Thanks for watching guys, hope you enjoyed the video! Here's the link to the complete list: ➡️ Bug Out Bag Packing List: www.patreon.com/posts/32366463

IMO I think having tasteless survival foods is a plus in that you won't be tempted to eat it unless really necessary.

They actually make "solar showers" which are basically a large black water bladder that's meant to attract sunlight and warm the water. My girl and I used one for about a year when we were living in a tiny house that didn't have running water. Not the best but they work. Your water bladder will work perfectly

Watching all these bug out bag videos w the coronavirus spreading, oof

It's not everyday that I bookmark a youtube video. This was entertaining and ALSO very useful. Thanks a BUNCH for sharing.

Knife Sharpening,Get paint stirring sticks from Hardware Store and 120sandpaper,paste sandpaper to sticks like strip! Put blade at 23degrees for sharpening,use like barbers strip,pressing blade down the stick! Double side stick with sandpaper for added use! Happy Hunting!

Good stuff just finished a pack similar to this, think it's needed in the time we live in.....

Respect to you sir, on the 27th November I was homeless and sleeping rough in the woods. A goretex bivy bag and sleeping bag are essential. Wrapping your sleeping bag in a plastic orange survival bag creates condensation, too many days of that and your sleeping bag is soaked. You need water supplies on you to give you time to find water. Clear plastic sheeting and thermal blankets to make a Mors super shelter. I am not talking a few days of bushcraft/survival practice that is uncomfortable but actually real world where you don't know how long you will be roughing it. Love and respect to you and your family ♥️🇬🇧♥️🇺🇸♥️🙏 Johnny from England

Binoculars try the Pentax SD 8x42 WP they have 30yr warranty and fully waterproof. I use a snugpak jungle blanket, they're good for keeping the wind off you in a tarp/basha set up, but if the climate is going to head towards 0/below 0 centigrade (unsure of your climate all year around) then place a good quality wool/lightweight cashmere blanket under it and you'll be fine unless it's heading towards real Arctic temperatures. I use a snugpak Special Forces 2 sleeping bag on my large pack for extended periods as it covers the temp ranges we have in the UK, but still take the Jungle blanket as it's good for wrapping around you if you stop for a break for tea/food or in the evening before bed to relax keeping the wind and colder air off you. I've also used the blanket in an sol escape bivvy, not my best night out in frosty weather but you'll survive.

First of all, kudos on the tactical bag. Grey-man is for suckers 😉 Second, the Silky cuts better than the Bahco anyway. 😮 Third, these new packs are nice, but there’s nothing wrong with the A.L.I.C.E. pack. I toted my 782 gear for ten years after I was discharged. Until some disloyal pog broke into my house and stole it all. Your setup is not bad at all. I would add more fire and water redundancy, because a 72 hour emergency may take longer than three days to sort out. And I always carry a dental kit. Absolutely nothing worse than a toothache to turn 72 hours into three days of hell.

Another awesome video - the only thing we differ on is that “money pit we hope to get a return on”. I will gladly write off the investment I’ve made in my families bags if it means we never have to use them in life threatening survival event. I see my bag as no more than insurance. I train with it and acquire the skills (very thankful to you and many other great KZfaqrs for your awesome advice and content) but I hope never to have to use the knowledge I’ve acquired. That said, I’m the first person my friends call on to light a barbecue so i have “transferable” skills now 🤣🤣🤣

For the Camelbak shower I just used to blow into it real hard to pressurize the bladder and then hang it or lay it on something above my head and then just squeezed the bite valve with my fingers to get a spray of water to come out if needed pressurize again or fill with more water as needed. Heat water from a canteen cup and mix in to get a nice temperature you like. The Geigerrig Pressurized Hydration Engine and Reservoir can be found on Amazon and uses a squeeze bulb like on a blood pressure cuff to pressurize the bladder and is compatible with the Aquamira Frontier Max filter.

You are also forgetting in a real situation you need a primary and secondary weapon. That adds probly another 7-8 lbs

Can’t stop watching your videos!

Thanks for the upload! This was very helpful!

You mentioned making a shower out of the bladder. Just get a Sea to Summit shower. 4oz of weight, and it is great. I'm in FL also. I use it as a shower, dish cleaning, brushing teeth, and heat regulation at a base camp. Easy to cool off under. I put filtered water in it. Some people spend a lot of $ to keep warm, in FL...keeping cool is important!

You might want to add some chest seals to your medical kit because you cant wound pack penetrating injuries to the chest (belly button and up). I think PrepMedic explains pneumothoraxes in some of his videos.

get the snugpak jungle sleeping bag instead of the blanket. its pack size is the same, and it can unzip into a blanket thats larger than the jungle blanket

I'd suggest some 10X42's in bino's, remember if you go to large you will have stability issues (the shakes) with the more power and weight they are.

Me, i use a RiftBlade pack. Compartmentalized in the same way yours is. Only real changes are in the sleep system. Here in Missouri, the winters can and do actually get cold, and Wiggy's Gear has never left me cold, wet, or wanting. Heavier, yes. Worth it, definitely. Other than that, our set ups are similar, and equally effective for the regions in which they would most likely see use! Very well done video! And many Thanks for sharing the info and time!

Very good video. Enjoying your channel. The more you train with your kit the more you will learn what you will actually USE. The more you train and develop your skills the less equipment you will find your self falling back on. I base my kit on the 5 C's. Cover Cutting Combustion Cordage Container I keep maps and a compass with sharpie marker and carpenter pencil. I keep 2 MRE's and 5 or 6 protein bars for food. And I keep a sling shot with 3 spare bands and a small bag of 1 ounce shot. (Also,lots of rocks out there for ammo) for longer term survival. I keep wire and fishing line for snares and trip wires. I keep 2 yoyo fishing reels, 2 large rat spring traps with nails to secure them, and an assortment of survival cards. I just try to keep my kit a light as I can. I don't like big tools like axes and big knives. They make too much noise. Using a saw is much quieter. And a 4 inch knife is all you should need. I use a 21 inch bow saw blade and make my own bow saw in the field from a branch. And I really like the Esee 4. I strip the coating and keep it oiled up with olive oil. Unlike AAA head lamps and flashlights too.

Tactical bag no Fs given! Subscribed.

As for Bino‘s if you’re on a budget go with the vortex diamondback 8x42, if you want a little more quality the viper line is amazing, also eight power is plenty and anybody that says otherwise doesn’t know how to glass, I glass up my deer that I tagged out on just last year from 1600 yards away with 8’s

so a couple items that you might want to consider are, Nuun Active and CLIF BLOKS. Nuun is an electrolyte tab that you toss in your water to give you flavor and help get hydration under control. CLIF BLOKS is a gummy that has tons of carbs for quick energy. i got both items at my local cycling shop but they are also sold at GNC and like stores

As far as the binoculars go, I use a 60 power monocular that I got for about $15.00 at Amazon. It's surprisingly decent quality. I can read a Stop Sign at night close to a quarter of a mile away. Great video, thanks.

I recommend to anyone who is making a pack when you get to food take spices it will make life better. I suggest pepper, smoked slat, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, bay leaves(for soup and they are light weight you can carry a lot in a spice bottle as well as you can put them in your boots to deodorize it's not as good as arm&hammer but works) and last but not least bullion cubes I'd suggest some beef and chicken but I guess you could carry ramen flavor packets and use for soup or maybe a dry rub? Maybe

Essential videos for everyone

Dont wear jeans, the crotch will blow out. In the Marines we used to say "pack light, freeze at night"

Thank you for pointing out the fact that wearing a tactical looking backpack is okay in a survival situation. I'm sick to death of people telling me that they need to blend in and wear some kind of Dora the Explorer pack because the gangs of leather clad motorcyclists well then ignore you.

Bahco Laplander Saw: I use a MOLLE Ground Illumination Flare Pouch. The saw fits perfectly. M9 Bayonet: if weight is no concern go for a Randall's Adventure ESEE-6 blade although I prefer the ESEE-4

Went through similar evolution with shelter... Started with a USMC 2 man tent, then I upgraded to DD Hammock Frontline model in their camo with the tarp and under blanket. I use the Snugpak improved poncho and their poncho liner along with their jungle sleeping bag and can combine the bag with poncho liner in cold. Have a SPLAV air mat as well that goes in the hammock. Have tested down into high 30s F.

Anything vortex. Great warranty and excellent products

Great BOB! I’ve got most of it, glad to get ideas for what I’m missing! Thanks!

Nice to see a new video. I often think about your past videos when I talk about preparing for a possible collapse. I like that you cover different settings and even seasons and climates. Most of us need to be ready to survive in both urban and outdoor settings. We'll need too be able to utilize any and all resources in any survival scenario.

before you get the survival blanket, you better opt for the jungle sleeping bag, which is basically the same plus a hood, a mosquito headnet and the zipper - and it can be had cheaper at most places. the jungle bag is perfect for Florida, but I was able to survive -6C/21°F° in it with the help of the SOL Escape bivy bag. both fit easily in a MOLLE buttpack or even a sustainment pouch. with such a fleece blanket inside it must be heaven xD

Evening buddy from England. Yes you can use your water bladder as a shower. Bloody cold tho 😁. The ruck looks great by itself mate. Will have a look see at this. Cheers for sharing mate ATB Andy 🇬🇧 👍 ☕. Keep it up mate your doing great. Happy Christmas an excellent new year 😁 too you an yours mi friend.

Nice setup. Mine is similar. I appreciate your emphasis on training and environmental considerations.

I personally think the 72 hour bag is a waste. Especially because most people will have the bag at home or in your car. The biggest issue when SHTF will most likely be getting home. So if you don't drive or can't get to your car, you're screwed. Or if you do drive but then get in grid lock because everyone is panicking, you're screwed. I suggest a 24 hour bag that could be stretched into a 48 hour bag at the most if needed to get back home. I have one that fits everything I'm about to list in a school bag that still has more room for whatever else you need on a daily basis. My 24 to 48 hour bag consists of: Tactical knife Swiss army mutlitool Pliers multitool USB battery 900 lumens flashlight Solar/hand crank radio power bank 3x mylar emergency blankets Emergency bivy Large thin towel blanket 3x small washcloths Sawyer water filtration system 3 folding Sawyer water pouches Water purification tablets 750 ml full water bottle. Emergency pancho/tarp 50 feet of 550 paracord 50 zip ties 6 metal tent pegs 2 pairs of socks and underwear Folding brimmed hat with bug net Mini umbrella 2 bic lighters 20 fire sticks 10 Waxed tinder strips 4x hand/feet warmers Small medical bag with added gear Floss and mouth wash Small sunscreen Chafing stick Small hand sanitizer N95 mask Dog spray Small baby wipes package 2x garbage bags Small binoculars 2x Compasses Map of area 2x whistles Mirror 1500 calories food (cliff bars and vegetable/fruit bars) Caffeine tablets Extra key for home (hidden) 100 bucks cash (hidden) That's my pack I've been carrying now for awhile in a regular back pack and everything is in zipped sandwich bags so it's all water proof. No one knows what's in my bag and I keep it that way. I also have a bug out or "camping bag" that is ready for me to leave indefinitely if I had too with a 4 season 1 person tent and some other things that makes it to much weight to carry around every day. But my plan is to stay close to my home in the event we need to leave for a while. Luckily I can disappear into the wilderness almost instantly in most directions from my home. In most emergency situations you'll be at your home riding out the problem. It's only a very rare situation, almost never, that you'll have to leave your home to live in the woods forever. So I suggest buying bottled water or storing water anyway that keeps it safe and also having a 3 month emergency food supply. I bought off of Amazon 3 packages that have a month's supply of food (2k calories per day) 25 year shelf life for just under 300 Canadian each package delivered. I also have a months supply of bottled water which costed about 25 bucks Canadian. Small prices to pay for surviving an emergency. I hope you all stay safe. The world is crazy right now. Best of luck 🍻

I have the same pack, it has a well thought out design and comfortable.

1:32 I like how you Compartmentalize all your Kits...well done.

glad I've kept one since highschool. Also I think a bugout bag is more like a blackhole you dump money into, and hope you DONT need a return on investment. But it's there and you're ready if it's needed.

Nice setup and awesome kit! Well thought out and organized. Merry Christmas to u and your family.👍🍻

You're looking to upgrade your bino, Have you considered a Mono? I really dig the Vortex solo 10*36. It's tough, clear, and compact, plus, the lifetime, no questions asked policies of Vortex is great!

Seen you around a couple times. This may be the first time I’ve actually checked you out; glad I did. I think your humor was good and be Rambo if you want.

You could add one of those cheap lightweight crank flashlight just so your other flashlight last longer or for a back up. But what a great video great B.O.B.

Great set up brother. Very well thought out and comprehensive. Thanks for sharing.

On lights, there are a number of great single battery AA/AAA lights on Amazon that I've become interested in lately. Minimizes the number of batteries you need to retain. Many of them can also use the rechargeable batteries you charge directly with a micro usb cable.

With a backpack cover from Walmart, no matter how tactical your pack is, it blends in. It also covers anything and everything hanging off and is waterproof.

A horde or reptilians! Lol x5 great sense of humour. Great vid.

I saw the lightweight sleeping pad. I have one also (different brand) and that alone sometimes makes the difference between surviving and thriving when out and about in the wild. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!

Nice set up. Very realistic I like it 👌

I’m only 4min in. Hell yeah, I hear on the leatherman. I honestly think it’s an essential tool and a must have in a 72 hours bag, really in any bag! I mean, it’s an all in 1 tool. Love the folding saw and I’d prefer a bahco saw also, but I understand the sacrifice. Nothing wrong with a silky at all really. I seen some sos lifeboat food in the intro. Man have you tried it? Better have some tummy medicine for if you eat that! Looking forward to the rest of the video. Oh, you sound like one of the Franco brothers (actors) lol.

You want more then 2 pair of socks especially if your walking alot, also you want wool socks and you want to change socks often (maybe this will help someone) but take the advise

That Streamlight flashlight can take AAA as well as AA and CR123. Love it.

Gotta say you have a heavy pack. But your editing style and how you present things is amazing. Gives a really good view on things you could need. I'm a ultralight backpacker and it's nice to see a survivalist side when it comes to prepping. Might I add a ultralight solar panel to charge lanterns,headlights,flashlights etc. Really cool to have one in a pack.

Brick of sawdust lmao 😂 this is why I like u

Change your sawdust brick from sas to daytrex. Way better flavor. And easier to use

I'm a pack mule. I carry my USMC issued ILBE. I carry everything for me and 3 people. I carry the shelters and heavy-duty shit. I have 3 5/11 Rush72 packs for people who can't really carry heavy weight. In the Marines the guys would load me out cause I have high endurance and can carry weight longer distances.

You should look into a double layer hammock it will hold your pad in place I recommend the warbonnet blackbird XLC, also look into a goose down top quilt instead of a blanket, more compact lightweight good companies are UGQ outdoor, jacks or better, hammock gear etc

I've been slowly acquiring gear for me and my family and always enjoy watching people's setups. Wish I had the money to get it all at once, but the costs add up quickly especially when there is more Than one person.

Great advice.

A lot of these peppers have lisps, funny.

I recently added a Gerber Gator ax/saw combo to my kit. Very pleased.

Just an idea that been there standard of using all the same batteries,. Even switch to 18650's for headlamp and flashlight a little heavier but last way longer and recharge the rest is great!!

This is a good loadout. I would make some minor adjustments as I live in Norway and the climate is a bit different. Vikings also freezes their ass off.🤪

Plenty of suggestions I’m sure and most of them good. My only suggested ad is some caffeine pills like no doz or something similar. You might not be able to stop and make some coffee and need a pick me up. Chewing them (not the most flavorful but doable) makes them act faster. No bag is completely without them. Light and small, you have no reason not to have any in your bag.

I get return on my investment every time I venture into the woods with my son. Certainly never a money pit. I use my kit regularly and the bonus it’s always there as our insurance policy.

I enjoyed your informative and entertaining video. I've subscribed!

Nice video, only thing I would add is dry bags. Place everything into a large dry bag and then individually waterproof everything inside. Can be a little tedious but at least your spare socks & sleeping system will stay dry! 👍

And a N 100 mask and high end glass goggles. And a prescription of Cipro antibiotic and emergency meds.

The Main Stay survival food tasted better than the SOS.

Good content. Nice setup. I keep my rucksack in my truck, everywhere I go. I add a sleeping bag in the winter. In a bad situation I am gonna stay with my vehicle as long as possible. I am have numerous resources in the truck that would go in my pockets etc. To add to the bag. Additional lighters, knives, multi tools, first aid kits, food and water. There is also clothing, rope, and of course tools. A good map is also a must for me. I have a book called the Back Roads of Texas made by Mapsco. Has every county road and goat path. I would tear out the area i needed and leave the book. Being able to bypass main roads might be handy.

Very good ideas, Thank you very much

Great video my friend as always.Merry Christmas my friend for you and your family.Continue the great job.Thank you for your effert.Wiorwos from Greece

Nice loadout. Semper Fi! My shoulders and back still remember humping an A.L.I.C.E. pack. Scott

The best Bug Out Bag is the brain! The best knife, the best flashlight, the best backpack...ok ,but your brain is the best tool. It must be trained

Great loadout, Brother. If you think youre an old salt, i must be ancient, '80-'84. Semper Fi, you Mighty Awesome Devil Dog. ERRAH!

They do actually have camp showers like that

A top notch kit, very similar to my own, the only thing I'm lacking in is the Baofeng...

Your Steiner Safari binos are availible in 10x26 too (same design, some 85€ from amazon) - check it out. Steiner is one of the best brands on the market. IMHO monoculars suck, I always go with binos. I never waste space, bulk and money on a tourniquet - out in the field it's nearly useless, because you need to get to a hospital within some 90 minutes max. You can always take some cordage and a stick to substitute it. In my first-aid-kit I always carry special finger strips from Band-Aid (Johnson&Johnson) - in most cases I cut my fingers. Their adhesive is incredible, I carried some of them for about 20 years and they still stick well. Your socks from adidas and under armour look rather thin and "sporty" (cotton/polyamide). In cold weather I wear wool socks from the austrian army as a second layer with a pair of nylon or polypropylene socks underneath - very soft and warm. IMHO best survival food is nuts and raisins - no cooking required, compact, tasty and healthy. Didn't hear you talk about spare batteries for your flashlights. I put mine in a HD plastic bag and seal it, so they are waterproof. For comms I prefer a hand-crank radio, nowadays they come with an USB-plug to recharge other devices. Lastly I'm missing some leather gloves and a space blanket in your pack.

A lot of good ideas, and I think a decent compromise between weight, cost, and redundancy. I'm a retired SF medic turned thru-hiker and go back and forth on weight vs comfort all the time. I would personally go lighter, but that's my preference and thru-hiker mentality. Good video.

Florida, Canadian winter Bug out location. It's November 2021 and I'm packing my survival kit right now, shorts sandals lotion

The urge to play Rambo lol

I have actually moved away from rucks with zippers on them myself but it is more personal preference than a percieved issue with the designs. My one bag weighs 17lbs all in with no water or food (that is kept separate ready to be tossed in) but it would be a bit rough for cold weather up here north of the 49th. I love the bayonet as a camp/survival knife! I have been rocking the Eickhorn CAN2005 bayonet for a few years now off and on for my trips.

Thanks brother, Semper Fidelis.

Love the video

The reptilian horde is in DC lol

Best water canteen with Bacteria,virus and radiation filter= Saychelle brand canteen....

Hey! I’m the some guy in Canada 🇨🇦 😂 Currently trying out different options for surviving in the cold when fires are not an option

Great Video, as usual. Cheers!

Awesome loadout ! 👍🏻🇺🇸

When You've got a REAL "SHTF" situation, the last thing You'll be consearned with, are howe to reach people, at "Social Medias". They'll ALL be viped out. Recharge Your's flashlights...😉

How can we bug out without soup? We need a zesty charge-up when running away from toxic lizard people! Green Zebras are heirloom tomatoes with a striped pattern; they are sweet like red tomatoes but give this gazpacho a lovely jade hue. To make the chilled soup extra tangy, use tomatillos or unripe red tomatoes instead of Green Zebras.

"3 hours without shelter" omg poor construction workers.. they're dying left and right..

Great video thank you.

Thanks for filming

ALICE pack, the good old days LOL

Awesome!

Good video

Take all your small kit bags (empty) and weigh them
