Army Vet & registered nurse here. Great video, bag, explanations & awesome thought process brother. You know I am digging your med kits & boo boo kits!

Ben, been patiently waiting for all updates on your bags. You have no idea how helpful this. I have mimicked your different setups for years now. Please keep them coming--looking forward to the Roll Out bag set up, 3 day and BOB configuration. Thank you so much by friend.

After watching these videos for years, I really should get my ass in gear to make one. Great video, as always.

The maxpedition ifak, that particular design is really great. I am glad that Maxpedition kept that design in their legacy series and didn't phase it out. They tried to come up with a newer version of that and it's pretty dysfunctional. I own 4 of their legacy series iFaks for different bags, purposes and they're hard to beat. I do purchase Maxpedition products from independent retailers and NOT Amazon. Amazon has destroyed the livelihoods of countless thousands of retailers! Amazon has its place but NOT for everything. I used to follow your channel and kind of forgot about you. Changed my KZfaq channel and forgot about many of the channels I subbed to . Very nice to know your still around.

Thank you Ben, a very sensible, realistic EDC, kit, Thanks

Great video Ben! I'm a big Maxpedition fan as well, and they make up the vast majority of my carry systems.

yep it's a Gerber LMF, that and the Strongarm are great knives

Great video Ben, love the format and all the info. I love the "booboo kit" breakdown. I'm gonna build a few of those for my girls to have and gonna do a get home bag for each of them for Christmas. Keep them coming. Merry Christmas!!

Michigan paramedic here. Thanks for sharing!

I have that same bag in the same color and I love it. This bag is a perfect size that you can expand by adding some Molly pouches. I combine mine with a Maxpidition Proteus waist pack and I can carry a good amount of stuff and still be light and comfortable.

Great kit but especially since you live in such a cold environment I would put that esbit stove and a stainless water bottle cup with lid or canteen cup with a lid and some bullion cubes or bullion powder, instant coffee, and some hot chocolate powder. Maybe use a GI canteen cup with a lid and the stove that nests around it and a pack of esbit tabs so you could also use wood if needed and use the esbit as a Firestarter. Include a bandana to handle a hot cup. I was in a light infantry division in the Army in Alaska for two years, hot liquids and the fats and sugar from the hot chocolate keep you warm, the caffeine in the coffee keeps you alert and moving. I would make "ranger mocha" with the instant coffee, sugar, and creamer from an MRE and mix it with a hot chocolate powder pack, and also make beef or chicken bullion soup to keep going and keep warm. A quarter to a third of a cheap Top Ramen seasoning packet in a canteen cup also makes a nice hot soup without taking up hardly any space.

Ben, great video. You are knowledgeable enough where these livestreams do not really require editing as you clearly follow through with the subject. I love the design of this bag as the outer pockets are what I call "well defined" as they hold their shape well and lend themselves for quick access to key items like the flashlight. Nothing worse than having to open up a loaded pack to access an inner pocket for an item in a hurry. I have "wrecked" the contents of my current bag a few times, trying to access an item at the bottom. As for the GHB FAK, I am a former EMT and have the tendency to keep a lot of FA supplies. I used to have a separate trauma and boo boo kit that I thought I would just attach both to the GHB if I needed to leave the vehicle. It was way too cumbersome. I opted for keeping a separate large trauma kit with 2 of everything for when I am with the vehicle. I took one of the IFAKs (Condor rip-away type) and made it to be a combo trauma and boo boo kit that would go on the outside of the GHB for ease of access and to make more room in the GHB for other items. If the GHB were really to be put into service, I would not want to be without some sort of trauma supplies.

Love when you do these vids Ben!

My theory on get home bags, stuck, major things shut down, no communication, no credit card scanners, everyone trying to use their cell phone so the system is jammed. Air quality poor, dust, smoke, tear gas, in the air, natural gas leaks, and thousands trying to get somewhere on foot. This is not a hurricaine or a blizzard scenario, those have enough advance warning that if you are prepared yuo won't need to travel through the aftermath. This is freakin disaster unexpected. Riots, grid down, earthquake type stuff. Most important thing, intelligence and fitness. Second, proper PPE. Shoes, clothes, whatever else is needed. A fit person can walk 24 miles in 12 hours with just water breaks. Very little pack required, just a few liters of water. An extremely fit person can trot that distance in 5 hours with just water breaks. Most American's have never even attempted to walk 10 miles, and they'd need food almost hourly. If you stop to help another person you are now a group leader and it will take you a minimum of 3 days to travel 24 miles. If you need to use a tourniquet you are either a group leader or probably too injured to walk home. In the car do you have a tow strap? Sometimes that's all you need to avoid leaving it behind. Do you always wear shoes and socks that are good for a 20 mile hike? if not, are they in the vehicle with the pack? What about suitable clothes? Ready for the weather and other abuse type clothes. Will stones and bottles be thrown? Will a bandana be enough air filtration? Do you have a space set of glasses with you? Want goggles to reduce the tear gas/smoke/dust in your eyes? How about a bump cap to reduce injury from thrown bottles and rocks. Not a hard hat looking thing, but one that looks like a baseball cap. If it is just the car breaking down or an accident, there's typically help available. But if you have to leave the car, then you are in a crowd of refugees. Do you know alternate routes home? If X and Y bridge are out, or riots for 5 miles wide between you and home, do you know a way around? If you need to give up your wallet to get past a criminal roadblock, do you have another? Got family with you? That toddler will need to be carried or pushed in a stroller. When was the last time you carried a pack any significant distance? Strategy and tactics? Route, dealing with inevitable crowds, when to stop walking and hide, how much to share, willing to travel in the dark with just background light? willing to loot? (even taking water from the outside of a building using a faucet is lootin) When do you drop the pack for increased speed? Being chased, close to home, stopping to throw out weight every 3 miles? Will you become a group leader, or will you leave the unprepared for the National Guard to rescue? ME, I'm 65, walk 18 to 24 miles a week, with a 20 pound pack, on the road every day. And I don't think I could do 24 miles in 12 hours. Maybe 16 hours. But I know I'd leave a lot of guys with fancy packs in the dust, because I practice walking with a pack. This year I've been out when the wind chill was -35 and when the heat index was 110. If you haven't done the extremes with a pack, you should try. And as always, good luck. Fortuna Eruditis Favet.

Great video! Lots of cool stuff. I'll be subscribing for sure. One thing I found interesting was the comment about the Streamlight and the issues you were having with the batteries. I'm in southern Georgia and it stays pretty hot around here. I leave my Streamlight in my truck in a pull drawer and I've never had any issues.

I have found tire repair kits come in handy especially around construction sites.

Those Nite Ize cords are adjustable bungees. I think they're great. I have one of the big ones which I may have to use sometime but I like the smaller ones.

Çanta çok kaliteli ve sağlam görünüşüyle bile ben burdayım diyor muhteşem

Loving these vids bro .

I dig the bag, I have some of Maxpedition bags and they last a lifetime! You got a lot of good shxit in your bag 😁

Very nice Iove it.

Great video. Like your bag setup 👍

add a Stainless steel cup for 5.00 that will nest in your water bottles if you have a second person with you or need to scoop water from a questionable source for your your filter bottle

Love my malaga and jumbo bag.

Bag size is perfect. 👍

Have the same bag in my car for a couple of years also! I think it’s a different model, looks similar though

Nice pack always had my eye on one. Just a quick tip if one is ever walking on the side of road being rural, city, or highway, always face traffic gives you much more reaction time to adjust.Also of course give you and the road ample distance.Too many people have got killed because many drivers swerve off the road and kill a pedestrian. Just relocate the reflectort to he left shoulder strap.

Suggestion, those bungy straps attach those tarp clips to them so they dont get lost or fall out when your digging around for some thing.

Do you have links for the bags for the boo boo kit? They seem perfect for what I need. Also the keychain pen?

Nice man , great gear

Love the Olihgt battery charger it charges everything I need without issues!!😁✌💚

Very good bag

Good set up! I'm inspired

I dunno man. Everything except water, food, and shelter? I think the focus is off. I have refocused my bags into the things we'll need most and that's the list. Basic tools and a med kit are a must but those other things need to come first, imho. Clothing is "shelter" so a skivvy roll, at a minimum, goes in each of our car bags. In the [New England] winter, I add better socks, gloves, a cap and hope we have good outer gear on and have dressed for the weather. Agree that the Typhoon makes an excellent car bag. Just big enough to fit the basics which keeps the weight under 20lbs, another important factor.

Nice man, great gear!

Camt find the olight magnetic cable battery charger on Amazon. Only something like it with 1 contact point for their in the flashlight rechargeable batteries.

So thank youu

Nice 👌

I like the bag and wondering what size it is as I know as I found a simular pack and it comes in a few sizes ( 30-50 liter ) also what about food and a way to cook it or keep warm do you have a plan for them along with a sturdier shelter? Please keep up the good work on this channel it is very good.

NAR makes a "throw kit" now if you want more truama kits on a decent budget, notably does not come with the shears though

bag size is perfect

That a mag pouch where the light is but light works I have a multi tool in there

I bought the everlit 2 person 72 hour emergency bag and it’s awesome. It’s 164$ but it’s good stuff and veteran owned

A tip for your Gerber Infantry from a fellow Michigander use Armor all on the hilt of the handle and the inside of the top of the sheath you'll won't believe how munch easier it draws out

Kaliteli ürün

Maxpedition is great. I have 3 bags and several pouches of different types. I’m frustrated with their marketing learning after buying from them on Amazon that I could have had two for one if I bought direct. Lot of money lost because of that! Their pouches are also expensive. Do you have a favored pouch option that’s cost effective?

How would you lock your bag from people who steal? And do you think your bag looks like the army bag? What I am saying is do you think you will be a target because your bag looks tactical? Overall great bag

I wish I could find a good belt sheith for the Gerber LMF.

I like that your rockin the reliable Rat2. I have other knives but for some reason I keep coming back to my R2D2 that I customized with micarta scales. Lol btw have you been selling any of your stuff for ur future endeavors? If I recall you mentioned somethin like that a while back in a video cuz u had me hit you up on IG but never heard back.

Great videa

Just an honest suggestion so don’t take it wrong. I think you have a nice truck bag to fix things encountered on the road. But in my opinion you have missed the main point of the bag. It should contain things that can get you home. You should be able to toss this on your back and walk home. Think grid down, chaos, riots, war, invasion, national disaster. Everything inside is geared to your survival. Your walk could be in the mountains, desert, city. Your journey could be 4 miles on a city street, or 75 miles in forests. In most cases you will need much more water, food, shelter, and gear that will allow you to survive to get home.

Nice video.😊😊

Nice video 👍

Do you have a tire repair kit?

İnteresting bag

Really liked this video Ben. The Maxpedition setup for tools and electronics is perfect. I have a similar tool setup with a Caselogic camera case but I like the wd40 addition. Will definitely borrow that. Knipex rocks!!

Kullanışlı ve kaliteli

Veryy gooddd

Beaufitul video 😊

I have the same flash light

No food ? Just throw some cliff bars or similar food. My thinking is, if there’s an emergency that’s caused me to abandon my vehicle, grab my get home bag and have to trek home, chances are I’m not going to be able to walk home in a straight line, might have to hunker down for a day or take a huge detour to avoid issues. Definitely need food.

I would add a fire kit, or at least a couple Bic lighters and ferrocium rod. Also I would add a extra pair or socks. Nice kit I really like those bags for boo boo kits, did you get them on Amazon? Stay safe thanks for sharing 👍

Does chest nt expire if not use?

Mükemmel 👍

beğendim super

Just use ground black pepper or cayenne for clotting agent

Good

👍👍

Хочется увидеть рюкзак внутри, узнать об ощущении при эксплуатации, узнать есть ли подкладочная ткань в области дна, узнать хорошо пришиты лямки? Нет мы смотрим всякую чушь про то как он будет выживать, смотрим какие крутые аксессуары у него. Бесят такие обзоры.

Süper 👍

What model Maxpedition bag is that? A link or at least a model would be great!

👌

Tacticool or Tactifool?

Great video very like

Çok guzel

That’s a Malaga, I believe. My son has mine, which I regret… :)

🌹🌹🌹

I like that bag but I'm sure it's made in vietnam like all of them, would anyone be able to recommend a usa made equivalent?

Woaaaw

Süper

What size of Knipex pliers are those. I have the 71/4 and wonder if the smaller sized are worth it.

Ben if you have to leave the vehicle is not a question you drive a Kia sportage 😆✊🔥

Kullanışlı 👍👍

😊😊

Correction: more prepared then any EMT

I would have a bottle of water!

I found Kize bars, which ounce for ounce, are better than Clif bars and the like. They have simple ingredients and are not overly sweet....[[|:-)

Very good video. My only suggestion is to keep it under 30 minutes.
