The thing that stood out the most to me, is Pat always thinking of helping others when preparing. Stand up dude!

Wow I did not consider having a security vest to differentiate me and the shooter. Thank you Pat, I will be ordering one too.

I dig how Pat gets this type of content out in sub 5 minutes

Every human could benefit from your know how. Not only super-thorough but you get to the point immediately. Almost a lost art these days, cheers!

Never ever thought of a reflective vest with security on it,,,,,, golden!

This is the shit we needed to learn in high school. Love ya Pat, keep it habitual.

Some people may consider Pat a threat or danger with what he knows and can do. Meanwhile he is a thoughtful and caring protector, whom given the situation I would appreciate having by my side in time of need.

Pat is a great gift to the prepared citizen!! So refreshing to see a high speed dude not trying to make videos only showcasing his cool guy skills and just trying to pass along knowledge for anyone to use in everyday situations. Thank you Pat!

fuck, "i dont wait permission, im going". pat mac would fuck shit up as a first responder to an active shooting. great man, great role model! greetings from germany

Meds. BSI. Rubber gloves. Last week bicycle rider strike. I was first. Lots of blood. Had my kit. Next person that stopped was a nurse. Gave her glovers. Alive and stable when the squad arrived. Just a thought.

Pat is killing it!! I would also like to give a huge shout out to CJ for all the film work!!

Loving all this knowledge you've been dropping, lately. Thanks for being out there.

After 22 years of fire and ems it looks like you cover everything without extra junk. Great presentation.

Keep these videos coming Mac! Love all the refreshers on Basic Dude stuff! and I really appreciate how the info is straight forward and not taught in a "look at me I'm a bad ass that knows everything" kind of way.

You are the best of us, Sergeant Major. Much peace and dreamless sleep.

Great information, Sir! 550 cord is a lifesaver!!

Pat you keep the redundant logical things fresh and fun with your delivery.

Pat you're the man and a great AmeriCAN!!! Thanks for all of the great information and positivity. Keep kicking butt!!!💪💪💪👍👍👍👍

The hands free light is legit. I’m full time fire and I tell all the new guys and girls who get assigned with our station… get a headlamp and keep it in your rig bag. Use it all the time.

Definitely need to update my kit, great tips

Great load-out. Thank you for sharing it with us, Pat. Stay safe and stay warm

If anything bad ever happens to me! I hope Pat Mac is in Ireland at the time!!!!!!!

Great point about the glasses! I am getting to that magical age myself!

The info in this video is priceless especially for people who don’t have the training pat has. Thank you sir for being one of the good guys👍

Please keep these videos coming..great basic information for those of us who unfortunately cant make it to learn from you in person!

See?! MAC HAS THE KNOWLEDGE. REAL stuff. Practical. To the point. No extra nonsense. LOVE IT PAT! Even my 7 year old daughter loves you! She’s been watching you since she was 4! Haha great stuff man

You are doing a “VERY GREAT & FABULOUS FAVOUR” on people who want to living a normal and healthy life with their FAMILY. Keep It UP . “GOD LOVEs YOU AND BLESSED YOU WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE“.

Hunters tack, I hunted deep in woods for years and always used bright orange ribbon tape. Thanks Pat I am definitely adding those to my bag.

These new video series are stellar! Been a huge fan for awhile but this brings your channel to a new level. Solid work.

Pat is the BOMB !!!! I have been watching these videos allot lately and have learned so much!!! I really admire Pat and how he thinks things out. I am a former Sgt. US Marine Corps infantry - 0311 (1983-1989)

That fluorescent vest is a game changer. My biggest question when I was getting my CCW and permit was “How do I identify myself to cops as a civilian and not the shooter, in other words: how do I not get shot by the cops trying to protect myself and others” and I never got a satisfactory answer. The organization I train with says to be at low-ready with a hand up. Nah. The vest is brilliant and I’m ordering one now. Thanks for the information brother.

Always putting out killer stuff. I live up in VA and need to get into some of your courses. They fill up fast. Keep on rolling brother

Simplicity and precision in all things! Thank you.

extremely well done and well thought out Pat !!!!!

Thank you for sharing the knowledge Pat Mac.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Love this guy. No messin around

Wow, way more than I expected. I need to start thinking outside the box.

Pat has got to be my new favourite person on the planet. Outstanding citizen with a body of knowledge more ripped than the mind of Buddha. Videos shorter than the attention span of an average TikTok user, yet packed tight with hardcore information so dense you could give it to Michelangelo of molding.

I have all of this, but additional is tow straps, som chain, links, crowbar, long jumper cables, sockets and tools, tarp paper towel, folding chair and I cut a big hole right through the drivers seat to be able to take a shit while driving

Great prep information Pat, a couple of things I didn't think of. I would think if you use hunter tacks, you also remove them as you leave the area too.

Fun fact, super glue was actually invented as a field expedient suture. It works , always carried a bottle in my bags when I worked construction. That and a roll of electrical tape, drop or two on glue wrap with tape and go back to work.

Never heard of hunters tacks. That is an awesome idea!

Sweet, my first ever KZfaq appearance! What a great weekend this was. Looking forward to the spring meetup 🤘🏻

second bag in truck is the GET ME HOME BAG. Short distance. first aid /water/extra mag for side arm/eagle scout stuff/ fire material in both is a chunk of roofing felt paper. light wet or dry

The orange safety vest for an active shooter situation is brilliant. I've wondered how to deal with such a situation without being seen as a bad guy. Excellent.

I too drive a blacked out truck. I feel like we’re brother now🤪😎👊 Keep on keep’n on man. Good stuff

Super noob marine here. Can’t say how much I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share

Absolutely 💯 Knowledge and Experience there Sir!! 🔥 Thanks for sharing 👍

Were those paper maps...? holy cow...! what a novel idea..., but won’t we always be in cell range..., hahaha... Soooo, much info., in this short video, thank sir.

Damn, I never thought about the vest!! Great way to help not get shot by adrenaline!

Learning from an expert,for the school of life!

That vest added to my bag this week thanks my brother 🙏🏽

Damn this is a great breakdown!

Fabulous information! I’m buying the reflective vest ASAP!

Very well prepared. Thank you for the video

Seen this covered before, love it !!

Thank you Pat and team!

Ok, so you're a Veteran and former Law Enforcement Officer. Thank-you for both services. Although I didn't quite make it, I was two weeks shy of graduating BLET. From a former Coast Guardsman, Semper Paratus!

Great advice

FUSE! Why didn't I think of that...great idea and I happen to keep some around for fireworks. Thanks for the great idea Pat!

I'm glad their is people like pat Mac out there

This is awesome 👏.. years of experience in that bag 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

my bag is about the same. I do keep a stocking hat. either for me or for the cold shock victim in whatever condition

hey man, i just wanted to say i respect the fact that you carry gear with the intent preserving your own life and that of your loved ones, but also that of the innocent. i think thats a big thing a lot of proponents of gun control overlook is preparing everyone to be their own first responder and to be the first responder of their fellow man.

I loop my headlamp onto the drag handle and zip it into the main compartment. I can find it in pitch black and have never had an issue with my zippers walking open.

Love your videos sir thank you for sharing.

Pat is one cool dude 😎

This was some useful info.. I don't know that I would carry that much.. I will be getting most of it though! I'm not qualified for all the medical stuff.. Maybe now that I'm retiring I can get qualified though! Thanks Pat.. You're the man brother!

Important thing is brand/type of vehicle. I have a Toyota Tundra as well because I know I can trust it over most of the other brands.

Love Pat he's the man!

Got it all but will take my hunters vest to get my 8 & 10 year old. Thank you

Excellent share

Food for thought...You could build these bag kits for whatever scenario and sell them easily. I'd buy one lol.

Doing Gods work sir ! Real man and patriot 🇺🇸 💪

This is an excellent video! Thank you for sharing the knowledge

i live in idaho,in a rural area,,,,,near the montana idaho border,,your on your own here if something bad happens for the most part,,,,,,help can be hours away,,if you can even get help,,,these skills and what you pack are life savers,,,,thank you,,,,,,

Great Vid, some good info all of us can use maybe not everything but the point is to take away 1-2 items and one day they may help you out in a bad spot. Cheers

Adding security vest. Thanks

Good stuff Pat. Thanks

Vest is a great idea. After Eric Talley last year in Boulder.. I thought about the same thing to give a responder any extra way to see I am not a threat

Great video boss! 🇺🇸🪖

My friend in a PD lost an officer to an ambush, citizen kills the shooter, then the citizen is killed by responding officer who saw him with a weapon. Vest is a perfect idea! Thanks Pat for a great piece of advise. When we were plain cloths we had the same problem with uniformed officers not recognizing us.

I carry a road flare. it's good for signal and starting fires.

Wow alot of knowledge jammed into a short video!

Great info , thanks for the video.

Great idea with the hunting tacks. Never knew those existed. 🤙🏼

Awesome info, his GO stuff is more in depth.

Chalk is a huge item to carry as well. Marks alot of different things that you can't use a sharpie etc with. The grease pens are great too. P mentioned those. Great info brother. Keep pushing. AI. FOR KNOWLEDGE is key I say.

This man is prepared!

Great setup

I loved it when he says, in a active shooter, if my kid is in there, I’m not waiting for the cops. Most times the cops will stand by and call the swat team. Honestly, I would do the same. Why wouldn’t you risk your life for your kids is the question. That was awesome.

What a wonderful world

Thank U for This,Sir

Basic dude stuff 👍🇬🇧

Good shit. So many of my friends don't even have jumper cables and give me shit for having a med kit, fire extinguisher, bug out pack, and a vehicle repair kit.

I've always liked maps growing up as a kid. Even as an adult before smart phones it amazed me that some couldn't "read" a map. Nowadays im also surprised how much people rely on GPS and smartphones to tell them where to go.

Intense dude

This is amazing

I need basically zero of these things. Living in an urban centre in the UK. But MAN is it fascinating to see and hear about, I love all this prep stuff. Probably makes me a prepper haha damn. I stretch to carrying a fire extinguisher, high-vis vest, torch, first aid and foil blanket in the boot of my tiny urban Renault Zoe lol which is probably unnessesary. I'm like 2 minutes away from assistance whereever I go so I guess it's more for fun than practicality... Would love a larger vehicle and a boot full of gear though, just so interesting to think about.

On point brother, I teach/ tell people to pack the exact same things. Road maps/ atlas and a non-electric compass can be essential! Keep up the fire brother.
