5.11 AMP 24 packs have option to mount hip straps. Just saying.
Realize that when you say "Folks" you sound like a lying politician.
Appreciate the feedback, harsh as it is. I definitely don't fit that profile, so I'll keep that in mind moving forward lol.
A coffee filter is a nice super lightweight option for a water pre-filter. 😎
And where is the stuff that gets actually used...and not completely new?
In my own pack of course - as mentioned right at the beginning, this was a full giveaway pack we did last year ;)
@@preparednesshive Sry i missed that somehow.
When will there be a follow up video?
We have a few in the works, but I’ve just had a lot of preparedness efforts and workshops in the works this past year that have consumed my time. I’m aiming to get a few more out over the coming weeks/months. Thanks for your patience!
Do you sell a ready to go bug out bag like the in this video?
We have put together kits similar to this, but typically on a custom basis as everyone has slightly different needs/skills to take into account. Feel free to hit us up at thrive@preparednesshive.com and we can chat through a few details! Thank you!
Forget about any of this stuff if you aren't at least twice a year going out and using this to really learn how to use it in a real survival situation. Go someplace and live with ONLY what's in your kit for at least 24 hours. People uy this stuff and never practice and learn to survive.
Amen brother! Practice is absolutely essential to all aspects of a preparedness plan. Thanks for sharing!
Greatest GHB on RUclips. You’re great behind a camera. Very mellow and relatable. More VIDEOS!!
Thanks so much for the feedback Jay, very much appreciated. We're working on more videos now, so stay tuned!
I'm from VA but the insects in NH are so bad there is 4 types of bugs that are so aggravating that it's almost impossible to walk threw the woods black flies is what they call them but There big ass Nats is what I call them
Yeah, you'll probably have to compensate with added clothing/coverings and bug repellants as well. I feel for you as I've hiked that region before and felt the same way!
I have a question for everyone and it's in regards to water filters freezing. I have watched quite a bit of through hikers and one of the main issues they have is their filters freeze and are useless. This kit definitely addresses this issues by having a Sawyer Squeeze or back up that can definitely be kept warm close to the body, in a pocket, whatever. But I see so many going for the Grail filter and as of yet I just don't get it. What is the advantage? For 90 dollars no less. I have the Katadyn Be Free because like the Sawyer I can store it in a baggie stashed in my pocket. It's an open filter so no need to backflush. I bought a ton of these .01 micro filter socks another company made for this filter and they work brilliant for keeping all debris out of the filter and so easy to pull off and wash. I also chose the Be Free for the wide mouth and the Hydropak 'Seeker' model bottle bladders I can pair with the filter. These come in 2l and 4L so I can carry allot of water if I needed to. They can be frozen or hold boiling water so they can double as a wash up station because they have the ability to hang, and even create a solar shower with one small attachment. Hang and create a gravity feed to fill bottles. I think of medical use to hold ice or create a hot water bottle. Platypus has a similar system. The back flush syringe on the Sawyer I suppose could be used to clean out wounds, flush out an eye, so it's atleast a multi purpose item. The little bag it comes with is pretty useless and the number one item found in the trash for through hikers as they break easily. Hydropak also makes the bladders to fit Sawyer. If water is super nasty it's a good idea to carry men's cotton handkerchiefs because they are dye free to prefilter water. Bandannas and Smaugs are made with toxic chemicals dyes from Asia. Or even washed with you toxic laundry detergent from home. Think Tide Pods. If you boil them the dye just leaches out. It's better to cut up white cotton better linnen bed sheets, bleach and keep wrapped sterile especially for medical use and water filtering. Keep the Smaug as clothing, a sling or Sun, wind, cold protection. All common sense.
Appreciate your insights all around here! Freezing water filters is definitely a concern, and like you said, keeping them on or near your body is ideal in those extremes. That said, The Grayl can handle a couple freezes before being rendered useless, unlike the Sawyer Squeeze. If I were in an environment where freezing temps were more of a concern in a larger portion of the year, I would likely go the same route as you have (love the Katadyn Be Free as well and have several I keep on hand for emergency use - especially in my vehicle).
Thank you
Of course!
Killer kit. Dig it.
Appreciate it!
So glad I came across your channel ❤❤
We're super grateful as well - more videos to come soon!
Best survival kit bugout bags I've ever seen all top of the line name brand gear I would love to take this bag out and survive a few weeks or months even a none skilled person could survive with this bag
Appreciate the feedback!
how about uhhh important documents, a charger, ahhh toiletries, and ummmmh a hotel or family members house. going to the woods is stupid
Couldn't agree with you more :) Having a plan in place with a predetermined location is extremely important, which is why I stressed the importance of this in the video. And those items are also in this pack, except for the important documents... appreciate the feedback.
Great kit and a great video. So many kits are full of useless crap. well done.
Thanks John, appreciate the feedback!
man livin in tennessee. the ticks and mosquitos are incredibly vicious. the bane of my existence.
Both are incredibly annoying and remarkably consistent… while there are steps you can take to mitigate them to some degree, I almost just consider them another major aspect put I have to plan for, like water or food, but opposite lol. In any case, I feel your pain!
Loved this kit!!! I LOVE the grayl!!! We take it hiking and here in Central Oregon the river water, filtered, tastes AMAZING!!! It’s great on hikes! Curious though if you are the son of or related to The Green Beret? You talk like him! I love his videos too! Much love to you - I watch a lot of these videos as I slowly keep adding to mine. Yours is one of the best!! Thank you!
I'm not related to the GBGB, but he's definitely an inspiration to us all! Very much appreciate the words of affirmation, and so happy to hear this video was supportive to your preparedness efforts!
Need an update list and lessons learned what didn't have to change
Looking to create a video like this later this year, so appreciate the validation!
Fantastic and insightful ... Thank you!
Great to hear!
bug out to where ??
Good question… it’s different for everyone, so hopefully you know where that is for yourself!
Not my first time watching this video and not the last as it’s such a good video to look at for an idea on what gear could be a good addition for a bug out bag or just to see what others like you would put in it. Would love to see more videos about you testing gear or using this pack it the wilderness as it’s a really good pack and think it would be a great bug out bag to improve an emergency situation hope to see another video on this channel thank you
Very much appreciate the vote of confidence, and that you're getting so much value out of the video! We do have more in the works, we've just had a lot of focus on infrastructure this year that's limited our time for producing content. We shooting to ramp up our efforts in December again though, and looking to launch more vids throughout 2024. Stay tuned!
@@preparednesshive oh wow well thank you and can’t wait to see new videos in December thank you.
maybe use some note card? this video would be 20 minutes less with out all the "uh um and its uh"
Appreciate the feedback Nick - this was my first video so appreciate your grace. Hopefully you found the info useful still?
More true words have never been spoken..."If you can get a fire going with some of this then maybe you aren't meant to survive"...lol
Haha yeah, we tried to give them ample opportunity for sure! Appreciate the laugh ☺️
You ever use any of this stuff ??? It all looks like you just received it in the mail = brand new.
It was lol - I mentioned at the beginning of the video that this pack was part of a giveaway we did last year!
Great package, but I have a suggestion. I suggest you add mosquito repellent, sunscreen, wet wipes... small size... and a cover to protect the bag from the rain on the other side, which is orange in color to use as an escape sign.❤
Most of those items are in the pack actually, I just may not have mentioned them specifically. Appreciate you offering up your experience regardless, and best of luck in your preparedness efforts!
Could you make an inch bag?! I’ve been making my own and I don’t mine taking or adding new items based on your opinion.
Great to hear you got some value out of the content, although I can’t promise anything regarding INCH bags anytime soon. In fact, I’m more of a proponent of utilizing bugout bags and survival caches (which we’ll be releasing a video about soon) with a planned location(s) in mind. If a SHTF scenario comes about, I really don’t want to have to rely on one pack to get me though. Whether I have to book it and flee at a moments notice, or maybe even get robbed by a larger group, I think it’s smarter to diversify if you can. That said, if you’re looking for more creative options to include in your pack, hit us up on the website and we continue the convo there - always open to supporting anyone who’s interested in being more prepared :)
You better give credit to the grey bearded Green Beret because this is almost verbatim his video. It's a nice video, but when you take that much influence and language from.someone give them their dues.
Appreciate the heads up! We very much appreciate the GBGB and all his knowledge and experience for sure!
Great video, well thought out.
Great to hear! Appreciate the feedback :)
Nice set up. Almost identical to mines.
Thanks Donny - sounds like we're on the same page then :)
Oh this is so shit =))) shiny cookware, unnecessary items (a fishing kit that “you will not use”, bungees, some metallic hooks or whatever, etc), unused storage containers, 2 baofengs and a fucking deck of cards in a metallic box!! Not to mention a horrible shelter/sleeping system. Omg, does this guy even get out of his mancave? How much does this pack weigh? The knife is quite ok, actually
Why does this channel not have more videos? This is very informative and detailed.
Working on it! We had some setbacks early this year and have revamped recently to start producing more content. Should have some new ones out shortly so be sure to subscribe! Feel free to share ideas of videos you’d like to see as well - we’re always open to new ideas.
@@preparednesshive Sounds great! Everyday preparedness would be my primary request. Food storage (long and shorter term), water storage and procurement methods, skills that could benefit during a grid down scenario whether minor impact such as a few days power outage all the way to an EMP scenario, home security (securing windows/doors, video cameras, deterrents such as dogs, brush, objects). These are a few I’d be interested in
À helpful suggestion: use one those large trash bags as a liner in pack. (Waterproof/water tight) I'd also suggest a Camelback (water container) I'd say that's a must have. Great tutorial keep on keepin on.
Appreciate the suggestions!
Great video, camerawork, and presentation. I’ll like to see more. Looking forward to future videos.
Appreciate the feedback! We have two in the works right now and will be launching them in the very near future :)
You covered all of the items well and I would say that you are honest about the products
One thing I will suggest, with the shelter kit use zip up compression bags, it will reduce the space it takes up drastically.
Great suggestion, appreciate the feedback!
@@preparednesshive not a problem, if I'm going with a mate or 2 I will take a 14x16 tarp with me and I use them for that, my sleeping bag is also really bulky, but these things really help with the space. It's really surprising how small you can get stuff like that.
Howdy y'all that is a kit I would use if I had one
this dude knows what he`s talking about
Appreciate the vote of confidence!
Great video. Thank you
Glad you liked it - thanks for the feedback!
i may have missed this ... i carry a head light w spare batt
Yep, it's in there, but glad to hear you carry one too! Much more practical to keep your hands free :)
A solid kit. Recommend adding a spray bottle of AgNp to the medical kit to prevent infections… the number one killer.
Thank you! I keep some of that at home, but went ahead and added it to my kit as it's a great idea. Appreciate you sharing!
Really great bag. For my greater area I need a much more bulky bag during almost all seasons. Even in late spring, early autumn it can drop to 5°C (32°F) with lots of rain and wind. That makes me almost always packing my Carinthia Observer, a real 3 Season sleeping bag and a sleeping pad. If its winter, I need to amp that up with a really really bulky winter sleeping bag. All in all my Get Home Bag weighs between 14-18kg (30-40lb) depending on season.
That's still a great weight even in a harsher environment - appreciate you sharing!
Very good choice of items. The only thing I am missing, is a medium sized swiss army knife. Sure, the multitool will provide similar capabilities, but the pocket knife will provide it faster and more convenient. And a Bundeswehr Field Stove would also be a great addition. No pertect, but it holds it own fuel for the size (and weight) of a card deck...
Great additions - thanks for the feedback!
Product name for your bottle holder on the side of the pack?
Sorry about that - here's the link: amzn.to/44lkhoj
Keep in mind on food, like those "SOS Food Ration Bars"(or any), they are "hard" to bite and chew. (A problem with false teeth), and expiration dates. The ones I had were good for 5 years. (I just threw them out) Also, a BOB like this, you're going to Easily have "Several" hundred dollars invested in this.
Appreciate the feedback on the ration bars, that’s a valid point! Food rotation in your pack is no different than in your home too, so expiration is always going to be a factor. That said, if you have any recommendations for longer terms foods outside of the freeze dried pouches we included as well, please feel free to share! And yes, “several” hundred dollars was put into this pack as it was part of a giveaway… there are lots of affordable options out there though, especially the more skilled you become over time. Thanks again!
Seems like no one is going to give constructive criticism, so I will. The "Grayl" water filtration system is great but pricey, Sawyer and Katadyne have good systems that will work just as good. A lot of fire starting materials can be made at home without buying pre made items. The biggest issue I have is with the medkit. First thing I noticed was no PPE (personal protective equipment). Every kit should have gloves and masks. The trauma kit is a little overkill, and unless you have been trained to use certain items like an airway kit, the patient/victim may be better off without somebody jamming a tube or hose in the nose or mouth. Chest seals are another issue as well. They are a lifesaver if a person knows how to place them. They are also to make from a piece of plastic and some tape. Save a few bucks and don't buy the pre packaged ones. Also, learn how and when to use one. Adding a bottle of baby aspirin to the kit can be crucial if you come across a person with a possible cardiac situation. A 10 cc syringe of saline is not exactly effective in wound cleansing. Those syringes of saline are designed to be hooked to an IV line to help push medications, not wound cleansing. Suggesting to spend $30-40 dollars on a specific tourniquet sounds like a plug. For over a hundred years, people have made a tourniquet with nothing more than a crevat and a stick. Everything doesn't have to be brand name to work. I keep maxi pads in my kit for large dressings. A trick I learned from an underbudget volunteer ambulance service. Guess what? They work fantastic. I'm sure I will have naysayers replying to my comments and that's fine, but I have 8 years in trauma and EMS services and have treated hundreds of people. I don't know everything, but I have had experiences in a lot of situations similar to what this medkit has been equipped for. These are my takes and how I might tweak it a little. Closing thought... If you aren't trained to do something, don't make an attempt. I watched a "prepper" stick an IV needle in his arm in the wrong direction once. That was a bad day for him.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and being an EMS/trauma responder, I’m not surprised by the concerns you raised. I couldn’t agree more in that you should be adequately trained in order to use any/all of the gear within, which I should’ve been more adamant about mentioning. Some of the items you mentioned are included in the kit, I just didn’t go through everything provided to keep the video more palatable. In any case, I hope it provided a little support for your bug out bag needs at least. I’ll take these insights to heart, and again, thanks for sharing!
Great video. Thanks!
You bet! Thanks for the feedback!
There is GOLD in this video
Wow, appreciate the feedback and happy to hear it was helpful!
I've heard that leather men multi-tools break in cold weather and I've. Seen demos of Leathermen vs Gerber multitools with cutting chain link face. The leatherman broke far more than the Gerber's
We've always had great success with Leatherman multitools over the years, but good to know that Gerber is a good option as well, especially at the price point. I'm guessing neither of these are meant to cut chainlink fencing, but knowing you can in a pinch (at least with the Gerber) is also helpful ;) Appreciate you sharing!
No firearms !
I mention firearms at the end as part of your EDC ;)
