    I've had this exact bag for 4 years now. I've used as a duty bag, an edc bag and haversack. I will freely admit I've given it _rough_ use, but I still use it everyday. The padding on the back is freaking excellent. The shoulder pad is good as well, I've loaded this bag with a stainless steel water bottle and a firearm with extra ammo, on top of what daily/daily stuff I carried in all the other compartments. It holds everything I want it to hold and has been my edc and get home bag since I bought it.

    To increase its life span from the usual 5 year shelf life of similar bars to 20 years it needs to be dry, very dry. Moisture and fat are the enemy of long term storage. These bars are designed to be stored and forgotten about until needed. If you're 50 when you store them you can sleep easy untill your 70. Why store a product that only lasts 5 years when you can have one that lasts 20. Dryness and taste won't be an issue when you're starving.

    Hello, you say it should take you 2 days to get home so count on 3 in case you have to take a detour. In general your get home bag is excellent but you could drop a few things, you have too much fire starting stuff so keep only the 2 Bic lighters & leave the rest, if push come to shove you will only start a fire twice. I personally would keep the poncho but that could be replaced with a space blanket, keep 3 of those, one for shelter or rain, one for warmth & one extra. I also have a powerbank with the solar panels, it works well but you could replace it with something smaller. You can keep the pri-bar, sometimes we need to open something. For cordage you can use a survival bracelet & leave the paracord. Leave the deoderant, smelling bad will keep unwanted people from you. You can drop the second multitool. Medical, food & water must stay.

    • @simplepreparedness

    Fake paracord doesn't make this a deal breaker for me. The entire system is where the value is. I tossed a maxpedition pouch on there and I can store all my medical along with charger and cord. The plastic carabiner and paracord suck no doubt but it can be replaced for a low price. The only real issue is not made in America.

    • @simplepreparedness
      @simplepreparedness Рік тому

      Agree. The cordage and Juck carabiners aren’t a deal breaker and the cordage coming unraveled after 4-5 grabs isn’t either. Not being made in USA sucks too but again not a deal breaker. The piss poor stitching combined with all that plus the price is though. I Just can’t say it’s worth the money, personal opinion. I still use it though and it does a good job of keeping my pockets lighter but I wouldn’t buy it again.

    No pew pew and freedom seeds? I carry much of what you carry and I'm a older guy as well. I would ditch the prying tool, extra cordage.. I would also make a rapid ridge line and add 4 aluminum or titanium tent stakes in case you needed to stop for the night. Nine out of ten times, I have 30 plus miles to get home. I know I will not be walking 30 miles in one day. I would definitely put a single walled stainless container of some sort, even if it's a canteen and a canteen cup be able to boil water for coffee, cooking or water purification. All the other stuff I have is in my BOB. Between my get home bag contents and my Bob contents combined, it will hold all the BOB stuff I would need. I like your choice of head lamp. I have the Prinston Tec Vizz. I have batteries for it and it's a good to go. I prefer the Vizz because of it going straight to red lights first, so I don't have a bright light when I don't want it. Worth the extra weight to me. If you want to go minimal, the Grey Bear Green Beret's bag is pretty simple, light but has all you need to survive.

      Appreciate the comment and the recommendations. There are freedom seeds and a pew pew I just don’t show that stuff here. Prefer to keep things like that to myself. I have made a lot of changes since that video and completely redid the bag focusing on the area I’m in and some changes that have occurred. It’s lighter, smaller and more comfortable. Made some big changes but I think it will work for me. I’ve gotten it out a few times but definitely need more time with it to see if there’s anything else that would help or hinder me. Like yourself I’ve taken into consideration that I’m not going to be making a 30 plus mile trip home in one day, especially if Shtf. Agin I appreciate the comment and recommendations. Be safe out there brother.
