“Don’t make things more complicated than they should be.” Best advice in the whole video.
This is the first BOB video that hasn't made me feel like I need to spend a fortune and stresses me out thinking I need EVERYTHING in it. Thank you so much! Easily broken down into kits is so much more convenient and understandable and not overwhelming!
No need to spend a fortune but you can’t create one for under $100 either!
I spent a pretty penny on all my gear but, I also carry it everywhere all the time.
Minimum 6.2 miles every morning and 3.1 miles every afternoon.
At 9.3 miles every day, everything adds up and do so in a hurry…inclement weather sucks already, carrying a bunch of unnecessarily heavy crap around just makes it worse.
Lightweight gear is expensive but, it’s worth it to me - my kit is pretty much the same, just the smaller UA18 or UA21 version in black depending on the season AND…titanium and proprietary nylons and carbon fiber materials when available.
I’m right at 14.1 pounds with my UA18 and “summer kit” and I like it.
Urban and rural would be completely different loadouts.
@@Shadowwolf7774Not really. A bug out bag is not a survival kit. It’s supplies to sustain you for three days regardless of environment.
@@JeepCherokeeful😂😂😂
My wife and I are truck drivers. We spend most of our time on the road. I keep a bag on the truck for getting us home from anywhere in the 48 states. Food, medical, hunting and protection. Hope that day never comes. Great video sir!
Guy at work told me bug out bags are stupid and I wasted my money. ‘I’m not going anywhere!’, he said. I asked him what if someone sets your house on fire and you have to leave it behind? He just walked away😂
Many of us rural, working class, camping, military families were raised like this. Being prepared to stay alive is more than a lifestyle choice.
The Gray Beard is the Gold 🥇 standard in survival.
I may have missed it, but I didn’t hear you mention a whistle. I wear one around my neck to call for help, let someone know where I am, etc. I’m an aging , but experienced Girl Scout and outdoor ‘Creek Mom… my son went from GI Joe toys to USMC 2x Iraq… gives me credit for knowing survival stuff he’s used all along. Now I’m a broken down old lady with heart problems and 2 broken areas on my spine that don’t want to hold up head/ back who has many needs for a whistle. problems getting pop outdoors around my house on uneven ground… so my whistle is always with me. 😇🙏♻️🇺🇸💝🦅…🥰👍
Did appreciate your guidence on weight and minimal items on bug out bag🤗✌️
“You don’t want to plan to improvise when it comes to life threatening bleeds.” So true. Great video!
Yup. My med kit is 1/3 the weight of bag.
It's refreshing to hear someone with real world experience talk about this topic. I love the idea that the bag should be 10 percent of your body weight. That really helps in not over packing.
13.5….. shit
@@yeah____youdude.sorrymaam2298 time for leg days
I've been putting on weight just so I can bring more food.
@@DutchFurnace bringing that food in your stomach
Damn, my gun and ammo weighs that much!
Put a rubber band around the lighter running it under the fuel button. It’ll keep it from getting pressed. I keep all my lighters like that. You can use string too.
Thanx !
I use a small thick “O” ring to keep the lever from getting depressed. The lighter is wrapped in duct tape, with a needle and craft knife blade under the tape.
@@dannydenham8141 I usually wrap lighters and chap stick in tape myself
Good tip!
“Comfort is not a requirement”
Perfectly said
That homemade fire starter made out of a makeup pad is genius!
I found that burying a Costco size package of toilet paper every 5 miles gives me the piece of mind that I can take a comfortable crap while I head into the hill towns.
One of the most practical, reasonable and level headed presentations on Bags I've ever seen. My bag also serves multiple functions. Rides in my vehicle 24/7. Thanks GBGB.
I love people discussing this subject. And here is my two cents on it.
Your bugout bag needs to include a few things.
1. Tender. Don't waste your fire making resources on wet tender you gathered last minute. Have materials to get a fire started so you use minimal fire starting materials.
2. Medical supplies. If you use a bugout bag, it should be with the assumption that you may have left as a last resort and were injured in the process. So your first aid kit should include things beyond bandaids and aspirin.
3. An entrenching tool. Why you ask? To dig up the cashes you put elsewhere. Odds are your ammo stash, your emergency supplies, and your "never coming home" bag are probably stashed away from the place you just fled and you need the proper tool to dig them up with.
4. I live in a state with easy access to water. You won't travel more than a few hours without coming across a creek, river, pond, lake, etc. So boiling water is more important than carrying water. So energy bars and multi-vitamins are the lean too for emergency rations. A camelback can easily carry enough water to get you from water source to water source.
5. Give up the notion of sleeping comfortably. A multi-use poncho is probably going to get more miles than a sleeping bag. A couple of large trashbags to fill with leaves and pine needles for a bed might go further and take less space.
The bag itself needs some consideration. Whether we are talking a bugout bag or a "never coming home again" bag, the same rule applies in my book. You want a bag that doesn't look like you just pulled a three day operation in the most recent war, nor does it need to be so big that it slows you down. People talk about "grey man" but grey is terrain neutral too. Black or camo just brings too much attention to the bag. People assume you have supplies. The less military you look the better.
I totally agree
@__ correct. Tinder. Cache.
@@superdave8248 The only point I see a potential problem with is #5.
I live in an extremely cold area that is under snow half the year, having a sleeping bag rated for approximate climates, a thermal liner, and a decent r-value sleeping pad aren't just for comfort, their for survival. Especially when you could be trying to survive in sub-zero temperatures.
@@taylorwaynett Point made. I've had nights outside were the temperature was below what my military issued sleeping bag was even rated for. It sucked. I didn't sleep all night. But I did keep a fire going all night. There wasn't a twig or limb to be found on the ground within a hundred yards of my spot by morning.
But all jokes aside, in this type of scenario you don't want to be sleeping well. You want to stay at some level of alertness. You also don't want to have to unzip a sleeping bag if you need to respond. Plus a unzipped sleeping bag that is nice and warm from your body heat is going to be very inviting to anything small that crawls or slithers around at night. You might wake up to some unwelcome guests.
Normal camping I'd completely agree with you. But this isn't going to be normal camping. If a variety of temperature ranges is an issue, you might be better off just packing an extra set of thermal underwear and socks in your pack versus a sleeping bag.
But in this type of scenario you are probably better off moving at night and sleeping in the day.
I’m old enough that I was considered a weirdo because I’ve always carried a big knife, duct tape, rope, a movers blanket, and a tarp in my truck. 😂
Same here!
Dexter was an entertaining t.v. show.
Same
It was the shovel and bag of lime that raised eyebrows.
@@donalddicorcia2433 🤣
For me, and my climate, a warm hat is one of the most important things.
Being in the cold without it can make you sick real quick.
I might have one with me already. But for longer hikes or whatever I would want to be sure, and one is none..
A few cotton rags and some reasonably clean water will clean your crack. I credit my post surgery recovery to a nursing home who provided cotton wash cloths for just that thing. Yes, you can use and wash them out and the sun will sterilize on a clothes line.
For about a week the nursing staff did the work and the warm watered wipes were a godsend.
Babies of my generation used cloth diapers. We did not get upset during the Covid toilet paper shortage because we both had experiences with out houses and makeshift things growing up.
Right! I just came across this video, and when everyone was flipping out about TP, while I had my normal stocked up supply and wasn't worried about it I have plenty of wash clothes. I laughed at how people were losing their ever lovin minds, saying just use a wash cloth! After finished wash in a sink with a bar of washing soap or even ivory etc. Duh..
No Shit!!
I really like your well reasoned, careful, informative delivery. These videos are an example of why Green Berets are so highly regarded. Very well done, sir.
Just a container full of stuff for when you might need it. The question is what do you want and when might you need it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that's tired of all these different categories. "Oh I can't put an axe in my get home bag because that would make it a bug out bag"
Just give yourself whatever you want and call it whatever you want
Thank you for your service
Bees wax soaked hemp string to light as well... wrap it around lighter... Good light source when ran under a tincan cut open vertically... Like a lantern w hole in bottom where wick is fed through and makes a bees wax tincan light! Bless. Great Vid... Spirit just gave me that idea. Christlight around you always brother... - Clay Inthepottetshands
Ruck with a heavier pack than you plan to take. Fitness is the most important prep.
I would love to see how build out a cache and how you store/hide that. Thanks!
It’s coming in this series
Me too!
Can of beans
Can of meat
Bottled water
Empty ammo can
Shovel
Some assembly required
I think that would all depend on where you live....as far as rural or urban.....climate.....etc. I look forward to seeing his take on it. These types of channels are some of my absolute favorites. I can watch them for hours on end.
@@admiralsnackbar2811 Cans are heavy dead weight for a three day survival kit. GBGB has the best plan. Plus the beans will probably cause some adverse affects that you may not want to be dealing with while on the go. Just suggesting.
Thank you for the video. Very informative.
I lived alone in the forest for nine months, getting great pleasure from communicating with nature. But due to the military invasion of my country, I had to return to the city. But I still have a video archive with my adventures
You Are Aware of The Influence of AZOV BATALLION in Ukraine?
Putin Doesn't Want Nazis in Ukraine, OR Surrounded By NATO

Think About How Americans Would Feel,
IF Canada, And Mexico Were Both Communist!
Hope you’re doing well, bud. I’m ashamed of how my country (US) has failed yours. Godspeed.
Yes, I am alive, but now it is very difficult to survive in these conditions. Thank you for your concern.
I live in my truck in the mountain region. My kit is my truck. But my pack is there too. Josh's videos are always excellent thinking. Just signed up for the radio club and am learning Ham radio.
Your bush knife is sweet. I carry a case trapper, machete, it's really regional. The everglades and the 10,000 islands. Our bugout kits include canoes. It's like we're on different planets. It's cool.
I live in Miami. Which Cano are you using ? I Kayaked from Miami to the Gulf of Mexico a few times already.
I go with a kayak canoe hybrid for my bugout. More payload and no gas needed. You can bring the cabin tools..
Just started watching your videos and they are amazing! It’s been a few years since my bivouac and land nav courses in the military, so this info is such a great refresher, and provides even more information than I ever learned.
Thank you for releasing this for us Josh!
Green Beret wisdom.
Based.
Definitely one of the best videos ever on the subject. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the clearly presented knowledge. I’m prepping for my 3 children and wife and need some guidance. Thanks again for taking the time to help folks
As a father, I decided my loadout has to be slightly different. My weight is increased, but I compartmentalized my gear so that those with me can easily share the load. Bags within the bag. Two tarps: one of them a large rain fly that is light and waterproof. The other a 6x6 heavier tarp with reflective side for sleeping on or directing radiant heat from a fire. 3 disposable poncho packs, 3 survival blanlet packs ensure those three have protection on the way and can also be added to sleep situations without taking up much weight. Im at 25lbs but I think that is really good considering I pack extra for the family.
@@thathaslage that makes a lot of sense to me. I will incorporate some of these tips in mine as well. Thank you for taking the time to comment
Another excellent video sir, thank you for what you do.
As always thanks for share your super valuable knowledge!!!
One of the best light weight bug out bag vids out there. For all the right reasons. Thank you for bringing that all together.
The needs don’t change! Joshua that’s so on point… Thanks, I really needed to hear that.
Thank you Sir! Just found your channel and it’s exactly what I needed. I already been storing and prepping for a long time, but teaching my carry bag contents helps me so much. Thank you very much for your information. Stay strong everyone.
100% on poncho and poncho liner.👍👍
This guy is amazing - "I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze" (in regards to bringing tent stakes) - love it.
Thank you for taking the time to make such an in depth video.
Just bought your book and already learned so much! Hopefully I won't have to implement any of it, but I'm glad to be somewhat prepared if things go south. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! Godspeed
Your no nonsense, practical video has a wealth of useful information that I have yet to see anywhere else, Thank you for taking this subject to the next level
You are a hero and a mentor like no other. Thank you for these videos, they cut right too the quick. Two is one and one is none.
I love "By the numbers" videos. Thanks.
Legend! Knowledge is power. Know more and pack less. Not pushing brands, just straight up good advice.
Watching you, listening to you, calms me down. You're absolutely GrayT. Wish you nothing but the best, Josh.
I've learned so much from you sir!!! People think I'm crazy when I tell them...just a little prep goes a long way.
Never watched a video like this. I do keep a go back with me. Your kit is basically what I keep. Plus or minus a few items. Thank you sir
Absolutely. I’m Floridian, but I agree with this mindset. I swap out sleeping bag for mosquito netting and hammock.
thanks for putting this video together, very appreciated! I've been "revisiting" my bags/preps and feel a lot better seeing videos like this and others that show me I'm in the right ballpark with where I went after gaining more experience.
I ride public transit as part of my commute, so I've decided on a hybrid/modular approach for getting home. I have things I keep at work and in the car, and on my person. The stuff at work can be added to my bag to get me to my car, where I have more supplies and a bigger bag to then get home with, if possible. I think it should work pretty well. There's plenty of water along the route and I've planned at least two places I can put a cache or two along the way as well.
Next goal is to get the courage to ride the train to the station I get off at for work and then walk my ass back to my car over a weekend lol...
Simple yet effective! Thanks for the inspiration!
I have to say I truly appreciate your content. My job takes me hours away from home almost everyday. Across and trough a huge variety of climates and terrains. And your channel reinforces the principle of knowledge over gear.
My road bag contains the simple essentials needed to adapt to my circumstances. There is no one bag fits all solution. Thanks for the vids. Ive learned much from you.
Thanks again for very informative video as always. On the Leatherman tools I found the small flathead screwdriver tip as a great awl to start holes in wood besides being able to tighten screws in glasses.
Leatherman surge featured at 49 mins is great, has 2 blades, serated and standard, larger blade than wave etc, i like having full length serated for cord cutting and daily use, keeps the main blade razor sharp. the saw blade is removable as uses bosch jigsaw blade, so i got a multipack of assorted bosch and now my leatherman has a hacksaw!
I have the Surge as it is the big assed weatherman in case you need to really go at it.
Awesome to use cotton flats like that!
Great presentation, your experience speaks volumes, thanks for taking us along. One thing I’ve always passed along is a POV/vehicle bag. Just an old duffle bag or even a plastic tub kept in your vehicle that let’s you handle emergencies better IF you’re ever stranded along with a go bag. IE water, simple smart foods enough for 72 hours and some emergency gear like a reflective silver/orange poncho for shelter and heat and signaling as well. A first aid kit is an imperative too because you just never know. Also be sure to change it up for the seasons (by rotating food, batteries and clothing) for trip you may be planning to take. A wool blanket is a must for any season. Anyway I’m a huge believer in go bags even more so now since retiring in 2019. I won’t leave home without one😉✌🏼Stay safe brother.
Great video and content. I’m looking forward to taking a few of your courses!
I like how the main motive here is the bug out itself and the gear facilitates that goal foremost. Great information
I remember when we used to build bugout bags with EVERYTHING.... not thinking we could barely carry all that up the street.
Excellent kit thank you
Excited to watch this video.
Thanks bro ,your bag is simple and easy to carry
Your vids are the most practical I've seen on this subject. Ur a great teacher, I appreciate you putting these out for folks for free. Thanx!
Great practical information.
Thank you sir.
Thanks for this you articulate the concepts really well.
Glad I found your channel. You make better sense of all the different types of bags and speak the truth. People’s needs or comforts are different then others. I had to subscribe 👍👍 on the video!
Great video ! I have seen a bunch of videos on this subject, I really like that you informed us on the differences between the different types of of bag types , I.N.C.H , B.O.B, AND G.H.B , I thought they were all just different names used for the same type of bag, so thank you for clearing that up, I would like to add to the fuel conservation of the lighter portion of the video, when you first buy your candles pre -light them at home dont use the lighter from your pack that would defeat the purpose for saving fuel, light wic for just a few seconds then blow them out, a carbonized wic will take a flame quicker then a wic that hasn't been lit yet saving you a few seconds more of fuel, also the pre-chard wick will take a spark from a ferro rod if it is frayed a little bit, and with some good aim🎯
Been there so many times this , not a soul to be seen ❤ it truly is a little piece of heaven ❤
Great video! For the weight I would add a pair of dry socks and especially for me at least one spare set of eye glasses...for sure.
That's great information. Thanks for sharing!👍
I like the method you put down for putting a bag together, well done. I will have to make some small changes. Thanks for your time!
Thanks for all you do, love how you are both practical and humorous, and that you're out there making things simpler and easier for folks.
Great video. Very well presented.
Charles
And this is the best channel I have found for survival info THANK YOU
One of the best "bag" videos I've ever seen. I've thought many of the same points when seeing so many videos about all the stuff people recommend.
I really enjoy your videos and the knowledge you impart thanks
Excellent point about the mechanical pencils. Thanks for explaining, the fineness aspect didn't occur to me.
Thank for your video. They gave us this information when I was in the Army. Army vet 1976-1978.
Interesting considering how much kit soldiers carry nowadays.
Nicely done thank you!!!
Just the best advice on this topic I've seen
Thanks for your service. I retired from the Army as well albeit I was just a pogue 13E that never went to any schools at all except the ones I had to go to. I enjoy your videos the Dakota fire pit one especially. I probably won't bother with the bag if it gets bad enough to have to bug out getting away from western Washington state will be impossible without a sailboat regardless. Good luck with your channel.
So informative and detailed, one of the best I've ever seen 👏💪
Been following you for about 7 or 8 years. Blessings!
I appreciate the support!
Great video and information. Thanks for sharing. Happy Memorial Day and thank you all for your service. Peace.
I think you've given the best explanation I've ever heard in thousands of YT videos. Excellent information. Thank you very much, from Córdoba, Argentina.
Wow thank you all so much!
Great video learned a lot,a person with so much experience.
Great video, very informative as always.
Thanks brother for sharing your knowledge. I just happen to stumble across your page. I travel 45 miles to and from work and been wanting to put something together. This helped a lot.
this might be about the 4th time i watched this video since it come out. i keep coming up with new ideas each time.
The only reason I have fishing gear in my get home bag is because it fits into my exotac ripspool. A few tiny hooks and sinkers to go with the cordage provided. Catch brim or spec and have additional calories if I’m stuck a couple nights in the swamps here in central Florida. Excellent work on your part as always
Thanks for a great video!
Thank You Sir !!!
Thanks buddy ✅
For wet weather, keep bread bags to put over your socks and to help keep feet dry, as well as a small container of foot powder. Minimal space and weight. Wet feet the first night out and then your sick isn’t good.
An item you should consider if you have room is wet wipes. Reason being you can clean yourself anywhere with 2-3 wet wipes.
I can wipe my ass clean with one in an emergency
Wet wipes are a great multi purpose piece of gear. Clean yourself, your gear and guns if need be. They’re combustible, you can use them in first aid scenarios. Very multi purpose and lightweight
Not necessary unless you're a baby or, a woman. And even then, NOT NECESSARY. 🙄🙄🙄
@@m.e.c.j.5125 they forget the chapstick (can be used as lube) and deodorant (can be used as a flame thrower)
Better than toilet roll too as if they get wet they still work 🤣 don’t have to worry about taking a shit in the rain.
This guy is great! New subscriber from a person concerned with the state of the world and repulsed by the dominant firearms and prepping community
Ahh another hate filled fascist liberal
I got 2 stealth angel 72hr bags last year. they were great kits with some very thoughtfull gear. the bags themselves are great also and they had room for a bunch of other items my experience has deemed necessary. it has bloomed into like 5 bags that will all go at once. but one sa bag in each car when they leave the house is my rule for daily movement
thank you for your service my man. past and current. stay safe and respect from Redding California
An awesome Bug out Bag video. Very concise and practical.
Great video, Brother! Thank You so much
Thank you.
