Do Americans actually call it a "boo-boo" kit?! I'm American and I haven't heard this, or if I have, its so stupid my mind has utterly rejected it and refused to remember.
Today: leisuretime so i watch nearly all of your vids. Gear couldn‘t be better, cause Born in Military practice. Tom, Congrats! WE Booth know talkin‘ about! Greetings from 🇩🇪. Glück ab!
From an American veteran to a British veteran, thank you for your service to your country and to NATO. This is one of the best, if not the best, bug out bags I have seen on You Tube...well done sir. Wow, you and I must have had gone to the same survival school. I taught BuddyCare/Survival, emergency medical courses and CPR in the Air Force. As a paramedic with several air rescue missions I strongly believe in being prepared, not only with gear but also in training. I've seen many people with good bug out bags or get home bags and think they are ready to survive a SHTF event. Like you and I, we have gone into the field and used our kits to ensure they are comprehensive enough to survive; and we train by reading, watching videos or actually attending a school such as Dave Canterbury's School of Self Reliance. I've been hiking and backpacking since I was 10 years old (now 73) and learned from experience and military survival training. This video should be offered in survival training courses. I like the Kifaru pack concept. I use an Emerson chest pack, as well as other brands, for an additional survival kit. Should I ever get separated from my main pack the Emerson is well equipped to survive and protect myself from the weather elements and wild animals, especially the two-legged variety. I also packed a Baofeng UV5R radio that picks up weather alerts, news and nearby local radio stations. I am working on a ham license but can use the radio in an emergency.
Thanks Alexander, appreciate it. I think most of us that have served and deployed to hostile environments will have the same mindset, and will know what is important to prioritise, as opposed to some pretender that wants to pack their kit full of knives and gadgets. As you mentioned, training and experience is as least as important as what you're carrying, if not more. I don't carry a radio as the distances between towns and cities aren't too far here in the UK. Also we don't experience disastrous weather events (currently) here yet, so we don't have emergency radio services like you do in the USA. Thanks for your comments and thankyou for your service too mate.
Making my way through your back catalogue of videos, well presented and clear. Watched many who claim to know what they do but you can clearly see they don't just blagging it. Some good tips and tricks from someone who clearly has had the experience.
2 years ago we had massive wild fires here in Sweden and lots of people evacuated, roads closed and many functions we take for granted in society was shut down around where the fires was so it can happen anywhere. Snow is most of the time no problem here because most people are prepared and used to heavy snowfall. Great video and very informative. Thank you from Sweden
I've been working my way through your videos and I must say, I'm impressed. Your time in the paras was obviously well spent. I picked up a few pointers and have shared your video on other platforms. Thanks for sharing, Mate!
Thanks for pointing out ordnance survey custom maps! I have been stumped on how I would create a local map for months. My tip with regards to the notepad: Don't just leave it empty. Fill it with notes such as radio frequencies, local wild edibles, plant/tree identification, herbal medicine, bushcraft tools/weapons/traps etc.
This is one of the best kits I’ve seen on UA-cam!! You have gear that I will definitely incorporate into my kit. I will be watching this video several times to make sure I’m properly prepared. Thank you for sharing.
Thank u so very much Sir from Pennsylvania USA . 63 yr old gal alone with little dog. I looked for years for truly honest video what u need. Sincerely this is the most superb information. I'm very very grateful. I don't know what type of "bag " to hold it all is best.though... do u go to a military shop? God bless keep safe dear Sir thank u again. You're a good man.
Well done! I've been working on my kit for over 18 years I like your no BS for some of the stuff it's right along my thought process. I will have to try out the bag inside the cook it that's great thanks brother stay safe stay warm
Since Ukraine I’ve completely rethought my bug out bag. I agree with you that so many are totally unrealistic. I’m no military girl so my thinking is evac to another country by train. I’ve studied the Ukraine videos and know wheels are a no go. A backpack is the best thing. Thus my kit covers 3 days travelling by numerous trains. My categories are fire, water, clothes,edibles, shelter, security, first aid and meds, important docs, survival, hygiene, sewing, pets, other misc, tech, treasures and navigation. It all (except pets stuff) fits in two bags (19 litre carry on and a 30 litre back pack). Realistically living in the UK I don’t think I will bushcraft it in an evacuation - too old for that. My survival kit has the basic bushcraft I’d I need too. The pet cat is harnessed trained, and his small kit will fit in my bag if need be, and he has a lightweight carrier with a cross body shoulder strap I made from webbing etc.
that's one way to think about it, maybe depending on situation we do actually need to move to mainland, but tbf i'd rather take my chances here than cross to mainland and face 10x as much refugees moving in every which direction. i'd imagine people will actually be coming from the other direction as the UK has generally less disasters than the mainland, good water as OP said too, and mostly self-sufficent fossil / renewable resources if it comes to that. for bug out, i'd only use it if my city gets fk'd by something and have to relocate to another city in the UK. short distance, preferably no longer than 3 day trek. if it comes to traveling to mainland, bets are off anyways, it will be a huge hassle and a single pack won't cut it (especially not if you're helping people along the way).
Good stuff, interesting - thanks. I liked the way you focused on practicality and also how you put it all into context in your intro, with your considerations & categories. Thanks a lot.
Thanks mate! I do think that a lot of people making Bug Out Bags aren't in touch with reality! I'd love to see some of them spend a few days out with their bags of knives, torches and gadgets....
A big thing no one ever mentions, (perhapse its a given?) Is some smpty space or some other means of carrying things you collect while out and about. If you set up camp somewhere and go out with your day pack it's probably to go and get somthing like food or water. Having space for that to be hands free is so useful. I like your videos, you've given me a gew ideas for gaps in my current emergency bag 👍
Oh Yes, snoring or non snoring, pretty similar packs. Good stuff. Just recently I've been swatting up on my map reading and navigation. We can over trust modern kit and gadgets, but a good knowledge of field craft keeps you safe, took me back to my cadets days as a kid running around Wiltshire or Hampshire orienteering etc. as a sweaty sock we had similar training to a point.
Excellent video, thanks, { I"m not a 5 year old kid, or an American } LOL. I live in Florida USA. My environment is Tropical. semi Tropical, we get cold snaps during the winter months, yes it gets chilly in Florida, but fortunately I do not need to pack heavy. About 30 pounds max. I was thinking of buying a Karrimor pack, I think you convinced me to buy one, my old ALICE is getting long in the tooth, I use the medium ALICE pack the Hellcat conversion, fastex buckle upgrades and actually fashioned a water blader to the pack, ( via ) that air space between my back and the frame, sits in there pretty well....Good luck in all future endeavors.
Good to see quality gear that is clearly been in use with detailed descriptions of why and how. In the current youtube meta a lot of armchair survivalists are mucking up the water.
Great load out. Well said on the teeth brushing, people who do not brush will be in a state as mouth infections and poor dental health can really knock you about with your general health. Hip flask is a winner.
MULTI VITAMINS!!! Finally lol. Excellent in depth video from someone who actually uses his kit! I live in the Outer Hebrides and waterproofing is essential. Kit tip, Sabre 2.0 jacket from 5.11 feels like a soft shell but is waterproof and windproof with great pit zips and pockets with a deep hood. Good drills mate.
Not a boo-boo kit, cause I'm not 5 and not an American! Hahaha, I love it and I'm not offended. I like how you call the BS out there. Keep up the good work.
Every Man an Emperor! I can't believe I've just found your channel now Tom. UA-cam certainly works in mysterious ways. Catching up on your back catalogue here now. Excellent knowledge to be had. I'm 57 now, and I envy you so much you wouldn't believe. My dad, god rest his soul, was in 2 Para. He never really talked about it much except for the jumps. I know he was stationed in a Jerusalem as his old Indian ink tattoo that was blurred even when I was a kid read 2 Para Jerusalem wrapped around the wings. (I still have his cap badge) I wasn't allowed to join because the Military were the ones who found out I was born with a heart problem when I went to sign up. I was crushed. But if I hadn't had gone it wouldn't have been discovered and I'd almost certainly be dead a long long time ago. Had 5 heart ops since then but I don't let it stop me doing what I've always loved. But at 57, I need to start and lighten the loads now....a lot lol. I find that very problematic when I'm used to hauling just about everything. So I'm going to trawl your videos with a pen and paper here and make notes.. Oh god I hate getting old. Enjoying what Ive seen so far though. Some excellent food for thought here. You are indeed an Emperor Sir, and I have duly subscribed. I wish you and your channel all the best. Regards. Ian
Hey Ian, thanks mate, l appreciate it. Sorry to hear about your heart problem, but good on you for still getting out there. I plan to make a video about how to pack light, so hopefully that’ll be of interest. I also run outdoors courses if you’re interested, looking at kit packing, campsite selection, navigation in the hills etc.
Oh Ive got an absolute mountain of kit. For camping, hammocking weekenders, inch bag everything. I've been camping ever since I was ten, not just getting into it now. I love it, I've always loved the self reliance thing about it. But as I say, I'm getting on now, things are getting harder. I think it's definitely time to drop my Sabre 100 and get down to 50 or 60 litre bergens. Currently it's a toss up between A smaller Sabre that will still take my rockets or the Predator. But thank you for the course info. I look forward to your video on packing light.
Great video, thanks! If you want to upgrade from the SOL bivy, try the 2gosystems Velar - same material but more roomy and has a bug screen, still only around 300g. I use this on every trip, any weather, and layer it over my sleep system.
Watched this a couple days ago along with the rest of your videos.The E&E bag caught my eye. I have one and I think this is the first I've seen of it actually used in the field. I have actually watched it a couple of times so I could write down some notes. I was a little leary at first when I saw Pathfinder in the title but was very pleased to find out it meant your unit! I knew you would have alot of real field experence because of that. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos looking forward to more. All the Best!
Cheers, yeah I've been in the field most of my adult life, I joined up at 16 and I am still serving 32 years later. Thanks for your comments, appreciate it!
First time to see your channel on you tube. Great video. A wealth of good usable information. I now know. I need to rethink. My pack. To make it better and more user friendly and practical. Grear job, good info. Thank from: texas
As a former Para Regt soldier (old school) i do enjoy your video presentations and amazing how some things do not really change. Feel i must mention something about a compass you appear to promote and that is the sunto button compass with a built in clip. it may well be a good compass however mine did separate, luckily i found the compass and used super glue to refix. It may be a good idea for readers of these comments to check theirs should they have one. Cheers Mike in County Durham
Just started to watch. Made me chuckle. Re loads of knives etc. Remember in biap at Baghdad in 2004. Yank got off herc and walked towards us.we went what the f.... He had 4 drip giving sets pre positioned on each limb. Also dressed in black from head to foot.
That trick with the tin genius! Never get my stuff quick out. Deffinitly going to do that. Maybe a good idea to get my firts aid to the side off the bag as well. Thank you for all off the good work / ideas.
Morning,finally something realistic finally.ex army myself.(REME) would be interesting to see all these walts dropped off with their shiny gear and see how they get on No point in having the gear if you don’t know how to use it.(all the gear no idea) This subject often gets frowned upon in the uk,I think because of the media. Personally my prep(bug out system) starts with the car then bags down to personal gear Fancy doing one on a vehicle system at some point? I think you’ve grabbed a lot of interest with your common sense no crap approach Just subbed and keep the vids coming.cheers Phil
Great vid and well compiled kit, can see that you jave actually used and tested your kit as some vids you see all their bug out gear is new and shiney.
New subscriber. My SHTF bag is what I use all the time. It's an army surplus haversack. Romanian I think. With the canvas shelter half. Sleep system is a berghaus bag & air mat, OD surplus bivvi to make a swag roll, with spare clothes in side. All kept in the car boot with a .22 air rifle.
11 mins in old school cape tie. Ive got one on my leatherman. Got thru security at windscale a couple of years ago with it !!! No body or pers check. I need a multi tool in case load ratchets jam or straps need cutting. Cape well is my go to for extracting leatherman from 58 knife pouch. Forward planning for next year are you doing tandems. I wanted to rv this year but things got in way. Looking forward to next year already.
Regardless of whether or not you can envision a scenario in which you'd ever need it, IF you own a car, my opinion is that it should 100% carry some degree of survival kit. Even if it's just basics, first aid kit, bottle of water, some easy keep food like crackers, torch, tools, warm clothes and blankets. I'd say I'd want more, inc. a stove and cooking stuff, plus all sorts of other stuff, alongside the immediate car basics like jump cables, spare fuel, map and tyre iron. You should always have stuff in your car that, if you had to sleep a night or two in it, away from commodities, you can do so comfortably. It's just my opinion, picked up from my mother's habit, back in the days when cars broke down and people didn't have phones and GPS. But I can't see any downside, it can't weigh you down, and can be vital in a bad turn of events when out driving.
Thanks Sam, appreciate it! I could've saved a bit of weight and bulk if I'd packed it into one bag, but I wanted to give myself a degree of modularity for scouting/recce tasks. I'll be doing a Spring/Summer BOB video later in the year which will be a stripped down version appropriate for the season.
A better option for a keychain rescue tool is the Resque Me survival tool which has a glass breaker and seatbelt cutter. Other than that spot on mate, fantastic review and keep it up
great presantation. well everybody laughs with somebody who is prepared until the s**t hits the fan. You never know what can happen. I have seen that from simple stuff like going to the beach in the summer all the way up being stuck with my family in a blizzard. As you mentioned GET TRAINING otherwise all these are useless.
There is some excellent cheap surplus items out there. German Moleskins, in tan. Look pretty civvie. Cheap tough. Norgies are good value. Old reversable softee jackets look ok in tan.
From the moment you said that you cannot decide how long an emergency could take but you could only pack for 3 or 4 days before it starts getting ridiculous I knew you knew your stuff.
So ive had a 58 pattern belt and pouches for years, use them occasionally when hiking etc. However not being able to wear it with a pack that has a waist strap has really put me off. That SAS e&E drop pouch is brilliant, i had no idea it existed, im not oging to pay what they seem to go for, but im going to look into how to drop a few molle pouches down below the belt line.... that helikon pouch also looks good, do you have a drop adaptor on that? i also have a karrimor SF pack, but made the mistake of getting the one without molle straps on it..... and the huge side pockets, very annoying when walking through doorways
The Helikon pouch shown here comes with the drop loop, they make a few different types, really good kit. Silvermans also sell a modern version of the SAS Escape Pouch, basically a PLCE version.
Karrimor SF packs were explained to me as: Predator = Molle Sabre = No Molle Otherwise the designs are identical. 30L = No zip on side pocket option. Everything over 30L = Zip on side pocket option available.
my current bag is similar to this. i dont have clothing (other than socks) in my bag itself. i have an add on that can clip to the outside with clothes in it. it weighs around 30 pounds
I think the point is that in many of these videos people ‘think’ they have an ‘omg I’ve been shot’ kit but actually they have a boo-boo kit. There’s a place for both (tabbing with blisters isn’t fun) but they shouldn’t be confused.
With an SOL bivy, a sleeping bag good for 10-15 Celcius and a softie suit I would imagine you should be good for most any season in the UK. I know coupled with the SOL bivy (been using them for years) I can push a 15 Celcius sleeping bag (the Naturehike LW180) to a bit past freezing with no issues myself.
@@PreparedPathfinder I have them in two kits currently and in another I have the 2GoSystems version that has a built in bug net. I really like it as well although it is a bit more pricey.
Very well thought out kit. I live in the US and I have a laugh at some of the bug out videos myself.. I own AR's and guns and stuff.. but find it funny at the Hollywood bags I've seen with a guy carrying his AR with 10 mags and 500 rounds of ammo and a plate carrier but doesn't have basic survival items/kit. Gotta be realistic and not so Hollywood.
Thanks mate, appreciate it. Yeah with you 100% on your comments, far too many people packing shit loads of gadgets and knives, yet forgetting the basics such as warm kit, wet weather gear or a sleeping bag. We don't have the option of prepping firearms, if we did I would be on it!
Sorry...last question, was the poncho liner you laid everything out on part of the kit as well?...I personally carry the Helikon Swagman Roll as it doubles up as a poncho liner, blanket or a lightweight zipped sleeping bag. My alternate lightweight W/P is the Helikon Poncho that can also be used as a basha.
While surfing found your channel. Good advice and presented well (BITS Course does have its uses!). With the red light on....Green on...Go! Having had to return home, from attempting to walk the Appalachian Trail last April, the former colonies (North America, Australia etc) have true wildernesses to experience and practise in, as opposed to the wild and woolly bits of UK! This comes across well. The Seven Ps are well made. The reason(s) for each piece of kit packed is reinforced with life experience dits. I still use the thin cord to tie bits of kit to my jacket/clothing to prevent its loss. The kit you chose to carry is a personal choice from the myriad of manufacturers all wanting you to part with hard earnt beer tokens. I find "pussers" rat packs filling but too heavy. I have opted for more dried food but not the pre-made dehydrated meal sachets, which are expensive, together with jerky or various salami sausages. Ever tried sriracha sauce? Smoother and can have a kick! A lightweight mid-layer, used by ANZAC SF, is a Macpac Nitro Polartec Alpha Pullover. The shop is in Christchurch NZ. You would need a relative, or a friend, living in OZ or NZ to post it to you if you chose to buy one, as they do not ship to the UK. I found this bit of kit one of the best things since sliced bread. It is warm and very lightweight. Keep the vids coming please as they add value to this vast subject matter.
Cheers mate, l take it you’re ex Bootneck? I was in NZ just before the lockdown as it goes, l have quite a few mates out there. Will have to check out that warm kit you mentioned, cheers bud 👍
@@PreparedPathfinder Once a marine always a marine! Just watching the Survival Kit "Plus" video. Little dig I heard!! You ever meet up with a chap by the name of Lloyd Green?
Ok cheers mate. I want and need to meet you. Proper switched on ABN guy. Please post dates for next year and I'll book. That was mistake this year. I should have booked paid and let everyone else sod off .😂
It looks like you have a lot more than 100 ft on both sides? I have a 100 ft hank of Titan Survivor Cord, and it's not as big as either of those. Came looking for insight on how much I should have, because I've got a 1,000 ft spool of 1000lb Titan, along with that 100ft, and some chunks of hanks and spools I've bought in the past that were already in my pack. Also have some good dock line, some cheapie Harbor Freight rope I want to replace with good climbing rope someday, 350 cord, and two sizes of shock cord. My pack is a long-term bag, and hovers around 50lbs, so I'm figuring out how much cordage I should put in it without overdoing it. If there is such a thing, when it comes to cordage. Haha
Glad I've found a really good channel at last. Thanks for the videos so far. Thought I had my kit sorted then saw your videos. If my wife asks for a divorce I'm blaming you! Superglue in the med kit ! I've always had a set of binos or monocular, and noone else ever has.....Nice one Tom. Hope to see much more.
+Prepared Pathfinder On that green ruck, it seems there are zipper tracks where side pouches attach, like on the excellent PLCE Bergen, are there? If so, can they be zipped together to make an assault pack? How many liters each are they and do they also have MOLLE on the sides? I really like that ruck, and the assault pack you have clipped to it, what are the names and capacities again ( sometimes accents make it hard for us Yanks to hear things as clearly as we should )? Love the way you put your kit together, how well it's planned as far as considerations. Every piece of your kit has definite purpose and fulfills a need, and you make an excellent point : Don't pack stuff you don't know how to use and is useless anyway. I see a lot people packing an extra 20 pounds and more of stuff they don't know how to use or need in the fist place. I do feel sorry for you guys in the U.K. because guns, mags, ammo, chest rig, pistol belt, tac gear, etc....... are very important parts of my kit ( especially in a bug out/SHTF scenario ) and, since those who wish to do you harm ( violent criminals, psychos, terrorists, and so on ) are always going to get their guns, I'm glad for my guns like my AKs, Glocks, H&Ks, Sig Saurs etc....... I'm glad for my CCW permit that lets me carry a pistol with me pretty much everywhere I go. I had to laugh at your talking about people with 7 knives in their kit because I just watched more than one guy who did exactly that, and most of the knives would be useless in the field ( one guy had a neck knife attached with some paracord onto the grab handle of his ruck, I kid you not, among 6 more knives, 2 of which would actually be useful for defense, shelter building, processing wood, and various field uses ). For blades, I carry a U.S. Marine KA-BAR and Kershaw Camp Ten (a kind of short bladed machete ) on my pistol belt, my folding saw, and a hatchet in my tool kit, and those are the only blades I need ( I do pack a small tool kit in my ruck ) and stick with surplus for my rucks and most of my kit ( military gear simply holds up better than civilian gear, at a fraction of the money ). Nice to see a well thought out kit with practical items and someone who actually uses their gear and trains with it. Tons of these kinds of videos have guys with brand new, shiny kit that looks as if they just bought and unwrapped the stuff. Excellent video, bro. You have a new sub
Thanks for your comments mate, all good points. My main motivation for starting this channel was to give some practical advice based on experience, after watching so many videos of people with shiny, new kit that they obviously hadn't used, as you mentioned. The main pack is a Karrimor Patrol 45 (45 litres capacity), and yes it is compatible with the PLCE side pouches. The smaller pack is a Kifaru E&E pack, which is 12.8 litres in capacity. I have a Summer BOB video out soon, stand by. Cheers.
Tom, great first video. Who makes the pouch for the canteen and cup? Also have you looked at Hill People Gear chest harness's for a good bit of kit. Pretty popular harness and all their kit they make here in the USA. Keep up the great work!
Holy shit... an intelligent guy. Wheres ur cast iron frying pan and 13" knife? My fear is no electricity. Warmth, water, food, medical. Anything else is just another day eating shit. New sub. NY/NJ in US checking in.
Thanks Doug. Yeah no electricity would be one of the biggest problems post disaster in my eyes too, we rely so heavily on technology these days. I think if you train to live in the worst possible environments you have a head start for when/if it happens.
"I don't call it a boo-boo kit 'cause I'm not 5-years old and I'm not American!". Hahaha. Nailed it, Tom!
😂
😂😂
I'm American and I so agree. 😊
I noticed he forgot a pillow...
Do Americans actually call it a "boo-boo" kit?!
I'm American and I haven't heard this, or if I have, its so stupid my mind has utterly rejected it and refused to remember.
Now that’s a man who actually uses his kit. Unlike others that pretend to use it in their moms basement. Keep up the great work brother.
Thanks mate, appreciate it! 👍
Adam, yes it always surprises me all these videos about bobs etc and everything is brand new, never been used. They need to get out and use it.

respect, do you recommend any ham radios on Amazon? For portability
The Air Force is a country club. LOL, " SF " Just another Marine. LOL.
Making my way through your back catalogue of videos, well presented and clear. Watched many who claim to know what they do but you can clearly see they don't just blagging it. Some good tips and tricks from someone who clearly has had the experience.
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍
For the algorithm. This needs to get out to the masses. Fantastic stuff, it's crazy to realize all the things I haven't thought of.

I've been working my way through your videos and I must say, I'm impressed. Your time in the paras was obviously well spent. I picked up a few pointers and have shared your video on other platforms. Thanks for sharing, Mate!
Thanks for this video. The best bug out bag I have seen for an actual emergency in the outdoors.
Cheers 👍
Simply, the best video I’ve seen on bug out/survival. Utrinque Paratus!,
Thanks for pointing out ordnance survey custom maps! I have been stumped on how I would create a local map for months. My tip with regards to the notepad: Don't just leave it empty. Fill it with notes such as radio frequencies, local wild edibles, plant/tree identification, herbal medicine, bushcraft tools/weapons/traps etc.
This is one of the best kits I’ve seen on UA-cam!! You have gear that I will definitely incorporate into my kit. I will be watching this video several times to make sure I’m properly prepared. Thank you for sharing.

Since Ukraine I’ve completely rethought my bug out bag. I agree with you that so many are totally unrealistic. I’m no military girl so my thinking is evac to another country by train. I’ve studied the Ukraine videos and know wheels are a no go. A backpack is the best thing. Thus my kit covers 3 days travelling by numerous trains. My categories are fire, water, clothes,edibles, shelter, security, first aid and meds, important docs, survival, hygiene, sewing, pets, other misc, tech, treasures and navigation. It all (except pets stuff) fits in two bags (19 litre carry on and a 30 litre back pack). Realistically living in the UK I don’t think I will bushcraft it in an evacuation - too old for that. My survival kit has the basic bushcraft I’d I need too. The pet cat is harnessed trained, and his small kit will fit in my bag if need be, and he has a lightweight carrier with a cross body shoulder strap I made from webbing etc.
that's one way to think about it, maybe depending on situation we do actually need to move to mainland, but tbf i'd rather take my chances here than cross to mainland and face 10x as much refugees moving in every which direction. i'd imagine people will actually be coming from the other direction as the UK has generally less disasters than the mainland, good water as OP said too, and mostly self-sufficent fossil / renewable resources if it comes to that.
for bug out, i'd only use it if my city gets fk'd by something and have to relocate to another city in the UK. short distance, preferably no longer than 3 day trek. if it comes to traveling to mainland, bets are off anyways, it will be a huge hassle and a single pack won't cut it (especially not if you're helping people along the way).
Foldable titanium cooker. Looks brilliant piece of kit. Want one.
Good stuff, interesting - thanks. I liked the way you focused on practicality and also how you put it all into context in your intro, with your considerations & categories. Thanks a lot.
Thanks mate! I do think that a lot of people making Bug Out Bags aren't in touch with reality! I'd love to see some of them spend a few days out with their bags of knives, torches and gadgets....
A big thing no one ever mentions, (perhapse its a given?) Is some smpty space or some other means of carrying things you collect while out and about. If you set up camp somewhere and go out with your day pack it's probably to go and get somthing like food or water. Having space for that to be hands free is so useful.
I like your videos, you've given me a gew ideas for gaps in my current emergency bag 👍
Oh Yes, snoring or non snoring, pretty similar packs. Good stuff. Just recently I've been swatting up on my map reading and navigation. We can over trust modern kit and gadgets, but a good knowledge of field craft keeps you safe, took me back to my cadets days as a kid running around Wiltshire or Hampshire orienteering etc. as a sweaty sock we had similar training to a point.
Excellent video with good proper information, I'm taking notes this time through. Well done indeed.
Probably the best bag video ever! Thank you!!
Cheers! 👍
Very good video. I appreciate the information in your presentation. 👍👍
Thankyou!
Very Informative! Thank you, Fred Fath N.O., La. USA👍👋
Outstanding! I can tell you've been there, done that! Those pocket rocket stoves are solid, no issues with mine.
Cheers mate! Yeah they’re a good bit of kit 👍
Excellent video, thanks, { I"m not a 5 year old kid, or an American } LOL. I live in Florida USA. My environment is Tropical. semi Tropical, we get cold snaps during the winter months, yes it gets chilly in Florida, but fortunately I do not need to pack heavy. About 30 pounds max. I was thinking of buying a Karrimor pack, I think you convinced me to buy one, my old ALICE is getting long in the tooth, I use the medium ALICE pack the Hellcat conversion, fastex buckle upgrades and actually fashioned a water blader to the pack, ( via ) that air space between my back and the frame, sits in there pretty well....Good luck in all future endeavors.
Cheers mate! 🇺🇸🇬🇧👍
Good to see quality gear that is clearly been in use with detailed descriptions of why and how. In the current youtube meta a lot of armchair survivalists are mucking up the water.
Yeah roger that, lots of brand new shiny gear being shown off hey? Cheers 👍
Outstanding! Comprehensive and inspiringly organized.
Cheers 👍
Great load out. Well said on the teeth brushing, people who do not brush will be in a state as mouth infections and poor dental health can really knock you about with your general health. Hip flask is a winner.
MULTI VITAMINS!!! Finally lol. Excellent in depth video from someone who actually uses his kit! I live in the Outer Hebrides and waterproofing is essential. Kit tip, Sabre 2.0 jacket from 5.11 feels like a soft shell but is waterproof and windproof with great pit zips and pockets with a deep hood. Good drills mate.
Cheers mate 👍
I have, multivitamins, ascorbic acid and Vitamin B energy chews in mine.
Great set up. The more you know, the less you carry.
Cheers, and good point 👍
Nicely done. I’m looking forward to your future videos.
Thanks Jeff, appreciate it!
Not a boo-boo kit, cause I'm not 5 and not an American! Hahaha, I love it and I'm not offended. I like how you call the BS out there. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate 👍
It’s great and not offensive…but the funny part is he goes on to pretty accurately describe a boo-boo kit. 🤷🏻♂️
Every Man an Emperor!
I can't believe I've just found your channel now Tom.
UA-cam certainly works in mysterious ways.
Catching up on your back catalogue here now. Excellent knowledge to be had.
I'm 57 now, and I envy you so much you wouldn't believe.
My dad, god rest his soul, was in 2 Para.
He never really talked about it much except for the jumps. I know he was stationed in a Jerusalem as his old Indian ink tattoo that was blurred even when I was a kid read 2 Para Jerusalem wrapped around the wings.
(I still have his cap badge)
I wasn't allowed to join because the Military were the ones who found out I was born with a heart problem when I went to sign up.
I was crushed.
But if I hadn't had gone it wouldn't have been discovered and I'd almost certainly be dead a long long time ago.
Had 5 heart ops since then but I don't let it stop me doing what I've always loved.
But at 57, I need to start and lighten the loads now....a lot lol.
I find that very problematic when I'm used to hauling just about everything.
So I'm going to trawl your videos with a pen and paper here and make notes..
Oh god I hate getting old.
Enjoying what Ive seen so far though. Some excellent food for thought here.
You are indeed an Emperor Sir, and I have duly subscribed.
I wish you and your channel all the best.
Regards. Ian
Hey Ian, thanks mate, l appreciate it.
Sorry to hear about your heart problem, but good on you for still getting out there. I plan to make a video about how to pack light, so hopefully that’ll be of interest.
I also run outdoors courses if you’re interested, looking at kit packing, campsite selection, navigation in the hills etc.
Oh Ive got an absolute mountain of kit. For camping, hammocking weekenders, inch bag everything. I've been camping ever since I was ten, not just getting into it now. I love it, I've always loved the self reliance thing about it. But as I say, I'm getting on now, things are getting harder. I think it's definitely time to drop my Sabre 100 and get down to 50 or 60 litre bergens. Currently it's a toss up between A smaller Sabre that will still take my rockets or the Predator. But thank you for the course info. I look forward to your video on packing light.
Great video, thanks! If you want to upgrade from the SOL bivy, try the 2gosystems Velar - same material but more roomy and has a bug screen, still only around 300g. I use this on every trip, any weather, and layer it over my sleep system.
Thank you for suggesting 2gosystems, I have not come across their products before 👍
Great video, well thought out and presented!
Good idea putting your survival kit plus in the plastic bag..👍
Thanks for this, it was most informative.
Watched this a couple days ago along with the rest of your videos.The E&E bag caught my eye. I have one and I think this is the first I've seen of it actually used in the field. I have actually watched it a couple of times so I could write down some notes. I was a little leary at first when I saw Pathfinder in the title but was very pleased to find out it meant your unit! I knew you would have alot of real field experence because of that. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos looking forward to more. All the Best!
Cheers, yeah I've been in the field most of my adult life, I joined up at 16 and I am still serving 32 years later. Thanks for your comments, appreciate it!
Great video. I like the detailed packing list. FYI: Only Marines call a first aid kit, “a boo-boo kit.”
First time to see your channel on you tube. Great video. A wealth of good usable information. I now know. I need to rethink. My pack. To make it better and more user friendly and practical. Grear job, good info.
Thank from: texas
Thanks buddy, appreciate it! 👍
If I had a pint for every time you said kit in the video ha ha God bless from Canada eh great video mate
Cheers 👍
Great video, kit is spot on.
Thanks buddy! My first trip to the USA was to North Carolina btw, I loved it!
As a former Para Regt soldier (old school) i do enjoy your video presentations and amazing how some things do not really change. Feel i
must mention something about a compass you appear to promote and that is the sunto button compass with a built in clip. it may well be
a good compass however mine did separate, luckily i found the compass and used super glue to refix. It may be a good idea for readers of these
comments to check theirs should they have one. Cheers Mike in County Durham
Thanks Mike, what Battalion did you serve with?
Just started to watch. Made me chuckle. Re loads of knives etc.

Very good review and tips, all the best from Portugal 🇵🇹👍🤩👌💪😎🏴
Thanks mate 👍
That trick with the tin genius! Never get my stuff quick out. Deffinitly going to do that. Maybe a good idea to get my firts aid to the side off the bag as well. Thank you for all off the good work / ideas.
Great vid. Better than the average for sure. Info is spot on🤙 be safe out there. Hope more videos to come
Thanks Andrew!
Morning,finally something realistic finally.ex army myself.(REME)
would be interesting to see all these walts dropped off with their shiny gear and see how they get on
No point in having the gear if you don’t know how to use it.(all the gear no idea)
This subject often gets frowned upon in the uk,I think because of the media.
Personally my prep(bug out system) starts with the car then bags down to personal gear
Fancy doing one on a vehicle system at some point?
I think you’ve grabbed a lot of interest with your common sense no crap approach
Just subbed and keep the vids coming.cheers Phil
Cheers Phil, yeah l see some daft BOB videos on here, exactly the same thoughts as you. I did one on what l carry in my car too. Cheers, Tom 👍
thanks for the video, great content 👍
Great vid and well compiled kit, can see that you jave actually used and tested your kit as some vids you see all their bug out gear is new and shiney.
Cheers, yeah there are a lot of pretenders out there!
Excellent tips! Merci beaucoup from🏴in 🇫🇷 cheers 👍
Cheers Geoff! 👍
New subscriber. My SHTF bag is what I use all the time. It's an army surplus haversack. Romanian I think. With the canvas shelter half. Sleep system is a berghaus bag & air mat, OD surplus bivvi to make a swag roll, with spare clothes in side.
All kept in the car boot with a .22 air rifle.
I would so much to be able to backpack again. I miss being out in the wild.
Cracking video. Keep them coming.
Cheers John! 👍
Can you make me a shopping list as I want all the kit you use as the stuff I use is either bad quality or is broken. Many thanks.
Roger, l’ll put a list in the description.
Great video thanks for the knowledge
11 mins in old school cape tie. Ive got one on my leatherman. Got thru security at windscale a couple of years ago with it !!!
No body or pers check. I need a multi tool in case load ratchets jam or straps need cutting. Cape well is my go to for extracting leatherman from 58 knife pouch.
Forward planning for next year are you doing tandems. I wanted to rv this year but things got in way. Looking forward to next year already.
Yes, I'll be doing them from April onwards.
Great vid, I need 1 of those stoves , up the paras , from a civvy
Regardless of whether or not you can envision a scenario in which you'd ever need it, IF you own a car, my opinion is that it should 100% carry some degree of survival kit. Even if it's just basics, first aid kit, bottle of water, some easy keep food like crackers, torch, tools, warm clothes and blankets. I'd say I'd want more, inc. a stove and cooking stuff, plus all sorts of other stuff, alongside the immediate car basics like jump cables, spare fuel, map and tyre iron.
You should always have stuff in your car that, if you had to sleep a night or two in it, away from commodities, you can do so comfortably.
It's just my opinion, picked up from my mother's habit, back in the days when cars broke down and people didn't have phones and GPS.
But I can't see any downside, it can't weigh you down, and can be vital in a bad turn of events when out driving.
Great video. No nonsense. Top man.
Best bug out bag video I’ve seen so far. Lots of good practical tips throughout cheers
Thanks Sam, appreciate it! I could've saved a bit of weight and bulk if I'd packed it into one bag, but I wanted to give myself a degree of modularity for scouting/recce tasks. I'll be doing a Spring/Summer BOB video later in the year which will be a stripped down version appropriate for the season.
Iv seen all your videos. Nice content mate. Im waiting new video of your updated bug out bag. You have new items better belt system etc.
A better option for a keychain rescue tool is the Resque Me survival tool which has a glass breaker and seatbelt cutter. Other than that spot on mate, fantastic review and keep it up
Thanks William! 👍
Thanks, just checked the product out looks perfect.
great presantation. well everybody laughs with somebody who is prepared until the s**t hits the fan. You never know what can happen. I have seen that from simple stuff like going to the beach in the summer all the way up being stuck with my family in a blizzard.
As you mentioned GET TRAINING otherwise all these are useless.
Thanks mate, much appreciated. 👍
I like its good choices on just about everything I'm from Colorado USA
Thanks for sharing, man!
cheers sir from Western Canada
Cheers mate! 👍
Great video. One of the most logical. What’s the bag you use? Couldn’t make it out in the video. Thanks.
Thankyou! It's a Karrimor SF Patrol 45 as the main bag, with a Kifaru E & E as the grab bag.
There is some excellent cheap surplus items out there. German Moleskins, in tan. Look pretty civvie. Cheap tough. Norgies are good value. Old reversable softee jackets look ok in tan.
From the moment you said that you cannot decide how long an emergency could take but you could only pack for 3 or 4 days before it starts getting ridiculous I knew you knew your stuff.
So ive had a 58 pattern belt and pouches for years, use them occasionally when hiking etc. However not being able to wear it with a pack that has a waist strap has really put me off. That SAS e&E drop pouch is brilliant, i had no idea it existed, im not oging to pay what they seem to go for, but im going to look into how to drop a few molle pouches down below the belt line.... that helikon pouch also looks good, do you have a drop adaptor on that?
i also have a karrimor SF pack, but made the mistake of getting the one without molle straps on it..... and the huge side pockets, very annoying when walking through doorways
The Helikon pouch shown here comes with the drop loop, they make a few different types, really good kit. Silvermans also sell a modern version of the SAS Escape Pouch, basically a PLCE version.
Karrimor SF packs were explained to me as:
Predator = Molle
Sabre = No Molle
Otherwise the designs are identical.
30L = No zip on side pocket option.
Everything over 30L = Zip on side pocket option available.
Top video great set up 👍👍👍
Thanks mate 👍
that 90s things is legit
Good stuff 🤠
my current bag is similar to this. i dont have clothing (other than socks) in my bag itself. i have an add on that can clip to the outside with clothes in it. it weighs around 30 pounds
Roger, this gear weighs 37lbs all up, including water, food and the belt kit. That's not a bad weight for a realistic winter set up for 3+ days.
@@PreparedPathfinder i was counting my pack dry. with water it'd be prob closer to your bags weight
Top notch video there mate. Just subscribed to your channel. Sounds like you know your stuff. Take care pal 👍
Cheers mate 👍
Awesome vid dude, useful info 🤙🏻
Cheers mate
this to other kits... it looks very used ... cool
Cheers! 👍
Hi in my country not legal to carry fixed blades I have victorinox Spartan. Is this enough for bug out bag?
Same here unless you have a good reason to. Yes it should be mate.
Great kit, as an American I would never call my 1st aid kit a boo boo kit 😂, I’d call mine a medical kit or a omg I’ve just been shot kit
I think the point is that in many of these videos people ‘think’ they have an ‘omg I’ve been shot’ kit but actually they have a boo-boo kit. There’s a place for both (tabbing with blisters isn’t fun) but they shouldn’t be confused.
Great video, subbed.
Cheers mate 👍
Great vid thanks. What make of sleeping pad is that, cheers?
Thanks Jack. It’s a Sea to Summit one.
With an SOL bivy, a sleeping bag good for 10-15 Celcius and a softie suit I would imagine you should be good for most any season in the UK. I know coupled with the SOL bivy (been using them for years) I can push a 15 Celcius sleeping bag (the Naturehike LW180) to a bit past freezing with no issues myself.
Yeah it's a decent bit of kit, lightweight too.
@@PreparedPathfinder I have them in two kits currently and in another I have the 2GoSystems version that has a built in bug net. I really like it as well although it is a bit more pricey.
Absolutely outstanding kit thank you! Just subcribed. ATB Sam Adler from Washington state USA
Thanks Sam, appreciate it! I've been to the States many times, but I have yet to visit Washington state.
Very well thought out kit. I live in the US and I have a laugh at some of the bug out videos myself.. I own AR's and guns and stuff.. but find it funny at the Hollywood bags I've seen with a guy carrying his AR with 10 mags and 500 rounds of ammo and a plate carrier but doesn't have basic survival items/kit. Gotta be realistic and not so Hollywood.
Thanks mate, appreciate it. Yeah with you 100% on your comments, far too many people packing shit loads of gadgets and knives, yet forgetting the basics such as warm kit, wet weather gear or a sleeping bag. We don't have the option of prepping firearms, if we did I would be on it!
@@PreparedPathfinder yeah but politics are trying to take that right from us everyday... might succeed. I agree. Thanks and subscribed.
With reference to your primary FAK, you didn't mention Celox / Hemostatic dressing.. was that in the plastic bag with your other wound pads etc?
Yes mate.
@@PreparedPathfinder Cheers 👍
Sorry...last question, was the poncho liner you laid everything out on part of the kit as well?...I personally carry the Helikon Swagman Roll as it doubles up as a poncho liner, blanket or a lightweight zipped sleeping bag.
My alternate lightweight W/P is the Helikon Poncho that can also be used as a basha.
@@greghardman5064 no, that’s not part of my kit.
Finally, a Brit worth watching.
Thanks Trudy, appreciate it!
Huh! You haven't a clue! Try Hidden Valley Bushcraft.
Good info 🇦🇺
Any links to your favourite shemah?
While surfing found your channel. Good advice and presented well (BITS Course does have its uses!). With the red light on....Green on...Go!
Having had to return home, from attempting to walk the Appalachian Trail last April, the former colonies (North America, Australia etc) have true wildernesses to experience and practise in, as opposed to the wild and woolly bits of UK! This comes across well. The Seven Ps are well made. The reason(s) for each piece of kit packed is reinforced with life experience dits. I still use the thin cord to tie bits of kit to my jacket/clothing to prevent its loss.
The kit you chose to carry is a personal choice from the myriad of manufacturers all wanting you to part with hard earnt beer tokens. I find "pussers" rat packs filling but too heavy. I have opted for more dried food but not the pre-made dehydrated meal sachets, which are expensive, together with jerky or various salami sausages. Ever tried sriracha sauce? Smoother and can have a kick!
A lightweight mid-layer, used by ANZAC SF, is a Macpac Nitro Polartec Alpha Pullover. The shop is in Christchurch NZ. You would need a relative, or a friend, living in OZ or NZ to post it to you if you chose to buy one, as they do not ship to the UK. I found this bit of kit one of the best things since sliced bread. It is warm and very lightweight.
Keep the vids coming please as they add value to this vast subject matter.

It looks like you have a lot more than 100 ft on both sides? I have a 100 ft hank of Titan Survivor Cord, and it's not as big as either of those. Came looking for insight on how much I should have, because I've got a 1,000 ft spool of 1000lb Titan, along with that 100ft, and some chunks of hanks and spools I've bought in the past that were already in my pack. Also have some good dock line, some cheapie Harbor Freight rope I want to replace with good climbing rope someday, 350 cord, and two sizes of shock cord. My pack is a long-term bag, and hovers around 50lbs, so I'm figuring out how much cordage I should put in it without overdoing it. If there is such a thing, when it comes to cordage. Haha
Glad I've found a really good channel at last. Thanks for the videos so far. Thought I had my kit sorted then saw your videos. If my wife asks for a divorce I'm blaming you! Superglue in the med kit ! I've always had a set of binos or monocular, and noone else ever has.....Nice one Tom. Hope to see much more.
Cheers Lee! Wives aren’t on the kit list anyway 😆
@@PreparedPathfinder I'll let her know haha
+Prepared Pathfinder On that green ruck, it seems there are zipper tracks where side pouches attach, like on the excellent PLCE Bergen, are there? If so, can they be zipped together to make an assault pack? How many liters each are they and do they also have MOLLE on the sides? I really like that ruck, and the assault pack you have clipped to it, what are the names and capacities again ( sometimes accents make it hard for us Yanks to hear things as clearly as we should )?
Love the way you put your kit together, how well it's planned as far as considerations. Every piece of your kit has definite purpose and fulfills a need, and you make an excellent point : Don't pack stuff you don't know how to use and is useless anyway. I see a lot people packing an extra 20 pounds and more of stuff they don't know how to use or need in the fist place. I do feel sorry for you guys in the U.K. because guns, mags, ammo, chest rig, pistol belt, tac gear, etc....... are very important parts of my kit ( especially in a bug out/SHTF scenario ) and, since those who wish to do you harm ( violent criminals, psychos, terrorists, and so on ) are always going to get their guns, I'm glad for my guns like my AKs, Glocks, H&Ks, Sig Saurs etc....... I'm glad for my CCW permit that lets me carry a pistol with me pretty much everywhere I go. I had to laugh at your talking about people with 7 knives in their kit because I just watched more than one guy who did exactly that, and most of the knives would be useless in the field ( one guy had a neck knife attached with some paracord onto the grab handle of his ruck, I kid you not, among 6 more knives, 2 of which would actually be useful for defense, shelter building, processing wood, and various field uses ). For blades, I carry a U.S. Marine KA-BAR and Kershaw Camp Ten (a kind of short bladed machete ) on my pistol belt, my folding saw, and a hatchet in my tool kit, and those are the only blades I need ( I do pack a small tool kit in my ruck ) and stick with surplus for my rucks and most of my kit ( military gear simply holds up better than civilian gear, at a fraction of the money ). Nice to see a well thought out kit with practical items and someone who actually uses their gear and trains with it. Tons of these kinds of videos have guys with brand new, shiny kit that looks as if they just bought and unwrapped the stuff. Excellent video, bro. You have a new sub
Thanks for your comments mate, all good points. My main motivation for starting this channel was to give some practical advice based on experience, after watching so many videos of people with shiny, new kit that they obviously hadn't used, as you mentioned.
The main pack is a Karrimor Patrol 45 (45 litres capacity), and yes it is compatible with the PLCE side pouches. The smaller pack is a Kifaru E&E pack, which is 12.8 litres in capacity. I have a Summer BOB video out soon, stand by. Cheers.
Tom, great first video. Who makes the pouch for the canteen and cup? Also have you looked at Hill People Gear chest harness's for a good bit of kit. Pretty popular harness and all their kit they make here in the USA. Keep up the great work!
