My Emergency Get-Me-Home Grab Bag. What I Keep In My Bug-Out Bag BOB.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 гру 2018
- Being prepared for an emergency is really important, hopefully it’ll never happen, but just suppose it does, would you be able to survive until help arrived or make it to safety even if that took several days with just the items on your person?
In this video, I go through the contents of my emergency ‘get me home’ grab bag or bug-out bag (BOB). A selection of emergency items that would hopefully help me if it all went pear shaped! First aid equipment, water treatment, basic shelter kit, a means of making fire and food supplies. It is certainly not a comprehensive list and there are almost certainly items I will change or add as I think of them, but hopefully I’ve got most things covered!
An emergency doesn’t necessarily mean the Apocalypse, a car accident or break-down on a remote stretch of road, being the first on the scene of a car accident, a terrorist incident, a natural disaster, unusual or unexpected weather conditions such a snow storm, or just simply forgetting an essential item on a trip! Hopefully, I’ll never need it, but I know it is there in my vehicle if I ever do!
I hope you enjoy the video and find it useful. Thanks for watching!

Thank you Simon for another great professionally-made educational video. Your videos are both professional and friendly. And thanks for not being one of the many UA-camrs who love to hear themselves go on about nothing. Your videos get straight to the point and we appreciate you for it. All the best to you.
Thank you! That is hugely appreciated! 😁👍
Great bag! I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. You might want to look into a sawyer squeeze to filter your water. You can just put it directly on top of your water bottles whenever you want a drink. Also a couple of heavy mil trash bags would be very useful for making a softer bed & don’t take up much space in your bag. Thank you & I hope that this message finds you well!
A camouflage tarp would be great in snow!
Looks like a good impromptu camping kit!
My Brotha I found this to be the best emergency kit I have seen. Here in the US and you probably have seen, most videos are made by gear junkies. #3 different knives, an axe and a saw, 17 million ways to start fire etc. Your vid was honestly very refreshing to see. Sorry that you have to toe the line when it comes to your knife laws, but gotta make those hard choices sometimes.
Thank you! It’s better to keep things simple I think - if and when a situation arises, there are enough decisions to make without thinking about which knife to use hahaha. 👍
And always a Glock, an AR15, and full combat belt kit 😆 of course, despite the chance of ever needing them being vanishingly small in the US. On the knife thing, the blade law in the UK gives police a fair bit of leeway, that I’m sure would be given if there was a mass car-abandoning snowstorm.
NICE! Very well put together kit that does the job but does not break the bank. With knowledge, this kit could help anyone out of a bad situation.Here in the tropics (Philippines), we would definitely add mosquito repellent, our bugs often carry some bad things. We might also add a powdered sports drink to get electrolytes into a dehydrated person quickly, again, because of our location.
Brilliant. I have been trying to put together a bug out bag for my car in the winter months, but found I was doubling up on a lot of items. Your video has helped me to focus more and get back on track. Thank you!
Thank you - glad it helped! Happy Christmas, Simon 🎄
That's a hell of a kit👍
That was great and yes I was shocked at first to see land Rover not starting 😆
Hahaha - they are not well known for build quality, but at least when they fall apart, you can fix them with minimal tools - good old mechanical machines - wouldn’t have a clue with a modern computerised engine!
@@simonablokeinthewoods Nice! It looks as old as my Jeep. :)
Great, well thought out kit Simon.
UK knife laws in 2024 are not straightforward. A penknife with a blade of 3 inches or less is fine providing it is not a locking blade. If used or intended for use as a weapon then even possession of the humble penknife becomes a criminal offence.
The single bladed sheath knife you are carrying would be unlikely to cause you any issues if you can show a legitimate purpose for having it in a public place. As part of a more comprehensive survival kit for the events you alluded to it would, I believe, be permitted. Keeping the bag secure in the back of your Landy (or boot), where you do not have immediate access to it adds further weight in your favour. Ultimately, it would be for a court to decide if it ever got that far....I don't ever believe it would though as long as you are perfectly well behaved 😆
Great set up and always good to hear another's view on the 'get me home kit'. Thanks for sharing
Good tips Simon, thanks. A few items there that are a good idea and I missed them 👍🏻
The effort of filming your landy 'breaking down' was definitely worth it... fantastic start to the video! Great bug out bag too - I'm definitely going to add one to mine and the wife's car ✌🏽
thanks, Simon - love catching up on these older videos - and after watching this I no longer fear the Zombie apocalypse 😁
Hahaha - it all seems a bit more real at the moment doesn’t it! Stay safe and keep well. 👍
Glad to see that you have returned Simon !
Like I said before, seen A few things I don’t have that I will get and I like the Land Rover .
Have a nice day . Thanks!
Cheers Johnny!
Your dedication to tell a story is amazing, and it shows in a this great video. I live in an area that is supposedly ripe for a "mega" earthquake some day, so I keep a bag in my car too that would allow me to get through a few days. One thing needed is a small stove and pot, and your set up makes sense to me. Thanks again for information that is useful to me, even though I'm 5,000 miles away.
Thank you, glad it was useful! Fingers crossed you’ll never need it! 🤞🙂
Excellent Video Simon , love the old land rovers , excellent info on the B.O.B ☕️😎👍🏼🌲🏕🍁🍄🔥🍂🍃☘️🌿🌱 keep on Bushcrafting
Thank you my friend Simon! Enjoyed this video! Was informative!
Blessings!
Thanks David!
That's a cracking kit, with all the essentials covered. Recently came across your channel, and am really enjoying your content.
Best wishes,
Ben.
Thanks Ben!
Reminds me of our 'basic training' we were given a large knife, a Bergan containing dry clothes,mess tin, full canteen, poly bags (dont ask!) a compass and a small tobacco tin containing 'a survival kit'....er.....ok! (This contained condoms?? We were told to 'work it out for yourself' and these are so versatile for many things apart from the obvious!) or keep the dirt out of your weapon! Then driven out into the middle of nowhere, thrown out of a 3 tonner and told
"right you lot - survive for 7 days....or DON'T........up to you!" That was a useful life lesson, its amazing how fast you can turn back into 'Piltdown man' and turn 'feral'! Just found one of those old County Landys for sale but the seller is asking a fortune for it and its basically held together with rust and needs 'renovating' .....er....really? - but I can restore it and it would be my 'off grid wagon'! But heavily modded for 'apocalypse living' solar panels and rainwater catchment etc. That basic 'daily carry' is an essential.This has made me realise I'm getting slack, I have a few basics in the car, snow shovel , TIN OF SPAM (essential), blanket., gloves, waterproofs but thats it, no backpack? - this is a wakeup call............ REALLY GOOD BOB! Thanks Simon!
Thanks mate! Sounds like a harsh (but enlightening) survival lesson! Landys have shot up in price since they stopped production, they’ll become more and more sought after and thus more valuable. I’ve converted mine into a sort of bug out vehicle (video pending!) simple, but effective. I love that I can fix it when it breaks (and it does often!) with minimal tools - simple engineering!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Cheers, Simon
Nice pace and good explanations. You've got enough gear and nothing fancy or expensive. We all like "cool" gear, but it's about being prepared to take care of ourselves. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you! 👍
Simon, this is great info for anyone caught in ANY situation. If I should lose power in the winter in a storm, I actually have a lot of what I would need to take care. A wood stove in the house is obviously a plus!!! a 5 or 6+ day supply of wood in the woodshed, if it's wintertime. I have a couple of freezers in an outside garage with food that would keep for a time if cold enough. Your information is not only essential but inspirational - makes you think about emergencies and what you would need to do, even if at home!! I wouldn't want to have to go it alone like this, but I know I could!!!
Thanks Maggie!
You make a very good point about being prepared, not only away from home, but at home too! We have the means to keep warm (a wood stove like you) a means to cook (I’m a man of many stoves!!) and various kerosene lamps for light. There’s usually plenty of food in the house too. Prepared, prepared, prepared! 😁
Love that you carry an emergency bag in your vehicle. Living in Alaska for a number of years we prepared and carried our emergency pack in our vehicle as well. Thanks for sharing.😊
If your packing a fixed blade knife I would recommend rolling it up in your tarp or sleeping bag. Has saved me in the past, can't say anything about todays climate.
FFS carry an axe and a saw, if you are out in the wilds in a landie, who is gonna complain?
@@inregionecaecorum still, it's ridiculous not being able to carry a knife.
Wouldn’t it be a pain to have to unroll your sleeping bag every time you have to cut something?
117rebel - the idea of having it rolled up in a bag is so you don’t get arrested. Presumably once you put your bag on the knife can come out.
Andy P the purpose of rolling it into something makes it difficult to access while transporting or in a public environment. I don't know where you go camping but I've never run into any police when actually camping.
Cracking vid Simon good to see the land rover self repaired, seriously though I do a lot of small inflatable boat tips and carried much the same as you for years never needed it but it does give you confidence to know you're self sufficient if the proverbial hits the fan keep um coming mate cheers
Thanks Jeff! Always good to be prepared - hopefully you’ll never need it!
Atb, Simon
Very nice kit. You have all the bases covered nicely.
I feel your pain when it comes to the regulations over kinfes and firearms even though I live in the great state of Texas. Working on a installation that has tough regulations on what you can and cannot have in your vehicle or on your person, its hard to keep a good get home bag.
In Alabama our Supreme court handed down a ruling that an employer can NOT regulate what an employee has in their car as far as the 2nd A goes. Im sure that doesn't go far when you work on a Federal Installation.
Another good one Simon. A great beginning x
And back again! Great Filming!
A typical bug-out bag for survival sytuation with bushcraf skills.
In the Netherlands we are used to more snow I think. Getting stuck with a car on the highway in wintertime is realistic. Sometimes dramatic. Even a overnighter has happend. With lots of snow. Espacialy in combination with high wind. Snow dunes in combination lots of traffic is a real heazert. I'll keep in my car a good blanked, a jacked, pair of cloves, a beany and extra clothes. Also shoes suiteble for bad weather. Food is some crackers and Mexican corn flapjacks and a pot of pinutbutter. Also a plastic bottle 3/4 filled with water. (It will freeze up at some moment, water expand)
You can't let your car run for heating. You run out of fuel and the car can fill up with CO with snow everywere. A few small simple candles in a half open soda can gives surprisingly much heat in a car. (OK, the car becomes graesy on the insite) My kit has also it's use for waiting for help bij a car breakdown with bad weather. Tip: never ware the yellow vest. Buy a orange one ;-)
BTW I've workt for 12 years on a graveyard. Never met a zombie. :-D
Yes, we have that risk here too - like NL, Norfolk is flat so we get drifting and every year people get stranded in their cars.
Nice idea to use candles as a heater - I think I’ll include some in my bag!
Cheers, Simon
Used my blanket at an accident. So go bags are great to have. Thanks Simon. Can see a bunch of stuff to add
Very cool video. Several good options for my bag now. Really enjoy your videos,
Great production quality on the video. A smart bit of kit also
I think you can carry the Mora as long as you can prove what it's for. Nice video and I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
'Of course land rovers never break down' :) love the nervous laugh......
Great kit Simon!!! I'd love to see a follow up video on testing the kit for a reenactment and use it for a couple nights!!!!
Stay tuned my friend! Planning on doing an overnighter with it in the new year (Jan or Feb) 👍
Fascinating Uncle Simon. Being an Aussie mine would be slightly different being a hot country but some great ideas.
Nice one, always be prepared. I think I would include a whistle as well. :)
Cheers! Yes, a whistle is a good idea!
@@simonablokeinthewoods here's something you're missing inside your Coyote BOB in this video I highly recommend storing: 1 Condor Outdoor Knife Arsenal Carry Case in Black or OD (Olive Drab) Green filled with 6 of the same Spring Assisted Folding Pocket Knives or 6 different variety of Spring Assisted Folding Pocket Knives depending on their size after all ya should always have a backup Knife 4 your Main/Primary Knife or better yet a few backup Knives 2 be better prepared just in case something happens 2 your Main/Primary Knife such as ya la lose your Main/Primary Knife someplace/somewhere!
Lovely to see that other people's land rover's are as temperamental as the ones I've owned... great video
Nice kit. Something simple that does not require a small fortune
Merry Christmas Simon to you and your family and thank you for the videos you make...paddy.
Cheers Paddy! Happy Christmas! 🎄
Great ideas. Can use this in many situations. 👍
Really like the set up and I do need to invest in a wool blanket. Army surplus here I come😀 Cheers Sel
Can’t beat surplus gear! 👍
Great item! Your production quality has become really professional - well done, and keep them coming!!
Thanks Peter! 👍
I really enjoyed the video Simon! It’s a great idea to have an emergency bag like this in your car. I’m going to do the same. 😃👍🏻
Always good to be prepared! 😁
That truck is amazing!!
Funkypreper would be proud of you 😊 lol nice one Simon
😂😂 cheers Steve!
Lol yeah Darren would be impresses. Not too much. Just enough.
Great video was worth the wait ! Thanks Simon. What a great affordable bag to use.
Cheers Chris! I think it cost £17, good value - not as tough as some other packs, but not bad. Certainly get you out of a muddle!
@@simonablokeinthewoods yeah I looked it up they sell at sports direct. Don't want to spend out on a maxpedition to stick in the truck!
Chris Caddy That was exactly what I thought 😂
Great work Simon. Worth the wait for the new upload, sorry you had that hassle. One suggestion, you need some treats in that bag for Maggie! All the best. Pretty good day when you and Andy post new videos.
Cheers Carl! Haha - Yes, Maggie’ll have to put up with rice! 🐶
Awesome emergency kit and great video my friend, thank you for sharing this with us! I really wish to see a full video (overnight) of a "real" emergency situation where you actually using this backpack, it can be cool :)
Thank you! I’m planning on doing just that at some point this year. Stay tuned! 😁👍
Useful and comprehensive pack. You need your own show. You voice is soothing & clear and you’re just a likable bloke. My wife has a crush on you and also enjoys your videos. God bless & safe travels 🙏🏼⛺️😎
Hahaha, thanks mate. 👍
Wow, eleven thousand subscribers and UA-cam gives you a whole film production team, camera man, drones, special effects.... excellent video production Simon, nice kit.
Thanks Ross! And thanks to the BBC for providing the production team! 😂😂😁
Sick kit. Practical, efficient. Good vid. Subbed.
Thank you and thanks for the sub! 👍
the defender and your life style so inspiring
Just found your channel great clear and concise info 👍.don't forget the gaffer tape is a good fire lighter and yes I have a Land Rover in the uk they are great at leaving you up the creek without a paddle...I have a 105 Landcruiser in Aus worlds apart quite literally lol keep up the good work Simon 🙂
Thanks mate - always nice to hear from another long suffering green badge owner! Why do we do it? 😂
Take two 😄
Awesome, great vid, great kit ideas!
Thanks buddy!
That is a great pack to have in your car boot/trunk. For being stuck in traffic with lots of snow, or any other short term emergency. Where you need to travel a few hours or an over night sleep outside. Before getting help and back to normal.
Your videos are Excellent Brother love the get home bag gonna be putting one together just ordered some stuff from Amazon Thanks for the Education Simon 👊👍
My pleasure Sir! Glad it helped!
Really good pack there Simon, think you have covered all outcomes :).
Who is that bag made by?? Look's like a K on the front,, Karrimor by any chance ??
@@tomcatt1824 ua-cam.com/video/Rhnsk6rM_6k/v-deo.html
After watching several of your videos I’m going to start up bushcraft, I’ve been interested for a long time but never pushed myself to try it out. I do a quite stressful job so think getting back into nature could seriously assist with my well-being.
Now to start looking into places etc around me lol
Well I finally did it, myself and my kit went wild camping over the weekend nothing extreme but felt at peace with nature (although could have done without the extreme winds lol) thankyou again Simon (and several other inspirational figures) for inspiring me to get out there
Really enjoy watching your vids Simon always informative and to the point, all I’d add is some loo roll and hand sanitiser.
Good call!! (Of nature! 😂)
Love your content as ever Simon, well produced with a decent story line. but I really don’t buy into the prepper thing, unless I bought a Land Rover of course, then I’d be prepped up to the eyeballs for every trip.😂😂
Tuna in foil sachets are a thing to consider. Light as and good protien source, and cheap.
If you get the type of tuna that's in oil, you can make a lamp using the oil and a wick.
The only part of that I would worry about is how it would keep say if you keep your pack in a hot car. But I snack on those individual serving Tuna packages all the time so would certainly consider keeping a few in a get home bag. I'd prefer my bag to be relatively low maintenance.
@@Shane-Singleton as long as you aren't in the 100° range (American, idk Celsius sorry) a tin would be fine. I agree that the pouches can expand and open at 120° which a car can heat up to in 100° weather.
@@johnmichaels4330 Texas here. If it won't withstand 110 in August in the trunk of a black car I can't use it.
@@Shane-Singleton yup, Houston area here. Same thing.
Great video 😎 thanks for sharing 🍻
Don't know how after all these years now I haven't seen this yet, 😕 haha excellent loadout simple and sweet!! 😁✌️💚
A spork Simon!
You forgot your spork! 😉
Nice video mate!
Simon will be carving out one to fill in his free time whilst avoiding the zombies.
Thanks Man , good tips !
Hi Simon, great idea. Very good filming during car driving and the arriving. KR. Alex.
Thanks Alex!
Cracking video Simon I don't carry a bug out bag but have a few fings in the car that might make a difference in helping to stay worm and Bryan atb jimmy 😎 😎
As others have said A whistle, I use a Fox 40. When I had a vehicle I always had an emergency box in it. Usually a Colman single burner stove, water and some food (regularly rotated out), first aid kit, road safety kit ( flairs etc.) a blanket , sleeping bag and some emergency candles. One candle will keep the interior of a car warm at -40, but you have to make sure you have some ventilation. I usually had a walking out bag similar to what you have. With the fixed blades knife if the police over there are like the ones here as long as you where not in an urban area and in the countryside you should have no problem with it in the bag, until using it.
A whistle is a good idea! And I’m going to add some candles too! It seems that if you can show you have good cause and reason to have a knife , you’ll be okay! Cheers, Simon
Brilliant video well down very informative GOOD STUFF
Amazing just how much stuff we can put in these packs. Carefully selected, they can help us survive many scenarios. Love the UK, shame you have to worry about owning a simple Mora knife.
Yeah, that is crazy..... absolutely crazy.
I've got the same bag , it's my Mediterranean bag it carries my phone towel reading book , sun tan lotion and wallet. I didn't realize you could get so much in it. Lol
Very well thought out, only thing I would like to have is, possibly some small fishing line and hooks. All together it is an awesome bag Mate. exceptional video as expected from you. Atb Von
Thanks mate! Fishing kit is a good addition! It’s an art form I need to improve on - I am a terrible fisherman hahaha!
@@simonablokeinthewoods Extra thick fishing line so that you can lay out night lines to catch eels in ponds.
Nice Simon, liked that. If I get stuck in snow on the A11 hope you're the car Infront, my emergency bag only had 2 bottles of red and a bar of Diary Milk 😃
Sounds like a damned fine emergency bag to me! 😂😂😂 I hope you’re in the car behind me!
I'd have a few toiletries - wet wipes, toothbrush etc. Plus some work gloves to protect your hands and warm socks (can also work as mittens when cold) and change of undies, if doing a lot of walking need to keep you feet in good condition and don't want chaffing of your bits either :)
The lightest kit I would ever carry is a metal water bottle, a good fixed blade knife, and gloves. Your hands are the most important tool you have. You can injure any other body part and still reasonably take care of survival tasks, your hands go and your screwed.
Currently making a get home bag! Thanks for some ideas on the contents!😄👍
Thanks Lily, glad it was useful! 😁
Nice one dude, I did a similar thing a few weeks back with my bowdrill video, had to re upload. I'm happy to watch this twice mate 👍
Thanks mate! It’s those bleedin e-pixies at work again!! Atb, Simon
Great video Simon. Really like that wee karrimor rucksack. And of course you deserve credit for driving the greatest vehicle in the world, although I may be a little biased.
Cheers Sam! Ah, you’ve been bitten too eh? Real shame TATA or whoever owns Land Rover these days stopped production of the Defender - their best product by far - I think they are going to continue making them for MOD contracts though!
@@simonablokeinthewoods it really is a shame. Even if they finally decide to bring out a new utility type model they've already lost a huge percentage of that market because they have taken far too long.
I want that rover. What a unit! 👌👌
Nice kit, i would add a mylar spaceblanket and a few big garbage bags (drumliners) And maybe a emergency bivvy? Mine is just 300 grams and red in color.
It could double as a signaling device and keep you and your wool blanket dry. Wet wool weighs a ton. ;)
Simon, new subscriber here and I'm really enjoying your videos!
"If the zombies come." -> That's exactly what all my prepping boils down to, actually. You misspoke though. It's "when" rather than "if" ;-)
Keep up the great work!
Haha! Thanks mate, when they do, we’ll be ready!! 😁
That is a sweet Land Rover you have! Defiantly a good ditch bag. Got me thinking, even in suburbia i could defiantly come up with a bag, especially driving a 39 yr old westy
Always good to be prepared! 👍
Great video I have a KAC reg disco to, keep up the good work 👍
Brilliant informative video.
I like you Simon, fun to watch. And you never know when the Zombies May come. 👍🏻
Thanks Kim! 😁
Well thought out as usual!
great acting. almost had me fooled
as always great vid simon
Nice job on the kit. You might want to add a space blanket for added warmth or fire reflection. Also, a pair of gloves, whistle, and a water filter would be beneficial. However, you did a great job and the kit as it stands is probably just fine. Nice job!
Thank you, I’m going to add a space blanket, takes up very little room and a whistle too. I keep gloves in my vehicle for work anyway, so that is covered. Although definitely easier than boiling, I decided against a filter, purely from a size point of view - I’ve only recently started using a filter at all - I’ve always just boiled water. Cheers and happy Christmas, Simon
Hi there... Thanks for the video and tips... :) I allway cary a pair of working glowes, so I can protect my hands from the weather, the task I have to do or when I have to climb over under or in between thinges. I also always have some sort of flashlight with me... :)
Great video Simon. I do the same thing here in Canada.
Always good to be prepared! Thanks Kevin and Merry Christmas!
Great setup Simon, I have the same Covert bag. Good to be prepared. ATB :)
Not bad for money are they! Cheers buddy.
@@simonablokeinthewoods Yeah not bad at all, I use mine for a general purpose carry, works well for keeping my shooting kit in as well when I'm out.
Better than usual suggestions for using each item plus a fine selection of items. Somehow, I believe YOU could have fixed the vehicle!
Hahaha - I know that engine intimately, having taken it out and rebuilt it - it’s a very simple engine - just the way I like it! Cheers James!
I like your backpack and it's contents because you do need to be able not only to make fires, but also be able to cook if you have to and you are prepared for such emergencies.
Thanks Sidney
Nice video Simon
Thank you 👍
Cheers Des! Happy Christmas mate.
Add some thick garbage bags, can us as a groundsheet, poncho, rainwater collection, add leaves to make a bed. Cheap and useful. Add a beanie, gloves, socks, rainjacket, thermals etc. Some extra layer of clothing.
All good additions - I had to have a cutoff for stuff I could carry in that small bag - I do have clothing including rain gear in my vehicle anyway, so I’d grab that and strap it to my pack if the need arose. 👍
Nice setup thank you :)
Some years ago we had a major localised snow event here in rural Victoria (Aust), first snow in 30 years & nobody was prepared. As a firefighter I spent most of the day rescuing stranded people in a 4x4 fire truck. People could easily have died so I've kept a 'just in case' bag ever since. Plus a small EDC pack.
Great video!😎🤙
"Without Lawful Authority or Reasonable Excuse" is the get out clause for the knife matey and I'm ex plod so you would be covered by the 'reasonable excuse' part of the Law.
Nice vehicle I had a 67 International Scout right hand drive but I pulled the 4-cylinder out and put a 307 Chevy engine with a 2-speed Powerglide oh man oh man that thing was a badass vehicle after that that poor little four cylinder was just old and tired that was the best two wheel drive truck I've ever had it would go anywhere Simon anyway brother love your videos keep making them and I'll keep watching them maybe one day when I get to the UK I'll look you up
What a great idea , in my hobby we have a van with bed /stove etc that is ok for when we go for a w/e as we take food and the rest of it, but I remember the storm beast from the east earlier this year we were in Wales up a mountain and almost caught us out , only there for the day , I f we hadn't made it out of there when we did farmer said we would have been stuck a whole week , so now I know to adapt a bug out bag too thanks for the tips and haha zombies :) best wishes
Sounds like a close shave there! Always good to be prepared for the worst, even if you never need it! Easier in a van equipped for over night stays like you say! Your finds might come in handy too if the s@@t hits the fan - put that 2nd century Roman dagger back in to use!! 😂😂
Good stuff !
