- Check out the new civil unrest/urban bug out bag. This is the Vertx Gamut with Premier Body Armor. Outfitted with a chest rig and coms, PVS-14s, a gas mask, Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit Now, DJI Mavic Mini, and much more.
My two cents is to add a rain cover for your backpack and a poncho for yourself, just in case you need to use this in a downpour.
Definitely, great idea.
Maybe scotch guard prep your bags as well?
@@KayakAdventures210 buddy your notebook, write the info for your contacts in another language, like Arabic or Hindi. Don't want to loose that in a shtf scenario and have your closest allies whereabouts found.
Don't forget about batteries for your nods and flashlights

I love the setup. The one thing about the drone that I've seen is that in Ukraine the drones can be tracked back to your location. One consideration when using them is to setup drop points to retrieve the drone instead of bringing the drone back down to your direct location.
They're not watching where the drone takes off or lands from, they're tracking the transmitter.
@@skynat247 plus it’s most likely going to be a national crisis so no one is gonna come for you when you’re using a drone they’re just gonna watch
Close to true. DJI is compromised, gotta learn to build and fly your own for sure.
good video, seems this bag doesnt take into account if you arent always near a power source, though.. I would add some sort of foldable solar system. I know my drones batteries lose charge over time just sitting there.
Whats DJI?
aplus for magical packing skills! all that fit in the bag, wow!
Thank you. I play a lot of tetris.
The drone is an interesting addition that I had never considered before.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
Beware DJI.
A couple of years ago I looked upon this type of upload with a certain amount of skepticism. Not so much these days and I constantly look for improved set-ups over my own.
Love those gloves I work in them and use them for the gym the last 3 to 4 months with heavy use before they start to wear
I would ditch the drone for lithium Jumpstarter but that's my opinion and add lock picking set
Jumpstarter's a great idea.
Your set up is squared away to the max. Impressive!
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
very well thought out bag. kudos!
Very well thought out man! 👍🏼
Amazing how much you packed in there. Very well thought out selections. Need to search if you did a lighter EDC video. Saved this and going to build it
I love what you have in this bag! I can see how you can use these to get from point A to B in an urban environment. I took notes from you! Great content!
Thank you, I greatly appreciate it.
@Stay Ready Adventures my bag is geared for Mexico since I'm down there alot minus a handgun. Im gonna have to find that fence tool for sure. Thats what sold me on this build.
@@Bisstube Awesome... Those are the Hyper Tough fencing pliers. I usually keep a translation book in my vehicle, but my wife's fluent in Spanish, so I guess I'll just have her tag along when SHTF. 😆
@Stay Ready Adventures she can be an asset! I know my wife translates for me so I don't look like a fool. And thanks for the name of the pliers.
Good video, brother! I like the Vertx in that it seems more flexible and therefore more packable. I have the Eberlestock Switch, which is a great backpack but far more rigid. On the one hand it’s tough as nails (I’ve dropped it off a mountainside before with no issue haha), but the rigidity also means less actual space to pack stuff.
I also appreciate the fact that you kept this under 10 minutes: most other bag setups are long videos that I most often scroll past 😆.
Thank you. I have a good budy that carries the Switch as well, he likes it a lot. Been looking at the Bandit for recently for a gym/locker bag, we'll see.
@Sundas The Savage it depends on where I’m using it, but usually: first aid kit, small survival kit, poncho, kabar, toothbrush, and a change of clothes. Top pocket contains some tools and flashlight.
I’ve had it more decked out, though, which I made a video of (though I prefer not to advertise links to my channel on other peoples channels). You’re welcome to check it out, though; my kit is ever changing based on which environment I’m walking into. Right now the contents are all in waterproof containers 😆.
Nice load out! Seems very thoughtful and I haven't seen any with the drone yet. Definitely like the hard water reservoir. Only thing I would add is the bag cover, raincoat, possibly a range finder, monocular, or binoculars, and some sort of ear protection.
Thank you.
Can you put monoculars or small binoculars on that head thing that you have shown?
Out of curiosity, what's the "wet weight" of this backpack?
Awesome set up very comprehensive
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
I mean no offense with this comment. You do have a lot of good gear there. One thing that bothers me about your kit is the note pad with personal information and contacts on it. I would be afraid of that information falling into the wrong hands in a civil unrest situation. Just in case you lose or have to ditch that pack. Just something to consider.
Excellent setup
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
A small suggestion, add a portable solar charger phone bank. Or a multi purpose solar charger for ur equipment.
that only makes sense for long term, which this bag is far from being set up for or even capable of . this is at most a 24hr bag, a couple batteries is more than sufficient.
Great bag set up!
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
I hadn’t considered the drone but i may have to think about adding that to my kit cause i can definitely see how that could be a vital addition
Holy way to have one is by building one. Those companies sell the info and able to track
You packed a drone, extra batteries and charging cable but don't seem to consider severe enough civil unrest that will make you use your bug out bag will probably also lead to mass power outages. Unless you got a geny in your pocket it's not exactly useful to bring those kinds of electronics. Get a foldable solar panel, it may take you 8hrs to charge something but at least you'll actually be able to charge it. They aren't that big and can last a pretty long time if you are careful in their care. Or even get a portable battery that has a solar panel on it. I have a $20 one right here, it takes a few hours to charge in the sun but can charge my phone 2-3 times.
I agree, this is just a kit to get home.
Never seen such a well thought out kit. Good on you!
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
@@KayakAdventures210 man should have posted links to where you got some of your gear. You have some good ideas.
@@KayakAdventures210 I think you can set it up so people buy through your link means you get a kick back too
Great info thanks buddy 🇺🇸🤙
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
I love the background music....
nice bag too.
Thank you, greatly appreciated
That’s a pretty dope bag w cool gear
Thank you, greatly appreciated
I love you have a drone, I also have one just in case never know what could happen it’s nice to see them coming from a good distance away.
Absolutely, intel at a distance is everything.
Looks solid. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
Impressive and filled to the brim
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
i just used my mini 2 to find my lost dog. she was gone all night and i flew low around the corn fields she heard the drone and came running i pulled her towards some one who was on foot and they put a leash on her. best money i ever spent was on the dji mini 2
That's awesome to hear.
Love the video, learned some great things. But I would replace the crow bar with a mini Halligan firefighter tool. It's about the same weight but very versatile. I can get into almost any door or gate with a Halligan.
How much for Halligan?
I'd love to get my hands on an authentic Halligan. They make 3 piece that are affordable, but they're just not the same.
@@michaelyocum6725 Halligans cost around $300 for a full size or $120 for the smaller one.
@@silveradooverland3048 exactly why I'll be running the average crow bar.🤣🤣🤣 actually to be honest if it really came down to it, I'd probably leave half the crap in my bag behind. So much of it has a purpose but I've been thinking about the chances of the situation presenting itself to actually use it. And now that I'm not exactly a youngin anymore the lighter the better. 🤣 when I first set up my stuff I realized I needed to rethink everything because weight definitely matters. If you can't even run a couple hundred yards in your gear then your screwed 🤣 most people don't even realize how heavy plates are alone.
A good sized demo hammer would probably be a decent compromise and reduce some weight and space
Bad ass. All capability, no bullshit. Only things I can think of to add are sudecon OC decon wipes and CBRN decon wipes, and maybe a small handheld thermal. Ones we use in the fire service attached to our packs from Seek are around $500
Thank you. And Definitely, I'll have to check those out. I've been looking at the FLIR Breach for high hunting, just never came around to squeezing the trigger on one. Some day.
A Baofeng would make for an alright communication radio, but they have bad interference issues with different stuff. I recommend Yaesu, Icom, or Kenwood for higher end radios if you're willing to fork the extra money
I’m a Wouxun GMRS dude. Researched but still a radio newb.
Having been sent to many riots and civil disturbance situations over the years, I listened to your dialog to see if you missed anything. You did a great job on covering needed items. I do have a couple of suggestions: add one small ready-to-eat meal package as you need quick bulky energy food as you move fast to avoid danger...a couple of energy bars doesn't cut it; get some soft elbow and knee pads for protection to wear under pants and a light neutral colored jacket at least one (or two) size larger than you normally wear to wear over the weapon belt. Depending upon the laws where you live, someone on even the outskirts of an incident who is obviously carrying a weapon can draw negative attention from all sides of the event participants (even with a carry permit, you don't want to draw attention). Carrying an obvious long gun is vary dangerous. Hard to get a CCW permit for one. Remember, the intent is to get away from danger...avoiding a firefight. You need to check your mindset on this issue and know your laws. I like your body armor idea but suggest a full vest would better cover the front AND the back under that jacket or coat. Remember to fill the protection/cooling flask with something you can drink. Your supplies obviously support the necessary hydration needs. Check with your pharmacist to see what is suggested for tear agents. If you are there, even with a gas mask, the odds are you will get exposed. I carry these in the gas mask bag as well as anti fog pads (protect the mask with a bag and you can anchor/pin the bag to the bottom of the pack so it stays in the bag as you pull the mask out) . Lastly, consider protection for your brain box. Even a light bike helmet is better than nothing (again, think neutral color) and if you can wear a ball cap with it, extra sun and flying items protection. Great kit. Just pray you don't have to use it or outfit a slightly larger general duty get home bag. One last thought, you may wish to equip yourself with a small capability to equip yourself or your pack with a forward facing body cam. Motion pictures are worth a million words if you are defending yourself.
Young man from MN showed how dangerous.
A couple of suggestions huh?
Stop the capping bro
Flex cuffs, good stuff for your post apocalypse harem 😉
Gel takes a while to activate on your assailants face. Pom OC is a stream style oc spray that stings immediately with 10 ft range, I highly recommend it
Gel and foam can also be grabbed off the face and thrown back at you. Not ideal, has happened before haha
I must say I’m quite impressed with your set up not the run of the mill, but very impressive
Very well stock bag. I would definitely add more cover. Also handheld standalone GPS.
Your gear is very clean
Thank you
Anyone have insight on how the fencing pliers would be used? Seem too short to pry, tiny jaws meant for wire..? Just curious this is a cool new one
Great kit, though you might want a bag to sleep in, and a raincover for that backpack. Personally i would also add in one spare 40mm filter for your mask.
Great bag. Really. Only constructive advice would be to add a quick access gator neck or face cover for general breathing before you have to dig out main pro mask(which is awesome btw). Rain gear already suggested
A half decent camera with zoom lens could be a shout to add to this,maybe fujifilm or mirrorless camera doubles up as a scope/binoculars and evidence gathering.
Love the setup.. just need a poncho.. and that’s a wrap!
Great vid!
Id suggest a crye night cap rather than a skull crusher they are way more comfortable and wont give a headache after 30mins. Not to mention they can take a battery pack or counter weights which I would highly suggest. Keep up the great content!
Any kit with a fencing hammer in it is good in my book, such a useful tool.
Thank you, greatly appreciated. It's definitely a universal tool. Volunteered for a tornado clean up last year, and used this guy to take down an entire line of twisted fencing wrapped around a home. Trusted and true.
@@KayakAdventures210 I use mine daily for HVAC. The sides of mine have wire strippers and the center has a crimping tool. Made by malco whom also makes my duct knife which is also a pretty boss tool
In my state if you get pulled over and they find all those types of tools in your bag they will be considered breaking and entering tools. They will then proceed to search everything else and detain you. Just make sure when you have those in your bags you have other things that show you are just keeping survival gear and also don't be trespassing or near criminal activity. Just my 2 cents
Cool collection of gear. I'm not trying to be critical by saying this. I'm only saying it because I've done the same thing and learned from it. If you ever actually travel on foot for a significant distance with this kit you will quickly realize that about half of that gear needs to be replaced with water, preferably with some powdered gatorade. If you are trying to bug out or get home, the last thing you want to do is run out of fluids and have to detour to gather water and filter it. I love that bag. I use the same one.
Be sure to get bottled water that fits you Sawyer Mini.
Completely agree here. You might on some slim chance need a crowbar but you definitely need water and lots of it. Same with calories. When SHTF there will be a run on food. The 4 way key is smart but you may not be able to easily access a building with a port.
The best bug out bag on TH-cam
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
Can you tell me what gas mask this is?
which model ?
Like 208. The first bag focused on civil unrest. Never thought that one. Great ideas.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
This is pretty awesome bag, but since it is an urban area, haven’t you consider to add to your sawyer also the S3 bottle?
Thank you... I wasn't familiar with th S3. Just checked it out now, seems like an awesome design.
Have a Vertix Gambit myself for my edc bag. Also rock a tier 1 concealed holster for my glock 17 which also has a Trijicon RmR. I went surefire on my light but pretty similar all around kit wise. Coming from a Military & now backpacking, I always look to shed weight so the drone & tools may be a little excessive for my taste but I don't discredit them as valuable. Anyway. Good kit. You got a new sub.
Thank you, greatly appreciated. I'm I'm huge fan of Tier 1 Concealed holsters, they've been great.
Great idea. This kind of intel is the best way to avoid these situations.
Good point. I’m down with the drone from my bug in location, vehicle or bug out location. But I’d ditch it once I’m hoofing it on foot. Weight kills.
I don't know what situation you would ever reasonably expect to be in to use any of that. A Wilcox key, flex cuffs? Never in my life have I ever considered needing, let alone carrying this stuff. A real question, not trolling.
@@DaDude999 Flex cuffs okay. But a Silcock key? You cannot see its urban survival usage? In a grid down fresh running water will cease to exist. Why not tap into the reserves of major commercial properties?
I love the vertx gamut, I use it as an edc bag. only downside it’s a very shallow depth wise interior compartment. You start loading out the many side pockets, zip interior, I put thyrm batteries and a dark angel ifak on the front flap and it takes a lot of the bags space. So I feel I have need to carry a second backpack in my truck to actually use as a overnight for clothes etc. then I have a small lbt pack for my gym clothes and a lowe pro camera bag.
Wrap everything metal or with metal parts in something water proof and oiled
Great video. Subbed!
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
Doing really good, happy to see you have water and lots of medical gear + a conceal carry. I’d definitely recommend More food/ snacks , 1-2 more pistol mags,and maybe less weight if possible by not carrying a 3lb crowbar.
I know its urban and meant for E&E not through hiking though.
Wow, tour bag is one of TVE best i've se en, congrats.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
This is my first time running across one of your videos but I have to admit I think you did a really good job keep it up
Thank you, greatly appreciated
Love the setup man, looks like great minds think alike 😉
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
I need to get my bags put back together.
Looking good 👍🏻 my suggestion would be to get a smaller pry bar or make one. Definitely a rain parka,maybe put some super glue and some 550 para cord in it and another fire starting source.
Definitely add some liquid IV's they are great if you get very dehydrated and are definitely a life saver
Dayyyam Dude!
Awesome build out but looks crazy heavy.
Pretty good kit. Do you carry ammo for those mag? I didn't see any ammo in them. Just asking.
They're just for training purposes. I keep 556 mags loaded and ready.
What is the name of the QD hose attachment? Where did you find it?
Source Tactical Storm Valve and Source Tactical Universal Tube Adapter
I would add a poncho, a secondary fire start, upgrade to a waterproof flashlight, a slingshot, and a signal device visual or audio(preferably audio like a whistle in an urban environment)
Maybe even local maps too
What is the weight of that bag with everything in it?
Not once have I considered a drone. I can see the uses. Got any budget-friendly suggestions?
What is the foldable spoon/fork you have?
Only thing I would suggest is to use a non DJI drone since DJI has lots of flight area restrictions. I sold mine and bought the Hubsan Zino Pro 2 and love it
Beautiful rig. Subd. D😎🇺🇸
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
I've never thought about using a drone.
One thought of mine would be why have the device to let you know about what's going on in the urban areas? In a civil unrest would that likely be not up to date? Sure you could update it yourself but who knows how long a barricade would be active or it has been overcome and taken over? Just a few thoughts on that I don't know anything about the device so excuse me if I may be wrong but that may not be a first thing I'd think of other than that I like the contents of the bag. I may switch a few things out here and there but otherwise it looked good to me.
That was an amazing and extremely expensive setup. Greetings from Germany
What’s the brand/ where did you get the rigid water container
Qore Performance Ice Plate
Thumbs up for a pepper spray! It is really useful and underestimated tool!
Absolutely, great for stray dogs as well. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Great Vid….. straight to the point! 👍🏽 👏🏽
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
I honestly have thought of a “bug out bag” but Texas is hot, humid, rarely snows in my area (South Texas) but I have a more modern meets old west a haversack and what ever is small but we’re my back doesn’t sweat
I feel you and that Texas heat. Best thing for a Texas BOB would be water and more water.
You really thought of somethings I didn't!
Also, Get in Good with your Neighborhood Store Owners, I have a GREAT Relationship with Mine, during the Big Blackout in the early 2000's, I was able to go at closing time and get Ice, Bottled Water, Charcoal, Snacks, Bread, Juices and Fruit for Very Little Cost.
So you’ve got a good setup tactically speaking, but your light “practically” speaking. I’ll freely admit I’m jealous of the NVG, gas mask, and body armor but your medical and practical is lacking. Not a criticism just a thought. My areas of expertise are fire, shelter, and medical and my pack is weak in the tactical realm. Medical needs more bandaids, basic meds like aspirin tylenol Benadryl etc. Ditch that crowbar and get a good husquavarna axe (same size weight and you can use it split wood). Get some better fire starting options dryer lint tinder gauze rubbed in lotion and couple decent ferro rods. Lastly you need a good multipurpose knife, Mora makes a $25 blade that will do everything the $300 work knives will do. Great content though gave me some good ideas.
Thank you, greatly appreciated. I opted out of fire and shelter as this is more designed as an urban bag. You're right about band aids and otc meds, 90% of what we treat in the field are booboo's and tummy aches.
Yo I wasn’t sure I saw it here but what’s the the tool called for opening the water bolt on the outside of commercial buildings? I love the plate carrier water bottle, getting that
Silcox key
What company made that gas mask. What series is it
MSA Millennium Gas Mask
Hey man, what kind of watch brand is in this video
Garmin Instinct Tactical
How much have you used the Petac chest rig, how is it holding up?
Surprisingly well. I though a few areas of stitching would not hold up, but it's been great. Re-insertion of mags is tough, but that'll be the case on any elastic mag pouch without some sort of shell retention.
Hey man great Video! Your bag is well thought out and gave me some ideas as well!
Thank you, greatly appreciated. Hopefully I'll have more to come.
Well thought out and to the point bag. I too carry the mavi mini. The only issue is where I live is pretty strict, so I have to log in and get one day permission for flight. I sometimes do, just in case. And hey, I can just fly it around that day if I want!
Nice... Yea that mini is awesome. I've been looking at the DJI Enterprise Advance, but certainly not in my budget. Thermal features would be great.
Love most of the items in the bag. I'd say ditch the crow bar though. Also, check your state laws to make sure you're legal, but maybe add a couple different picks and lock bypass tools. Learn how to use them and practice using them.
I'm a fan of having a waterproof paper map of your local area, incase your phone is dead and you are trying to plan an alternative route.
At the time that you would need this stuff most legal wouldn't matter but make sure you stay legal so we know to come and get your stuff
What gas mask are you using in your setup?
MSA Millennium Gas Mask
More info on the hydration hard shell? Where did you get it? Name? Thanks,
IcePlate by QorePerformance
I feel like people should harvest and purify water for just one meal and a canteen fill to discover just how long it will take for just the water. the next day when you discover it takes a lot of time to cleanse and boil water 1 quart at a time. water weighs 8 pounds a gallon. You drink about 2 quarts a day.
More food. Def need more food. A bump helmet is a must
Good stuff and kit overall tho.
i dont have a drone in my bug out bag , which i will consider to add but therefore i got some shelter orientated equipment in it , like a sleeping bag, a tarp and a one man tent
Thanks for the video. Who makes that spoon/fork combo?
Thank you. It's crazy, i get asked that question quite a bit. So i picked it up from a thrift shop years ago as a kids tuppaware kit. However, came across it here on Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B00FSMP0DW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_glt_i_NNCD30MCNKGR76C9V9S4
What brand is that smoke can?
Enola Gaye
Another great video. I enjoy your content as it’s well thought out and provides really useful insight in building kits and load outs. My question is do you maintain all these various kits stocked or do you build a kit specifically for whatever you may be doing on any given day? Also do you maintain any written inventory so you can keep track of gear, like what you have and what you need etc…
Thanks !
Thank you sir. Honestly, to tell you the truth since I am currently living the van life the only kit I keep stocked and ready is my get home bag inside my vehicle. I keep everything else like the gas mask, aid kits, plate carrier, helmet/nods and other essential items at ready close by.
@@KayakAdventures210 thanks for the reply brother! Much appreciated!
This might be the most perfect set up I’ve seen of all these types of vids
Thank you, I greatly appreciate it.
How on earth you got all that gear in that pack is amazing. Great gear . God Bless
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
