Damn, stop making me jealous with the handguns :( Living in England fucking sucks in that sense.

Pretty reasonable. A few things to ponder: I've spent 2 weeks in the back woods before and never felt like I needed more than 1 knife and sharpening stone. You live 20 miles from work - will there be reasonable places to build open fires? Consider fuel canister & micro stove, or "Esbit" solid fuel folding stove. Consider changing Nalgene bottle for stainless container of same dimensions. Don't carry your defensive weapon on your back, zippered up. Keep up the good work and stay prepared

I presume you are thinking of walking to get home. Food for three days but just one pair of socks and they are in use. In some of these get home bag videos I'd like to see somebody to really think about their primary tool, their feet.

Less knives and flashlights and more food/water and first aid gear IMO.Remember yes its is a "Get Home Bag",BUT what folks in most of these videos seem to miss is what if you "get Home" and your home is GONE??Then you are stuck with ONLY the items your carrying!Other than the redundant lights and knives very sweet pack.Its good to see people that are organized and PREPARED!

Just saying don't put a knife out in the open because some people will take it when u Are not looking

ahhh ... a paranoid pack !!

I think you don't carry enough knives.

Great kit brother, nice setup its amazing what you can fit in these bags!! Can I suggest another piece of kit... A par of socks. I know you live in the south but its always nice to have a dry par even if its for sleeping in (if you have too). Nothing worse then sleeping in bare feet if you only have sandals on at the time! Thanks for sharing, take care, Josh

Something I'm not seeing in a lot of the videos...Water.

You need none of that shit. That bag owns you....

LOL!!! I would give ya a ride brother and thanks for coming around my friend, You always manage to put a smile on my face.

Nobody ever talks about my favorite leatherman tool... The CRUNCH. Totally under rated. It's vice-grips for god sake! A must have companion to the Wave.

The items shown could certainly be useful in rare situations and are worth keeping in the trunk of your car but christ I hope you aren't edc'ing that backpack. I have the same backpack I carry every day to work but aside from my work items (laptop, drawing tablet, sketchbook, pens pencils, charging cables etc...) I have my Victorinox multitool, one mid sized folding knife (if not in my pocket), a small DMT sharpener, bandaids, aspirin, and a hobo tool for lunch... oh and a flashlight. Not a chance I'd be lugging 5 knives, a shelter kit, 5 types of fire, a pistol, spare mag and all the other stuff "just in case." I'm certainly not going to go into insulting you or anything but I would recommend really thinking about what you need everyday and what you might need "just in case" and make those two separate things. keep the "just in case" in the car instead of carrying it around in your backpack.

i live in Beirut mate and i actually carry a bag almost exactly the same for uni. all ive got in it other than books and crap is a good self made first aid kit with a swiss army knife in it and a little pouch with some wire, zip ties, duct tape and plastic bags. and i only carry that stuff because i cycle everywhere

Not bad, all in all, so I will be gentler than some commentators... But as one who grew up in South Florida, I would ditch some of the knives and the big malgene/cup for some BUG NETTING. Some extra socks too, in case your feet get wet in the constant Florida rains or the canals you have to cross. Keep it REAL! Think about what you will REALISTICALLY be doing when you need to GET HOME...

Always remember when it comes to anything in your kit if you loose any of it 1 is none 2 is 1 3 is just fun Keep redundant ! Good bag and good day sir !

Nice bag clean, to the point and organized.

throw some colored para cord on those small bags so you know the diff between each. thumbs up.

its the Maxpedition Typhoon. Awesome backpack.

I like how you included the state map...great idea, thanks for sharing!!!

Nice, neat little bag and contents.

I count 5 knives. The only thing you need to get you home if your only 20 miles from home would probably the compass and the map. Well done though for weighing yourself down with the non essentials.

Looks like a well organized system. I see some redundency which is always good. Our get home bags should always be evolving. I change mine a couple times a year. Good video, thanks.

Thank you my friend and you are right. It gets hot as hell down here in Florida too as I'm sure you know. I've never really had much problem with getting sunburned but I do have a small packet of sunscreen in my med kit. Thanks for your comment. :)

I might trade one of your knifes for a saw and add a poncho. good set up, solid and straight forward.

Love that like I ... You have more than 3 knifes ! I carry 2 fixed blades ( one being the bk2 ) and 1 folding plus leather man wave

Like the direction you whent with this kit The shaving kits are an excellent idea I will be setting into mine tomorrow Thanks for the idea

I've been trying to decide which bag to get all damn day, I had decided on this one then changed my mind three or four times. After seeing your informative video I'm sticking with my first choice, the Typhoon. Thanks very much.

Might want to consider moving the knives off of the back of the bag. They are lethal weapons and can be easily accessed by someone behind you when you are wearing the bag. If you are concerned about having a defensive option being readily available, maybe attach the pepper spray to the side of the bag, or to a shoulder strap. That will buy you some time to transition to a firearm if needed and will keep the knives out of other peoples hands.

Nice kit, don't forget the bandanas! maybe safety glasses in case of dust as well.

I like how you use the hygiene bags, thumbs up for organization. The only thing I would recommend adding is some type of trauma kit with quikclot and a pair of latex gloves GrecoSwede made a good point about knifes being clipped on the outside. Easy fix, clip them inside the webbing like you would if they were in your pocket.

Looks good I would add a little bottle of gun oil or some wipes.

All that stuff never been used, hardly a edc more a emergency survival pack

Great looking bag and gear!

That is a very nice looking set up from the outside but - not knowing where you live - you will be a huge target with the look of that thing, knives and stuff hanging out. If you want to get home don't call attention to yourself. You "look" TOO prepared. If you lived where I do you would be attacked in a shtf situation. Stay normal.

Thanks for your comments brother, I'm glad you liked it. I don't have any MRS's in it but I do have 9 colossal MET-rx bars and if I go further away I'll just bring my BOB. :)

Very good video, sweet rig you've got there! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks brother! I'm glad you liked it and yeah I'm always changing things around in my gear.

Great bag. I like the way you set it up.

Nice kit & bag!

Thanks for the suggestion Josh! That's a good Idea and I'll do that. I have a par of socks in my BOB but I should probably have one in my get home bag too.

Great information. Thanks for sharing.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Great Job :)

Throw some paracord in there.

Good stuff! you have all the essentials ticked off there. You have doubled up on a few things- knives, torches and fire starters. But I guess its important backup kit.

That's for sure a great kit BrotherHP!! Gotta love the Swedish knife!! :))

1 umbrella, A CamelBack type product would be more convenient and need more water, A military poncho will help from getting water splashed on you from cars if it is raining, A couple more food items might be good if you were planning on eating when you got home. Walking 20 miles can take 4-6 hrs depending on conditions, Consider rain chaps for heavy and rain or snow and rubber boots as high as possible for more protection from splashes and a pair of gloves, T-shirt/bandana for face protection

Thanks brother. I do have a good little streamlight in there as well.

I assume you live in afghanistan

And I would love to have one of those bags!

Muy bueno, gracias por compartir tu experiencia y darnos una idea

also you should add a little bottle of foot powder for the GHB and also what Jeni said a good 30 dollar monocular is pretty handy.

Awesome video, and I really like your bag and you have some good gear.

Love your video bro. You've done great.

Nice video. And nice job on the pack. Definitely gave me some new ideas and that is saying a lot considering how many of these I have watched. Love your Mora Companion as I have one just like it. I have the Max Vulture2 which is bigger than what I need for get home bag but it is good for hiking/camping. May get the Typhoon as EDC due to is compactness. Love that OD Green color. Need to get to walmart and get one of those tarps. Take care and thanks for sharing.

Neat and to the point, nice kit.

heres a question once everyone has their edc or bug out bag or get home bag do you know how to use the contents of said bag properly? a lot of people watch these vids get all the stuff and think they are "safe" or "ready"5 steps: 1) get the stuff 2) learn how to use it 3) practice 4) hope to god you never have to find out if you are good enough or ready enough because the step 5 is a big one are you mentally ready these vids that people post up are great but for the most part useless to the average person if they are not mentally ready

Wow, some pretty nice gear in there!

Hey Hogtown, that looks like a well thought out bag. The only question I had, and its a minor one, is this. I get why you keep the AA's in the blister pack, but why not trim the cardboard off and take it down to just the blister pack itself? Seems like it would be easier to cram in that way.

Congratulations !!!!!!!!!! Ver good !!!!

Really like the bag. Who's the maker and where did you get it?

Damn brother! You are prepared! LOL

Read the news and you will see the reality. These folks don't physically carry around their bags. They leave them in their vehicles or place of work. I personally do not have a bug out bag, but I do conceal carry at all times. Too many crazy people in this world. If you choose not to be prepared, that's on you.

Thank you brother I'm glad you like it. I have also waterproofed the things in it now. :)

Good video, thanks. You gave me some good ideas on how to better pack some items in my bags.

awesome bro.... cant wait to see it

The table sounds very funny

Could you show your bug out bag? Love the bag by the way!

What sort of commute do you have?

Man, you have a lot of knives

that tarp from walmart is not waterproof I was looking at one then I noticed it said not waterproof and I set it back down

hi. im not from the US. can anybody explain to me what's a "get home bag" is for? Is this some kind of war case preparation? Or what is he getting prepaired for?? thanks

where do you live dude? Beruit ?

GREAT SET UP.... I USE THAT SAME BAG FOR WORK AND IT TAKES A BEATING AND SURE HOLDS UP WELL... MERRY CHRISTMAS...

Thank you my friend and I do love Moras.

nice setup! +++++

i like it that both your lights seem to use the same size battery. maybe whittle down a kitchen or stick match and use a short section under the push button of a lighter, secured with tape. Florida, a snake bite kit but hesitate to use it, unless there is no 911 option/the suction options can be invaluable in some scenarios [but using such a kit on oneself can be unwise]

Nice gear, looks like you have planned well.

Great vid of a well thought out bag, I thought. Can I suggest one thing - a small mirror. Maybe you have one in your FAK, but even for a 'get home bag', in an emergency the medical uses alone (looking for something in your eye, etc.) are worth having and it can be a hard thing to replicate if you don't have it (if you have to abandon your vehicle and hit the bush). Great video, thanks for sharing.

You should switch to a less conspicuous bag, someone will see that and they may be inclined to relieve you of your equipment.

Great video man! Idk if you have done this already but something I did with mine was j took everything out of its origional packaging to save tons of space! Also I may have missed it but maybe if you have an MRE or high calorie bars like cliff bars or life boat rations, you might want to keep some in case you are stranded further away from home. Keep the vidscoming!

nice bag/set up!

Nice pack !!

Cool bag. I need to constantly redo mine. I purchased my Wife a nice Browning bag recently and need to help her get it ready for a trunk bag.

might want to also think about a military issue gas mask.

Thanks brother and the flashlight is the "streamlight PT 1aa"

What kind of backpack is that?

There is no mistake. If I was in the situation like that I would put the stuff that's on the outside on the inside. Also from day to day if I'm around people, it will go inside.

great bag man!!! consider placing your lighters in water proof baggies. i usually use 2 of the zip lock type baggies for each lighter just in case. if you have to walk through water for whatever reason you'll want functional lighters on the other side. also, you may want to upgrade to a military quality poncho. the one who have will get torn up in the brush if you have to get off the roads and/or trails.

I'm not to familiar with the get home bag concept, but i doubt you would need a knife sharpener to get home. especially with 3 knives with you. (you could lose some weight by tossing a blade also) You could drop some wieght by tossing one of the lower quality fire starting pieces. In case you lose the lighter you should def have a back up, but 4 fire staring tools seems like overkill for a get home bag And you seemed to be doubting your shelter gear but i think that there would be a high probability that you would need shelter. especially if your hike started late in the day or if you need to stay off the roads for any reason.

It's a nice get home bag you got. I would suggest adding a headlamp, keeps both your hands available for whatever. Petzl or Black Diamond have great ones. Sunglasses and extra pair of socks / underwear. A small bag of corn starch. Corn starch is great to help sooth the effects of chafing. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your comments brother but I have 3 days of food in the pack and it's more like 12 miles away. :)

I agree about the space blanket being inadequate for shelter. However, most people are incapable of reasonably traveling 20 miles in a day. Depending on what kind of shape the hiker is, if they are wounded, whether there are dangers that need to be bypassed, how level the terrain, convenience of water sources, and lighting conditions, 20 miles might be crossed in 10-20 hours. And then factor in the weather. It could turn into a circuitous, limping week-long horror story. With no shelter...?

What Maxpedition bag is that, my friend? Thanks for the great vid.

Nice video

good job brother. but maybe a small fishing kit would be a good idea. you may in a situation where u cant make it home. i also keep a sling shot in mine. its quiet and powerful enough to kill small game and a good "quiet" self defense.

Nice edc bag Brother! ..Tony.

you can take a few things out of that bag: the pepper spray, the work gloves, all but 1 or 2 of the knives, the big compass [there's 1 built into your whistle], & the chap stick.

Would/could you use this bag for a fishing tackle bag? I just bought a Maxped Proteus and I hate it, got it today and I hate it HAHAHA. I was going to use it as a tackle bag but that is definitely NOT going to happen. This bag looks like it would hold all my tackle, my rain suit, a tarp, some tent stakes and some other basic necessities for when I am on the river or lake without going overboard and taking things I really do not need .

You can never have too much.:)
