@SinCityPrepping Good video, I like how you have certain items in containable packages. IE first aid, fire items. That way they can be separated/removed from your main bag, and put back afterwards with ease. Also great to see you have bags for your wife, and kids too. As often is the case, family gets separated doing daily stuff [shopping, sleepovers, work, errands etc] hence the importance of everyone having their own bag with duplicated items. Good idea for the coffee supply ; ) Great choice in bags man. I have 2 bags by 5.11. The "Rush 72", and the "All Hazards Prime". I like how the 5.11 bags are so versatile and modular. Good idea removing the air from the clothing bag. Takes up less room in the bag when packing. I'm gonna use that idea. Also liked keeping the socks and shoes together as well. It's practical since that's exactly the order you will resort to when you swap out your sandals to go offroad !! I too watch Kris @CityPrepping as well. The guy is a wealth of knowledge and his presentations are easy to follow. My "Go Bag" is more complete thanks to him. If I may make a few suggestions to add, if not already there; 1. Keep an extra supply of maintenance meds for any family member [ie BP meds, diabetics, inhalers] and duplicate it in your bag as well in case they forget theirs. 2. I noticed you have a pet [little schnauzer that video bombed ya :) ]. Don't forget a couple cans of dog food and misc. items they may need [water/food dish, blanket poop bags] 3. Have a few heavy duty contractor bags to use as a pillow to stuff leaves etc [use as possible insulator]. Super compact and weigh almost nothing. 4. A few small garbage bags to collect refuse when you close camp to move out. *Never let anyone know "WHO and HOW MANY" were there* kind of scenario. 5. If not already, ensure the females pack feminine hygiene products 6. All bags carry their own 3 day supply of toilet paper. Outdoor stores have the compacted rolls that weigh almost nothing and some need only a few drops of water to "unfold" them for use. I'm sure you probably have these items, but if not, hope this helps.
Thank you for this comment! Kris rocks! I believe he was the first guy I started following when researching all thing prepping. Thank you for the suggestions. I have most of these addressed. I made a couple different videos showing what is in the toiletry bag (female hygiene, toilet paper), first aid kit (meds), fire kit etc. The video would of just been too long to go over each thing. Currently, I have a spare 5.11 pouch that I’ve placed the pups dog food, water, small trash bags and collapsible bowls in. They hated the harnesses that I tried out for them. I’m still working on that! Great idea on the large trash bags. The insulating factor when stuffed with clothes or leaves is awesome. Would make an OK make shift poncho too. Couple other things I’m considering adding is a couple small camouflage tarps. They’re light and compact too. And some decent ponchos. Not that we get much rain here but my luck when I need it I wouldn’t have it! Thanks again for the comment. Hope you have a great New Year.
Way too much stuff for a three day bag. Loose the hatchet, fishing stuff, all the extra clothing, solar panel, get the bag down to about 25lbs. Better to be light and fast in my opinion. Nice gear.
I agree way to much stuff , would love to see how far he would travel in Nevada with a grid down situation in that part of the country. Nice setup though but unrealistic in execution..
Great pack! Love the food. Would add a candle 🕯️ lantern 🎃 to each pack because that's 1200 more BTUs and plenty of light. A headlamp is not a candling device. If I had to pick a headlamp or a hurricane lamp and a gallon of gas I am packing that heavy ass lamp because I don't want to freeze 🥶 to death ☠️💀 and experience has taught me body heat alone will not bring you out of hypothermia.
@@sincityprepping Yea! When it rains it pours. Other than that would be interesting to see the sleeping setup all set-up and how it’s supposed to be used in addition with the other parts of the sleeping equipment
@@sincityprepping Two "GI sized" ponchos snapped together make for a pretty decent tarp tent, and mosquito (our State bird lol) netting is the size of an egg. A third poncho serves as a Ranger Roll or as a "floor" for an A frame poncho/tarp tent.
Some of this stuff is highly unnecessary and I would rethink some options in your pack. Based on your tag name your probably in the desert. Even though you look to be in pretty good shape, the desert is a killer I would highly recommend you cut a lot of the weight especially in the heat that you might encounter. The hatchet unnecessary for your surroundings I would opt for a most a saw like a Silke Saw which will serve you well in that environment. I would also opt for a lighter pack. Look at what through lightweight hikers use. Other than food they sustain themselves for a lot longer through different climates with a lot less, other than food. Also I would rethink the MREs and go with dry food like mountain house from REI. Do your research, MREs are not of the highest quality and can be rough on sensitive stomachs. I think there is more value in getting proper freeze dried meals over something designed to be stored for decades to military standards. There is already a cooking element in the MRE so you have too many redundancies for cooking. I would pick on that you confident with over three that do the same thing. I would also dump the shoes I would assume that you are already wearing sturdy shoes in a bug out scenario.
People tell me that go bags people sell are not up to standards that you will want to build your own. Do wool socks itch? Family members tell me to stay away from wool. What kind of backpack is that?
I wear Morena wool. They don’t itch at all. Great for wicking away moisture too. Wool socks from years ago itched so bad. The newer ones are great. I wish there was a legit bag I could of bought. But each bag should be customizable for your situation. Besides. They’re fun to build and then you know what’s in them and how to use it.
Awesome! I’d love to see individual break downs of the water/fire kits!
Check them out! One is titled Water Storage. The other is Fire Kit.
@@sincityprepping thank you!

A hatchet can build a house. It's worth it's weight in gold

Not a bad idea! I have plenty of those UCO 9 hour candles with holders. Could easily toss one in there.
Good to see other desert dwellers into preparedness 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
It’s great. Seems to be more and more!
Those other videos you have are awesome!
Do you find a lot of use for a hatchet, in las vegas?
Unfortunately, not once this week!
Nice. Seems like a capable pack. Do you pack any rain gear, like ponchos or such?
Rain? What rain? We probably should. Poncho's are cheap and light. Would be our luck for an emergency to happen the one day we get rain!
@@sincityprepping Yea! When it rains it pours. Other than that would be interesting to see the sleeping setup all set-up and how it’s supposed to be used in addition with the other parts of the sleeping equipment
Easy enough! I’ll add it to the list.

@@baronedipiemonte3990 that’s a great idea. I’ll have to try that! Thank you
What will you do with all the electronics in case of an electromagnetic impulse? Throw it away?
I probably should be looking into some faraday bags and cases. Do you prep those?
What kind of backpack do you use for your go bag? The padding on the back part with all that weight is essential!
Added links to both packs we use. I forgot to show that the pack also has a hard plastic insert than can be used as a shovel as well.

Love the suggestions. I’ll definitely be checking out some freeze dried packets vs the MRE’s.
