I live in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. My BOB is geared for the wilderness, INCH style. I carry a bow/ crossbow, winter clothing, a change of clothes, a sleep system of a hammock, with rain fly and bug net, paired with a military modular sleep system, a pack axe, hatchet, 3 ESEE knifes, a silky big boy, gomboy, and pocket boy spread out across my rig, an eye spit hand auger, fire kit, trapping kit, water purification, it even has a small fishing kit. My plan is exactly what you call "fantasy" as there are hundred of thousands of uninhabited acres up there with everything i need. Food, shelter (i can build those cabins you spoke of), and water. My greatest tool is knowledge. If i where to break down my entire kit, it would take an hr to walk thru everything in every kit. Total weight of entire BOB, weapon included is just 35lbs. Add a ghille suit to the mix and add 2 lbs. Survival isn't about the gear you have, but the knowledge of how to use the gear that you do have in multiple ways. Cross load everything. 2 is 1, one is none.
@@snoopyevans9447 I can't disagree with any of that, especially the skills part. One of the videos I plan in the future is specifically about how skills and fitness trump gear every single time. The "fantasy" part of it was more a dig at those who are not well-versed in bushcraft or even basic survival. I once had a guy at a campground tell me about his own plans to bug out and live off the land. While he talked, I watched him spend about 8 minutes trying to start a fire with a ferro rod. In the dry desert. During fire season. So, for most people who are not up to par on their skills, this kind of bug out is a fantasy, and a dangerous one. But for you, sounds like you won't need much of the advise I will be giving in these videos, and I salute you for it. Wish everyone was at that level.
@@Wasteland_By_Wednesday I agree. I agree with you that most people won't survive if SHTF. Some will think they have all the right gear, but little knowledge, Or even worse, none at all. Prime example is will of will survives. I commend the kid for trying, but he has such little knowledge of bushcraft it's scary. I wish I was closer to him and could teach him, but alas I'm not so I just have to watch from a distance and hope the kid makes it. he's living more "homeless in the woods" than he is "bushcrafting". The wilderness is no place to play. It has zero pity and less remorse. In the wilderness, it's survival of the fittest, at all costs. In a shtf situation, an urban area could potentially unalive you, the wilderness WILL unalive anyone not prepared for it. Victory favors a prepared mind.
Thanks for the sub! Yeah, I have neither the time nor the skills for BS sounds and editing, lol. We will be lucky if I can keep from crashing my drone into myself...
@@OMFGLAZERGUNPEW I haven't broken this one yet. i did crash into my own chest once while doing a waypoint mission... I was going for a close up shot, so I guess that is a success..?
@@dslick6234 You are correct, and I have just such a 65 liter bag list posted on my website for just such circumstances. This is just my bag for my particular circumstances. Channel is just starting, but I plan to get into a lot of detail about the BOL, and especially about "unconventional" ideas for establishing them. My group originally started on an isolated mining claim 5 years ago. Anyway, this video is specifically intended for those who already have a well established BOL to retreat to. The video for a more generalized "live-out-of-it" bag will be coming soon.
I am Belgian I agree with you totally. Because when you have to bug out you never know immediately how big the problem is.... And how long it's going to last. Carry as much as you can carry. Best is to make a bugout cart with 2 front wheels from a mountain bike...... Then you can carry your bag and pull that cart with way more than you possibly can carry. Especially food.
Kinda agree and the question is if you have a location to bug out to then why aren't you there already? It does seem to make sense for special situations where you would need to work in a city and need just the bare minimum of necessities to get to your retreat. Also situations of regional, not total collapse would fit that niche.
@@mep.stance1210 I did recently spend a year out at my own location, which is a communal thing with 15 other friends and family. Only a few of us stay there full time. Society is still useful for income generation, and while the collapse is pretty close that is no reason to spend any more time in a bunker than necessary.
I just want to add one more thing to your water key. I bought a RV water hose and water filter. Some of the water coming from commercial buildings may need some filtering.
I don't really have a bug out bag yet, because I don't have a bug out location. Although I already live in a rural area, but it's not that isolated. The main road is not far from my house and hundreds of cars drive past here every day. I'm working on a get home bag for my car though, so thanks for the tips.
@@HuskerYT Being away from the main part of the city is already a big boost over most people. Should something truly SHTF-worthy happen, getting out will be a problem. In tje case of being rural, having a good car kit is probably more important than a bug out bag, since you will most likely be able to keep your car rather than having to abandon it in an evacuation gridlock.
Im in Los Angeles. Im bugging in my house and going out after three weeks to scout and return. If bombs are falling im going for the subway just up the street.
Something to consider, given your location, is the access to older abandoned mines out in the desert not far from the city. Quite a few of them were even once reviewed for use as emergency fallout shelters by the US Government, something I am going to address at a later date. Google earth and a KML file download from the USGS site can show you just how many are around. And it is tens of thousands... If you need a place to retreat to, and have few options, you could do worse.
Here is something everyone should consider. I read an article and the guy talked about a 3 in 1 long rifle. 5.56R platform, with a 18 inch barrel, .22lr BCG and two AR style .22 mags, 300blk 10.5 inch barrel with or without suppressor. The 30cal supressor can be used with 5.56 and .22lr. 5.56/.22 out of the same barrel and 5.56/300blk share the same everything, but barrel. With 5 components (bcg, barrel, 2 mags, and a barrel nut wrench) you have three highly effective guns. You have a rifle that has the caliber for small game, and two calibers for larger game and protection. ARs, legos for adults!
Excellent video lad! I like your thinking about the BOB and that you have the minimal required, so you can move fast without missing anything. May I ask how much does your bag weight including food and water?
@@Nick.Romanidis Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. With food, the bag comes in at 26.1 lbs, but that is dry and also includes some clothing items which would get put on PDQ. With full water it is 32.4 lbs... which is a bit heavy. However, it will only weigh that for a short time at the start was my endurance is ready to rock. Also, I plan for some items to be discarded early depending on the need and the direction I will be taking. And, having caches out there is a big help.
Thanks! Serrated knives are good, but they just don't make the best for long-term bushcraft use. Mostly because they dull faster and are harder to sharpen out in the field. And, the teeth can snag and pull at items when you cut, especially cloth or line. This is a long time issue for those into bushcraft, and I fall in the side of simplicity. That doesn't mean serrated knives are bad or anything, you just have to know what you are doing when it comes to sharpening and such. My pocket folder is partially serrated...
I live in the Appalachia area and all this fits in summer side of a Survival bag. With Western NC and Eastern TN being hit so hard by this hurricane what would you recommend for me to have for a 7 day survival bag? I am getting started since this hurricane really showed me not to rely on others and to start relying on myself. Thank you for the response.
Your main priorities are always going to be clean water or a method of water purification, food supplies, a way to start fire, and shelter from the elements. Focus on those things the most.
@@Wasteland_By_Wednesday Thank you. Would you recommend a small tent or hammock? I'm healthy but not hiking AT healthy so im thinking light is better but again thank you for the responses.
@@tristanjohnson7450 I am a big fan of the Hummingbird hammocks and also the ones by eagles nest outfitters. They have one with a bug net and rainfly altogether in one package that is great for a BOB in a forested area.
Something to consider about your faraday bags.... they really need a liner between your electronics and the faraday fabric, I also make faraday bags and with my testing the conductive fabric will pass current. An easy way to prove this is to hold a piece of faraday fabric in your hand, then touch your phone screen with it, but make sure it's only the fabric touching the screen. You'll find that you can operate the phone like that, therefor the current the fabric is meant to block will transfer it directly to your electronics. All these faraday bags on amazon will fail due to that simple reason, plus a liner protects the faraday fabric because I make mine to use lol. Do some testing with that and see what you think, thanks for showing!
@@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548 Now see, right there I learned something. The bag in the video is a small one I made, and it does have a liner, but that was more because I built the bag around a microfiber pouch. I have another one I made for a tablet at home with no liner... so, now I know. Good advice, thank you. And that is what a prepping community should be all about, sharing ideas and teaching eachother!
@Wasteland_By_Wednesday absolutely my friend 👍 it's possible there is evidence to refute that but it makes good sense to me lol. I try to help out where and when I can, if everyone did that it would be a completely different world 🤣
If your in an area like a desert where there is almost always full sun, why not use an electric mountain bike and a solar panel to get you to your BOL? “but the EMP will destroy your electric motor and solar panel!” and yes possibly but at least you have an all terrain mountain bike to ride without the assistance of the motor, or at least a two wheel ‘trolley’ to carry your heavier gear on rather than your back?, and if you stored the bike and solar panel in conductive cloth then it would be immune to the EMP?🤔
@@impermanenthuman8427 I actually do use a bike for some, but not an ebike, just a standard REI coop mountain bike. There is only so much that can be carried, and one if my biggest considerations is keeping a low profile and making sure I have no one able to follow me to the BOL, or even notice me in the first place. And one thing I can tell you is that, in the desert, very little moves without kicking up dust. Especially a powered bike. Slow and steady wins the race.
IMO that is a great bugout bag if you do not know where you are going or if you are going to be traveling hundreds of miles.... If you are three days or less from your bugout location then you need a third or 40 percent of that gear and 50 percent of that weight
@@preppingforprophecy7680 I am 11 days from my BOL, by foot, and taking a roundabout route, with my current level of fitness and capability. Last time I trekked it, I arrived late morning of the eleventh day...
@@papimaximus95 I have made this exact trip through the desert many times in the past, both for planning purposes and for fitness. I haven't died yet. Contrary to popular belief, the wilderness holds only predictable dangers. The real dangers of a collapse will come from people. Of which there won't be any around.
@@papimaximus95 You must not be familiar with the desert southwest, my friend. There are people in the city, where I leave from. But there won't be any hoards flowing out randomly into the desert. In the early days, most will stay put, or perhaps try and head for other cities/towns. No one is going to think trekking into Death Valley or the open Mojave is a good idea. And that is why it is a good idea.
@@papimaximus95 Again, you are choosing to misinterpret. Going there is a good idea for me because my group has an established place there. But for others who have no such place, just randomly heading out into the desert is a death sentence. And yes, it is pretty easy to surveil the area and know where others may be. We know every inch of the Mojave, and we know every little offgrid property. We specifically chose to put our place where there were no others. So, when I go out there, I am going somewhere specific. But everyone else would be wandering with no destination. Not a good idea.
Nice, this video is low-key "blowing up" ... give Chris a subscribe if you're reading this. He knows what he's talking about and I think he will have tons of good useful content coming.
@@KM-ob3oe That little item actually doesn't exist outside of a specific old emergency kit. I used to work for a company as a test driver for pre-market concept vehicles, and they would issue us with a safety kit for each vehcile direct from the manufacturer. So, when it comes to that exact flare, the best I could answer for who makes it would be "someone in South Korea." It was part of a kit from the early Genesis GV80...
Even if he did cache gear and supplies, theres still a probability that it could be unrecoverable or even raided, damaged, or otherwise comprimised by the time hes moved to retrieve it
I think there's a difference between an evacuation Bag and a bug out bag. I'm in Canada so I have no intention of bugging out into the wilderness to live there especially in winter. It's over 5,000 miles across this country and if I cannot find another town city or Province to live in then the whole world is coming to an end. Every single day we see disasters especially on the other side of this world and so far no one bugs out into the wilderness all they do is migrate to a safer location within civilization.
@@James-ke5sx Exactly, and that is as it should be. Which is why this bag, and my channel, focus around the complete collapse of civilization, not local or regional disasters. Think more along the lines of a full nuclear exchange between Russia and the United States. Unlikely, perhaps, but more and more likely every day...
All of us that know what to look for will pick out the grey man everyday all day. Its not the people that is not prepared and not having a BOB. You will have to deal with people like me that know what to look for.
@@johnny30806 Indeed. That is where I was in 2019. And that is a myth that I plan to disprove as I fill out this channel. The BOL used by my own group was set up using an LLC and the mining claim system. 20 acres, with an old set of underground workings, and I think total cost came to... maybe 3k? Income is something else I plan to address on this channel later, with demonstration. I haven't worked since 2019, and the only difference is now I am financially stable and have all the free time in the world. The key word from your comment is "paycheck." No more of those, lol.
there will be no safe place to leave your 'other' guns. YOu'l hve to remove their bolts, hammers, etc, and bury them separately, with the ammo, so that you dont get shot with your own guns some day. YOu'll have to constantly wear 40 lbs of armor, pack, food, water, night vision, sleep and shelter gear, clothing, etc, so you wont be carrying more than 1 longarm, and MAYBE two pistols, IF the longarm is lw and compact, and so is its ammo, and IF the handguns are also compact, lw and so is their ammo. A 6 lb AR-15 in 223, with silencer, 10.5" skinny barrel, 22lr conversion unit is what you want, with a 16 oz,, 6" long 9mm in a velcroed in front pants pocket holster.. A 22lr understudy for low cost practice, very similar to the 9mm, keeps a lot of the wear and tear of practice off of your carry gun. A silencer on that 22lr pocket pistol makes it more useful for shtf and a LOT more fun until then.
@@SonnyCrocket-p6h I'm not heading to war, my friend. When I bug out, I will be heading to a fully stocked and fortified compound up in the high desert mountains, where 10 of my 15 compatriots are already living fulltime. The desert is a very sparsely populated place, and where I will be headed it only gets more so. As I have said, the idea is to have a base already, and this is just to get there. The loadouts you are talking about are certainly similar to what I will be carrying on future patrols from that compound, but I don't need it to get there.
Some areas will see very little nuclear attack. Phoenix might, but a lot of the desert will not. Lots of California, New York, east coast, and Midwest cities will see nuclear attack. One thing about nuclear attack is the ability to minimize and/or eliminate fallout. Most countries that will attack the US, will do their best to minimize and/or eliminate fallout, because they will want to use those areas asap and not wait the half life for fallout. If it major natural disaster, no fallout. His plan is fine. Research nuclear attack and see just where and how the attacks are perceived to happen, by strategists and military intel; it’s out there. Also, if fallout is a problem, no amount of prep will save any of us in the fallout area.
@@syn4057 I worked for the Soviet Atomic Energy Commission in the 80s before defecting, most of the Russian strategic response arsenal or RDU complex weapons are designed to “salt” American productive soil with radiation enhanced materials such as cobalt 45 as the extra neutron shield to the U-235 casing . The idea was to insure strategic destruction to your enemy long term.
@@Blackflag.actual I actually didn't realize there even was a specific Magic Prepper until now, and I certainly didn't mean to poke fun that direction. Oops...
@@Blackflag.actual Its a shame that Nate has lost his way. I like the guy, but he needs to go back to his roots and stop it with the alarmist ww3 style news.
Be sure to let people know that in quite a few states using BEAR SPRAY against other humans is AGAINST THE LAW!! I know we are talking about SHTF but still one might want to check on local, county and state laws!
@@gregchewie3059 Indeed, it is only for an SHTF situation, and at that point all law and order goes out the window. And when I say SHTF, I say it from a collapse perspective. Not hurricane helene, not an earthquake along the San Andreas, not even a regional war like in Ukraine. I mean SHTF in the fullest extent of the term. Very little about my channel is going to have to do with lesser situations. But still, good advice which I shall take in future videos.
Any law that inhibits your ability to survive when the situation dictates survival, is not a law worth following in that particular moment. Cant try you if you dont live to see the courthouse.
The bag pretty much stays the same year round, but as I mentioned, the external clothing sack will change with the seasons. Also, clothing is one of those items that I have prepositioned extensively throughout my area of operation in various survival caches. Pretty much everything non-perishable I already have prepositioned out in the desert at many locations for use depending on what route I am taking.

There is only so much that can be carried, and one if my biggest considerations is keeping a low profile and making sure I have no one able to follow me to the BOL, or even notice me in the first place. And one thing I can tell you is that, in the desert, very little moves without kicking up dust. Especially a powered bike.
Slow and steady wins the race.
@@Wasteland_By_Wednesday I guess is all depends on the threat and what speed you need to get to where your going 👍🏻
IMO that is a great bugout bag if you do not know where you are going or if you are going to be traveling hundreds of miles.... If you are three days or less from your bugout location then you need a third or 40 percent of that gear and 50 percent of that weight
@@preppingforprophecy7680 I am 11 days from my BOL, by foot, and taking a roundabout route, with my current level of fitness and capability. Last time I trekked it, I arrived late morning of the eleventh day...
@@papimaximus95 I have made this exact trip through the desert many times in the past, both for planning purposes and for fitness. I haven't died yet.
Contrary to popular belief, the wilderness holds only predictable dangers. The real dangers of a collapse will come from people. Of which there won't be any around.
@@papimaximus95 You must not be familiar with the desert southwest, my friend. There are people in the city, where I leave from. But there won't be any hoards flowing out randomly into the desert. In the early days, most will stay put, or perhaps try and head for other cities/towns. No one is going to think trekking into Death Valley or the open Mojave is a good idea.
And that is why it is a good idea.
@@papimaximus95 Again, you are choosing to misinterpret. Going there is a good idea for me because my group has an established place there. But for others who have no such place, just randomly heading out into the desert is a death sentence. And yes, it is pretty easy to surveil the area and know where others may be. We know every inch of the Mojave, and we know every little offgrid property. We specifically chose to put our place where there were no others.
So, when I go out there, I am going somewhere specific. But everyone else would be wandering with no destination. Not a good idea.
Nice set up
Nice, this video is low-key "blowing up" ... give Chris a subscribe if you're reading this. He knows what he's talking about and I think he will have tons of good useful content coming.
Well thought through 👍
Hi, who makes the mini flare with the plastic storage tube? I looked on your website but its not listed. Thanks
@@KM-ob3oe That little item actually doesn't exist outside of a specific old emergency kit.
I used to work for a company as a test driver for pre-market concept vehicles, and they would issue us with a safety kit for each vehcile direct from the manufacturer. So, when it comes to that exact flare, the best I could answer for who makes it would be "someone in South Korea." It was part of a kit from the early Genesis GV80...
@@Wasteland_By_Wednesday Thanks for the info!
Informative and beneficial video
Mt man here watching 👍👍
if you know where you are going why have you not cached supplies and gear along the route? If I need to scoot I need a lot less than that.
@@rogerbarnstead7194 I have done exactly that, which I mentioned towards the end of the video. Survival caches are a must for post-collapse bug out.
@@Wasteland_By_Wednesday I did hear you mention it in passing.
Even if he did cache gear and supplies, theres still a probability that it could be unrecoverable or even raided, damaged, or otherwise comprimised by the time hes moved to retrieve it
@@jeremymoses7401 one often has to choose between evils
14:35 you may need to bug out at night and you know deserts can be extra cold during the night.
Very true.
Great video!
Basically a get "home" bag . In this case, a get to bug out location bag.
I think there's a difference between an evacuation Bag and a bug out bag. I'm in Canada so I have no intention of bugging out into the wilderness to live there especially in winter. It's over 5,000 miles across this country and if I cannot find another town city or Province to live in then the whole world is coming to an end. Every single day we see disasters especially on the other side of this world and so far no one bugs out into the wilderness all they do is migrate to a safer location within civilization.
@@James-ke5sx Exactly, and that is as it should be. Which is why this bag, and my channel, focus around the complete collapse of civilization, not local or regional disasters. Think more along the lines of a full nuclear exchange between Russia and the United States. Unlikely, perhaps, but more and more likely every day...

@@MetalRipper67 True. Good thing there aren't many people out in the desert at all, especially not ones like us.
Most people in America are one paycheck away from being homeless, and cannot afford a house much less a bug out location stacked full of preps
@@johnny30806 Indeed. That is where I was in 2019. And that is a myth that I plan to disprove as I fill out this channel.
The BOL used by my own group was set up using an LLC and the mining claim system. 20 acres, with an old set of underground workings, and I think total cost came to... maybe 3k?
Income is something else I plan to address on this channel later, with demonstration. I haven't worked since 2019, and the only difference is now I am financially stable and have all the free time in the world.
The key word from your comment is "paycheck." No more of those, lol.
Great comment and response.
cool new channel, have a sub
@@NikosKatsikanis Right back at ya, for #243 alone...

Where’s the BBQ at?
there will be no safe place to leave your 'other' guns. YOu'l hve to remove their bolts, hammers, etc, and bury them separately, with the ammo, so that you dont get shot with your own guns some day. YOu'll have to constantly wear 40 lbs of armor, pack, food, water, night vision, sleep and shelter gear, clothing, etc, so you wont be carrying more than 1 longarm, and MAYBE two pistols, IF the longarm is lw and compact, and so is its ammo, and IF the handguns are also compact, lw and so is their ammo. A 6 lb AR-15 in 223, with silencer, 10.5" skinny barrel, 22lr conversion unit is what you want, with a 16 oz,, 6" long 9mm in a velcroed in front pants pocket holster.. A 22lr understudy for low cost practice, very similar to the 9mm, keeps a lot of the wear and tear of practice off of your carry gun. A silencer on that 22lr pocket pistol makes it more useful for shtf and a LOT more fun until then.
@@SonnyCrocket-p6h I'm not heading to war, my friend. When I bug out, I will be heading to a fully stocked and fortified compound up in the high desert mountains, where 10 of my 15 compatriots are already living fulltime.
The desert is a very sparsely populated place, and where I will be headed it only gets more so.
As I have said, the idea is to have a base already, and this is just to get there. The loadouts you are talking about are certainly similar to what I will be carrying on future patrols from that compound, but I don't need it to get there.
He’s definitely prepared to wade through clouds of nuclear fallout and piles of irradiated corpses to get to his “bugout” location.
Some areas will see very little nuclear attack. Phoenix might, but a lot of the desert will not. Lots of California, New York, east coast, and Midwest cities will see nuclear attack.
One thing about nuclear attack is the ability to minimize and/or eliminate fallout. Most countries that will attack the US, will do their best to minimize and/or eliminate fallout, because they will want to use those areas asap and not wait the half life for fallout.
If it major natural disaster, no fallout. His plan is fine.
Research nuclear attack and see just where and how the attacks are perceived to happen, by strategists and military intel; it’s out there.
Also, if fallout is a problem, no amount of prep will save any of us in the fallout area.
@@syn4057 I worked for the Soviet Atomic Energy Commission in the 80s before defecting, most of the Russian strategic response arsenal or RDU complex weapons are designed to “salt” American productive soil with radiation enhanced materials such as cobalt 45 as the extra neutron shield to the U-235 casing . The idea was to insure strategic destruction to your enemy long term.

Be sure to let people know that in quite a few states using BEAR SPRAY against other humans is AGAINST THE LAW!! I know we are talking about SHTF but still one might want to check on local, county and state laws!
@@gregchewie3059 Indeed, it is only for an SHTF situation, and at that point all law and order goes out the window. And when I say SHTF, I say it from a collapse perspective. Not hurricane helene, not an earthquake along the San Andreas, not even a regional war like in Ukraine.
I mean SHTF in the fullest extent of the term. Very little about my channel is going to have to do with lesser situations.
But still, good advice which I shall take in future videos.
Who cares in a s*** hits the fans situation
Take a backseat, Nancy. Get with the program. Did you not understand the title?
Any law that inhibits your ability to survive when the situation dictates survival, is not a law worth following in that particular moment. Cant try you if you dont live to see the courthouse.
What are you doing if you cannot come home in Sommer … and you have no winter survival bug out bag … ???🔥🧐🧐🧐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌎❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
The bag pretty much stays the same year round, but as I mentioned, the external clothing sack will change with the seasons.
Also, clothing is one of those items that I have prepositioned extensively throughout my area of operation in various survival caches. Pretty much everything non-perishable I already have prepositioned out in the desert at many locations for use depending on what route I am taking.
