it's funny you know..... everyone forgets to pack multivitamins. its the best way to make sure your getting in those extra vitamins and minerals that your small meal might not provide you with.
The thing with a bug out bag is it’s only supposed to last you until you get somewhere better. I’m no nutritionist but I reckon most of us could last 3-5 days before we run into trouble. That said maybe a few berocca would be worth adding.
Too many "bug-out bags," that I've seen, have everything but a shelter for the night. You've got it covered though, hammock, tarp, emergency bivy, awesome! In my opinion, a good nights rest is very important. I've only backpacked a week at a time, but I know, if I didn't have a warm dry place to sleep in, every night, my outlook would look pretty dim. I would love to see what your winter setup is. Thanks for sharing! ATB, David.
HB Hiker couldn't agree more, I;m 18 and I started prepping a few years ago, that is my planned shelter kit, a hammock tarp and either bed roll of bivy, it's not that cold here in the south and about the coldest it gets if 15 at night,[ has gotten 0]
Gotta have socks and underwear. We vacuum seal them just to get them smaller for the bag. Sone things people don't think about. Wife has... um... she um... doesn't wear a small bra. Its very uncomfortable for her to go without one so in her bug out bag, she has two, along with underwear and socks, vacuum sealed in separate bags. Being dry is important but so is being as comfortable as possible.
One thing I added to my medical kit which I believe is pretty important and most people probably don't think of . is a set of nail clippers I believe that's pretty important you've gotta rely in your hands and feet .. FYI love your videos
Great series. i love that you kept it concise, too many people want to talk to long on each item. love how you just rolled through the kit, showed what you chose to put in and relayed the fact that if someone wanted more info they could check out your other videos. WELL done sir. i wish more people would make their video's the way you did.
Your bug out bag videos pt1 and 2 were the inspiration for me when i started building my own. March will be a year and I'm hoping my INCH bag will be finished. I just wanted to say thanks and i would love to see your winter loadout in a new set of videos.
Great video, I really like that you don't put a bunch of food in there. Three days of food, even cryovaced took up a ton of space. Still working on getting the Kelty bag soon.
its crazy how close my kit resembles yours and yet i live across the country but one thing you didn't mention or maybe forgot to include to your bag is ammo, spare mags, and ways to maintain the guns as well just some thing i spotted and figured id mention it just encase . over all a great video and well thought out set up.
Thats a great kit. I saw some items i will add to mine. I went and bought one of those state maps and cut out the page that covers my county and the one anoint to it. Its a topo as you stated your moving to a rally point where others will also be headed. Thats a great idea Iv something similar planed but have a 2nd and 3rd rally point incase for what ever reason there is a problem this is one of the best reasons for the binos. The map also has most of the water ways. With the map say your path is blocked it lets me quickly determine another rout being topo finding the low rout or high. In doing so we have determined qwick messages to leave it could be a known path with the largest hardwood halfway to the rally point as to where a simple 1 2 or 3 marked to tell others where you are now going or GPS heading also a place to leave warning 1 no go and such or a cache of info and supplies. As you know plans can change as fast as stepping in a pile of crap. I used the clear 4 inch wide packing tape over lapped a half a inch to water proof it and keep it folded in a baggy with a small note pad and pencil. Of course some may think this is over kill but in a SHTF situation your tired may have family with you or meeting them being worried about others having this there is less stress its been worked out just follow the plan as much as you can with the knowledge they are as well. You will feel better your head will be clearer for other issues and a better mind set will help keep yours and the others moral up and thats a big part of any SHTF situation
Great pack! Just a small piece of advice, maybe get more dry bags for all the super important gear just incase you fall into a river or become soaking wet :) also throw in some seeds for a garden, they're super light and more valuable than gold.
also a possibility of a combination of millitary excape & Evason gear mixed with ultralight backpacking gear setup also being able to grayman if needed to blend in not stand out with a tactical kit gathering intelligence of what's going on around and keeping a good log .
I used to use those same dry sacks but I have found one by sea to summit event compression sack that is 100% waterproof and it is compressible! I would look into changing they are around $10 more a sack but well worth it.
very well done video. very informative. I have heard other guys say forget batteries and battery powered stuff because they will die. I wonder if rechargeables might not be the way to go with a solar charger for recharging.
You should include an extra wallet with extra cash, some silver, some basic medical supplies (bandages and such) and an extra drivers license, and even a prepaid credit card (cause you just never know).
Do you use a chest rig i conjunction with this bag for extra mags, mounting a knife or a pistol?? Seems like if you are carrying food in a separate bag and all of this stuff in your vehicle that on your exit from the vehicle that you could gear up. Chest rig, pistol rig, etc. Save some space in your pack for some different items such as a small felling axe or a foldable crosscut saw. A kukri or machete maybe. Was very happy to see the survival .22. Most imprtant for small game. Extra ammo is easy too. Bigger game procurement can be taken care of easily and quietly with a good sling bow and six arrows with broadheads. Very light and compact too. All in all a very nice pack and load out devoid of trinkets and kitch. Everything seems mil spec and in tune with your training and military background. Thanks for the info.
Great video I saw both parts, took notes...In the future please don’t assume that your audience knows how important any item is. Also, making clear what the item is called is very helpful for investigating whether or not one would use said item... There are lots of beginners out there that could use the help. Thanks for what you do.
I still have much to add to my BOB. Radio Communication and Weather Items for the Immediate Climate. Thanks, BlackScout. Oh, and holy crap with the redundancies. Love em.
Can't find our past comments, here, to each other from my tablet, (Johann Kuester), but I was more than a little surprised by your last one. I had the idea from watching a few of your past videos that you were open to suggestions and comments but your vulgarity in this last one took me by surprise, to say the least. I was attempting to suggest things from my experience, not flip you out, but you're in a much darker place than I ever expected out of you. Back when I was in the military, things were different, I suppose, I'm now 68. The training we had and how we went about it in the Army is way different these days, I'm sure, and I do know what it takes to survive. And I get it that you're into equipment, I love the stuff too, and its all fun and I'm glad to see you're having a great time with it. I like the videos I've seen of yours. They're pretty cool but as an Army Ranger, I picked up a few things too. I got caught up in loving the climbing and repelling part of it, the survival training, the urban survival, all of it, so I get these videos of yours. Later, when I got out of the military, I got into climbing in a big way and worked as a Climbing Ranger in the Tetons. Did a lot of rescue and body bag recovery but the point I was trying to make you see was so much of the stuff people carry is unnecessary to survive and thrive out there and I see this with a lot guys here on TH-cam. Very few of them go about it in a real, true life way. Anyway, I do wish you well, and I am sorry you took my suggestions as a criticism of you, personally. There weren't.. Sorry to say, I won't be commenting anymore or watching your videos so there's no need to reply. Just thought I'd set the record straight and say there's no hard feelings on my part. Good luck out there partner. I know you'll have a great time in the woods.
Oh man. My apologies. I didn't know you were signing off rainbow hiker as your name. I thought you were calling me rainbow hiker like trying to insult me. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Hi.enjoyed your vid really excellent kit.seems you got all avenues covered,with the view probably not going back home once buged out. One thing wven i just picked up on a while ago. your lighters the fuel one, wrap a bit of wire round the top just below the press button so it wont get accidentally suppressed and leak liquid fuel inside to other items.k mate.But overall brill vid.
i like your seri pin good gear and ultralight i often think hammock have there good points and bad ones i have been messing with a sub 7 oz hammock more using it to just take a break with rest than actually sleeping in it in combination with a true 2 pound 4 ounce ultralight tent .
I would suggest for your watch is get a g-shock military version because you don't need to carry extra batteries it is charged by solar power just wearing it will charge it
In my opinion, the stuff in my BOB shouldn't be used. Its there for a reason. We know what's there and how to use it all. But its the difference between an IFAK and a first aid kit on your garage wall. First aid kit is there to be used, and items replaced as required. An IFAK needs to be complete WHEN you need it. We keep adding and removing stuff from the BOBs as time goes by, but what goes in, is new and doesn't get used. Not gonna use the Firestarter for the weekend bonfire and forget to put it back. Everything in my BOB looks unused because that's what it is.
I’d love to see a list linked to these videos. It would be really useful. Me personally I live in Australia so leaving out a hat, sunscreen and insect repellant seems weird if any of those are left out. I’d also always add hand sanitiser and ladies watching don’t forget the products for us. So many of these are made by men, we have extra requirements don’t forget. 🙂🤔 I also keep a pair of sneakers and clean socks at work, I wear heels to work which would not be comfortable if I had to walk home instead of the train. I have a bag like this in my car but I’m not usually in my car, I’m at work most of my week so that was a natural thing to think about.
Once again, great video. I'd like to see one of your short survival quick tip or quick review type of video on that 550 from SGT KNOTS. I hope you also do a review on both the med kit and SERE kit I believe you called it in the first video.
I always feel like if you have a pack with too much stuff, or a lot of stuff, you begin to forget what you have haha. When in a rush it makes it so much harder to keep organised as well
Thanks for the solid and well thought out process approach you have. Again, thank you for taking the time to assist me with my preps. GOD bless this great country of ours.
Good video. What is your est. distance traveled per day? Most avg. 10 miles per day with 30lb+ ruck off road. With those estimates you'd need to be within 30-40 miles of your new AO/BOL when you had to start humping with a 3 day ruck before things start to run out. If you need to hump for more than 3 days you need you need foraging, hunting, fishing supplies to survive. Good video.
Not to freak you out anymore than you probably already are, waiting for your bag from them, but ive seen so many people being ripped off by USCAV. I just ordered my Kelty Falcon 66 pack from midwayusa.com and it will be here in a few days. Really great customer service from them as well. My best advice is get your money back from USCRAP and try midwayusa or someone else. I paid 263 total. No tax sense im out of state.
Great video, would have liked to see some more of the fanny/shoulder go bag that comes with the pack, & how about that GPS unit, that was cool. If you haven't reviewed GPS units & using them for orientation, direction & location, how about a video on that. Thanks for taking the time bro, great stuff.
BlackScoutSurvival Sorry saw part 1 several days ago & totally forgot you did unpack it & show how you prepped it. Sometimes not all the cylinders fire, spark plugs getting old &fouled...LoL. How bout the possibility of a GPS review? Great option but the only one I know how to use is the one in the car, & that's when I can punch in the right dang address.
Id love to see a video of your thoughts on bug out bag mentally for a family. Everybody shows a personal bag but there is other things to be considered if you have a wife and kids. Do each family member have a fully stocked bag or does dad carry the main gear and wife and kids carry more personal items.. You can cut it 20 different ways. Id love to hear your thoughts on a family setup. I go back and forth with it and cant seem to find a setup I like. Thanks for the awesome videos..
I may have missed it, but the only water treatment I saw was the steripen and the tablets. Do you not carry a gravity filter? That would be my first go to, as a kit can be hung on the outside of a bag to filter on the move if necessary.
Great video and one of the best functional bug out bags I've seen. I'm definitely going to look into that pack as an upgrade from my current ruck. Keep these vids coming...
I notice you have the solar panel but very few things to charge with it. No coms? Do you use any coms? I find that my set up is probably 25% geared towards communication in one form or another.
The biggest thing that I've learned from making bug out bags is that you need to bring at least double the amount of stuff that you would need for your trip because it's not a survival bag, it's a bug up bag to help you get from your main location to your emergency location. However, long it's going to take whether it's days or a week or more. You need enough food, water and supplies to help you get there. But it's almost always going to be setbacks when you actually need your bug out bag. So take at least double the amount of necessities if you can fit it in your bag because you're almost always going to need them by the time you need your bag. There have been so many people I've known that have needed about it go back and they want to test it and they came back like I need more of this. I'm completely out of this. I used up all the resources that I had in my bag and I brought so many things I didn't need because they had setbacks and they didn't reach a destination in time by the time they ran out of the materials and stuff you need to be prepared. Bottom line, so if you can fit enough food and your supplies to last double or even triple the time that it's supposed to take, then you will be much better prepared and you'll be much safer.
When it comes to bug out bags it should weigh ideally no more than like 20 percent of your body weight. Best to keep it small. Also bugging out should be last resort and never a first idea unless you absolutely have to because all your preps will be at home. If it goes South, the first place to head should be home. Keep the bug out bag in your vehicle as a get home bag so you have the necessary tools to get you home if things get sticky while you're at school or perhaps work, or just out on the town! Its awesome nonetheless to see people want to learn this stuff!
I have a question for you how far away is your bug out if you had to leave town how far away is it is it a pretty good distance is a rich area? Just trying to decide where to pick my bug out here in Colorado
I have 2 1 liter bottles [ old English style canteen and nalgeen] I will be buying a sawyer mini and a life straw, I also have a small pot to boil in, but hten again your environment is different than mine probably, here we have water coming out of almost every rock lol
Devil!... I really enjoy your channel, great job! I would really like your input on how things change when you have a family and need to bug out. ie., wife, kids, babies etc. That bug out bag will probably change a little with others involved. Maybe make a video out of it. On the side note, you look familiar, where were you stationed and what MOS?
His bag is better than most out there, but I think taking c4 or any pre-workout supplement in a survival situation would be a terrible idea. You'd be burning a ton of calories you wouldn't be able to replace.
I come across this Buy-out Bug-in phrase only recently. What are you American guys preparing for exactly? I'm from England. Is there something I should know, because it's not just a few of you, there's a whole scene of these preppers or what ever it's called?
it's funny you know..... everyone forgets to pack multivitamins. its the best way to make sure your getting in those extra vitamins and minerals that your small meal might not provide you with.
The only problem is, that most multivitamins use cheap forms of vitamins, that our body can't absorb, and they become a burden instead of nutrition.
feltingme
Ummmm.... Naw
They are in my bag, see the video I mention above.
The thing with a bug out bag is it’s only supposed to last you until you get somewhere better. I’m no nutritionist but I reckon most of us could last 3-5 days before we run into trouble. That said maybe a few berocca would be worth adding.
Seeds for a garden!
One of the best bug out bag videos I have seen. Inconvenient camping. Love it.
Living Survival thank you brother
BlackScoutSurvival wow both of my favorite shtf preppers on one comment.
Looks like you have the bases pretty well covered in this bug out bag. Thanks for sharing your valuable experience.
Too many "bug-out bags," that I've seen, have everything but a shelter for the night. You've got it covered though, hammock, tarp, emergency bivy, awesome! In my opinion, a good nights rest is very important. I've only backpacked a week at a time, but I know, if I didn't have a warm dry place to sleep in, every night, my outlook would look pretty dim. I would love to see what your winter setup is. Thanks for sharing! ATB, David.
HB Hiker couldn't agree more, I;m 18 and I started prepping a few years ago, that is my planned shelter kit, a hammock tarp and either bed roll of bivy, it's not that cold here in the south and about the coldest it gets if 15 at night,[ has gotten 0]
I believe that the hammock he had is also a shelter.
Was I the only one that saw that bug crawl into the bag at 1 min. Haha. Great video btw!
+Brandon Bryan No we all did but he flicked it off
Kronos Gaming I think he meant the ant lol.
Shaggy B protein lol
Kronos Gaming Of course he did bug *out* bag
Bug in bag
So good to see someone pack socks, not many think about it. But when it comes down to it your feet are your main tools!! Take care of them 🤘🏻👍🏻
Gotta have socks and underwear. We vacuum seal them just to get them smaller for the bag. Sone things people don't think about. Wife has... um... she um... doesn't wear a small bra. Its very uncomfortable for her to go without one so in her bug out bag, she has two, along with underwear and socks, vacuum sealed in separate bags.

Great video, I really like that you don't put a bunch of food in there. Three days of food, even cryovaced took up a ton of space. Still working on getting the Kelty bag soon.
its crazy how close my kit resembles yours and yet i live across the country
but one thing you didn't mention or maybe forgot to include to your bag is ammo,
spare mags, and ways to maintain the guns as well
just some thing i spotted and figured id mention it just encase .
over all a great video and well thought out set up.
Squared away like a Rubik’s cube brother. The old grunt in me got butterflies.
Thats a great kit. I saw some items i will add to mine. I went and bought one of those state maps and cut out the page that covers my county and the one anoint to it.

Finally a bug out bag video that isn't just a dude jabbering about nonsense the whole time. Great videos, man.
Great pack! Just a small piece of advice, maybe get more dry bags for all the super important gear just incase you fall into a river or become soaking wet :) also throw in some seeds for a garden, they're super light and more valuable than gold.

I used to use those same dry sacks but I have found one by sea to summit event compression sack that is 100% waterproof and it is compressible! I would look into changing they are around $10 more a sack but well worth it.
Jeff Woolverton I've seen them, I'm happy with mine
Just a friendly suggestion.
I'm slowly putting one together and one thing I do have is a Geertop rocket stove, one of my first purchases this year. Great video!
very well done video. very informative. I have heard other guys say forget batteries and battery powered stuff because they will die. I wonder if rechargeables might not be the way to go with a solar charger for recharging.
I keep a flashlight that runs on AAA BATTERIES,
A RECHARGEABLE STREAMLIGHT STINGER
CORDS FOR EVERYTHING & A SOLAR POWER CHARGER.
You should include an extra wallet with extra cash, some silver, some basic medical supplies (bandages and such) and an extra drivers license, and even a prepaid credit card (cause you just never know).

A rare earth magnet would be a nice item to add to a kit.
It can get things that is out of reach that can be used in a survival situation .
Excellent Pack!
I have really learned a lot from your videos. You certainly have opened my eyes to alot I wouldn't have thought to do.
Salute~
Great video I saw both parts, took notes...In the future please don’t assume that your audience knows how important any item is. Also, making clear what the item is called is very helpful for investigating whether or not one would use said item...
There are lots of beginners out there that could use the help.
Thanks for what you do.
I still have much to add to my BOB. Radio Communication and Weather Items for the Immediate Climate. Thanks, BlackScout. Oh, and holy crap with the redundancies. Love em.
My bag is well stocked and well thought out, but I still got several good tips of advice. Good gear ideas too!

Gave me some ideas to add in my own bags.
I would suggest for your watch is get a g-shock military version because you don't need to carry extra batteries it is charged by solar power just wearing it will charge it
Shane Zartman no i like this one
Nice gear. Lots of things. Looks like never been used.

Great job. The one thing i came across is the cold steel spetsnaz combat throwing shovel. Razor Sharp out of the box. Take alook. Thanks for the vid.

Thanks for linking part 2 in the description. Hardly anyone does that.
You've got an ant in your pack ! XD
YOLOit'sJUSTus -_- !!! i saw it too
When will you do the edc sere kit and med kit videos? I'm really stoked to see it.
Here's a suggestion for a meal replacement . Get some muscle mass or gainer from the vitamin shop
Good video. What is your est. distance traveled per day? Most avg. 10 miles per day with 30lb+ ruck off road. With those estimates you'd need to be within 30-40 miles of your new AO/BOL when you had to start humping with a 3 day ruck before things start to run out. If you need to hump for more than 3 days you need you need foraging, hunting, fishing supplies to survive.
Good video.
I'm surprised so few people carry Gu in a bug out bag. great compact source of energy. I have a couple in my EDC actually.
great video, I have been waiting for mine from U.S. Cavalry since Oct 2015
Not to freak you out anymore than you probably already are, waiting for your bag from them, but ive seen so many people being ripped off by USCAV. I just ordered my Kelty Falcon 66 pack from midwayusa.com and it will be here in a few days. Really great customer service from them as well. My best advice is get your money back from USCRAP and try midwayusa or someone else. I paid 263 total. No tax sense im out of state.

Part 1 covers the fanny pack/lid
BlackScoutSurvival Sorry saw part 1 several days ago & totally forgot you did unpack it & show how you prepped it. Sometimes not all the cylinders fire, spark plugs getting old &fouled...LoL. How bout the possibility of a GPS review? Great option but the only one I know how to use is the one in the car, & that's when I can punch in the right dang address.
Great kit very comprehensive.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together! many good ideas!
Id love to see a video of your thoughts on bug out bag mentally for a family. Everybody shows a personal bag but there is other things to be considered if you have a wife and kids. Do each family member have a fully stocked bag or does dad carry the main gear and wife and kids carry more personal items.. You can cut it 20 different ways. Id love to hear your thoughts on a family setup. I go back and forth with it and cant seem to find a setup I like. Thanks for the awesome videos..
Would love to see a video of this bag in winter kit.
I may have missed it, but the only water treatment I saw was the steripen and the tablets. Do you not carry a gravity filter? That would be my first go to, as a kit can be hung on the outside of a bag to filter on the move if necessary.
Steripen will clean much more water than filters. With my recharging capabilities. It's pretty much Will last forever.
One of the better videos. Great job and stay the course.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Great video and one of the best functional bug out bags I've seen.
I'm definitely going to look into that pack as an upgrade from my current ruck.
Keep these vids coming...
I sure appreciate you sharing these vids with us. Really gave me some nice tips. Thanks for what you do.
I notice you have the solar panel but very few things to charge with it. No coms? Do you use any coms? I find that my set up is probably 25% geared towards communication in one form or another.
The biggest thing that I've learned from making bug out bags is that you need to bring at least double the amount of stuff that you would need for your trip because it's not a survival bag, it's a bug up bag to help you get from your main location to your emergency location. However, long it's going to take whether it's days or a week or more. You need enough food, water and supplies to help you get there. But it's almost always going to be setbacks when you actually need your bug out bag. So take at least double the amount of necessities if you can fit it in your bag because you're almost always going to need them by the time you need your bag. There have been so many people I've known that have needed about it go back and they want to test it and they came back like I need more of this. I'm completely out of this. I used up all the resources that I had in my bag and I brought so many things I didn't need because they had setbacks and they didn't reach a destination in time by the time they ran out of the materials and stuff you need to be prepared. Bottom line, so if you can fit enough food and your supplies to last double or even triple the time that it's supposed to take, then you will be much better prepared and you'll be much safer.
When it comes to bug out bags it should weigh ideally no more than like 20 percent of your body weight. Best to keep it small. Also bugging out should be last resort and never a first idea unless you absolutely have to because all your preps will be at home. If it goes South, the first place to head should be home. Keep the bug out bag in your vehicle as a get home bag so you have the necessary tools to get you home if things get sticky while you're at school or perhaps work, or just out on the town! Its awesome nonetheless to see people want to learn this stuff!
What size dry sack is that, if you don't mind telling me?
What about a shovel? One of the best tools in my bag
Doesn't make sense to me in a bug out scenario. I don't see the application being practical. I rarely ever need to dig holes.
this video by far is my favorite video were and how much is that solar panel set up
Awesome bug out system, can you drop a link to the dry sac with crush proof compartment? I want something waterproof to store my solar charger in.
Great Bug Out video! Love the Henry rifle!
Love your vids-Please help me decifer @7.36,what is that brand and model please
Nice video. What do you do about convection? I didnt seem to bring an uq or pad
Great bag brother. Arguably the best I've seen. A great help to fine tune my needs.
I appreciate the input greatly
Thanks. Appreciate it brother
An ant just crawled into his (BUG OUT)bag am I the only one that sees the irony😂😂
Where can i get that woodland camo rain jacket?
I have a question for you how far away is your bug out if you had to leave town how far away is it is it a pretty good distance is a rich area? Just trying to decide where to pick my bug out here in Colorado
Good review. Helps to see what other people are using.
You should get the steripen with USB socket to charge it with your solar panel
Great info ! I have a good list of items for my bag. Thank You Sir !
That week to get pt. 2 seemed to take forever. Thanks for sharing
where did u get that hand crank radio/ Flashlight / Mobile charger at ? the red one 5:05
Your just missing a folding stove and frying pan other then that. It's a badass pack.
What about extra ammo?
edi til someone robs you for your extra water
I have 2 1 liter bottles [ old English style canteen and nalgeen] I will be buying a sawyer mini and a life straw, I also have a small pot to boil in, but hten again your environment is different than mine probably, here we have water coming out of almost every rock lol
I would put about 6 in, but yeah I agree
Devil!... I really enjoy your channel, great job! I would really like your input on how things change when you have a family and need to bug out. ie., wife, kids, babies etc. That bug out bag will probably change a little with others involved. Maybe make a video out of it. On the side note, you look familiar, where were you stationed and what MOS?
loved it - great upload
Very good ideas, Thank you very much
Great video with many things a newby wouldn't think of. Thanks
God Bless
His bag is better than most out there, but I think taking c4 or any pre-workout supplement in a survival situation would be a terrible idea. You'd be burning a ton of calories you wouldn't be able to replace.
Great video- can't understand what the bato lotlander (sp??) thing was? Is that a knife? Do you should a listof all this stuff? Thanks for posting
Bahco Laplander folding saw
Hey Jack wondering what the make is on that jungle bag? I’m liking how compact it is. Thanks
nice video. what kind camera do you use?
Hi, do you have a reference for the woodland rain jacket? thx
i have a bug out bag not this big but not bad. been working on mine for around 2 years.
Good vid but ammo where did u put 556 and 22 and 40 or is that a 9
Did you do a video going over your med pouch?
have you found the med pouch video? What type of pouch is that
Steel mags.....hmmmm. Great vid Jack!
Hard to break old habits
Are those ready to eat hotpockets or do you have to cook them
I come across this Buy-out Bug-in phrase only recently. What are you American guys preparing for exactly? I'm from England. Is there something I should know, because it's not just a few of you, there's a whole scene of these preppers or what ever it's called?
Great video. What's the bag weigh?
TJack I think he said it was about 50 pounds.
What camouflage pattern would you recommend for Colorado? Specifically up in the mountains
+Mike LaDuke Since he didnt reply i can help you out describe the environment so i dont have to google anything
Nice kit, my friend
Another good video, only distraction is the trolls in the comments not your camera man
what brand and make is that sleeping bag you have?
Great video nice kit is that the snugpak jungle bag? if so how you like it? atb John
if you dont mind me asking how old are you im 27 and just started prepping and will you do a video about your winter time gear
Another thing you have to think about is that you don't know how long you will be gone so you should anyways be prepared for all climates.
Bravo Zulu, Mate! We have very similar make up of kit. Although I'm a partial to
the "Eberlestock G4 Operator" pack.
