prepper | Tactical Rifleman
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 เม.ย. 2019
- This week on Tactical Rifleman I wanted to cover what I carry in my “Red Bag.” Some people would call it a “Bug Out Bag” or “Get Home Bag.” I’m not big on those names, as it gives thoughts that I am some nut case Prepper. That is not the case. I am just a retired Green Beret that has had “preparedness” beat all the way down into my DNA.
After our “Hiking Bag” video did so well; we got a lot of comments asking for me to show what was in my “Bug Out Bag.” A lot of students that attend our courses, likewise, wanted me to do a video about my “Bug Out Bag.” So, OK; here it is, but don’t bitch because I didn’t show you any need secret kit for you to buy or any “magical” piece of gear that you just HAVE to get. Nope. Just my bag of stuff that I want to have with me.
So, this minimalist bag is going to really let down all the survivalists that follow our channel. Sorry about that. However, on the flip side, a lot of our other viewers are also gonna scream that I have WAY too much crap to drag around with me all over the planet. So, either way, I loose. Except, that I don’t care. This is what I carry in my vehicle. It is currently in my jeep; as I just returned from a trip to Memphis to teach a course. It’s a 4 hour drive, one way. Never touched the bag the whole weekend. Didn’t bother me a bit. However, if something had happened, it was there for me, to make my life easier.
I hope you enjoy the video, and I really do look forward to reading all the comments from all our viewers out there. I’m hoping there are lots of suggestions for other great items that I might have missed, as I do still have a bit of room left. However, I have a feeling that 90%of the suggestions will be for items that I already have stashed in my vehicles. I wasn’t joking when I said that Jeep is loaded down with great gear.

😎 👍 📓
Kanzee, you put a lot of time into this. Thanks for helping our viewers out. I didn't realize how much shit I had in there... that's a big list. Thanks for watching, TR
Not all heros wear capes
Great Job, thanks for the edit.
Kanzee
Thank you. Took time and is very helpful!
Your a psychopath....
No I'm just ahead of the curve
How did Karl fill that bag? Everything takes zero space. If I need to bug-out, I'm taking Karl
I was thinking the same thing
Watching a 42 minute video about what’s in Karl’s backpack when I should be studying. I regret nothing
Thanks for watching, TR
I didn’t realize this video was so long lol
You were technically studying...
Carl doesn't need a bugout bag. Bugout bags carry Carl bags
Cory Hobbs Bruh!!!
Cory Hobbs exactly!!!!
Talk about tongue twister😂
This was great, thanks, I have been researching "how to build a cheap bug out bag" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Janameron Tenylan System - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got great success with it.
I will refer to my bags as "Carl Bags" from now on. Thank you
Special Tip: you can take out the cardboard inside of a roll of duct tape and flatten the roll. This way the roll won't take up space.
Am I the only person that really enjoys the fact that they actually have added the spots for the TH-cam ad mid roles? It is so wonderful.
“Because it’s 550 cord!” Enough said! You the man Carl, keep up the great content.
Thanks for watching, TR
"Corporal Corner" swapped out most of his 550 for #30 bank line. I've been trying it out asking side my para cord to see how I like it.
@@kerbalairforce8802 so which do u prefer?
other preppers: we need this gear and this gear and carry this.
karl: i don't need anything.
He has some wire in case his truck breaks. He can wire it back together. I guess he can't say his truck doesn't need anything.
@Timothy Mckee Yeah, I had that exact same thought.
The environment will provide if you have the knowledge and training.
Of course he means beginning with nothing... We will pick up and make tools to assist us as time progresses.
Great video
My bug out's even smaller (might upsize it a little after seeing this vid, though). I have several tiers of prepper stuff.
Tier 1 is stuff I'd absolutely require, if dropped in the middle of the forest. For example, alcohol wipes, sterile gauze and waterproof tape aren't found in nature. There's a pot in there too, for boiling water and cooking. It all fits in a side bag, about 1/3rd the size of his backpack.
Tier 2 is stuff to last months in the middle of the forest. Things like portable shovel, saw, hatchet, ammo, rifle, spotting scope, etc. This is roughly the maximum I can carry. Not bug out.
Tier 3 is everything else, including entertainment. Stuff you need so you don't go insane and blow your brains out, 5 years into a situation that hasn't resolved itself. Not portable.
Timothy Mckee By looking at Karl’s BOB BAG it’s nothing compared to other people I’ve seen.
Karl, I couldn't agree more that knowledge is key when it comes to this. Nineteen pounds is my limit, and I am confident in my ability to make do with this. I don't have to be super comfortable. I just have to stay alive. It's way easier on the back, legs, and feet. Also, you don't look like you're storming the castle. It's great to blend in, and look unassuming. Great video! I'm making my wife watch this so she can here someone other than me preaching that you don't need to try, and pack the entire house into a bag. I one hundred percent believe this mentality, and live it. Thanks, brother.
"You're soft......you work in an office. I get it..." Almost pissed myself.
Thanks for watching, TR
Everyone in my family has gotten a bugout bag from me as a gift, for the last few years. Great gift ideas.
My birthday is coming up ... Daddy.
But are they familiar with what's in them? Are they gonna use them if shtf?
For this kinda content, I watch every single add. Thanks for the knowledge and thank you for the sacrifices.
Thank you. We appreciate the support. Strength and Honor, TR
I like how he introduces the breaks instead of mid-sentence
The Christopher Walken of prepping
phrozen17 omg I didn’t realize this, so true
i Need...to get...my bugouT baG and GO...Live Off..of the LAND
I was thinking the same thing lol!!!
haha holy shit
More cowbell
A flask of bourbon and a six-stick travel humidor are also critical in a survival situation...
In the Jeep
@Tactical Rifleman dang, I need a Jeep to keep the Bourbon. Greetings from NKY.

Wow I’m gobsmacked over how much of this stuff I already carry in my purse, I feel like my internet ninja points just went up! Top it off with the special shout out in the video and I feel like I’m nearly at teir 1 status!!! 😂😂. Great video Karl, love that you are unapologetically you.
that's one gnarly purse!
"What's that just feel outta your purse?"
My infrared strobe.
@@kerbalairforce8802 lol
ME TOO! I was shocked as well..but mines not a purse so much as a satchel/murse and then the “get home” bag is in the trunk. LEVEL UP!
Karl has never been a homeless traveler.
He is telling you things like you should suscribe to Gaia GPS, which is absurd since you can download topo and terrain maps to store offline from google maps alone, for free... and he is also promoting that you use a small ass pack in which you dont have enough space to even carry food or adequate water for 72 hours......Karl is misleading you and acting like a tough ass.
If you are planning for a 72 hour trek, or a 200 mile trek which will be longer use at least a 50 liter pack. You're not going to go out of your way to find creeks and streams, and even if you do you need water carriers. And no contrary to popular belief you dont need personal hygiene that much, a younger guy only needs gold bond, water and a wash cloth.
I think people are too scared to criticize a green beret. Most regular people, and even veterans need to carry water, food and clothing/water proofing and that is primary. 1 mid sized water bottle is laughable. And your most likely not going to need a fire in a 72 hour or 200 mile (much longer than 72 hours) trek unless its freezing.
He'll get you in a bad position if you listen to this video.
LOVE my Leatherman Surge!!! People say it's too big... it's like .5 inches wider and 1.5 ounces heavier than most other multi tools but has literally EVERY tool you could ever need with the bit and driver set. When I started my maintenance job I got by with my Surge alone for 4/5 of all the jobs I had to do before my tools came in. Love the vid Karl, subbed!!
Thanks for watching. TR
Karl: Great video, as always.
Might I make a suggestion (or two). It will only take up a tiny (tiny) bit of space and will be light.
An essential bit of kit is a sewing kit. In the sewing kit have a range of needles (sack needle, sail needle, leather needle, carpet needle). They can be invaluable when you are repairing your rucksack, boots or your tarp. When traversing down "shit creek" repairs to body AND equipment will aways be necessary. Replace cotton with 0.14 Dynama fishing line. Also include darning thread and darning wool for essential sock repair. The French army may "march on its stomach", as Napoleon said, but the British Army marches on its feet. Yes, we are strange like that.
For purposes of a darning "mushroom" use half an old tennis ball (the inner rubber bit, you understand). Oh, and if anybody out there does not know how to darn a sock or a tear or sew on a button, best learn now. It does not take long but you need to know how to do it.
In the wilderness, in my experience, the first things to break are: Your shoelaces; your socks; your boots, the skin on your hands and feet, and any zips. If you look after your feet, your feet will look after you. A selection of spare buttons can repair any busted zip problems. I also keep a few spare replacement zip fasteners of different sizes in my sewing kit. Again, takes up virtually no space. Note spare shoelaces (of course, 550 will do). Since I have started using Ironlace I have never had any breakages.
On the same subject of running repairs, I strongly recommend a Yank product, namely Shoe Goo. This is brilliant stuff for repairs, be it your footwear,.... tarp, coat,...or anything else for that matter. You can buy a tiny tube of the stuff. However, it is also a brilliant accelerant. If you cannot start a fire with this stuff, then you should not be let out into the wilderness at all.
Over and out!!
Keep making the fantastic and educational films. Love the tip about the coffee by the way.
Best wishes, from the town with "Four Thousand holes."
Thanks for sharing
He carries a Leatherman (which has an awl) as well as cord. I am not an expert, but I think he should be able to do many sewing repairs with those two things.
@@m.e.3614 I take your point M.E. It is, of course, good to make items multi-purpose. Just one question though: Have you ever tried making a repair with the awl on the Leatherman Surge? I really don't recommend it. Sometimes the proper kit, especially if it is light, is the one you need. There are no substitutes, This is why, for centuries, the British Tommy carried his 'Housewife' (ie sewing kit). Good enough for them,..... good enough for me.
Did you know that that gear takes zero space and he's 51 years old? Lol love these videos.
Great Video .. My Dad was a lifer in the Marines through 3 wars . Wish he would’ve spent some time teaching me survival techniques . I was going to join but he explained after Vietnam and Korea he didn’t want his children to be in the military . But still had 2 sisters join . Anyway he was a Drill instructor & trained Marine Corp. Officers . Spent WW2 in Japanese prison camps in Burma , like bridge on the river Kwai . One of the first to land at Inchon , Korea . Fought in the Chosin Battle . In Lebanon in the 50’s . Adviser in the early stages of the Vietnam War . Very Proud and Honorable Man . Would like to get his Service Records and Copies of his Medals . Maybe you could do a tutorial for those of us that would like to keep their Dad’s Proud Service Alive . He passed in 1986 but is still recorded in the U.S.S. Houston as one of the Survivors . Thanks for your Time ... look forward to your next video .
God Bless👍 Men like your father are great examples for all of us to try and emulate
cheers
❤
Thanks Karl. Finally a video on a bug out bag that makes sense. Everybody I ever talk to about a bug out bag, I start with having a comfortable pair of hiking shoes. Almost every video I watch never has shoes mentioned. What the hell are you supposed to do if you’re in a business suit or a pair of shorts and flip-flops and get stranded 30 miles from home? I’d say this is a lot more practical than worrying about whether you can make fire or not.
Thanks for watching, TR
Not boring at all Karl. Thanks for showing us. One thing that I don't see on the link list is the three-way space pen.
Not just "gents" watching you Karl. Another great vid.
Thanks Jen, we do value our female viewers. Thanks for watching. TR
THANK YOU!
He's saying gents because he's spent his entire military career addressing members of his teams and they're overwhelmingly male. I say "gents" my WO's said "gents" It's the nice PC way we address our guys. Spend 20+ years in the military you'll be saying it too regardless of what's between your legs
This Aussie girl too
Literally all you got from this video: "hey pay attention to me, I'm a girl"
A 42 min TR video? Time to get the popcorn!
Shit, I never noticed! Glad I saw your comment haha! Guess I'll save it for later tonight. Will give me something to look forward too. (Just got off work and I'm tired as fuuuuck)
Nabil Afiq LoL
Just realizing at 29:32 Haha
No wonder you can fit so much in that bag. Half of it “takes up no space” but seriously. Very good video.
My favorite part is were he mentions that he is a bit deaf and he has some drain bamage. That's very honest.
Anybody who can make me laugh during my commute, and I listen to it I don't watch it in case you're wondering, deserves a comment. Dame Bramage! Love that.
Thanks for listening. TR
42 MINUTES?!! I don't know that l have enough paper towels and lotion on hand...
Oh Jesus. The Garand Thumb virus is mutating. Soon it will spread to right wing conspiracy videos and conservative news outlets, then Logan Paul and channels with douchebag hosts.... and finally.... all the TedX talks.
No channel is safe.

I was Navy so I carry AstroGlide.... Totally different concept. Switching to body glide immediately.
Not THAT different when you think about it. Multi purpose item.
That’s the funniest TH-cam comment ever.
There's the Navy poking it's head out again. Thanks Semen, lol
😂🤣
Wow. Army here... ROTFLMMFAO!!! I just have to keep my mouth shut on that comment... Know anyone in the coast guard? Y'all might could take turns using that Astro Glide. I'm just teasing I know we are on the same side... Lol
Not bored at all, I learn so much from your videos. Thank you so much for the time you spend doing these videos.....
In the German Bundewehr instead of a Spork we use a "Flöffel" it's basically a Spoon with a lighter taped to it. There is nothing you can't eat with a spoon.
Dass es den nicht direkt dienstlich geliefert gibt, völlig unverständlich
"eintopf nation" :-)))
well thought out
Solid info here... and the idea of carrying the extra empty bag makes sense. Thanks Karl.
Almost identical to what I've run for 20 years. Never boring brother. Thanks. Learned a lot.
You forgot about the crayons for protein
He's isnt marsoc lol
I like the green ones
Nah, protein comes his get home buddy.
*delicious long pork*
He is not a Marine.
Crayons are laxatives to counter MREs.
Damn! Great stuff, Karl! That's got to be one of your best videos yet. I got into the channel for cool tactical shit but I think your survival videos are even better. Awesome!
Probably the best video you’ve ever done. Please, more like this. Thank you for making this video with all of its incredible life saving advice and information. AWESOME! Thanks brother.
Thanks for watching, TR
I've watched this multiple times and still learn more each time. great knowledge
My bug out bag has 12 rolls of toilet paper, 8 jars of hand sanitizer and 6 bottles of Fiji artesian water.
Ill go anywhere with a dude that carries trip wire in his damn water bottle ..
Now, that’s funny, right there. Thanks for watching, TR
After he said “this is what Karl carries” I immediately chuckled and liked
“It weighs nothing. It’s takes zero space”. And if Randy has a bag full of amazing shit “I’m not getting into” LoL! Love these videos.
Great video carl, nice explanations znd love the no b.s. approach, keep it going....and yes, we gotta see whats in that cool jeep
I learned a lot from this video.
Thank you for your time.
Carl rocks. Gotta thank you for some real life, experienced information.
Karl you are terrific. I don't think anyone would ever find you boring. What ever the subject you always make it interesting. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching, TR
Great video and I liked the idea of the empty bag...on my to get list.
8:25 Oh that poor, poor girl....
Congrats on the +350k subs Karl, I am glad to see how your channel has grown, you have always seemed like a really good dude and I'm happy for you man
Thanks for the support. TR
am sitting here Friday Morning off day drinking my coffee watching this awesome video! No pausing, just fascinated by the breakdown. Thanks
_Agree, in the words of Mors Kochanski, "The more you know, the less you carry"._
Dude - the body glide is so clutch
I like how he lets you know about the add, it’s something small but it’s appreciated
Im suprised this doesnt have more views, I find myself watching this many times over because of how good it is 👍
You just unpacked my bag almost exactly 😂 it takes some time. I just refined mine enough and went for 40 miles on the Appalachian trail over two days. Just like he said take it for a walk even better live out of it if you have the time. I was able to make changes that I would not have wanted to make when the time came to rely on the bag.
Pro tip regarding the high calorie power bars: choose the flavor you LEAST like. This will help you with rationing, for if you've ever felt extreme hunger, you know that it's super easy to end up binge eating your entire supply. Putrid taste will keep you alive.
Goattacular that’s a good idea.
meh, the moral for eating something that you can stand is much better - just need to have the discipline to ration.
Best bug out bag vid I’ve seen. Direct, to the point. Multifunctional and/or concealable. Awesome 😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
- Use your cellphone calendar function and plug in the expiration dates of your meds and batteries.
- Toothpaste expires also so I would put a full tube in and rotate it with that in your bathroom. When you run out in the bathroom, take the one in your bag and buy a new one for the bag.
- Rite in the Rain makes an excellent .9mm pencil like we used to get in the military, I highly recommend its a companion to your Rite in the Rain pen.
- The bad thing about duct tape is it looses it's adhesivety when you reapply it, so I don't recommend taping it all over other items to save space and weight. I have a full or partial roll and deal with it.
- I would carry the survival knife at the top of the bag on the inside or attached outside the bag or on me.
- Walmart sells the survival food bricks that are similar to the lifeboat rations.
- Get the largest heavy duty trash bags you can find, not the little kitchen bags. I also have huge tri-wall shrouds that are huge and make perfect shelters in a pinch, they're much thicker than any trashbag you'll find and are clear. They come in rolls of 50 or 100 and are not cheap.
Note to daughters boyfriend.. Carl is watching, he’s always watching
Literally no ads on the video on my end just FYI
Same here. He confused TH-cam by saying prepare for an ad thus creating an ad for an ad. Confuse the internet to defeat the internet. Karl is da man
That's funny. Thanks for watching, TR
I had 3 the one stupid concealed carry bag thing in the crotch.
“Preppers prepping for things that probably wont happen anyway”
Yeah, adverts.
4 for me.
Great video, I started taking this more seriously when I was working in an office in the Metro DC and we had what they call Snowmageddon. It took 9 hours to get home by car and it was only 12-15 miles as the crow flies. Being in an office I had a winter coat and dress shoes but they would have been useless if I had to or chose to abandon my car.
Thanks for watching, TR
You got it going on, Karl! Keep up the great work!
LOVE TR ! !
Thanks for watching, TR
my bug out bag has only one item in it: carl.
Assemble my own emergency bag after experiencing earthquakes in SoCal.
Enough shaking where I live to hear the windows rattle.
Right there with you!
Same
Probably one of the best bug out bags out there I've seen . Practical and efficient , thank you sir .
Thanks for watching. TR
The bottle that just keeps on giving. Great video.
Karl turns out his pockets and hmmm no f*cks to give keep it going brother that's what I like most about your channel this is your load out and you couldn't care less if someone don't like it
Thanks for watching, TR
The more you know the less you have to carry... I carry everything.
Anti biotics sunglasses sun protection . Back up first aid moisturizer extra razor blades. Power charger for phone. Search and camp light can charge ur phone extra watch.meds aspirin Advil contacts saline. Sheet plastic for floor of camp small axe extra batteries for flashlites
Thank you Karl. Valuable information. And straight to the point.
Just found you now, instantly subscribed. I think it’s great that you force the audience to think about matching their skills and knowledge to the items they carry. Given your training and experience, you need very little. Thank you for the awesome video, and most of all, for your service to our Great Country! 🇺🇸❤️
Thanks for the kind words. TR
I carry butt cream in all my bags. Good stuff and lasts a long time. Getting chafed on a long journey is no joke!
In a pinch chap stick works amazing
@@comeandtakeit_bushcraft5705 did a 9 mile hike with my kids and my son started chafing. Chapstick saved the day.
"I'm not walking to California" yeah I wouldn't want to either haha
...like walking to Chernobyl.
As someone who lives in SoCal, I second this heartily!
This is the most sensible and accessible kit I've ever seen
This is by far the best video of this nature!!
I have a feeling Carl has been called "a gear queer", only to have the same person turn around and ask to borrow a piece of kit. I know I've had it happen. Better to be prepared than shit out of luck.
Keep up the great videos and tips Brother.
Wait till they get a load of me. Anything they want I will either have it directly, a acceptable variation or the materials to make what they want. Beef jerky, water purification filter and water tablets, lemonade morale packet. Leatherman, allen wrench multi tool, ratcheting screw driver w/multi bits.. socket wrench adapter for ratcheting screw driver, socket extensions, wire twist splicers, mini crow bar, Laplander 9inch saw, TP, tooth brush, IFAK, hemp wick, weed..
I run ball ammo in my sig and as my ammo for my bugout bag. I only carry the expensive shit in my glock 19x it's my every day carry. Anything else can use ball since it provides the same outcome a hole in someones chest
I was never bored during this video! 🤩
As usual, very informative, and entertaining!

Yes , yes I remember
You forgot a set of those ski pole walking sticks, in combination with that red backpack and gators you could pass as a lost hiker from the *appalachian trail* ...totally harmless...

I Attempted to Prep like this about 5 yrs ago, let me tell you the Money and time alone to purchase and maintain all this is just crippling. I had to dial it all down to Water Filters, like life straw and a really good Knife, a reliable wheel gun and ammo. and a Sick bug out vehicle that totally looks stock until you look inside or under neath. I built the Vehicle myself in secret. Not an option for most people. Just Sharing. Be vigilant and be Safe Ppl. The Shit show is about to be upon us. 04/03/2020
> Talks about money and time spent on maintaining a backpack.
> Goes on to describe a FUCKING 007 VEHICLE he built in secret, as an alternative to said backpack.
the hell?
Mmm, i get it, but try counting on your vehicle if it brakes on you and you have to leave it. Bugout bags are supposed to be the last resource of tools you will have, need, use and be able to take with you on foot if everything else fails. I actually dont have one setup, i have almost everything I can ever need on hand in my vehicle and an empty bag so I can fill it up and go according to the scenario. But maybe I will make a basic pack so I have less things to pack if i find myself on that nasty and creepy situation.
SF vet , still all about the compass n maps, lol. mad respect SGT MJ. thanks for teaching those Americans who wanna get more squared away.
Barry, sometimes it's hard, because we are supposed to be "Quiet Professionals." However, when I got ready to retire, my best friend told I was being "selfish" not sharing my knowledge with the next generation of warfighters & the general population. SO, here I am, trying to help others learn from my mistakes. Thanks for watching and thank you for your service. Strength & Honor, TR
Karl, this is by far one of the best "down to earth and reality" EDC vids I have watched. Will subscribe and watch more. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, TR
Did you catch hell for being named Carl in the military?
Dammit Carl******
Hell no, probably called him Carl Gustaf
Michael, they steered clear of him from day one because his name’s actually “Karl” with a “K,” and they knew that means business!
That's Karl.
Karl Schekter...i smell varmint poontang
I agree with grampa Karl, coffee is life....So is hate and spite but coffee tastes better in stateside :)
You just made me rethink my entire bag!
Everything in the bag "takes up no space"😂
Now I heard you were gonna be wearing silk pants in this video....what the heck !?
I can tell by the level at witch you wear your belt line that you have not only wisdom but the actual ability to-do what you're talking about you can tell alot about a man by were he wears his pants.
yeah, no.
@@Danuxsy uhh yes the lower under the belly button it is the younger you're the higher the older hes got his about an inch above which means he's got the age but still has thr physical ability toget the job done.
@@jakehansen3418 That doesn't make any sense, where your belt sits does not determine your physical strength nor anything else for that matter.
Try again.
Thanks Carl, I really appreciate your honesty and your experience. I'm 61 so I get what your saying about "Stuff". Kids these days just don't really know. Keep up the good work, and whatever products I buy, you can be assured it will be through your store on Amazon.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. Strength and Honor, TR
Don't tell people what beach you go to! Joking a side just found your channel. Great to the point content and you are the real deal.
Everyone are welcome to visit me on the beach. Friends are welcome to visit. Al Qaeda are welcome to kick sand on me all they want. I haven't had any excitement in 10 years. Hell, bring it on. Glad you found our channel. We put out a new video every Friday. Thanks for watching, TR
