6:06 - you're welcome Don't get me wrong, the message is on point, but a lot of us are already in the choir. I suggest the following additions: 1. Mechanics gloves 2. Poncho 3. Nylon tarp & QD Ridgeline 4. Eye pro

As an o.t.r driver I carried everything for my personal use in the cab. And, I mean everything. I horded on the truck it drove my wife crazy! I have slimmed it down alot this past year. I would often be 1000 or more miles from home. I haven't had any major problems but, as you said, maintaining core temperature was always top priority and water. If the diesel truck quit I would be at mercy of the weather. Good video. The idea of walking away from vehicle to get home was on my mind. While your right that each situation is different I eventually carried a large medical bag and barter items. The farther away from home a person is the more skill and knowledge will be needed. Thanks for making the video.

Right on Stoker! Well said as always.

I keep half of a hacksaw blade wrapped in paper in my bag - I like to think of it as a bicycle 😂

its a great idea, I have had one in the truck for years. I have to say I went with a military pack and have added quit a bit more gear than I probably need. It could easily be a 72 hour bag too. Also made a bag for the wife vehical and both nices too. Love your content.

Great setup. The only thing I would add is a sawyer mini or lifestraw, you can boil it but that takes fire, and fire is noticable.

The only disaster scenario I have experienced was the Loma Prieta earthquake. By luck, I had recently returned from a backpacking trip and had my full pack in the trunk of my car. My wife and I were not allowed back into our apartment until it could be inspected, which took three days. Everyone was camping out on the grass, but we did it in style with tent, sleeping bag, pad and stove. It was very unnerving to feel all the aftershocks while sleeping on the ground.

My GHB is less than 12lbs with food and water included. However...I keep extra supplies in my truck to add to the bag depending on distance from home. I drive 208 miles round trip 4 days a week

I travel 24 miles to work through rural and suburban areas. I wear dress clothes for work. So I have a change of clothes and shoes in a large ziplock bag. The pack contains: hammock, tarp, headlamp, multitool, fixed blade knife, change of socks (in ziplock bag), light jacket, compass, map, hat, bug dope (Florida), sunscreen, contractor trash bag, basic first aid pouch, 2 days of food, silcock, small cook kit, BeFree water filter, write in the rain pocket notebook and sharpie. The pack and clothes are in a duffle. The pack has a water bladder which is empty so I keep 6 liters of water in the duffle to camel up and load the bladder before heading off. I also EDC a Glock and 2 spare magazines. I am an experienced backpacker, wilderness canoer and hunter which gives me the confidence of going off road if needed. The kit is only 18 pounds wet. Even though if all goes well I could be home in one to two days, I have learned that stuff happens and most plans go out the window so I could travel a long time with this kit. Thanks for your video and I am looking forward to the map video you mentioned. I have a substantial river to cross and only two routes with bridges between work and home. Thanks again.

that was some very good information. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot for this video, thanks

Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Thank you Roll Tide appreciate you bro

Depending on your situation....barter items, silver coins. Pistol, mag, shells. Backup knife, sharpening rod

i normally just keep my main pack with me plus extras under my back seat but after watching this i will be making up a small pack setup for my truck TY Brother great info

Perfect setup. Lowkey and minimalistic. I too am in the Puget sound 👍🏻

Looks like you got it Stoker one suggestion make sure you have some mole skin if you plan on a lot of walking and extra medication if your on BP meds or something put extra in your bag.

Thanks Top. I’m on it.

Some good ideas. I'll have to add a few things to my bag. Thanks. Again.

What I carry in my bag is very simple. It's basically a cross between the ten "c's" and the Marine Corps survival kit. For shelter I have a light 10 x 10 ft tarp with a paracord ridge line about 30 ft long. The knife I generally carry is a condor bushlore on my belt and A Victorianox Trekker in my pocket. I carry my Cammenga model 27 with a notebook and a protractor and generally a map of the area that I'm planning on being in and if I can't carry the map you can believe I've got my compass with me anyway. Two quart canteens with metal cups and one canteen cup stove. An East German cookset, a folding saw,a military surplus poncho and a fire starting set consisting of a Bic lighter, 6" X .5" ferro rod, assortment of matches in a waterproof match safe, a 2" 6x magnifying glass, a fresnal lens and a hank of 550 for bowdrill cord. I like waxed cotton tinder and fatwood.Fanwood. I carry a decent first aid kit focusing on cuts, burns and breaks. Got several types of bandaid for general booboos. Aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen and water purification tabs. Hand and especially foot warmers in the winter. I carry two bandanas and a shemagh.

Good video Stoker That's a well thought out bag. When I get back home I'll be putting together a few more bags for the family to keep in their trunks. This video was a good heads up reminder with good recommended supplies. Thanks Stoker! Stay smart stay safe brother

Take perspective peeps. Emergency bag is definitely important. But realize hundreds of thousands of people survived 9/11 in NYC and Tri-State area without get home bags.. Same thing with 92 LA Riots, and all the earthquakes and fires out west. You really just need to be prepared to walk, get water and mask to block out dust. Most people will be kind and helpful, even the ones you think our thugs. Long term disruption is a different story, but a 1 day event should be survivable

I carry a pack every day. I carry some emergency gear in that, and a bin of extra supplies in my truck. It gets cold and wet up here in upstate NY. Now I’m wondering if I should have a dedicated bag. I carry similar items. Thank you 👍🏻

You choice of gear is pretty much same as mine, I added a couple tools to mine. My daily commute goes from rural to urban. I added a pry bar, small hack saw, crescent wrench, I carry a rescue knife Gerber CLS with a glass breaker.

So I'm three minutes into this and while I agree with everything you've said, none of the cities that you mentioned so far have a national forest or woods like you're waking into. GHBs are my hobby and obsession, yet there are not many for the person that has to get home through a xburban, suburban, or even urban environment. And then let's throw in winter in the Denver metro area, so we're sleeping in some lean-to 10x10 tarp. And the water isn't from a stream, so throw out all of those cute hiking and camping water filters. They don't filter out street chemicals in that puddle at the end of the coul de sac.

Poncho? Camo pack cover that turns civillian pack into woods compatable.

Friend, your mind and mine are in an incredible connection, my car broke down and I worked far from home and I had to make the decision to walk but luckily I was wearing an emergency backpack and it's not a joke that happened to me and you can see it in a video I made that day and uploaded it to KZfaq. Well from that day on, not only one I have a few emergency backpacks that I prepare myself for different reasons, to save my family's life and mine as well. You can watch the video if you want it's a bit short and I titled it like that. Walk 7 miles 15 kilometers of Roger Fernández On May 18, 2018

I use your buddy Dave Canterberry's 10 C's, plus Sig p320, Kabar, UV-5R, , IFAK, 20 lbs total

I carry pretty much everything you do and quite a bit more. My pack weighs about twenty-five pounds. If I found myself in a situation where I’d have to walk a long distance, I could easily pare it down to half of that or less and be confident that I could get home or wherever I decide to go.

I don’t currently have such a bag. But you’re explanation makes me reconsider. The scenarios you brought out seem plausible compared to the guys who are looking for the zombie apocalypse or other such things. I wonder now if I should have kept my HAM license active. Hmmm. You made me think.

2A Tool? Water purification (other than boilin)?

Note for urban situation I also cary a kick scooter in my car.

I would appreciate knowing more about the clothing you are wearing and where you got it. Not so much as advertising but because the number one priority is shelter isn't it???

My bag contains Baofeng 2m 70cm Ham radio, Ontario 499 knife, first aid including lidocaine/syringes and sutures (vacuum sealed) 7 day supply meds (vacuum sealed) 550 cordage, ferro stick, extra sox/poncho (vacuum sealed) trail mix (vacuum sealed) 2 litre bladder (built in pack) a few Mountain House (what the hell) MSR stove thingy, Compass and my Ruger Old Army .45 (goes with me everywhere regardless. Iam sure iam missing a few things, but the pack is manageable. The last several months have been volatile, and I can bet it going to get worse before better especially since Nov 3rd, am I missing something?, Probably, will what I have help?, Absolutely. Great video Stokermatic as always, I have yet to watch one of your vids that "I haven't" learned something from, Thank you!.🇺🇸✌️👍

Well my bag is bigger and has a little more. From work to home is 65 miles one way driving. So I'm looking at about 4 days hike. About half way through before I can trust the water to purify from a major city.

Only thing my pack is missing is the HAM radio. during the snow storm I was caught in the middle of no where had to pull over because I couldn’t see the road anymore had no signal on my phone even with a booster. Luckily I had my get home bag so I had a bivvy some body heaters and food my pack is a bit bigger. I work 7hours away from my home

I am a 63 year old Cold War Vet who regularly travels with my wife up to 125 miles from home. The only thing I worry about is food if we should have to hoof it home. Along with some conventional items, I pack pemmican and hard tack. They are light weight with high calorie and fat content.

#5..

Stoker, I didn't see a poncho or other rain ware. Do you plan on using the trash bag of that? Also I don't know how far you have to go. Are you sure one granola bar provides enough energy for the trip?

Looking to get the mck for my glock so I can get those far targets because I do carry my rifle and vest I do go out for jogs with my vest mags and my back but would like to shad that weight

Excellent, but I don’t know why it took 2yr to pop up in my feed 😊

Just a beginner, but have seen alot of videos on this topic, just speaking for myself, I thought what you presented was a nice foundation. Was wondering you left the tarp out? I would carry one. Really liked knowing about the type of backpack to carry. Good point. What about cash? Again am just learning. Thank you sir.

hi stoker, the bag looks nice. Do they sell them separately apart from the camera? Would you give us the brand of the bag? Thank you.

I'd trade most of that for a wool blanket.

And a sat.. phone

I didn't see any blades or multi-tools in that bag .. What's up with that ?

I don’t think there is any scenario that would keep you from getting home. No bag needed.
