I harp on this often in comments, but I think it bears repeating. I've learned never to head out without some kind of shelter, even if it's just a large garbage bag. This was hammered home last weekend. My wife and I were hiking in the mountains north of here with pretty steep stretches. It was 96 degrees, and blazing sun with little breeze. Unfortunately my wife developed heat exhaustion, which really bordered on heat stroke. We had plenty of water, but there was no significant shade anywhere. Fortunately, I had my large garbage bag and some cordage and was able to rig a small area of shade. I also had a small length of closed-cell foam, and she laid down on that to avoid the hot ground. I was able to hike back to the car, drive to an area close to her, and retrieve her to air-conditioned safety. So don't forget your quick shady shelter-making material.
Way better and more thoroughly thought out than the videos you see with expensive bags and all expensive items. It's what is needed, there are no frills where they aren't needed, and the cost is concentrated in areas where it matters. It's everything you'd need, in a tiny package. Which is the entire point, really. I watched 30 other videos before this and this is the gem.
Sorry if I dont answer your comments. UA-cams new comment configuration is retarded. It wont let me answer a lot of you. Its the most useless update thats ever come across youtube!
I see a lot of bobs with antibiotic ointment but i have yet to see any with pills as part of their first aid. It strikes me that a bottle of aquarium cleaning amoxicillin would be more than worth its weight in gold for barter and survival.
I love watching these videos, for a beginner like me I watch as many as I can and pick and choose which supplies would work for me. Everyone has an idea of what a survival bag should be. My thinking is the more you learn and watch others the better you can modify your own. Great video, keep up the good work
rybones1311 Thank you. I have another one coming out soon. I just havent found the time to do the vid. But a lot of my stuff is upgraded into more efficient gear. Thanks for watching.
Great video! Very informative and unlike the bulk of similar videos floating around, I appreciate the fact that you don't repeat yourself over and over. Unlike another comment, I found that you spoke quite clearly and you were easy to understand. I will take what you've shared and adapt it for the urban jungle! Many thanks!
Interesting stuff you got with you, I like the food parts! Camping for a long period of time, u can get small cuts on your hands and fingers, but its not a big deal if you're just camping for 2 days. But for a week+, some durable gloves that u use when gathering wood, starting fires etc. are great.
LJ, your BOB is extremely well thought out and logical. Very well put together! It looks like all the priority items are easily accessible. More importantly, you speak from experience, which a lot of guys on UA-cam DON'T! I love the narrow profile of your bag! I've been researching various GPS models to buy, and I like your description of the important features of your Garmin. I'm looking forward to watching another video of a more detailed demonstration of your Garmin. Thanks for a very professional and informative video.
Your forgetting one of the most important items of all! Socks. If your hiking, or fishing, you step in water. No problem, then you pull out a pair of fresh wool socks. The military teaches you to always change and have a extra pair of socks
Nice loadout, put a few grains of dry rice into your salt shaker, it will keep it from sticking together and clumping. Thats what we do here in hawaii where its so humid. Aloha!
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover survival kit try Franaar Spies Control Formula (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my brother in law got cool success with it.
Excellent Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Eliamaan Crisis Genie (google it)? It is a good one of a kind guide for conquering the coming collapse minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 at last got excellent success with it.
Love how you have actually used your items. Most videos people have show all brand new items. I would bank on most of the people don't know how to use the items they have. Great Video!
If I may make a suggestion? In my survival bags I use plastic soda/malted straws filled with various items. They are small, take up very little room and you can fit them into just about any narrow space in your bag(s). Simple technique: Use needle nose pliers to squeeze together one end of straw with about 1/8" protruding outside pliers jaws, take a match, lighter or candle to melt the 1/8" end of straw then slide pliers quickly onto melted end and squeeze for about 10-20 seconds, this will seal that end. Fill straw with desired items then repeat process to seal open end. Practice with some small diameter soda straws until you get it down good. As an example of items for straws: Spaghetti, rice, salt, pepper, spices, matches and striker, fishing line and small hooks, cotton balls soaked in vasoline (for fire starter). Use your imagination! Great video, gave me some additional ideas for my bug out bags...Thanks
Great video, I absolutely loved it. One word of caution to all of you guys, like me, that have to take prescription meds: If you keep the go-bag in your vehicle, and if you get stopped by law enforcement, and IF you give them a reason to decide to go through your bag, you can get cited (or worse depending on the medication) for carrying the pills in anything other than the original bottle with your name and prescribing info on it. Same goes when you fly. If you keep your pills in those little compartmentalized containers with the days of the week on the lid, they can bust you for the same reason: no name, no doctor, no pill information, no fly. Don't toss your empty prescription bottles, leave a few tabs in them and keep them for emergencies.
First off, love the review. Couple things I can think to add though that i keep in my bag. 1) wire saw. The kind that looks like a chainsaw chain. Works great and it's handy when needing some thick branches 2) I keep a ramen or some other type of dehydrated soup in my bag. Doesn't offer much in the way of nutrition or protein but it's a nice warm meal. 3) I have all the contents of my bag inventoried on a piece of paper. Has info on what, how much, exp date, and what pocket the item is located in. It's handy if there is an emergency and someone else has to access the contents of your bag for you or when you are updating the contents, you can look at the expiration date without having to dig through it all.
Great! Some items to add IMO: Any type of head cover/proteccion, a pair of working gloves, a pair of shocks, sunglasses and a working knife (flashlight?). 73, 51
Montana! I am slightly jealous. I live, breathe and will be buried in Texas, but the weather alone will help to keep the riff raff out of your state. Thank you for doing the video. I am purchasing the bag due to your video. I need a vehicle bag for the Jeep and this fit the bill. Thanks again Brother and God Bless!
hey man, this is a great pack. Think you did really well. I recently bought a multikey for water- elevator-, gas-, metrodoors etc. Feel that is very helpful for me. Also I always get fresh cloveoil in in case of toothaches. Some things you just can do without in an emergencysituation. Well done, and a very pleasant voice to listen to as well. Many videos sound so sensational and hyper, and you come across very calm, balanced and smart. That is a big plus I think for the purpose of this bag. Thanks bro!
Great pack!!! It’s more a camping in comfort pack than a bug out bag, but you have at least enough food and supplies for two or three people, with the ability to add to it with fish and game on the run. Thank you for sharing your insights.
This was the best - and I mean THE BEST - EDC/Bugout Bag video that I've ever seen! Well done, Sir! Thanks to this video, I ordered many of the items you enumerated. I'm sad to see that you haven't done any recent videos, but those that you did do ARE great. How about an EDC update? (Thanks in advance if you choose to do one.)
Legend'sJourney You really should do some more videos. I've enjoyed watching your vids and I like your presentation of your bag video for sure. Maybe a cool video about stuff you carry in your vehicle would be cool. Thanks!!
@@LegendSexy I wouldn't mind having a peek at your arsenal if you do more videos, as well as your main, long term B.O.B and it's contents. My rucks of choice are the U.S.M.C. ILBE with assault pack attached and LAPG Atlas 72, making full use of all the MOLLE and very specific gear loads for both ( it's a big list that I adjust based on ruck ). For all that ragged on you for forgetting you had that derringer, they must not carry/shoot a lot or own a lot of guns, because it's very easy to forget you brought that extra gun ( especially something like a derringer). I have more than once. Even had to talk a cop into believing me that I wasn't lying when he searched my truck after I told him I wasn't carrying, but I'm licensed to. I honestly forgot that I had a .357 Magnum S&W snubbie revolver in my console because I stayed at a friend's house that weekend for some partying and shooting a variety of guns. If not for my permit, I hate to think what might have happened ;)
I'm thankful UA-cam set you in my path today. I'm very appreciative of all the thought and work that went into your bag. I'm actually looking into ham radio at the moment so maybe we'll chat some day. I have many different and unique items I have in my bag and I'm sure we would click well for idea swapping :)
Could you put together a PDF of what you carry in your bag. I would call it a EDC bag since I carry mine every where I go. I simply remove weapons/tools when I enter a restricted area, I carry a extra locking bag that these items go in to be given to security or just hide them within the bag if there in no security/metal detector. I also carry a small homemade light weight stove within a pot.
Great bag/kit. Looks very mobile, compact and light weight compared to some others that Ive seen that are overloaded, WAY OVER redundant and weighing in at 45-50 lbs. Packs like this are almost perfect, being able to carry it comfortably for long distances if nessesary. I agree with you in that I like watching others videos too on how and what they pack/use, its facinating! My BOB is fairly new and a constant work in progress, and not even close to being complete. Thanks, and I subbed!
Great video. Well thought out bag. Finally someone that is' carrying 10 knives in their pack. It looks nice and light weight so you would carry it rather than leave it.
My shemagh is so vital in my kit! when I go out hiking, it covers my mouth and nose from dust and flies! also been used as a tourniquet as that was all I had to hand when my friend cut his leg open!
You forgetting the personal care or personal hygiene! Tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, maybe dry soap. You can uses like shampoo too. Some alcohol or betadine. Thanks for sharing your preparation!
Nice video but you should add a good amount of paracord to make shelter with the tarp, bushcraft knife, several small pocket knives or Swiss Army knife of your choice a small crank radio with light solar panel and USB port for charging batteries and also a small solar panel for charging. There is another battery charger that’s fairly new to market that produces electricity from your campfire. One more thing... a small axe head. I am only mentioning these things because your kit is already so good and you don’t fear spending money on good equipment so make your kit perfect with these items. I would put all the food in a separate mollie pouch and attach/detect when needed. I also am assuming that you have a compact survival rifle. Ha, I wrote this comment before watching the last few minutes. Nicely done man. Subscribed
Out of all the bug out bag videos I have watched you have the first one where I have seen some talk about putting nailclippers in their bag. I've always thought those were crucial. I have a set in my bag, but I've never seen anyone else talk about it. Anyway, you gave me some good ideas for my own bag. Two things I know I need to add now are quick clot and a metal spork. Thank you very much, man.
At the beginning of this video i have to say i doubted you haha, but throughout the vid you proved yourself in my eyes. you seem like you have some very good opinions and are very seasoned. i took away some good ideas from this vid, thanks.
I've watched a million of these videos, and you are by far the closest to my own setup. Thanks for the informative video! I lived outside of Clark Fork ID for 2 years so I know your area a bit. I just bought a HAM and would love to hear back from you about getting my license and how to get started. thanks man! keep up the great work!
Excellent Introduction,,, is actually interesting how a Prepping Bag Evolve, the more we go out and practice, the more we need to change things around Different Priorities,,, many people overlook simple things like chopsticks, with over one hundred uses, and fits in any Prepping Bag, , , My Bag Today is a Totally different animal from what it was Twenty Years ago, , ,
This is like a BOB for rich folks. Shit, you've over a grand in TWO ITEMS (binoculars and the Magnum Pug pistol). Must be nice but don't know how many people can relate to this.
Well done. My get home bag is 22 pounds, the bare minimum, like you, travel light, travel fast. If I have 15 minutes to reinforce it out of what I keep in my truck, could last a month with about 40 pounds of gear, total. However, my bag is grab and go, if I only have reaction time to prepare. One thing I would add, have 3 different water filtration systems. Water is key, above everything else. I see so many zombie apocalypse videos where they have 4 firearms and a gazillion rounds of ammo, that weighs 150 pounds, and zero water filtration kits. My firearm loadout, like you, is a Glock 26 with one 10 round mag, and 2 33 round mags, plus a Ruger 10-22 takedown, and 200 rounds in loaded 25 round mags, if I have the option to grab it on the way out of the door. I am more than likely to leave the 10-22, because it is a lot of weight, if I'm going to expend the calories to carry that much weight, would be better served to carry an additional dozen water bottles. Another thing I have in my bag you don't, is an unopened bag of 6 pairs of clean wool socks, and an unopened bag of 6 pairs of clean underwear, and 3 boxes of diaper wipes, and 6 rolls of toilet paper. We don't always have the time nor environment to properly clean ourselves, and we are so spoiled in this day and age we are used to daily showers and ceramic thrones, to do our business. Not so, in the zombie apocalypse.
Love that food is a major component in your bag. Most people think that they will survive just with gadgets and 50 ways to start a fire and 50 yards of cordage. Water and food..
Good job man! You did a great job of covering the necessities. Honey was something I had never considered. Collapsible rain jacket or at least a big garbage sack is good to have.
Great idea with the honey. Another thing about it is that it NEVER goes bad. Ever. So you don't need to worry about replacing it. It will crystallize, but that doesn't mean its inedible, its just in a different state.
great video ... lots of useful stuff... I would add about 3 waist size of cordage with 3 key rings with any trash bag, S.U blanket or rain poncho ready to go for quick deploying in rain/ colder areas. Wrap around ones waist to trap air inside your core and use the other 2 for arms(bags). For the S.U blanket tie over the shoulders and around the waist.( cover the head if needed). You have instant space to put extra insulation while not letting cold winds get underneath you. Simple and low weight option to save time vs the elements.
Actually with a tiny backup gun like that it's easier to do than you might think. Actually read an article about a guy leaving a Seecamp in his bag after cleaning it out. His wife grabbed the bag and put stuff in for a weekend trip. But TSA found it, only because the husband was LEO was he able to convince them that there was no desire to break the law just a mistake. But woe to us if we make the same mistake. I would choose the minimaster 4" (really wished they made a 6") barrel with the folding grip and a box of shells with a few shot shells for snake medicine. You probably loose alot of velocity with only a 1" barrel. Plus a Cold Steel Spetsnaz shovel, larger knife and folding saw. Would also upgrade 9mm Glock to 10mm for use against large predators.
@@kirkchartier7141 Glock is the mostly widely used pistol across the planet. 10mm is a better round in terms of power, but let me think of how many of my gun-owning buddies have a 10mm..... Hmm ZERO. It's not a common round and what do you do when you expend your ammo on hand? 9mm is a NATO round and used all across the planet. Also advances in power and in bullets make 9mm more formidable than when I carried an M9 with ball ammo. Like uncommon calibers, proprietary or uncommon firearms in my opinion are a no-go. Violates the "Rule of Commonality" (It's my own rule, but it makes sense) Also this could be a self-defense weapon, not sure I want to be limited to 5 .22 magnum rounds.
@@robertthetexan8537 9mm with proper ammo can be good versus 2 legged predators and medium sized dogs. But the commonality argument means that the most likely ammo you're going to find is ball, And while ball has always been and always will be a pathetic man stopper (unless you hit brain or spine above shoulders or riddle them with lots of hits) in the 90's the military switched to 9mm and the FBI dubbed it the wonder super caliber of the future (the hype) yet time after time on the street the (if they didn't expand or brain hit) they were pathetic stoppers requiring magazines full. The best stoppers were the +p+ loads out of a full sized barrel pushing the bullets to .357 magnum velocities which caused the lead to be very malleable. The FBI Miami shootout caused the FBI to dump the 9mm in favor of the 10mm. But lots of the agents couldn't handle the power of the 10mm so they downloaded it, and S&W chopped the excess case and the 40 S&W was born.
@@robertthetexan8537 part 2 the 10mm is almost exactly where the 41 magnum was supposed to be halfway between 357 mag and 44 mag and will handle all but the largest predators (bear, boar, gator and etc.) which will need more penetration due to the more horizontal frame. Also is better against vehicles which is why the KSP (KY State Police)used it for a number of years. While it is a little over kill against humans (kind of like the 20 gage vs 12 gage) it can fill both roles well. While shooting a bear or boar with a 9mm you are just going to tick it off. If you want to use 9mm ball then it is advisable (and wise) to run it out of a longer barrel with a stock (smg sized or carbine sized) for added velocity and accuracy for head shots. The 22 is for small game hunting and for sound signaling better and louder than any whistle and carry a couple hundred rounds without a significant weight increase.
Another fantastic video, with great ideas, Thank You Sir. I'm always amazed at all the things people can get into their various named bags. At this point I am halfway through building my larger "Go/Buggout" bag that stays in a foot locker by the front door and decided that I'm going to build a smaller EDC bag that will stay in my Truck. Every time I find one of these vids I have Amazon (my best friend) loaded on the next tab over. Again, Thank you sir.
Thanks for sharing this awesome video. Your setup is second to none and obviously you put a lot of thought into it. Look forward to watching many more of your videos..

I normally don't like sling bags due to them sliding up towards your head whenever you bend forward to pick up anything. However, I've decided to give one a try but it's an inexpensive one so if it doesn't work for me, no big loss. Surprisingly it's a nice looking tactical bag in OD green. Walmart sells it in green and in black. I didn't like the black in that it was hard to see the interior of the bag in low light conditions. The price is just under $28 and for the price it is well constructed and seems durable. I worked on a load out for it so that I can use it for a simple overnight trip to do some reconnaissance, scouting areas for possible campsites. The load out weighs 10.18 pounds minus water in the 24 ounce insulated bottle. The Sawyer mini kit will help to replenish water supply. My sleep system includes a double sized hammock, straps, military poncho for shelter and a Bearhard Bivy Sack. The cooking kit is an alcohol stove, 8 oz Vargo bottle of fuel, a 550 ml titanium cup with lid plus six Trioxane tabs for back up or to initiate a camp fire and a UCO spork. Other gear includes a high lumen headlamp, red lights. spare AAA batteries, folding blade, full tang neck knife, IFAK, #36 bank line, three lighters (two Bic's and a Croc's), a Casio watch with compass, barometer and elevation sensors. I just added a digital camo phone case (molle capable) for my cell phone and a charger. On my person I'll carry my wallet, keys and CCW. I'm shopping for a hand held Ham radio like your Yaesu and will work on acquisition of a license.
There are many expressions used by the SEAL Teams to include: Pack light, freeze at night. Two is one, one is none. Light and nimble is good if you're doing a landnav contest or out for a day hike, but if you are no kidding trying to survive what you have with you or don't have with you is amplified 100%.
+petnzme01 I've allready wrote it somewhere - there are three reasons having a gun in EDC - you are policeman, a contract killer or an idiot. This guy has three guns.
@Food For Thought Here are some facts for chewing. From the site you cited, the findings from Law Street: 10. Indianapolis, Indiana Although Indiana is a republican state, the present mayor of Indianapolis is a democrat, but was proceeded by a republican mayor which saw a 2% increase in crime rate during his term. To be fair (which is a four letter word to conservatives), the ways crimes are reported changed which does not make for a valid comparison to other years. 9. Stockton, California People I talk to that have lived in California insist California is a conservative state, but the governor has been democratic since 1992. Stockton does have a democratic mayor now, but the previous mayor was republican. which saw a 10% increase in crime rate while he was mayor. 8. Cleveland, Ohio Ohio has had a republican governor since 2011. Present and former mayor of Stockton though has been a democratic. 7. Baltimore, Maryland Although on the list, Baltimore had eight years of decreasing crime rates, of which from 2010 to 2016 there was a democratic mayor. 6. Milwaukee, Wisconsin Has had a democratic mayor during the time the rates were compiled, but rapes remained flat and the number of murders decreased by 13%, there was an increase in robberies and aggravated assaults. Perhaps just as sad, Milwaukee ranks only behind Detroit in being poor. 5. Birmingham, Alabama Although Alabama is overwhelmingly a republican state, Birmingham had a democratic mayor during which the crimes used for the report were collected, although there was a decrease in murders in 2014. 4. St. Louis, Missouri Although the present governor of Missouri is a republican, the former mayor was a democrat. St. Louis is overwhelmingly democratic. Although there was a decrease in reported rapes, murders rose quite a bit. 3. Oakland, California Mayor was democrat, and saw a decrease in violent crimes. 2. Memphis, Tennessee Democrat. Memphis is also among the poorest cities in the U.S.A. 1. Detroit, Michigan Democrat. So, 8 of 10 of the most violent cities mayors were democrat when these rates were reported, with 3 of these seeing a decrease in violent crimes. From Law Street again, 10 most violent states {www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/03/americas-most-dangerous-states_n_5639194.html}, party dominance in 2016: 10. Oklahoma - republican 9. Maryland - democratic 8. Florida - republican 7. Louisiana - republican 6. Delaware - democratic 5. South Carolina - republican 4. New Mexico - democratic 3. Alaska - republican 2. Nevada - democrat 1. Tennessee -republican Uuuuoooo, republicans just edge out, 6 to 4. Gun murder rates, top 10 (2010), political party (2016): 1. D.C. - n/a 2. Louisiana - republican 3. Missouri - republican 4. Maryland -democratic 5. South Carolina -republican 6. Delaware - democratic 7. Michigan - republican 8. Mississippi - republican 9. Georgia - republican 10. Arizona - republican And the republicans have it. Harsh gun laws would be subjective.
An amazing kit. My only addition would be a compact pocket radio for checking news bulletins or instructions during a disaster. There are plenty of solar and hand crank models out there but I prefer the old Grundig Mini 300 World Band Receiver. No weather channels, but most local stations provide that service.
Awesome. I have supplies in my vehicles, then this bag, then a larger bag, and a box I can throw in my vehicle in a moments notice. I never plan to leave in an emergency but I love having the option.
LegendSexy I am with you regarding bugging-in. Bugging out is a very last resort... I am not to far from you here in eastern WA. One concern for us could be the Hanford Nuclear power plant since its not to far from here. If there was an incident I may have to bug out. As you said the option is there....
I enjoyed this tremendously. So many decisions and answered many of my questions. Please keep up the good work. I know a few might have felt this was slow a bit but as a newbie to a lot this; but your video here has allowed me to take notes and not lose pace. Thank you and be blessed
Wow... This was a really interesting video... I have only recently been interested in prepping for emergencies, so I have only picked up a ready made bag, and added a few items to it... This video really got me thinking about what I "Should" be carrying... Not, just what someone else thought I should have... Great vid!
You made me watch the whole video. The way you did it held my attention. You would be a good instructor. I give you a thumbs up and I subsribed. Looking forward to more videos from you. Thanks.
I doubt you will read this but I figure it's worth a shot. Your video on the hazard 4 inspired me to rethink my 75LB survival bag. I split it up into 2 bags now after watching this. And ordered and used the hazard 4 because of this video. I wanted mainly to suggest that you take a look into the CSFB-1 and Tactical Revolution quiver by primal gear. It's a perfect molle fit on the side and a grand total of like 5 lbs. looks and feels like a match made in heaven. guns last as long as bullets do. Compact bow and arrow set is priceless.
I was watching on my AppleTV and had to reload on my phone to reply. Great video and great pack setup. Rarely do I find someone that I identify with on a pack setup. Once again, excellent job and this video should help so many. Tim - Newburgh, IN
I hope to see another video from you. It's tiring to see so many videos where people are pushing the latest gear instead of passing on their knowledge from experience.
I would add 4 - 55 gal. 3 mil garbage bags and 10 large heavy duty rubber bands. 20' of police tape to signal location for emergency help. Shelter, rain gear, water collection, solar still, and emergency flotation! Then aluminum foil I would change to the heavy duty non-stick about 10 foot. For a reflector to heat your shelter, cooking, solar furnace. Add steri strips or butterflies to your first aid kit, and a small bttl. or individual skin prep pads - of tincture of benzoin (prep skin for butterfly /steri - strips for closure of simple cuts making them hold better even when wet.).

Wow, you carry a lot more than I do.My view on a get home bags is exactly that, something you keep in vehicle and just use to get back to your house if your vehicle conks out and it's a mass riot or something dangerous. I just carry ( everywhere, and I do have a CCW permit ) a compact .40 caliber ( usually in a belly-band holster with loops for 2 extra, high capacity mags. Pistol, when carrying a .40 caliber, is normally a Glock 23 or Sig Saur P229, loaded with 180 grain Hydra Shoks and 2 extra 12 [Sig Saur] or 13 [Glock] round mags, so 37-40 rounds with a round in the chamber. Even tho I would be mostly sticking to woods and avoiding people to get home in a major civil unrest scenario, the cops around here carry Smith and Wesson M&P .40's, so I would carry a .40 for easy replenishment of ammo even if my normal CCW wasn't already .40 and/or .45 ACP) and a spring assisted Gerber or Kershaw tactical folding knife clipped to my right pocket, a little O Light LED flashlight on my key ring, and my prescription meds ( in the pharmacy bottles, Roxicodone 30mg tablets for chronic pain, Xanax 2mg tablets for panic disorder) also in my pockets, as well as a couple of Bic lighters even tho I mostly vape now. If, for some reason, I'm on foot making it home, I keep in vehicle a couple bottles of water, area map in glove box, a Helikon Tex E&E pouch I can easily clip to my belt. It normally contains : Gerber deluxe multi-tool, an extra bandanna ( I'm normally wearing a bandanna as well ), a Glock knife that looks kinda like a slender KA BAR ( I'm sure you've seen them ), another, bigger LED flashlight, a pen can of WD-40, some duct tape and electrical tape, a tube of super glue ( the liquid skin they use in hospitals is basically super glue ), a bottle of Kwik Stop ( I was a Licensed Veterinary Technician for years and it's a hemostatic powder we used that's basically the same as Quick Clot but cheaper), a bag with a couple of scalpel blades ( especially #10 and #11 type blades) and packs of suture material ( nylon and monocryl, we seem to think alike on a lot of stuff and it's all readily available on Veterinary supply websites like Cal Vet Supply ), tube of Bacitracin, a small bottle of Purell, a hank of paracord, Lifestraw, a double barrel derringer that chambers .45 Colt Revolver and .410 shotgun rounds, a couple of military grade chem lights, match vault with some military survival matches, a little, 10 slot military blasting cap box with 5 .45 Colt JHP's and 5 .410 shotgun .00 Buckshot rounds, a bag with a few gauze pads ( for bleeding and blisters ), Epi-Pen ( I live in the South and I'm highly allergic to wasps and hornets, of which there is a big abundance here ) and that's about it. Oh yeah, also a "cheap but it works" compass ( because I'm not bringing my expensive, tritium, Cammenga, military compass unless it's a societal collapse bugout) and I wear a watch ( analog, with hands, so it can be used as a compass as long as the sun is shining. It's Smith and Wesson military type, so good ), a set of Machanix gloves are in my glove box and would be in my pocket if needed to hoof, the same tweezers you have with the same tips and white sheath (because we have lots of Black Berry bushes, Devil's Walking Sticks, thistles, nettles and prickers ), and that's my simple get home kit. BTW, I really like the organizational skills. I'm the same way, I like to know right where everything is so I don't sit and dig for it when I need something right now. I'm very impressed and I pack my rucks and MOLLE pouches the same way :) BTW, those TP dealies are called toilet paper tablets and they are in my kit as well ( I thought they were a joke when I first heard of them. You don't even have to immerse them in water, you can dampen them and they're really great )
I harp on this often in comments, but I think it bears repeating. I've learned never to head out without some kind of shelter, even if it's just a large garbage bag. This was hammered home last weekend. My wife and I were hiking in the mountains north of here with pretty steep stretches. It was 96 degrees, and blazing sun with little breeze. Unfortunately my wife developed heat exhaustion, which really bordered on heat stroke. We had plenty of water, but there was no significant shade anywhere. Fortunately, I had my large garbage bag and some cordage and was able to rig a small area of shade. I also had a small length of closed-cell foam, and she laid down on that to avoid the hot ground. I was able to hike back to the car, drive to an area close to her, and retrieve her to air-conditioned safety. So don't forget your quick shady shelter-making material.
Way better and more thoroughly thought out than the videos you see with expensive bags and all expensive items. It's what is needed, there are no frills where they aren't needed, and the cost is concentrated in areas where it matters. It's everything you'd need, in a tiny package. Which is the entire point, really. I watched 30 other videos before this and this is the gem.
Sorry if I dont answer your comments. UA-cams new comment configuration is retarded. It wont let me answer a lot of you. Its the most useless update thats ever come across youtube!
Goo video
I love that you use this most people just kinda have it lying around
I see a lot of bobs with antibiotic ointment but i have yet to see any with pills as part of their first aid. It strikes me that a bottle of aquarium cleaning amoxicillin would be more than worth its weight in gold for barter and survival.
Scott Covington Think about that all the time.
You have a lots of good stuf butt you dont have a knife
I love watching these videos, for a beginner like me I watch as many as I can and pick and choose which supplies would work for me. Everyone has an idea of what a survival bag should be. My thinking is the more you learn and watch others the better you can modify your own. Great video, keep up the good work
I agree. Thanks for watching.
I keep coming back to this video to get ideas for my own bag. This is so well thought out, and organized.
rybones1311 Thank you. I have another one coming out soon. I just havent found the time to do the vid. But a lot of my stuff is upgraded into more efficient gear. Thanks for watching.
so do i, & i keep getting great ideas every time i watch this vid that i have made a to buy list on amazon. this is a great vid.
you're a master of tidiness! It's crazy how much you can fit in that small backpack! Congrats man! Inspirational!
Great video! Very informative and unlike the bulk of similar videos floating around, I appreciate the fact that you don't repeat yourself over and over. Unlike another comment, I found that you spoke quite clearly and you were easy to understand. I will take what you've shared and adapt it for the urban jungle! Many thanks!
Interesting stuff you got with you, I like the food parts!
Camping for a long period of time, u can get small cuts on your hands and fingers, but its not a big deal if you're just camping for 2 days. But for a week+, some durable gloves that u use when gathering wood, starting fires etc. are great.
And that will protect to get a splinter under a nail and a nasty potentially dangerous infection too...
LJ, your BOB is extremely well thought out and logical. Very well put together! It looks like all the priority items are easily accessible. More importantly, you speak from experience, which a lot of guys on UA-cam DON'T! I love the narrow profile of your bag!
I've been researching various GPS models to buy, and I like your description of the important features of your Garmin. I'm looking forward to watching another video of a more detailed demonstration of your Garmin. Thanks for a very professional and informative video.
Your forgetting one of the most important items of all! Socks. If your hiking, or fishing, you step in water. No problem, then you pull out a pair of fresh wool socks. The military teaches you to always change and have a extra pair of socks
Damn Skippy!
Somehow I remembered Forrest Gump. Especially Major Dan.
Arþur D Lieutenant Dan 😃
@@2DAKE2 yeah right
Socks are great if your camping. This is a survival situation and a survival bag. I think you can survive without a pair of socks.
Wow one of the best set ups I've seen even with bags twice the size... I'm getting ready to redo my maxpedition after watching this...great job
put labels on the pill carrier so that other people can know it if they find you or so you don't need to think
I've been watching these bug out bag videos for weeks, by far the best bag yet.
Nice loadout, put a few grains of dry rice into your salt shaker, it will keep it from sticking together and clumping. Thats what we do here in hawaii where its so humid. Aloha!
Cool
My dad carries them bags
Nice video. You may also want to checkout the review of Survival Kit on my blog at *noahreviews. com/survival-kit-review/* Thanks. Ddt Elroy.
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover
survival kit
try Franaar Spies Control Formula (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my brother in law got cool success with it.
Excellent Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Eliamaan Crisis Genie (google it)? It is a good one of a kind guide for conquering the coming collapse minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 at last got excellent success with it.
Love how you have actually used your items. Most videos people have show all brand new items. I would bank on most of the people don't know how to use the items they have. Great Video!
What a fantastic bag. Highly impressed with your choice of carry items as well as the bag itself. Well done !
If I may make a suggestion? In my survival bags I use plastic soda/malted straws filled with various items. They are small, take up very little room and you can fit them into just about any narrow space in your bag(s).
Simple technique: Use needle nose pliers to squeeze together one end of straw with about 1/8" protruding outside pliers jaws, take a match, lighter or candle to melt the 1/8" end of straw then slide pliers quickly onto melted end and squeeze for about 10-20 seconds, this will seal that end. Fill straw with desired items then repeat process to seal open end. Practice with some small diameter soda straws until you get it down good. As an example of items for straws: Spaghetti, rice, salt, pepper, spices, matches and striker, fishing line and small hooks, cotton balls soaked in vasoline (for fire starter). Use your imagination! Great video, gave me some additional ideas for my bug out bags...Thanks
Bet the Boba tea straws would be awesome.
Great video, I absolutely loved it. One word of caution to all of you guys, like me, that have to take prescription meds: If you keep the go-bag in your vehicle, and if you get stopped by law enforcement, and IF you give them a reason to decide to go through your bag, you can get cited (or worse depending on the medication) for carrying the pills in anything other than the original bottle with your name and prescribing info on it. Same goes when you fly. If you keep your pills in those little compartmentalized containers with the days of the week on the lid, they can bust you for the same reason: no name, no doctor, no pill information, no fly. Don't toss your empty prescription bottles, leave a few tabs in them and keep them for emergencies.
good ideas. Thanks
First off, love the review.
Couple things I can think to add though that i keep in my bag.
1) wire saw. The kind that looks like a chainsaw chain. Works great and it's handy when needing some thick branches
2) I keep a ramen or some other type of dehydrated soup in my bag. Doesn't offer much in the way of nutrition or protein but it's a nice warm meal.
3) I have all the contents of my bag inventoried on a piece of paper. Has info on what, how much, exp date, and what pocket the item is located in. It's handy if there is an emergency and someone else has to access the contents of your bag for you or when you are updating the contents, you can look at the expiration date without having to dig through it all.
Brilliant Idea & very simple. I used to pick a few important dates in the calendar (people's birthdays as a reminder to check my expiry dates.
Great! Some items to add IMO: Any type of head cover/proteccion, a pair of working gloves, a pair of shocks, sunglasses and a working knife (flashlight?). 73, 51
Love the little derringer for snakes or whatever poops out of nowhere. Love the bag, nice setup
This is the coolest and most use full pack i ever saw
Montana! I am slightly jealous. I live, breathe and will be buried in Texas, but the weather alone will help to keep the riff raff out of your state. Thank you for doing the video. I am purchasing the bag due to your video. I need a vehicle bag for the Jeep and this fit the bill. Thanks again Brother and God Bless!
hey man, this is a great pack. Think you did really well. I recently bought a multikey for water- elevator-, gas-, metrodoors etc. Feel that is very helpful for me. Also I always get fresh cloveoil in in case of toothaches. Some things you just can do without in an emergencysituation. Well done, and a very pleasant voice to listen to as well. Many videos sound so sensational and hyper, and you come across very calm, balanced and smart. That is a big plus I think for the purpose of this bag. Thanks bro!
please keep your goddam spam away!
Great pack!!! It’s more a camping in comfort pack than a bug out bag, but you have at least enough food and supplies for two or three people, with the ability to add to it with fish and game on the run. Thank you for sharing your insights.
There is more things in your bag that I had in my first apartment. Love it
The bag holds a lot more than I thought it would. Great video.
This was the best - and I mean THE BEST - EDC/Bugout Bag video that I've ever seen! Well done, Sir! Thanks to this video, I ordered many of the items you enumerated. I'm sad to see that you haven't done any recent videos, but those that you did do ARE great. How about an EDC update? (Thanks in advance if you choose to do one.)
Ive been contemplating doing videos again. If I do that will be one of my first videos.
Legend'sJourney
You really should do some more videos. I've enjoyed watching your vids and I like your presentation of your bag video for sure. Maybe a cool video about stuff you carry in your vehicle would be cool. Thanks!!
@@LegendSexy I wouldn't mind having a peek at your arsenal if you do more videos, as well as your main, long term B.O.B and it's contents. My rucks of choice are the U.S.M.C. ILBE with assault pack attached and LAPG Atlas 72, making full use of all the MOLLE and very specific gear loads for both ( it's a big list that I adjust based on ruck ).
For all that ragged on you for forgetting you had that derringer, they must not carry/shoot a lot or own a lot of guns, because it's very easy to forget you brought that extra gun ( especially something like a derringer). I have more than once. Even had to talk a cop into believing me that I wasn't lying when he searched my truck after I told him I wasn't carrying, but I'm licensed to. I honestly forgot that I had a .357 Magnum S&W snubbie revolver in my console because I stayed at a friend's house that weekend for some partying and shooting a variety of guns. If not for my permit, I hate to think what might have happened ;)
You're right about Quik Clot - it burns like hell . . . which is why I now use Celox. It's just as effective and doesn't burn.
its awesome how you managed to put all those items, in such a small bag in my opinion
Thanks
I'm thankful UA-cam set you in my path today. I'm very appreciative of all the thought and work that went into your bag. I'm actually looking into ham radio at the moment so maybe we'll chat some day. I have many different and unique items I have in my bag and I'm sure we would click well for idea swapping :)
Could you put together a PDF of what you carry in your bag. I would call it a EDC bag since I carry mine every where I go. I simply remove weapons/tools when I enter a restricted area, I carry a extra locking bag that these items go in to be given to security or just hide them within the bag if there in no security/metal detector. I also carry a small homemade light weight stove within a pot.
Seath Stevenson On the next video on an updated version of this bag I will. I dont carry a lot of these items anymore. Ive found things I like better.
Great bag/kit. Looks very mobile, compact and light weight compared to some others that Ive seen that are overloaded, WAY OVER redundant and weighing in at 45-50 lbs. Packs like this are almost perfect, being able to carry it comfortably for long distances if nessesary.
I agree with you in that I like watching others videos too on how and what they pack/use, its facinating! My BOB is fairly new and a constant work in progress, and not even close to being complete.
Thanks, and I subbed!
Cool. Thanks for watching. Ya I believe in the mobile aspect of a bag.
Great video. Well thought out bag. Finally someone that is' carrying 10 knives in their pack. It looks nice and light weight so you would carry it rather than leave it.
Put a few pieces of uncooked rice in your salt. The rice will absorb the moisture and the salt will last longer..
My shemagh is so vital in my kit! when I go out hiking, it covers my mouth and nose from dust and flies! also been used as a tourniquet as that was all I had to hand when my friend cut his leg open!
That bag looks cool as fuck. Small but... in proportion. Fantastic!
Awesome review. You know your stuff and it looks as though you will be well prepared in a pinch.
You forgetting the personal care or personal hygiene!
Tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, maybe dry soap. You can uses like shampoo too. Some alcohol or betadine.
Thanks for sharing your preparation!
Nice video but you should add a good amount of paracord to make shelter with the tarp, bushcraft knife, several small pocket knives or Swiss Army knife of your choice a small crank radio with light solar panel and USB port for charging batteries and also a small solar panel for charging. There is another battery charger that’s fairly new to market that produces electricity from your campfire. One more thing... a small axe head. I am only mentioning these things because your kit is already so good and you don’t fear spending money on good equipment so make your kit perfect with these items. I would put all the food in a separate mollie pouch and attach/detect when needed. I also am assuming that you have a compact survival rifle. Ha, I wrote this comment before watching the last few minutes. Nicely done man. Subscribed
Best i've seen yet, 21yr military veteran/country boy
Cool name
Out of all the bug out bag videos I have watched you have the first one where I have seen some talk about putting nailclippers in their bag. I've always thought those were crucial. I have a set in my bag, but I've never seen anyone else talk about it. Anyway, you gave me some good ideas for my own bag. Two things I know I need to add now are quick clot and a metal spork. Thank you very much, man.
At the beginning of this video i have to say i doubted you haha, but throughout the vid you proved yourself in my eyes. you seem like you have some very good opinions and are very seasoned. i took away some good ideas from this vid, thanks.
Thanks for the compliment.
I've watched a million of these videos, and you are by far the closest to my own setup. Thanks for the informative video! I lived outside of Clark Fork ID for 2 years so I know your area a bit. I just bought a HAM and would love to hear back from you about getting my license and how to get started. thanks man! keep up the great work!
Living in Finland its always shocks me that there are places where you need 2 guns, we do have bears but we use bear bells for those.
Excellent Introduction,,, is actually interesting how a Prepping Bag Evolve, the more we go out and practice, the more we need to change things around Different Priorities,,, many people overlook simple things like chopsticks, with over one hundred uses, and fits in any Prepping Bag, , , My Bag Today is a Totally different animal from what it was Twenty Years ago, , ,
This is like a BOB for rich folks. Shit, you've over a grand in TWO ITEMS (binoculars and the Magnum Pug pistol). Must be nice but don't know how many people can relate to this.
This is the best bag I’ve seen. Excellent presentation.
Thanks
You said in the beginnig you cary this bag every day?! This is crazy!
Well done. My get home bag is 22 pounds, the bare minimum, like you, travel light, travel fast. If I have 15 minutes to reinforce it out of what I keep in my truck, could last a month with about 40 pounds of gear, total. However, my bag is grab and go, if I only have reaction time to prepare.
One thing I would add, have 3 different water filtration systems. Water is key, above everything else. I see so many zombie apocalypse videos where they have 4 firearms and a gazillion rounds of ammo, that weighs 150 pounds, and zero water filtration kits.
My firearm loadout, like you, is a Glock 26 with one 10 round mag, and 2 33 round mags, plus a Ruger 10-22 takedown, and 200 rounds in loaded 25 round mags, if I have the option to grab it on the way out of the door. I am more than likely to leave the 10-22, because it is a lot of weight, if I'm going to expend the calories to carry that much weight, would be better served to carry an additional dozen water bottles.
Another thing I have in my bag you don't, is an unopened bag of 6 pairs of clean wool socks, and an unopened bag of 6 pairs of clean underwear, and 3 boxes of diaper wipes, and 6 rolls of toilet paper. We don't always have the time nor environment to properly clean ourselves, and we are so spoiled in this day and age we are used to daily showers and ceramic thrones, to do our business. Not so, in the zombie apocalypse.

^this video in a nutshell

Love that food is a major component in your bag. Most people think that they will survive just with gadgets and 50 ways to start a fire and 50 yards of cordage. Water and food..
Mate great pack out that bag fits a lot very well done
Good job man! You did a great job of covering the necessities. Honey was something I had never considered. Collapsible rain jacket or at least a big garbage sack is good to have.
I'm curious what your shelter option is...
Yes, cool, wet weather..etc
Great idea with the honey. Another thing about it is that it NEVER goes bad. Ever. So you don't need to worry about replacing it. It will crystallize, but that doesn't mean its inedible, its just in a different state.
Coolest fishing kit I have seen so far...
Who makes that green tackle box?
great video ... lots of useful stuff... I would add about 3 waist size of cordage with 3 key rings with any trash bag, S.U blanket or rain poncho ready to go for quick deploying in rain/ colder areas. Wrap around ones waist to trap air inside your core and use the other 2 for arms(bags). For the S.U blanket tie over the shoulders and around the waist.( cover the head if needed). You have instant space to put extra insulation while not letting cold winds get underneath you. Simple and low weight option to save time vs the elements.
wow you got a lot in that small bag.

OOPS! I forgot I had my gun in there! . . . . . . are you serious?
Sergeant O'Petie,
No.
Actually with a tiny backup gun like that it's easier to do than you might think. Actually read an article about a guy leaving a Seecamp in his bag after cleaning it out. His wife grabbed the bag and put stuff in for a weekend trip. But TSA found it, only because the husband was LEO was he able to convince them that there was no desire to break the law just a mistake. But woe to us if we make the same mistake.
I would choose the minimaster 4" (really wished they made a 6") barrel with the folding grip and a box of shells with a few shot shells for snake medicine. You probably loose alot of velocity with only a 1" barrel. Plus a Cold Steel Spetsnaz shovel, larger knife and folding saw. Would also upgrade 9mm Glock to 10mm for use against large predators.
@@kirkchartier7141 Glock is the mostly widely used pistol across the planet. 10mm is a better round in terms of power, but let me think of how many of my gun-owning buddies have a 10mm..... Hmm ZERO. It's not a common round and what do you do when you expend your ammo on hand? 9mm is a NATO round and used all across the planet. Also advances in power and in bullets make 9mm more formidable than when I carried an M9 with ball ammo. Like uncommon calibers, proprietary or uncommon firearms in my opinion are a no-go. Violates the "Rule of Commonality" (It's my own rule, but it makes sense) Also this could be a self-defense weapon, not sure I want to be limited to 5 .22 magnum rounds.
@@robertthetexan8537 9mm with proper ammo can be good versus 2 legged predators and medium sized dogs. But the commonality argument means that the most likely ammo you're going to find is ball, And while ball has always been and always will be a pathetic man stopper (unless you hit brain or spine above shoulders or riddle them with lots of hits) in the 90's the military switched to 9mm and the FBI dubbed it the wonder super caliber of the future (the hype) yet time after time on the street the (if they didn't expand or brain hit) they were pathetic stoppers requiring magazines full. The best stoppers were the +p+ loads out of a full sized barrel pushing the bullets to .357 magnum velocities which caused the lead to be very malleable. The FBI Miami shootout caused the FBI to dump the 9mm in favor of the 10mm. But lots of the agents couldn't handle the power of the 10mm so they downloaded it, and S&W chopped the excess case and the 40 S&W was born.
@@robertthetexan8537 part 2 the 10mm is almost exactly where the 41 magnum was supposed to be halfway between 357 mag and 44 mag and will handle all but the largest predators (bear, boar, gator and etc.) which will need more penetration due to the more horizontal frame. Also is better against vehicles which is why the KSP (KY State Police)used it for a number of years. While it is a little over kill against humans (kind of like the 20 gage vs 12 gage) it can fill both roles well. While shooting a bear or boar with a 9mm you are just going to tick it off.
If you want to use 9mm ball then it is advisable (and wise) to run it out of a longer barrel with a stock (smg sized or carbine sized) for added velocity and accuracy for head shots.
The 22 is for small game hunting and for sound signaling better and louder than any whistle and carry a couple hundred rounds without a significant weight increase.
I can say that you actually have a pretty good setup pack. You don't have a lot of junk that you don't need either. Good job.
So this dude dropped more than 2g on a bug out bag and everyone acting like he knows what he's talking about

Got my girlfriend this bag because he called it a "Plan B", 9 months later I now have a daughter...
I normally don't like sling bags due to them sliding up towards your head whenever you bend forward to pick up anything. However, I've decided to give one a try but it's an inexpensive one so if it doesn't work for me, no big loss. Surprisingly it's a nice looking tactical bag in OD green. Walmart sells it in green and in black. I didn't like the black in that it was hard to see the interior of the bag in low light conditions. The price is just under $28 and for the price it is well constructed and seems durable. I worked on a load out for it so that I can use it for a simple overnight trip to do some reconnaissance, scouting areas for possible campsites. The load out weighs 10.18 pounds minus water in the 24 ounce insulated bottle. The Sawyer mini kit will help to replenish water supply. My sleep system includes a double sized hammock, straps, military poncho for shelter and a Bearhard Bivy Sack. The cooking kit is an alcohol stove, 8 oz Vargo bottle of fuel, a 550 ml titanium cup with lid plus six Trioxane tabs for back up or to initiate a camp fire and a UCO spork. Other gear includes a high lumen headlamp, red lights. spare AAA batteries, folding blade, full tang neck knife, IFAK, #36 bank line, three lighters (two Bic's and a Croc's), a Casio watch with compass, barometer and elevation sensors. I just added a digital camo phone case (molle capable) for my cell phone and a charger. On my person I'll carry my wallet, keys and CCW. I'm shopping for a hand held Ham radio like your Yaesu and will work on acquisition of a license.

@Food For Thought
Here are some facts for chewing. From the site you cited, the findings from Law Street:
10. Indianapolis, Indiana
Although Indiana is a republican state, the present mayor of Indianapolis is a democrat, but was proceeded by a republican mayor which saw a 2% increase in crime rate during his term. To be fair (which is a four letter word to conservatives), the ways crimes are reported changed which does not make for a valid comparison to other years.
9. Stockton, California
People I talk to that have lived in California insist California is a conservative state, but the governor has been democratic since 1992. Stockton does have a democratic mayor now, but the previous mayor was republican. which saw a 10% increase in crime rate while he was mayor.
8. Cleveland, Ohio
Ohio has had a republican governor since 2011.
Present and former mayor of Stockton though has been a democratic.
7. Baltimore, Maryland
Although on the list, Baltimore had eight years of decreasing crime rates, of which from 2010 to 2016 there was a democratic mayor.
6. Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Has had a democratic mayor during the time the rates were compiled, but rapes remained flat and the number of murders decreased by 13%, there was an increase in robberies and aggravated assaults. Perhaps just as sad, Milwaukee ranks only behind Detroit in being poor.
5. Birmingham, Alabama
Although Alabama is overwhelmingly a republican state, Birmingham had a democratic mayor during which the crimes used for the report were collected, although there was a decrease in murders in 2014.
4. St. Louis, Missouri
Although the present governor of Missouri is a republican, the former mayor was a democrat. St. Louis is overwhelmingly democratic. Although there was a decrease in reported rapes, murders rose quite a bit.
3. Oakland, California
Mayor was democrat, and saw a decrease in violent crimes.
2. Memphis, Tennessee
Democrat. Memphis is also among the poorest cities in the U.S.A.
1. Detroit, Michigan
Democrat.
So, 8 of 10 of the most violent cities mayors were democrat when these rates were reported, with 3 of these seeing a decrease in violent crimes.
From Law Street again, 10 most violent states
{www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/03/americas-most-dangerous-states_n_5639194.html}, party dominance in 2016:
10. Oklahoma - republican
9. Maryland - democratic
8. Florida - republican
7. Louisiana - republican
6. Delaware - democratic
5. South Carolina - republican
4. New Mexico - democratic
3. Alaska - republican
2. Nevada - democrat
1. Tennessee -republican
Uuuuoooo, republicans just edge out, 6 to 4.
Gun murder rates, top 10 (2010), political party (2016):
1. D.C. - n/a
2. Louisiana - republican
3. Missouri - republican
4. Maryland -democratic
5. South Carolina -republican
6. Delaware - democratic
7. Michigan - republican
8. Mississippi - republican
9. Georgia - republican
10. Arizona - republican
And the republicans have it.
Harsh gun laws would be subjective.

An amazing kit. My only addition would be a compact pocket radio for checking news bulletins or instructions during a disaster. There are plenty of solar and hand crank models out there but I prefer the old Grundig Mini 300 World Band Receiver. No weather channels, but most local stations provide that service.
good stuff ...
Thanks man! I am putting together three bags and its a bit daunting. One smaller bag for each vehicle and then a larger bug out bag for the house...
Awesome. I have supplies in my vehicles, then this bag, then a larger bag, and a box I can throw in my vehicle in a moments notice. I never plan to leave in an emergency but I love having the option.
LegendSexy I am with you regarding bugging-in. Bugging out is a very last resort... I am not to far from you here in eastern WA. One concern for us could be the Hanford Nuclear power plant since its not to far from here. If there was an incident I may have to bug out. As you said the option is there....

Wow... This was a really interesting video... I have only recently been interested in prepping for emergencies, so I have only picked up a ready made bag, and added a few items to it... This video really got me thinking about what I "Should" be carrying... Not, just what someone else thought I should have... Great vid!
You made me watch the whole video. The way you did it held my attention. You would be a good instructor. I give you a thumbs up and I subsribed. Looking forward to more videos from you. Thanks.
I doubt you will read this but I figure it's worth a shot. Your video on the hazard 4 inspired me to rethink my 75LB survival bag. I split it up into 2 bags now after watching this. And ordered and used the hazard 4 because of this video. I wanted mainly to suggest that you take a look into the CSFB-1 and Tactical Revolution quiver by primal gear. It's a perfect molle fit on the side and a grand total of like 5 lbs. looks and feels like a match made in heaven. guns last as long as bullets do. Compact bow and arrow set is priceless.
Nice little bag!! Well done video and good stuff in the bag!! Thanks for puttin' it up!!
I loved your channel. It's too bad you don't post anymore. I totally bought the pill case you have and have loved having it for years.
Thanks
I was watching on my AppleTV and had to reload on my phone to reply. Great video and great pack setup. Rarely do I find someone that I identify with on a pack setup. Once again, excellent job and this video should help so many.

That is a cool looking bag, and you've been able to simplify your needs to manage your kit to fit the bag. Some great ideas here. Be well.
I hope to see another video from you. It's tiring to see so many videos where people are pushing the latest gear instead of passing on their knowledge from experience.
I would add 4 - 55 gal. 3 mil garbage bags and 10 large heavy duty rubber bands. 20' of police tape to signal location for emergency help. Shelter, rain gear, water collection, solar still, and emergency flotation! Then aluminum foil I would change to the heavy duty non-stick about 10 foot. For a reflector to heat your shelter, cooking, solar furnace. Add steri strips or butterflies to your first aid kit, and a small bttl. or individual skin prep pads - of tincture of benzoin (prep skin for butterfly /steri - strips for closure of simple cuts making them hold better even when wet.).

Not only ALL- inclusive but HIGH Quality specific stuff…very particular. Impressive really…
Very well thought out and organized bag with quality gear! Great video.
I love that little pug 22. Cant carry that here but wouldnt be too hard to hide! Great vid,great items and most definately useful. Thanks for sharing
Buddy am watching you tube since 15 years but this is the one video i liked most love you bro
changing and updating the contents is one of the big keys to a successful Ready-Go Bag.
One of the best bags I've seen on youtube. A lot of your stuff makes sense even for a city boy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Dan.
Wow, you carry a lot more than I do.My view on a get home bags is exactly that, something you keep in vehicle and just use to get back to your house if your vehicle conks out and it's a mass riot or something dangerous. I just carry ( everywhere, and I do have a CCW permit ) a compact .40 caliber ( usually in a belly-band holster with loops for 2 extra, high capacity mags. Pistol, when carrying a .40 caliber, is normally a Glock 23 or Sig Saur P229, loaded with 180 grain Hydra Shoks and 2 extra 12 [Sig Saur] or 13 [Glock] round mags, so 37-40 rounds with a round in the chamber. Even tho I would be mostly sticking to woods and avoiding people to get home in a major civil unrest scenario, the cops around here carry Smith and Wesson M&P .40's, so I would carry a .40 for easy replenishment of ammo even if my normal CCW wasn't already .40 and/or .45 ACP) and a spring assisted Gerber or Kershaw tactical folding knife clipped to my right pocket, a little O Light LED flashlight on my key ring, and my prescription meds ( in the pharmacy bottles, Roxicodone 30mg tablets for chronic pain, Xanax 2mg tablets for panic disorder) also in my pockets, as well as a couple of Bic lighters even tho I mostly vape now.
If, for some reason, I'm on foot making it home, I keep in vehicle a couple bottles of water, area map in glove box, a Helikon Tex E&E pouch I can easily clip to my belt. It normally contains : Gerber deluxe multi-tool, an extra bandanna ( I'm normally wearing a bandanna as well ), a Glock knife that looks kinda like a slender KA BAR ( I'm sure you've seen them ), another, bigger LED flashlight, a pen can of WD-40, some duct tape and electrical tape, a tube of super glue ( the liquid skin they use in hospitals is basically super glue ), a bottle of Kwik Stop ( I was a Licensed Veterinary Technician for years and it's a hemostatic powder we used that's basically the same as Quick Clot but cheaper), a bag with a couple of scalpel blades ( especially #10 and #11 type blades) and packs of suture material ( nylon and monocryl, we seem to think alike on a lot of stuff and it's all readily available on Veterinary supply websites like Cal Vet Supply ), tube of Bacitracin, a small bottle of Purell, a hank of paracord, Lifestraw, a double barrel derringer that chambers .45 Colt Revolver and .410 shotgun rounds, a couple of military grade chem lights, match vault with some military survival matches, a little, 10 slot military blasting cap box with 5 .45 Colt JHP's and 5 .410 shotgun .00 Buckshot rounds, a bag with a few gauze pads ( for bleeding and blisters ), Epi-Pen ( I live in the South and I'm highly allergic to wasps and hornets, of which there is a big abundance here ) and that's about it. Oh yeah, also a "cheap but it works" compass ( because I'm not bringing my expensive, tritium, Cammenga, military compass unless it's a societal collapse bugout) and I wear a watch ( analog, with hands, so it can be used as a compass as long as the sun is shining. It's Smith and Wesson military type, so good ), a set of Machanix gloves are in my glove box and would be in my pocket if needed to hoof, the same tweezers you have with the same tips and white sheath (because we have lots of Black Berry bushes, Devil's Walking Sticks, thistles, nettles and prickers ), and that's my simple get home kit. BTW, I really like the organizational skills. I'm the same way, I like to know right where everything is so I don't sit and dig for it when I need something right now. I'm very impressed and I pack my rucks and MOLLE pouches the same way :) BTW, those TP dealies are called toilet paper tablets and they are in my kit as well ( I thought they were a joke when I first heard of them. You don't even have to immerse them in water, you can dampen them and they're really great )
