How to build a Go Bag for localised events - UK Preppers | Not a bushcraft kit
Вставка

- Our Go Bags that are for dealing with localised events, UXB up the road? House fire, Flooding etc. The Go Bags provide the essentials to see us through a 24 hour period.
I'm of the opinion that unless you live in an extremely remote area of the UK if help hasn't arrived within 12 hours then it will probably never arrive!
All Preppers should have a Go Bag as whilst our choice is always to Bug In, if there is an imminent threat to life then we need to have some kit to sustain us when we evacuate (bug out).
These UK Prepper Go Bags are not bushcraft kits for living in the woods.

I just found you. 61yo F from Aust and this is the only channel I've found that is remotely relatable to us. Good common sense info without the bloody endless bang sticks and pew pews. Loving the female inclusion as well. Please get your mojo back quickly because all of we Commonwealth Women need you. THANK YOU.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching, much appreciated 👍
I love visiting the UK. Have friends in Bristol and Egham. Love visiting London. London and Cambridge may be two of my fave places. Want to visit York.
It's a lovely town. Thanks for watching 👍
A fire proof/water proof docs pouch would be a nice add and a good way to keep your docs together. I like the idea of a notebook with important phone numbers. A shemagh would be a cool add. A med pouch is a must-have. Also a contractor trash bag is good for wet things. Honestly a poncho should be a must......gotta stay dry.
Thanks for the suggestions and for watching. It's appreciated 👍
Subscribed.
Hope to see many more videos on your channel.
Thank you for the support, it's appreciated. Enjoy your day 👍
Another valuable, practical, informative UK centric video. Hope all is well and you haven’t been targeted for online grief. I was back in the UK a few weeks ago visiting my elderly mother, decided to beef up and build out her preps a bit more. I noticed that the large butane bottles are now available at the local petrol stations. I didn’t find much variety in canned food at Tesco and Waitrose, seems tastes have changed and most soups, stews etc are refrigerated. I bought oatmeal and sourced some proper honey. Surprised at how many independent pubs have closed or just seem to be hanging on. People seemed to have changed their consumption habits since COVID. The high street seemed healthy in Newbury but the small corner shops seem to be suffering. Sadly the village shop in Woolhampton near Newbury has closed. Hope you are feeling better. The world has gone mad and I have no doubt serious trouble is heading our way, possibly from multiple sources and directions. Being well prepped is reassuring and I make a determined effort to disconnect on Saturdays completely, go for a hike or just slam some drinks down at the port in Marbella. Feel better soon brother your videos are unique and valuable.
Thank you for your kind words and you are right, lots have changed and the future doesn't look Rosey.
Enjoy your day and stay safe.
What’s missing, you got your bag, you got your phone I hope, or your computer, or IPad, and a charging setup for your electronics, I would add that, and a few power packs, then family documents, house documents, insurance and financials, copies of which you should definitely have in your run kit, don’t forget cash in small bills, more AA, and AAA batteries, your area may suffer a power outage. Never leave home without a good knife, or multi tool, and a means of fire, I would add a bigger trauma kit, and the set of rescue shears.
Cheers for the suggestions and thanks for watching 👍
I stopped watching most prepping channels because they aren’t practical and simple!
Gave yours a chance… The Austin Powers reference hooked me!!!
The bag is brilliant.
I would like to respectfully suggest one more item… goggles.
Cheers!👍 Santa Barbara,CA
Thank you for the kind words and the suggestion of goggles. That's a great idea along with a face covering to reduce dust ingestion etc.
Thank you for watching and enjoy your day 👍
Very well thought out and practical for exactly the scenario you point out. One thing I add on my day bag is a British /Dutch army utility strap to the grab handle on the bag so that a coat can be fastened to the bag. It will be securely held and just drape over the bag.
Will have a look at those, thank you. Enjoy your weekend.
Another great video,very practical and well thought out 👍 especially liked the small light on the rucksack cord 😀
Cheers mate, and thank you for watching 👍
This is what my go bag is, but great to see confirmation. The only thing I would add is 1-2 days of any medication you regularly take, and a bag or container for any pets you need to take with you. I have a small duffel with extra food, extra leashes, and collapsible dishes. I saw another video on someone else's channel awhile back where he had put together several bags and boxes of other items he had color coded for a scale of importance, depending on the emergency and how long it would last. If there was time and the emergency was going to last longer (such as wildfire and chemical spill evacuation, etc), he could grab more things. I am not that organized but thought it was a great idea.
Thank you for watching it's appreciated 👍.
I have to admit that I'm working on a bug out system should there be enough warning. Based around storage boxes.
Enjoy your day 😊
Thank you. Another great video. Never thought about insurance policy details in my note book. Thanks for that.
You're welcome, thanks for watching. Enjoy your day 👍
Another nice, simple and practical video. I never know why so many people feel as if they're going to get the urge to run to the hills and start fishing whenever there's a problem. More often than not, it's just a case of having a few extra bits available to tie you over until normality returns!
Absolutely agree. And getting the significant other and the kids to be tactically aware would be a nightmare 🤣🤣
Thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend.

Glad you're back ...
The fairly crap snugpak jungle blanket / jungle bag could easily be replaced with the truly legendary carinthia tropen sleeping bag ...( also has the built in zipped bug mesh , very decent insulation.. top quality zips )
Not much bigger than the snugpak and wayyyy wayyyy better ..
I'm impressed with the rest of your choices .
Great video.
My b.o.b. purposely has only one pocket on the outside so I'm not tempted to overload it and make it too heavy. I try and remember tp look through it every so often - check things are ok, no leaks of anything, add stuff in etc. Good idea about the wee torch on the cord.
Thank you for watching and enjoy your day 😊
A good informative video, especially for those who are new to being prepared. I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago, I thought you looked familiar but I couldn't place where I knew you from. When you mentioned in this video about builders finding a UXB, I realised that you probably lived in the same area as myself. I think we worked for the same company a good few years ago. Just wanted to say hello & that it's good to see a YT Prepper that I've known. Keep Prepping!
Cheers mate and thank you for watching.
Enjoy what's left of your weekend 👍
Morning Alan, nice video. Floods not an issue where I am, however hill fires are and in the past people have been evacuated because of the acrid smoke, but a real curve ball was that in December a Tornado ripped through my locality and people were evacuated because of damage to houses, etc. I would have never thought of that one in the UK
Wow, who would have expected that in good old blighty.
Just goes to show, the importance of being prepared.
Cheers for watching and enjoy your day 👍
Tornadoes believe it or not are extremely common in the UK. I remember reading some where that per square mile it has almost double the USA. Obviously the size of the tornadoes are tiny and size of us vs UK is vast 😂 buts it's a brilliant bit of trivial information
Greetings from across the pond. Always good to learn fresh prospectives from other countries to add to one's ideas and skill set. Thanks for the video.
You're most welcome. Thanks for watching and enjoy your day 👍
Thanks for doing the vid mate, I don't have anything at that level, my 'stepping out/potential hospital bag' isn't as beefy and I don't have a 'BOB' bag or the like. You've given me food for thought on it so thank you, I have a load of rucksacks that I could utilise and that sort of level makes a lot of sense. One thing I spotted (that might be in your FAK stuff) is standard meds, one that seems to be overlooked is the immodium kind of malarkey, if you're out of your normal situation then your diet might change and well..... shit happens.
Thanks again mate.
Paracetamol and anti poop pills included in both bags.
Cheers for watching and enjoy what's left of the weekend 👍
I wouldn't expect anything less. 😄
Nicely done bro 👍
Cheers mate, thanks for watching 👍
Great video thanks for that.
Cheers mate enjoy your day 👍
👏👏 another class video, and an actual BOB not some lets go play army carrying everything but the mondeo engine. The good thing i like about this is IF a really bad shtf happened you could quite easily add a few bits and it would still hold you up for a long time bish bash bosh out the house in minutes. Said it before your videos are actually the best on UA-cam sick of seeing these plastic warriors wanting to play hide in the hills with ridiculous gear set ups and im an ex vet it's barmy. If you need 110litre bag filled to brim youve already failed. Knowledge is king.
Cheers mate. I have to confess, IF it was a proper "Special military operation" type event the good ladies stays as it is and I have a bigger bag with a 3 x 3 DD tarp and a couple of bivvy bags in it. 🤣🤣🤣
@@p2snetwork hahaha tbh I've seen your videos I know matey but I can tell it wouldn't be same crap that is littered on utube lol. This is why loads people like your videos your sensible hahaha 🤣... Just nice to see a propa video with a propa thought out bag keep up the videos top watch
Hi there. Interesting concept the « non bushcraft » bag.
I would take some cash in case credit card stop working.
And maybe a map of your area ?
Anyway, thanks for the video, informative.
Absolutely essential to have emergency cash. And yes, we should have paper maps included.
Thank you for watching and enjoy your day 👍
Hi mate great video!
Can i ask where u get the porridge?
A seller on eBay, they produce their own dehydrated meals. If I can remember their name I'll post it up.
Cheers for watching, enjoy your day 👍
I would substitute the - Deodorant and shower gel, for a bar of soap.
Whatever you're used to using I guess. Thanks for watching 👍
American here, UXB? Nice perspective!
Cheers for watching, recently thousands were evacuated following the discovery of a 500KG German bomb from WW2 in a residents rear garden.
Well thought out. Did you consider a spare set of underwear and socks? Would be a good morale item
There are spare socks in both, a change of under crackers is probably a good idea. Cheers for watching 👍
How often do you refresh the water in the bottles?
Every 3 months when I check the charge in the battery banks.
💪 Promo`SM
Thanks for watching 👍
Heyup Alan.......you stll alive ?
Certainly am 😂👍
Good to hear it (the artist formerly known as Matron)
@@dirtywetdogboatsandsailing6805 bloody hell I thought you had popped your clogs. Long time no see. How are you?
@@p2snetwork Rumors of my demise have been somewhat exaggerated
@@dirtywetdogboatsandsailing6805 well I'm glad you're still with the living. 👍
