James and John need to do a lost in the woods episode with their go bags. Two nights. Then you can tell us what you like the most and what you wish you had
Smoker: Hey does anyone have a light? Yeager: Yeah, *sprays ferrosium rod sparks in face* Smoker: Hey James quit kidding around! Yeager: Alright fine, here... *lights road flare*
Anyone who wouldn't use a flare has no right to smoke. Yeah smoking is horrible but there is no way lighting one with a flare isn't badass. A cigar would be better.
@@daelinblack6681 I'm surprised there hasn't been an "action" movie with Ahnuld lighting his cigar with a road flair and then the safety fuse on a big Michael "How tankers of gasoline can we blow up?" Bay style finale.
As a mama bear of littles, I have a few things I would strongly recommend. Firstly, have your kiddos try the food you have packed. If they don't like what you have packed for them and refuse to eat it, that is an unnecessary stressor to an already stressful situation. I would add a vanilla flavored whey protein powder to the pack. It weighs very little when measured out, but is sweet, and provides protein and other nutrients that children especially need. Next, if there is a nursing mother, obviously her pack would look differently to accommodate the needs of her baby, I would highly recommend pack formula and a bottle. Stress can affect a mother's milk supply and the last thing she should worry about is providing the nutrition her little one needs. Next area is medical. I know there was a boo-boo kit, but the contents weren't mentioned. This isn't exactly a tacticool topic, but tummy issues can really affect any man woman or child. Both anti- diarrheal, and either a fiber supplement or the like should be in everyone's kit. Stress, different diet etc, can have a very negative affect on the digestive tract. Vaseline is a great addition as well, chapped lips, faces is no fun. It is also an excellent fire starter. Thanks John, for the great content. As a homeschool mom, I appreciate examples of real men, doing great things. I have been a member of WPSN since last April, and have been extremely pleased with that investment. Keep up the good work.
Its almost like medical science has progressed to the point of being able to scan brain waves and turn them into video, and this video was from a Bipolar test subject.

Liquid capsules. You can save a child's or pet's life by spraying it down their throat if they are having an allergic reaction. My co-worker's dog got lit up by fire ants and the dog's throat was closing up....she sprayed the benadryl down it's throat and saved it's life.
@@jeffmeagher7809 yes, emergency bite a hole, knife cut off tip, best is scissors. I think you can get actual liquid bottle too...just capsules are small and good for small sling bags and such.

I immediately went looking for that phone... the company doesn't exist anymore (probably since around 2017), and ATT doesn't support the phone, even if you do have one (ATT has shut down much of its 2G network). Pretty sure one important concept of a BOB is making sure things that can go bad are rotated and replaced... and now we can add to that to occasionally make sure whatever technology that's in the bag is still supported. Thanks for the videos!
I have a suspicion that if one is using their bug out bag or get home bag either electronics will be useless or 911 will be useless so no phone necessary.
100%. Came into the comments to mention a saw. I had a Bahco Laplander, because it was cheap, and then got a Silky Gomboy, and it's a world of difference.
I love that everything is set up for Jame's grandkids. It reminds me of some advice I once got about overlanding: the weakest member changes the tyres. The idea being that if anything goes horribly wrong and the last one able to get the truck up and running again isn't the massive meat mountain then they aren't stuck because the now incapacitated meat mountain has put the nuts on so tight you'd need an elephant to get them off. Same for the kids' kit set up.
Bro you need to torque your lug nuts. Difficult lugs you can jump on the iron or kick it. Breaking is much easier than tightening. Teach people leverage, it is a useful skill.
@@josephroach711 very true. The logic behind the advice was that you have weight constraints and might not have a long enough lever for the weakest member to be able to get them off in a bad situation, or your torque wrench might be broken or lost. Sorry for the lack of context.
Love the multiple backups of knives, light and sources of fire! One thing missing is sun protection. A cheap baseball cap and sunglasses is not a bad idea if facing the elements for a long duration of time.
Team approach, multiple bags identical stuff, good idea. Each bag personalized with walking shoes, socks, etc. Land nav a must. Zip ties various lengths, more tape elec/gorilla.

Silky pocket saw or cheaper similar item. It doesn't take a lot of space or weight and you can easily chop down small or medium trees to make a shelter or fishing rod. ONLY item I'd add to this awesome bag.

I keep a Henry AR7 with two loaded mags and an additional 150 rounds of .22 ammo in my bag. The Henry doesn’t take up too much room and is very accurate. Darlington, South Carolina
I put together very similar bags for my daughters who most likely would be trying to get home from Atlanta. I didn’t have any redundant items and kept the weight less than 15 lbs. I included a street map of Atlanta and metro area, compass, safety goggles, and a high quality dust mask.
Nice! My wife wife and I actually keep 2 packs each ready. One 3 day that's in the car all the time, and a long range pack when we travel more than a hundred miles or so.
Well thought out kit ... that $8 phone is brilliant ... there is nothing in the bag I would take out The two things I might add is a set of gloves for warmth and protection, and a change of socks ( depending on the season and weather ) the socks can act as mittens when push comes to shove and trying to stay warm. and happy feet make for happy hiking Well done gentlemen ...

GPS is global. It could go out but the system has proven reliable. The most likely failure points are batteries are dead, you GPS fails or trees are too thick (problem with older units). I do have a compass in my bag and I know how to use it. I am not saying a compass is a bad idea. Just have never found no signal.
@@davidhowell7901 yes, lots. I can use land feature on the map to know where I am and where I need to go and see obstacles or resources. Compass only points in a finite line. If you need to get to a finite point then you need both. I prefer usgs quad maps but most any topo will work
Hooyah! Remember an "important" aspect reflects duplicity...two is one, one is none. Great emergency inventory guidance that implies it does not require a lot of space for duplicate essential items.
Living in the wet state of washington I have found that some sort of dry tinder is essential, wether it be some type of chemical tab, cotton balls with vaseline, or my favorite never dull for shing brass, always works great.
This is by far the best kit that I've seen. The phone will be in my bags, and the radio looks cool. I'll have to find one. I would add a folding saw for wood processing. Great video.
My bug out bag is my normal camping bag. This way I know what is in there and how to use it. That cell phone was cool and a folding saw could be helpful.
@@warlantactical That is a sound statement. I have on many occasions got to where I was going only to find out that I had used the last of something and forgot to replace it. On a positive note though none of my gear is expired or derelict. It just means I need to get into the habit of doing a gear shake out more often. Also I don't hike alone so it just means I need to much something off of my buddy.😁
YES!!! Try out a bit of backpacking and it will be VERY eye-opening for a lot of people. I had all these ideas and bought a whole bunch of crap I didn't need for trying out backpacking/basic survival. This was only to realize how freaking heavy my bag was, how useless some of these items were, and how useful going ultralight is with whatever you can afford. The last thing you need is to run into an emergency... and realize you have 70lbs of junk that you are too out of shape to carry... and when you get in the woods realize you have say... no way to cook your food. Find a wooded area in your state that allows hiking & primitive camping... and test your setup. You'll be VERY happy you did.
James had been schooling me for years on just about everything. He's helped me become a better person and for that, I'm eternally grateful. Oh and loved the video BTW.
I do a lot of camping. Always through a couple hand warmers in for winter stuff never planning on using them... I ALWAYS used them. Now they’re a staple in my bag. Great moral booster as well
The first time I watched was just to laugh at how you two act with each other hahah the second time was to actually learn and get great ideas!! Thank you both!!
I designed and made a prayer box. The box contains our Bible, Daily Roman Missal, Catechism, Family Prayer Book, and Rosary. This box goes with us. If we had to leave anything behind it would be everything except the Bible and Rosary.
@@wannabecarguy Same. Only place I can find that phone is no longer available, or old articles/reviews saying it was $50-60. Where did he find it for $8? BTW, it's called a "SpareOne".
I really like the cheap cell phone idea. Definitely looking into that. CAUTION: When looking into electrolyte replacements, AVOID anything that has fructose, lactose, sorbitol and manito as a sweetener. They are natural LAXATIVES, and that is the LAST thing you want happening to you while in an emergency situation. I work outside in a refinery in the Houston area, and do lots of outdoor activities, including Triathlons. I have tested many electrolyte replacements. In my opinion, the absolute BEST thing out there is a product made by Trace Minerals, called Power paks. They have several flavors to choose from. My favorite is Cherry limeade. Nuun products tend to give my loose poops. Not a fan of that.... And on that note, add a small roll of toilet paper in a ziplock baggie to your bag. Especially the kids bags.
If that's the sonic fox 40 whistle they are ridiculously loud. I carry one on my keys to signal the kids when they are out playing in the woods and it's time to come in. ABSOLUTELY plug your ears lol. Never seen those phones need to pick some up. I would add a deck of playing cards or the good book. Nice to have something to keep people's minds busy when things are bad and you're stuck.
I keep a "bug out bag" and a "get home bag" in my car. My get home bag is just a hydration bladder carrier with a lighter, poncho, battery bank, a bit of cord, and small useful things. I keep water in water bottles inside the bag so the bladder stays clean. If I ran out if gas or broke down, I could take it with me and have a "comfortable" walk. My bug out bag some of the key items are a hatchet, poncho, hunting knife, slingshot and ammo, fire starter, duct tape card, cord, zip ties, a crank radio/flashlight/ battery bank, a basic medical kit, and some other things. My thoughts are a bug out bag should be heavier because you will reach a "safe" location to "set up camp" and start using the supplies and lightening the bag. Not so heavy it's too much to carry of course but heavier than a "get home bag" Of course knowing how to survive with as little as possible is great but if you have the chance to have useful items, take it
@@coachtx As an OCD mechanic organizing is my thing. I arrange my bag by category. Weather gear in one pouch, "repair stuff", like tape, cord, etc in another. If you have a bug out bag, one thing that goes a long way with little space is spices. If you're eating plain fish, squirrel, bird, you'll appreciate some salt, pepper, and other packets. My medical bag is a detachable pouch on the outside. If I weren't broke I'd even keep a small gun and ammo in a bug out bag. A life straw and water purification tables are on my list also Dont buy premade kits, they have a lot of extra junk
Reflective tree tacks. Have used them to mark trails in and out of tree stands forever. Used wisely can mark places you may need to find in dark... love cell phone idea....
I would speculate he would just ask you about the training classes you have taken with it. I.e., training being more important. In classes, no one including yeager asked me about my pistol as long as it ran. I've trained with .40, but mostly 9mm for pistol classes. Like both, no issues with either.
In mine I added: A roll of toilet paper, some bigger cable ties, a candle and a box of ammo. Med kit Id add tampons, tourniquet, pressure bandage and small suture kit. A few IBU and aleave and pill form imodium. a cold pack and a hand warmer pack a small bottle of whiskey or rum.Moisturizing eye drops. Some jerky and a can of beanie wienies, a can of spam, some hard candy. Anything not wrapped water tight goes in freezer ziplocks. a bar of soap. A pair of socks. That wont add that much weight.
Rum/whiskey and beanie weinies/spam....best BOB suggestions ever!!! Turns an off-the-grid weekend into a birthday bash for me!!! LOL!!! Thanks, Mike!!!
It’s probably a good idea to have both a “go” bag and a “stay stash”. If the rock called wormwood hits on the other side of the globe, I’ll stay. If it hits close I’ll bug out.
I do a lot of backpacking. Some of those items I would not carry. Here's what's missing: 1. Topo maps of your area to find water sources and to know terrain 2. Compass 3. Geiger counter in case of nuclear strike 4. More lifeboat rations 5. Toilet paper 6. MiraLax for constipation 7. Ibuprofen
Loved the $8 phone idea (run on Lithium AA batteries). However, this is just another video of a Go Bag product dump; UNLESS, you both go out for TWO nights with nothing but what's in THAT bag (each of you, similarly equipped) to TEST it. Don't just tell us. SHOW US!!! (Seriously, love you guys, though.)
Just curious, but what good will it do to have them SHOW you this Go Bag in action? Anything they do would be hypothetical in and of itself anyway. How would you like for them to TEST it? "Here's a tarp. You put it up and sleep under it." "First let me injure myself, now here's how you tend a wound." I mean come on man. Either you know how to use this crap or you don't. It's not up to these HIGHLY TRAINED gentlemen to show you they actually know what they're talking about. Their credentials speak for themselves. If you don't trust their advice then why are you watching this channel?
I would certainly watch the two of them stuck out in the woods for two days, and I'm sure I'd learn a lot about survival, preparedness, and verbal de-escalation. However, that's not an easy video for two very busy guys to make. I'm glad we got this video and its value, even if we never get the honeymoon camping trip.

Love James Yeager!! Awesome guest!!
Hooyah! Remember an "important" aspect reflects duplicity...two is one, one is none. Great emergency inventory guidance that implies it does not require a lot of space for duplicate essential items.
James is a legend.
A couple Cyalume snap lightsticks would be a light backup. All weather too. 1 green 12 hr. and 1 30 min. bright light.
theres a lot of awesome ideas in that bag... the phone is thoughtful...
Living in the wet state of washington I have found that some sort of dry tinder is essential, wether it be some type of chemical tab, cotton balls with vaseline, or my favorite never dull for shing brass, always works great.
This is by far the best kit that I've seen. The phone will be in my bags, and the radio looks cool. I'll have to find one. I would add a folding saw for wood processing. Great video.
The phone is an awsome idea I've never seen that before. I'd add a paperback survival book.
Love the bright colors. No cheap flare gun and flares to let search & rescue know where you are?
My bug out bag is my normal camping bag. This way I know what is in there and how to use it. That cell phone was cool and a folding saw could be helpful.
Rule of thumb do not use or barrow from your emergency bag
Always make a training kit with similar items
@@warlantactical That is a sound statement. I have on many occasions got to where I was going only to find out that I had used the last of something and forgot to replace it. On a positive note though none of my gear is expired or derelict. It just means I need to get into the habit of doing a gear shake out more often. Also I don't hike alone so it just means I need to much something off of my buddy.😁
@@davidduafala3050 good deal
YES!!! Try out a bit of backpacking and it will be VERY eye-opening for a lot of people.
I had all these ideas and bought a whole bunch of crap I didn't need for trying out backpacking/basic survival. This was only to realize how freaking heavy my bag was, how useless some of these items were, and how useful going ultralight is with whatever you can afford.
The last thing you need is to run into an emergency... and realize you have 70lbs of junk that you are too out of shape to carry... and when you get in the woods realize you have say... no way to cook your food.
Find a wooded area in your state that allows hiking & primitive camping... and test your setup. You'll be VERY happy you did.
James had been schooling me for years on just about everything. He's helped me become a better person and for that, I'm eternally grateful. Oh and loved the video BTW.
Safety glasses on a lanyard for walking through brush/woods, especially in low light.
Thanks for sharing guys. Definitely one of BEST prep videos I've ever see. Stay safe
Hatchet or fold saw. Everything else looked amazing.
Never thought about phone, tbh probably don't want one, but worth considering.
you are a terrific team!
Actually I like the last part. "Mindset, tactics, skills, gear."
thank you for the video john!!!
I have chemical hand warmers in my get home bag. They're useful for when you just have enough time to crawl in the bivvy sack or under a pancho.
I do a lot of camping. Always through a couple hand warmers in for winter stuff never planning on using them... I ALWAYS used them. Now they’re a staple in my bag. Great moral booster as well
I'm proud of you for trying to help James be a better person.
The first time I watched was just to laugh at how you two act with each other hahah the second time was to actually learn and get great ideas!! Thank you both!!
I would add a set of tent pegs/spikes to one of the packs. Makes pitching a makeshift tent a little easier
This is some of the funniest content anywhere. You guys should have a regular weekly show together.
Miss James 😢
"I'm not just gonna leave everyone", this is why he also has just a "FEW" AR-15's too. 😉
RIP James...you will be missed!
Definitely need a Nintendo Switch for all the down time of sitting in the woods. Great idea on the zip lock bag that the tape is in!
I designed and made a prayer box. The box contains our Bible, Daily Roman Missal, Catechism, Family Prayer Book, and Rosary. This box goes with us. If we had to leave anything behind it would be everything except the Bible and Rosary.
LOL, someone asks "got a lighter?" ... Nope, but I can start a fire for ya real quick.
You are the lighter, touché.
Oh Adam
...🗽
I did not know about the cell phone trick. Great info!
C'mon man...
Where's the full detailed list of items found in James's bag?
I just want info on the phone.
@@wannabecarguy Same. Only place I can find that phone is no longer available, or old articles/reviews saying it was $50-60. Where did he find it for $8?
BTW, it's called a "SpareOne".
pencil
paper
pause
Not excellent at all. They asked about a detailed list. The video only gives a cursory overview.
I thank a commpas and some navigation tools would be pretty handy,and I liked how he had a lot of ways to start a fire
I really like the cheap cell phone idea. Definitely looking into that.
CAUTION: When looking into electrolyte replacements, AVOID anything that has fructose, lactose, sorbitol and manito as a sweetener. They are natural LAXATIVES, and that is the LAST thing you want happening to you while in an emergency situation.
I work outside in a refinery in the Houston area, and do lots of outdoor activities, including Triathlons. I have tested many electrolyte replacements. In my opinion, the absolute BEST thing out there is a product made by Trace Minerals, called Power paks. They have several flavors to choose from. My favorite is Cherry limeade.
Nuun products tend to give my loose poops. Not a fan of that....
And on that note, add a small roll of toilet paper in a ziplock baggie to your bag. Especially the kids bags.
Thanks for the info on electrolyte tabs. And I have a whole role in my bag. Best comfort of home for not much weight.
The kid friendly options and awsome picked up blood stop today
“Salt”. Never would’ve thought of the spare AA phone.
didn't he have a thing of replacement electrolytes?
If that's the sonic fox 40 whistle they are ridiculously loud. I carry one on my keys to signal the kids when they are out playing in the woods and it's time to come in. ABSOLUTELY plug your ears lol. Never seen those phones need to pick some up. I would add a deck of playing cards or the good book. Nice to have something to keep people's minds busy when things are bad and you're stuck.
John and James are hilarious
Was that the REAL James Yeager? He never told John, "You're wrong!" even once.
Cubelli Blades: as i always knew they would be great together (on our Beloved's Warrior Poet Society channel).
Best duo ever.
I keep a "bug out bag" and a "get home bag" in my car.
My get home bag is just a hydration bladder carrier with a lighter, poncho, battery bank, a bit of cord, and small useful things. I keep water in water bottles inside the bag so the bladder stays clean. If I ran out if gas or broke down, I could take it with me and have a "comfortable" walk.
My bug out bag some of the key items are a hatchet, poncho, hunting knife, slingshot and ammo, fire starter, duct tape card, cord, zip ties, a crank radio/flashlight/ battery bank, a basic medical kit, and some other things.
My thoughts are a bug out bag should be heavier because you will reach a "safe" location to "set up camp" and start using the supplies and lightening the bag. Not so heavy it's too much to carry of course but heavier than a "get home bag"
Of course knowing how to survive with as little as possible is great but if you have the chance to have useful items, take it
I have been thinking along these lines- thank you for sharing your kit!
My thoughts exactly! I want my get home bag to be light if I need to boogy home from my vehicle.
@@coachtx
As an OCD mechanic organizing is my thing. I arrange my bag by category. Weather gear in one pouch, "repair stuff", like tape, cord, etc in another.
If you have a bug out bag, one thing that goes a long way with little space is spices. If you're eating plain fish, squirrel, bird, you'll appreciate some salt, pepper, and other packets.
My medical bag is a detachable pouch on the outside. If I weren't broke I'd even keep a small gun and ammo in a bug out bag. A life straw and water purification tables are on my list also
Dont buy premade kits, they have a lot of extra junk
@@Sheridantank Thank you!
Reflective tree tacks. Have used them to mark trails in and out of tree stands forever. Used wisely can mark places you may need to find in dark... love cell phone idea....
he needs a map of his area in his pack
I enjoy when ya have yeager on.
Hey James. I still carry a .40:)
I would speculate he would just ask you about the training classes you have taken with it. I.e., training being more important. In classes, no one including yeager asked me about my pistol as long as it ran. I've trained with .40, but mostly 9mm for pistol classes. Like both, no issues with either.
In mine I added:
A roll of toilet paper, some bigger cable ties, a candle and a box of ammo.
Med kit Id add tampons, tourniquet, pressure bandage and small suture kit. A few IBU and aleave
and pill form imodium. a cold pack and a hand warmer pack a small bottle of whiskey or rum.Moisturizing eye drops.
Some jerky and a can of beanie wienies, a can of spam, some hard candy.
Anything not wrapped water tight goes in freezer ziplocks. a bar of soap. A pair of socks.
That wont add that much weight.
Rum/whiskey and beanie weinies/spam....best BOB suggestions ever!!! Turns an off-the-grid weekend into a birthday bash for me!!! LOL!!! Thanks, Mike!!!
I love the jacking with james holding his hand that's is funny as hell
The phone idea is awesome!! The only thing I might add would be a folding shovel or handsaw
I love how John sneaks in all the dad jokes he can and James does all he can to ignore it lmao
Great! My two top trainers working as a team for you and yours. See you again real soon guys.
It’s probably a good idea to have both a “go” bag and a “stay stash”. If the rock called wormwood hits on the other side of the globe, I’ll stay. If it hits close I’ll bug out.
Presumably your whole home should be a "stay stash", assuming you don't just live in an empty room with a lamp.
Wait... You have a lamp?!
I do a lot of backpacking. Some of those items I would not carry. Here's what's missing:
1. Topo maps of your area to find water sources and to know terrain
2. Compass
3. Geiger counter in case of nuclear strike
4. More lifeboat rations
5. Toilet paper
6. MiraLax for constipation
7. Ibuprofen
Loved the $8 phone idea (run on Lithium AA batteries). However, this is just another video of a Go Bag product dump; UNLESS, you both go out for TWO nights with nothing but what's in THAT bag (each of you, similarly equipped) to TEST it. Don't just tell us. SHOW US!!! (Seriously, love you guys, though.)
I am not sure if the video is on his deleted channel, but he has done that with his bug out bags.
My Garmin has satellite comm. I can send texts and I have a sos button.
Just curious, but what good will it do to have them SHOW you this Go Bag in action? Anything they do would be hypothetical in and of itself anyway. How would you like for them to TEST it? "Here's a tarp. You put it up and sleep under it." "First let me injure myself, now here's how you tend a wound." I mean come on man. Either you know how to use this crap or you don't. It's not up to these HIGHLY TRAINED gentlemen to show you they actually know what they're talking about. Their credentials speak for themselves. If you don't trust their advice then why are you watching this channel?
He has
I would certainly watch the two of them stuck out in the woods for two days, and I'm sure I'd learn a lot about survival, preparedness, and verbal de-escalation. However, that's not an easy video for two very busy guys to make. I'm glad we got this video and its value, even if we never get the honeymoon camping trip.
