  • Will you survive or lay down and die? While you probably won't have to build a mud house and hide in the woods, which fighting off wild boars, you should have an emergency action plan in place.
    Most of us do not possess the primitive skills necessary to create a shelter, hunt for food and secure safe drinking water needed for a long-term survival plan. As a matter of fact, most of you will simply shelter in place with the food and water you have on hand, while hoping someone shows up to save you. But what happens when no one shows up? What happens when you no longer have food or water? What happens when the temperature drops below freezing and you don't have the ability to start a fire.
    These are some of the survival issues we're going to deal with on this channel. From Get Home Bags, EDC and Bug Out Bags to urban survival and personal protection, I'm going to attempt to provide you with all the information and knowledge you need to help ensure your survival through any number of emergency events.
    In this video we discuss the need for and contents of a Get Home Bag. Having tools, equipment, water and food, available during an emergency situation will oftentimes be the determining factor between life and death. Help yourself to create a better chance at surviving a catastrophic event. Prepare for the Unexpected!

    I personally prefer a little bigger rucksack that isn't totally full because you can be gathering items along the way. Also hanging items on the outside of the kit seem to get caught in branches and the like and once they're gone they're gone. I searched around for the exact right poncho for a good while for these types of kits, more lightweight than an army poncho but still strong enough to have tie outs, I can't see how strong your poncho is but the right one has many more uses than a plastic one. A wicking base layer is a good thing in many environments too to stop your sweat freezing you when the sun goes down. Done a fairly long distance get home journey a couple of times and the most important thing outside of water, keeping warm/dry/cool was keeping my feet healthy, a little food for energy and coffee, great for moral and it sharpened me up when I needed it.

      Thanks for the comment. It's great that we can all have our own ideas as to what's best to pack in a get home bag. I will always choose a pack that's just large enough for the items I've selected to carry. In my 2 day journey home, I can't think of anything that I would want or need to pick up along the way. As for items on the outside of the bag getting caught on branches, my journey would more than likely take me through an urban area where trees aren't a concern. If I needed to traverse a more wooded area, I may choose to put the small items inside my pack or in a pocket. As for my poncho, it's sufficient to keep the rain off me. I have a large tarp with tie outs if I need it. That said, I won't typically put up a traditional tent that says "look I'm right here under the tent". I'm going to find a vacant room to shelter in (with a window so I have two entry/access points) or I'm going to find a dry warm area where I can curl up and cover myself. I'd rather look like a discarded bundle of trash than a human target in a tent. And, I made it a point to say that my get home bag has been adapted for warm weather, since that's the season I'm in right now. In colder weather, I'll reevaluate my bag and add cold weather gear. Thanks again for the comment!

    Well done bag and video. One thing I have in mine is a flimsy Walmart plastic cutting board. Usually in a three pack for a few bucks.Trim it to fit the main compartment near the shoulder straps or straps. You now have a stiffener and protection from hard objects in your pack. Remove it and you have a cutting board, a kneeling pad or a dry seat.

    Cotton bandana and small monocular might be handy for both going through a trouble area in town or countryside. Birthday candle is a cheap Firestarter aid. Stove that nests under your cup to complete the cook set might be considered. P51 can opener and sillcock key for water on commercial buildings. Used plastic grocery bag is great for gathering, contractors bag has multiple uses, place with your bed roll. Sail needle and thread for repairs, I keep mine tucked in with the knife with a ranger band. Note: the problem with adding is when to stop. Weight vs need. Great video.

      All great ideas Robert. I agree that there are so many more things that could be added. I prefer to keep my get home bag lightweight and very portable so I can carry it wherever I go. It's always good to learn what others are packing an it gives our viewers additional choices when they go to pack their bag. Hope you have a great week and thanks again for the comment!

      All are very good items to have in a BOB, but for a Get Home Bag you want to travel as light as possible. More than likely you won’t be gone for more than a day or two before you reach home or a friend or relatives house. That’s just my opinion though.

    Great bag, I would make a few suggestiins on items. Add a couple more ziploc bags to scoop water or pack up trash in a tactical situation. Small bottle of iodine in the first aid kit, Great for water purification too, put some 1in gorilla tape around the lighter takes up no more room can be used to help a fire start plus makes the grip easier in wet environment, the battery pack find one that is a bit larger that has a solar charger and flashlight they are 20 dollars and it provides redundancy. Some even have a compass on them. Additionally they have very small survival sleeping bags that are almost like an emergency blanket that work very well especially in the rain. Great video I look forward to more. Awesome job.

    Something you might find more useful is if you superglue your match striker to the bottle. Trying to get one of those lit with it flimsy in your hand is going to be goofy. Add superglue to your kit as well. Endless uses for almost zero space

    • @MortalSurvival
      @MortalSurvival  2 роки тому +1

      Great tip! Superglue usually just pisses me off because the tip gets clogged and I can't use it but I can definitely see where it could be useful in a survival situation. However, I like to keep the striker dry and that's why I put it inside the waterproof container. I've had issued before with the striker getting wet and not working properly. But I do like the superglue idea and maybe it should be added to the kit.

  • @GeckoHiker

    After many decades of ultra-lightweight backbacking I learned to layer what I carry. From a survival necklace with magnesium block & striker, matches, tinder, small tactical knife, OTC medications, can opener, mini LEDs, and sillcock key, to emergency water gathering and treatment (plastic bags, iodine tablets). Then a waist pack with a small emergency bivvy, small pot, collapsible silicon dishes, utensils, squeeze bottle bidet, camp trowel, first aid supplies, two contractor bags, cheap rain poncho, collapsible water container, instant coffee, tea bags, and trail mix. The waist pack is for daily hiking use, while the backpack has more food, water, shelter, and clothing. If I'm separated from the backpack the waistpack will do in an emergency. A squeeze bottle bidet can be as simple as a hair color applicator with an attached cap. We ladies know how to backpack without a lot of tp.

    Your kit is pretty good. A few additions (aren't there always?). I'd add a few bandanas, good for everything, or even a,shimaug (sp) could be a sling if necessary. Ranger bands are convenient, as are zip ties. Id also bring a "woobie" or military poncho liner. Weighs next to nothing can be a blanket or a warm layer under your poncho if you get caught on a chilly rainy night. (Only thing worse that being wet is being wet AND cold) I'd also suggest some moleskin. You might breakdown coming home from a family gathering, and not wearing footwear condusive to long treks through whatever...blisters on your feet will slow you down to a crawl, if not stop you cold.. liquid bandage on torn blisters is good. It's antiseptic as well as protecting the raw skin. You've got to take care of your feet. Also a signal mirror. I can go on and on, but that's enough for now.

      More food would be nice but 2400 calories for a two or three day trek will at least get you by. You'll definitely be hungry though.

    Very well done video and well thought out bag. I differ on some items but that's what makes the world go 'round. My GHB lives in a tote in my pickup along with some additional gear. I also use it for primitive camping so I carry some comfort items that I can leave behind to lighten up if needed. My pack weights 30#s including food and 3 liters of water.
    For 2-3 days, I'd prefer to carry more food. While we can survive up to 3 weeks without food, we need to be pushing hard to get home and I want to support the calorie and protein burn. A hot meal also is a morale booster - all I need is hot water and a backpacker meal. I travel 100 miles or more from home for work, so I may end up longer than 3 days.
    I also like a little more shelter, so I'm carrying a military poncho, a woobie, a casualty blanket and a sil-poly tarp. I can choose to leave some of those behind in warm weather.
    I've carried one strap sling bags for short hikes and fishing, but for a long hike I believe you will want the better support and distribution of a regular backpack with 2 padded shoulder straps and a hip belt.
    When things go bad, inflation will set in quickly. I like to carry at least $300 in my gear.
    Instead of a Lifestraw, I carry a Sawyer Squeeze with a bag that weighs about the same but gives me extra capacity and flexibility.
    Instead of TP, I carry wet wipes. Weighs a little more than a full roll of TP, but does a better job and takes less space.
    I carry a UCO lantern for my candles - a little extra weight but protects the flame from wind so it's brighter and stays lit.
    I carry my fixed blade, first aid, fire starting gear and compass on a riggers belt. Partly to distribute the weight better but also so I can always have those items on me even when I take my bag off.
    I EDC a firearm, but if I'm in get home mode I've got a holster mounted on one of the pack chest straps as my CC holster will be hard to get to with the pack on.

    I agree with 'some' food items. We can survive for a few weeks without food. Have you I tried going 3 days without food. (Cranky is not the word I'd use) so yeah, at leat food for a day. Keep in mind us something happens after work, and the last time you ate was lunchtime 4 hours earlier, could become a factor.
    As for boiling water to purify, please remember boiling water is too hot to drink. It may take 45 minutes to cool down. Also any pills or chemicals you use to purify leave a foul taste.
    As with everything, backup to the backup, to the backup. No such thing as being too prepared, but there is a such thing as being sorry.
    You hinted at it, but go thru the bag once every 3-6 months, whatever works for you. Also practice using the bag. Try camping in the backyard with your son. He'll have fun and learn, and you can learn equipment as well. Just don't admit it, because dads are supposed to know everything. Lol

    I enjoyed your vid, But, as a Boy Scout I will tell you that a map without a good compass, is no good (I use a Suunto MC2, it also has a mirror for signaling and 1st aid to see your face.). I personally believe the Life Straw sucks (you have to get within 12 inches of the water source), for 12.99 you can get a FS-TFC from Amazon, which again I personally believe is a better product. I would add a light wt. mosquito head net, cheap Ozark trail Bino's (under 9 bucks at Walmart). I have sunglasses on me but also carry cheap kids tinted swimming goggles to protect my eyes from frying particles. I do not like a shoulder bag set up, I prefer a daypack 1200 to 1800 cu in. I also prefer the SOS bivy to just cheap mylar blankets. I also carry SOS food ration bars and a 16.3 oz jar of peanut butter and a silcok key. This is the 1st time I have seen your vids and I like what I see, a no non-sense good informative vid. thank you for your time and energy, it is greatly appreciated.

      @MortalSurvival  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for the comment Ivan. While I appreciate your time with the boy Scouts, I was an infantry US Marine who practiced land navigation in some of the most hospitable environments. A basic compass, like what I carry, will work just fine. As a matter of fact, many of us would not even need a compass, especially in an urban environment where every street sign and address tells you your direction. As for a pack vs. a shoulder bag, I've explained that reasoning in another comment. One of the reasons I like it is it allows me to bring the pack in front of me to retrieve items without having to stop to remove the entire pack. Of course you could do this with a standard backpack but it's much more cumbersome. My get home bag will probably just be needed for a short trip so small and lightweight is ideal. You do offer some good ideas and I like the fact that we can all learn from each other. While my pack certainly works for me and what it is intended for, I agree that it's not the right setup for everyone. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

      If it weighs more think about adding a X harness setup with a lumbar support if possible. It allows you to shift the weight from shoulders to hips and back easier plus you can distribute the weight over a larger area. Keep an eye out on heat injuries and hydration if you cover a large surface area of the body as well.

    I just can't make a bag w/o a change of clothes. Also, you might consider a ziploc snack bag with 10 more rounds of ammo. Just sayin.

      Thanks for the comment Robert. Yeah you can't go wrong with a change of clothes and more ammo, which I have in my bugout bag. I may be able to wrap a spare shirt in my bed roll but space for me is really limited and most every spare inch is accounted for. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

      @@MortalSurvival You're right. I had to add a change to my get home and it takes up a LOT of room. I also added a ziploc bag with 10 + extra rounds for each of the calibers I'll carry with about 60 rounds .30 Carbine, 45 9mm and 5 .22wmr. I'll have a heart attack if I ever have to use it LOL.

      Thanks for the comment. Certainly a good point but not too concerned about these small items on my get home bag. I've tested it and the small items I have can't be detected during daytime movement in an urban environment and I try not to move at night. Just a personal preference. If I was going tactical, I'd certainly practice noise discipline and secure the loose items. Thanks again for the comment and good point.

    The Second someone shows me a Slingbag, over the shoulder bag like yours , etc..., the bag set up is dead for me.
    For a simple reason.
    If shtf, the last thing you want is a single strap set up.
    It's for a mile or two ok but not really for long distance.
    Also it's highly unhealthy for your back to Carrie heavy weights for long periods of time on just one strap.
    + if you want to go home from a Car crash, earthquake area etc..
    The last thing you want is attract attention.
    Your bag, even in black does exactly that. With knifes and stuff all over it.
    Get a small day pack, like 10~12 L and you can carry everything inside, covert.
    Knifes can be carried under a jacket or in a Fannypack or the open side pocket of the day pack.
    Less attention, no danger of getting snagged on stuff, you can walk through a city without people calling the cops on you because knifes or anything "dangerous".
    So .... Good idea, not so good execution.

      Thanks for the comment but I have to disagree. I carried a two strap pack in the military for years and have bad shoulders and a disability for it.
      This pack is perfect and light weight. Granted, if I was talking about a bug out bag, you may need a larger two strap pack to fit everything inside. This is s small lightweight get home bag. A larger and heavier bag would tempt you to put items in it that aren't necessary for a get home bag, would slow you down and be difficult to carry. My pack weighs less than 10 lbs and can be carried on either shoulder, if one starts to hurt or has a previous injury. And, because it's lightweight, you barely notice you're carrying it.
      With this one strap setup, you can easily swing the bag in front of you to remove items on the go. No need to stop and take the pack off. Additionally, I clearly stated in the video that I'm not going to go through the location of each individual item because everyone should pack their bag based on their needs. If you don't like the knife on the outside of the pack, put it inside or wear it on your belt. Think outside the box and set your pack up how you like, don't copy what I've done!
      You don't like black because it draws attention? Maybe a bright orange or lime green would work better? Not quite sure what color you'd find suitable. Wait, camouflage so they know I'm prior military?

      T, agree 100%. I’ve been a Maxpedition fanboy for ever (I have a Versipack that’s ~18 years old) but I’m switching away from the tactical molle sling bags. These days using Vertx packs, they carry better with 2 straps, and they look like regular book bags / day packs. The colors are muted, and not black/FDE/camo. #greyman.

    Never have your knife fixed to outside of your pack if you have to ditch it you just lost your knife

    • @MortalSurvival
      @MortalSurvival  2 роки тому +2

      Now I think you like to just pick apart videos, lol. If I had to ditch my pack (certainly a worst case scenario) I'd take an extra 5 seconds to remove the knife. 6 years as a Marine, 3 years in foreign countries doing executive protection and 22 years as a cop, I've never had one situation whereby I wouldn't have time to remove an item from a pack, especially when it's positioned where it is. Super easy access and removal. As a matter of fact, I can remove the knife faster than I can remove the pack. This is like telling a cop he shouldn't carry a taser on his outer carrier because you would like it on a belt. We carry items based on personal preference and training. I have an idea, maybe I should carry my flashlight on my belt too and maybe my fire starting kit will be in my left front pocket. Maybe everyone is wrong and no one should carry a get home bag but instead carry everything on our person, just in case we have to ditch the bag. Your logic makes no sense but thanks for speaking up!

    • @boomer16323
      @boomer16323 Рік тому

      while hiking home, take knife off the pack and put it on your belt. But you don’t keep it on your belt daily. Several items should be kept in/on the bag but removed and placed on body. Ditching a small GHB is an unlikely scenario.

    Food, water and protection. You will be better served with a pack that you can run with and I would suggest you rethink your philosophy. I doubt most ppl work 3 walking days from their homes.

    • @MortalSurvival
      @MortalSurvival  2 роки тому +1

      You're right most people can probably walk home in a day however a well-prepared get home bag should be setup to last 2 to 3 days, in case you're further away from home when the SHTF. Food is the least of my concern. The 2400 calories I have packed will work great for a short trip home. And why would I want a pack built for running? While you may enjoy running most of us are going to move with precision and in a manner that keeps us out of harms way. In my opinion, if you're forced to run then you lost your tactical advantage and sooner or later someone will run faster than you. Everyone has a philosophy and you should prep based on that philosophy. Telling someone to rethink a philosophy that is based on years of real life experience is like telling a southpaw they're using the wrong hand.

      I had a survival supplies store and still have about 20 of each item used in my pack. Yes, I chose mostly new and unused items for the video. I think everyone should have at least two of every survival/safety item they feel is important enough to put in a get home or bug out bag. It doesn't mean that items aren't used, I'm just wise enough to have several of each and can use the new items for demonstrations

      This is not a bug out bag. It's called a get home bag and it may be useful in any situation, such as the aftermath of a hurricane, when there's been a disruption to civil disorder. Cash would certainly be useful, even if martial law were in place. I feel sorry for you man! Not everything is an "end of the world" scenario.
