Semi related safety tip: with all the rioting and unrest going on, if youre approaching a road block or rioting happening in the street, make sure you keep the bottom of the back tires visible on the car in front of you just in case you need to turn around and avoid the situation. Its an age old driving safety tip for everyday driving but with today's polarized world its definitely worth more now to apply it than ever. We rolled up onto a blocked roadway and thankfully stopped with plenty of visibility and space between us and the car in front of us, we were able to turn around and detour our route with no fuss and well before the crowd reached our vehicle.
I'd add some sort of Commo. Say you have to leave your Vehicle and Hole Up somewhere, like during the Vegas Massacre a few years back. You'd want to stay on top of the situation as much as possible. So even a cheap Radio could help, especially if the Cell Phones get jammed up in the area. Hope this helps.
I set one of these up for myself a year ago in a backpack. Kinda neat to see you did one as well. Pretty much the same things I have except I have a soft armor plate and 2 spare AR magazines in mine as well.
Just a friendly suggestion, you may want to keep your tourniquet stowed in an easily deployable state. That way you can just "shake it loose" and apply the tourniquet one handed. For that, I suggest you go to the NA Rescue website and watch their video. It shows you how to fold it and why you DON'T tuck the windless into the clip for storage.
I would suggest a fixed blade dagger. Eye and ear protection,, 12 volt car adapter to usb for charging. Trauma shears. Make sure the light has a strobe mode, it will really disorient opponents at night. A noise maker with enough dB to disorient. I really like the bear spray. Need to get that for my daughters.
Call a bag like that “ my murse bag “ man purse. 😂😂😂😂😂. It really is very handy to have. I have one because I hang out in my house in gym shorts and a t shirt. If I have to go to Publix or somewhere quick, I’m not going to change into cargo shorts and strap on my EDC gear. With the “ murse “ I just throw it over my shoulder and have everything I need. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. BTW. I don’t give 3 💩 what people think of me. I carry the 5.11 push pack.
A good tip for you guys , never forget to add you're blood type on somewhere. It can be written with a marker on your bag , or on a tag , tattooed on your torso ... Whatever.. but somewhere clearly visible ..in case something bad happen to you, you're loosing a lot of blood and are in a life threatening situation . Then the emergency can work more efficiently and faster on you if they see your blood type. Something i learnt in the army ..
When i would drive from Colorado Springs to El Paso i would have my Glock 17 4 loaded mags and either my shotgun or my Ar15 because there was alot of open land in between. Then i started taking my Ruger 10/22 as a long gunbecause if i had to walk or hike i wanted something lighter.
One of the best videos you have done. Often, like you said, the hammer is a tool but not the only one. You motivated me to re-look my bag and adjust it. Thanks.
As always, thanks for the suggestion! You’re right, I saw this video several months ago and put it into practice, I’ve got this basic set up in the smaller 9L version of this bag, works great with an M&P Compact 2.0 and mags. I added some Axil ear buds and substituted a 7 oz Police Magnum Pepper Spray, have one strong flashlight. I’m in sales, drive 5 States for work (contents and carry legal in all 5 States with my LTC) so I also have a smaller Get Home/Survival backpack with a Shockwave attached covertly and do EDC a POM on my body along with a Streamlight Microstream, a TDI fixed blade and a P365X with extra mag. I just think of this as my self defense bag, goes in the hotel with me every night and back in the car every day. This bag is small, lightweight, easy to handle, pack & store. For those who say it’s too much, I might agree if I was home every night and worked a normal 9-5 job in my home town or city. But times are getting even more unsettled, I believe they’ll get tougher and you just don’t know what you’ll run into away from home. Traveling every week I’m much more comfortable being (maybe) a bit over-prepared than caught unawares. Always appreciate your content!
Bear spray is great, just be careful using it from a vehicle under stress. You could end up impairing yourself allowing easier access to you lethal option.
Nice setup other than the pistol being in it. You should keep your self defense weapon on you at all time, never in a bag. Your bag should be for medical supplies, ammo etc.
@@mizzoupatriot8814 Good point. If I'm gonna leave my firearm in the car, it's gonna in a safe that's attached to the vehicle. Otherwise, it's in its holster on my belt.
I got a Wolf WarriorMax backpack type bag off Amazon for $30. It'll hold everything I need & it's not huge, it's held up for for over a year so far. Rides with me everywhere I go, even to the grocery store. In Texas we can carry a pistol in our car as long as it's concealed (for those without CCL)
I would trade out two of the flashlights (leaving two) for an asp and drop two of the mags for weight. If the situation can't be resolved with pepper spray, an asp, a knife, a gun with 3 mags... Having two more mags is likely not going to matter. Better to be light and fast, move and evade than trade shots in my opinion.
I had to go to Las Vegas on business in the middle of the pandemic and peaceful protests. I quick built a similar bag with many similar features, down to the extra mask. I have a piece of body armor inside my bag and a mini trauma kit. I like big flashlights, but they are heavy and I wouldn't necessarily spend my weight limit on that when smaller lights are even brighter. My bag was in conjunction with a Bail Out Bag and a Get Home Bag, and I tried not to duplicate them or to be overly redundant. I carried an extra T-shirt and socks in my bag, and I coordinated the Tshirt and my trousers to be close to the color of my bag, to really blend into the background.
FYI Bear Spray is NOT to be used on humans. You can go to jail for using it on humans. I would invest in a MK9 Sabre Red OC spray with 1.33% Major Capsinoids instead of bear spray. Just so you are using the right tool for the job. I would also add a portable jumper cable power pack, about $200.00 in 10 to 20 dollar increments, a pair of tennis shoes and some kind of hydration.
The class I had to take to get my concealed carry license emphasized a lot of nonlethal options before resorting to firearms. I use the Vertx pistol Tactigami holsters, I feel it covers the trigger better for my Glock.
@@nmr6988 Thanks! While it’s nice to know I’ve got a firearm to protect me and my family & friends, it’s just not necessary to go blasting everything in sight when some pepper spray would do just fine.
One thing you might add to the bag is a 33 round magazine and pair of safety glasses in case they are hitting her windows or if they are shooting pepper at her, also a bag with a bulletproof panel would be cool ad well.
I actually have an M&P that spends a lot of time in the safe. This would be a very good use of it. Now I just need to figure out how to have my new Mossberg Cruiser nearby. 🤔😜
I have my PPQ in a nightstand safe, but I’m thinking about swapping it out for my wife’s CZ 75 and using my Walther in my bug out/ get home/ travel bag.
Same here, but a HK VP9. I’ve got some 30rd sticks for it too so, probably no need to have 4-5 mags, just one in the gun and two sticks in the bag. Much better use in my vehicle get home bag than in the safe.
Keep the bear spray and blade in my truck door. Maxpedition GreyMan sling bag with KTS2K, Glock and six freedom week mags always handy. Blade on person and numerous other strategic locations.
Check your local laws about bear spray - it's Federally regulated by the EPA and NOT approved for use on humans. If you're carrying it and NOT in bear country and use it on people, you could open yourself up to some very expensive litigation. Thankfully I live in bear country and hike a lot, so bear spray is with me always.
Very cool. I have a non descript sling bag with similar items, extra ammo, trauma gear, head light, multi tool, I have the bear spray in my truck I can add
I think having some extra eye pro, even cheap shooting glasses, would be good. Just driving though a civil disturbance (mostly peaceful riot) could expose you to objects thrown at your car.
Two observations that occurred to me. First, the mask might help if you deploy a big can of pepper spray (if you have time). And second but not totally directly related:be sure what kind of windows you have in your vehicle. More and more cars and trucks use laminated glass like in their windshields, and that requires a really substantial tool to get through because it will not shatter like single layer glass that collapses when you hit it with a windshield breaker. Just food for thought.
Reinforced glass is something that I should check into. 3M makes a film for houses that is unbreakable so it make sense that there would be similar auto glass. My one concern would be getting out in case of a fire or under water. You have me thinking. Thanks Jamie
Hey, Sootch, it would be really great if you could list everything in the description with links to the products... Love your stuff!! Be of good courage.
That’s a secondary gun setup? Wow man...you must live in Camden, NJ or Somalia. Imagine needing 5 (15 round magazines), bear spray, 5 different lighting solutions as if your hiking the Amazon and units the backup kit from her EDC kit/purse. I love my guns, but this makes me chuckle a bit.
Good Idea 💡. I will be working on my own. I currently carry a backpack with some utility stuff in my car for some emergencies. Now i will upgrade. Excellent!
I would probably switch the hook and loop holster to the other side of the bag. The side that is against the body not the side that moves with the zipping of the bag.
For those of you about too toot the "Spraying a person bearmace is lethal force" card. Yea it is, but when you have to go too court for a self defense situation and have to explain to a jury why you 'assaulted' kids, you sprayed them either the less-than-lethal option you had. The jury will not be able to argue that you chose to spray your attacker, rather than shoot them. Two lethal options. One that is less-than-lethal in the right circumstances. Just food for thought.
Great setup. I have an EDC bag as well. Definitely loved the bear pepper spray can and I need a trauma kit but I also need to take a class. Thanks for the video and great tips.
Nothing better than waking up on a Saturday morning to your new content with a nice warm cup of coffee on the patio. 👍 keep them coming and we'll keep watching.
As someone who has been on the receiving end of bear spray one drunken night with friends in Alaska, that stuff WORKS. Only thing is that it can incapacitate you and your attacker, so it will be harder for you to get away from a shisty situation.
@@lynnkramer1211 that few seconds can buy you enough time to run. If it’s that many people that it’s a crowd even getting your gun out might not be enough. But I promise you, the ones that get a face full of it will make the others think twice. Buddy of mine got drunk one night and set it off in the barracks while we were all in the room, it felt like the gas chamber at basic. It’s certainly not the end all be all, and if you deploy it I agree it’s time to get your more lethal option out or run, but I wouldn’t wanna get hit with it again.
I carry a 6" .300BO AR along with tools & other gear in a 5.11 AMP72, also have a Glock 40 & tools / gear in a Rush MOAB 6 for when im riding in a friends vehicle & not my own, since the 5.11 AMP72 is pretty large & heavy.
Great video. I would suggest when deciding what deterrent (gun, pepper spray, knife) to use first, choose wisely. You may not have time to make another choice. One thing I noticed while watching the "friendly protesters" in action is that they always responded (backed off) at the sound of gun fire.
Awesome video but I have to ask, what does she do if she goes into a store or business does it get moved to the trunk and secured I’d be nervous to leave a bag like that in the car.
Pepper spray is, without question, NOT going to calm things down. The upshot is that if you were the focus of the excitement, you won't be in just a second.
Eye protection or a full mask respirator. If to void concern of those areas with unrest their will be flying debris, tear gas, etc deployed to quell the crowd. Cloth will absorb the irritants and be a handicap to you.
I would consider a gas mask and a CBRN filter, just because if you’re actually in the middle of something you could be dealing with tear gas or other chemical agents. Potentially even biological agents. Besides if the breeze is just right when you deploy that pepper spray you could get yourself...
Say losing one of the flashlights (when you have an laser/light for your handgun you can go without the smaller one) use that freed up space and weight for say a life straw or similar water filter and small collapsible water bladder/bottle would be a good addition, a small lighter to start a fire, and emergency fishing line and hook. Maybe a space blanket as well, if you say needed to use that bag to get you through a few days instead of a few hours those additions could mean life or death. I prefer a smaller Glock model instead of 19, but still one with the classic 9mm double stacked mag that would fit in my Ruger PC Charger takedown, and put both in one bag. A primary takedown pdw, and a backup handgun is my way to go. Even if you kept say a 10 and 32 round mag both would fit in each firearm if you needed it’s a nice touch. Also I’d prefer a hatchet or a compact rain jacket instead of bear/pepper spray, the hot sauce isn’t the tool I’d want in my hand in an emergency, putting all that aerosoled pepper in the air to affect myself too I’ll pass. I love the Velcro customized interior of the bag, thats real cool, I’d like my bag to be a bit bigger, preferably a backpack with a strap on the front so I can firmly affix it to my back without worrying of it sliding off if I needed to carry it. A separate small bag with a .22lr Ruger takedown and a few hundred rounds for small game hunting and backup pdw, water purifying tablets, a weeks worth of dried food, with a small tent, extra lighter, solar charger, extra pair of wool socks, beanie, you could survive for quite awhile in a shtf situation. That’s my $0.02, glad for another informative upload, as always your expertise is appreciated to add it to my own knowledge where I can now make more educated decisions in assembling my own bag. 👍
I wouldn't do pepper spray...because ...incase your self gets in your eyes .then your sight in gone while others attack you....great bag thou....I carry in truck...my glock...19 Gen 4...Nd my remington tac 14...have 2 ...25 round s belts with 1..oobuck and 25 rds slugs...great looking bag
I have the 10L entity sling bag, and it fits my Mpa 30t (Mac 11 clone) with a 30 round mag nicely in the main compartment. And I still have room for exta mags for the Mpa, medical, and another pistol in the ccw compartment!
😂 loved the bird chirps at the end 🐦🐤 I'm glad to see that the bag I have put together for the same reason is very similar to what you have for your wife. Mine is just a small backpack, but very similar on items. I do have a Gerber Prodigy in mine in addition to the folding knife and I have a water bottle with a filter, gloves, umbrella and some other small things in addition to the items you show. I do have some first aid items, but not a trauma kit. I'll look to add that. I don't have any pepper spray, but will certainly look to add that as well. Thanks for posting the video and the ideas.
I want to point out that contrary to what you might think, bear spray is less effective on humans than purpose made pepper spray/oc. If you want something that size, look for a MK 9.
question: why not add a couple protein bars and a small water to pack? I know its not a "get home" bag, but if you grab that bag to leave a dangerous situation, may be nice to have some food/water to keep energy up?? if space is an issue, maybe swap out a flashlight and magazine 🤷🏻♂️ I really like this idea of self defense bag (oh ya, always wondered... Do these stay in vehicle when unoccupied? How do you secure firearm from being stolen if left in vehicle??)
To the braniacs who think bear spray is a pesticide, it's not! From Wikipedia: Bear spray is a specific aerosol spray bear deterrent, whose active ingredients are highly irritant capsaicin and related capsaicinoids.
Thank you for doing videos like this because it does spring inspiration of what to carry with you for emergency situations. So I really appreciate videos like this
Road rage whether one person or multiple people is a good example of why you should have pepper spray. A unarmed person yelling at you through your car window is not a justifiable reason to kill them.
@@sootch00 That is not an attack. I'll drive away in that case. Breaking my windows to get to me is an attack. As long as they are outside my car Im good. Castle Doctrine applies to car the same as home in Oklahoma.
In the heat of battle someone could grab that bag and run. I think it needs some sort of security strap or flex cable around the car seat base or even attaching metal bracket to the floor. It must be easy for the owner to remove quick without looking but enough to confuse someone who doesn't know whats in the bag and just going for a quick pick and pull. I can't imagine your wife leaving the vehicle and draging that with her. Just like in a gun fight. Your going to have only a couple seconds to choose your tool and do something. You can't take your eyes off your opponent.
So everyone has a get home bag, and a medical bag, and an every day carry bag. Some of us have defensive bag. So how do all these bags actually work together?
Everybody has their own idea of what they need...I am a minimalist. I carry a Maxpedition Neatfreak sling bag. Carry my pistol, two extra magazines, defensive pen...I have a backpack with gear I have tucked under the rear seat of my truck....Trama pack, dehydrated food items, etc.....
I put a Rubbermaid tub in the back of the truck. Put 3 bags in there. Typed and printed what’s in every bag and put in my visor. AND have an edc pouch in console.
Excellent video! I would make a couple of suggestions. Having a large and small flashlight is a great idea. I would exchange the second flashlight and the folding knife for a fixed-blade knife (where legal) and a multi-tool like a Leatherman Wave. I would also keep the writing pen and pad in the same compartment (as well as the Sharpie and tourniquet).
Thanks Jason, I was back and forth about a fixed blade instead of the folder but since it's a great emergency tool, I went with it but your input is valid.
Consider some Trauma Shears for your med kit to go with the tourniquet. I grabbed a larger first aid kit off of My Medic. It was stocked okay. I added a few things and keep it in my car. I had chest seals and some clot stuff that I added to it. I also built two other kits from First Aid IFAK Pouch and put glove pouches on the outside along with Trauma Shears in a holder with the tourniquet. It’s on the outside because if you need to get to that stuff you have to get to it fast. I’m not sure about that PHLSTER... in a crisis situation fine motor skills can be a problem. I’d hate to wrestle getting the stuff out of it.
HAAAAAAAAAAAA! i was just putting a bag like this together so i literally just bought the baldr rl, and was gonna put it on my g19. might stash some extra ammo and mags between the bag and car and a mag loader. lights, cables, powerbanks i agree. multi tool. chargers. batteries. im gonna pack some armor...and probably a little more firepower but it all has to be backpack and duffle capable. trying to leave nothing in my vehicle as i may be in a bad area. center punch or resqme, gorilla tape, zip ties, condoms, and tampons.

Maybe not legal advice, but it's still good advice!

What's in your kits ?

Hey, Sootch, it would be really great if you could list everything in the description with links to the products... Love your stuff!! Be of good courage.
That’s a secondary gun setup? Wow man...you must live in Camden, NJ or Somalia. Imagine needing 5 (15 round magazines), bear spray, 5 different lighting solutions as if your hiking the Amazon and units the backup kit from her EDC kit/purse. I love my guns, but this makes me chuckle a bit.
Great idea! I need to make a bag like this.
Thanks William!
Thanks for the great advice! Definitely gave me a lot to think about during these crazy times.
Good Idea 💡. I will be working on my own. I currently carry a backpack with some utility stuff in my car for some emergencies. Now i will upgrade. Excellent!
I would probably switch the hook and loop holster to the other side of the bag. The side that is against the body not the side that moves with the zipping of the bag.
For those of you about too toot the "Spraying a person bearmace is lethal force" card.
Yea it is, but when you have to go too court for a self defense situation and have to explain to a jury why you 'assaulted' kids, you sprayed them either the less-than-lethal option you had. The jury will not be able to argue that you chose to spray your attacker, rather than shoot them.
Two lethal options. One that is less-than-lethal in the right circumstances.
Just food for thought.
Great setup. I have an EDC bag as well. Definitely loved the bear pepper spray can and I need a trauma kit but I also need to take a class. Thanks for the video and great tips.
Nothing better than waking up on a Saturday morning to your new content with a nice warm cup of coffee on the patio. 👍 keep them coming and we'll keep watching.
Thanks for stopping by Roland!
As someone who has been on the receiving end of bear spray one drunken night with friends in Alaska, that stuff WORKS. Only thing is that it can incapacitate you and your attacker, so it will be harder for you to get away from a shisty situation.
@@lynnkramer1211 that few seconds can buy you enough time to run. If it’s that many people that it’s a crowd even getting your gun out might not be enough. But I promise you, the ones that get a face full of it will make the others think twice. Buddy of mine got drunk one night and set it off in the barracks while we were all in the room, it felt like the gas chamber at basic. It’s certainly not the end all be all, and if you deploy it I agree it’s time to get your more lethal option out or run, but I wouldn’t wanna get hit with it again.
I carry a 6" .300BO AR along with tools & other gear in a 5.11 AMP72, also have a Glock 40 & tools / gear in a Rush MOAB 6 for when im riding in a friends vehicle & not my own, since the 5.11 AMP72 is pretty large & heavy.
Great video. I would suggest when deciding what deterrent (gun, pepper spray, knife) to use first, choose wisely. You may not have time to make another choice. One thing I noticed while watching the "friendly protesters" in action is that they always responded (backed off) at the sound of gun fire.
Awesome video but I have to ask, what does she do if she goes into a store or business does it get moved to the trunk and secured I’d be nervous to leave a bag like that in the car.
Pepper spray is, without question, NOT going to calm things down. The upshot is that if you were the focus of the excitement, you won't be in just a second.
Just in case add some food in case you're in a travel situation something happens and you may half to shelter somewhere overnight.
Good vid… I like to throw a small holster in the bag as well so I can transition from bag carry to hip carry if need be.
Eye protection or a full mask respirator. If to void concern of those areas with unrest their will be flying debris, tear gas, etc deployed to quell the crowd. Cloth will absorb the irritants and be a handicap to you.
I would consider a gas mask and a CBRN filter, just because if you’re actually in the middle of something you could be dealing with tear gas or other chemical agents. Potentially even biological agents. Besides if the breeze is just right when you deploy that pepper spray you could get yourself...
Say losing one of the flashlights (when you have an laser/light for your handgun you can go without the smaller one) use that freed up space and weight for say a life straw or similar water filter and small collapsible water bladder/bottle would be a good addition, a small lighter to start a fire, and emergency fishing line and hook. Maybe a space blanket as well, if you say needed to use that bag to get you through a few days instead of a few hours those additions could mean life or death. I prefer a smaller Glock model instead of 19, but still one with the classic 9mm double stacked mag that would fit in my Ruger PC Charger takedown, and put both in one bag. A primary takedown pdw, and a backup handgun is my way to go. Even if you kept say a 10 and 32 round mag both would fit in each firearm if you needed it’s a nice touch. Also I’d prefer a hatchet or a compact rain jacket instead of bear/pepper spray, the hot sauce isn’t the tool I’d want in my hand in an emergency, putting all that aerosoled pepper in the air to affect myself too I’ll pass. I love the Velcro customized interior of the bag, thats real cool, I’d like my bag to be a bit bigger, preferably a backpack with a strap on the front so I can firmly affix it to my back without worrying of it sliding off if I needed to carry it. A separate small bag with a .22lr Ruger takedown and a few hundred rounds for small game hunting and backup pdw, water purifying tablets, a weeks worth of dried food, with a small tent, extra lighter, solar charger, extra pair of wool socks, beanie, you could survive for quite awhile in a shtf situation. That’s my $0.02, glad for another informative upload, as always your expertise is appreciated to add it to my own knowledge where I can now make more educated decisions in assembling my own bag. 👍
I wouldn't do pepper spray...because ...incase your self gets in your eyes
.then your sight in gone while others attack you....great bag thou....I carry in truck...my glock...19 Gen 4...Nd my remington tac 14...have 2 ...25 round s belts with 1..oobuck and 25 rds slugs...great looking bag
I have the 10L entity sling bag, and it fits my Mpa 30t (Mac 11 clone) with a 30 round mag nicely in the main compartment. And I still have room for exta mags for the Mpa, medical, and another pistol in the ccw compartment!
😂 loved the bird chirps at the end 🐦🐤 I'm glad to see that the bag I have put together for the same reason is very similar to what you have for your wife. Mine is just a small backpack, but very similar on items. I do have a Gerber Prodigy in mine in addition to the folding knife and I have a water bottle with a filter, gloves, umbrella and some other small things in addition to the items you show. I do have some first aid items, but not a trauma kit. I'll look to add that. I don't have any pepper spray, but will certainly look to add that as well. Thanks for posting the video and the ideas.
Field craft survival has the best to go bag.
Those flashlights look hella cool mister.
Did I just watch a handbag review? :D
man purse
Yeah, Indiana Jones carried a Satchel! lol!
@@sootch00 Lets not forget Jack Bauer's messenger bag. 👍😎
@@sootch00 Sootch, you're a legend man lol.
It’s not a purse! It’s European!
Love How You Explained Everything😊😊😊💯💯!
Great video. Have it all covered but the pepper spray. That is a great call-out. Have to add that now!
I want to point out that contrary to what you might think, bear spray is less effective on humans than purpose made pepper spray/oc. If you want something that size, look for a MK 9.
@John Beige I'm a corrections Officer, yes it is what prisons use. Larger can of the MK 3 and MK 4 that are usually carried.
And here I am trying to figure out how to install an AR-10 and AR-15 with 1000 rounds of ammo each into my Toyota lol
I keep my CZ Scorpion Micro nicely tucked away in my Vertx bag.
Air soft smoke grenades to cover your movements away from the vehicle if need be. There might be a time to ditch your vehicle.
question: why not add a couple protein bars and a small water to pack? I know its not a "get home" bag, but if you grab that bag to leave a dangerous situation, may be nice to have some food/water to keep energy up?? if space is an issue, maybe swap out a flashlight and magazine 🤷🏻♂️
I really like this idea of self defense bag
(oh ya, always wondered... Do these stay in vehicle when unoccupied? How do you secure firearm from being stolen if left in vehicle??)
...a traditional messenger bag fits this bill very nicely.
To the braniacs who think bear spray is a pesticide, it's not! From Wikipedia: Bear spray is a specific aerosol spray bear deterrent, whose active ingredients are highly irritant capsaicin and related capsaicinoids.
Thanks Nancy! It will really mess up your day! lol!
Nancy Wikipedia is not a source anyone can make up shit. Please don't quote Wikipedia 🤣
Love your videos: they help so much in planning and thinking things through! Thanks!
Thank you for doing videos like this because it does spring inspiration of what to carry with you for emergency situations. So I really appreciate videos like this
Thanks Emily! Being prepared is half the battle.
I have zip ties, big heavy ones.
I agree with you most of the time and like all your vids. But if Im attacked Im going full on lethal response.
Road rage whether one person or multiple people is a good example of why you should have pepper spray. A unarmed person yelling at you through your car window is not a justifiable reason to kill them.
@@sootch00 That is not an attack. I'll drive away in that case. Breaking my windows to get to me is an attack. As long as they are outside my car Im good. Castle Doctrine applies to car the same as home in Oklahoma.
@@sqwk2559 I dont agree. As I said I agree with him most of the time and I enjoy his video's. In this case we just have a difference of opinion.
Just one thing, I'd have a sharpie with the note book in that compartment.
Thank you for the ideas! I will add pepper spray as well as better med kit. Very well done sir, as always
In the heat of battle someone could grab that bag and run. I think it needs some sort of security strap or flex cable around the car seat base or even attaching metal bracket to the floor. It must be easy for the owner to remove quick without looking but enough to confuse someone who doesn't know whats in the bag and just going for a quick pick and pull. I can't imagine your wife leaving the vehicle and draging that with her. Just like in a gun fight. Your going to have only a couple seconds to choose your tool and do something. You can't take your eyes off your opponent.
I carried my rescue tool every day for years and now I have the Kershaw drivetrain which has the rescue options so one item instead of two
So everyone has a get home bag, and a medical bag, and an every day carry bag. Some of us have defensive bag. So how do all these bags actually work together?
Everybody has their own idea of what they need...I am a minimalist. I carry a Maxpedition Neatfreak sling bag. Carry my pistol, two extra magazines, defensive pen...I have a backpack with gear I have tucked under the rear seat of my truck....Trama pack, dehydrated food items, etc.....
I put a Rubbermaid tub in the back of the truck. Put 3 bags in there. Typed and printed what’s in every bag and put in my visor. AND have an edc pouch in console.
Good advice, got me thinking about my own travel needs. Thanks for the video.
I would add a leatherman or similar tool to the bag and a holster to move the gun to body.
Excellent video!
I would make a couple of suggestions. Having a large and small flashlight is a great idea. I would exchange the second flashlight and the folding knife for a fixed-blade knife (where legal) and a multi-tool like a Leatherman Wave. I would also keep the writing pen and pad in the same compartment (as well as the Sharpie and tourniquet).
Thanks Jason, I was back and forth about a fixed blade instead of the folder but since it's a great emergency tool, I went with it but your input is valid.
We keep L.E.D. tipped ink pens in white, red, and blue LED light in our gear.
Consider some Trauma Shears for your med kit to go with the tourniquet.
I grabbed a larger first aid kit off of My Medic. It was stocked okay. I added a few things and keep it in my car. I had chest seals and some clot stuff that I added to it.
I also built two other kits from First Aid IFAK Pouch and put glove pouches on the outside along with Trauma Shears in a holder with the tourniquet. It’s on the outside because if you need to get to that stuff you have to get to it fast. I’m not sure about that PHLSTER... in a crisis situation fine motor skills can be a problem. I’d hate to wrestle getting the stuff out of it.
Note: Still a good video. 👍
The gun in the big is deffinently important.
Prepared Not Scared
Not a bad kit
Although I will say if I have a crowd is trying to pull me out of my truck, the trucks going to make a better weapon than the bear spray
That belt clip on that knife looks like it would prevent the seatbelt cutter from working properly. Have you tested it?
HAAAAAAAAAAAA!
i was just putting a bag like this together so i literally just bought the baldr rl, and was gonna put it on my g19. might stash some extra ammo and mags between the bag and car and a mag loader.
lights, cables, powerbanks i agree. multi tool. chargers. batteries.
im gonna pack some armor...and probably a little more firepower but it all has to be backpack and duffle capable.
trying to leave nothing in my vehicle as i may be in a bad area.
center punch or resqme, gorilla tape, zip ties, condoms, and tampons.
Great minds think alike! lol! Thanks Jacob
yes useful thanks very worthwhle information
Thanks Brother!
I would be wary of using bear spray on humans. It's generally considered a pesticide and could maybe cause additional issues in court.
