To all the women out there...this is how you should "train" your daughters. Make them go into the woods, camp out, hike, and be prepared. Screw all the shoe shopping.
Look up guy that lived north of Imlay Nevada and had his daughter live in desert for a year alone as teenager ,great interview with her ,his place is now tourist stop along side of I80
I am not being critical at all but the one thing everybody forgets to put in their car is a roll of toilet paper if you're stranded in your vehicle how do you go to the bathroom without a roll of toilet paper. Thanks for your videos you're awesome
ted meigel I always carry a bucket, plastic bags to line and toilet paper, however I do suffer from bowel issues and every now and then need an emergency facility.. I have in the past also used a folding spade and leaves, not pleasant or hygienic though
Make sure your crow bar isn't made of cast iron or cast aluminum. I have had tools shatter on me. I am a carpenter by trade. I had a hammer that was cast. It shattered in the cold. Also I had a crow bar that broke just from normal leverage being applied. Steel tools. Anyway stay clear of cast metal tools. Good video
Haha Same happened to me. I'm a carpenter too. I remember one of my friends from the canadian army had given me a cool-looking multitool (pliers-slash-swiss knife) and I gave it to my father who wanted to loosen a bolt..... he immediately shattered it with his bare hands. I said: " If this is what the canadian army is using we are screwed!"
Just out of curiosity, how did you get into bushcraft/survival? You are probably one of the most prepared people I have seen. You obviously are very knowledgeable in the woods, have good common sense and the ability to adapt to almost any situation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone.
Lilly you should add a towing strap in your car or a really strong rope like a dyneema rope. You could use it to be towed or tow someone else and you could tow that tree that you cut down out of the way. Great video keep up the good work!
Thanks Lilly! Another great video! One item I HIGHLY recommend is a vehicle window breaker. Get a good one, as some of the cheap imitations don't work. One of these tools may save your life in many different types of auto accidents. Or you may be able to save another persons life. Be sure to secure your window breaker somewhere in the front, so that it does not fly away and dissapear in an accident! The one I use is a pull apart device, and I have it secured on a key ring, attached to one of my passenger headrest posts. A simple tug, and my tool is ready for use! Please remember to NEVER use these tools on your windshield! It has a special type of glass that will not shatter!
Thanks for sharing the roll on your channel, its made in Canada with pride, sourcing the best materials and providing fair wages to our seamstresses. Everyone will use it differently, I keep mine in my truck as well, its great for a campsite to keep gear off the ground as you say and organizer. The more you use it the more indispensible it becomes especially if youre a gear head like me. I had many women inquire about using it for female stuff i.e. make up etc (because thats just what one needs when shtf!). Its nice to see a survivalist ladies take on the roll! I see you have rice in your kit, have you tried mountain house? That stuff is so good I almost crave an emergency so I can eat it!
Well organized storage unit. Looks like you have everything your need.. Note, put something in for personal protection. Electrical zip ties come very handy. A tarp also comes in handy incase you have to get on the ground or shelter.
Very informative! Now I'm inspired to make my car bug out ready. My only suggestion is that you supplement your basic first aid kit with a small trauma kit (tourniquet, pressure dressing, compressed gauze, chest seal, and trauma shears) which can be kept close at hand in the door storage or under the driver's seat. A trauma kit could be a lifesaver in the event of an arterial bleed or a penetrating (sucking) chest injury.
Great video, thank you Lilly! Canadian Prepper's bug out roll is so well made and awesome!! I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about keeping your gear organized. Just received mine, really, really awesome!! Love you guys, keep up the great videos.
I'm 40 and never owned a car... but I've walked miles out of the bush when the gas ran out, in the dark I recommend a shoulder strap for the Fuel can & bugout role it looks like it has D rings for that. nice gear !
I love the idea of the rolling bag. My trunk always has basic emergency gear because I live in earthquake/fire country and lived through a major earthquake where we had no electricity, gas or clean water for several days. And recently had to evacuate due to the largest wildfire in state history. So I take my emergency pack seriously. I appreciate your tips. Keep up the good work.
Add some maps, flat tire fix kits , air pump and slime. Love the crowbar in the glove box and the folding saw. 100 points for a good fire extinguisher. Plan on looking for that roll up thing, you have it very well stocked
Yeah you're right.. the fire extinguisher is a must have...... I also have a good first aid kit, wool blanket,, umbrella,, flares, bottle jack, shovel, chains, and everything else what you mentioned is a good idea.. thank you for sharing.. Robert Jr NJ here United States of America.
I would suggest to take buckwheat instead of rice. At the worst you do not need boiling water to prepare buckwheat: just add cold water and leave it for a few hours.
I lived in Germany for 6 years and it is mandatory for all civilians that are in a vehicle as she stated. If they witness an accident, they are required by law to stop and assist or report their eyewitness information.
Hey Lillie, just a word to the wise, I have had those cheaper booster cables refuse to actually boost the dead battery because the cables aren't good enough gauge to transfer the necessary boost, please make sure you use at least 6 gauge cables. It's very frustrating to try to boost with poor cables. Love your videos by the way. Cheers from Canada
Great load out, you had some great lights there but didn't mention a head lamp, which is really useful when trying to change a wheel or carry out any task using two hands. It is good you have a fire extinguisher, but consider mounting it in the passenger compartment, as in a crash the boot lid may not be able to open, and if you are trapped in the car you can hand the extinguisher to anyone outside. I mount mine across the seat frame on the passenger side. A multi tool can be useful for minor repairs, and some spare fuses. You had your towing eye easily accessible, but a rolled up tow strap in the boot means anyone who happens past in a vehicle can give you a tow, or you can tow them. Keep up the great videos!
Good video Lilly. You really shouldn't carry gasoline in the passenger compartment of your car. If you get rear ended in an accident the container could burst spraying gasoline all over possibly causing a fire. That would be a horrible way to go.
Hi Lilly ... you can use a fuel stabilizer in your fuel to make it last much longer but the best thing is to use it in the car after about a year and refill with fresh fuel. I would add a few things to your car kit though. First, I would add two of those 10l containers with water. You can't have too much water. I would also have a real good pump filter from a company like Katadyn so that you can refill those containers from dubious sources like ponds, drains and streams. Also, a small chainsaw, a good hammer, a cordless drill (or a range of tools which all carry the same battery pack), screws and nails can also be invaluable for various things including fast shelter building. A good axe and a shovel are always helpful too. The last thing that I would do is to install an inverter in your car, hard wired to the battery so that you can have regular mains current, 110/240v to plug your chargers, etc., into, especially your cordless tool chargers. The ultimate would be to install a 2 battery system to your car so that all of your extras run off of the second battery and your original car battery is not troubled. This is particularly useful as you then also have a spare car battery in the case that your original battery fails.
Your bug out kit should include a raincoat with hood, rubber boots and the all important microphone. With those 3 things you can stand in the eye of the storm in complete safety. With all the reporters who do exactly that, not a single one has been injured or killed.
Hello Lilly, great vid ! Just one tip : You should consider attaching everything that is just hanging around your car (like on your door's pocket) : if you get in an accident, all your important stuff will be all over the place, and may even hurt you !
Thank you for posting this video! Awesome timing for this topic, my daughter and I are packing our bug out vehicle today, in case we have to evacuate soon, as a large forest fire is bearing down on our small mountain town in the PNW. My 3 year old LOVES your videos, and is now super excited to help pack our "Bug Out" vehicle, just like her hero Survival Lilly! :)
Glad to see you packed sugar for energy. People often forget that they need salt as well. Those little foil packs of chicken soup mix work well and keep you cheerful.
Lilly, I wish more people would watch your videos in the US. I used to work for 9-1-1 (euro 1-1-2) for seven years and we used to get emergency telephone calls from stranded motorists. Most of those telephone calls were not real emergencies and could have been handled by the motorist, if they had been as prepared as you are. On another subject: Come build a shelter in West Virginia!
Thank u Lily for making this vid a class 4 hurricane is going to hit me so I am thinking of transforming my car to help me make it through the storm thank u so much
Vlad Midan I can’t I live on the sixth floor of an apartment building and I can leave my are so I think it’s better to transform my car fo during or after the storm
I wasn't aware of the Thrulite Charger. The chargers that I have and like very much only use AC Voltage. This one will also use DC to charge batteries. Thanks for the information SL. Your doing a great job !
Oh and a small shovel..if she's stuck in a blizzard..gotta keep that tailpipe clear..or c02 gonna get ya when running the car for warmth.an army surplus one would be fine..my uncle has one and he sharpened the edges and tip..makes a great self defense tool also.
good vedio .In 1973 I was coming back from Florida USA .everything I owned was in the car The battery was not secured I was looking for a gas station as I was about to run out of gas.after going in one direction with no gas station in site,I made a u turn in the street .the battery fell over on to the power steering hose .burnt threw it and cought fire as power steering fluid is flammable .Lucky I had a fire extinguisher and I knew Whare it was.I was able to put the fire out and continue home but with no power steering .you gave a very good tip ,every car needs a fire extinguisher because you never know what will happen. .
Great kit! I took a slightly different approach. Rather than a bug-out bag in me daily driver, I put together a get-home bag. Similar kit but not keyed toward leaving for a long period. More targeted for getting me home, on foot if necessary.
Boots and outdoor clothes need to added especially if you are in a cold environment. If you are driving back to home from work in your business attire, a suit or such, you need to change to outdoor clothing in case of any trouble with the car. Just to keep warm and to be able to walk away from the car.
I lolled, 😂 I don't know many cars that will accept a crow bar into the glove box compartment. I was waiting for lilly to pull a ladder out of the glovebox. 😂😂😂👍
1) Be like Lilly. Right weight, fit and confident. 2). Basic medicine. Vet salve, vet tape (self clinging)3) Dog food - you won't eat it until you are starving. 4) Compass - maps.
You will find that crowbar will not easily break the tempered glass side windows in an car. Breaking tempered glass needs a very point focused impact, preferably near a corner of the glass, to cause its breakage. Tempered glass is used because it is hard to break and when when it breaks it fractures into small pieces. Ordinary glass often has large pieces that can inflict serious cuts. I carry a product called ResqMe on my car key ring. ResqMe has other products to break tempered glass but I like the key ring model because it is always at hand for me or a front seat passenger. In an emergency you simply pull on it and it separates from the key in the car exposing a blade in a slit that can be used to cut a seat belt. To break the glass simply push the end against the glass. Pushing compresses an internal spring that then releases driving a hard pointed steel into the glass.

I saw the exquisite compartment roll from Canadian Prepper and have been drooling over it since. Now that I see how you use it and your valuable advice, I’m getting one. Thanks for your great channel. Cheers.
Great advice. In the event civilization collapses however I hope to be one of the first people to buy the farm. For those who wonder why, after a few weeks of playing "road warrior" you'll understand.
Well, there is prepping for personal emergencies (esp. if you like to travel alone, adventure out in the wilderness, etc.), prepping for temporary (but sometimes severe) emergencies such as natural disasters, and then there's prepping for an apocalyptic-esque scenario. Not everyone is prepping for *the* "Big One", but even for those that are it's sensible to have a more moderate cache of supplies on hand and in your vehicle.
An automatic center punch is a very good item to keep in your car for rescue/self rescue purposes. It is lightweight, very inexpensive and about the size of a pen/pencil.
Hi Lilly, I enjoy your videos and your tips are great. I think, our Vehicles are especially important things to consider. To have ready in an emergency. In reality, if we did have a need to "Bug Out". Most of us, would be caught on the Highway, in a long line of Traffic. This just happened in my State, TX, USA. Because of Hurricane Harvey and the resulting Floods. I have been carrying emergency gear, in my vehicles, since the 1970's. Probably, the most important thing. That, I have actually had to use, in an emergency. Was, a Fire Extinguisher (keep yours up to date, they do loose their propellant, over time). The first time, I had to use it. Was, because of an Engine Backfire. The Carburetor caught on fire. A Big fire. Not, just one of those common small Carb fires. That will burn them selves out, in less than a minute. I knew I had a Fire Extinguisher. So, I went to get it. First, I had to remember, where it was. Then, it was hard to get to. So, it took, what seemed like forever, to get it out. I did get it out in time and still had to use it to put out the Carb Fire. After that, I kept my Fire Extinguisher, near the Drivers Seat. Where I could get to it from there. Close enough to the Drivers Seat. That, if I were in an Accident and couldn't get out of the Car or Truck. I could still reach it. It's a good idea. To tie it down, or at least, put it under the Seat. So, it doesn't become a Projectile, in an Accident. It can take a while to fumble with keys or find the Open Trunk Lever, on newer cars. To open the Trunk, to get to your Emergency Gear. I keep most of my Gear in the Car or Cab of my Truck. Your mind, doesn't work as fast, as you may think it will, in a real emergency. Also, if your Car is on Fire. The last place you want to be. Is, at the rear of the Vehicle, where the Gas Tank is!:O Also, be prepared for a Break Down. This, can easily become an Emergency Situation. A Few Hand Tools are a must. Even if you are not Mechanically Inclined. Screw Drivers, Pliers and such, can save you, from being Stranded. I have pulled over to help people, at times, over the years. And they often, had no tools. And sometimes, Not even a Jack or Spare Tire. I had both. And Tire Plugs and some Fix a Flat, in a Can too. One of the most important things. I have had to use. To get back on the Road. Is water, for the Radiator (I carry 2 to 4 Gallons). I use old Anti-Freeze Jugs, for my Backup Radiator Water. I carry this, in Addition, to my Emergency Drinking Water. If your Engine over heats and spits out water. You are stuck, on the road. You will ruin your Motor, if you continue to run it or drive the Car. Unless, you have some Radiator Patch Tape or allot of Duct Tape. And Water, to put back in the Radiator. You are Stranded. I actually carry, Spare Parts, too. Old, but still ok... Fan Belts, Hoses Spark Plugs, etc. What ever, commonly wears out on your engine. In Texas, where I live. People die, every Summer, from the Heat. Some, cold days in the Winter, can kill you here too. So, like you. I also keep, a Sleeping Bag or two. And some Pillows, in case I want to go on a Spur of the Moment Camping Trip:) Can't sleep without my pillows;) I keep my Sleeping Bags, in the Back Seat. So, I can get to them easily. And in case I have an Accident and can't get out of the Vehicle. They are there, with me. This could save your life, if you drive off into a Ditch and get injured, in the Winter. Or hit a Sow Bank. And your Car can't be seen, from the road. This has happened, to people here, several times, here over the years. Keeping your Sleeping Bags or Blankets inside the Car. Keeps them Cleaner and Dryer. Than if you had to go out and get them out of the trunk, on a Rainy Night. Trunks, often Leak in Water too. For me, I have had times. Where, I got sick, while on the Road. And had to crawl in the Back Seat and sleep for a while. It was in Hot weather. So, the Pillows, at least, made me a bit more comfortable. Some other things, that I carry. Are Canned and Dry Food, Crackers, Cookies etc. That can stand up to the heat and cold, in the Car. Since 1992, my main Vehicle, has been a 1976 Chevy Blazer 4x4 Truck. It has large windows, all around it. So, the Sun, does burn up everything it shines on. I keep my food and eating utensils, in a small Lunch Cooler. This does help, quite a bit, in preserving your food. I have had some things stay in there for 10 years!:O And some canned food, in there for about 3 years. I know... I forgot:O The Sun, has finally disintegrated, the Cooler. After many years. So, I need a new one. Like you. I also keep a Backpack, ready to go. One, in the House with me and another, in the Truck. With some basic stuff, in them. Clothes and overnight stuff. Rope, String, Flash Light and Spare Batteries. Swiss Army Knife, Sizzlers, Paper Towels, Toilet Paper, Plastic Bags and First Aid Stuff. I keep my Pocket Knives, in my Pockets, at all times. My Hunting knives, stay in the House. They are keepsakes, from my Dad and Childhood. And for me, I keep Medicine. I am Diabetic. So, I need to keep some spare Meds, with me at all times. I keep some Meds, in a Pocket Pill Box too. Along with, some Glucose Tablets. Both, in my Pocket and my Back Pack. Anyone, could use the Glucose Tablets. They are much like a Candy, we have here, Called, Sweet Tarts. There good:) When I was younger. I lived on 1.5 Acres, in the Country. There was a Spring Fed Creek, on the Back and it was heavily Wooded. I lived, there for 9 years and love it. For a while, I camped in my back yard, every weekend, with my kids. It was the best camping spot, I ever had!:) I wish I still had the place... I would like to have even more Emergency Gear, with a Roll out Bag, like yours. And some of those, products you show, look great. I really like that Big Bow Saw, in your Trunk. And the Camping Gear too. Thanks for sharing, your knowledge with us:) Don
Great video Lilly.. I agree with some of the other comments... add a Tool box or bag, Wenches, Sockets, Pliers, Screw Drivers etc... for basic repairs if needed. Even add a repair manual, it would be helpful.
In America we have a product called Sta-Bil that you add to a can of gasoline so it lasts longer in storage. You still want to use it up and replace it regularly though, but not as often and if you forget one time that will give you some extra piece of mind.
Not sure what the winters are like where you live but for me here in Canada I always have a small folding shovel in my car incase I get stuck and need to dig my way out, and also maybe a small bag of non clumping kitty litter to help for added traction. Great video and some new ideas for my car kit.
I also carry a small diameter hand pump siphon in my truck among other items such as maps, tool kit, belts, lights, tire repair kit, 12 volt air compressor etc.. Most to all new vehicles have an anti siphon valve in the gas tanks but with a small diameter siphon you can bypass it with some manipulation. In a SHTF moment it could help with transferring fuel from a found vehicle to yours directly as well into your gas can.
Rope and Canvas ..collect rain water keep yourself dry as a cover or a rain jacket ..I use mine for wrapping moose and deer and dragging it out of the bush
Lilly you are such a nerd and it is great. Everything you do is awesome . I am very entertained by your adventures and product evaluations. I thank you and your camera crew for what you do.
You can consider the removable section of the bag a "Seasonal area". Have one set up for summer and one for winter. Then change out the bag for the different seasons. I would recommend Nitrile gloves, they last longer and don't break down from storage in the heat as fast. Recommend a sling strap or backpack style straps to carry. Hand carry the bag is tiring and limits use of your hands.
A tin can and some tealight candles inside with a mesh cover under a blanket or inside your coat can safely keep you cozy in very cold weather. Drill a few holes near the bottom of the can to feed the flame with air.
Also, tip about gas storage. I had 2 generators that I had put gas in which I had stored in a separate gas can for close to a year. I was told by friends that as long as I used stabilizer it would be okay. Well the gas caused carburetor problems and the guy at the shop who fixed them said that it used to be true until they started putting ethanol in the gas. Now it will start to break down after 60 days. So, just to be sure, once a month I dump my stored gas in my car a get fresh gas.
Nice set of gear, well thought out. Additions that I have are a CB radio and a 38 revolver. Oh, if you drive an old Dodge, carry a spare ballast resistor.
Lilly, have you ever thought of mounting the fire extinguisher to your vehicle? I have mine mounted on the passenger transmission hump next to the console. The car essentials should be in a small duffel bag so that you don't have multiple projectiles in the case of a collision. The roll bag is cool and useful for a campsite. I would still recommend a 72 hour backpack that contains an extra charge of clothes, SOS food bar rations and protein bars, a fire start kit, basic tools like your hatchet, a hand auger, a compass, maps, a ham radio and a larger tactical knife. An advanced first aid kit that attaches to your backpack is also ideal. The idea is to free up at least one hand for self defense while you travel after abandoning your car. Where have you been all of my life?!
I gotta have bug out buddies like you. Started getting prep items that I have been acquiring over the year n a half, and I feel like I am the only one into this. You have a great channel keep up the good work.
Jepp, wenn man vor hat ne Nacht draußen zu bleiben. Ansonsten totaler Quatsch. Wo sind die Sandbleche auf dem Dach, wenn man auf einem Feldweg hängenbleibt? Einen Fronttriebler mit Serien-Differentialgetriebe hast Du auf unbefestigten Wegen in kürzester Zeit festgefahren. Ne Taschenlampe für 300 Mäuse, aber keine Winde. Lachhafte Verkaufsshow, mehr nicht. Leider.
My recommendation is to put your trunk items in a rolling duffle bag. If your car gets in a bad wreck, and a family member comes to pick you up, you could then roll your bag easily. It might be difficult to carry all that stuff away from the scene. Otherwise the tow truck will tow all your stuff away with your car
Lilly, I love it. Thank you. Also, your English is amazing. One pronunciation thing--goggles like you wear for your eyes are pronounced as "gah-guls." You are inspiring. I've really appreciated your videos--this one plus your shelter videos and your cooking videos. Thank you.
Shhhh! Don't correct her. It's charming. My wife is European and she does the reverse - on her computer she looks up information on "Goggle". When I smile, she says, "What are you smiling about?". I say "Nothing...nothing".
I am a big believer in having a way to make your vehicle a shelter. Where I live in the mountains, cell service is spotty at best. I have a good first aid kit, a hand crank flashlight that doesn't take batteries at all, a small portable air compressor which works if your tire goes flat, you can inflate it and get you to out as long as the tire isn't shredded or sidewall punctured. I have a hatchet, emergency blankets, poncho, folding shovel, a small portable stove that runs on either wood or sterno and only weighs a pound or so. I have water purification tablets, wool blankets as well, duct tape, electrical tape, matches, ferro rod, a couple of knives and a few other things here and there. People tend to get stranded in their vehicles a lot, one a couple years back up here died of exposure only about 100 feet from the highway.
You also have a vid. up on defending against a knife attack,that nice little pry bar could be a rather formidable item if properly employed for self protection ,I spent 39 + years in security,and fire jobs,one of my first and brief jobs ,one of my co workers went onto another job , where he carried a wooden nightstick /billy club,(we did as well) someone pulled a knife on him one night,and he responded with a good hard smack across the back of the knife wielding hand,breaking most of the bones involved,it was some time before that hand held a knife again ! that pry bar could do far more damage if it truly was needed for that purpose,and be handy for many other tasks as well.
In my long-ago youth, Adele Davis wrote DIET FOR A SMALL PLANET and we were introduced to the concept of a complete protein: the key was to pair rice with beans or peas. You might consider adding a legume to your 'bug-out' survivor kit. One gets both a totally digestible protein and very helpful fiber plus satisfying bulk. Both components can be dry or, with a car...the beans can be ready to re-heat from a can or two.
Good point. That said, it is possible to create a makeshift backpack from a roll made of blanket or tarp. Cordage may help but it is possible to do without.
Very interesting! Thank you. Three questions: 1 - A tow rope or towing strap with hooks for a car, if it stuck? 2 - Shovel (Foldable or military type)? 3- Multitool (leatherman or analog)? Good luck.
Lilly, in your car bug out kit. You have above and beyond the items needed. I'm very close to the items you have as well. ONE THING I WOULD ADD: 10 OR 20 LB. BAG OF CAT LITTER. It's come in handy during the winter time if your vehicle gets stuck in the snow. Sprinkle it in the front and back of the tire that is spinning out.
@@bahadortanzif8932 We appreciate the advice. 👍 Since, off roading has drastically changed throughout the years, tire chains were a catch-22 (in certain states) near the snowbelt. (X amount of winter months only allowed studded tires within that state.) That's why we mentioned the cat litter 4 years ago. Now, winches are reasonably priced, traction boards and tire chains etc... For those that cannot afford the extra luxuries; cat litter is reasonably priced for anyone.
I would advise a cargo net. I did a little ems and I saw what would have been a rather minor fender bender turn into a life threat when a lady had a small TV in her back seat and it went forward into her head. Just a small change to be prepared for everything
A fundamental for me is - which car? Kit is good in any car, but which vehicle should we think about? Most people can only afford a daily driver, but are some "better" natural survival or bug out vehicles than others? I'm looking at an estate/wagon for my next car. But do i go diesel, petrol, hybrid? FWD, RWD or AWD? All season or full winter tyres? Full sized spare? Space saver? Repair kit? Are all 4 tyres the same size? And so on.
You must not own a glock ....... they are the best in the world for the money ......... A Glock 17 would also be good .......... I was one of the foolish people that made fun of Glocks when they first came out ........ I was WRONG !! I now know .. they are the best Handgun for SHTF ! By Far ! Made in Austria !!! , I live in the US .
HA! Good for you Mike , I have never shot a M26 or a S&W M&P ......... I do have a 3" 629 that I really like . I have 2 mod 20's ( 2nt & 3rd gen ) & a Mod 21 ( 3rd gen ) . I agree most any good modern gun would be good . I don't own a mod 19 ( most sold ?? ) .. so I would grab my Mod 20 .
I suggest putting the fire extinguisher inside the cabin of the car rather than in the trunk, or have 2: one for the trunk and one for the cabin. There are also much smaller 3 in 1 devices: it includes a Car Safety Hammer, Window Breaker, Emergency Escape Tool Hammer, available on Amazon.
Wow... a lot of useful stuff i didn't think about yet tonadd in my car! Thanks for sharing! :) i will defenetly add some of these in my car. The bugout roll is pretty handy! I will use it for my car and for festivals ;) keep on being amazing XXX
And of course I forgot some very important items. You can get some very small generators these days that put out between 1000w and 2000w. Some incorporate an air compressor (or have a separate compressor that works off the car battery, even a foot pump) which can be invaluable. Add a basic tyre puncture kit and a can of the sealant that you put into the tyre. And finally some ratchet straps, a tow strap or rope and lots more paracord and bank line than you already have. I agree with you to a certain extent that you don't want all of your most expensive gear in the car but that does not always make sense. I would also keep my bug out bag in the car. In a natural disaster type situation, you will want to stay with your vehicle for as long as possible. Don't let the fear of your car being stolen compromise your readiness. Insure your stuff in the car. If it gets stolen, replace.
People have been trapped in flipped cars for days hidden by brush and out of view of passing traffic. It is important to have critical gear attached so that it is accessible in this situation if you are pinned in ( e.g. your phone hasn't landed someplace you can't reach it) these need to be within arm's reach. Some things worth keeping close - phone, fire extinguisher, water, snacks, flashlight, sleeping bag, heavy bandages, tourniquet., as well as a seatbelt cutting and glass breaking tool and a crowbar, chains or similar things to help with extraction . Hand warmers are also nice in cold weather as well as otc meds.
Very much like my car kit! I'd recommend adding a tow strap; air compressor (or hand/foot pump); replacing the saw with a folding one with multiple purpose blades; I have peanut butter jar instead of rice - much more calories, no cooking needed, good as a bait, considered comforting food, stored in the car for years; a hunk of stiff stainless steel wire is more versatile in the car than the duct tape roll; I'd add a liquids hand pump with tubing (for gas/oil/other liquids pumping in/out of the car) also for the car I'd get a petrol stove instead of the esbit one; add portable jump starter power bank; instead of the useless crate get a 10 liter bucket with lid; didn't see a shovel (I know you've got one recently ;)). Also even if you are not a car mechanic - have the car's maintenance and repair manual in pdf format on your smartphone and add a basic car tools kit.
I always keep a pair of heavy hiking/outdoors socks in the boots because one may not always have suitable socks on depending on what footwear you are currently wearing......flip flops, running shoes, etc...
Add fuses for your car. Near the engine in all modern cars is a fuse block (and automotive circuit breakers), many of which can render you immobile. Keep a selection of every type in your emergency kit.
Another great video lily. I love seeing the forests out there so thank you for that. also note to you about using your rubber tubing for water and or gas/ benzin. do not mix water and gas in the tube because once it is expose to benzing it will be contaminated and cannot be used as a straw oder luchgerate.
The saw at 7:40 is awesome. Have a similar one, same design made of titanium. Excellent. Long with a high bridge make is much better at cutting through bigger diameter logs.
To all the women out there...this is how you should "train" your daughters. Make them go into the woods, camp out, hike, and be prepared. Screw all the shoe shopping.
Look up guy that lived north of Imlay Nevada and had his daughter live in desert for a year alone as teenager ,great interview with her ,his place is now tourist stop along side of I80
Oh common don't bring gender to this even many men don't prepare like this
Be prepared for what? For death from loneliness?
Everyone should know how to survive without being in the comfort of their own home. Never know what might happen one day. Red Dawn is very possible
Women can be strong, self sufficient and cute all at the same time.
I am not being critical at all but the one thing everybody forgets to put in their car is a roll of toilet paper if you're stranded in your vehicle how do you go to the bathroom without a roll of toilet paper. Thanks for your videos you're awesome
ted meigel So true.
not being critical but toilet paper is not a survival item. so you cant use the bathroom without paper? You have bigger issues then that.
leaves
ted meigel I always carry a bucket, plastic bags to line and toilet paper, however I do suffer from bowel issues and every now and then need an emergency facility.. I have in the past also used a folding spade and leaves, not pleasant or hygienic though
Check
Make sure your crow bar isn't made of cast iron or cast aluminum. I have had tools shatter on me. I am a carpenter by trade. I had a hammer that was cast. It shattered in the cold. Also I had a crow bar that broke just from normal leverage being applied. Steel tools. Anyway stay clear of cast metal tools. Good video
ok I did not know that. Thanks a lot
+Survival Lilly she a smart Women
Haha Same happened to me. I'm a carpenter too. I remember one of my friends from the canadian army had given me a cool-looking multitool (pliers-slash-swiss knife) and I gave it to my father who wanted to loosen a bolt..... he immediately shattered it with his bare hands. I said: " If this is what the canadian army is using we are screwed!"
@@SurvivalLilly you're the best

Just out of curiosity, how did you get into bushcraft/survival? You are probably one of the most prepared people I have seen. You obviously are very knowledgeable in the woods, have good common sense and the ability to adapt to almost any situation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone.
how to survive: take Lilly with you.
steve'sadventures fuck off
Drea Jeffries Surreal.
Id sure feel less lonely
Too complicated.
I like my survival to be as simple as possible.
Or just take beer...
The crowbar @3:45 is a fantastic idea. I love that one.
Lilly you should add a towing strap in your car or a really strong rope like a dyneema rope. You could use it to be towed or tow someone else and you could tow that tree that you cut down out of the way. Great video keep up the good work!
Good call for your basic recovery gear
Thanks Lilly! Another great video! One item I HIGHLY recommend is a vehicle window breaker. Get a good one, as some of the cheap imitations don't work. One of these tools may save your life in many different types of auto accidents. Or you may be able to save another persons life. Be sure to secure your window breaker somewhere in the front, so that it does not fly away and dissapear in an accident! The one I use is a pull apart device, and I have it secured on a key ring, attached to one of my passenger headrest posts. A simple tug, and my tool is ready for use! Please remember to NEVER use these tools on your windshield! It has a special type of glass that will not shatter!
Thanks for sharing the roll on your channel, its made in Canada with pride, sourcing the best materials and providing fair wages to our seamstresses. Everyone will use it differently, I keep mine in my truck as well, its great for a campsite to keep gear off the ground as you say and organizer. The more you use it the more indispensible it becomes especially if youre a gear head like me. I had many women inquire about using it for female stuff i.e. make up etc (because thats just what one needs when shtf!). Its nice to see a survivalist ladies take on the roll! I see you have rice in your kit, have you tried mountain house? That stuff is so good I almost crave an emergency so I can eat it!
Could use a shoulder or backstrap. I'm sure you could fit your own though. I may have to pick one up for the truck!
I have just ordered one for use here in Norway after I saw the video... ;-)
Canadian Prepper where can I order the bug out roll? Thanks.
Thanks for asking, canadianpreparedness. com :)
Canadian Prepper thank you. I live in England so hoping for a fast delivery.
Well organized storage unit. Looks like you have everything your need.. Note, put something in for personal protection. Electrical zip ties come very handy. A tarp also comes in handy incase you have to get on the ground or shelter.
Very informative! Now I'm inspired to make my car bug out ready. My only suggestion is that you supplement your basic first aid kit with a small trauma kit (tourniquet, pressure dressing, compressed gauze, chest seal, and trauma shears) which can be kept close at hand in the door storage or under the driver's seat. A trauma kit could be a lifesaver in the event of an arterial bleed or a penetrating (sucking) chest injury.
Great video, thank you Lilly! Canadian Prepper's bug out roll is so well made and awesome!! I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about keeping your gear organized. Just received mine, really, really awesome!! Love you guys, keep up the great videos.
I'm 40 and never owned a car... but I've walked miles out of the bush when the gas ran out, in the dark I recommend a shoulder strap for the Fuel can & bugout role it looks like it has D rings for that. nice gear !
I love the idea of the rolling bag. My trunk always has basic emergency gear because I live in earthquake/fire country and lived through a major earthquake where we had no electricity, gas or clean water for several days. And recently had to evacuate due to the largest wildfire in state history. So I take my emergency pack seriously. I appreciate your tips. Keep up the good work.
Add some maps, flat tire fix kits , air pump and slime. Love the crowbar in the glove box and the folding saw. 100 points for a good fire extinguisher. Plan on looking for that roll up thing, you have it very well stocked
We are dutch/German preppers survival couple living in gran canaria. We both love your videos. We watch them all the time. Very well done. Keep it up!
Lilly, I was impressed by that Bug Out Roll. Never seen anything quite like it and I've been at this for decades. Pretty cool for vehicle camping.
Yeah you're right.. the fire extinguisher is a must have...... I also have a good first aid kit, wool blanket,, umbrella,, flares, bottle jack, shovel, chains, and everything else what you mentioned is a good idea.. thank you for sharing.. Robert Jr NJ here United States of America.
I would suggest to take buckwheat instead of rice. At the worst you do not need boiling water to prepare buckwheat: just add cold water and leave it for a few hours.
tlevap • Thanks, good tip.
You don't need the full trunk, just one kilo ))).
I have googled and found Lemberona products from Austria ;-).
Otay!!
You are the first survivalist who talks about a warning vest, an item that I think could save lots of lives every day on our streets and roads.
I lived in Germany for 6 years and it is mandatory for all civilians that are in a vehicle as she stated. If they witness an accident, they are required by law to stop and assist or report their eyewitness information.
Hey Lillie, just a word to the wise, I have had those cheaper booster cables refuse to actually boost the dead battery because the cables aren't good enough gauge to transfer the necessary boost, please make sure you use at least 6 gauge cables. It's very frustrating to try to boost with poor cables. Love your videos by the way.
Cheers from Canada
Great load out, you had some great lights there but didn't mention a head lamp, which is really useful when trying to change a wheel or carry out any task using two hands. It is good you have a fire extinguisher, but consider mounting it in the passenger compartment, as in a crash the boot lid may not be able to open, and if you are trapped in the car you can hand the extinguisher to anyone outside. I mount mine across the seat frame on the passenger side. A multi tool can be useful for minor repairs, and some spare fuses. You had your towing eye easily accessible, but a rolled up tow strap in the boot means anyone who happens past in a vehicle can give you a tow, or you can tow them. Keep up the great videos!
Good video Lilly. You really shouldn't carry gasoline in the passenger compartment of your car. If you get rear ended in an accident the container could burst spraying gasoline all over possibly causing a fire. That would be a horrible way to go.
is not gas, is diesel fuel
Diesel doesnt ignite
Hi Lilly ... you can use a fuel stabilizer in your fuel to make it last much longer but the best thing is to use it in the car after about a year and refill with fresh fuel. I would add a few things to your car kit though. First, I would add two of those 10l containers with water. You can't have too much water. I would also have a real good pump filter from a company like Katadyn so that you can refill those containers from dubious sources like ponds, drains and streams. Also, a small chainsaw, a good hammer, a cordless drill (or a range of tools which all carry the same battery pack), screws and nails can also be invaluable for various things including fast shelter building. A good axe and a shovel are always helpful too. The last thing that I would do is to install an inverter in your car, hard wired to the battery so that you can have regular mains current, 110/240v to plug your chargers, etc., into, especially your cordless tool chargers. The ultimate would be to install a 2 battery system to your car so that all of your extras run off of the second battery and your original car battery is not troubled. This is particularly useful as you then also have a spare car battery in the case that your original battery fails.
Your bug out kit should include a raincoat with hood, rubber boots and the all important microphone. With those 3 things you can stand in the eye of the storm in complete safety. With all the reporters who do exactly that, not a single one has been injured or killed.
Lol
😂🤣😂
You forgot the giant fan to make it look like the wind is strong.
Don't forget that knee-deep ditch to stand in, for the important "flooded " effect...
Hello Lilly, great vid ! Just one tip : You should consider attaching everything that is just hanging around your car (like on your door's pocket) : if you get in an accident, all your important stuff will be all over the place, and may even hurt you !
Thank you for posting this video! Awesome timing for this topic, my daughter and I are packing our bug out vehicle today, in case we have to evacuate soon, as a large forest fire is bearing down on our small mountain town in the PNW. My 3 year old LOVES your videos, and is now super excited to help pack our "Bug Out" vehicle, just like her hero Survival Lilly! :)
sunnydayang ok cool. Stay safe
Glad to see you packed sugar for energy. People often forget that they need salt as well. Those little foil packs of chicken soup mix work well and keep you cheerful.
Maybe add a small VHF/UHF transceiver, in case there is no mobile phone coverage. Never leave home without mine 😊
Lilly,
I wish more people would watch your videos in the US. I used to work for 9-1-1 (euro 1-1-2) for seven years and we used to get emergency telephone calls from stranded motorists. Most of those telephone calls were not real emergencies and could have been handled by the motorist, if they had been as prepared as you are.
On another subject:
Come build a shelter in West Virginia!
Thank u Lily for making this vid a class 4 hurricane is going to hit me so I am thinking of transforming my car to help me make it through the storm thank u so much
Panda Productions just use a bunker
fuqu thx
Vlad Midan I can’t I live on the sixth floor of an apartment building and I can leave my are so I think it’s better to transform my car fo during or after the storm
fuqu but still I have to transform my car for after the storm
Markle2k oh...
I wasn't aware of the Thrulite Charger. The chargers that I have and like very much only use AC Voltage. This one will also use DC to charge batteries. Thanks for the information SL. Your doing a great job !
Oh and a small shovel..if she's stuck in a blizzard..gotta keep that tailpipe clear..or c02 gonna get ya when running the car for warmth.an army surplus one would be fine..my uncle has one and he sharpened the edges and tip..makes a great self defense tool also.
Good idea.
good vedio .In 1973 I was coming back from Florida USA .everything I owned was in the car
The battery was not secured
I was looking for a gas station as I was about to run out of gas.after going in one direction with no gas station in site,I made a u turn in the street .the battery fell over on to the power steering hose .burnt threw it and cought fire as power steering fluid is flammable .Lucky I had a fire extinguisher and I knew Whare it was.I was able to put the fire out and continue home but with no power steering .you gave a very good tip ,every car needs a fire extinguisher because you never know what will happen.
.
Your by far my favoret youtuber! The fact i could listen to you talk for hours helps as well as your very easy on my eyes!
Thanks for all your videos!
Great kit! I took a slightly different approach. Rather than a bug-out bag in me daily driver, I put together a get-home bag. Similar kit but not keyed toward leaving for a long period. More targeted for getting me home, on foot if necessary.
Where does a guy find a Survival Lilly at? 💓💓💓
I had one once. I did not survive.😑
@@jasoncoker1625 🤣
There coming to stores near you on January 15th 2021
thirsty nigga gotta make it all creepy
.... In Austria
Boots and outdoor clothes need to added especially if you are in a cold environment. If you are driving back to home from work in your business attire, a suit or such, you need to change to outdoor clothing in case of any trouble with the car. Just to keep warm and to be able to walk away from the car.
I lolled, 😂 I don't know many cars that will accept a crow bar into the glove box compartment.
I was waiting for lilly to pull a ladder out of the glovebox.
😂😂😂👍
Wie machst Du dann Deine Einkäufe, wenn der Kofferraum so voll ist?
Solid video. Only change I would make is to have the fire extinguisher reachable by the driver from the driver's seat.
1) Be like Lilly. Right weight, fit and confident. 2). Basic medicine. Vet salve, vet tape (self clinging)3) Dog food - you won't eat it until you are starving. 4) Compass - maps.
You will find that crowbar will not easily break the tempered glass side windows in an car. Breaking tempered glass needs a very point focused impact, preferably near a corner of the glass, to cause its breakage. Tempered glass is used because it is hard to break and when when it breaks it fractures into small pieces. Ordinary glass often has large pieces that can inflict serious cuts. I carry a product called ResqMe on my car key ring. ResqMe has other products to break tempered glass but I like the key ring model because it is always at hand for me or a front seat passenger. In an emergency you simply pull on it and it separates from the key in the car exposing a blade in a slit that can be used to cut a seat belt. To break the glass simply push the end against the glass. Pushing compresses an internal spring that then releases driving a hard pointed steel into the glass. Sold on Amazon:

I saw the exquisite compartment roll from Canadian Prepper and have been drooling over it since. Now that I see how you use it and your valuable advice, I’m getting one.
Thanks for your great channel. Cheers.
Great advice. In the event civilization collapses however I hope to be one of the first people to buy the farm. For those who wonder why, after a few weeks of playing "road warrior" you'll understand.
Well, there is prepping for personal emergencies (esp. if you like to travel alone, adventure out in the wilderness, etc.), prepping for temporary (but sometimes severe) emergencies such as natural disasters, and then there's prepping for an apocalyptic-esque scenario. Not everyone is prepping for *the* "Big One", but even for those that are it's sensible to have a more moderate cache of supplies on hand and in your vehicle.
An automatic center punch is a very good item to keep in your car for rescue/self rescue purposes. It is lightweight, very inexpensive and about the size of a pen/pencil.
Hi Lilly, I enjoy your videos and your tips are great. I think, our Vehicles are especially important things to consider. To have ready in an emergency. In reality, if we did have a need to "Bug Out". Most of us, would be caught on the Highway, in a long line of Traffic. This just happened in my State, TX, USA. Because of Hurricane Harvey and the resulting Floods. I have been carrying emergency gear, in my vehicles, since the 1970's. Probably, the most important thing. That, I have actually had to use, in an emergency. Was, a Fire Extinguisher (keep yours up to date, they do loose their propellant, over time). The first time, I had to use it. Was, because of an Engine Backfire. The Carburetor caught on fire. A Big fire. Not, just one of those common small Carb fires. That will burn them selves out, in less than a minute. I knew I had a Fire Extinguisher. So, I went to get it. First, I had to remember, where it was. Then, it was hard to get to. So, it took, what seemed like forever, to get it out. I did get it out in time and still had to use it to put out the Carb Fire. After that, I kept my Fire Extinguisher, near the Drivers Seat. Where I could get to it from there. Close enough to the Drivers Seat. That, if I were in an Accident and couldn't get out of the Car or Truck. I could still reach it. It's a good idea. To tie it down, or at least, put it under the Seat. So, it doesn't become a Projectile, in an Accident. It can take a while to fumble with keys or find the Open Trunk Lever, on newer cars. To open the Trunk, to get to your Emergency Gear. I keep most of my Gear in the Car or Cab of my Truck. Your mind, doesn't work as fast, as you may think it will, in a real emergency. Also, if your Car is on Fire. The last place you want to be. Is, at the rear of the Vehicle, where the Gas Tank is!:O Also, be prepared for a Break Down. This, can easily become an Emergency Situation. A Few Hand Tools are a must. Even if you are not Mechanically Inclined. Screw Drivers, Pliers and such, can save you, from being Stranded. I have pulled over to help people, at times, over the years. And they often, had no tools. And sometimes, Not even a Jack or Spare Tire. I had both. And Tire Plugs and some Fix a Flat, in a Can too. One of the most important things. I have had to use. To get back on the Road. Is water, for the Radiator (I carry 2 to 4 Gallons). I use old Anti-Freeze Jugs, for my Backup Radiator Water. I carry this, in Addition, to my Emergency Drinking Water. If your Engine over heats and spits out water. You are stuck, on the road. You will ruin your Motor, if you continue to run it or drive the Car. Unless, you have some Radiator Patch Tape or allot of Duct Tape. And Water, to put back in the Radiator. You are Stranded. I actually carry, Spare Parts, too. Old, but still ok... Fan Belts, Hoses Spark Plugs, etc. What ever, commonly wears out on your engine. In Texas, where I live. People die, every Summer, from the Heat. Some, cold days in the Winter, can kill you here too. So, like you. I also keep, a Sleeping Bag or two. And some Pillows, in case I want to go on a Spur of the Moment Camping Trip:) Can't sleep without my pillows;) I keep my Sleeping Bags, in the Back Seat. So, I can get to them easily. And in case I have an Accident and can't get out of the Vehicle. They are there, with me. This could save your life, if you drive off into a Ditch and get injured, in the Winter. Or hit a Sow Bank. And your Car can't be seen, from the road. This has happened, to people here, several times, here over the years. Keeping your Sleeping Bags or Blankets inside the Car. Keeps them Cleaner and Dryer. Than if you had to go out and get them out of the trunk, on a Rainy Night. Trunks, often Leak in Water too. For me, I have had times. Where, I got sick, while on the Road. And had to crawl in the Back Seat and sleep for a while. It was in Hot weather. So, the Pillows, at least, made me a bit more comfortable. Some other things, that I carry. Are Canned and Dry Food, Crackers, Cookies etc. That can stand up to the heat and cold, in the Car. Since 1992, my main Vehicle, has been a 1976 Chevy Blazer 4x4 Truck. It has large windows, all around it. So, the Sun, does burn up everything it shines on. I keep my food and eating utensils, in a small Lunch Cooler. This does help, quite a bit, in preserving your food. I have had some things stay in there for 10 years!:O And some canned food, in there for about 3 years. I know... I forgot:O The Sun, has finally disintegrated, the Cooler. After many years. So, I need a new one. Like you. I also keep a Backpack, ready to go. One, in the House with me and another, in the Truck. With some basic stuff, in them. Clothes and overnight stuff. Rope, String, Flash Light and Spare Batteries. Swiss Army Knife, Sizzlers, Paper Towels, Toilet Paper, Plastic Bags and First Aid Stuff. I keep my Pocket Knives, in my Pockets, at all times. My Hunting knives, stay in the House. They are keepsakes, from my Dad and Childhood. And for me, I keep Medicine. I am Diabetic. So, I need to keep some spare Meds, with me at all times. I keep some Meds, in a Pocket Pill Box too. Along with, some Glucose Tablets. Both, in my Pocket and my Back Pack. Anyone, could use the Glucose Tablets. They are much like a Candy, we have here, Called, Sweet Tarts. There good:) When I was younger. I lived on 1.5 Acres, in the Country. There was a Spring Fed Creek, on the Back and it was heavily Wooded. I lived, there for 9 years and love it. For a while, I camped in my back yard, every weekend, with my kids. It was the best camping spot, I ever had!:) I wish I still had the place... I would like to have even more Emergency Gear, with a Roll out Bag, like yours. And some of those, products you show, look great. I really like that Big Bow Saw, in your Trunk. And the Camping Gear too. Thanks for sharing, your knowledge with us:)
Don
Great video Lilly.. I agree with some of the other comments... add a Tool box or bag, Wenches, Sockets, Pliers, Screw Drivers etc... for basic repairs if needed. Even add a repair manual, it would be helpful.
Lily you are awesome person. Thanks for the sharing your knowledge of different survival scenarios. Take care and safe.
In America we have a product called Sta-Bil that you add to a can of gasoline so it lasts longer in storage. You still want to use it up and replace it regularly though, but not as often and if you forget one time that will give you some extra piece of mind.
Not sure what the winters are like where you live but for me here in Canada I always have a small folding shovel in my car incase I get stuck and need to dig my way out, and also maybe a small bag of non clumping kitty litter to help for added traction.
Great video and some new ideas for my car kit.
I also carry a small diameter hand pump siphon in my truck among other items such as maps, tool kit, belts, lights, tire repair kit, 12 volt air compressor etc.. Most to all new vehicles have an anti siphon valve in the gas tanks but with a small diameter siphon you can bypass it with some manipulation. In a SHTF moment it could help with transferring fuel from a found vehicle to yours directly as well into your gas can.
Wow. Great video again and I love all the gear, the organization, and the items in the car. Great ideas!! Thank you.
Rope and Canvas ..collect rain water keep yourself dry as a cover or a rain jacket ..I use mine for wrapping moose and deer and dragging it out of the bush
Lilly you are such a nerd and it is great. Everything you do is awesome . I am very entertained by your adventures and product evaluations. I thank you and your camera crew for what you do.
You can consider the removable section of the bag a "Seasonal area". Have one set up for summer and one for winter. Then change out the bag for the different seasons. I would recommend Nitrile gloves, they last longer and don't break down from storage in the heat as fast. Recommend a sling strap or backpack style straps to carry. Hand carry the bag is tiring and limits use of your hands.
awesome kit! what would you say would be the most reliable 4wd car?
The most reliable 4wd car is the one which you can repair by yourself.
One that runs.
An old Land Rover is perfect and made to be easy to repair
Indeed :)
Here in Estonia Land Rovers have bad bad reputation..especially the older ones
A tin can and some tealight candles inside with a mesh cover under a blanket or inside your coat can safely keep you cozy in very cold weather.
Drill a few holes near the bottom of the can to feed the flame with air.
Good package Lilly but I nowhere seen a shovel. Shovel is main instrument for a car in the forest.
Also, tip about gas storage. I had 2 generators that I had put gas in which I had stored in a separate gas can for close to a year. I was told by friends that as long as I used stabilizer it would be okay. Well the gas caused carburetor problems and the guy at the shop who fixed them said that it used to be true until they started putting ethanol in the gas. Now it will start to break down after 60 days. So, just to be sure, once a month I dump my stored gas in my car a get fresh gas.
That Bug Out Roll is perfect survival item, I never see it before and now I want it😊. Nice video again Lilly👍💚🌸..
Nice set of gear, well thought out. Additions that I have are a CB radio and a 38 revolver. Oh, if you drive an old Dodge, carry a spare ballast resistor.
You have all that fancy stuff meanwhile I have a bunch of napkins in my glove box..
When you need to crap then you'll be prepared!!
Do you have ketchup packets too? That's very important lol
Lilly, have you ever thought of mounting the fire extinguisher to your vehicle? I have mine mounted on the passenger transmission hump next to the console. The car essentials should be in a small duffel bag so that you don't have multiple projectiles in the case of a collision. The roll bag is cool and useful for a campsite. I would still recommend a 72 hour backpack that contains an extra charge of clothes, SOS food bar rations and protein bars, a fire start kit, basic tools like your hatchet, a hand auger, a compass, maps, a ham radio and a larger tactical knife. An advanced first aid kit that attaches to your backpack is also ideal. The idea is to free up at least one hand for self defense while you travel after abandoning your car. Where have you been all of my life?!
"-In the next compartment I have this 36" side-by-side refrigerator..."
I gotta have bug out buddies like you. Started getting prep items that I have been acquiring over the year n a half, and I feel like I am the only one into this. You have a great channel keep up the good work.
Sehr cool. Das ist ein Wagen mit Vollausstattung ;) Tolle Rolle! Thx for the share!
Waldhandwerk - BushcraftSurvival na bei 600000 ist ein größeres Auto fällig... am besten pickup Raptors 😜😜😜😜😜
Jepp, wenn man vor hat ne Nacht draußen zu bleiben. Ansonsten totaler Quatsch. Wo sind die Sandbleche auf dem Dach, wenn man auf einem Feldweg hängenbleibt? Einen Fronttriebler mit Serien-Differentialgetriebe hast Du auf unbefestigten Wegen in kürzester Zeit festgefahren. Ne Taschenlampe für 300 Mäuse, aber keine Winde. Lachhafte Verkaufsshow, mehr nicht. Leider.
MrSnowman: That's a bit harsh. No kit is complete. I would also suggest additions. It's better to have such a kit, and build upon it. as you learn.
My recommendation is to put your trunk items in a rolling duffle bag. If your car gets in a bad wreck, and a family member comes to pick you up, you could then roll your bag easily. It might be difficult to carry all that stuff away from the scene. Otherwise the tow truck will tow all your stuff away with your car
Lilly, I love it. Thank you. Also, your English is amazing. One pronunciation thing--goggles like you wear for your eyes are pronounced as "gah-guls." You are inspiring. I've really appreciated your videos--this one plus your shelter videos and your cooking videos. Thank you.
Country Frau Her accent is bomb
Shhhh! Don't correct her. It's charming. My wife is European and she does the reverse - on her computer she looks up information on "Goggle". When I smile, she says, "What are you smiling about?". I say "Nothing...nothing".
I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I think Lilly is awesome.
in Austria it's proper to use W's instead of V''s It makes me smile though since it's not very Canadian.
Nope!...They're googles now. Lilly said so.
I am a big believer in having a way to make your vehicle a shelter. Where I live in the mountains, cell service is spotty at best. I have a good first aid kit, a hand crank flashlight that doesn't take batteries at all, a small portable air compressor which works if your tire goes flat, you can inflate it and get you to out as long as the tire isn't shredded or sidewall punctured. I have a hatchet, emergency blankets, poncho, folding shovel, a small portable stove that runs on either wood or sterno and only weighs a pound or so. I have water purification tablets, wool blankets as well, duct tape, electrical tape, matches, ferro rod, a couple of knives and a few other things here and there. People tend to get stranded in their vehicles a lot, one a couple years back up here died of exposure only about 100 feet from the highway.
Great post. A voice of reason. Cheers.
Hey Lilly I love your vids! Keep up the great work!
You also have a vid. up on defending against a knife attack,that nice little pry bar could be a rather formidable item if properly employed for self protection ,I spent 39 + years in security,and fire jobs,one of my first and brief jobs ,one of my co workers went onto another job , where he carried a wooden nightstick /billy club,(we did as well) someone pulled a knife on him one night,and he responded with a good hard smack across the back of the knife wielding hand,breaking most of the bones involved,it was some time before that hand held a knife again ! that pry bar could do far more damage if it truly was needed for that purpose,and be handy for many other tasks as well.
Word of advice, if you meet a girl who keeps a crowbar in her glovebox and an axe in her trunk. Marry her!
In my long-ago youth, Adele Davis wrote DIET FOR A SMALL PLANET and we were introduced to the concept of a complete protein: the key was to pair rice with beans or peas. You might consider adding a legume to your 'bug-out' survivor kit. One gets both a totally digestible protein and very helpful fiber plus satisfying bulk. Both components can be dry or, with a car...the beans can be ready to re-heat from a can or two.
Bag out roll would be more useful if it had backpack straps
Good point. That said, it is possible to create a makeshift backpack from a roll made of blanket or tarp. Cordage may help but it is possible to do without.
Put a bible in the compartments.
I was thinking of adding the starps for sleeping bags they sell at walmart
@@Corinthians-kjv true! Toilet paper is very important 😉
Very interesting!
Thank you.
Three questions:
1 - A tow rope or towing strap with hooks for a car, if it stuck?
2 - Shovel (Foldable or military type)?
3- Multitool (leatherman or analog)?
Good luck.
You are one Smart Lady. I like the way you think.
Lilly, in your car bug out kit. You have above and beyond the items needed. I'm very close to the items you have as well. ONE THING I WOULD ADD: 10 OR 20 LB. BAG OF CAT LITTER. It's come in handy during the winter time if your vehicle gets stuck in the snow. Sprinkle it in the front and back of the tire that is spinning out.
Use the candle, to heat the can, to melt the... or just put on the TIRE CHAINS
@@bahadortanzif8932 We appreciate the advice. 👍 Since, off roading has drastically changed throughout the years, tire chains were a catch-22 (in certain states) near the snowbelt. (X amount of winter months only allowed studded tires within that state.) That's why we mentioned the cat litter 4 years ago. Now, winches are reasonably priced, traction boards and tire chains etc... For those that cannot afford the extra luxuries; cat litter is reasonably priced for anyone.
Great video once again. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
I would advise a cargo net. I did a little ems and I saw what would have been a rather minor fender bender turn into a life threat when a lady had a small TV in her back seat and it went forward into her head. Just a small change to be prepared for everything
A really informative video. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm prepping my car now.
A fundamental for me is - which car?
Kit is good in any car, but which vehicle should we think about?
Most people can only afford a daily driver, but are some "better" natural survival or bug out vehicles than others?
I'm looking at an estate/wagon for my next car.
But do i go diesel, petrol, hybrid?
FWD, RWD or AWD?
All season or full winter tyres?
Full sized spare? Space saver? Repair kit?
Are all 4 tyres the same size?
And so on.
Don't forget your Glock 19
You must not own a glock ....... they are the best in the world for the money ......... A Glock 17 would also be good .......... I was one of the foolish people that made fun of Glocks when they first came out ........ I was WRONG !! I now know .. they are the best Handgun for SHTF ! By Far ! Made in Austria !!! , I live in the US .
Dan O'Neill. I own 2.. 17 an a 26 but i prefer my s&w m&p 40 compact
I carry a simple 25acp... is not the size of the gun ,is know how to use it.
HA! Good for you Mike , I have never shot a M26 or a S&W M&P ......... I do have a 3" 629 that I really like . I have 2 mod 20's ( 2nt & 3rd gen ) & a Mod 21 ( 3rd gen ) . I agree most any good modern gun would be good . I don't own a mod 19 ( most sold ?? ) .. so I would grab my Mod 20 .
Frank C a.38 snubby with cut slit ammo is good too..just cut an x in the tip of the bullet..makes a nice size hole..lol
I suggest putting the fire extinguisher inside the cabin of the car rather than in the trunk, or have 2: one for the trunk and one for the cabin. There are also much smaller 3 in 1 devices: it includes a Car Safety Hammer, Window Breaker, Emergency Escape Tool Hammer, available on Amazon.
Wow... a lot of useful stuff i didn't think about yet tonadd in my car! Thanks for sharing! :) i will defenetly add some of these in my car. The bugout roll is pretty handy! I will use it for my car and for festivals ;) keep on being amazing XXX
And of course I forgot some very important items. You can get some very small generators these days that put out between 1000w and 2000w. Some incorporate an air compressor (or have a separate compressor that works off the car battery, even a foot pump) which can be invaluable. Add a basic tyre puncture kit and a can of the sealant that you put into the tyre. And finally some ratchet straps, a tow strap or rope and lots more paracord and bank line than you already have. I agree with you to a certain extent that you don't want all of your most expensive gear in the car but that does not always make sense. I would also keep my bug out bag in the car. In a natural disaster type situation, you will want to stay with your vehicle for as long as possible. Don't let the fear of your car being stolen compromise your readiness. Insure your stuff in the car. If it gets stolen, replace.
This video should be age restricted because of good quality knowledge LOL
Shit load of sarcasm there.
Great video 🎯
People have been trapped in flipped cars for days hidden by brush and out of view of passing traffic. It is important to have critical gear attached so that it is accessible in this situation if you are pinned in ( e.g. your phone hasn't landed someplace you can't reach it) these need to be within arm's reach. Some things worth keeping close - phone, fire extinguisher, water, snacks, flashlight, sleeping bag, heavy bandages, tourniquet., as well as a seatbelt cutting and glass breaking tool and a crowbar, chains or similar things to help with extraction . Hand warmers are also nice in cold weather as well as otc meds.
Some chocolate and dried meat could be a good addition
Chocolate will melt in backpack from your body heat
Very much like my car kit! I'd recommend adding a tow strap; air compressor (or hand/foot pump); replacing the saw with a folding one with multiple purpose blades; I have peanut butter jar instead of rice - much more calories, no cooking needed, good as a bait, considered comforting food, stored in the car for years; a hunk of stiff stainless steel wire is more versatile in the car than the duct tape roll; I'd add a liquids hand pump with tubing (for gas/oil/other liquids pumping in/out of the car) also for the car I'd get a petrol stove instead of the esbit one; add portable jump starter power bank; instead of the useless crate get a 10 liter bucket with lid; didn't see a shovel (I know you've got one recently ;)). Also even if you are not a car mechanic - have the car's maintenance and repair manual in pdf format on your smartphone and add a basic car tools kit.
Getting ready for Irma to make landfall...

I always keep a pair of heavy hiking/outdoors socks in the boots because one may not always have suitable socks on depending on what footwear you are currently wearing......flip flops, running shoes, etc...
You forgot to include at least 4 pairs of dry socks. Your feet will thank you.
Add fuses for your car. Near the engine in all modern cars is a fuse block (and automotive circuit breakers), many of which can render you immobile. Keep a selection of every type in your emergency kit.
Nice video, hello from Washington state.
Hi I'm Albert of Leith. Easy to remember. The hiking Mummy Bag fits inside the rectangular camp bag. Or Mommy Bag inside the Daddy Bag.
yo sis you have a fly ride , I went with a SUV all wheel drive to ,mines not as sweet as yours, next I think a 4w pick up for work. luv ya sis
Another great video lily. I love seeing the forests out there so thank you for that. also note to you about using your rubber tubing for water and or gas/ benzin.
do not mix water and gas in the tube because once it is expose to benzing it will be contaminated and cannot be used as a straw oder luchgerate.
Hi Lilly, ein Rucksack wäre noch ganz praktisch, falls Du das Auto verlassen musst und Ausrüstung mitnehmen möchtest. ;) Beste Grüße, Timo.
The saw at 7:40 is awesome. Have a similar one, same design made of titanium. Excellent. Long with a high bridge make is much better at cutting through bigger diameter logs.
