Hey there, Lilly :) I was wondering if you'd do a sort of challenge video where you have to make a Survival kit/Bug out bag/ Emergency kit for 100$. It would be interesting to watch!
Bear spray works for EVERY THING.
I've been studying prepping and discovered a great resource at Marla survive system (check it out on google)
I lived out in the woods for three months during cold months, many years ago. You just reminded me how IMPORTANT it is to have a scarf. I spent many freezing nights cursing that I didn't have a merino wool scarf that can double as a warm blanket for your face, because it can get that cold. It is definitely one of the basic necessities.

Hi Lilly! I used your Urban Survival Kit yesterday at the Womens March in LA! Huge success. My similar backpack (rucksack) was essential to living out the day in LA on the streets with 750,000 people! Top three tools for me in order, Leatherman tool (to open zip ties on the new and locked portable bathrooms in the morning) my portable power pack charger (shared with many friends) and lastly my headlamp (torch) on the dark bus on the ride home. Thanks for all the great videos!
awesome. I am honoured that my video helped you :)
i would keep the pepper spray where you can get at it not in the backpack
Thanks Lilly. I had a friend, ask me about urban survival. I just forwarded your vid to her. You explained it way better than I could have.
Hey Lilly, Long time fan, short time subscriber. I really enjoy your videos, especially regarding the various packs you have set up. It shows the practicality of setting up these bags and that you don't need a ton of gear just to get you through. Thanks for posting as the advice is terrific. Keep updating them and showing us more exciting things. Thanks, Tim
After having been stuck in elevators, many subway trains, two hurricanes, many blizzards, two large scale black outs, several small and one huge earthquake, I've honed what I carry down to what has proven to be valuable, usable and not burdensome.
-Pepper spray should never be in the backpack because its inaccessible, it should be close to your hand and you should be able to deploy it instantly.
-I also carry glow sticks but after testing
-Several small Water bottles, because a sealed water bottle is very valuable and can be used as currency or barter item.
-Several small protein bars, because a sealed food is very valuable and can be used as currency or barter item.
-A cell phone is obviously useful but do not depend on it working, the battery will run out quickly because you'll be making calls and looking p maps plus the cell phone towers might be running ion they operate on battery power but in past disasters we have seen many towers stop working altogether because they do not have emergency generator power for each tower. We have also noticed that in a disaster, all the phone line capacity at the phone company gets used up and you cannot get a phone call out. I suggest text one person who is outside the affected area and have them rely your message to everyone else. If it doesn't go through then just retry sending a fresh message every half hour.
-A good first aid kit. add to a commercial kit (they never have every thing you need). Make sure to have enough bandages. I add a tube of zinc oxide cream (12% or stronger, its useful as a sunblock and is great at calming skin irritations. Imodium (loperamide HCI) in case of diarrhea and activated Charcoal (in case of other stomach or intestinal problem such as food poisoning),
-waterproof note pad (its specialized paper that doesn't fall apart and holds the pencil or ink without them running or smearing)
-Several zip lock backs in different sizes.
-Thin plastic poncho
-Space Sleeping Bag (keep you clean when you sleep on floors, you might find other things in the city to keep you warm but they might not be clean, this forms a protective layer and is very small, compact and lightweight.
-A small aluminum, high quality LED flashlight that runs on a single CR123 battery
-A few spare CR123 Lithium batteries
-A roll of coins inside a knotted sock. If people are still accepting money you should have as much small coins and small bulls as possible so you can pay a fair price for what you want. If all you carry are large bills then the price for anything you want will be at least one of those bills (no one will make change in disasters, I've seen it happen). For women, that roll of coins in the sock is easy to swing and be be used effectively as a self defense tool. Keep the sock where its easily accessible.
-Firesteel
-Lighter (the lighter will run out of fuel and could fail, the firesteel will last well beyond any disaster and is reliable).
-Chargers. I would add these last and I have included automotive adaptors so I can charge from any cars I find on my journey. In a true disaster the electrical grid will not be operating for hours or days so you will not be able to plug into the wall to get power. There are millions cars that you can plug into to get power. Be nice, don't break someone's windows to get inside their car for power unless you life is in jeopardy. Also be aware that many new cars turn off the power outlets when the engine is not running. Some of them leave one outlet on inside the armrest or glove box. Try them all until you find one that works, leave their car clean and close the door when you are done so the car stays intact.
-A change of clothing, socks and underwear. Preferable in due colors and patterns that does not stand out and that does not look tactical, so you're not noticed and not spotted as someone who is well equipped.
-A hat, floppy and lightweight is ok
-Sunglasses. Since presumably you will be walking a lot, the sunglasses could be a bog help. I carry at ;east two inexpensive pairs (that are rated to block 100% UVA and UVB) so in case I run into someone that wants to trade for something I need then to becomes currency for me.
NOTES:
-The "tactical" edge on a "tactical" flashlight is called a crenellated bezel. I don't bother with it because smashing car windows is far harder than it seems, you are more likely to slice your arm open if you are able to break it at all (there are plenty of videos on youtube of people failing to break a car window which using a hammer, so you can imagine that a lightweight, a soft aluminum flashlight is far less likely to work. If you want break glass then include a RESQME in your pack, its tiny, weighs next to nothing, and with a tiny amount of effort it can shatter even a toughened automotive window. Its very hard to stun a human with a lightweight aluminum flashlight even if it has a crenellated bezel, our skulls are very tough. You might be able to break the skin slightly and bleed a tiny amount but in a battle they probably won't realize it and won't be dissuaded from an attack. If you are going to hit them, use some with with a lot more weight than a 4 ounce flashlight and use all your strength to defend your life.
-Strobe modes for defense are BS. By the time that you realize that you need it you will not be able to stand there and get the flashlight into the correct mode. If you can get the flashlight on at all the just shine it into your opponents eyes as much as possible. This only works if you get a powerful light that is super easy to turn on (at least 100 lumens is available in a tiny light and it will be very blinding to your foe) and if
-CR123 Lithium batteries have a 10 year shelf life. I've tested them and they really do last that long and retain most of their charge. The problem with having rechargeable batteries in your get home bag is that they will very likely be dead (discharged) on any given day, which makes then useless. USB charging is nice but in a SHTF situation the electricity goes out and you can't recharge the batteries anyway. CR123 lithium batteries are extremely easy to find in all urban environments because they are the camcorder batteries that all tourists use, so they are very easy to find.
-18650 batteries are none because they have a lot of capacity but I don't cary them because it makes my flashlight twice as big and they take a very long time to charge. Since power will be hard to find, yo do not want to be exposed for the amount of time that it takes to recharge such a huge battery. A CR123 is not rechargeable, its always fully charged for its ten year lifespan so you just pop in a fresh battery and go, without being exposed. Two CR123 is the same size as one 18650 so they are more versatile. If your 18650 battery fails to take a charge or you can't find a power source then you cannot charge at all. The CR123 is so common that all grocery stores, pharmacies and tourist shops carry them. Its theoretically possible to use two CR123 inside a flashlight that was designed for a single 18650 but it depends on the flashlight, check the owners manual before attempting to do this.
-Women should take Krav Maga or Aikido lessons for self defense.
Do a video of this a share ;)
Sounds like you've been through the ringer Billy Bob good information thanks
Excellent ideas Lilly. Somethings you recommend I have in my EDC bag and some I will have to add. Thanks!
Hey Lilly great video. A consideration you should have for your urban bag is a mini pry bar. In a situation where you would be using the bag you will most likely need to pry something open sooner or later. Maybe a subway train door for example. You can also use it to dig. They can be bought at any hardware store normally.
For urban survival, you should always carry some money. Cash is king.
I have some silver coins also.
What would you want to buy?
Carry that instead.
That I can't deny.
Instead of carrying cash carry seeds tomato beans corn barley hops lettuce and Mary Jane. and those will be worth more than money or gold, silver, tungsten.
That's a nice selection of items. I keep a rain poncho in my bag that is large enough to wear over my backpack. Also have headlight for travel at night or in un-lighted stairwells so both hands stay free for self-defense.
Congratulations Lilly on 100,000 views ! The reason you have so many is your personality and outlook on the world , FUN !I have been enjoying your Vids for over a year and hope to see you break 1,000,00 ! Your urban kit looks well thought out and not too heavy . Great Vid !
A lot of tubers tend to go into extensive detail when describing their bags and other preps and I get bored pretty fast (not to mention, I'm usually at lunch from work, so I don't have a lot of time to watch videos).
But you kept it short, focused on the highlights and kept me interested. Excellent work! I may even buy some of the stuff on your list (I hope you're getting commissions!).
Have watched several of these videos tonight, and so far yours seems to be the most practical with what you would think to be common sense knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
Winter is well on it's way here in Alaska and time to get ready for my trap line. Thank you for confirmation on all my knowledge and training. Be truly blessed.
I have several different kits for different scenarios. I was an army ranger, so efficiency and necessity is what counts to me. I live in NYC so I have a 48hr urban kit , which I also take on vacation with me. It literally saved my life in Thailand during the 04 tsunami. You have a perfect setup. A few things I would change though. 1, get a bladder and loses the plastic bottle. It's more liquid, and takes up less space as well. Two, if you're going to have electronics, get a mini solar panel. They are awesome. 3, you only need 1 knife for urban. Lose the second blade. Ounces equal pounds. And last, add some garments. Change of Socks, rain gear etc. Electronics will be useless if they get wet.
I really enjoy all your videos. They're very informative and it just remind me of all the knowledge and information that's out there to help an individual. Keep up the good work and I'll be watching.
love how you have the minimal essentials at the ready and easily accessible like the pepper spray cam be belt attached if the need or situation arises as usual Lilly great thoughts and video
Nice vid Lilly thanks! Thought I might mention that the back pack also has straps around the body - which could be very useful if the zippers ever fail (and they often do on a back back!) good choice, and a very nice feature to have.
You are prepared Lilly!!! all good stuff!!! Wish you a great weekend, Taro
Some really good ideas that I haven't seen in other such videos. I can see that I have a few revisions I need to make to my day pack for getting back and forth to work. Something that I have considered are tactical flashlights that are also charged stun devices as a personal defense option.
Nice Lilly, great ideas for anyone from the most beginner to a real pro.
Lily, I've been watching your videos for around 2 years and I just wanted to say I'm very proud of you You're videos and skills keep gettig better and better. Keep up the great work. BTW you might want to add a men's shirt you can put on with the shemagh to better conceal your gender when need be.
Lilly, I am a US Marine, nurse, and a fellow survivalist, I carry a leatherman, a Smith and wesson folder, and use a bandanna instead of a full scarf, but a dark colored cap would be a great addition, or a windbreaker with a hood. I am also very conscious of my footgear and carry extra socks, and paracord. I am glad youre out there standing tuff! keep the faith, and carry on!
Awesome video, you never think that you could get stuck in an urban environment. I will need to make one of these just for extra peace of mind. Also -- as I life in snow country, a survival pack in the car in case you go off the road in a blizzard. Thank you Lilly for the ideas and your awesome videos. Did miss DAX in this one :-)
so grateful that I found your channel. Keep up the good work and thank you!
Nice kit Lily! For me I still try to carry the 5 C's in my urban kit...you never know when you have to detour off your get home route. Keep it light as time and distance will be your main enemy. Extra socks and a way to purify water is a must for me. More food rations is also recommended.
Klasse Video! Ich habe eine ähnliche Ausstattung in meinem EDC-Rucksack... Seit einigen Monaten habe ich ein SOL Escape Bivvi, das ich großartig finde. Unbedingte Empfehlung, wiegt nur etwa 250 gr. und ersetzt im Grunde einen Schlafsack bei über Null. Daher empfehle ich dieses Bivvi. Alles Gute!
Great choices on equipment I really like the shemagh and multi tool. I can't tell you how many beers I have opened for my buddies with that tool.
I would add a hardcopy map of the area in which you will have to travel through in order to get home. If your desired path is blocked for some reason then you can scout out another option on the map.
Very good information, as always. I really like the idea of a charger that can use the same battery as your flashlight. Thank you and be careful out there!
Just found your channel march 2019. Really like the content. I always recommend gloves, boots, and especially safety glasses. Protect your eyes. And the tools at the ends of your arms and legs.
Excellent urban pack, brilliant little phone charger 👌🏽
I always Cary a map though!
Keep up the good work Lilly. Be safe. ✌🏽️🐝
Glad that you addressed urban. Yeah, the self defense items should be more available than in the pack but glad that you included them. Another good idea; There are many inexpensive solar chargers for your electronics. Also, for serious urban survival, you may wish to include a small lock pick set. Or in a pinch (since you already have your Leatherman with narrow pliers) with a couple of standard paper clips, you can make a rake set to get through most simple locks. I hope you have a great day! ~ Forrest
Awesome kit Lilly! Thanks for showing us your stuff.
A really nice kit. I'd like to recommend a nice metal whistle to that list. In worst case scenarios, using a whistle is way more effective to be heard than shouting for help or to be found.
Great video! I would love to see more urban survival and EDC vids.
great job lilly theres some good gear there and looking great as always girl cheers
Superb video. explained in a very educated and patient manner. I really enjoyed it. bravo.
Great video. All the survival stuff is relatively new for me (I'm interested in it very recently) , so it was the first time I heard of the term "get home bag". I only knew bug out bags yet. Hm...I never really thought about it before, but to carry a few more useful things with me, like a pocketknife, an extra bottle of water or a first aid kit, really makes sense, not only to help myself, but in case to help others, too.
Love your channel :-)
Hey, Leatherman Wave. I have one of those, pretty handy. My favorite is the Gerber Diesel. I keep the Wave in one of my kits though. The Thrunite flashlights are excellent as well. :)
You might5 think about adding a four way spigot wrench and a collapsible baton.
David Harris aka a sillcock key. Opens urban water spigots
YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY KEEP THE PEPPER SPRAY ON YOUR HIP BELT AND KEEP THE KNIFE IN ONE OF YOUR JEAN POCKETS EASILY ACCESSIBLE AND A SMALL EXTERNAL POWER BANK FOR BOTH THE PHONE AND LIGHT
Really useful list! This probably wouldn't work in England (pepper spray and knives are generally illegal to carry here), BUT I can imagine if you go abroad somewhere and get lost all of this would come in handy for sure! Great video! :)
great presentation, thanks o much for all of the ideas!
Living within an hour walking distance from work, I never decided to set up a "get home bag" to be kept in the workplace. However, some of the stuff you shown, I also carry in my EDC backpack.
Nice kit Lilly and nicely done. Different people, different places but much the same things in our kits. Flashlight, water, snacks/nuts(and protein bars for me) a metal cup and a small stove for a firetab. I may need to boil my "found" water in my city. Multi-tool but no extra knife. Too much potential for police problems carrying it. Compass and a GI can opener.Gloves, leather in my case, and silk liners in the winter. Plastic tarp/poncho, a waterproof bucket style hat. A simple radio, am/fm. Fire starting stuff. A light down vest. My scenario is getting out of a high rise office in the city, down to the rivers edge and following it through a wonderfull wooded park system to my home about 8 miles aways. If I need to go further, a bigger pack is full and waiting there. My phone is always with me, though I don't think of it as a survival item. Enjoyed your video, like always. Take care.
Nice setup you have there. There are a couple of things you may want to consider adding. One is a larger water bottle, at least a liter, or more if it doesn't weigh you down too much. Another is something to wear when it rains, like one of those small emergency ponchos they make for emergency kits. Perhaps some cordage and an extra pair of socks, and you are set. Thanks for another great video.
I forgot to mention a small charging device for your phone. There are many out there, and some are quite small and portable. They allow you to get a full charge on your cell phone, without having to find a working power outlet.
Good job Lilly! Thanks for the insight into what you like to carry around town for surviving the urban jungle! Antiseptic.... great tip. Some extra cash stashed might come in handy too, just a thought. Cheers, Brett
Lilly...really like what you do!!!! If you need eye glasses and don't have them, try this...it works! I have done this. Make a blindfold that goes from temple to temple...duct tape folded onto itself so no adhesive is exposed, cut a wedge for your nose...string at each end to hold it onto your head. Put on the blindfold, determine the centre of each eye and mark. Remove the blindfold and make very small pinholes for each eye. Put the blindfold back on and your vision, while not 20/20 will be much improved. This would also be good for snow and sand storms. BTW, I make room in my survival kit for a small roll of duct tape.
Your point about blending in is a good idea. In some areas (college towns, etc.) army surplus is in fashion. In this area about 20% wear camo, use military packs.
Another benefit of a multi tool is the pliers. As a found object for self defense, they are quite useful and can break a hold easily. They can also make for a good impact weapon like a flash light. I have used them to get through car windows in a vehicle accident. if I am the least uncomfortable about an area in which I find myself, I put the multi tool in my hand. Personally, I prefer Gerber models, but Leatherman is fine too.
I've had a GHB in the trunk of my car for a few years now. Mine is a black dry bag backpack due to the extremely wet weather where I live. It's a bit more comprehensive as the place I drive to most often is rather far away, and much of the area is rural, however I like the scarf idea, and I'm going to definitely have to find myself one of those phone chargers. Thank you for the great ideas~
If I may be so bold Lilly. A head torch that allows both hands to be free and a space blanket might be of use. Thanks for the videos.
I think you have a good urban kit. If I may, I would suggest moving your pepper spray and flashlight to the side belt pockets. Those are the two "I need it now" items in your kit. If I were to add anything, it would be a small pry bar and an adjustable wrench. Those two things with your multi tool can get you out of a lot of jams. Thanks for all your videos. I'm a new fan.
Living in Arizona, I estimate that potable water is perhaps a greater concern than it may be in Austria. Included in my urban get-home pack or EDC is a silcock key (also called a silcock wrench). This small tool would facilitate acquiring water from various sources during a shift scenario, such as office buildings, restaurants & other commercial structures. There are a number of videos online that demonstrate use in these situations. Your videos are superb, & you are an intelligent, talented woman. (Of course, you already know that.) You have a great sense of humour as well. Best regards, Lilly!
SAD TO SAY, many people have little or no "emergency items" in their cars. I had to practically force my own sons to start carrying the basic "road trouble" gear - jumper cables, tool kit, first aid kit, flashlight/lantern. Lilly's backpack wouldn't take up much space in her car, or even on her back when she bikes. People are too fashion conscious - worrying they won't look "cool" or "sexy" because they carry something besides a little sequined purse.
That is a great looking kit you have and everything you have comes in handy in an urban environment. I use to carry a knife with me while living in San Bernardino, California and after being assaulted by two young men one night when I wasn't carrying it I decided to wear it all the time when walking to the military base.
A good old paper map and a compass can also be useful. In case of major incidents, the mobile-phone network can be down (accidentally or on purpose to avoid panic). In case of extreme survival situations (war), GPS network might be shut down for civilian applications by US army. So mobile-phone (and even GPS) will become useless for navigation. You’ll always manage to navigate with a map and a compass.
great vid, i carry a lot less but love my deuter speedlite 20, best backpack i have ever owned used daily and ultra light. i always have a small pack of baby wipes, and small power bank bar, sunglasses, gas jet flame lighter or peanut lighter, and a hank of cord.
Good little kit. Thanks for sharing.
Very Good Lilly, Enjoyed this video.
Stay Safe & God Bless
Savvas
Hey Lilly, thanks for the video. In the core of your bag I'd add some paracord. Like 30 meters and a picklocking set.
Mit den Dingen die du da im Rucksack mit dir führst bist du bestens gerüstet. Schönen Sonntag noch. LG Carlos
Yay Lilly and I use the same multi tool! Interesting though I never saw a black one before!
Awesome video Lilly!
I really appreciate your sensible approach to survival, Lilly! There was nothing in your kit I disagree with or would add to. Except I might add a small pry-bar in case I needed to pry open a door or a wooden crate or whatever. Also, I think a snake bite kit is a good thing to have, even in urban areas. Snakes live under porches and sheds and other dark places where there is little or no human traffic. But perhaps snakes aren't't an issue in Europe, but here in the U.S., and especially here in Florida, they are a problem. Along with gators, crockodiles (yeah, we have those now, too), wild boar, poisonous spiders, etc, etc.........
Anyways, keep up the great work and keep your videos coming! You are an inspiration!
The bug out vids are the best, so if you can find time to do another one, that would be awsome!
This is a great video - I don't own a leatherman, as I never really saw the need. But I get that urban situations require different tool sets.
You mentioned possibly running. In that case I would suggest something to secure your eyewear, like some croakies. Or a pair of more secure eyewear like the old-school glasses that wrap around your ears. My brother wears glasses and he would be darn near helpless without them.
I like your Video's Lilly , you inspire me and others to get out in the bush . In Canada there is lots of bush
I like your urban survival kit. Also you can find flexible solar panels with USB and battery charging capabilities. If you could squeeze one of those in your ruck sack that would be cool. They have some on Amazon.
Great list, thanks for the video
Thanks for all the great ideas for a rookie like me. I am almost prepared for anything.
Good video and tips. Though I wouldn't concern myself with it a folding knife looking more aggressive than a multitool during a shtf situation, nor a tactical bag vs hiking. The key is to have what you need to get home quickly and safely. Again, thanks for posting.
very nice lilly! my setup is similar but i dont have any food and water. i should add them
Good video Lilly. Thumbs up. What type Leatherman is that again? I have one that's at least 20 yrs old and I see they have changed somewhat. Wait--I checked your list--the 'wave'. Good deal.
My favorite survival weapon is any of my 1911 .45 ACP's!! Just something about being able to present one of John Browning's force multipliers to an unfriendly!
So...you're from the US, aren't you...?
yes
Good stuff Lilly!
Nice kit all items are worthy. That pack is very inconspicuous and looks like a normal everyday backpack. My biggest problem with a bigger bag or backpack is that I keep loading it until it is full of everything and then it is 58 lbs. Then I am a human pack horse. Thanks for sharing.
Nice Urban bag. Stay safe Lilly
That's a great urban suvival kit Lilly, you have all of the essentials. One modification I'd suggest is having your Tactical Flashlight in one of the pack's belt pouches or on your waist belt for rapid access.
I live near 2 bridges where homeless/mentally ill people live in the summer; one day a babbling schizophrenic started following me...I changed my relaxed walking style into an agressive posture and reached into my front pants pocket for my Fenix LD22 Light. After a few seconds he turned in the opposite direction...ease of access to your weapon is essential in an urban environment.
Very helpful. Thank you for the video!
My bag includes large size wool sweater, Smartwool socks, chemical hand warmers, Frogg Toggs rain pants and jacket, some duct tape, small first aid/ medications kit, Streamlight pen type flashlight. Usually I have a knife, cash, pen and pad in my purse. oh, and my Kindle reader! Nice to have some books if stuck somewhere.
Vielen Dank für den Tipp mit dem U1 Charger - die Handyladung funktioniert echt super! Bei den anderen Marken habe ich kein Mini-Ladegerät mit dieser Funktion gefunden.
LG Stefan
I think a space blanket might be handy in your kit warmth is pretty important
Love it as allways, cheers Lilly
Great video thanks for showing us
May I recommend a kubaton of sorts. cold steel sd2 or any old pocket stick. nice setup on your bag as well
Nice video I heard that it's best to keep your oc spray on pack or hip because dogs or people won't pause an attack to give you time to look through your bag for spray
Hayyyyyy Lilly, I enjoy your video's a lot myself but I must compliment you on getting my wife so interested and involved in camping and outdoor activities. I am 73 and the wife is 58 years old so we are a bit of car campers and not much able to do a lot of hiking but never the less, we are well prepared and equipped for camping, fishing, and self defense with a lot of fire arms experience and love the outdoors, in part, thanks to your own personal videos.
cool, say hey to your wife :)
good set up, ... i'd advise maybe another bottle of water and a small blanket (such as a poncho liner) ... there may be more shelter in urban area's but often no heating.
Nice setup. That would work great here in the USA as well. I really admire your outdoor skills. It is nice to see a woman enjoying the outdoors without a man dragging them out.
Simple and effective. We'll put together. Hehe when you said you were into concealed carry I expected a firearm. I get the difference in laws and you are popular everywhere in the world. Thanks! And I've taken to watching your ads. Good luck making a go of this.
Great choice for your blade, I love Sypderco...the Tenacious is a great knife and great price as well!
Get a wind up dynamo style charger and a Tuff case for the phone and this set up is nigh on perfect Lilly.Good work as everGuru M
Keep the Spyderco knife and Pepper Spray on your person if you have to fight your way out of an attack.Reposition those 2 items out of the rucksack if things get bad.Keep the rst attached to you if you have to run but have those 2 things with you on hand if you have to fight.
I'd add a Silcock water key that works on building faucets with no knob for emergency water access. Rest was great. Of course, I'd be carrying a firearm concealed as well but that's not for everyone every where.
Nice vid! But You should carry one more pepper spray (Saber Red 20ml, I use this), somewhere easy to reach. And a second flashligt.
