My bag configuration change over the years, but getting older makes me really look at my gear since weight is an issue. Things like edc survival kit, which is placed in the pockets of my many pockets vest. When it’s time to roll I would pull out the vest and majority of supplies needed are already in the vest, quick and fast load. The large backpack with wheels is another changed I made, better for my back but when needed to cross streams or uneven terrain then it is strapped on to my back. Always carry heavy duty trash bags, it’s great for throwing all your gears in when it rains, and it has many uses like raincoat and automatic shelter. The little things goes into heavy duty ziplock bags, although pouches and hard cases are great they add weight. The only pouches I carry are 100% cotton drawstring bags, all empty and in different sizes. The pouches are cheap but has so many uses, including making char cloth with them when needed. The large ones are great as backpacks for lighter things and you have a ready strainer for water purification. My philosophy on three equivalent carry is basically an item can do at least three things or more and the other two is equivalent to it.
how does a trash bag make a shelter automatically
@@DrSchor Sit cross legged then cover yourself with the trash bag.
Hoping for the best preparing for the worse 🙏
Paracord has so many uses! My wife makes jewelry and sells it at some local stores. She took a bunch of tie on price tags to reprice some things at a store in town a half hour away a while back and called me to ask if I saw the string she was going to use because she couldn't find it once she got to the store and of course she'd left it sitting on the countertop at home. I told her to cut a piece of paracord from the hank I had in the back of the jeep and use the inner strands to tie on the new price tags. That saved the day, you never know when all this "prepper stuff" will come in handy. She laughs and shakes her head at some of the "prepper stuff" that I have in the vehicles and at home, right up until something like that happens and she needs it.
This stuff that is not waterproof should be packed in Ziploc bags
Vacuum.
Ok my friend but simple and quick no matter where you are at my friend
I use freezer Ziploc bags. They seem to be little more sturdier.
I agree my friend
@@toddb3105the only thing that stinks about vac packing kit items is putting them back in the bag when you’re done
If your compass is near any ferous metal (prybar, alkaline batteries, saw blade) within a few months it may be remagnetized away from North. Store them away from any feous metals, and check them at least annually.
Some times in a emergency situation a emergency manual to read can give you time to calm down and get a hold on the emergency situation and make better choices
Yes!
SAS Survival Manual by Lofty Wiseman in pocket size is great.
in which times will it help, and in which times will it not help
If I'm a longer distance from home, I take my folding garden cart. It will handle trails and some cross country like power lines and railroad tracks. My real concern is that if I'm more than 2 weeks from home, everything I left behind will be gone. If I travel more than 100 miles, I pack almost as much as I would in an INCH situation.
Very interesting. I’ve considered similar however never moved forward with it. What cart do you have?
Great Video. Super suggestion. Dec 24 2022, had to use my get home bag contents when a Pacific Northwest Storm blew into Oregon. At a hotel in a regional area where the electricity went out. High water, trees down, roads closed.
Had the chemical lights, some freeze dried meals. Had water, to boil with my Trangia Stove. We had a meal. (Hotel had…nothing. Did not even reimburse for the inconvenience. Totally on our own.)
Left the next day as the water receded and the roads open. Used the “get home bag” concept. It works. Could I have walked home in three or four days with the contents of the truck could not make it. You bet.
In a shelter, ear plugs and an eye mask will help you sleep. You'll be in a school gym with activity all around you. A matchbook sized sewing kit, and your own floss may be handy.
Agreed! In addition a set of playing cards will help against boredom in such a place - not only but especially with kids.
Prayin for Charlotte.
Amen. I'm still shook up.
You were all over the place with this one, my suggestion is that you add a smaller backpack to your get home pack so you cover the possibility of having to leave your vehicle. A comfortable pair of walking/hiking shoes might come in handy. 👍🏻🇦🇺
A jeep cap, like Radar wore on MASH, is a watch cap with a 2" brim, so it can keep the sun and rain out of your eyes while keeping your head warm.
You mentioned toilet paper/baby wipes, but a dedicated personal hygiene kit is important. Being able to brush your teeth, wash your hands and face, perhaps even bathe, etc is important to your long term health, and is also a morale booster. I'd add a small bag with toothbrush/toothpaste, a bar of soap, some hand sanitizer, Q-tips, nail clippers, and TP and keep them all together. Perhaps a wash cloth and hand towel too.
I concur. My bag isn't just to get home, but maybe I get stuck at work for a couple days. Since weight isn't an issue while in the vehicle, easier to have it and lose it if the weight becomes a concern.
I keep a hygiene kit as part of my “get home bag”. Good advice!
I love the Whisy Wipes.....they are the compact (coin sized) wipes and are super handy. I believe they come 150 to a box and they include a little tube to put about 10 of the coin wipes in. Also, if you need medical equipment i.e. CPAP machine - try getting the travel size, such the RespMed mini....it is easy to tote and works like the full sized unit (of course, being able to charge it is key)
I keep a couple of mosquito head nets in my bag too, it can double as a fishing net or one part of a water filter.
Same here!
how do you justify the weight and space of the second one.
a set of mosquito gloves is what you want, not two heat nets
@@DrSchor mosquito head nets don’t weigh much at all and to me the benefits outweigh the 1/2 ounce.
As far as the pencil sharpener, my buddy picked up a couple for us that are made from magnesium so if you needed to you could scrap it as well.
Lots of good stuff in that bag!
Great stuff, guys. Thanks.
Sometimes you have to stay off the road. We have big swamps next to the roads. How do we get around ? And there's iron pits, large lakes, try to find new ways.
Super helpful...thank you! I literally took notes. 😊🙌
Thanks, good load out.
Lets see Robbie go through and discus his Bag. Good show as usual.
One thing I learned to do in the military is to put a large garbage bag in my A4 bag then put my clothes & gear int the garbage bag to keep
everything dry.
Thank You ...
Good info to consider. I have most boxes checked for my needs
As far as a mini isobutane camp stove.. I would get something like a small rocket attachment and the smallest isoputane canister I could find.. not just for boiling or cooking things but to keep you warm.. perhaps you're in your car stuck in a blizzard.. you're out of gas or you can't run your car or your car doesn't start.. you can use the isobutane stove for keeping you warm..(crack the windows open for ventilation)
EBags makes a weekender type clamshell style duffel/backpack called The Motherload and Motherload Jr in two sizes that is similar to this. I have the smaller of the two, the Junior, and can easily pack clothing and toiletries, plus a first aid kit, phone accessories, laptop and spare eye glasses for 4 days, so there should definitely be room for everything you'd need in a get home bag in either the smaller or larger sizes. The full size one even has a waist belt and appears to have some stiffening foam on the back to make it more comfortable to carry. These bags don't scream tactical like a lot of bags do. Would be perfect as a car bag, not optimal for a get home bag if you had to carry it for hours or days, but in an emergency it would do the job. I've had my Motherload Junior for going on 10 years and have used it for cross country travel as well as weekend trips extensively and it still looks brand new.
Being in the landscape industry I can affirm real world results with the silky saws they’re amazing and nothing cuts like them! FYI Robbie the big boy is the katana boy😎👍
along with wet wipes of any flavor, a 'bath in a bag' may be a worthy addition. me personally, i do not like that slimy glycerine feel they leave but a slimy clean is better than no clean.
a bar of hotel soap or a small bar of ivory soap in the pack would be a good part of the hygene section.
on your bug repellant suggestion, DEET will soften/melt plastic. something to be aware of. wet wipes do a good job getting it off the grippers.
Great info. I usually have two or three bags in my vehicle and a couple of totes with tools and other items. I carry more than I would want to put into my main bag weight wise. Depending on the situation, I add or take things to my main pack. If I'm 3 plus days out, I'm packing more. A day or two and I'm not going to carry much more than I need. I can customize my pack in just a few minutes depending on what I think I may face on the way home. I'm the CERT Commander in my county, so I carry a lot of things most people wouldn't.
I'm an old backpacker who grew up in the mountains of upstate NY, but I live in SE VA now. I keep a day pack with 10 essentials supplies (including wool socks) for 2-3 days in the back of my car. There's a folding shovel, wool blanket, fleece blanket, cat litter, an electronic jump starter & tie inflater, and a solid first aid kit (certified Wilderness First Aid) all in a trunk organizer. If I had to leave my vehicle, I'd take my day pack. I wouldn't be comfy, but I'd survive. Hammock systems are as heavy as tent systems. I prefer a tent system for long term backpacking. I have a good emergency bivy for my day pack.
Hi there, Thanks for going through your bug out bag, very interesting . Do you have a packing list or any links to the items you choose? Thank you.
Love it all. My question is what does that get home bag weigh? The assumption is that you’ll be on foot and the less cumbersome you’re bag is the faster you can move without pain. But all great ideas. Thanks for your content and the work that goes into it.
Remember to follow your local or state laws regarding blade length of knives some localities have restrictions on the length things like double edge illegal definitely carry some quality pepper spray my favorite is saber red 360 police unit... Another way to defend yourself carry a large heavy padlock I usually use the laminated ones they can even be from harbor freight string a bandana through the shackle hold both ends you now have a viable bludgeon/ blackjack for self-defense keep the lock in your back pocket with the bandana hanging out and if you are pulled over you can always pull one end of the bandana and slide it out from the lock part and you just have a lock in your back pocket completely legal
We had a recent ice storm here in Oregon and dozens of vehicles and tractor trailers went off the road. Interstate traffic was stopped all night and people were trapped in their vehicles. Be prepared folks.
I highly recommend start watching long distance thru-hikers like "Darwin on the Trail" and "Homemade Wanderlust" (Dixie) on TH-cam. The regular person's 40 mile trek from the car back to home is going to feel like you might as well be hiking to Mount Everest base camp. Dan Becker is not a long distance thru hiker like the others, but he has the best hiking equipment and gadget reviews on his TH-cam channel. With thru-hikers, well, you really start to realize what you can live with and without when you are hiking all the way from Mexico to Canada, for example, on the Pacific Crest Trail. Now, they have food, fuel, and sometimes even footwear and seasonal clothing restocks along the way, but packing like an ultralight hiker might be the key for most people. I would venture to say not a lot of people can get real far with a 60 pound pack on their back. Ultralight thru hikers can give you tips on the best ultralight backpacks, tents, food, water, and basic survival! None of them carry saws or hammers. Those are the first things discarded on the trail because they simply are too heavy. Every ounce matters when your body is screaming and your shoulders are blistered from the straps of your backpack. Start with the first two hikers mentioned above. (And I just find Dan enjoyable to watch even though, like I said he isn't a long-distance hiker.) Both Darwin and Dixie from Homemade Wanderlust are well respected and experienced thru-hikers with extensive knowledge. Dixie will give great tips from a woman's point of view. You are just trying to get home, not build a log cabin. A light bag is going to be key for 99.9% people.
I'm surprised that you don't include a little fishing kit and a pellet gun.....or maybe you have and I've missed it. As someone who lives very rural in Western Canada, I could live on fish, deer, quail, birds, rabbits and squirrels. All can be easily taken with an airgun except deer that requires no powder and thousands of rounds can be purchased for next to nothing. The best benefit is that none of my neighbours will be expecting diner because they heard the shot. Big cartridges might be more effective if you want to live on moose, but they will be gone in short order once SHTF. A good pellet gun, trap snares, fishing gear and a way to cook it is the most essential items. Most prepper videos I watch focus on monster weapons for self defence, or 22 LR which is way to loud unless you want dinner company. Maybe you should do a video on how to keep fed WTSHF on a very quiet level...
Useful information
For the young person make sure he can draw the water up in the water straw. Those or some of them are hard to get with through
It's always a pleasure to see you two young'uns and to hear Sarah Mac. 💯
How much does your bag weigh with contents?
You mentioning the about your friend doing the Appalachian mountains I just got finished reading some serious things about that location that many people have died trying to do it'.
What model Northgate duffle is that, they make a bunch if different ones
Great video and information.
Question... I've heard and read several folks slamming Benchmade. What happened with them? What's the deal?
The people will help each other in case of a disaster? Not kill each other to get 10 oz of rice? New insights I congratulate you for! Because this is the experience made in disasters again and again.
I like to my ghb to be more realistic for application, for more common events. While having the nesassary items, but also having items for if i want to go:
Impromtu swimming after work, hike, end up staying at friends place, stuck in traffic, heading to the city for the day. More of a get home later than i planned bag.
Ive thought of having little paper bags to give out to ppl stuck on thr side of the road. Stop and see if they're ok, give them some water, snacks, tp, wipes ? Could be caught unprepared and have kids or pets. Or homeless ppl.
Ziploc freezer bag hygiene kits are easily made with items from the dollar store and the bag can be used to hold water.
What's the name of the battery container you use?
Robby earned the like this time
Bug out bag full of survival supplies you still have to carry it if you must
Maybe I missed it but what is the weight of your loaded bag? Do you have a max weight limit for your get home bag?
48:50 Along with an items, have your child learn skills, including basic life skills, not only bushcraft. (Learning to tie knots is a life skill. Cleaning is a life skill. Cooking is a life skill. Math is a life skill. Putting things in the same spot when not actively in use is a life skill. - It doesn't matter what item the boy has purchased if he can't find it.) Start with items of everyday carry and how they could be used.
Being a female I like wheels on my bags, I can just drag it around
Makes me question if there’s a frame with all terrain type tires that someone could strap/secure their pack/bag to?
@@paemtff9412 yes theres a beach cart with all terrain tyres, one has a shade cover too
@paemtff9412 there are folding wagons with all terrain wheels
Does a double walled container really explode? Normally the space between the walls are filled with nothing (vaccum). So it shouldn't explode, it could only implode if the outer wall gets so hot that it gets "soft". But I think this would be not dangerous. The problem with a two walled container and the try to boil water in it: it insulates very well and so the water will not get hot.
Y'all might laugh, but I carry a vacuum sealed pipe (just an inexpensive cob that I had spare) and a bit of tobacco in my GHB. No, not the new green cash crop, not my thing personally,, but good old fashioned Prince Albert or whatever type you prefer. It's not a habit thing (I keep some Zyn pouches sealed in there for that... Yes I should quit but an emergency is no time for that), but the pipe is a methodical, contemplative, relaxing thing for me. A semblance of normalcy. If the poo was hitting the rotating whirligig, FOR ME, it would give me that one little bit of peace that would let me think and take stock in things. Certainly not for everybody, I know, but if you enjoy such a thing, it's something to consider adding. Cigars would be an option too, but I think they wouldn't keep as well over time like pipe tobacco would.
The large bag in front of you. You could have a golf bag. It looks normal and you can pull it easy. Other things can be used for lots of things.
There are foldable sportsman “carts” used to help move deer out of the woods. I’ve considered one of them however never considered a golf bag (I’m not a golfer) Don’t they have quite small wheels?
You should make videos about you actually using these items or being in the situation to use these items
Can you address the Ruger mini 14
The mora for kids is worth looking at I think it’s the scout
Gloves!!!!
50:30 I've come to the conclusion of taking my get home bag down with me out of my vehicle due to the heat in the area where I live. I've left it in my vehicle before and had some issues with supplies getting damaged, even if the bag was not in direct sunlight. It's just too hot. If it's a quick in and out somewhere, it stays put away, if it's during the winter, no problem.
Anyone else out there with this issue?
Everyone says BIC lighters are great after the fuel is gone ...
BUT ... the "flint" in them disintegrates ... whether from getting wet or just from age ( might last a year or two )
Qeustion: do you guys review others people GHB/EDC?
43:57 Rack. Keeps bed mostly open, if that's the goal. Some racks go over the cab and even out to the front bumper.
50:00 source your Sillcock Keys very carefully. There are many of them being sold which are not in spec, and they generally cost the same as the good ones.
Thanks for the heads up. 🙌 Is there a brand you know of that is legit I should look for?
@@elwiub Mine are Husky. I forgot to add, regardless of where you buy yours, test them ASAP to be sure they're in spec. They are potentially life-saving tools.
My issue is wanting to pack my GHB to the point where it is a BOB. What are some things that i dont need in my GHB
Check out the through hikers and what they carry. They walk from Mexico to Canada, resupplying every few days. They will tell you what you need for a three day walk.
Rob, buy a Mystery Ranch 😉
nothing about water purification?
Big greeding vom germany ❤
What about coffee?
Which North Face duffel bag is it? Oh, 32 liter...
Great video
I've got some of the Pathfinder stuff and it's awesome!
I personally do not care for lifeboat food.. I checked it out and it's just too heavy I like Clif bars power bars and like that small MREs possibly but just a few mostly stuff you can eat on the go without cooking or boiling water definitely don't forget containers to put the water in and remember water is going to be your heaviest thing you're carrying but definitely I put two different kinds of water purification tabs one is aqua tabs ready in 30 minutes but does not kill cryptosporidium the other one is katadyne .. which kills cryptosporidium but does 4 hours to purify I also take along a aqua mira water straw or a LifeStraw.. a Sawyer mini is great in fact they have a Sawyer water bottle with a sawyer mini inside for $20 at Walmart...
Love ur informative information. We’re only hour away from u. Would love to meet up in person. Do u do meet & greet? We’re in Charleston SC. We don’t have any friends here. And the neighbors aren’t very friendly.
10:29 A simple solution to the shoulder straps issue, you can add it to a packout frame used for hunting.
A question is I live in Arizona it can be 120 to 130° in the shade is that little stove gonna blow up in a hot car the fuel can
I'm in Texas. I don't keep butane, propane, gas, or compressed ANYTHING in my car in the summer. Dangerous.
What did benchmade do?
What if you travel with your support animal ? IE dog
My seat belt cutter and window punch are where I can get to them in case of an accident. Just sayin' :) OH, edited to add: When my big van was on the road, I had a set of those plastic drawers in the back with emergency equipment. And one thing I had was something to do if I had to wait for a tow truck. A novel, a puzzle book.
Para cord has its Purpose but not as a main cord
Learn how to use a firestick or fire bow will still get you a fire, even if you've lost all your gear.
Here is a tip I came up with after a friend lost everything in an apartment fire. If your car has keyless entry keep a change of clothes and shoes in the trunk of your car. If you are left Standing in the yard in your pjs, no keys, no I’d having clothes and shoes would be a godsend, well before the Red Cross can step in. Also give a copy of your important docs to a family friend on a password protected usb drive, makes recovery easier. Multiple copies to different people at different locals, even better!
What did benchmade do now?
Buy books on survival skills and supplies
TH-cam keeps unsubscribeing me immediately after I subscribe to your channel and lots of others. 🤬
Fire bans may make starting a fire illegal and very unsafe
Learning survival skills and practicing and practicing and practicing your survival skills
HELLO GTSY AGAIN
What are those bars called? Life bars?
SOS Emergency Food Ration. Hope that's what you wanted to know. I have the 3600 cal pack or 3-days supply at 1200/day. Small amount of calories because it's meant for people in a lifeboat waiting to be rescued. Stay prepared.
@@godofthunder808 Thanks!
J'ESPÈRE QUE TOUS VA YOU ME FRIEND LONGTIME 😊😉
woobies are great and i thoroughly enjoy mine but a wool blanket kept in a vehicle may be a better option.
for those that frequent gun shows or army-navy stores, milsurp flight bags and milsurp duffles.
for those of us with pickups with tonneau covers.....hard side lockers. i got a couple home depot med sized. keeping an empty backpack in can give you a degree of mobility when you have to adandon the chariot.
Woobie is fluff gear. Military guys have a fondness for them but I couldn't care less. They are easily replaced with other better items.
I’d like to see what’s in your edc’s.
Changing doesn't mean evolving...it's development its still a survival bag..evolution suggests it turns into a helicopter and Flys you away....great video...I would like to see different ways to make your bag lighter...weight is crucial especially if on Foot..and possibly carry a carbine rifle pistol etc....
What other firearms do you actually carry them with you? And then I'm lacing them too, but just asking and you're a buckle bag.
Just remember boys and girls, if you never leave home you don't need a get home bag.
32:17 They probably don't "EXPLODE!!".... the insulated bottle will just take forever to boil on a fire, because well, it's also insulated from heat getting to the inside. Also, you're really carrying twice as much bottle, and one is useless.
Exploding bottles seem to never be caught on camera. It sounds like myth to me. Coalcracker Bushcraft did a video on it, I encourage you to check it out. If you can prove otherwise, please make a video. If you are unaware, the gas inside the insulated portion is inert, likely argon. That means it is not flammable, it is not an oxygenate, it won't expand or contract as much as atmosphere. If it were charged with regular atmosphere, it would explode just from leaving it in a hot car. Do some science here, and I think you'll find that it's a tough case to stand behind, and not a hill you want to die on.
Maybe I'm wrong, and you should keep teaching this. But I think you should really examine what you're teaching on this public platform.

You're in the minority. We love the sootch00 talk.
No such thing as new and improved. If it was new then it never previously existed therefore you can’t improve it. Beware of greed and selling out.
always remeber ounces equal pain
"Ounces equal pounds & pounds equal pain." These days you could be right because the older I get the heavier I get & I'd have to rethink the contents of my bag again.
