i love my fieldmaster and have a pretty similar setup. i also put on the plus scales. i opted for yellow for visibility. i have not put the ferro rod in it because i carry a lighter next to it anyway. i did not magnetize the pin but i did magnetize the phillips driver.

Brilliant, refreshing to find a prepping site that does not require a vast array of weaponry in the background. Well done, keep it up. You will be responsible for helping a lot of people.

Tea light heater. Put a tea light or 3 in an ikea cutlery holder, stainless steel with lots of holes in. Put a teracotta plant pot over it. Gentle radiant heat.

Love it when I hear about prepping from here in the uk. Subbed, cheers mate

Thank you, I just received this pack today, but I'm primarily going to use it for rucking. I'm no Hercules, so I doubt I'll exceed 50lbs, and I'm only starting with 25lbs, so I hope It'll withstand the weight. One thing I am disappointed about is that there is no quick grab water bottle pouch, as I won't be utilizing the bladder system. There was a KZfaq video on what i thought was this same pack, that had water bottle pouches, and I based my purchase on that video. I still like the pack, but not having quick access to hydration is a negative.

The reasoning is sound. buy quality gear for a survival kit bag. Your life is worth the money.

Nice kit. I was going to suggest fishing kit. Also a sling shot band. You can make a sling shot with the knife and saw. Sling shot can be used to hunt for squirrels, rabbits, game birds, etc. I subscribed. I have a channel if you wish go check it out.

At least one of the more realistic videos about a Go bag (as I call it) or a BOB as some people call it. As for documents I have all important ones scanned on a metal USB stick that I EDC on my keychain. Of course it's always good to have some emergency numbers in your wallet. I EDC a mini multitool in my pocket but have a full size multitool and Silcock key in my Go bag. I would also add some zip ties.

top video. thanks for posting

Some good points well made thanks Alan 👍

Interesting video thanks 👍

What about a foil blanket. There may not be heat

Can you store sugar in the same way

Thanks Alan great idea 👍😀

Solid advice Alan many thanks,appreciate the effort you put in 👍😀

How do you manage to dry the bottle thoroughly? ive left my bottles upset down for a couple of days and still have droplets of water inside…

Over time, will the plastic smell the oats inside? How long will the oats last in this bottle, a good idea though

Dakt, water , Beams and Rice first. Them you can get trinkets! As for torches and things well, I think most households have those!

I have spare tin openers but after a few uses they are useless, i dont know whats going on with them?? like your videos❤

Please, folks, have a backup can opener just in case. You dont wanna find out, at the worst time, that tools can and will break.

Great ideas, many thanks.

I'm 79 years old and was a Boy Scout in my youth. The Scouting magazine called "Boys Life" (back issues found online) had an article back in the 1950s which showed how to make a shirt pocket-sized survival kit. It included waterproof matches (which were made by dipping the heads of wooden matches down half the length of the match in fingernail polish), a small compass, fish hooks and line, water purification tablets, and several other items I have forgotten over the years. Of course all boys carried a pocket knife in those days, and they were used to play games such as "split" and "mumblipeg" on the school playgrounds, fun things which are viewed with horror in this present insane world.

If my memory serves me correctly the oat company uses glyphosphates as a pesticide (which is carcinogenic)Might be worth checking that out.

A good cheap option Alan, thanks for showing it.

Great idea using a bottle as a funnel and how to make an adapter.👍

Good idea. I think i will use a jar though. A lot less hassle.

Real honey, not from the supermarket, and some freeze dried berry powder and your are golden for a load of SHTF breakfasts. Sticks to your ribs through lunch!

Damn I came for advice on stationery! ;-)

Brilliant idea for the storage and the funnel. On a different note ; we don't have council supplied caddies for waste food in the kitchen. We just cut the bottom 5 or 6 inches of a milk bottle off and use that with a compostable liner.

My EDC survival kit is called the ‘OLOK psk’ (One Litre, One Kilo), it is desighned as a ‘stuck outside overnight in bad weather here in Montreal, Canada’, it is like an extension of your kit (+ emergency poncho, fixed blade knife, neoprene gloves, …). I like small prepping items so I would add a pre-threaded sewing needle sealed in a straw (includes mini paperclip+mini safety pins) and a stick of lip balm (many survival and first aid uses), mine is a moisturising version with SPF 15 from Nivea so can even be used as emergency sunscreen. It can even help keep you warm, cold+dry winter air will suck moisture from exposed skin, making you colder (like sweating in summer), rub some lip balm on exposed skin to reduce this. Show you love wildlife, hug a porcupine today !

All guid bud. Cannae really fault anything. Ye covered most bases

You got a subscriber. Sound advice.

One item overlooked is location. If in the NW highland of scotland what is deemed prepping is normal to the inhanbitants, when the nearesr basic shop is mles away. Very different to an inhabitant of a high rise in London, who may feel mobility for bugging out dictates actions taken.

Consider getting a radio which has solar, battery and wind-up recharging. I have one which has all of those options plus a flashlight at one end, and an orange flashing light for emergencies at the other. It cost me £25 online and is very sturdy. In your first aid kit include the following dressings: Bactigras and Inadine. These will help to avoid infections. It is best to get both kinds because Inadine contains iodine and not everybody can tolerate iodine on an open wound. For weeping wounds get a calcium alginate dressing such as Kallostat or Cutiderm. These will help stop wounds from weeping excessive moisture which may inhibit wounds healing. Ensure that you have some micropore or silicone tape because not everybody can tolerate ordinary plasters. Also include some Neosporin as a topical antibiotic option. The aim is, wherever possible, to avoid wound infections. As an alternative to gas-powered burners consider gel burners. Luminaire brand has solid fuel canisters which last six hours. A pack of six costs around 20 pounds. There is nothing that can go wrong with the gel burners. There is no mechanism that can fail or gas canisters that can fail. All you need is the gel canister, the little stove to drop it into and a box of matches. We have two Coglan folding camping stoves. They are made of solid steel and can hold a heavy saucepan. The gel fuel comes in a tin with a screw-on lid. Take the lid off, slide it into the front of your Coglan, close the door and away you go. The fuel is solid and inert until you light it. The Coglans we have are about 7 inches square and 6 inches deep. The construction ensures that the flame is protected from wind. They cost about a tenner each. You can get yourself set up with two stoves and 36 hours of cooking time for under £40.

There is no "bugging in" it's shelter in place. Bugging out is Military slang for quick move. Just an fyi. Great vid though.

Great vid. With mobility issues, free up her hands. Get a simple head flashlight, makes it easy for her getting around in the dark.

You definitely want to stay away from police stations if you're a lone female walking home ... nobody knows how many undiscovered wayne couzens ' Are still in the police force waiting for an opportunity ...

I love the simplicity of this, it's really clear, thank you. That's some really good points about allotments, cemeteries and even golf clubs having taps where you can get fresh water - I suppose, if there was a regional emergency, I might put a purifying tablet in there still, but its liable to be a lot better quality than a pond or canal etc. Nice one! The wariness around demonstrations, especially given that there could be an emergency going on, is also very valid.

Well thought out and presented Alan. I'd throw in a sweat towel or the like but then I'm a sweaty so & so but handy for wiping rain off your face too. Also if the bag is in the back of the car maybe a couple of walking poles if you're potentially covering a bit of distance. Any blow back on the Pooh tin ??

I'm from the wrong side of the pond. What's a Tom?

How very dare you,not yet 80 and say she’s knocking on a bit.!!!

Good video, with valuable info 👍

Great video and very valid points. I'm a bit more than middle aged and walk with a stick due to arthritis. I still go camping as I refuse to give up. My day bag is a very ordinary looking 15l pack which is set up as a get home as well. Water, electrolytes, meds, umbrella and raincoat, gloves and hat etc - never without it. The car has basic camp kit, food and stove plus 4l of water at all times. Thanks for all the tips.

Pooh + Tin 😂😂😂 Solid vid.

One thing to bear in mind if you travel by public transport or car is that the road may not have pavements all the way. First time I had to walk home which was to snow I had to do a massive dog leg as couldn't follow the road as it was a motorway. Subsequently found a much more direct route. All the points you make are very valid particularly about underpasses. Keep up the good work

What a nice man you are!

I love visiting the UK. Have friends in Bristol and Egham. Love visiting London. London and Cambridge may be two of my fave places. Want to visit York.

A fire proof/water proof docs pouch would be a nice add and a good way to keep your docs together. I like the idea of a notebook with important phone numbers. A shemagh would be a cool add. A med pouch is a must-have. Also a contractor trash bag is good for wet things. Honestly a poncho should be a must......gotta stay dry.

Subscribed. Hope to see many more videos on your channel.

Good morning [Oz time] this is the most commonsense prep video I have watched. Perfect for the average person in the event of an emergency event like storms or whatever. Our state government has a similar list on their website. And every storm season the government broadcast messages about a having a minimum of three days of food & water. But every season you still see the numpties fighting over the last loaf. I am impressed with the instant porridge; I am looking for that when I am the shops. The only thing I would add for your Mum is the instant heat packs for hand warming, most pharmacies have them here. Cheers, great video and I have subscribed 👍
