    +3vil3lvis Thanks for the reply! I am planning on getting the GoalZero rechargeable flashlight that will charge with the Nomad7. I do have some of those items in my medical kit. I agree on the water filtration and just haven't decided on one yet, i.e. pump, or gravity etc. I do have maps but didn't show them as they weren't in the bag yet. Hat is a great idea for the bug net and will add that by summer. I don't use my tarp in the winter because I use a Snugpak Scorpion tent. Good idea on the chocolate ;) Thanks for watching!

    Well, first of all, I would like to congratulate you for this very efficient kit. You are the first person I’ve seen on RUclips to have a realistic bag. Everything you have has a purpose, you don’t have junk you thought was cool or whatever. So kudos to you.
    Tip/ if I were you, I’d have the compass tied to the outside of my back, so as I’m hiking, I have easy access to the compass, instead of Putting the pack down and opening it up each time to get the compass.

    I'v seen so many videos of people making bug out bags and you can clearly tell they didn't think anything through. But yours is great. One of the best iv seen and i can tell you have put a lot of thought into this bag. Great video man

    • @livingsurvival
      @livingsurvival  11 лет назад

    Really like the BOB, some great useful items and its well organized.
    How do you find the Maxpedition Vulture pack, is it a lot bigger than the Condor II?
    Many thanks,
    Mike

    • @livingsurvival
      @livingsurvival  11 лет назад +1

      I love the Vulture II as a BOB or I guess as a overnight bag. Don't know as if I would carry it for just an outing in the woods. I picked up a Versipack by Maxpedition and will use that for day hikes. I also have a larger pack for several days in the woods. But for its purpose I love it. Not a lot bigger but bigger yes. Thanks for watching Mike - Ben

    @3vil3lvis 11 лет назад +1

    One of the best bug out bags on youtube.
    Couple of thoughts .....Seems like you have picked some of the best gear in their individual class, however not all of your gear compliment each other (ie. the Fenix flashlight can't be recharged by your goal zero, water filter can't filter water into another container, compass without a map, gun without a blow out kit, bug net without a hat, peanut butter without chocolate =).
    Not sure why you wouldn't use your snug pack sil tarp during winter time.
    Suggestions:
    1.) Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus Recharger + rechargeable batteries + AA or AAA flashlight with a cree XP-G2 emitter.
    2.) Sawyer Squeeze One + modified Turbo Tube + 2 1Liter Platypus collapsible bottles. Sawyer Squeeze Tornado Tube Mod suggested by Jon Fong (Flat Cat Gear)
    3.) National Geographic waterproof map of your state.
    4.) IFAK consisting of a tourniquet, quickclot Combat gauze, Isreali Battle Dressing, pair of chest seals, Naso Pharangeal airway w/ lube, 14 gauge x 3.25 inch needle for decompression of Tension Pneumothorax. If you do not know how to use these medical supplies, take a class, ask a military friend or a nurse to show you or buy the book "68W advanced field craft combat medic skills".
    5.) If the net is sitting against your skin bugs will bite you through the netting. The sea to summit bug net is best when paired with a hat that has a wide brim all the way around it, like a boonie hat, cowboy hat or a pith helmet.
    6.) M&M's for your peanut butter and more ready to eat foods...like protein bars, nuts , jerky, granola, crackers.
    7.) Separate bag with clothing appropriate to bugging out. Odds are you will not be wearing your ideal bug out clothing when you need to bug out. I recommend a pair of boots that are broken in, wool socks, wool base layer (because wool doesn't smell bad after the first day of wearing it and you may need to wear it for 3 or more days), grid fleece mid layer, insect repellant shirt and pants (Columbia and/or ExOfficio) , down vest or jacket, turtle fur, gloves, sturdy belt and a waterproof shell.
    8.) The best prep is a full gas tank.
    Make a plan, practice your route, test your gear.

    Good video. The only true way to determin what your're going to need in your bug out bag is get the essentials then actually go out and live off of it for a weekend. Evaluate what was a waste of money and what you left out. But the most important of all is do you have a well thought out plan. Where are you going, how are you going to get there, are you healthy enough to actually survive outside the home or shelter. You should live in survival mode for a couple of weekends a year to keep in practice and have a realistic idea of what your going to place.... Plan, prepare, practice. IF not, don't waste your time and money on a bug out bag.

    Excellent video! We have almost the exact same items, though not same brands. I carry a snare and small fishing kit and "frog spear". I do put my clothes, including extra socks in zip lock bags which then go in my backpack with the water proof liner installed. I know about Michigan...was stationed in St. Ignace for five years! Again, great vid and great choice of items!

    Cool video. I got a vulture 2 last year off e bay last year. It was barely used and got a great deal on it too. The seller said he only used it for one weekend trip and it looked like it was brand new. Really like it.
    looks like a great bug out bag. I bet all the people that stuck on the highways down south in the snow and ice storms we had this last winter who didn't have a BOB like that with them wish they did.

    Very similar, my favorite 3day pack is the Condor 2, I like the molle system on mine, when I go into the woods, my defence is my converted 1911 .45acp., to a .460 Rowland, I think both of us have similar tools too. Thanx for sharing, and reminding me of mine, Thanx.

  • @thess2463
    @thess2463 10 лет назад

    Great video, thanks for not spending 2 hours explaining simple everyday gear that needs know explanation. I like seeing these bags and what people think of when planning survival and I think what you have here is much longer than a 72 hour bag. There is probably over $500 worth of name brand items in this bag and it makes me scratch my head to see that these companies are successful in ripping people off with these over price pieces of gear, if 72 hours is all your wanting to prepare for you could have saved $400 and been just as comfortable, a company like Maxpedition will sew there giant "look at me" patch to the same nylon bag or pouch that every other company puts out and charge triple for it. My advice to anyone using these videos to create a bag would be to visit your local surplus and spend half the money for twice the quanity and equal quality for U.S. Military gear.

  • @DavidEskay
    @DavidEskay 11 лет назад +1

    Aside from the multiple knives this was super awesome! several things that I didn't think of or didn't even know existed. I.e. bag peanut butter, and a mini stove, tac pen and paper. I will certainly be adding these things! although I don't think southern California weather will get harsh enough to need extreme weather outfittings lol

    • @livingsurvival

    Wanted to add a bit more. A couple of days ago I was in a Sportsman's warehouse store. While there I came across a 'Dual tool'.
    Its made by a company called Camilius. It is a Titanium Hatchet, VERY sharp out of the box (Will hone the edge this weekend), and integrated into the handle is a Titanium Limb Saw. I got it for just under $40.00. You & your viewers might want to check it out. I've played with it a little already, and so far I REALLY like it!

    @davidcraig366 11 лет назад +2

    Very nice. Much more thorough than mine What is your estimate of the cost of the contents of your bag? I breifly got lost in unfamiliar territory, 16 degrees outside. I would have been okay with what I had, but just okay. Thanks.

    • @livingsurvival
      @livingsurvival  11 лет назад

      I added it up and not including the EDC items such as handgun, phone etc., it is about $1250. Most was the sleep system and gadgets. I sold many old items I wasn't using anymore on Ebay, so my out of pocket was around $250. If I were making a bag to just sit there I wouldn't have spent the money and just gone cheap, but I use the bag and many of its contents daily so was worth it to me. Thanks for watching!

  • @bobbarker2031
    @bobbarker2031 10 лет назад

    Really good setup brother.A lot like how I have my bags packed.Going to throw some suggestions at you.
    1. Get a smaller duffle bag and put your bugout clothes,boots etc... in it, then put your compass,flashlight,knife and everything else you are putting on yourself onto the belt and pockets.This way you can free up more room in your main bag for more food and socks.
    2. More socks,wool or merino wool even better. 30 years in the army here up in Canada, more socks lol
    3. You need a small light weight pot set. 72 hrs can turn into weeks.
    4. Small survival sas handbook in there. What I did also was to buy a used blackberry playbook 64 gb for all the literature you download on survival,hunting,trapping etc. Piratebay has great torrents on survival info,some are peoples whole collections. Does not take long to charge the blackberry by way of solar panel.
    5. Get a usb flashlight, charge by way of solar.make sure you get one that can use a colored lense like red for when you are in some bush so you do not get detected very easily.
    6. A map and laminate it and fold it up like a book,likely a video on youtube for that. Get a map that is as detailed as the military would use. Forestry has what you need. Is your compass declination set up for your part of the world.
    7. Buy or make some ranger beads for counting your distances. The odds that you will be going in a straight line are slim to none on the move.All treks using a map when bugging out will always have different legs to the destination. This is what the canadian army does.
    A. You have to know the distance of your step on differnent terrains depending on the time of year. Example summer: open ground hard packed,thick brush,swamp,day/night (steps are shorter in night in the brush than by day,thought of branches in the eye will shorten your step). Example winter: How deep is the snow,using snowshoes.
    B. So if you practice by day and night by hiking a few legs on different terrain then you will know how long your step is. This is where your ranger beads come into play. I f you have 5 different legs on your trek with diffent terrains you have to count yor steps and use the ranger beads to keep track. Then you will know at the end of each trek when to change the bearing on the compass to head to your next leg. If you are bugging out and you really want to get to where you are going safely stay away from pathes and always rely on the compass.
    C. Pay attention when you practice to how much you veer to the left and right when you get to the end of the leg. measure distance on the map to the count on your ranger beads then you will know how much more you walked. You will also know how much you are off exactly left or right when you have to look for your training marker.
    D. Always get a compass with a lid and mirror on it. This way you can fold the cover down look into the mirror,line up your bearing so you can site it to a prominent object in the distance by day, makes traveling faster when you do not have to look at your compass so much.
    E. Know what your back bearing is, always mark your bearings and legs down,and not just on your arm or hand,sweat erases them.
    F. When you are on a leg of your trek and you are not alone always point out something you pass as the point to return to incase you all have to scramble from a threat.
    G. Always ,always plan 2 diffrerent routes incase you have to change.
    SORRY FOR HARPING ON NAVIGATION BUT: A compass and map are easy to learn, It is the rest that is more difficult to learn. make it fun and when you practice with other people put a beer or a treat at your marker for the winner.
    8. Good comunication setup you have.I would add to light cheap radios in there, incase you get separated from another person. besides you may have to bring someone with you when the shtf : Ie someone from work, or even a hot babe that needs to get home. Who knows you could be at work and yes you can get your 72 out of the truck but you can"t use the truck, nice to have a second pair of eyes with you to get home to the family.
    9. Throw some snaring wire in your pack and a small fishing kit.
    10. Get some stitching needles and a maual how to stitch wounds. One deep cut and you are not making the 72.
    11. If anyone can afford this water fiter,this is the best of the best,would never use another , good for 13,000 gallons , Katadyn Pocket www.katadyn.com/usen/katadyn-products/products/katadynshopconnect/katadyn-water-filters-endurance-series-products/katadyn-pocket-1/

    Excellent presentation. I've watched this several times.Especially enjoyed learning about specific types of gear that I didn't have. I re-evaluated the contents of my bag and then decided to add a few of the exact items you mentioned because they were of superior quality to what I had already (CRKT folder for example-wicked sharp!- and the Fenix PD35-high quality, flashlight: compact, powerful, BLINDING light) : I like to continually improve on what I have. A very useful and interesting video. Nice job. ( BTW, the cameo appearance by your dog was a nice touch :) I am looking forward to whatever is your next video.

(2) I also carry deodorant because it is more of a comfort item. I don't need deodorant but if it makes me more comfortable then why not? Great video and great bag!

    I didn't like the clip on my Sidekick. It was moving side to side, even after I tried to tighten it. I took it off and it's in a Nite-Ize pouch on my belt. The Bushlore is a great knife! My buddy has one and I've used it a few times. I also have two of those Nalgene bottle holders on my pack for "balance" and I love the side pockets on them for extra storage. Thanks for the video.

    Wow. You and I really think alike! :-o
    I have the same bag, with mostly the same items. My sleeping bag is very similar, but it takes up a bit more space in my bag, so I have to pack it upright. I'll be attaching it to the bottom of my bag later on. (It's a Denali Defnder cammo hooded XL) and filling the inside with some clothes and food that I've packed as day by day ration packs.
    After looking at loads of camel back type water carriers, I went with a Source 3lt low profile, military edition (Lies very flat & has braided outer hosing). I also added a bunch more pouches to the outside of my pack. I have the same water bottle pouch holding my ESBIT alcohol stove burner & titanium cook set (Evernew ECA278 Ti UL Stacking Set). On the opposite side, I have a Maxpedition 7x5x4 Vertical GP Pouch. On the front is my 5x7x4 horizontal GP pouch next to my 1 litre military water bottle & holder (where I also store a small plastic mirror.
    On the waist strap, I've added a Maxpedition Anemone where I keep my military lensatic compass, 4" Clip-On Phone Holster with my Baofeng UV5R+, SKU 1411 Single Sheath for my leatherman.
    Inside the pack, I also have a Sam Splint (Really a luxury item because I could improvise), Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter (Filters down to absolute 0.1 microns and is guaranteed for up to one million U.S. gallons!)
    The rest is nearly exactly the same stuff as you have; only subtle differences such as brands or slight visual differences.

      Nice. Sorry, I don't make any videos of my own. I only have a few random videos uploaded.
      One night, while lying in bed, I started adding up the approximate cost of my emergency bag and everything in it. It added up to arount a thousand bucks!(Australian). Still, that's the price of preparedness, if we don't want things that'll break.
      In my car, I keep a Maxpedition FR1 EDC kit. I'll have to list that some other time, because it's late here.

    I like the maxpedition cocoon for your fire starting kit just added one to my Amazon cart. Regarding having all your fire starting stuff in one modular pouch, you worried about loosing everything Or do you have an extra fero rod stashed somewhere else?

    • @livingsurvival
      @livingsurvival  10 лет назад

      The Condor II by Maxpedition is slightly smaller and very popular or bags by Condor Outdoors or 5.11 also make good bags.

  • @nicolelynnslosser9363
    @nicolelynnslosser9363 9 лет назад

    Really quick question.. what's a small roly poly (you mentioned it toward the beginning for collecting tinder). and what's a lapsack (has your batteries in it). Thanks! I've got just about everything you've mentioned, but I also have an emergency fishing kit and an emergency snare.. you never know when 72 hours might turn into a week. Mre's will only last so long. I also put electolyte tablets in mine so I don't get dehydrated. I've got some other nicknacks in mine as well, but I don't want to get boring lol.

    • @livingsurvival
      @livingsurvival  9 лет назад

      Nicole Lynn Slosser Awesome, sounds like you have a great kit. The rolypoly is maxpedition's name for a dump pouch. Usually used by people who shoot guns to collect ammo but I use it as a pouch that can roll up out of the way and be used to collect tinder etc. Batteries were in a LOKSACK. a water proof ziplock basically but more rugged.

    • @nicolelynnslosser9363
      @nicolelynnslosser9363 9 лет назад

      Ah! Gotcha.. I misheard it.. I need to buy some of those but didn't know what they were called, so THANKS! :) Also.. I know quite a few people who have a dump pouch.. they'll use it for tinder, foraging, ammo shells, etc.. things they don't want to put in their main bag cause it'll get dirty. Thanks for the clarification!

  • @Naughtz
    @Naughtz 10 лет назад +2

    Love this kit! The maxpedition water bottle holder is that the 12x4 or 12x5?! I wanna buy the toaks 750 pot with bail but not sure if it will fit the 12x4. The 12x5 is just to big. The measurement with bail wings is 4 and 3/4" so I'm concerned. Thanks!

    • @livingsurvival
      @livingsurvival  10 лет назад

      Scott Matthews It is the 10x4 I think and the toaks fits in perfectly but the wings do stick before you get used to it. Works well with that setup.

    • @Naughtz
      @Naughtz 10 лет назад

    That was awesome. The only thing I would recommend is bring pads/tampons. They most likely won't be for you but Tampons can stop bleeding from bulletholes if necessary.

    Very nice, I may have missed it, but, was tthat all of your fire starters in one small pouch? I like to spread my critical items around in different pouches and pockets. That way , if I loose my small pouch, I'll still have a backup Just my personal preference.

    Nice BOB. I have been collecting gear to make one, and it seems like you read my mind on almost everything... Stuff most people don't include like the radios, solar charger etc, but I would use the bigger Nomad 7 and guide 10 charger, so I could charge AA, AAA... I would also add a Sawyer Mini water filter, it lasts much longer than the survival straw, (but doesn't remove chemicals), idk if your does. Good production quality on the video, as well, I'll check out your others.

      Hi, thanks for watching. The main thing you want is the 5 c's. Cordage (paracord, bank line, bungee cords) Container (stainless or aluminum to boil water in or hold water (plastic bag, nalgene bottle) Cutting Tool (knife, multi-tool, axe) Combustion (lighter, matches, tinder) and Cover (tarp, poncho, tent, sleeping bag etc. That's the basics. Hope it helps.

    Quick Question: Why do you choose to have the sleeping bag inside your bag and not attached underneath the bag? Wouldn't you save more space? Thanks'a'bunch great video.

    • @livingsurvival
      @livingsurvival  10 лет назад +1

      Dana Scully Yes, you can attach anywhere you want. I put it inside because it fits and leaves room for my wool blanket/sleeping pad and/or tent to be attached to the outside.

  • @Reaper-vp5bs

    @pietaushamburch6128 9 лет назад

    I really like your kit! I'm totally with you.
    2 small thoughts about minor things. 1st: maybe you don't want to carry a tintan spork inside your plastic bottle. It will scratch the inside of the bottle, *cause it's made of much harder material. Not a big deal, but less easy to clean your bottle when scratched? I'm thinking about better hygiene. 2nd: I would exchange the compass to a more stable model. Like a folding one. Just to protect it from breaking.
