Nice set up. For 48 hours I would add: 1. Water filter. 2. Thin rain poncho 3. Cheap set of sun glasses

One thing on comms. All radios, cell, even satellite phones can be down, turned off, scrambled and Cray computers are always listening. If yours works, always speak in code that you and yours can understand. And dont talk long as your location can be triangulated.

Really clear picture and great sound! Good video

Thanks for sharing your iteration of a get home bag. It does seem like you've hamstringed yourself on water though... Especially for 48 hours...we all have opinions and mine would be with your set up to carry something like a Condor or similar water molle cozie with shoulder strap, so you'd at least have a Nalgene quart water bottle... and at minimum water purification tablets or a mini sawyer... But just my opinion of course... Thanks for sharing n' God bless brother

Awesome video, just one thing: take the tourniquet out of the bag. If you need to use it on yourself, you don’t want to be fumbling with packaging/trying to open it with one hand and a mouth

Consider adding a four way will dock key. In an urban environment they would be indispensable to procure more water from outside commercial and industrial buildings. For five to ten dollars you basically have a key to the city.

Nice vid. Great load out instead of a 30 pound pack. I noticed this because I have a bad back. I’m thinking I may have to pack folding e bike, my concern is someone trying to take it from me. For me I would add a garbage bag, a collapsible water bag with a sawyer micro, a silcock key and a second source of fire of your choice, everyone knows what they are, I like the Prepared4x ferro rods because they make both a large and small size with a 36” tinder torch attached. Along with your spare reading glasses a spare set of sunglasses and some cash. These shouldn’t take up too much space. If you had room, maybe an entree from an mre and some hard candies like grandma always Carried in her purse. I know the possibilities are endless, anymore and you’re back with a full backpack. Thanks again for the vid, I just subd. The 893. If this was too much to add the comment made before this one, below mine had good advice.

Glad to hear you’re all safe.

smart, I roll with a chest rig aswell for that rapid deployment at a moments notice. People think it looks ridiculous but thats the difference between the assets and liabilities.

Thanks Joe for this video, I have prepared an EDC like this to keep in the car. Here in Europe, bad times are expected.

Cool kit, I like the idea of the emergency water an a electrolyte tab to super charge the water 👍🏼

Considering you live in a dry climate, I would consider a small water filter. Living In Wyoming, the one package of water may not sustain me for 48 hrs. but you would need a canteen. Otherwise, I like what you carried.

I agree with what you did. My only criticism is to get a MRE in there.

I purchased two 15 round mags for my Shield Plus and the more extended real estate makes it a game changer. It almost feels like a full size pistol now. Maggots and Magshack have them. Just something i noticed that you might like, other than your 13 round mags. 👍

Grabbed one of those bags I ended up putting the flashlight and electronics into a mini faraday bag to carry in it as well

Well thought out system. I carry more water than you do. I like to have the capability to have one gallon of water. In summer under high exertion, I need one to 1.5 gallons of water a day. I have found that water can found in my area, S-E Georgia, readily. However, if I want to move quickly and without concern for immediate water resupply, I need a minimum of three quarts of water storage, a gallon gives me a margin of safety. In S-E Georgia, S-E South Carolina or N-E Florida? Looking for a group? Checkout South-East Georgia Freedom Forum.

Good video. I ordered the pack it’s better than my Danny pack as I like to cycle. what is have that is different Those caffeine gummies things go bad. I added a small energy boost liquid I carry a flashlight with a ball cap clip so can work on the truck or walk at night if I have to do so. A 10:18 leatherman wave on my belt and the watch pocket of my jeans has eye drops for dust or whatever I have spare glasses instead of just readers that are impact proof A big handkerchief

I would use a blue chemlight and yellow highlighter with your map. Mark out your path home beforehand, the other colors won’t show the highlighted route but the blue one will. If they are good enough for Rambo , they are good enough for me :)

There are more than a few ways that show how to affix a water bottle/Nalgene type to that rig.

thanks for sharing man, stay safe out there 💪

I’d love to see 48 hours (late spring or summer) testing of this kit. Go hike how many ever miles with this and camp out for two days. Nothing like a good test

At least you have a plan n are prepared

All great ideas. I would suggest an extra pair of clean socks and moleskin for blisters. Your feet will be doin most of the work. If their down…it’s the end of the walk home. Other great suggestions in these comments.

Keep them coming brother . 👍👍🇺🇸👏😎🌴

Not bad setup. I'd swap out the pen for grease pencil for writing on maps,Windows, and drywall sometimes sharpies don't always work

Launch that stock antenna. The retractable Nagoya is good.

Good job. Everyday items. Not a bunch of expensive gimmicky stuff. 👍

For your radio comms. Print and laminate frequency lists, FRS, GMRS, MURS frequency lists. Along with local fire and ems etc. Keep them with your radio...

Finally a solid planned get home bag!!! Thank you sir!! You nailed it! Everyone else has a bunch of crap that is totally useless in urban areas. You don't need a damn ferro rod or water purification system in the city! Perfect kit! Well done!!!!

One thing that’s an absolute must in my EDC is an InCharge 6 n 1 charging cable, a must and also a hank of cordage

All the tacticool stuff will just get you identified as someone who most likely has gear worth stealing. Civilian gear doesn't look cool, but it will help you look more average. Try out brands like nike, under armor, and puma for your clothes, hats/accesories, and backpack. I love tactical stuff; however, my get home situation would require me to walk through rough urban areas to get home.

Good system. Maybe add extra batteries for light and radio.

the pouch itself is nice and the items are usable, but for 48 hrs you will have a problem without more water or at least an option to transport more water. just a normal sunny day and you have to walk a few mile will bring you on the edge of dehydration. that´s a point you have to rethink

I have that same pack and really like it. Seems well made and like the organization. Stay safe and NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A PATRIOT 🇺🇲 🇺🇸

Nice

Nice down and dirty set up. Personally I’d substitute a headlamp for your flashlight so you can go hands free.

Can you make a video elaborating on your radio plan for communicating with your family

Great video brother, but I hate to say it. You wouldn’t survive 1/2 day with what you have. Most of those things, you don’t need. May I suggest a camel bag, with 2-3 liters of water and the basics. Knife, headlamp, gun, ammo and the emergency blanket. 2-3 extra mags for the shield.

Great video but i saw one thing u said that your light and radio and lighter are electric and my opinion is that is better to have those things on batteries because outdors u cant recharge things

Quick question regarding the three Chen sticks. When you say the different colors represent different threats; is that for people that knows you and your family and are they aware of what each color means?

Ever consider adding a sillcock key to access water?

Carry pretty much all the same, but in a small non tactical looking north face pack. Look more like a day hiker or student. No moral patches or anything that denotes me as prior military or affiliated with any 3% er or paramilitary organization. I want to blend in with the masses as much as possible.

What is your weapon of choice for your bug out?

Hydrapak collapsible water bottle and purification tabs, will leep you going if you can find a water source

Basic bug out bag

Don't forget the torque wrench.😅

Nice basic minimal kit.

Cool pouch. What is the name?

Put $100 in 20’s in the bag, and one or two Mainstay 1200 bars. That would give you 2400 calories of lightweight durable food.

Why are your pistol magazines facing different directions?

To me that seems more like a get home kit than an edc. My edc is much smaller and lighter and not so doom and gloom. Edc shoukd have cash! Most every problem you will face that may stop you getting home can be solved with cash.

You’re missing a cheap poncho. Getting soaked sucks, a 1 dollar Walmart poncho is small and easy to store.

Take the TQ out of the packaging

I like where you are going with this, but, I have to be "that guy" and say that you should drop the Chinese knock off and get a USA made original Hill People Gear Kit Bag.

If you need 48 hours to get home then you have bigger issues than making sure you have a tourniquet, personal protection and radio. These are getting really ridiculous.

You've got pretty decent gear, some like the knife is even top notch, but your holster is hot garbage, especially the BS plastic clips that WTP puts on their holsters. That seriously needs an upgade.

So sleep under a tree in the rain ok

Interesting…..
