My main advice to you is to not believe you'll survive for months with a go bag. You can use it for months, but it's main job is to get you from A to B. Before you leave for B, calculate how far and how long, then tailor the bag for that one trip. When you get to B, then do the same for the next trip. As you go along, you'll figure out what you can do without and pack accordingly. Use the 10 Cs for starters. Be safe.
Bear spray I know you don’t live in the north but what if you get displaced or you need to use it on a Texas mountain lion and you can set a bear trap spray wherever you sleep I’ve seen bears in Mississippi in the south delta region
Dump the yeti and anything double or triple walled container wise, it won’t boil water over a fire like a single wall. Also not a bad idea to ruck with the bag loaded up, no better way of dumping the useless stuff when you realize how heavy it is to move on foot over distance!
@@LonestarCivilian Those Dude Wipes are bad for EVERYTHING, other than bathroom stuff, your finger will go right through them, I use combat wipes/they have worked good for me. You definitely have SOME things; I've been doing this for 8 years, and I STILL think of items that would be good to have, but everything I can think of, as of right now, I have, and I have multiple bags too, an urban survival bag, wilderness survival bag, I have a blackout bag, I have bags with canned foods, I have bags with different types of stoves, propane, butane, stoves that are designed to be ran from twigs/debris/rocket stoves, alcohol stoves, a lot of my bags also have a lot of the same type items in them as well, I have a dry bag, I have a fishing bag, I have multiple types of communication as well, I also have solar and mobile starlink, I have multiple tool bags, Electronics/laptops/work/gaming bags, I have SSDs/documents physical and digital, in multiple bags, bags for books, every book that I have, I also have a digital version too, same for music and movies/blurays as well, I have a bag that has cases/kits, sewing kits, leather working kits, a kit designed to handle surgeries, a watch repair kit and so on, all of these bags are in one place, ready to grab, if need be/EVERYTHING I own, can go in a bag/I have bags for it, or I don't own it, with in reason, im not talking about my 55inch/65inch/98inch TVs and furniture, refrigerators, washer machines and dryers, im just talking about, with in reason, I also have my EDC back pack, other EDC bags, depending on the situation, I also have my on person EDC/things that I wear, or that go in pockets, or on my belt/anything that doesn't go in a bag, and I also have things that are designed/specifically designed/gotten for the house, a tool area/other equipment area, separate from my bug out/leave the house bags, easy accessible items, for everyday use items, meaning those items I would leave, but I have replacements in bags, and they are designed to make my life easier, on a day to day bases/they allow me to save time, and also no matter what I should have anything I need regardless, I also have kits in my vehicles as well, I also have solar in my vehicle as well, so the idea is to think out all possible scenarios and try to cover your self, for all situations.
Good start and good mindset for the most part. The biggest thing I would stress is a little more effort with the medical. Out of the few things you absolutely don’t want to go cheap on, medical is at the top. Invest in some quality trauma gear and learn to use it. Never go cheap on life saving gear! Anyhow, you are on the right track brother!
thats a good start! remember 2 is 1, and one is none!
Thank you sir 🫡 Take care

Also you need a tree cottage or bed to keep ticks off you carry mint seed so you can grow bug repellents because malaria.
I invested in a dry bag back pack. My essentials go in it. Rain, snow, water areas..guaranteed my main items are dry!

Kitchen sized plastic trash bags and tape to keep your footwear and legs dry if you have to walk through streams of water
