Get Home Bag loadout in 5.11 Tactical All Hazards Nitro (also SAR & First Aid!)

Here’s a full loadout breakdown of a Get Home Bag I’ve built into 5.11 Tactical All Hazards Nitro backpack. Always ready in the trunk of my vehicle, it also works as a go bag for search and rescue operations (I’m a member of The Voluntary Rescue Service of Finland) as well as an extended first aid kit. Here’s what 5.11 says about the backpack:
“Take the fight with you. The All Hazards Nitro Bag features dual main compartments, a 180 degree opening for easy access, pass through slots for breaching tools for a baton, loop patches, and a 3-surface MOLLE- and Slickstick® compatible web platform. An orange lining helps you identify your gear in low-light, and the all-purpose shove-it pocket holds your helmet or jacket. Bag of the brave.”

Taival Outdoors is a channel about the great outdoors, spending time in nature doing everything from day hikes and overnight adventures to bikepacking and multi-day wilderness backpacking. Trekking is close to my heart, but I’m not tied to any particular "genre" like ultralight or bushcraft - instead I do what I've found through my experience in the wild to work the best for me. I'm also making gear reviews and skill videos based on what I actually use and how I operate in nature. Thanks for watching!

Wow, a truly competent (rather than show-off) Get Home bag setup with a proper first aid kit. Such a rare gem on youtube. And huge respect for Voluntary Rescue Service.

I have had the Nitro as my daypack for hiking for a couple of years. I really like it and it's amazing that very few people seem to have one or review them on KZfaq. The only thing I'm finding a challenge is locating a good-sized rain cover that can deal with a couple of side pouches. Most civilian ones seem to be tall and skinny even if you pick a larger litre size.

I've noticed that too that it's not too popular, not sure why. Perhaps people just are not keen on packs that differ from the vanilla "assault pack" style.

That's a solid setup! I thought about setting up a get home bag as well but I live in Germany. A country with a very high population density. But the very basics, like enough water or a blanket in the winter, should be in every car regardless where you live.

@TaivalOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

I agree that the basics are pretty much universal. As for the contents themselves, I'd say it comes down to threat modelling.

I have had this bag since 2016, I use it almost daily on my walks along the ocean in the southeast USA. I absolutely love it. It has been outside in the sun, the sand, the rain, the heat, and the salt water, and it is still running strong. It was the first bag that I ever owned that had a helmet stuffer pouch, which I found to be incredibly useful for carrying my soccer cleats to and from games and practices. And unlike the AMP series (which I like but have a few issues with) this bag has MOLLE webbing and velcro patches on the sides AND it actually can stand up straight on its own!! I will admit that it is a bit ridiculous regarding how far the bag sticks out behind me, but I love it. It also showed me the value of having internal MOLLE loops. You've got some good stuff I'm here!! I would love to see a review of the 5.11 PT-R gym bag, it looks cool but it doesn't seem to have a waist belt attachment point system, and although in one of your other videos you said that you didn't think that it was necessary to have a waist belt for 30 L bags (you were reviewing the 32L AMP 24), I respectfully disagree, even when I am carrying this Nitro bag I still use the weight bell system, it's just makes my back feel better when I use it. Also, I don't know if you are a fan of Direct Action, but they FINALLY made a bigger version of their Dragon Egg, called the Dragon Egg Enlarged, it's 30 L. I just took it on a four-day trip to Puerto Rico, traveling and driving around the island, stay in hotels, but doing serious hiking during the day, and I managed to fit everything I needed for all four days in just that one bag, which was great because a was able to carry it on the plane. Check it out!! And great work on this channel!

Thanks for the comment man! Yeah this definitely a very different bag design-wise compared to AMP series. About the waistbelt stuff, I haven't really felt like I needed one except when I do rucking events, then the extra support is great, as the weights of the bag tends to be more than what I usually carry in ~30l packs. 5.11 has just released their Rush Belt Kit and I think it should fit my AMP24 as well as this one, I might ask them if they could send one for a test and review before my next rucking event. As for Direct Action, it's a bit less known here in Finland. I've found only two stores that sell some of their gear. No personal experiences yet though!

Great setup! I really enjoyed watching the video. Im my opinion, the bag is perfect for what you wanna do with it. Even if you use it as a 72hours bag, to get from point a to b... the only thing you would need some extra of is water... really great setup... i would love to show you mine. Greetings from BE.

@@TaivalOutdoors because you life in Finland where the waters are fresh, i would consider bying a Grayl filter system. You can replace the bottle in the bag with that one and you would upgrade your watersupply with 150L per cartridge.

Tämä on hyvä. Suomalaisittain jokaisen pitäisi varautua, olla valmis toimintaan ja varustaa ns. 'Vapepalaukku'. Tarkoitus ei niinkään ole oma pelastautuminen, toki myös sekin, mutta ensisijaisesti vapaaehtoisen pelastuspalvelun toimintaan ryhtyminen. Lähtöhetkellä vain joidenkin tuntien pärjäämiseksi eväät tms purtavaa lisättynä, niin että pärjää 4-5 tuntia omilla eväillä.

Harmillisesti tuntuu, että suomalaisilla on vähän se perinteinen "kotivara" ajattelukin päässyt unohtumaan, siitä nyt puhumattakaan että autossa olisi laastareita kummempaa ensiaputarviketta.

@erkkikarvinen1783 2 жыл бұрын

Koskaan ei tiedä, millä oksalla piru istuu. MPKn eli Maanpuolustuskoulutuksen kursseilla koulutettiin mm taistelupelastajan taitoja ja kaveri hommasi cat -kiristyssiteen auton ea-laukkuun. Kuinka ollakkaan mökillä puita hakatessa, yksin, lipsahti kirves jalkaan ja kaikki verisuonet ja lihakset poikki. Ambulanssin tulo kesti lähes kaksi tuntia ja kiristysside ja käyttökoulutus oli ainoa hengen pelastus. Suomalaiset ovat eläneet liian kauan perinteisesti turvallisissa oloissa. Nyt kun vesi-, sähkö-, puhelin/tietokone-, taksi-, sairaankuljetus-, kaupan palvelut ovat oleellisesti vaarantuneet, ei olla herätty omaan varautumiseen kuten muualla maailmassa. Huoltovarmuus Suomessa petti jo pahan kerran ja avasi mätäpaiseen yhteiskunnan hiljaiselossa. Vastuut siirtyvät kansalaisille enenevässä määrin...

Nice video. I have one question: have you thought about getting a Swat-T or r.a.t.s. tourniquet for stopping the bleeding on an injured child or a really skinny adult? (They also take up very little space) I have heard some people suggest that that kind of tourniquet is better for those with really small arms, but i have no experience with them myself.

@TaivalOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks. No I haven't thought about that, in fact I can't recall hearing those arguments myself. I can see the logic though as those tourniquets have a bit different form factor.

@fredrikronnberg684 3 жыл бұрын

I was thinking about getting myself a Swat-T for the shooting range bag after using them in the finnish army. The key advantage in my eyes though is that untrained personnel would have a much easier time using them compared to conventional tourniquets, like for example if you're the one that gets hurt. I wonder what the draw backs are though.

@TaivalOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

@@fredrikronnberg684 I have no experience with swat-t, but I think it at least used not to be TCCC approved and self application is apparently quite hard. Would be interesting to see a test though where people who have never played with tourniquets would try to use them without instructions.

@Raventommm 2 жыл бұрын

@@TaivalOutdoors its true what you say about the swat-t, it is not aproved yet, but well used alot, however... it has nothing to do with people that are smaller, the application is better for kids because of the bonedensity they have if you compare with an adult.

ok, you have to be clear about the differences between a Home-Bag and a 72-hour backpack ... wathever.... HOME-BAG don't pass to 10 hours, If that happens, it is because a 72-hour backpack is needed, you need effectiveness, versatility, not extra weight.

@TaivalOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

In the end, those are just marketing labels. What if you need to do what you do for 73 hours? Does the 72-hour backpack become obsolete? Of course not. Regarding this backpack loadout, 99% certainty I'm home or done whatever I need to do within 24 hours, most likely in less than 5 hours. However, during three seasons it could be stretched to last 3 days, but I can't imagine a realistic need for that.

@URBANELITECO 3 жыл бұрын

No, it's called preparation, you don't send a ranger on a SEAL mission, you know, I repeat, you have to understand the concept of the HOME BAG to a 72-hour backpack, do you carry that backpack all the time? That is why it is called HOME-BAG to return to my house, (I leave work, RETURNING and I have an emergency, only if I am outside RETURNING) sometimes we have to put some logic if we want to teach something but I see that searching prevails more subscribers than anything else, If you do some kind of course, survival, EMT, the first thing they teach you is that, but hey is your "concept" good Night.

@@URBANELITECO Not sure where you're pulling this 72-hour stuff from? This bag is meant to get me, (or in case of SAR work, someone else) back home. That's it. This is not survival, or SERE or whatever trendy bag. It's extremely straightforward in my eyes. Sure if you live in California or whatever, then you don't need to pack this heavy, but extra clothing and cover is essential for Finnish winters. Distances can be quite long over here to the nearest house or gas station, in case my car breaks down. This backpack is in my vehicle at all times.
