For those of us in the mountains, don't forget that many (most) water filters should not freeze. Their effectiveness drops significantly. If you leave your go-bag with a water filter in your car in the winter, you need to get an MSR Guardian or some other non-fiber filter.
For this reason (among others) I like to use the SteriPEN. Just keep in mind if you carry it, it is subject to battery failure so you need to ensure its charged, which is a consideration in a vehicle based ready kit that will likely sit idle for many months
Water filter has it's place but is not the right choice for a bag like this. Better choice is chlorine purification tabs like Aquatabs. Or maybe iodine tabs which can also be used to make a wound disinfecting solution. Just my 2c. Sorry P-M.
@@pamountains2 I put a set of glow tack 'eyes' at the top of my climbing trees and when I'm eye level with them I know I'm at the perfect height in the dark. Also a treble hook on 35ft of bank line in an old film canister is a great way to pick up all the shit you may drop down, to include arrows. God Bless.
Yep- every time I cross a new state line, I stop at the welcome centers and get road maps. Also, don't forget to include cold weather clothing during the seasons when it is required.
I love how your fire stuff and glasses are in a hand grenade tube you are my hero I have five children ranging from 19 to 5 own a small business in the outdoor industry I share your videos and subscribe to you love what you're doing I aspire to be more like you and go to one of your training classes
Remember. Assholes break into cars. Keep this shit secure, especially in urban areas. Quality lock box that is fastened to your vehicle . Your Vehicle is not a holster. Don’t leave your weapons in it unless they SECURE. Good shit Pat, thanks for the gear reinforcement
Probably the best one of these I've ever seen. A lot of the pros seem to not care about the more basic things. You ever see those Pedialyte single packets for water bottles? I think those wouldn't be a bad addition, very compact and light, good hydration, long shelf life
Added hand full of mini chems to my kit to help illuminate my 24 year old Trigicon Acog. She doesn't glow so well at night anymore , I tape a mini red chem light on the fiber and glows like new. " BASIC DUDE STUFF"
Great info. Need to get my go bag dialed in. My big downside is my commute eats fuel so I hit 3/4 every day. But I have a 5 gallon jerry can full at all times so If I gotta bail Ill grab it
I have watched a bunch of these type of videos and one thing that never gets mentioned is a basic umbrella and a jacket or sweatshirt. I keep both in my vehicles and end up using them multiple times throughout the year.
First off I would like to say beyond words many thank you!! Sir for your service Mr Pat McNamara You have forgot about more stuff than people have in experience Thank you Thank you sir I am a supporter of your channel and of your tactics that being said I just add to myself my pack EDC is believe it or not orajel or some type of anesthetic for the teeth nothing's worse than having a bad day if you trying to consume something and you crack your teeth or you're having a toothache or what not something so small can be so devastating in order to get from point A to point B a toothache can immobilize an individual with extreme pain it's almost like having a thousand paper cuts 😬
Oil of Cloves is vastly superior to Orajel, also longer-acting; good add to any “hours” bag, even if you’re not looking to be a first responder. Tooth pain cannot be ignored
The people that gave a thumbs down do it just to say they are the ones Always need to be noticed. Fckn amazes me. Keep it up Patman ha great teacher and great guy (from what I do know). CT Native Brother-
Awesome video!! I need to put together an “hours” go bag like that. I’ve got half or more of that stuff hanging out around my house in drawers and bins... currently being nearly useless.
It's 6 MARCH 22, the world has changed again and once again, I see the need, such as this, but I call it a get home bag", with what you mentioned. As I was once told, by an instructor in the police academy, "Anything is possible!" Respond accordingly. Stay safe, y'all!!!!
I'll add a Halligan, fire extinguisher, and bolt cutters. I saw a guy use a set to cut a chain link fence and get a bunch of people out of a wild fire they were trapped by on a highway. We have lots of flood control channels in So Cal that have service roads blocked by locked gates. A set of cutters might just get me off the main roads and home in a SHTF situation. I know where all the flood channels go. I also carry plastic trash bags, space blanket, and zip ties. My stuff is balanced between day to day travel and back country off road trips. I would like to see a basic vehicle set up or pros/cons of vehicles choices video, mostly related to a SHTF situation. I have some thoughts about that.
PM.. Who makes your assault bag.. with model plz and would you ident any bag, web product you use as you go, you picked them for a reason.. nice to know
One thing that has stayed with us from operating vehicles in hostile areas, alway have easy access to the spare tire. Never pack any type of gear/equipment on top of the damn tire if it’s stored inside the vehicle. Also a good jack that will get the vehicle up high enough with equipment still inside of it, along with a 4-Way lug wrench or battery powered impact wrench if possible.
Wow! I was over 50% prepped without even trying : ) Not quite ready to keep a rifle and extra mags in my Focus at all times, but I really need to work on the First Aid arena...
I think it's tragic to have such a highly trained individual blending in with society as if he's a normal person. Pat is anything but normal. Very few folks with his level of training should be allowed on scene of any emergency for any reason.They should give you a real bat signal. unless of course you don't want no one to bother you which is just as tragic. Your skills and knowledge are simply unmatched. Unicorn status.... thank you for your service sir!
I also care a two foot breaker bar with a socket that fits tire lug nuts as it is much easier to persuade a stubborn lug nut with two feet of leverage than those dinky little tire tools that come with most cars. But having a two foot steel rod works for other things as well, persuaded a faulty starter motor on a coworkers truck to turn over and get him to a repair shop.
Its one thing to be a "good samaritan" its another thing when you start injecting things into other peoples bodies. Just know if you should do this you will be breaching the "good samaritan" law in most states. As a career Firefighter/paramedic, I highly advise people to know and understand your states laws that cover this as well as obtain the required training to perform said skills in an emergency situation. When a pt. is in a life or death situation and looking into your eyes for help you will understand the gravity of the situation you put yourself into. Be sure to be what the patient thinks you are! You may be all they have. Good video sir.
If you was in an accident and could see Pat Mac coming you'd know every is going to be ok
And if he's comin' with the AR locked n' loaded pointing in your direction, you know there's trouble
Pat Mac shows up to anything and life just got better
If you was...
There are so many things wrong with this sentence. I’m assuming your first language isn’t English though? Haha
Maybe he'll help you with your grammar.
Never relinquish an opportunity to be Batman.
The 10 year old in me loved this analogy!
With a small b.
@@Liionhawt what’s that mean?
Yea! It the pearl in the whole video. If more people would adopt that philosophy we'd all be better off. Basically then EVERYONE is your swim buddy
Basic dude stuff. Thanks
OH YES..very much so.
basic dude stuff is carrying 8 30 round ar 15 magazines, you know there is a world outside the red states in the US?
...beat me to it...
Basic low emotional IQ, slightly delusional dude stuff.
@@mumblerocks77 - he spent 13 years in delta. I don’t know the guy but he’s probably not lacking in intelligence, nor does he seem delusional.
The world needs more Pat Macs. In a world full of Karen's and Kyle's think Rebekker and Mac when raising your child!
Karen and Kyle are the correct term for whinny people.
@@snipervision1 racist
We need more like him - always giving back and helping others
Pat McNamara is like the master of ANY situation.

It's good to see he is thinking of others ahead of time.
Always listen and learn from Pat .....
Even at age 54 I'm really just getting into the all this training stuff, Pat is the go-to guy for quality information
It's never too late to start learning!
@@swegmastur614 - yup, only too early to stop!
Hunter tacks. I needed to know about those. Thanks
Same. That’s brilliant.
You’ll find them under the name cat eyes. Been using them for years to find my treestand
I never knew about them until I got some in a battlbox. Cool product. They were Firetacks, same idea though.
@@pamountains2 I put a set of glow tack 'eyes' at the top of my climbing trees and when I'm eye level with them I know I'm at the perfect height in the dark.
Also a treble hook on 35ft of bank line in an old film canister is a great way to pick up all the shit you may drop down, to include arrows. God Bless.
They react more brilliantly to the green spectrum headlamps..It's like following an airstrip through a pitch black woods.
Never ceases to amaze...cheers Pat Mac
Meaning no disrespect, but the only Pat Mac I know is Pat McAfee.. Hammer Dahn!!!
Nice variation. Hunter tacks, never heard of them but something to look for. Good philosophy on this bag. Thank you. Good use of a grenade can :-).
"cos I can't see shit without these" PRAISE BE straight down the line a great video thank you.
Love how prepared Pat is incase shit happens. Wish we had more people like Pat Mac in the world.
Yep- every time I cross a new state line, I stop at the welcome centers and get road maps. Also, don't forget to include cold weather clothing during the seasons when it is required.
Same here, last good place for state road maps, and they’re free!
Make it habitual; grateful for Mr McNamara
Pat Mac is a SOLID DUDE
Need a buyers list of everything in the video.
Batman would make his own list
I love how your fire stuff and glasses are in a hand grenade tube you are my hero I have five children ranging from 19 to 5 own a small business in the outdoor industry I share your videos and subscribe to you love what you're doing I aspire to be more like you and go to one of your training classes
Hands down, the best set up on UA-cam! Well done man! 👍🏻
That was excellent. World could use Many more Pat McNamara's - rock & roll baby!
Hey Pat, this was great !
And thank you for all the BDS videos !
Very much appreciate all you do. Common sense is not that common and it's encouraging to see people who have it. Kindest regards.
Pat is probably the most trust worthy stranger anyone would want to come across
Excellent advice! Thanks SureFire and Pat Mac! I had to watch it a second time, pausing, and taking notes.
Remember. Assholes break into cars. Keep this shit secure, especially in urban areas. Quality lock box that is fastened to your vehicle . Your Vehicle is not a holster. Don’t leave your weapons in it unless they SECURE. Good shit Pat, thanks for the gear reinforcement
Yeah, I wouldn't leave any weapons, firearms, etc. in my vehicle.
I don’t think he leaves them in there when he’s not in the car.
Probably the best one of these I've ever seen. A lot of the pros seem to not care about the more basic things.
You ever see those Pedialyte single packets for water bottles? I think those wouldn't be a bad addition, very compact and light, good hydration, long shelf life
U badass. I had opportunity to spend time with delta instructor on long distance shooting. Priceless. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Great video. I love how you guy keep a spare AR in the car, we are not even allowed to carry a pocket knife in out car.
Get the HELL outta Australia! My God, I could not imagine a world that doesn't allow you to protect yourself...
Love this guy. He's very inspirational to me
Stumbled across this channel and it reminded me I lost my surefire in field training in 2009. Still sour over it.
That trick with the tacs are new for me, an awesome idea.
Men like Pat will be teachers & LEADERS in a shtf scenario.
Be like Pat, & educate yourself, stay fit, & never be a sucker!
Thanks for the homework Pat!! Greatly appreciated!
More excellent advice from Pat. Such a good dude!
The tags for the trees to back track is a really awesome idea. I can see where that would come in handy in parts of the country.
What brand is the assault bag that Pat is using? Never seen that one.
Man it's good to hear from Pat again
the tacks are a revelation to me, never heard of it. THANK YOU!
Top gentleman to follow on a short list.
Pat, what kind of flashlight is that!? .... Streamlight. Hahaha! Thanks for all the free information/wisdom!
I had this talk and rundown with my wife 15 years ago. You rock. She was always asking why i had tac bags under seats of my vehicles.
Added hand full of mini chems to my kit to help illuminate my 24 year old Trigicon Acog. She doesn't glow so well at night anymore , I tape a mini red chem light on the fiber and glows like new. " BASIC DUDE STUFF"
Great kit. Building one for each vehicle
Basic dude stuff! Digging the way you think and live. Always inspirational
Nice presentation as usual Pat, appreciate ya.....BOOM!
Good stuff. Thanks, Pat Mac. Keep up the good work.
Pat is the MAN
Great info. Need to get my go bag dialed in. My big downside is my commute eats fuel so I hit 3/4 every day. But I have a 5 gallon jerry can full at all times so If I gotta bail Ill grab it
I have watched a bunch of these type of videos and one thing that never gets mentioned is a basic umbrella and a jacket or sweatshirt. I keep both in my vehicles and end up using them multiple times throughout the year.
When he says keep warm and keep dry, those are probably a jacket and poncho
Down jackets, they take up so little space when packed down but work extremely well in a pinch.

Excellent. I've needed my first aid kit many more times than a gun.
A great video with reminders for focus!
Stay safe and healthy!

So damn true...when I was the sqd (PO) medical guy I carried 3 pairs of readers on or about my heavy gear
Wish I could find a range open like this.
