Nice urban recce loadout!
RECCEEEEEEEEEE
Meme Loadout
Peanut Butter Urban Reeses Kit
Hop EDCs a collapsing ptr91in his bag stoppin power
Pls stooooooooppppppp
In college I started to EDC carry a "man bag" everywhere. The dopamine hit of whipping out something useful in the perfect moment kept me addicted. Now I work in IT so I upgraded my man bag to an Unbox Therapy pacsafe messenger laptop bag. I have probably more than half of the stuff you show in the video, so you have validated me. And you gave me some great ideas. Thanks Brass Facts.
Bought a tac messenger bag 6 years ago in college because I wanted to downsize from my backpack, but still be able to hold my laptop, some notebooks, phone charger etc and loved it ever since.
Now that I'm into firearms and work in an office, sometimes it's just not comfortable to wear work pants and conceal, which brought me back to my tac bag. Looks inconspicuous, but I actually have a full sized, 4 mags and a brace kit 🤣 Looking to throw in a medkit in there too
Bro. This channel is fucking life. I started with TNP, IV8888, Sootch, all them OGs. I remember the 2013 days well…. Man I’d love to go back too, but still holy fuck this channel is so top tier.
Don’t compliment him. Just post mean comments he likes those.
Same here, started in 2010 with Nutn and some of the other OGs!
Lol sootch. The biggest shill I’ve ever come across
@@cub8556 major shill, but he did get me thinking more about get home bags/preparedness. And he gave a good loadout blueprint to take ideas from.
Are four of those channels you listed fucking blow.
Your the “Aculite” of the gun community. Calm and chill narration, without negativity.
I subbed 5 min into the video.
Thanks for all your doing!
These are great because they don't freak people out and they also don't recommend wildly irresponsible gun behavior.
A good load-out kit. A couple suggestions for small, lite, versatile items that might be added: a lighter (with or without 12-18"of duct tape spooled around it); and a toothbrush and small travel-sized tube of toothpaste. I have had multiple planes cancelled, and a 3 hour layover that turned into almost three days spent in an airport once, when a national strike was declared in the country that I was transiting through. But, I can imagine other travel challenges, and more difficult situations. Being able to brush your teeth after a long, difficult day is a small thing that makes a big difference.
“BrassFacts’ Primary Do-All EDC Urban RECCE Get Home SPR Checkpoint Wonderbag”
honestly when the dog was reviewing the bag and all that was in it while his human tinkered with his bag i knew this channel was something special
23:40 - I'd say that for a commuter travelling through a populated area less than 20 miles from home(the bulk of America), you have all you need and then some. A lot of people get confused with a GHB and forget the "get home" part, and then start adding silly things like fishing kits and snares for small animals and flyweight sleep systems, and end up spending way too much on a bag that they won't carry around because it's too bulky and too heavy. And praise you for leaving a good amount of empty space for the mail, a grocery bag, a work lunch, etc.; it makes me crazy when people don't think about that!
A couple minor additions I'd consider: a Silcock key, a multi-bit screwdriver and small adjustable wrench, and a BreachPen.
breachpen actually looks really interesting. Thanks for turning me onto it.
Breach Pens are the opposite of discreet though.
@@echofoxtrotwhiskey1595 99% of the time, the BreachPen is way more discrete - and practical - than carrying around bolt cutters and a crowbar. And in the event that you need it, it's probably an urgent situation where discretion is a luxury. If I need to get through a locked door to hunker down from a tornado/hurricane/severe storm, or avoid a mob of violent protestors/looters, or get a vehicle through a chained gate in a hurry, or any number of other scenarios, I'm less concerned with going unnoticed. And the few situations where I might be are not enough for me to want to deal with the weight and bulk of other tools.
For 95% of people in 95% of situations, the BreachPen is the right tool. If your situation requires something different, or if it makes you feel better to have something else, power to you. But to carry on your person on a daily basis, the BreachPen is a pretty solid default.
I totally forgot about Nutnfancy. I watched so many of his 70 hour long review videos. Great get home bag. Some really small items that I suggest adding are: a Sawyer Squeeze - because purification tablets taste like trash, a Foretrex - because relying on a phone for GPS is sketch, a headlamp - because handhold flashlights are annoying, a white or red mini keychain LED to your shoulder strap - because they are crazy convenient. All of that could be added to your current setup without any noticeable difference in capacity or weight.
TBH for only a little bit less capacity you could add a lightweight tarp like the DD Hammocks Superlight, and small saw like the Silky Gomboy and this would be a super capable long term survival kit and not just a get home bag.
lol I love how Nova is just watching wide eyed and seems so surprised at everything 🤣
Tbh i’ve been debating the whole edc vs get home, capability vs practicality setups and i think your approach is more along the lines of what i’m thinking. I don’t think having a large “ruck” that u could survive off indefinitely is a bad idea at all just like having a fighting rifle always nearby, however the other 99% of time such as going to work/hanging with friends orFam/ to even taking a short walk in the park is what the lol “mission” is. So a smaller bag/gear that gives u SOME capabilities is more optimal. Great stuff once again and i’m working on dropping a similar setup soon!
that was my logic when I came up with this roughly in 2017. I never brought my gethome bag with me, and neither did my friends. So I sorta had a moment where I realized something like this was needed.
It is highly admirable that when the shtf, it won't be your dogs' as you'll have cleaned up after him. You, sir, are a gentlemen.
Definitely my favorite channel right now. Thanks for the content
lmao you really nailed it with the whole 2012-2013 tactical apocalypse hype,really brought some good memories,I miss those days
This guy pumps out great information and videos, I have been hooked since I found him.
I keep a rectangle felt lined table cloth in my bag. It's waterproof to lay on, can make a tent, and could also be a blanket. It folds super flat and it's lightweight. About $4.00 anywhere. Beef jerky, dried fruit, bread bags to put on my feet to keep dry, other obviously important things listed in this thread, this list is just a few extra things.
Those old school crappy felt lined plastic table cloths are a great idea.
Taken me some time to come back around, I'm revisiting a bag I had in my teens and 20's... The "hookup/accidental drunk bag" designed specifically around crashing at someone's place for a night, with snacks shareable munchies and a change of shirt etc if got spewed on, and hygiene stuff with a towel and a sleeping bag and mat etc if relegated to the floor.
"hookup/accidental drunk" bag is actually a great name.
Basically what this is... but with added firepower haha
Gear drives the mission. Story of my life
probably a little subconscious there coming out xD
Great reasoning for a lot of these items, but just not quite enough in my opinion for when I am inserting or am embedded in my basement.
yeah might need a 48hr or ruck for that.
Your dog really loves you I have my 2nd Belgium Malinois she is 9 years old we are together every minute of every day.My first Male Malinois lived 15 years we also spent everyday together work home camping I had my pup.I love your channel I am glad I found it.thanks for all your time.
Thank you for having a sensible approach to this subject. Many of your contemporaries seem to think that the first thing they need to do in any survival situation is build a fire and boil water in a stainless steel bottle.....
Some things I’d add are a good mask (not just for the flu, fires, debris, smoke, or even just stench), spare keys (the most likely emergency for me at least is being locked out), sunblock and bug spray depending on your location, and lastly copies of important documents. This is not the major ones. I wouldn’t have a pic of my social security number, but having a list of phone numbers, emergency contact, or whatever stuff you’d normally carry in a wallet that may come in handy should it get stolen.
I love how this guy gives the most tactical descriptions of everyday things😂
I love the idea of a EDC bag and I've been caring one for a few years but yes keep that "go" bag by the door or in your car also.
Good tips. Ordered some tent stakes to add to my kit.
it's also just clutch while camping.
You need more LPVOs and Elcans in that pack
don't let hop know you said the world 'elcan'. He might break up with you.
Hey that's my line
@@Hoplopfheil i thought 'recce' was your line
Why would you pack extras when the Elcan is indestructible?
@@harryballsagna2418 because you probably want a good optic ready if you actually need to shoot something
Yeah man. Nice kit. Dig it.
Definitely makes me rethink my bag, thank you 🙂
Great video man. Good info, loved the gypsy pack so I just ordered my own. Perfect for my needs whipping a service van around the highly populated city I work in. Live roughly an hour away, urban to rural trip home. Appreciate the content my dude.
I'm a rather new sub so I have come back to watch this one before your urban RCCE loadout video, I carry my .300 blk pistol in a few different things, briefcases, jansports, one of my "5.11 MOLLE encrusted packs" but this gypsy is a great loadout and i will be buying one.
Respect! The only way we achieve this level of kit is by making & upgrading our GHB 10 times. Personally, I have rebuilt mine 18 times.
Thanks for being a child on TNP like ME!!!
Doggo is like "heck yeah cool cool man I love it but why are you telling me all this?"
I'd also recommend getting a standard and metric set of folding Allen keys, and a lockpicking set.
Bag videos ARE cool! Thanks for the work.
Very sensible setup.
I like this video and the way you approach all your topics. Thanks
Looks good
If you’re in an urban environment, I’d recommend a water key as well just in case. It allows you to get water almost anywhere in the city.
Amazing video, and a through explanation/exploration of practical prepping!
thanks man!
@@BrassFacts of course! any thoughts on packing something like a glock chassis (or any sort of device that improves your pistol's capabilities)?
@@FrontTowardsAnemone depends on the type.
Personally I don't want to loose my ability to use my handgun as a handgun.
But a second gun like a glock flux, or a glock ubw might be good. Though I have yet to shoot them. Not sure if they're actually increased capability.
All metal water bottles you can screw a lid on loose, and hang it over a fire is preferable to one with plastic if possible.. gives you one more boot dryer, and or warm thing to carry with you , helps a person sleep deeper and get better quality of rest with less time.
Always look forward to your video drops
That's a pretty nice looking bag and loadout. I need to look that bag up...
Thanks. Great concepts for us motorcycle commuters.
Great vid man, nice to see a GGG bag. I considered getting a Gypsy back in the day but didn’t. Looks like it has quite a bit of capability though!
My regular EDC bag has a lot of this stuff, but I see some areas for improvement too.
Soothing music, splendid views, and common sense. Winning combination, amigo.
thanks man
Two things. Surefire earplugs are a two piece design and can end up leaving one piece buried in your head when it pops off in your hand, ask me how I know. Secondly, parasitic drain on your radio. Pop the battery off when being stored or use a little slip of paper to keep the contacts isolated. Good content.
thanks, Yeah the surefires are just emergency things.
It's cold enough of the year that the foamies don't work
Solid. I think I would separate your gun oil & fire starting tools. Mr Murpy's is a biatch! Keeping your com's in a bag is smart. Thanks for the share!!
Man, I really like that TP9. I wish we had a better version available.
I tried to look for the bag you have in the video based on your reccomendation. Unfortunately, the gypsy is now only available in a gen 2 model (the one you have is no longer available) and a bunch of stuff was downgraded like no more fleece on the flap pockets, the carry handle was made worse, the side water bottle flaps were made... weird, amidst a couple other non-issue changes.
tragic.
I was into tactical firearms before you were born! But I’m always ready to learn something new!
If you carry cash in your bag, you may consider carrying a roll or two of quarters. We have all run into a vending machine that won't execpt paper money.
that's pretty smart. I have some in the car, but not on person/bag. Granted my area doesn't really seem to have that many vending machines
That is going to be the most well prepared dog in history for any apocalyptic event
Priorities. Gotta keep the dog happy.
@@BrassFacts jokes aside, this was an excellent video. Thank you for making it! How has the grey ghost bag been holding up for you?
@@WilmsIsBoss good, have had it for several years now
I agree with many of your points. I keep a large Get Home bag in my car, another in the wife's car, a medium size bag at work (it stays there) and my Every Day carry bag. Each bag covers particular needs and concerns. I work 30 mikes from home and that is a serious concern. I will have to go over, or around many bridges and overpasses.
I carry a bit of Paracord with me all the time. Just a piece the length of my wingspan it's been super useful.
Get a silcox key, easiest way to get access to clean water in urban environment. Also you want to base your load out based on how far you have to go. If you're trying to get home within the same city, don't need that much.
If there was widespread chaos, the Dunning-Kruger effect would be very strong in the people who were part of the "preparedness" pseudo-community.
New video themes: Nova must survey and give the gear an approval for every video.
like the gunsandgear dog xD
Nice gear. Cute puppy.
I recently invested in a few DefendTek "AR Holsters"
It's a Molle receptacle with an end plate for your lower receiver with a knuckle on it. I've got one on the side of my get home bag, and one on the front of my plate carrier. It takes up almost no space, gives a QD port for a sling, and makes stowing your rifle with or without a sling super easy.
I keep one on a 10.5" ultralight 5.56 build, and one on my 16" general purpose rifle. If I'm rucking, I'll keep the 10.5" stowed on my pack, fully collapsed with a bungee cord holding it tighter to the bag so it doesn't swing.
It takes me about 5 seconds to unsnap the bungee, and pull it out of the Holster system.
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice bag. The only thing I would suggest is a paper map of your local city and area.
I like this concept a lot. I think canvas still screams military, though not as much as MOLLE. Maybe check out some of the high end designer leather goods. They are all extremely durable, waterproof, and have lifetime warranties and serviceability.
Since you mentioned NutnFancy, I thought up an acronym for you to use for this concept:
Modular
Urban
Ruck for
Survival
Emergencies
Dude just get whatever bag you want. I see molle bags everywhere. In a SHTF moment anyone with a backpack is going to be a target.
Nice Rimworld OST
Cute fuzz all too
she's the one that actually runs the channel.
Spare TP belongs in every bag. Also- a spare 16oz water bottle. Empty is fine because I can't count the number of times my kids have peed in a bottle in traffic jams
If I get home then I have to complete my 'honey-do' list. PASS.
haha!
Add a monocular/small binoculars and it’s gtg. They’re def a capability amplifier.
Cool video thanks.
Love the dog.
Iam pretty confident that my sig P365XL can get me through basically any realistic senario.... and I always have that.
Wet wipes do a far better job cleaning than TP and definitely offer more uses per volume
yay new brass facts vid!
Corporals corner has a pretty rational get home bag
In all honesty, I’m just here for NOVA
You know us too well. Came for the TP9, stayed for the dog.
great video 📷
Great Backpack, its now around 200 $.
A HossUSMC reference?! That’s an OG BoogBoi reference, from back before there was such a thing. Well done sir.
Three comments.
1. What battery charging cable is that?
2. Love the idea of the clips on the exterior of the bag. I currently use little stainless steel Nite-Ize carabiner clips, but they let whichever pouches I attach (can attach 2 to the flap, and 1 to the bottom) flop around too much. I have three, situational dependent, pouches that I can attach; an empty general use pouch (that stays wadded up in the bottom of the pack to increase my edc bag’s capacity), med pouch (that stays in the pack), and an ammo pouch w 3 loaded rifle mags and some boxed ammo (that stays in the vehicle, not on/in the bag, attaches to the bottom of the bag). Will be looking at incorporating those clips.
3. That 1L light will also run off of AA and AAA batteries, so three battery types, both rechargeable and non. So 6 different battery options.
1. Which one? the CR123 charger? That's a olight one.
agreed with much of what was said. ive been very intrigued in the Glock PDW style setups for a while now, as my emergency bag that lives in my vehicle doesnt include a carbine, just several extra mags for my carry gun (MR920 Elite with a 507c MRDS and TLR-7a) i love the idea of a "drop in" system that gives more capability and doesnt require me to be responsible for a gun left in my vehicle.
Get 750 cord instead. It's the same thing, but with more internal strands. It's a bit easier to manipulate, a bit stronger
I am totally a consumerist slave as well!
Live on!
I have several of same blue Olight magnetic chargers that you have. I think Olight recently stopped making them, but someone else is, they're just slightly different, they may not charge as wide a range of batteries as the Olight, or maybe only LiON. Can't recall exactly. Read the description before buying. I've had good luck with that charger charging everything from small N size batteries I use in my range finder up to 18650s. You can use those chargers to charge batteries from a powerbank, solar cell, a 12v DC plug, or anything else w a USB outlet. I've found that a lot of the 12v DC power port plugs floating around are very low powered. Sometimes under 1 Amp. The charger will be optimized if you have one of the high power plugs delivering at least 2 to 3 amps. It's worth throwing a high output plug in your kit IMO. Also, I carry an adapter that has two 2 foot long wires with alligator clips on one end and that terminate in a 12v DC plug port on the other. There's also a fuse in there somewhere. You can clip the adapter directly to a 6 or 12v battery. The power ports in my vehicle stop working when I turn the engine off, I imagine they do as well in some other cars. The adapter let's me tap my battery directly. My hunting camp is off grid so we come up with some interesting duct tape and baling wire work-around projects sometimes. I once used spare wire to rig two partially charged 6v deer feeder batteries in parallel to the adapter to charge my phone. But it would have worked just as well on flash light or NODs batteries. The adapter would also work on disabled vehicles with partially charged batteries, or just their scavenged batteries. You might be able to tap solar powered road sign batteries also. Electric fences in the country are also usually run from a solar powered 12v battery. As are many electric gates in remote areas. The batteries in both cases are often located near a gate for ease of maintenance. You can use those to top off your personal battery banks as well, if you have the DC plug and adapter.
Other items you might want to consider. Numbet one: Def need some hand sanitizer to use before you remove and put in your contacts. Just let it dry thoroughly before touching your eyes. Headlamp w red light option, bug spray, and sun block. I like having a 16 to 20 in sq piece of waterproof material to sit on in case the ground is wet. I use a small section of thin, closed cell foam that I cut from a sleeping bag mat. It rolls up inside my pack. They make folding egg crate pattern products that take up even less space. You could probably even take a piece of canvas and spray one side with the plastic/rubbery stuff they promote on the big box end caps. I've also heard Tyvek works well, and it gets more silent after you machine wash it a couple of times.
Ha; I watched all of those channels.
the golden age of guntubers.
This channel reminds me of an early stage GarrandThumb
I think that's a compliment?
Makes me wonder how other guys are building their GHBs, since mine already looks a lot like this. I have a much larger pack for bugging out or camping but this is like my normal pack.
One thing I am curious about with all these get home bag videos (I have a bag myself) - is how interactions will be handled on your journey home. Most of the videos seem to assume armed contact. The first 24-48 hours after an event necessitating you to walk home probably wouldn't be very hostile. And if you live in a populated area, you're likely to be walking home with a lot of other people as well.
yep, hence the focus on a concealable PDW at most
@@BrassFacts as opposed to the average get home bag video on youtube 😂:
ua-cam.com/video/WA0joYngQKE/v-deo.html
You should consider a DBX-57. Takes AR triggers and grips and with a folding brace folds up real small but has the ballistics of 5.7X28 instead of a 9mm. I love mine. I dont love the price of the ammo but everything is a trade-off. Too bad we cant get the real nice 5.7X28 ammo....
Awesome video bro! Happy Thanksgiving! You should link up with 1911 syndicate on UA-cam one of them lives in your state!
one day perhaps. I'm still pretty small fish.
@@BrassFacts Smaller fish or not, your content is way more tasty
So would you keep this in your car alongside your bigger pack or would you bring it along if you think you maybe away from your car for a period of time?
the bigger pack just lives in the car. I basically pretend it doesn't exist. This always comes with me
What is that gun? I looked up tp9 by Canik. But I see yours has a folding brace ??
tp9 by B&T
Swap your zip locks to dry locks
What brand is that water bladder?
Been loving your videos. Serious question: new PCC in my get home bag or red dot on my G19 and a couple thousand rounds of 9mm to practice longer range shooting?
dot on the pistol
Anytime you're debating between buying a new gun and training with a gun you already have, do the training. When you know you need a gun for a specific role, you won't have that debate.
Realistic items you've considered for the scenario.
Nice kit, but I watched the whole thing because of the dog - and will binge watch more vid's hoping the to see more dogs.
it's my secret weapon.
How about a sillcock key to access water from commercial buildings?
I would propably use a similar approach
have stuff in a bagpack that lets you survive 24-72h to get back home / to a better shelter in case you get stuck somewhere.
have you considering adding smth like a emergency candle to it? or a small emergency cooker similar to the german Esbit cookers that can fold away?
nope, I don't find the ability to cook food is worth the weight. That's for different setups
One can of sterno heat.
Realistic
Nice
Where do you normally go shooting? I’m in Utah as well
West Desert. in the lone rock area.
@@BrassFacts Nice I like that area. I usually go West of Utah lake but it gets super busy sometimes.
