Great information and tips. It is time to dig out the bags and go through them.😬. Due to the spouses health, we'd only be able to bug out by vehicle, but would still need the bags.👍. Guess I need to make up a bag for our little Bichon and include food, dishes, brushes, scissors and nail cutters. Would load her stroller into the car, just in case. I bought a sturdy one with a lot of storage space.😄 Keep praying for America.🙏 God bless.
This was awesome! Also thanks for the links because I saw some things that I could really use and add to my kit! Hubby said thank you as well, he loves your videos 😉
@GardeningWithCrystal I get asked so much about the gear. I figured the links would be helpful. That was time consuming 😆 I really grateful for all the support. Tell the hubby I said hello 👋 😁
Appreciate all the helpful tips and information Grey! You did a great job of breaking everything down and explaining why these items are important! Blessings to you and the family ❤🙏
Hey Grey, day off today and this evening catching up on a few videos as i am doing some canning. Lol, i was just thinking of going through my get home bags. Yes, one of the most important things to consider when putting the bag together is environmental and season. For example, my city bag is different from my country bag. Then with winter coming up, there are a few items i will change out from summer gear. Good video. 👍
Hey long videos that contain solid and helpful info like you presented here are well worth the time spent. I personally hate the real short videos that just throw a bunch of crap on a table and say you must have all this or you'll die stuff. Thank you for putting the time and effort and sharing this was the preparedness community! God bless ya brother.
@commonsensepreparedness5841 I truly appreciate the feedback, brother. I just wanted to share some ideas and hope that the information is helpful to others. I'm not a big fan of short form either, lol 😆 👍 God bless you as well.
HI Grey I appreciate the time on the break down on your kits for your family I have one general medium ish size bag in the car and we do thow added things in as winter here in Minnesota can be a bit rough, but I told my husband we definitely should make a one more for his main vehicle the truck although his commute isn't super far away it's far enough for a good hike if crap hits the fan I really like your wife's inputs on the smaller items they just make better since for me personally since I'm smaller and don't have the strength I once had. As you said better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Thanks Grey and Ms.Grey
Many folks out there cater to specifically men, I think our women be it wives, daughters, and even grandmother's need to have kits that work for them as well. God bless and thank you for sharing your thoughts! 😊🙏
@BUTTERFLY31214 that's my plan as well. That being said, if I'm at work or out in general I want to have a kit in my vehicle or if during a natural disaster and I'm either forced to evacuate or home is destroyed I want options 😁👍
Still have a grab bag in case you have to relocate. Not just for a major event but perhaps for something very localised. Home fire for example or a flood.
Thanks as always. Sillcock key is a nice touch. We scout and "paper" map out water sources in our region. as well as fruit trees we see in reasonably open access. Also, I like the spider line for fishing line, as it can also be used for heavy duty sewing repairs.
I’m not likely to bug out but have car bag that needs checked and updated. And I usually get an item or two for my kids for xmas. Very informative. Will rewatch as I check my bag. Thanks!
I also use my phone as a GPS, I installed an offline GPS (Sygic) that works great. I even removed my SIM & it worked perfectly. I do have a power bank & a small Solar panel to charge both, as GPS uses allot of power...
Great video! Really enjoyed and learned some things. Wish I knew how to tie knots. Gotta learn. Do you have a video on hanging a hammock? Thanks so much! 👍👍
@Lazymofoprepper2 I had just discussed this. I'll copy and paste, lol. "That's my plan as well. "Bugging In" That being said, if I'm at work or out in general I want to have a kit in my vehicle or if during a natural disaster and I'm either forced to evacuate or home is destroyed I want options" 😁👍
@CA-dm9fu 🤣 lots of emergency preparedness books, medical, gardening, and so on. I think I did a video on important preparedness books to have a while back. 😁
@podsmpsg1 I hope so as well, lol. leather once worked in feels pretty good and lasts quite some time. I have a pair that's about 8 yrs old and still holding up.
nice video. i have another "C" to suggest. Cleaning or Care items. i would add toilet paper in a zip lock bag. everyone poops. no other way to say it. if she has to walk home, she will need to go at some point. if you have some in the car, will she remember to grab it? if she has a friend or two walking with her, they probably will need to go too at some point. with these kits, it better to have and not need, right? and then add a small hotel sized bar of soap or two so she can wash her hands. if there is room, add maybe a compact toothbrush and small tube of toothpaste. again, she might have these in the car or already with her, but will she remember to grab them if she has to head out on foot?
@lorknozzel11 thank you! And yes, having a proper hygiene kit is essential in my book. In my EDC kit, I have a tube of compressed tp. Just add a drop of water, and they expand pretty large, very compact. I'm my GHB or vehicle bag I have as they call them "dude wipes," 😆 but they are just a pack of moisten towelettrs similar to baby wipes. As well as travel toothbrush, paste, chapstick, and other compact travel hygiene items. I like how you converted it into a "C" very cool 😁👍
My problem with the c’s is they leave some things out like hygiene and first aid. I know there’s some like tape and cotton, but it’s not adequate for emergency disasters or whatever. That chain you have for the tripod is a boat anchor if you don’t have the bail that’s sold separately, Dave has some cool stuff but sometimes he’s too much of a salesman. I’d suggest a pot with a bail if that tripod is something you need. The shelter has a bug net but what about a head net for the swarms of pests down there. Don’t recall seeing a tarp either. Lastly, I kind of disagree with the whole grey premise. In war zones there’s a term used called “military aged male” that makes any man or child old enough to hold a rifle a threat or a target. But maybe I’m just thinking too much into it. I’m more of the mind to hide and or anti tracking typed measures, being able to change looks or disguise. Just my take
You make very great points, and yes, the C's lack in certain areas. Kinda why, towards the end, I mentioned medical, communication, and self protection and evasion. The main goal with this video was to at least give folks an idea of building a foundation for their kit and build off that. I truly hope people understand that and that this is just some basic concepts and ideas when building a bag as everyone's needs will vary. I also prep in a more tactical sense than a grey sense. Many people see the name "me" lol and think one way, but don't see that in some instances going grey is good and others not so much. My friends in my group always laugh at me when I'm all decked out in high-speed gear, and we are running drills. They give me a lot of crap calling me not so greyman with a plate carrier loaded up lol 😆 I personally believe knowing and understanding the concepts and where to apply each is important.
@ I’m not knocking the video. Hope you don’t take any offense to what I’m saying. Dave rubs a lot of people in the outdoor community the wrong way, taking ideas as his own. The c’s list for example was taken from a mountaineering book. I’m just saying there are better building blocks than c’s that leave whole categories out. Another thing I wanted to mention was the use of Mylar. It works great for 30 minutes while you’re waiting for the life flight to pick you up but after 30 minutes it starts to have the opposite effect, and as a shelter system it’ll shred in the wind
@n8mayfield Oh no offense takin 😁 I prefer folks to express their opinions as it helps create helpful conversation in most instances, lol, and yeah, I remember the controversy when he was doing that show on discovery or something. I do like Joshua Enyart, "The Grey Bearded Green Beret" solid wilderness and survival instructor well atleast from perspective. Anyway, I appreciate you chiming in and sharing your thoughts! 😁🤘
@@GreyManPrepping his bag build is one of the better ones I’ve seen, but again it echos Dave. The only thing I really learned because I’ve heard the ten c’s a hundred times was his personal preference on brands
Hello grey came by to “C” what’s is CoveRed here. ❤ Staging resources like gear such as the “ClippeR” in advance so there is that “bag” option available. There has been times where the gear helped me from first aid to CoRdage. Therefore one C’s the benefits of being more ready overall. Yes I payed attention that you said that one word 5 times. ( I C that word all time clearly 😂) take CaRe.

thanks for sharing all of this--I need to fine tune my bags.
@SueD. My pleasure, Sue. I truly appreciate you taking the time to watch 🙏
Nice kit Grey. Wife is all set up. I was happy to see your cords are in ziplock bags just like mine..🤣👍♥️😊
🤣 that's the best way to somewhat keep them organized.
Thank you 😀

I’m not likely to bug out but have car bag that needs checked and updated. And I usually get an item or two for my kids for xmas. Very informative. Will rewatch as I check my bag. Thanks!

🦋🇺🇸👋Good afternoon GreyMan from Central Pa
@@BUTTERFLY31214 Hello 👋 😁
Sup, bugging out in most cases is suicide. Imagine millions all bugging out at the same time. Too vulnerable unless you are very early and far away.
@Lazymofoprepper2 I had just discussed this. I'll copy and paste, lol. "That's my plan as well. "Bugging In" That being said, if I'm at work or out in general I want to have a kit in my vehicle or if during a natural disaster and I'm either forced to evacuate or home is destroyed I want options" 😁👍
Another important C - Consumables. You need food/snacks/energy to hoof it home.
Absolutely! 😁👍
As a book lover and someone who works with them constantly i couldn't help but notice the books on the shelf behind you. Anything interesting? 😅
@CA-dm9fu 🤣 lots of emergency preparedness books, medical, gardening, and so on. I think I did a video on important preparedness books to have a while back. 😁
@GreyManPrepping thank you! I'll go take a look!
@CA-dm9fu My pleasure 😁
I'm working on mine. I have five more things to get. I just got a better pair of work gloves, XL leather. Better be good for $15.00 change. LoL.
@podsmpsg1 I hope so as well, lol. leather once worked in feels pretty good and lasts quite some time. I have a pair that's about 8 yrs old and still holding up.

Pepper spray/gel!
@412Rain Good choice. You just have to be conscientious with wind direction with the spray. Gel is definitely much better.
