Swap out the large kitchen can opener for the military P38 or P51 can opener add it to a survival keychain with mini flashlight cpr mask whistle mini chem light. Get a real CAT North American Rescue tourniquet. The imitation versions like the rhino brand you have are known to fail or break. Add a roll 1'' x30' gorilla tape. For the electronics use a dry bag. Swap out the off brand compass you have for a Suunto A10 compass.
That’s crazy you mentioned that I just uploaded a video 1 hour ago talking about this very thing where I did swap it out! Thanks for checking out the video
I went through all my stuff from before and transferred all the non essential items in my get home bag to my big out bag/camping 72hr bag. Because of the suggestion and feedback from everyone it worked out great! Yes I have a little survival tent and fire kit but that’s if I’m far away from my house that I know if I can’t make it home i have to camp it over night. Brother listen to your subscribers and listen to what they have to say. some do give great advise
I dig it. This all feels inspired by the book “going home” by A. American. How are you staying warm at night in the off season? A hammock, poncho, and a spare t-shirt doesn’t seem like it’ll cut it.
Amazing set up bro!! You have an arsenal of necessary items that all fit into 1 pack, that’s a great set up. Reminded me to add some things to mine for sure. I particularly like the poncho & hammock theory as opposed to a shelter half or tent/ tarp. Condensed MRE is friggin brilliant too, there so much cardboard and wasted space in MREs. Had some old timers in the Army & USMC tell me that back in Vietnam they started using the cardboard from the entrees & side dish to send post cards and notes home for free via USPS. Never tried it when I was deployed bc all we had to do was drop the envelope off and it was sent for free. Anyway, LETS GOOO bro, keep these bangers coming!! Just Survive Somehow!!
Very good straight forward educational video. I watched the remainder of it and compared it to my bag contents. I’ll note the differences only: I have a USB rechargeable flashlight, with an extra battery. Instead of binoculars I have a monocular. Write-in-the-Rain notebook. Along with the poncho, I have a pair of Gortex rain pants. I keep some “snacks” in a small pouch on shoulder strap that can be reached without removing the pack I use generic wipes 2-20 packs (alcohol free), (unscented), so as to not attract bugs or people. Package is 4” X 3” Cream Sunscreen 30-55 SPF (unscented) Along with Charging Bricks, I also have small solar panel to charge them. P-51 can opener, but you can open it without, if you can find a road or concrete surface or flat stone. Window breaker is for laminated glass or tempered glass found in commercial doors. Not really needed for most windows. I carry one Flameless Ration Heater per stripped MRE meal, I do not intend to start any fires unless necessary. I’ll also use chemical and mechanical water purification if possible instead of boiling. I also carry an Esbit stove and 5-6 fuel tabs for morning coffee water. My fire kit is 25% the size of yours: Basically looking at 3 or 4 small fires if needed. 25 UCO matches in a UCO container. 1X3 in tire inner tube and small packets of hand sanitizer. I also don’t carry all the fire making material in one pouch, they are spread around. I carry a Buck knife along with a Swiss pocket knife and a backup folding knife. All knife sheaths have Ferro Rods.
Sounds like you’re well equipped for getting home! You’re not the first person to mention the P-51 can opener I’m going to look into that. From reading over your bag contents it looks like you’re think more ling term than a 2-3 day walk home. Almost like a mix between get home and buggout bag! Thanks for checking out the channel!
Awesome I’m glad it generated some ideas. I’m trying to get more people involved in this life style and thinking process! Thanks for checking out my channel.
This is a great video! I don’t even know how many GHB videos I’ve seen and I definitely learned a couple of things here that I’ll be adding to my bag 👏🏽
You actually tested your bag so you are constantly improving your system. My 2 small suggestions are one replace the heavy can opener with a p38. Second put your electronics in a zip lock it’s water resistant and lighter. Good job either way.
Dade, it is good to see how you fine-tuned your bag based upon your experience in actually walking home. I have the same organization in using a separate fire kit, electronics, and tool pouch. This has greatly simplified my ability in locating items in the same size pack as you. My tool pouch is actually my EDC pouch (Maxpedition EDC) that I would grab from the driver's side of the car to put in my bag. I would re-assess the big can opener for the likelihood of using it vs. carrying that weight - for me, I would substitute it for a P-38 can opener. I have come across loss of electrical tape adhesion that is stored in the heat of summer and would substitute it for a roll of 1" Gorilla tape. The center punch is a one trick pony and I would probably substitute it for a Tactical Pen (Fisher ink cartridge) that has the window breaker tip. Great bag, and I appreciate your explanation of some of your equipment choices as they relate to your personal experience and location.
Thanks for checking out the video! I feel like it’s necessary to actually test your set up just to see if things are going to work the way you think. The center punch i definitely will be looking into. I will be testing this bag out on a 30 mile test similiar to the first one I did.
@@raidercounterpreparednes-by7pr this bag is designed for at max 3 days. Plus 30-40 miles is the average max range I would find my self away from home in a given week. Anytime I travel farther distances I bring a different set up that can accommodate for the longer expected journey. If I had the time to take a week off to do a test I would be all for it, that’s just not a reality for me right now. I could travel 30 miles in a day with this pack if needed. I plan on doing a 30 mile test here soon and will be recording that expecting to get it done around 12-14 hours.
Buddy of mine was offroading in the mountains. Road fell out from under him wheel got stuck bad. His winch couldn't pull him out. His radio couldn't reach anyone and had no cell service. Sun was going down and the 60 degree day turned to 20's pretty quickly. Him and his wife hiked 3 miles to get cell service they were pretty far. They both got frostbite on the tips of their toes and fingers. He had a bag of preps that included a knife and some other stuff. But he did not have a fire source. I told him to keep a couple 4 hour candles in the car, just having a candle going can help warm the car, throw a blanket over and you'll warm up really fast. He had never heard of emergency candles. You never know when you're going to be caught in that situation. And when you do you're hoping you prepped for all your needs. People think it's silly to have but it's absolutely not
Thanks for sharing that story! It happens a lot more than we think because they’re isolated events that don’t always hit the news so we never hear about them. It’s not until stories like this are shared that it gets brought to our attention.
Wow. I'm glad they're okay and he was prepared somewhat. I think he learned that day that a fire source or two in your bag is a very good idea. I'd have two Bic lighters and some storm proof matches in your bag.
Defiantly not the first a lot of people can do it, I might have been the first to test this far in one day but there’s a lot of people out there that are capable of it for sure.
Its very easy to open a can on concrete in an emergency, a rock could be used in the same fashion if it is big enough. That being said just have a can opener 🤣 everyone needs an emergency bag close at hand these days.
The guy is trying. But it is very obvious that all his gear has never been used, and you can just tell he has got all of his information from watching UA-cam videos. This guy has never spent a night out in the open, or done a single mile walking with his gear on his back, and has no training in any kind of survival. But good luck to him.
@@MidwestSurvivalYT Don't need to. I can tell by your gear that you are new to this. Of have never been out and trained with it. You may have a couple of videos with some trees in the background. That doesn't make you a survival expert. But you are trying, that is what matters, well done.
These bags are a bunch of bs. Not sure who the first person was to come up with them but theyre pointless. Nobody has ever gone for a long walk before?? People run 30 mile marathons and they dont need zip ties or can openers or window breakers. I get everyone likes gear and putting themselves in movie situations but cmon. If u practice basic survival u dont need a bag full of junk. Not sure if u have a family or not but they are priority number 1. That means light and fast. Im not stopping to make a fire and cook or sleep. I get it im not like the majority of people who watch these vids but im a realist
The whole concept of the bag is not for normal everyday conditions that what you’re missing. These bags are designed for a shtf situation. Yes people run marathons everyday even 100 miles in a day but that’s under normal societal conditions. People are not going to be in the same mindset when shit hits the fan you will need extra gear than what you would carry on a daily basis under normal conditions. It may take you alot longer than you would expect if you’re having to deal a societal break down. It’s not putting your self in movie conditions to be prepared. It is logical thinking of what would If your world got flipped upside down.
You'd have to be more than a hundred miles away from home to need anything like that. A 20 mile walk is about 5 hours if you're not in a hurry. If you just dress appropriately for the weather, you'd have to work pretty hard at not surviving a couple days walking.

Very good set-up. Perhaps I missed it, but one of those cheap "space blankets". Looking forward to your next.
Nice set up! I like that you took what you learned from the last bag and updated it in this one.

Great work. Just subscribed. Where did you get that hand cranked radio at? It was a good small size.
I belt Walmart a few years back. Thanks for checking out the video I appreciate the support
Congrats on the 1k buddy
I appreciate it couldn't have done it without supporters like you!
I like it but there are things to this bag that make it unnecessarily heavy and it could stand to lose several pounds.
Mine is about 25# and is good for 3-4 days.
Sweet! Have you tested it out?
@@MidwestSurvivalYT Not yet in 2023, but plan to.
Good Job Sir

I’m sure it’s easy to open a can with a rock or something similar if you want to eat your food off the ground 😂
@@MidwestSurvivalYT if you smash it open ya lol but if you grind off the top lip on a rock its no problem
Did you say that cup is a 20 liter
20 ounces not liter.
👍👍👍
What kind of tool bag are you using?
You zip tied your TQ to your kit???
Yeah you can just snap it off without a problem
No HAM or GSMR?
Why do people always think they have to cuss
