Get rid of the life straw and get a silcock key. Majority of the time you'll be around buildings thus have water. If your ever out for that long to ever use the life straw then you have to reconsider what your doing in the first place. You can always bum/steal water someplace or pop in to a store. wrap some duct tape around your lighter.
The LifeStraw is a little overkill, but it weighs practically nothing which is why I threw it in.
Seems like a whole lotta pack for what you're looking to accomplish. Also, there doesn't seem to be any organization or system to what you carry, or why, or how you stow it...just seems like you threw a bunch of stuff into the bag, in various pouches and compartments. My advice is to take a step back and think about what you carry, and why, and how you intend to use it. For example, why carry a spork if all you have is nuts and bars? Why carry a nalgene bottle if all you have for water purification is a LifeStraw? A metal container would be better, so you can boil. Or carry purification tabs. A paracord bracelet looks good, but if you need a hank of cord in a hurry, good luck un-braiding that thing quickly. Pre-cut lengths are a better bet: one 25 ft; two 15 ft; four 10 ft; eight 5 ft; twelve 2 ft. You can make each length a different color to make it easy to distinguish them, and stow them in hanks in a pouch or sack. Your first aid should be either at the top of your pack, or MOLLE'ed to the outside, and just curious...did you get trained to use a chest seal or a tourniquet? You should.
Anyway, you get the idea. I ain't trying to be snarky or critical, just trying to get you to think about your plan and your preparedness a little harder. We've all gotta be ready for whatever shit comes down the pipe these days! Good luck to you!
Thanks for the advice. Out of everything in the pack I’ve never used the LifeStraw, vent seal, tourniquet (have been trained to use both), and the paracord bracelet. Everything else I’ve used in normal situations with different levels of frequency (be surprised how often the spork has come in handy). Since I don’t want to repack it every time I leave the house, I set it up to handle a wide range of situations. This may lead to some waste, but I like the versatility. Good comment about the organization. Haven’t found a good
method to organize better that doesn’t add a lot of weight. Might have to investigate that a bit more.
Good basic starter kit ---keep building on that to enhance your survivability eg. night vision, armor, non-lethals, add a fixed blade--not sure if you carry a handgun---but extra ammo preferable magazines plus holster and light/laser
Thanks for the advice. Always working to build up the cache
I would add a portable phone charger along with your wall charger. You may be out and about and need to contact others or call for help and could wind up with a dying phone battery. Even a solor powered phone charger is a good option.
Good call and I recently added a small solar powered battery pack.
Nice video what was the name of your multi tool
Thanks, it’s a Leatherman Surge
Not sure how useful a lock for your gym locker will be for a get home bag
It’s a Get Home / Work bag which is why things like a laptop, flash drive, and gym lock are in there.
Who makes that wallet?
