    Im 64 years old. Ex Army Ranger. Have a bag weighing 19.8 lbs. Made it 61 days without running out of supplies. I still do military hikes. I eat sleep and breath survival and self defense. Im in the woods once a week practicing with my equipment. I love my life.

    This weekend I took my 100L eberlestock inch bag for a spin on a rainy hike and stayed in the mountains of Tennessee with rain over night. As much as I want to believe one can carry that load 70# and have all you need in the mountains it’s not very realistic when you actually go out there and do it. I am getting rid of my humongous bag and stick to layers and cache kits. I agree with you. Mobility and being inconspicuous at the same time go hand in hand.

    I came across this just scrolling through looking for camping videos and was intrigued by your concealed fire video, and then this one. Very interesting and informative videos. You kept mentioning the scenario where maybe you couldn't get back home to your BOB, AND I just kept seeing the Bastrop Complex fires in Bastrop, Texas in 2011, I think it was. There were MANY people who went to work that day and couldn't get back to their homes because the fire was huge, and it was everywhere. They shut down HWY 71. It was really awful, and that's the kind of emergency where you can't get home, or your family is at home and they have to evacuate immediately, then, you have to have a plan for meeting up. I now keep all my important documents and lists of things that the insurance company needed from people who lost everything in my own sort of BOB. Society doesn't have to collapse to need this type of information. Something as simple, but terrifyingly destructive, as a raging forest fire headed your way is enough to send you scrambling if you aren't prepared. Thanks for the video!

    Mr. Gray Beard, we learn that same system in school, when we were in the Scout. It was the most eye opening idea for 14 & 15 year old. Then we all learned the upgraded version when in the Army, similar but more efficient. It may be difficult for a civilian to see what you are getting at but I'm sure with perseverance you will succeed. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

    my brother from a different mother. I've used the same terms, "kits" and "go bags" whilst figuring out our survival tactics. I travel a lot so I have to ensure that TSA won't steal my stuff while at the same time I travel with enough gear to get me back to my hotel and then plot a way home. Who knows how long that will take? I keep my gear in 2 carry-on bags and one checked bag. I repurposed a couple of small Alice packs for our car so that my wife can get to safety. Not for 72 hours but for 2 weeks, using water filters, Chlorine Dioxide tablets, shelter, trauma kit, crappy food, layers of security to protect herself in my absence and everything else we could imagine. Thanks for sharing. I love your mindset.

    Loved the video. I have a certain EDC (pocket/belt carry), and a truck kit that includes a GHB (10 Cs), among other things. But I really don't have a BOB or INCH bag....just my normal camping stuff. Plan #1 is always staying put here where I have a family network in place. Rural area here....lots of water, farm/ranch land, woods, livestock and plenty of HOT weather. So, bugging in is our plan.

That is impossible with only on foots, too much snow. Needed skis at least. I use USA military large molle 2 frame backpack. That is big backpack. In summer time i can use lightweight bug out bag. But winter is the killer.

    Nice thoughts, However my priorities end at the getting home point. At my age (74) and with my mobility issues, every thing hinges on getting home where my supplies, ammunition, expanded security tools (weapons) , shelter, and resources are. Home is where I have a wood burning fireplace, a generator, a well for water, and adequate food supplies for at least 90 days and my wife is always there. She is a good shot with firearms, a good cook, and gardener and we have a high location on our semi rural cul de sac. The car borne 72 hours bag and my trekking poles along with my CCW and the vehicle itself make it my go to place.

    I keep my INCH bag (an Osprey 75), which is basically my only bag, in my vehicle, which is never more than a short walk away. If I'm at work I try to drive home to our suburban house; if I make it, then great (we have plans from there), and if I don't then I put on my INCH bag, abandon my vehicle, and head for the wild. We prep for societal collapse, but this could work for lesser emergencies too. One down side, and I'm sure there are others, is if my vehicle is stolen :( I'd have to buy another bag and all the stuff I keep inside. There are also other supplies in my vehicle aside from in the INCH bag that I'd use before abandoning the vehicle and / or try to bring along too.

    Great work sir The 4 bag set up to me is about blending in your environment church/movies/family event or even a bank as well as the office and so on In Many public places a backpack is not always accepted or could be bulky and draw attention
    A shoulder bag or Sling bag is more socially acceptable
    And if in an sere situation you can cache your own gear splitting up your 4 packs on a trail extending resources for later use and if you break bone in the arm or shoulder a backpack my be unable to carry with stealth so continually down sizing as you situation may change
    Unseen
    Bags
    Small
    Medium
    Large
    Xl
    Gives more options just my take thank you sir for choosing to be a teacher in the fight and quest for freedom

  • @jamesaritchie1

    First, to me, and to everyone I know in this area, a "go bag" is something we keep hanging next to the door, and it's for fun, not for bugouts. It's for when we get home three hours before dark, and we want to go hunting, fishing, or even on an all night trip.
    Nor do any of us call a seventy-two hour bag a bugout bag. Not in our circles, anyway. But we don't have seventy-two hour bags, so I guess it doesn't matter. To use, a bugout bag equips you for much, much longer than seventy-two hours. Up to several months, if you do it right.
    And INCH bag is forever, and is nothing but a bugout bag with more tools.
    To me, there are only two bags that fit these scenario. . A true bugout bag, and a true with extra tools, meaning INCH bag.
    We can get to our primary bugout location with a forty-five minute walk. Our secondary is a four hour walk, and chances are high that we can reach either without being seen most of the year. I'm still taking my full bag because it's always possible both these locations could be compromised, and the third sight is a much longer walk.
    And I have a son who drive a truck for a living, and he might be many hundreds of miles from home. His needs are different from those of the rest of the family.
    As for an INCH bag, I prefer to have several INCH locations that are already stocked with tools, food, and everything else. There seems to be a mentality that everyone is going to bugout alone, or that everyone in a group is going to be able to carry an INCH bag. This isn't the military and little children can't even carry all the food they'll need, and grandpa and grandma will be lucky to be able to travel in a car, let along at a brisk walk. They sure aren't going to be carrying an INCH bag, and probably not even a Bugout bag, or anything else. They might not even be able to carry all their medications.
    When I was young, I could survive in the wilderness with only a knife. Now I'm not positive I could survive with a Abrams tank towing a portable Texas Steakhouse. Well, okay, I probably could survive reasonably well with just bugout gear, but if the rest of the family can't make it, then neither will I. Simple as that. We're a family now, and we'll still be a family then.
    Too damned many people are planning to bugout out, or INCH out, with nowhere to go. They think they're all going to survive in the wilderness. This is NOT going to happen. Period.
    Will the government try to help us? Will it do the best it can under the circumstances? Absolutely. If the government is still around, and if the government isn't behind the problem. The plain, hard truth is the government is the only chance most people are going to have.
    There's a song called, "Best of Intentions", where a man never manages to keep all the promises he made to his wife when they were first married, but he always had the best of intentions. I think this may actually be about our government. Every time the screw us, it was with the best of intentions.

    I think if I had my backpacking/camping bag and enough food caches in place, I would be OK. Now I just need to emplace 1 food cache each month for a year. Then run a training simulation for 6 months (between jobs) to work the plan and evaluate strengths and weaknesses. Then mitigate the weaknesses and rebuild the caches. Plan B is to have a red bag filled with a lot of cash and numerous passports stashed in a Swiss Bank.

    Frustrated with current market offerings, we're fleshing out a design for a layered pack that amounts to an INCH kit. In addition to the pack, we're working on a set of mods for "normal" clothing for what I call Enhanced EDC (EEDC). Seasonal layers are quick change and "limpet" onto/into the core EEDC and is very "grey". Part of the design challenge is reversable/modular, i.e. pull modular components out, reverse bag (change outer appearance), remount it to frame and replace modular gear components. Frame design is currently internal, but working on a hybrid to link up with Kifaru style frames with good support.
    In addition, we have a design in development for a cart for transporting injured, gear and/or young kids. One of the cart options includes a positive pressure cabin for kids and/or pet in the event of heavy smoke or other.
    We're in W.Montana and could use another experienced set of eyes to T&E some of these concepts.
    Any advice is welcome.

  • @genewest4661
    @genewest4661 6 років тому +1

    I hesitate to chide you on your video, when you have so much good information...but I have to say that the idea of the INCH bag being any more than an augmented weekend GHB is a bit if a stretch. There is this meme in the prepping world that with knowledge and a backback, you can go to the woods and start over. That's fantasy, and can lead people into making bad decisions. (Chris "Into the Wild" McCandless for example) To make it more than two weeks (if you're bringing tools) or three weeks (minimal to no tools) with the contents of a backpack is an achievement. My INCH bag is a 16' tool trailer with a bed, kitchen, tools, clothes and up to a 2 yr. food supply. I'd suggest reframing the conversation towards preplacement of supplies, as you mentioned, or having a larger concept of what the "bag" is; a Ford F250 with a topper? A van loaded down with the essentials? 55 gallon barrels buried in place? Thanks, and respect for your efforts.

    New subscriber. Love the channel but got a question about caches... I've always been worried about dropping caches in places, mainly due to where I live and the population, people seeing me at work etc..
    I live in The Peoples Republic of Commiefornia, Southern Communist Sector In the high desert, Close to Big Bear Mountain, Lake Arrowhead etc.. Were pretty heavily populated. I do plan on bugging IN, in a SHTF scenario, unless it's just too unsafe for me to have the family here then we would be out. With that said, I am working on a bugout location, BUT, how do you suggest going about digging and planting caches in this type of semi urban desert/mountain environment with people EVERYWHERE???
    I KNOW if I were to try to drop caches, I'd be seen, not because I'm sloppy, I'm no green beret but have trained with green berets and seals and recon a lot through an ex military group that trains together to stay sharp.. so I know more than the average civilian. But I digress, I just dont know what the best plan of action would be in this scenario with people everywhere.
    Obviously I could go way out of my way and make it happen, but that would consist of making a trip up into the mountains off the beaten path, which is fine, but I want something more quickly accessible. In a SHTF I need to be able to conserve energy, food n water, stay out of site, keep my foot print to a minimum so I'm not tracked etc, having to move to far exposes me and the family to that. anyways,you get the idea, sorry for rambling.. just looking for some good advice and never though about it until just watching this video.. Anyways, thanks.

    great video, i had to watch it twice; my backpack is my main pack for bugging out & survival, it has compartments and enough room for supplies, should something happen and i need to get out quick, there's even a compartment that designed for a camel water pack, but since i'll have other means for carrying water, i can use that that compartment to store and carry some MRE's,i do have a duffel bag i could us if necessary. i notice you mentioned the adirondacks, you would prefer going north versus south where the temps would be more on the warmer side, even during winter, should something happened, i would think the warm climate would be better for survival even during the winter months; course very few people will venture into the mountain areas because of the cold, along with it being a more difficult place to survive in.
    when prepping for a bugout survival situation, are your thoughts more or less along the line of what's yet to come, current events, or something else all together; as you said, there's really no way to for see coming events, one should be prepare for when it happens and not if, regardless of what that situation might be.

    I was such a lucky gal. I backpacked with a Special Forces dude for at least a dozen incredible trips. I just paid attention, everything made sense, common sense. Back in those days we actually dipped out cups into streams for the yummiest water, of course this was alpine but I'd NEVER do that again!
    The number one thing I learned was AWARENESS. Always being aware, daydreaming allowed if you can multi task well. HANGING your food far from your sleeping area! 15' high and 15' away from the tree. People are idiots that do not do this! Unbelievable how critical this is!
    This awareness is constant and becomes part of your life even in the CITY. These stupid PHONES need to go! I bring one now because I can text for help and locations. There is NO awareness happening when one is plugged into these phones. There is no appreciation of the communication happening all around you when in the wilderness.
    Having one bag would be everything I'd would want for 2 days or 2 weeks or even 2 months or shoot! 2 years!! Just having one bag with tools and shelter and COFFEE (and drinking filter straws) is all I'd need to be happy and thriving. Water and food are heavy and dangerous to be carrying around.
    btw, WHY use instant coffee when the real thing is just as easy and just as light? A plastic drip funnel with a few filters and ground coffee beans doesn't take up much weight at all and worth every gram of weight!
    Do you have a video on tracking? I could use a bit of continuing education refresher on tracking. I had incredible tracking classes...to the extent we were shown that it is possible for a real tracker to carve back the topsoil and duff to see track left decades ago. LEARNING to track is how one RE learns the language of the wilderness. And the best way to know how to NOT leave track!
    Huggs! I've just found you and gotta go watch your videos!! What kind of SOIL DO YOU have where you visit the wilderness? My goodness? Sand? Volcanic Ash? I hate government anything but one thing I would make happen if I were Queen would be people going through a process to get a wilderness acceptance LICENSE.
    Ugh, Hate SAYING that but people think the wilderness is like someone's back yard and I have shown people how dangerous their own back yards can be if you don't know the physics, botany, biology, soils, plant associations, hydrology...I've gotten clients to move their damn play yard/equipment BACK to the home and off the back fence butting up to a greenway...by showing them the track and hair and scat of cougar, bobcat and bear!
    People get lost! 20 feet from where they park their car. Unbelievable. And that costs us taxpayers every time a NEWBIE wants to go walk in the forest...and gets lost! and those newbies aren't as destructive as the 'hunters' we have nowadays!
    And the ATVs!, snowmobiles...who don't know how to FIX those machines out in the wilderness. We humans have lost knowledge of the real world that our parents used to teach us. We humans should not be out in the UNADULTERATED wilderness without a guide or a license that shows a bit of education for self survival. Ugh. That is a fact.
    Guides would be a wonderful niche for us wilderness officianados. Rich people who are smart should hire a wilderness officianado (I can't believe I spelled that correctly)...expert! Pay money for an experience of learning and appreciation and caring of our real world. THE REAL WORLD.
    Gosh, learning about the birds and squirrels who fire off warnings for other critters or humans if they understand the language! Knowing how to AVOID taking a hike in the wilderness when on the menstrual rag!!?? How to wear bells and when not to wear bells. How to NOT take juicy steaks into the wilderness UNLESS that steak is the FIRST night's meal. How to get all food hung properly and this is no small task! How to leave NO sign that you were ever there.
    Ha! To be able to EAT in the forest without killing oneself is sorta kinda critical? After a few days when the food has run out it would be nice to know what to eat and more importantly WHAT NOT TO EAT!
    The poor boy in the book, the movie called 'Out In the Wilderness'...is that correct? He found the 'monster' that lies in all of us. He got too hungry, too thin, his heart was being used for fuel...the body when starving uses the highest caloric needing tissue for fuel NOT FAT! And Muscle gets dumped first when starving. The first muscle to go is the HEART muscle. Karen Carpenter was literally clinically grossly obese and died of heart failure.
    Most of us civilized coddlefied humans have no idea the monster each one of us has inside. That monster comes out when thirsty and there is no water to be had for many miles. I found mine when I woke and found my friend I took along for a horse packing trip had given our horses ALL of our drinking water. That ridge HAD NO WATER except for puddles my chocolate lab drank and cooled off in...sadly, not a one to be found.
    All night without water and then no a drop ANYWHERE to be had for at least 8 hours of high intensity work? I felt closely I could have KILLED THAT FRIEND!! Just try being thirsty knowing there is no water to be had ANYWHERE and knowing it would be at least 8 hours more until water was available.
    I HAD a filter straw but by golly, NO MUDDY PUDDLES! My dogs were not happy, I wasn't happy at all but the horses who are similar to camels were happy. I literally cried off and on all the way home and that is NOT my identitiy in the wilderness. I lost my attention span and alertness! I knew that ridge very well and always imagined dragging 50 gallon barrels filled with water to store here and there up on that ridge. But shoot, hadn't done even that!
    I got to know that monster inside me a little bit. I'm very very good at preparing but I didn't prepare for stupidity, ignorance and that was my fault! I can't imagine what it would be like to have that monster come out because I was starving, like that boy in "Out in the Wilderness" Is that the name of that movie, a real life movie? He was incapable of moving around much less thinking about what plant he was eating. The death of him, so sad! And he knew more than most humans!!
    In other words, a person READING about survival will be at a total loss in the wilderness. That person will need Search and Rescue! Get out there and BE prepared! Always remember for the good of the wilderness and to remain invisible, never leave any track that you were there. If you are throwing litter around I think you should die in the wilderness. Period.
    I swear, if you go out in the wilderness with no map or compass you deserve to die...sorry, but true! My favorite way to navigate the wilderness or rather blaze a trail out of 7 or 8 different methods is to drag a rather heavy stick through the wilderness. Leaves a great trail...unless it is snowing or raining!

    I am a bit late on this one but ...... question, can you do something for us truck drivers. Some dayes i am 100 miles from home some days i am a 1000 miles from home. I never know from lode to lode where i am going too end up.
    I have VERY limited space in my truck and a big bag is cousing some problems ie.... i am as of now pretty much sleeping with it lol. I don't wont too keep it in the passenger seat because a expensive bag that is full of stuff would couse some unwanted attention.
    I am trying to cover most of the import stuff, food , water, fier, med ect ..... the bag is getting rather large, most of it is food and water.
    I am planning on not getting home if things get REALLY bad and i am 1000 miles from home , 100 i could maybe. But don't think it will happen.
    Ideas would be helpful a hood video on truck drivers would be cool because not a lot out there on it.

    I think a lot of what you need as far as how many bags what type of bags are very individual in depend on your life style and how and where you work. For a person who drives to the office every day Parks the car spends all day at the office then drives home, seems like all they need is a regular bug out bag, just stored in the car. For somebody like myself who drives to work in the morning, gets in a semi, and drives anywhere from 40 to 100 miles from home, and then returns back to my personal vehicle at the end of the day, shifting bags all the time is a pain in the ass. How about somebody that rides the subway to work everyday? Are they going to carry a bug out bag with him everywhere, I doubt it. The next question / problem to deal with in solving the bag dilemmas is how far from home he might be on a typical day. If you are a 5 minute walk from work, you do not really need anything to get home, any extra gear or protection you have is a bonus. For somebody like me that could wind up as far as a couple hundred miles away on any given day, that's potentially a 2-week walk home. That requires a little more than your typical everyday carry, get home bag, or even 72-hour bag. On a two-week track you can't possibly carry enough water, and even enough food would be difficult.
    Trying to solve these two limits for myself I have set up bug out / INCH bags for me and my family and keep those at home. I have a second bug n / INCH bag I keep in my work vehicle so I don't have to load and unload my bag everyday, I don't have to worry about it it's just there if I ever need it.
    If I use public transit commuting to work, I would probably keep a small everyday bag with me, and if possible a more keep a complete bug in / inch bag at work.

    Funny how primitive man survived without any of this stuff. I learned as a kid you better build your knowledge because all said and done at the end of the day that is what is going to carry you the furthest. All the stuff you can tote to make life somewhat easier is great but you need to know how to walk out the door with your clothes on your back and survive. but even with that being said making stone tools is hell and using them is hard work in itself many times so always tote a knife. I usually have one in my pocket and one on my side.
