    I was listening to you talking about flash lights and thought i would mention the crank flash light. Its not super bright but we have had four of these at the cottage for 5 years now and they work as good as the day we bought them. We leave them all winter and never take them home. They just work every time we need them. No changing batteries, I love them.

    31:15 I would not "throw it out". If you have too much to carry on the road - CACHE it. So if the situation allows or becomes necessary, you can retrieve the gear at a later point in time.

      Just make sure it is very hidden, you don’t want others to find it

      A great item for caches are coolers, they keep everything clean and sealed for water!

    Sooch, I love your videos. I do. I'm a USMC veteran and long time prepping/survivalist and I've just got to say, you have a lot of wonderful bug out gear in your truck but who or what platoon of guys are you going to get to carry all that crap into the woods? Your plan is just abandon your bob? As a practical matter people should make up one bob that has the bare necessities so that you don't have to abandon life saving supplies. Don't carry a lot of water. Two canteens at most but have an on the go filter or sterilization tablets. A way to heat food/water. Some freeze dried food. Maybe a few MRE's. Extra wool socks & clothing. It will keep you warm even when wet. Ammunition boxes? No. Put your extra ammo in something like a Crown Royal sack or something form fitting. Some parachord and a small tarp for a quick shelter. Waterproof fire starting. A camp axe and a woodsman's collapsible tree saw. A good strong knife. Brother, that flashlight is huge and probably quite heavy. There are smaller lights that are just as powerful. Two way radio. A decent first aid bag with clotting agents, 3 tourniquets, anibiotics, gauze, sutures, pain meds, needles, thread, scalpel, iodine, etc. A light sleeping pad and the lightest warmest sleeping bag you can find. You need a smaller waterproof map and a good compass. A pair of camouflage fatigues. And y'all had hang guns and yeah carry a hand gun, but one of those people had four different caliber handguns. Smh. That couple should carry the same caliber and if possible so should the whole group. I didn't see one rifle. Someone with a handgun doesn't stand a chance against a decent rifleman. I recommend 9mm high capacity 16rd handguns and AR15's in .556. That way if someone has .223 ammunition it can be fired with any rifle but .223 rifles can't fire .556 ammo. Just as a side note. You have some nice bug out stuff. Get a bug out location and bring it there and stash it well. Don't ditch your preps unless you have to. Be safe, be of good courage, keep American values alive in your children and stay healthy. God bless 🙏

    Planning an alternative bugout camp is a good idea. You can store bugout kits in caches. This weekend I'll cache mylar blankets, ponchos, fire making kits, extra clothing, and food and water, torches and cordage.

    Meanwhile, 6 years later... this is one of the best preparation videos I've seen. It's interesting to see the different things different people pack. This video certainly has me thinking of how I can be better prepared. I'm with Engineer; I have the Bible sealed in a large zip lock bag in my cargo box. Consider 1 and 2 gallon zip lock bags for everything. Zip lock bags save room by eliminating product packaging while protecting against rain or simple condensation. You can also seal individual magazines in zip log bags with silica desiccant packs. Looks like you have a great cross-section of friends. When SHTF, knowing people with different skill sets (and perspectives) will be an asset. Great video and ideas. Thank you!

  • @jturbina23
    @jturbina23 9 лет назад

    I enjoyed watching this video. I believe these folks are your everyday type people with a common mindset to be prepared... and in my opinion, having a bug out plan and executing it is paramount to being prepared. This community conducted their exercise extremely well. I've read many comments dismissing the value of bugging out... which I say - "Bugging out is inevitable, therefore, it should be high priority in everyone preps because you never know if your home can be compromised." What I retrieved from this video is motivation to conduct a similar routine with my family and friends. Thanks so much Sootch. You're the best!

Making fires, finding and filtering water, making shelter, etc etc. Hell, just last night I amazed him just by tieing my hair back into a ponytail and a hidden bun with just my own hair, no hair ties, lol. He was like wow! How'd you do that! Lol. I told him that if he thought that was awesome just wait till I show him what else I can do lol.

    @justwayne4785 8 лет назад +15

    There are a few things I'd like to comment on, but first I'd just like to say, well done for having a plan and practicing it, great video.
    The first thing I'd like to point out is that nobody should have anything in their pack that is still in the packaging, apart from the obvious weight issues when it's all added up, it's so easy to open something up only to find it doesn't work, even something so simple as a lighter.
    Secondly, this is mainly to those that have left comments regarding people using camo style packs, first, many have said it makes you a bigger target, I would say the opposite is true, if like people have said it makes you appear more prepared, then doesn't it also ring true that you would maybe think there is a good chance that the person would be armed, so it's a safer option stealing from somebody that doesn't look like they were ready for whatever situation is currently underway.
    Also, if that really is a big concern, but a waterproof cover in some other colour.

  • @BdogFinal14
    @BdogFinal14 Год назад

    This is an excellent example of the real world preps most people make. This preparation of this group is all over the map, some are squared away, others need more quality training. I organize this way. My BOB contains all the essential items. But, my additional food, water and other supplies with go in large duffel bags.

  • @rockymntnliberty
    @rockymntnliberty 4 года назад +12

    I keep seeing these lightweight small bug out bags, and when I look at my 60 lb pack, I just feel like I'm doing something wrong. It occurred to me while watching the video that part of the difference is most people are focused on 72 hours in a moderate to warm climate. If I'm strapping on my bug out bag and my wife strapping on hers, it is the end of the world as we know it and there is no reprieve in 72 hours. The and perhaps biggest disparity in the pack sizes and weights is I'm prepared to bug out at 30 below zero, whereas most I see are prepared to bug out at room temperature or a little cooler.

    • @LindaPatton1980
      @LindaPatton1980 9 месяцев назад +1

      You're more preparing an I.N.C.H bag (I'm Not Coming Home bag). 70 pounds is ideal, as long as you can carry. As Sooch says, 1ounce carried, quickly becomes 1 pound ect.
      Do what suits you, your family, your circumstances and your environment.
      Stay safe ❤

    great to see your group has a plan that is rehearsed from time to time. Hope there is no need for an evacuation.

  • @PRDreams
    @PRDreams 3 года назад +1

    Very little prep for sleeping.
    • good coverall (think mechanic or garbage pickup workers)
    • warm pair of socks that doesn't restrict blood flow
    Warm pair of gloves a size bigger than usual ( we swell a bit while we sleep)
    • a compact hammock
    All of that doesn't take much space and you can hang the hammock where you are going to hang the tarp.
    This is obviously a plan in case the plan fails. If you can't make it to the agreed place for whatever reason and need to ditch your car, you still need to sleep.

    The overall idea is good. In a panic situation when whole towns are being evacuated,you may have to leave your vehicle though.
    I backpack every other week. Normally for 72 hrs. I have a 30 lbs pack with everything to survive. It's in my truck all the time ready to go.
    Some people with items spread out in huge containers in their vehicle,will just have to leave that stuff behind.

    • @robertpowell4238
      @robertpowell4238 10 лет назад +1

      as long as you have what you need in you pack - it is still good to have the extra containers as well. if you don't have to ditch you car then you will more for your comfort, if you do have to ditch it - oh well, it would have been lost if you left it at home as well. grab your pack and ditch the rest. kind the "hope for the best but expect the worst" mindset

    To all of you saying these people are old and over weight. The truth is, in a Life or Death situation that dosen't matter. I was working in a Citgo chemical plant when a major explosion occurred (2 Died) I saw a guy that was 200 lbs. overweight run fast as slim, young guys, and he climbed a 8 foot barbed wire fence and ran another half mile as fast as he needed to.

      like idk a foregrip is a biomechanical form enhancer that is called tactical it fits into tactical cause its what everybody around you has

To do nothing and allow evil to dominate, conquer, is extreme ignorance. Tell me dipshite, do you simply pray for food and a happy meal appears? No, you have to stand and go attain your wants. Prayer is that your a faithful believer, thankful and your safe in your attempts at your objectives. To do nothing, your 100% ignorant regardless of your level of Christianity. Honest Work makes an honest person, prayer and faith is our obligation and communication with, to our lord. More to this responsibility called ‘prepping’ than sadly enough, your assuming, it is common sense, prepardeness ,not panic, responsibility, obligatory, not its opposite of...

  • @melaniexoxo
    @melaniexoxo 9 лет назад +18

    Really great vid. Many of these people seem really disorganized, thats the only thing that concerns me.
    The reality is that in an emergency situation youre going to have all types of people, including the elderly and handicapped. I'm not really sure why so many of the commenters seem to think that the thin people are the ones that are going to make it. I'd assume nothing of the kind.
    I'd also not assume that you'll be able to stay with your vehicle. I hope all of these people can walk with their gear. I was kinda concerned over the lady with all of the blankets in her trunk and no way to carry water with her
    Anyway really good vid.

    BEST "BUG OUT" VIDEO I'VE SEEN RECENTLY ! Concept of a "joint exercise" as noted is SUPERB ! Most preppers have never actually put their plans to a test - or worse, have NO real plan aside from "hitting the road". And this lack of actual testing is FAR WORSE when you consider their families, who may or may not consider prepping important. GREAT VIDEO !

    When it comes to prepping - organization is the key. It seems that most of the people in the video are lacking this. Incredible.
    I can't understand how they can have their trunks so messy.. For most of them - especially the three ladies, everything seemed tossed around and things were even carried in open shopping/grocery bags. Also, incredible. At least most of the open bags very made of toughter material than basic plastic. It seems to be most about having most ammo. Sootch seems to be the only one to actually have some sort of control when it comes to the trunk, and knows most about the topics around prepping etc.

      @jasonmcdaniel7878 5 лет назад +9

      This is not a mis-titled video because they literally bugged out to this location and later did inventory. 0:56 They were given 45 minutes to gather everything they have for a bug out in an unexpected moment's notice. Then, they would all bug out to meet them in one predetermined location. Doing inventory once you're at your location is an important step too. Therefore, this is by definition a Bug Out. I know this is an older comment, but at least you know now.

    Just a little side note, for your kids or even yourself, consider adding to your kit steroid inhalers like symbicort. You never know when a respiratory infection could get out of hand. They are small but carry up to 160 doses in each tube.

      james ranger As someone in the medical field who also has asthma I highly advise against this. This medication is only for preventative asthmatics, meaning it helps dialate bronchiole tubes to prevent asthma attacks. It has nasty side effects, and is not for the treatment of a respiratory infection. I'm not trying to be rude, but this is terrible advise.

CA to TX via Amtrak, everyones bags look the same. We are a retired military so we bought on base some glow in the dark hanging name tags that you can write your names on, so each person will know who's bag is who's even when under stressful conditions.

    I know of one very important thing that I don't think I heard a single person in the group say that they had with them and it's one thing I can't live without.... sharpening stone. I have a passion for knives and I hate dull knives. My kids joke that all I'd have to do is point one of my knives at somebody and it would cut them LOLOLOLOL!!! Seriously though, if you've bugged out and are in a camp setup situation, you will probably want to sharpen a stick or cut rope or make a notch in some wood (fire saw). Well that'd be awful hard to do with a dull knife!!

    Something most people aren't considering is dragging small children on a bug out. I would recommend having a way to transport a child either by a heavy duty stroller with wheels for rugged terrain or a pack style carrier for your child. There is no way a small child will be able to walk long distances if you have to leave your vehicle. Another thing is a leash system for toddlers and smaller children so they don't get lost in a crowd. Also keep up to date photos so that if you do get separated you have that to show people who might have seen your child. Little ones are often difficult to drink water. I suggest the flavored drops you can put in their water so they will drink it and not get dehydrated. In a stressful situation, children will often refuse food and water. A few small busy things for them is also a good idea, a puzzle or coloring book, card games like fish.
    You should also include in your B.O.B. is an emergency fishing kit. Just my 2 cents! Great video. Thanks for sharing.

If a desperate person saw a "tactical" or military type bag that is the first place they will focus on for supplies in a group on foot. change the bags to colorful ones, hello kitty, my little pony, etc. and they may not give it a second glance.

Military suitable only for natural disasters, but will complicate your salvation, because you will be less noticeable. All military equipment such as knives will be taken away by military any of the warring parties.
