Grab a map of your area with railway lines included. The rail lines can be safer to travel in shtf and may be a shorter way home.
Good info.
Power line cut outs would be good to know too. Around here, they cut through all our mountain ranges in a pretty straight line but theiy are often too rough for most cars.
I would include an Israeli bandage, a small splint and an extra pressure bandage - which would work better than bandana in case I have to walk with a sprained leg, and some OC spray, against dogs and what not.
Ziploc bags are very versatile and take very little space. I also keep a few twist ties (Nite Ize Gear Ties) in my tool pouch.
For the stove I use a different system, an alcohol stove and a small flask of Everclear - that way the fuel has several uses.
Like that you included a New Testament in your supplies, we all need that kind of encouragement!
With the threat of nuclear, i only recently put my electronics (handheld ham radio, battery pack, etc) in a small faraday bag. Then the electronics have a better chance of working after any EMP passes by.
I suggest you replace your shiny Mylar pack rain cover with one less conspicuous, preferably a dark camo or Night Black in color. Also use zip lock bags on all electronics and other items that should not get wet in case you need to swim a stream and float the pack.
I think you could probably slim down a bit on a few of those redundancies. The Bic lighter is a great convenience, and the ferro rod a good longer use back up. But I think I counted 3 lighters throughout the kit. Same with the water filters, the one in pieces in the bag and the one built into the bottle. Ideally...... you're getting home at some point. The bottle with filter alone would be enough, some Purification tablets. The life cycle on those filters is far beyond any amount you'd consume within a lifetime usually. The 2 flashlights as well these are getting to be heavier larger redundancies tho I do keep a Headlamp with a red light, and a small flashlight. I guess it all depends how far you expect to be caught out and having to walk with the bag. I plan mine like a 72 hour bag. Or more like I have 3 days of immediate use items like the Bic and snack bars to keep me moving. And after that the long term redundancies would take me into overtime. But it's definitely not a bugout bag.
Thank you, I need to make 2 for my folks. God forbid anything happen before I finish them, and even if nothing happens, they'll always be ready
Good son!
I'm with you on that friend 💯
Earplugs, ammo, weapon, cash, axe, moleskin, Garmin GPS, ham radio...just spit balling here 😊
Serious question, why earplugs?
@@SavageVoyageur So while you're applying a TQ after you need the rest of his suggested items you don't have tinnitus
Awesome kit, filled with awesome gear and extremely well planned out! However, I would definitely lighten the load, depending on the distance you are from home when the shtf. The farther you are from home, the more gear you may have to include. The object is to get home to family, home and supplies as fast as possible. My get home bag is actually an adventure vest with 21 pockets. I utilize the room/pockets in that vest for basic needs to get home. FAST! For longer distances from home, I have a supplemental kit to enhance what I carry in the vest. My system is similar to the USAF survival system in that aircrew members wear a survival vest and have an under ejection seat “pan” that contains a myriad selection of mandated and personal survival gear. The vest and supplemental kit is in my vehicle at all times. I enjoyed your video very much and have subbed!!Thank you for posting this very informative video! From a Vietnam Era USAF Veteran…
I can appreciate your reasoning but I kinda dissagree....if I Dont have to travel far then the weight won't be that big of a burden....but if I Do have to travel far, I may need all that's in the kit!!! You can always dump unneeded items along the way if you have to, but you can't create items out of thin air! Thats the way I look at it anyway! Thanks for watching! And thank you for your service!
No doubt. How far is this guy planning to be away from the homestead? Sheesh.
@Andrew-kk2ry maybe 10 miles maybe 500 miles. But I don't want to be adding and taking away from the kit every time I leave the house depending on how far im going. Build it once and leave it till you need it.
Another Pilot Patriot Classic! Love your videos man!
That Gerber knife is a great knife. I use to carry my old kabar in my pack, however, recently one of my daughters got me that Gerber for my birthday. I've field tested it a few times on some backpack weekends with my son, and instantly loved it. Great grip, durable blade and rugged overall construction. I highly recommend that knife to anyone looking for a great knife for a good price. That being said, I just came up on your channel for the first time, this is the first video I've watched so far and I will be watching more.
Thanks!
Gloves, socks, tarp, blanket, water filter, rain gear, fire stuff, snacks, contractor bags and pistol. Knives and such usually floating in my vehicle. Good for 2-3 days.
Great GHB! Most TH-cam vids on them have enough gear to survive through the entire apocalypse. Thoughts on two things: 1.) I would have a poncho (about the same size as you’re 5x7) in lieu of the tarp so you can stay dry. 2.) I’d just take your fire kit in the plastic box and eliminate the pouch and extra fire items.
Best video ever! I’m in the process of putting a backpack for my car and stumbled onto this video. Thank you.
I would add a sillcock key and a lock pick kit. I also would add a church key, a pot gripper and maybe some tin snips. In Hobo tradition, alot of things can be fabricated using tin cans and coat hangers.
I agree 💯 with the sillcock key. Preferably the 4 way but the single sides would be a great start
This is a first bag that has some sense! Everything is legal and useful. I would change all that water purification things for tablets and geopres 1l with extra filter saves space and is grate. And I would add CamJam xt carabiners for paracord!
For us older people that would be way too heavy Would definitely have the light ned up some
LA police gear has some great bags and the cheapest prices around IMO.
Excellent build. Very complete. You might add some cash in small denominations. If the power is out you might not be able to use credit cards or access an ATM. Another thing I have done with my bags is add a packing list or table of contents. If a family member has to access the bag it would be helpful to know what is in it.
Pretty robust kit! I would recommend swapping the bright blue backpacking tarp for a camo military poncho and add a poncho liner for thermal regulation.
Excellent video on putting together a get home bag. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome!
I just said when I clicked on this video, "Why doesn't anyone ever pack a change of clothes???" LOL. Great kit!
I try and think of the worst-case scenario and then build a bag for that situation.
Medical is a top priority in any emergency situation. Severe blood flow and / or shock is a killer. You must stop the bleeding quickly and wrap with mylar.
Having a Trama kit could be the difference between life and death.
Thanks for the bag breakdown. Excellent ideas and packing. Do you keep an itemized list of contents?
I dont, but thats a good idea
loved the setup ... mine is small but it is the start of my bug out they all add on to make bags that build up
Love that plastic box that your bag was in, think I need to get one ! Thanks
Antibiotic ointment would be good.
Ziptie those lighters so they don't leak
I like that hard storage case. Good idea.
Great video, def helped me figure out where my weak points are in my get home bag.. and waterproofness was def one.
good stuff
Good ideas!!
Perfect 👌
Great video!
a small roll of tie wire could eliminate the need for zip ties
Nice. I would add a handheld GPS and a pair of socks. (Oh, you do have a pair of socks).
GPS is a good idea!
Awesome
I liked your fire kit inside your fire kit
Silcock wrench.
Good suggestion
It looks like he's in an area w streams etc but not a bad idea. In kaliforniastan where I live, definitely!!!
Well, I usually think BS weight on carrying a bunch of flashlights and knives. However, the way you have them packed, each one makes some sense being there. (FYI) You need to try out your saw. I had one and I've had drywall saws cut better than that Fiskars. I've been seeing these packs around and I'm really starting to think I should get one. It has lots of room and you can organize it all kinds of ways. A lot better than my top load. I think you have an excellent bag there. Better than most and even somewhat better than my own. So guess what I'll probably be doing this afternoon. But just so you know, I'm telling my wife it's your fault that I have to spend money on a new GHB.
Lol. That's OK I'll take the blame!
I would add some emergency cash. I carry some on my keychain
If shtf i would have extra ammo for your hand gun and a small break down survival rifle like the henry Ar7
It seems to be a good kit but I'd also be interested in the weight of it.
You should include some cash. Like $40 in small bills. This way you can buy stuff in the event of a power outage and not pay $20 for a water.
You don’t need the emergency water packets. There are already 3 other sources of water. God Bless.
I would add cat tourniquet, chest seal and Israeli bandage. How much is the weight of your pack ?
I'd add some hard candy
THIS!!!! I have walked and rucked 1000s upon 1000s of miles at this point some Jolly ranchers and werthers weigh nothing and will seriously brighten you day while you're tired and humping weight trying to get anywhere
I love your bag and contents, but the only thing I’d change is that Gerber knife. It’s just like one of those cheap Les Stroud blades. THEY ARE NOT FULL TANG! I would not trust my life with that blade. I’ve had 2 of my friends break there Gerber batoning wood, I warned them about it . I myself , I go with the
Becker BK -7 , or BK-9 . Yes you could go with ESSE, Bark River, ect. but way to damn much. Beckers are great blades. Thanks for the video
I just thought of something would radios be a good idea for communication with family or friends in case for anything?
Yes that's a great idea.
@@PilotPatriot what kinda radios would you recommend to have?
@@austinwalden3433 I have several Baofeng ham radios that would be good for this application
@@PilotPatriot go ahead and put them in a faraday bag or wrap them with 3-4 layers of aluminum foil and tape it down (it doesn't take up any/much space)
It becomes more clear every day how few TH-camrs have any training on preparedness whatsoever. You won't last when things go south bro
lol, because you know me so well???
@PilotPatriot as a 26 year professional in the fields of emergency services, community resiliency, and disaster response, it's pretty obvious you don't have a clue.
@@docred4739 whatever you say boss
I have found that he only likes giving criticism, not taking it.
If your such a professional why don't you have your own TH-cam channel training us smooth brains how to be prepared? Oh thats right your prob a 250lbs keyboard warrior who NEEDS to belittle someone any change they can. You my friend need to prep that EGO bc that sir is not going to get you far when things go south bro you wont last. sounds like your a walking loot drop brother. godspeed
I was struck by how little actual water you carry. Water is bulky and heavy but I wonder if it is a mistake not to have more, since as it stands you are dependent on finding some that you might then need to purify.
I usually have several bottles of water on hand in the truck but since the bag is always in the bed of the truck I don't want leaks or freezing etc. I can fill it with what's in the truck and I have several ways to collect and purify water in the bag
For a get home bag it seems like a lot of extra stuff. How long do you plan on being out?
Depends....if I'm on vacation 200 miles from home...then It could be a several days to weeks
@PilotPatriot well I guess as long as you can carry it, but im sure you could cut some things from that bag if you wanted to lighten the load.
@PilotPatriot that's getting outside of get home bag and more like a bug out bag for me. If I'm going on vacation, I just throw the bug out bag in the car. I see my get home bag as I'm at work and an EMP happens. I got a 10 hours hike and I'm mostly gonna be hitting the road to get home to protect my family and property asap. This bag appears to be pretty heavy and I would worry about how tactical it looks. Someone could see it as an opportunity to get a bunch of free gear. Great video though I found a thing or two I'll be adding!
I was thinking the same thing. @@zachsowersfilmandphoto6659
You need super glue
Because of the threat of nuclear war I keep potassium iodide pills in my bag just in case
11:10
It's an addition I put in my bag because previously I had not done so
What's the overall weight?
No clue, 25-30lb maybe
I'd rather have it, and not need it, than need it and not have it.
You have more room in that water bottle
Weight? Seems it might be prohibitive.
How heavy is the bag? if you need to walk twenty or thirty miles your goal is to get home not go camping. I hope you practice walking with all of that stuff.
Somewhere between 20 and 30lb so not too heavy as long as youre in decent shape.
The average person walks at a speed of about 3 miles an hour or less...so for 30 miles you're looking at 10 hours best case, that could certainly include an overnight stop. Also you have to assume the conditions you will be walking in could be unfavorable or dangerous which could take longer. Annnnnnd what if you are 100+ miles from home? I don't repack the back based on where I'm going that day, I build it out and it stays in the truck 24/7 weather I'm 1 mile away or 500 miles away, so yes I definatly reccomend being prepared for a little camping!
I think there is entirely too much stuff. Remember- you're going to be walking home, not going on a camping trip.
You already have a Bic lighter, but then have a fire-starting kit, with ANOTHER fire-starting kit inside it?? And why do you need THREE ferro rods, THREE compasses, and TWO whistles? Or a sewing kit and playing cards? You aren't Lewis and Clark on an expedition- you just gotta get to civilization.
Ditch some of the redundancies and lighten the load. Throw in sweatshirt, beanie or other warm clothes, and most importantly, about $200 in cash. Why walk home when you can hire a ride?
It sounds like you are assuming ur just going to have a short leisurely stroll across town. Like I mentioned several times in the video, this bag is designed to get me home no matter how far away I happen to be....if I'm 200 miles from home then it will in fact become a camping trip. And I may not be alone, if my wife and kids are with me it will be nice to have the redundancy. And of course there is cash in the bag I just chose not to show that to the entire world.
@@PilotPatriot I get that. But the goal is to get home, not necessarily WALK home. For some, that means walking to the nearest town. For others, that just means walking to where you can get cell reception and call for a ride.
What you got there is a bug-out bag, not a get-home bag. Though I'm scared to think what your bug-out bag would look like if you are this overpacked. That was a joke, I'm just bustin your balls a little
@boatymcboatface3062 I see what you are saying but I'm thinking more about a full on shtf situation where calling an Uber or just going to the next town isn't a valid option. If I'm ready for that then I'll be ready for any of it!
