Being a Texan I know the sun can cook your skin and I don’t know if you have Texas Death Fairies(mosquitoes) in AZ. Would be wise to include sunscreen and repellent. Great vid 👍
I agree, I’m from Utah and it can get really hot and really cold. Southern Utah down by Arizona and Nevada can get scorching. I agree with the sunscreen and the the repellent! anyway have a good day bros!
I know this comment is old but mosquitos aren't really that bad in AZ at all unless you're really close to standing water or near a riverbottom. Monsoon season kinda makes them a little worse depending on the amount of rain but nowhere near somewhere more tropical like parts of Texas.
Nice little kit similar to mine bar the pistol. I have been through many bags in the last 40 years both military and civilian and can honestly say that 5:11 are head and shoulders above most other bags so much so I have two Rush 24's and one 12. Great video 🤠🇦🇺
I have 3 of those shemagh in my various packs and hiking bags, because they’re SO versatile. Sometimes it’s just nice to have a clean place to lay out your lunch or your gear, sling something up, extra towel… very very handy.
I appreciate your suggestions. One thing I keep in my bag is a orange reflexive safety vest vest l, makes you easy to be found at night and low sticks. Can you tell me again recounting the water filtration bottle you use again?
Maybe so when you DO make it home, kissing your (wife/husband/kids/dog etc) will be better? But yes, for a 24-48 hour get home...not so much. I do recommend dental floss, having something stuck in your teeth is distracting at best, painful at worst. I've also stitched with the waxed kind.
I'll just say - the bag in this video is more of a 72 hour get home bag. Too much unnecessary stuff for 24 hours. But there is still some good and usable advice in this vid. If you have a large backpack stuffed full of things it will draw unwanted attention to yourself. As stated, you need water, get yourself a small CamelBak type pack. Or a small sling day pack. Most of the items listed in the vid can be stowed away in your vehicle and used as needed for the situation and season you are in. Make changes and adjustments as the weather changes. The circumstance being described here is a SHTF scenario. Most of us don't live in the Arizona desert. You might be trying to get home from your office that is 25-45 miles from home. If society is still functioning, STAY WITH YOUR VEHICLE, otherwise get steppin'. Instead of multiple solar chargers, get a good portable/rechargeable battery to recharge your phone. Keep downloaded maps on the phone. Better yet have paper maps in the car - phone might not work at all. Things could start to get edgy real quick. If you don't want to carry a firearm then at least get some pepper spray to carry with you. Just my simple observations. Be smart, Travel light.
Better off with a revolver in this situation. A good 357 would be good to hunt with , and self defense. Plus if you are trained the way your suposed too, in a force on force encounter, you never police you mags. You drop them and leave them where they are, until the threat has been stopped. If you had to run and gun dropping your mags along the way and unable to go back, your screwed if you lose all.
Important to have a good quality bag. Cheap bags from a big box store look fine, but shoulder straps are not very durable, especially when you are carrying any kind of weight. Shoulder straps tear loose, and you're left carrying the bag by hand.
Nice video without all the fantasy crap of roving bands of cannibals popping up fifteen minutes after an event. I have the same pack (a little different contents) and you can't beat it.
A lot of these get home bags are more like bugout bags. If shtf I’m getting home to my family which means I’m running. Since I’m running I don’t wanna be carrying a bunch of crap I really don’t need. Water, my gun, a knife, a flashlight and a snickers and I’m getting home fast. I’ve slept out in my backyard on a chair a few times lol so I don’t need a shelter and I’m def not stopping to cook anything. Just my opinion
You’re not wrong, and everyone’s scenario is different. Some routes and timelines may require less, some more. Fast and nimble is a valuable consideration. Thanks for watching and for the input.
2. The wind up radio vs. the 2 way radio. Aside from the one being wind-up (in a pinch) and not needing batteries, isn't there some redundancy there? If I wanted to shave off some weight, I'm inclined to go toward the 2 way radios. Wouldn't they pull in all the weather and emergency freqs that the walkies do? Thoughts?
3. The battery pack with solar charger. Have you ever re-charged the battery from scratch via solar? How long does it take to do so? I found many devices like this with great reviews but many of the negative comments state that the solar element of it is pretty much just worthless. I concluded that all the glowing reviews came from folks who charged it via AC adapter. Would love to hear of your experience with this particular model. If the solar cell is genuinely capable of replenishing the battery, I love to have some make/model details pretty please.
I'm interested in the same thing. It sounds like the solar panels are of a better quality than the ones on the $20 survival radios. If nothing else, you can still charge them from ac & dc. 20-30,000 mah (miliamps per hour) is still darn good.
It takes forever to charge it to full on the solar panel (like days) However, you might get enough for a few extra calls or texts from it. The big thing is remember to keep the bank fully charged instead of throwing it in the trunk and forgetting about it.
There's just to much stuff in that bag that's not needed. For one I don't use Band-Aids I use duck tape works just a good if not better just put Pine sap on the wound and duck tape and your good 2nd the water bottle you should be using a Grayl water bottle it's the best on the market and there's a few more things but you should watch Dave Canterbury and get more dirt time then you won't need that much stuff
Sharing ideas is very important. However, in the lower desert, he'd have to walk a LONNNGGG way to find a pine tree. I use Gorilla/Duck tape also, it's great on blisters, patching tears, etc. I also agree that a lot of these EDC prep videos focus on the tactical (nothing wrong with that) but no so much on bushcraft. I believe in blending the two. My pack is set up with a LOT less, and to cover both. Basically, I am set for water, fire making, a crude shelter, gloves, 1 pair of wool socks, ESEE Izula 2 fixed blade knife (NONE BETTER) poncho, first aid kid. I personally choose to bring an edc pistol, as I see that as a requirement in this scenario, but we're all different.
I’m not saying its unwise to have this bag. But 95 times out of 100 you are better to stay with your vehicle unless an immediate threat drives you from it. Most folks have no idea how far 20 miles is to walk in the hot sun. If your in the middle of nowhere they have no Idea how hard it is to spot a man alone vs a vehicle. Be smart and stay with the vehicle.
I Will Keep My Black Military Assault Backpack And My Black Military Drop Leg Pouch For Survival And Doomsday Prepping. I Like To Buy A Black Military Water Bottle Shoulder Pouch.
I urge you to check out goal zero solar panels the solar panel charger that you have is a piece of shit I’m just letting you know I bought one of those and I used it in the recent Texas winter storm and it didn’t work half the time
Why the hell would you want to capture it and eliminate it? the S hit the fan remember? This is not the time to "go green" yes, you may make little Greta cry, or the Indian on the hill (depending on your age) but dude... you're moving, what, are you going to carabiner bags of your feces onto your get home bag?
@@adamb.6791 Hahaha - Can tell you have no prior military service….. You’ll be the first to get Cholera from contained ground water - I’ll split your gear with my friends when your upchucking for hours, dehydrate and dead…..
@@frankcessna7345 Thank you for your well-wishes. I agree it is vital if you are stationary, but in a get home 24-48 hr scenario, you ideally are moving toward your goal, and not camped out. You are correct, no military, but many years as a very remote area LEO and SAR. Hygiene is vitally important for health and morale.
@@adamb.6791 I carry a roll of compactor plastic garbages in my packs for that reason. Use them then tie them off, set them aside and keep moving home or to bugging out. Far less likelihood of leaks and the waste can be destroyed at a later date after the earth quake, etc. if your sheltering at home with family there will be a ton of waster until FEMA or National Guard incendiary furnaces make it to the area. Use a 55 gallon drum with dozens of holes driller into the loser portion. Dump you poo in their - add diesel fuel and burn…. Best wishes.
@@frankcessna7345 Thanks for that! We did something similar after Hurricane Katrina. Had no power, water for 18 days. Your idea is better. Man that was a long time ago now that I think of it. I don't think we'd have luck competing with our cat for the litter box ;)
EXCELLENT video. Gave me some great ideas but I have a few questions. Will break them up so U can answer separately. 1. What was the word you used to describe the tactical scarf? Would love to do some homework on it if I could pronounce/spell it. :

Awesome I'm downloading this video watch it ontill I know everything. There nothing I could think about to add into the bag, thinks.
I appreciate your suggestions. One thing I keep in my bag is a orange reflexive safety vest vest l, makes you easy to be found at night and low sticks. Can you tell me again recounting
the water filtration bottle you use again?
A few months ago I added a 7.5-inch AR-15 pistol to my vehicle's GHB.
Very complete and well thought out set up but maybe I missed it, do you have a go fixed blade knife ?
Why, if you have a decent folder in your pocket you do not need the added weight.
Id swap the phone charger one for something that can jump start cars too .
I look to you for the BEST ADVICE, INFORMATION & TRAINING...Keep It Up. BTY, is there a way to view your Jan 8th YT video that was blocked?
Awesome stuff. Great things to think about, And to add on to my getting home bag, I also have the hellcat;) .
Wait...what camp stove is that? You should post links to Amazon
My EDC is a HELLCAT also in FDE just need my slide milled because I don’t have the osp model
Dude , screw that red dot - it’s not practical in a concealed carry situation .
Great video ! alot of good tips ! Thank you !
Of something goes wrong and I need to get home, brushing my teeth is gonna be the last of my concerns

🤣😂🤣😂 the space ship awesome!!
What's up with the volume buddy...a little annoying. Good items, just dissapointed there's no links in the description.
Awesome video!!
I clicked on this bc I also use a Hellcat in my GHB. I also use 5.11 products. LV6 for on body EDC & AMP72 for my car EDC kit.
30 seconds in tactical backpack. 🤔

Agreed
Thanks for you efforts, any chance you can provide a written list of what you put in your bag?
Very informative video . Have a question how much extra ammo ? 1 or maybe 2 extra mags ?
Ya 2 mags is good. Chances of needing them is slim to none.
Better off with a revolver in this situation. A good 357 would be good to hunt with , and self defense. Plus if you are trained the way your suposed too, in a force on force encounter, you never police you mags. You drop them and leave them where they are, until the threat has been stopped.

@@andog6092 You really going hunting, or are you trying to get home?
Important to have a good quality bag. Cheap bags from a big box store look fine, but shoulder straps are not very durable, especially when you are carrying any kind of weight. Shoulder straps tear loose, and you're left carrying the bag by hand.
Is there a list somewhere? I missed it I guess.
How do you or anyone like the solar power pack unit? Reviews I have read says it is not really solar???
Nice video without all the fantasy crap of roving bands of cannibals popping up fifteen minutes after an event. I have the same pack (a little different contents) and you can't beat it.
Great video. What are your thoughts on using a tactical backpack vs a non-tactical backpack as a get home bag?
Personally, I try to make my packs as non-tactical as possible. If it looks tactical, folks may assume I’m carrying, and I don’t want to be a target.
Great video thanks... What's with the mic I struggled to hear and had to turn volume up pretty high
