Protect, provide and prepare. I like that motto. I am also in a rural area and “going to town” is 45 minutes away. I also carry the SOS rations and New Millennium bars. They taste pretty good. I subbed because we have the same mindset. You don’t need all the fancy and flashy things. Just get home to your loved ones. 🇺🇸
well timed and excellent vid. I am moving from near CLT to near another big city in NC. Good time to research get home plans and refresh the bag. THank you so much.
I've been working on the same thing. One thing, I went with the titanium stakes (found some on sale. They are very light and can be used in fire to support a container. They can, I think, withstand higher temperature. I carry more water containers, too. I can fill them if needed from my "cargo". I also like the pack with the ballistic panel, though it lacks side pockets, etc. I, too, look at this as a collection of self-care items to keep me going so I can get home as fast as possible. Mole skin is good to add. I am seriously thinking of a bicycle for a huge improvement in travel time, if I can figure out how to fit it in the van. Thanks for a good video!
The thing about a bike, for me is that there are a lot of hills around. Fun to go down but not to go up, ha. Now, in an urban environment, I'd be all about it. Flat city sidewalks, ect. Where I'm at, I'd end up ditching it. I love riding bikes but, I tend to exert myself way more when peddling, as opposed to walking. A lot of online preppers and survivalist are getting e-bikes, now. I think that good for around your land or neighborhood but, I wouldn't keep one in a vehicle. Too big. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy hearing other people's ideas. Also, the titanium stakes are a great idea.
@@Pineboxperspective we have some hills here in Appalachian Ohio, but I figured if I could coast down fast that would take me partway up the other side. Then walk it to the top and do it again. Still a lot faster. Haven’t done it yet, but if I can make room I may. Thanks for the response!
I hear you on the Shemagh. I have the same one as you do and I have been looking at it for the same reasons. Still in my bag for now…thanks for the video.
I just thought of this,I havent even done it yet. For those of us who wear prescription glasses, have a couple of eyeglass repair kits and glasses cleaner in your kit. Using a tshirt or some such scratches the lenses, and if its shtf, theres gonna be dust in the air, so avoid screwing up your glasses at all costs. Thought Id throw that out there.
I don't wear glasses but, my wife just told me the other day that a shirt will scratch them. I couldn't believe it. The repair kit is a great idea. I'm gonna put one in hers. Thanks!
Like your video, appreciate your perspective and thus why you carry certain items. Wanted to share with the rest of the class the match containers you showed they have small ferro rods on the bottom of them. And I'd like to suggest a replacement for the stakes. Harbor Freight carries the nail peg style stakes that could be poked through the grommets first as you mentioned, and they are less likely to bend. My first memories of camping are half the setup for a tent time was spent trying to use a hammer and rock to unbend several tent stakes because over half of them bent when trying to setup. Have a great weekend!
Id take a good look at your medkit tbh. I'd add gauze, bandages, a sam splint and steri strips. I'd also keep the TQ on my person rather than in a backpack especially when carrying a gun.
I’ve always used the medium to smaller ziploc bags especially the freezer bags as there thicker plastic to keep bandaids etc together and contained !!😎🇺🇸🤙🏼
If you want to scrap the shemagh, look into a cotton "lungi", or maybe just a different style of shemagh that is solid color or doesn’t have the checkered design pattern. I can't think of the name or company right now, but there are large cotton "shemaghs" made that don't have any look to them at all.
Great Get Home Bag! Recommend you have emergency cash hidden and distributed among your set up. It would also help to include a pack of powdered “Emergen-C” to boost vitamin C & eletrolytes during strenuous outdoor activities.
Brother take that shemag to your local fabric store, pick you up some kick ass cotton flannel and ask them to cut it to the shemag size.. also, if youre not up to it, ask them where you can get it hemmed so it doesnt unravel
Nice - Hi from Savannah GA. Consider adding a small battery powered AM / FM radio to the kit. Also, I am a BIG fan of the Maxpedition Hard Use Gear. - Nothing stronger.
What's up, Georgia!!! I have a couple hams. I usually take one. I just wanted to hit on the basics for this one. Ha, I didn't even include a cell phone. Just a pad for making and leaving notes. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Great video! Just sub’d your channel 👍🏼👍🏼 Dye your shemaugh a solid color. Or just get a sniper veil. …just a thought. 😎 Plus, a military poncho is essential in any kit or pack imho. I never go anywhere without one.
i too carry a shemag a black on black one and a black od green one butz as you too i hesitate having them seen , nowadays gotta be carefull, gonna get me a snipers veil too just in case
Everyone leaves out a pen when doing edc. I don't know if they just don't mention it or don't want to be able to write something down every once in a while.
I feel like you really need a compression bandage in your med kit. Cutting off the blood supply should be a very very last resort. First should be pressure. And a compression bandage can be used in other ways, like for splints or packing a puncture wound and it weighs nothing and is sterile. I always keep two in my purse, along with a sutures kit, sterile gloves, and a regular tourniquet.
Here in Ohio the practical limit is 5 miles over the posted limit on highways. If you're the only one going the legal limit you could ticketed for obstructing traffic.
Lack of attention span... Totally understand. Been looking for a dude who knows his stuff and where to get it... I'm looking for an IWB (preferably quasi-reversible, sort of like SHTF Gear used to produce, that could be refitted for OWB carry) for a full frame FNP-45 with a TLR-4 Green laser/flashlight (funny, they say the attachment is for compacts and such, but butted up against my trigger guard, the end is flush with the end of the frame). Any ideas where to look? By the way. New subscriber. :D *edited for clarity*
Look at Watch Dog Tactical. They have one that's reversible. I think its called the Guard dog. Great veteran owned company out of Charlotte,NC. I carry a Watchdog everyday. I also have a video on a couple of their holsters. Pretty sure I included the guard dog. Thanks for the sub.
About your food rations. One bar gives 400 kcal, for a total of 3600 kcal per pack (it says so on the package). I don't how big you are, but you will not survive on one bar a day. You will at least need 4 bars, and probably more, especially when you're on foot and walking all day. Just so you know 🙂
Not sure exactly what I may have said but, the one I have says 3 bars per person, per day. It contains a total of 9. I could have gotten the individual calorie counts mixed up in my head. Ha.
😂 you don't need ANY food technically. Just water. Anything around 1k cals is perfect for most people, to provide comfort and a bit of energy/mental clarity (there'sother options than food for that as well). Don't know where you got your info but you should look into it a bit more.
Regarding the Shemagh: the “Pro-Palestinian” or “Anti-Israel” only wear the white with black spots, it is called a Keffiyeh. The difference between a Shemagh and a Keffiyeh: “While both the Keffiyeh and Shemagh share similarities, the key difference lies in their patterns. The Keffiyeh typically showcases a checkered pattern, while the Shemagh often features a larger, more intricate design.”
You know, I recently noticed that they do, typically wear white and black. So I decided to keep it in the bag because of its many uses. Plus, I could possibly use it to blend in and pass through a crowd.
I hear you on that. Only reason I asked is that I saw it from my driveway and I'm a little further out than you, from the city. You are right to look down when they say to look up.
I know the rats aren't the best option but, they do fit in the pocket of my jeans, comfortably. You are correct about having it on person. I'm going to look into the etq you mentioned. I was not aware of those. Thanks for the input.
SHTF never happens when your fresh off 8hrs sleep, lets get real, who gets the sleep they REALLY need these days. To that end i keep 2 5 hr energy shots in my bag and i also know waht stress does to my stomach , would make taco bell proud, so i pop an imodium to keep that stuff at bay. If you wear script eyewear, keep a spare in your bag and get the side shields that will also help.
I keep a few energy drink powders to mix with water. Its lighter, lasts longer, and can be adjusted for strength if you need to go through the night or a pick me up in the morning. Pills are good for long term maybe but they're also far less forgiving when it comes to strength.
I'll put this into my particular situation. I'm over 60, lived in 3 states, atleast 2 cities each state. (Particular situation is extremely unique) I've never needed a tourniquet. I probably wouldn't carry Ina 1 hr bag. Depending on location I may in a get home bag. Right now, I drive in 7 minutes, walk in 1 hour. Realistically 7 minutes no need. My car breaks down half way, more probable, 30 minute walk, in a city college town. A lot of that I do agree with, across the board, depending on situation. In my particular situation maybe maybe not. Now a 24 hour, get-home-bag, or 72 hr bag, definitely everything, probably more.
I was just saying that you may not want to look like one of a certain group during a demonstration or other event if you are trying to pass through. Nothing wrong with anyone, as long as they respect others.
These "get home" bag videos are so funny. I mean i guess its fun to pretend that ur in a disaster movie. You can get home without hurting urself. I walk everyday without needing a full trauma kit lmao. Ur personal edc is perfectly fine and you can move very fast.
It might be best to record your videos when you’re not dealing with a cold. The constant sniffing is super distracting. Loved everything else, though! 👍

Yes! Those single kool-aid packets are great. Thanks
