I am a 72 year old woman. I turned an old backpack into a bug out bag. I turned an old rolling suitcase into a survival bag. I have a separate go bag with food and water. I keep 2 weeks of emergency food and water, etc. in my pantry. I am prepped! Most of my neighbors don't know what prepping or a go bag are.

Such an awesome video! This is good starter info for a 24-72 hour bug-out bag & all of this stuff is easily accessible. My dad is 82, absolutely can handle himself & is very resourceful, but with how crazy the world seems these days, it would be good for him to have something like this in case things go south. Thank you for making this video & thank you for the information!

You might want to consider adding a hand held c.b. radio or Family Radio service radios, as no license is required for those. Both will require batteries. Communication is key in a serious situation. Thanks .

Also it’s important to have family, Doctors, Drug store phone number written on paper! Because if your phone dies and you don’t have any of those numbers memorized, using someone else’s phone won’t help. Also at the Dollar stores have assorted Reading glasses for $ 1.00 great to throw in to your bag in case you can’t afford or don’t have a 2nd pair.

The first reaction to a SHTF situation should not necessarily be bugging out, especially if you are a senior or have disabilities. It is far easier to protect yourself, loved ones and assets on your home turf. You’ll also be more comfortable. Evacuation or bugging out, for most people, is a secondary consideration. If you do bug out, you might find there are a whole lot of people doing the same thing at the same time. Some of them will likely not be “friendlies”.

Several years ago when I lived in Houston Texas there was a hurricane coming with predicted 20 to 25 feet tidal wave. Needless to say me and my dollar store bug out bag were out of there.

Go bag? At my age? I'll be in my comfy chair with a bong and a bottle of bourbon on the end table. AK on my lap, dollar store reading glasses in my pocket.

Do not tell anyone about your stash, because when they want it they will steal your stuff and then they have all your personal information.

I also need my go to sleep bag.

Good video Weigh your go bag to see if you can carry it for extended periods of time, you might be walking to unass the AO, ie; get away from what you dont want to be in the path of. LOL I purchased 2 of the same kind of backpack for my go bag I filled one with what i will need to go bye-bye then i weighed it I took my other pack and put 27.5 lbs of sand in it 3 times a week i put my sand pack on and go on a walk Second idea - quarterly empty your go bag out on the table and inspect the contents make sure everything works and is in good condition Its would suck to be in the dark trying to take some medication and spilling half the contents of meds because your flash light batteries are dead then finding out you had no water because your bottle water had gotten a hole in it from vibration of being in your car trunk and leaked out Fire department crews inspect their equipment at the start of every shift

The hard warmers I tried were not worth 2 cents; so I suggest you test it before you load up. Also your meds and if you are having trouble with contenience prepare for that too.

Need to have some tylenol or similar and a few imodium in your IFAK along with the necessary items. No need for a mini hospital though.

Drug stores (pharmacy shops here in UK) sell glasses in different strengths for very cheap prices. Maybe in the US too? Good for spares

There is alot of items that I would change because some of the things are do not have a long shelf life, also a few,and a few items that I would change because, they are worthless

This is such a great idea. I have a go bag.😉

Doctors Information . phone numbers written on paper. Charger for your phone.Cold / wet weather cloths ..WHO IS THIS PERSON GIVING THIS INFORMATION ..Rule of three.3 seconds without blood..3 minutes without air.3 hours without shelter ETC

Why do use a Swiss Flag for a medical pouch?

Number 1,you need to get into condition. Don't mean to be mysigonalist, but conditioning is most important, then all the other things. Good luck!

These Ramen type noodles should be replaced with beef jerky. Volume/weight ration to nutritional value. The jerky takes less space and provides much more nutrition.

Much of this has limited shelf life. Even the hand warmers only last a few years.

water pouuches are light

Go bag? Don’t you need somewhere to go?

Where do your Depends go?

Can you get a Zimmer frame in there ? Asking for a friend

wife, dog meds, CPAP, couple days of clothes, wallet. That would do it, but I'd still want some of the other stuff below more clothes, shoes, winter gear, summer gear generators, batteries, electronics, 8 months worth of food. bicycles, hand and power tools, emergency household supplies, emergency medical supplies, dog food, cleaning supplies, solvents, lubricants, adhesives, tarps, chain, rope, tape, detergents, shampoos, soaps, zip ties, tarps, lumber, hardware canning, dehydrating and fermenting equipment 12 firearms, 10k rounds of ammo, safe, associated tools and supplies books and manuals reloading equipment and supplies passport, ID, insurance, banking, credit, cash musical instruments, jewelry, Hell, I need a 53 foot shipping container and a week with three friends to load it. Screw it, I'm staying. What's the worst that can happen. My heirs have copies of the documents.

Hopefully seniors won't be carrying all of this in a bugout bag. 😁

Your over explanation of why you have these items is patronizing. We know why you have matches FFS.

Just turn the car on in the garage. Who you kidding, your burdens , you know it
