Very nice kit. I don't find a ax useful. I carry a saw and a machete. Ax is heavy and it shows on the pack. My other suggestions. First i carry a twig stove and alcohol. I don't like fuel i can't tell how much is left. The other is a small cast iron frying pan. Yes its heavy but it cooks food on any surface much better. The twig stove is my go to and its titanium. Always find fuel. But very nice setup. The other thing is using your gear.
My bag carries 1 pound of Walnut halves, 3000 calories, shelf stable, no cook, 65% fat + 14% protein + 14% carbs - 7% soluble fiber, plus a host of vitamins & minerals, good for 2 days emergency food. A person (or squirrel) can survive on Walnuts.
I'm just curious, was there any specific reason you chose walnuts over say cashews, almonds, hazel nuts, etc? I only looked into walnuts, almonds, and cashews and they all seem roughly the same, almonds having higher protein, cashews higher carbs, and walnuts having higher fats and calories, but the difference is very little between the 3. I didn't know if it was because of vitamins or personal preference or something else. Thanks for your time
@@jaythus3181 I chose Walnuts because the high fat content for energy and the fiber is soluble Fiber, can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Pecans have insoluble fiber which shoots through digestive tract, not good on trail because it makes me poop too frequently, like every few miles. Peanuts, Pistachios, & Cashews are mostly carbs so I eat those as last resort, I want fat for energy, not carbs because of type 2 diabetes. Almonds are OK, I prefer Walnuts.
Shelled walnuts (any shelled nut, really) isn't shelf stable long term. Maybe a month or two. After that the high amount of polyunsaturated fats easily turns rancid. I guess you could vacuum pack them for longer life, but I'm not sure how much that would add. We have nuts turn on us all the time just stored at room temperature. This is why I usually try to keep them in the fridge or freezer.
@@elisebrown5157 I usually eat a pound of Walnuts a week as my major snack food, they have expiration dates on the package usually in about a year but I eat them long before that date. Just went in a 3 day hike on AT eating mostly Walnuts, gave me plenty of energy but I did feel like I needed salt, raw Walnuts are unsalted.
Great kit. We are so lucky and privileged to have these things. Recently four children ages 13 to 11 months survived 40 days in the Colombian jungle with absolutely nothing after having survived a plane crash. And all were safe and sound. I wonder if any of us could do that unprepared.
They were also native kids so they knew jungle vegetation. The jungle is dangerous but it is the best place to find food. Someone crashes in Alaska with nothing depending on weather don't see them lasting a few days. Environment is a big deal. I believe everyone needs a bag setup for 72hr. Water filter cook kit sleeping gear and some food. I use a poncho and a poncho liner. I also have a hammock. And a tarp with a air mattress. My filter has a charcoal element besides the other filter. It is rebuildable. Cook kit wood stove and alcohol. Metal water bottle and cup and fire gear ferro rod, lighter. That is the basic everything else is comforting
I like what you did here. Basic food, water, fire, shelter, sleep system. You need land navigation and medical kit. Sleeping pad. Rain gear. Some other things. I would trade the hatchet for a light pruning saw unless you need a weapon. These bags are hard to do until you realize that no matter whether you are bugging out, bugging in, or whatever you need mostly the same gear because you are providing for the same basic needs plus mission specific stuff. Then it comes together.
A lot of people don't carry backpacks on a regular basis, for many the last time was in school in a poor fitting pack with a few books. I've backpacked through New England and now I'm retired in rural Iowa. This year I've backpacked close to 1,100 miles with a 17 to 27 pound load. I've worn out a couple pair of lightweight walking boots every year since retiring. My dog loves going on walks with me. My current pack has about 1,500 miles on it and is almost due for replacement. The most important thing I can say is spend one evening a week walking year round through town or out in the woods with your pack. Get used to the feel, make adjustments, swap out things depending upon season. Also have your carry weapons, your wallet, your phone accessible. Year round, heat of summer, cold of winter, rough terrain, sidewalks, ice, snow, wind, rain, get known as that guy that walks with a pack. Then you will be ready to go somewhere in an emergency. Next comment, just about any American can go 24 hours without food. If you are planning to stop to cook you are not rushing home. Final comment, fifty bucks in cash can often get you further and faster than well broken in shoes. Hint, spread it among different places in the pack, on your body.
Wow, that's a lot of hiking. My goal this year is to do some hiking with my boys. And yeah for that type of stuff. I have totally different packs and total different gear that weigh a lot less. Thanks for the comment. Really appreciate the feedback. I've had to use this gear once when we were doing some scouting, came back to the truck and two flat tires we had to hike out to the main road to get cell phone coverage. The pack that I had with me was awesome did it Job this pack is not the lightest I know . Again, thank you so much for watching the video. I really appreciate it.
Greetings from Ochoco Bushcraft over in Prineville Oregon. Curious as to what part of Oregon you are in? My videos are all done from Central Oregon country. Im guessing you're Western?. Nice setup on your bag.
It's a nice kit you have but I would add a decent compass and a map of my area, you never know when that may come in handy. Gloves and a wool hat should be added also.
Very well put together video, very smart and intelligently made choices. Those platypus flat pack water bottles are legit. I always like to carry a little bit of a maintenance kit though, I'm only a quarter of the way through the video so I hope you have a little syringe to reverse flow that water filter in order to clean it, get three times the amount of uses out of it, and maybe there is a puck that you can use to sharpen that knife along with that ax, and it's always good idea to carry with the idea of redundancy in mind, like I would have two or three of those little water filtration kits. A really good video.
Haha! Literally the moment that I pressed play again you started talking about the sharpening stone that's fantastic. Very solid, I've seen an unfortunate amount of individuals who don't carry a sharpening stone or didn't say that they had one immediately within their possession.
I keep a proper cook set (Trangia 25) with easy to cook chow, a sleeping bag and proper camping gear in the back of my car. I also have a lightweight backpack containing ready to eat snacks, rain gear, a puffy jacket and a couple of bottles of water as my get home bag because at my age and if I have to hoof it, I could not possibly carry to much weight. Another couple items I carry is a sillcock key, water filter and iodine tablets to purify water on the move. A road map with a GPS are in my gear too. Plus I am always armed as well with plenty of ammo. Great video to get people thinking.
Looks great. If it works for you then even better. These are callednget home bags but maybe getting home isnt the objective? There may be times where staying put or moving onto another location is called for. It really a traveling bag because we dont always know where we'll end up
My two cents. Its a good bugout bag but its wayyy too big n heavy to be considered a get home bag. A get home bag needs to be as light as possible with the bare minimum so u can be fast and it wont tire u out. U cant stop and cook food in a get home situation, and u should be able to jog a part of the way. Thats how i look at it. Im not leaving my family home a second longer than needed
I have 2 x 40oz KKanteens, I'm wondering if I should only carry one for weight reasons (its only 2.5lbs though), but having extra water sure is nice at the end of the day when you don't have to find or filter water
Get yourself an emergency reflective tarp blanket. I use green propane for my stove there's adapters for butane stoves. Just get used to boiling food. I do steaks fajitas chicken bone broth eggs, you name it. 14:00 18:00 awesome I saw a few here in CA recently. You should try creamy soup with mushroom gravy on your meats. One of my faves. Use sour cream and hot sauce.
Sorry, no links, but I'll update my description with the names of the stuff that I have in my bag. Thanks for watching the video. I really appreciate it.
I've started to call mine an emergency back? One it causes people to think about be prepared. They tend to roll there eyes into the back of their head if I talk about the what if. But if I present to them the reasons you did in your video, then they start to consider the bag as a good idea. Crazy, but it works. Enjoy the mushrooms with butter!! Great video.
Lol. Yeah, I get the same looks and comments from people too. Unfortunately I had to use this pack once and everything worked like it was supposed to. Thank you so much for watching the video and supporting. Really appreciate it.
Dude....really. First things first. Of course I really appreciate the time you took to make this video for all of us to see. Of course this is a very interesting topic. And the video in itself is great. Otherwise I wouldn't be here right? But a well meant point of criticism...this bag had literally nothing that wasn't shown before. This is the utmost basic standard no creativity bag you could ever show. But again...I truly appreciate your afford. Maybe next time a little more creative and I'm sure you will get a lot (more) followers.
First of all. Thanks for watching and commenting on the video. Really really appreciate it. Totally understand your point. A lot of videos on this topic. But the stuff in my bag is the stuff that's worked for me. And believe it or not I've had to use it when truck had two flat tires. My next video is going to be about preparing your truck/car for going out in the woods. Kind of a compliment to this video. Again, thank you so much for watching. It really means a lot.

What type of pack are you using and if you put the wool blanket in a plastic bag it would stay dry and clean and the bag can be used for other things.
Very well put together video, very smart and intelligently made choices.

Great gear. Its never wrong to have it near when your out far away from everything
Such awesome tips! I need to make one now!

Jog? Really? Through the woods? What if you a trucker and you are 200 miles away from home?
Thank you for your information! Congrats on finding shrooms! They are pronounced Shan trells
You are pronouncing the R before the T !
