Urban Bug Out Bag
Version 2.0
The following project is an effort at creating an Urban Bug Out Bag from the ground up. Each item was highly researched, analytically analyzed and obsessively organized in multiple compartments (or modules). When combined, these individual compartments create an emergency preparedness backpack that could be used for survival purposes in natural and man-made disasters. The project creation was documented on RUclips through a series of videos. Lengthy dialog was conducted amongst other "Preppers" in the RUclips community to help collaborate on the overall design. While the final design is by no means meant to be a "perfect bug out bag", which is impossible to achieve, it is meant to satisfactorily sustain myself in an emergency for several days in Western Washington state (United States). While the information is this document (and corresponding videos) could theoretically be referenced for other individuals bug out bags, it is specifically designed for my particular needs and region.
The compartments included in Part 1 include:
Main Backpack
SAS Survival Pouch
Cooking Compartment
Water Compartment
Shelter Compartment
Miscellaneous Items

I have never seem anyone as thoroughly prepared for any emergency as you! I was following along with the video and it suddenly became like trying to drink from of a fire hydrant; I was very overwhelmed. The pdf you include is incredibly helpful. I really thought I had a handle on being prepared for emergencies but, Sir, I am woefully unprepared. I watch your videos every morning and work on my B.O.B. throughout the day / week. Thank you so very much for your intelligent approach to teaching a complex subject. I am forever in your debt!
Thank you Urban Prepper! I live in CA, on peninsula and have been watching and learning from you and Canadian Prepper for many years although new to subscribing. Today 1/2021 my dear step-daughter (26yo) asked me to help her make her own emergency pack. It was a proud, sobering moment... but I was ready. Thanks to your teaching and willingness to share knowledge I knew to come here to find a comprehensive list to get her started.
I appreciate your dedication to safety.
Thank you again!
Thanks a bunch! It took a LONG time to make this video (production, editing, filming, etc), but I am happy with the end result. I am happy that the information is useful to others. It makes it so worth it.
i dont know why im watching this.its almost relaxing?maybe because its so organized

I think your videos are very helpful, regardless of the negative feedback received here. I would like to address some of this negativity with some real world experience. My comments are lengthy, but worth the read, IMO.
First, I am a Navy Veteran of the first Gulf War, and have humped many miles with a 60+ pound pack, and a field medical kit as well. I was also impacted by Hurricane Sandy in NJ. So I have some experience in the prepping area, and the practical use of most of this equipment.
For those addressing the weight of TheUrbanPrepper's BOB, it is manageable for the average male. When you're in an emergency situation, your adrenalin will give you the extra oomph to get going with your bag. There are ways to easily transport a BOB and its contents. If the weight and size of the bag is an issue for you, and you don't mind having another bag, consider a rolling duffle bag with a rigid frame and telescoping handle. Then, you can place the BOB on top of the duffle and strap it to the handle, and use the duffle for other items, such as more clothing. Obviously, this is not ideal if you have to move quickly, or trek through the woods, etc. If you have to ditch the duffle, make sure it only contains non-essential items. You can also consider a rolling backpack with a telescoping handle. Another idea is to get a compact luggage cart and bungee cords. What ever works for you.
When we were hit with Hurricane Sandy, the area was under a mandatory evacuation. Residents only had 30 minutes to gathering important items and place them in ONE bag. People were transported in school buses to disaster relief areas, such as high schools and shopping centers. The weight of the bag is really not that important in this scenario, because you're not humping the bag for miles. In most urban mass emergencies, more than likely people will be transported out of the area. There may be times when you'll have to get out of dodge yourself, so weight is of greater consideration.
Regarding duplicate items, I carry them as well, especially for frequently used/critical items. Redundancy is your best friend! Also, having extra items allows you to barter with other people for items that you may have forgotten, lost, depleted, etc. You just have to find the right balance, and avoid overkill. Another idea for extra items is to have an overflow bag that a family member can carry. Sometimes, I'll buy better stuff to replace items I already have, and will put the old stuff in another bag just in case.
As for the labeling of compartments and internal storage bags, it's an excellent idea if you are bugging out with other people, such as the wife and kids. It makes it very easy for them to find the items that they need. It's not really an OCD issue, but rather excellent planning. I would not want someone emptying the entire contents out of my bag because they can't find something. There's nothing worse than being disorganized in a high stress situation. The last thing you or your family needs to do is panic and lose focus on the important things. Labeling also comes in handy if you are partially/fully incapacitated and someone else needs to tend to your needs. That's assuming they are not going to run off with your bag! :-) Labeling could save your life.
Bag style is really a matter of personal choice. A tactical bag gives you many possibilities for organization and quick access to important items. A plain bag works as well, but slows you down a bit. Regarding the bag looking "tactical", simply buy a backpack rain cover. They come in plain colors, and can completely conceal the visible portion of your bag when you wear it, and can even totally enclose it. A large black contractor's garbage bag works as well, and has other uses.
For personal protection, and protection of your valuable BOB, I personally would be carrying a semi-automatic 9mm, and have a family member carry a 38 Special Revolver. The revolver will always go Bang when the 9mm jambs, etc. Again, redundancy will save your life. A fixed blade knife is great for cutting wood, general use, etc, but not for self defense, unless you have been trained in knife fighting. It's still good to have, but I wouldn't rely solely on a knife for protection. You'll want to avoid close contact if you can. I have a Ka-Bar BK-10 Crewman, which is a great all around knife for a BOB. A little heavy, but you can beat the p!ss out of it!
I personally stress water filtration and purification, and have a few options in my bag. Just don't rely on bottled water alone. In an urban bug out like I mentioned above, it may take the government days, or worse a week or more, to get water to you. Never rely on the government!!
I'm sure I've left out some things I wanted to comment on, so I will post more as I think of them. I welcome your comments, but please keep them civil. We are all here to learn, and to help each other. We also have different budgets to work with, so please don't bash someone for spending a bit extra money on items than you would have. Please share your ideas and comments.
Thanks!
D Hansen I would personally carry a full size, high capacity, high quality .45ACP for my primary handgun and .compact .40 caliber for my backup. Save the nine for the women (yes, I have a CCW permit and a lot of guns, which I've been shooting and collecting for decades. The 9 may have more capacity, and you need those extra shots. I personally know people that have been shot at close range with 9 mil JHP [jacketed hollow point] ammo 5 and more rounds and lived, with a guy who even was able to run half a block, get his friend to drive him to a hospital, where he obviously was saved, and could have returned fire if he'd have been armed. If you know how to maintain your guns (which you should, a gun is next to useless if you buy it and put the gun in a drawer. Practice, familiarity, knowing the gun inside out (including how it works, what each part is and does, clearing jams, etc...... is part of gun ownership.If you don't know how to field strip, scrub, lube, and maintain your gun that's asking for it.
Even the much more powerful and effective .40 caliber and .357 Sig Auto is nearly the recoil of a 9, and women (even children) can be taught how to use it effectively. The .45ACP actually has a smoother recoil (IMO, the 9 is more "snappy", and the .45 hits with a lot more power, puts more energy into the guy you shoot, makes a much bigger hole, and puts the attacker on his ass much faster. It's 230 grain JHP load's normal performance is about 96% one-shot-stops, and some ammo is even better. Full metal jacket, 230 grain .45ACP gives 86 to 89%, and rounds tend to lodge in the attacker's body (rather than hit an innocent bystander across the room). The 9 and .38 Special are "maybe" rounds (maybe they'll stop the guy, maybe not, before he can cover the distance and harm you, even if you make good, solid hits with all 5 rounds of a .38 snub nose revolver, typical .38 snubby capacity). As far as revolvers going bang every time, ever drop one on a concrete/asphalt/ wood surface? It can actually cause the cylinder timing to become outta whack (the chambers in the cylinder don't line up with the barrel. Easier than many think and it's a tedious and time consuming pain in the ass job, even for a skilled armorer). Agree on the Marine Ka-Bar. It's the best combat knife ever made in my opinion.
This is one of the best comments I've read in years. Semper Fi, Doc. I know you had to be a corpsman ("hump", "field medical"), and you did it with the Marines (60 lbs).
Thank you gentlemen for your service
Shame that in the UK we don't have the option of a firearm for self defence.
Totally agree. Urban Prepper, I would make the decision to disregard the Grey Man and get back to your original enthusiasm you had when doing these videos. Organization is your personal talent and when you started on with all the grey man stuff your enthusiasm went down. Being a grey man is only a tiny part of prepping. Look at the military: totally NOT grey.
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years! I think it’s time for a revamped Bug-out Bag video.
I live in Seattle also and I have put together a few bug out bags. My cloths are old hiking cloths that I've used to change oil and do yard work. I am using old but comfy backpacker packs. Why you ask? To blend in with the roughly 3000 homeless people in our city so I do not get robbed for all the really nice gear I have inside my bag.
I love how you have PDFs of your gear!
I'm glad you enjoy the PDF's! The new BOB video will have a VERY extensive PDF. :)
@@TheUrbanPrepper video on proper PDF storage?
wrap ductape around your canteen or bottle it saves space and the tape will stay sticky if it is wrapped around on itself. Or if you have MREs you can wrap the packages in ductape to compress the package and also have some ductape handy.I would also get a map of your local area. Also some bug spray will make your like a million times better especially if having to navigate through a wet/marsh area. Also some 550 cord is a life saver.
This is the best comfort bug out bag I've seen. I think there are some things that are to redundant but if its not more then 25lbs it kicks ass THANK YOU for the PDF. I'm a female with a 13 yo son and I'm not military Military wife but its not the same and this is a huge help. I'd really like to see a bag u'd have a child under 80lbs carry. Girls DON'T WAIT FOR A GUY TO DO THIS FOR U OR YOUR KIDS U CAN DIY!!!!!
You might want to take the 'the urban prepper' off the back....it might as well be a 'smash the soft spot just above the sign and win prizes!' sign.
I'm guess he knows about opsec and probably changes any logos and whatnot before storing gear.
Urban Prepper - just wanted to thank you for your efforts in putting this together and posting. I know you probably do it 'cause you enjoy it, but its also a service and favour to others so thank you. You have inspired me to think more about prepping and make my own bug out bag and I have been building one for a few months now.
Impressive bag, a lot stuff in here you could use to easily live as a drifter.. The cool thing about the urban landscape is that it really is its own wilderness. You can literally forage/hunt and gather in the Concrete jungle. I was taught this when I was a kid, truly a subject all its own. I commend you for your efforts, and obviously as you said in the beginning this is your personal set up.
Although I think that you are humping far too much gear, your organization and attention to detail is quite thoughtful. Your B.O.B's contents are the most comprehensive and detailed that I have seen on the subject. For the most part, your pack contains the universe of items that one should consider when assembling a B.O.B. Also, I recommend that viewers of your video review the items listed on your extremly well done PDF document, and select those that suit their needs. Great job!
I'm such a nerd I followed along using the PDF. Super helpful though. Thanks for providing that!
Dude...Great Video Series! Even if people don't buy exactly what you have in your bag, the information and reviews are excellent. Newbies and pros can learn something about being organized from you. As a former combat medic, finding everything you've packed is easily worth a life in a scenario where time matters. This can apply to getting a shelter up, cleaning water for drinking, or administering first aid! Again - thanks for your time and energy making these vids.
So far, this is the most well organized and well presented bug out bag video I've seen. And, the pdf is also brilliant. Top marks on the quality and organization of this video.
Dude, you get my vote for most organized prepper! Downloaded both the BOB and Home Prepping system...saved me a TON of time trying to figure it all out! Thanks and keep it up!
What an outstanding review. Very nicely done. Lots of good information too. Thank you for it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
I don't have a tent with this BOB. I have a tarp. If someone was injured at 9/11, I bet they would LOVE having that cot available to use as a stretcher to evacuate an area. The cot could be setup over broken glass, puddles of water, rocks, and multiple hard/uneven surfaces that other mattresses couldn't. If there was a bad earthquake and no other shelter was available, I would love to have a tent or tarp for my family. Also, coffee is a great moral booster. Again, I reference weapons in the PDF.
The ocd is strong with this one.
LMFAO
yeup ... my first thought and impression .... but, pretty nice ...
It's CDO. ;^)
all that stuff and he forgot his psych meds
That might be so but, most of the great scientists - notably Isaac Newton, writers, in fact in every realm of accomplishment could be said to have the same characteristic.
Thanks for this video and especially for going to the trouble of preparing the well-put-together PDF file. You put so much work into these PDF's and then just give them out for free ... respect!
You've thought of everything. Very impressed, thank you for sharing.
Ive got the rush 72 as my bob bag. Im a short guy and not that heavy but i can pack this thing full and it wears like a dream. its seriously the most comfortable pack ive ever put on and i own and have tried dozens of packs. If anyone out there is thinking of this pack but isnt sure im telling you you will not be dissapointed. BTW great video!
+Gina Fuoti no ive tried similar packs condor 3 day assault and fox tactical with the modular pouches. niether were to my liking also the sog backpack i tried but it rubbed on the back of my neck making it very uncomfortable my friend tried it who was bigger than me slightly and he didnt have that problem so maybe it was just me its also resonably priced 45 dollars i think . hope that helps.
I suggest adding a hatchet to the exterior of the pack to help in the collection of wood. Also, considering that you live in Seattle, I suggest investing in a waterproof bag cover considering it rains there so much.
I keep looking for complete BOB for many months...finally I got it from you, Thank you so much.
You forgot to mention where you store your label maker.
This is just superb, I have been researching "bug out careers" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Janameron Tenylan System - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin got excellent success with it.
hahahahaha
Funny comment for someone who is trying to make an income for survival on RUclips.
Label maker is first line gear. Never leaves immediate access 24/7.
Men have such a primitive sense of humor….
Thanks for the comment. The patches on the outside are for RUclips purposes only. So it will basically be just a large black backpack. I don't think it matters what kind of backpack it is in, for the most part. If I had everything stored in a cheap army surplus or Walmart backpack I feel that it would also be prone to stealing. I can't control that, but I can use protection if needed. I did not read anything during Superstorm Sandy regarding people stealing backpacks from each other.
Have you ever been told that you sound like Mr.Slave from South Park?
Troll Hungry Yes. I don't watch South Park so I have no idea who Mr. Slave is.
It's cool, Nice video by the way, really helped me with getting started, thank you.
OH MY GOD YOUR RIGHT!
@@TheUrbanPrepper how much does the bag end up weighing? Stumbled upon your video as a recommendation. Do live in Edmonds or shorline?
+Tyler What about Mister Hat? Mister Hanky would be really funny. Can you imagine a survivalism video narrated by Mister Hankey and Peter Griffin? Haha. Edit : for real, why carry stuff like cell phones and laptops in a societal collapse? I agree with the HAM radio, but a compass and map ( and knowing how to properly use them, including shooting an azimuth, would serve you way better than a GPS. On the shoulder attachment points of my tac vest/plate carrier are a deluxe multi tool, military compass, extra LED flashlight ( even lots of the compact flashlights are surprisingly powerful. An LED military style crook neck flashlight and head lamp, plus some powerful and extra LED flashlights ( along with various color lenses to preserve my night vision, signal, and remain hidden better ) and, plenty of extra batteries for everything, a hand crank flashlight, and other useful items like chem lights, fire bags, are in my rucks and on my tac vests/plate carriers, pistol belt, leg kit, etc........)
I also lash the compression sacks containing my sleep gear ( a surplus ICS U.S. G.I. tunnel tent with it's blackout capable rain fly, stakes poles, and guy lines, which is lashed to a compression sack containing the improved middle layer of the U.S. military sleep system's middle layer [now gray and warm to 10 degrees below 0 degrees farenheit], along with a mil surp foam sleep pad and Marine bivvy cover, all rolled up nice and tight and kept good with several lengths of para cord, yet another thing you can never have too much of is paracord because it has so many uses. Surplus is pretty much always superior to civilian gear like that in most every way IMO, same with rucks, boots, BDUs, etc....... Also, instead of buying and packing a ground cover, a couple of really strong, heavy duty contractor bags are good for that and lots more and it nice and flat at the base of your ruck. A shower curtain liner bought at the dollar store also is excellent for a ground cover, packs light and tight, and costs a mere dollar. I maximize space in my rucks by making extensive use on compression sacks, Ranger folding my clothing, and making wise use of all my MOLLE.
I think too many people neglect multiple, large and well stocked drug and med bags. Regardless of your views on the subject, be in some real pain and you'll beg for lots of powerful opioids. Start having debilitating panic attacks or even anxiety ( if you don't already ) because you're going into combat for the first time, had to kill your fist man if that bothers you, realize society is fucked, any number of things, and you'll beg for some Xanax bars ( plus, of course, antibiotics and such because you'll need those at some point). And it seems many people, when they show their "first aid kit"/IFAK, whatever, show a boo boo kit with some Tylenol, Benadryl, gauze and band aids. You better pack serious drug bags and serious trauma kits with things like Quick Clot, Sulpha powder, combat gauze, EMT shears, surgical tape, chest seals for sucking chest wounds, CAT tourniquets, bleed stop bandages, Glacier Gel, SAM splints, and such. That laptop, GPS, music and headphones, and the stupid electronics people actually put in their "bug out bags", along with their jet boil stoves with gas cylinders ( instead of a compact, durable, simple Esbit stove, flat G.I/Boy Scout mess kit, aluminum 1 qt canteen cup, pioneer bottle/metal liter or so bottle you can stick on a bed of coals/in a fire to cook in and boil water, simple NATO utensil set, well stocked fire bag, life straw, Sawyer filter system, etc....... ), food you'd cook for a family dinner ( instead of "field stripped" MREs, those foil packs of Mahatma red beans and rice, Cliff/power/protein/granola/energy bars, granola, dried nuts and fruit, packs of Spam/tuna fish/chicken, and other practical and nutritious camping food [ as well as knowledge of hunting, trapping, and fishing and preparing and cooking wild game and identifying edible and medicinal plants/herbs in your operational area(s) ] is dumbfounding. If there is a situation where true B.O.B.s are needed and some gang of bandits are shooting at you ( and maybe you caught a round ), some REAL painkillers, a gun, and some ammo will matter a whole lot more than a laptop, your phone, music, and the various tech gadgets I see video after video of people stuffing their "bug out" Rush 72s to bursting with. And when
I agree that you have a lot more pre-existing shelter options in an urban environment. That is why I didn't include a tent and focused extra weight to the cot, just in case my shelter was a local community center, underneath a freeway overpass, or some other location with a possibly hard or jagged flooring (possibly popping an inflatable mattress).
10:33 Judging by that big orange patch I would say this bag is more than meets the eye.
What a great video. So detailed and organized. By far one of the best channels I have watched. Kudos to you and your planning. I'm going to print the PDF out and follow along. Thank you for your videos and being able to learn from.
Thanks, such a great idea, the pdf file. We live at our BOL and are a bit too old for running away. But We always have had grab bags in case of forest fire evacuation. I am at present making up two precise BOBs as my son is a sheeple and laughs at my preps. I know he will head here out of the UK should things turn nasty in any way, so the BOBs are for him and his wife. I have only managed to get them to make a car survival bag, just hoping they get here.
Fair enough. He did a very nice job with that bag and what I particularly like is his PDF of exactly what is in it. We all forget and in a crisis situation tend to get a little flustered. All he has to do is check his PDF and he will know exactly what is where. Very clever of him. Honestly now, I have no clue as to what could happen. Who knows?
Where did you find the K-bar that cheap? I think your pack is very well thought out and the video and PDF is very well done.
It's the most complete video I've ever seen about survival training. Congratulations sir.👏👏👏
It's a very nice bag. However, it looks too tactical and brings too much attention.
I’m in Australia and see plenty of people carrying the Rush 12,24 and 72 as edc bags. Whether in Black camo or tan
Yeah I'd be afraid of another less prepared nut job jumping me for my $3000 survival bag
If I didn't have anything, I'd immediately go for the fat white dude wearing a "tAcTiCoOL" backpack over some other guy with a generic bag that isn't packed to capacity. At the very least, get a rain cover (if it isn't raining, you'll still stand out).
Why does everyone worry about it looking too tactical? Nobody is going to give shit one. You all will be on the move out of dodge.
MSTA57 yep even the uni kids have them here!
Hobbies don't have to make complete sense. I have an aunt who LOVES to make baskets. She'll spend $100 and 40 hours to make a basket that wouldn't sell for $20! It is a good part of her life though.
I've spent very little time hiking but have spent several hundred dollars and many days of time preparing for when I go. I measure and weigh, check product reviews, walk to get in shape for the "hike" etc.
It doesn't balance logically but I don't regret it and I enjoy it.
No AM/FM radio for up to the minute news???!
Beached Bum Baofeng UV5R is also a FM reciever
Thanks for show us what to care with inside the bugout bag. We go up to Seattle once a year for vacation and visit the family and hopping to meet you in person someday to shake your hand for being a great American
There is some things that really should be put elsewhere. Dedicate one area for fire, don't just put fire items in 2 pouches. Gun is ok, but again, don't put the same items in areas where they really should not be.
The headlamp should be connected some how to the front of your bag, not in a pouch. In a hurry, when it's getting dark, you really do not want to be stopping to get your light.
You need a good quality medical pouch with training on how to use it. I think everyone should learn how to use a medical bag. I would much rather have a paramedic on my team too.
This bag has items all over the place. Too much items is too much weight. Those extra gum, and the saw, they may feel like they are light, but it all adds up.
This is not designed for urban prepping. If you're going to be surviving in the city, leave space for items you may get by looting.
This is the best bug-out bag video on RUclips I've ever seen. You are a very organized and intelligent individual with a well put together pack. Thanks for the great info - I'm impressed.
this guy should be on the marketing department
I think a kit like this can be useful. I dont think the look of the bag matters either. A bag is a bag, and if someone really wants it, they will try to take it. Like most who are complaining how it will never be used, I hope no one will have to use their bug out bag, then that means things just got really bad...my all purpose bag, is an urban, woods craft type of set up. I can use it for hiking trips, road trips, hunting, etc. I don't store food/water in it until I use my bag, then its fresh...
This video should be called.."When Rich People are Paranoid"
man you still inspire mee coming back to this video , you have always put very concice and organized informatin, you are incredible , aplause
when it happens, survival plan = find the guy who has prepared with this kit and knock him out and take his survival kit.
There are over 7 billion people on the earth today and only 1 of me. That's quite an exhaustive search in order to assault and rob someone for a kit. Best of luck.

yeh this fool going to get his shit taken within in 24 hours.
I think it's important, especially if you live in particular regions. In Western Washington we only get sunshine around 2 weeks a year, so I try to prep more for rain than I do a tan. :)
You, sir, are squared away!
Sir, I have to say that I extremely enjoy your videos. They are so well put together and quality, and your included .pdf is awesome. Please keep up the good work, and thank you for your channel!
Too much stuff in that bag it's going to be too heavy and you even said its for an urban environment there is plenty of stuff you don't need in it. Do you train with the bag at all? You need to hike with it and try running and doing other activity's with it on.
I agree, he's going for too many comfort items. The result is a ridiculously heavy bag from the looks of it. Bug out bags should never be over 25 pounds.
Connie Daly Absolutely! While im not going to paste links ill tell you the channels you can find them on (just put the channel name and the words "bug out bag" and you should find them". They are:

The main point of a bug out bag is to sustain you for a 72 hour period, because usually by then help arrives or you are rescued. While this bag does that, it is extremely cumbersome. My bag weighs in at around 22 pounds and certain it can do the same.
Phil Theeneger Very helpful! Thanks :)

The fact that you made a pdf list that is so detailed made me subscribe. I watched a few videos today and they were all great. I have a rush 72 so i will no doubt be getting it set up for bob.
+Accendio Thank you so much for subscribing! I hope the PDF's and videos will be beneficial to you. They are certainly fun for me to create.
Looks like a lot of $ invested in one spot, keep an eye on this bag and carry some protection. Best protection is a group(safety in numbers), consider some of the responses here are from some of the "people" you'll be meeting when bugging out. Maybe camo the bag with some trashed old coat or something, best not to look so tempting a target.
Thank you for all your effort at the PDF. Damn nice. Great job. I like to organize my bag into some house labels like:
Kitchen, food, water, cooking
Bedroom, shelter, clothes,
Bathroom, hygiene, medical
Garage, communications, tools, weapons, personal compartment.
Living room, Survival pouch, day bag,
This helps me retain how I think of my house and where I would put stuff. Thanks for the awesome PDF. Great Job.
Great selection of items, well thought out. Might want to replace a couple whistles with a gun. Thats just an idea :) Good work tho man!
+Jagger Johnson A really powerful gun or six, along with plenty of extra high capacity mags and lots of extra rounds ( powerful ones ), plus a KA BAR, bayonet, Kershaw Camp 10, military surplus machete, Vietnam Ranger tomahawk, and training in all kinds of weapons so they are second nature, and good at street fighting ( which you already should be if you're a guy that's 17-18 and more. An experienced street fighter with the aggressive mindset of "I'm gonna win" will kick a martial arts guy's ass in 9/10 of real fights ). I'm aware this is an old comment, I thought your's was funny and I had to chime in :) Also, I'd opt for staying hidden, not drawing attention to myself with strobes and whistles, haha
Certain city's make gun ownership difficult
@@cthulhu6697 thats enough flexing for several lifetimes. Urban prepper 's goal are not to star in a zombie film and he's probably not discussion firearms related stuff for good reasons.
Take a chill pill dude.
I have not tried it in the rain yet, but I'm sure I will soon (it's always raining around here). During traveling we normally just stick with cell phone or our dedicated two-way radios. I have am planning on doing a review of the BeoFeng by the summer and I will be sure to include these test topics. I'm glad you have been enjoying my videos. Thanks for the support!
Great vid!
Gotta say, I really appreciate the PDF file download. It's a nice touch that I seldom find on prepping videos. Kudos to you, sir! And please keep up the good tips!
All the apocalyptic bands will be chasing you for this bag :)
@@JohnDavis-im1oy or maybe put it off?
It does. Ever scene during this video took around 10+ takes. It really SUCKED when I had to put everything back in the bag to start over. I have a bloopers video that will be uploaded in one week. It will show some of my filming frustration.
grate kit but maybe a knife or some sort of weapon??? :-)
I don't get mad at any of the comments, even if they are negative.I enjoy making these videos on online, including both the good and the bad. I have thick skin and can handle negativity when it occurs. I'm just having a really good time documenting some of my prepping projects here on RUclips.
My Urban bugout bag is
1) Machete
2) Spear
3) 12 Guage
4) 9MM
I can take someone elses bug-out bag, lol
Yeah if u find a rare bag like dis
You can try. Pretty sure I'd just be thanking your corpse for all the extra gear after.
Ghostlore Your first kill will get yourself killed probably Your not fit to kill Nobody is and if you say that you are your just lying to pretend to look badass
*sigh* no.
Also, it's "you're" not "your".
Lol it's RUclips don't got to be accurate T^T
Goddamn Goody two shoes
Starting over, "one size does not fit all", but one bag can fit more of the scenarios.The biggest omission is self defense for WROL, SHTF, INCH. Then half the weight could be replaced with more dense food and a few key items, like a tomahawk for wood processing and self defense and pepper/bear spray may be a fair choice. To clear the mind, go to the other end, woodsman used to only need a knife & knowledge, and they knew how to make a knife. Guys used to weekend camp with a couple cans of beans, a pocket knife, a wool blanket and probably did some fishing. Know days consider how long you could last with a quart of nuts, crushed ramen, oats, and consider all the uses of olive oil and baking soda. From EastWoodlandSurvival Baking Soda Uses
EMP would kill your electronics even when wrapped in tin foil lol
The batteries are not attached. It will help a little bit. Aluminium foil not tin
Alright lol just don't rely in too much electronics because you just might be surprised.
EMP? I'm not sure I'd worry much about EMP (and I’m assuming thermo nuclear device here), if the TND is close enough for EMP to wipe out your electronics. Chances are the TND will make Bug out all but impossible if not completely unnecessary, due to your having become a crispy critter or if you have been lucky enough to have been spared that fait, that you’ve received enough Radiation to make you glow in the dark.
True, all I was saying was that warping your electronic devices was not necessary because it would change nothing.
Jean-Francois Prince I recently read in a government report on EMP attacks that wrapping electronics in heavy duty foil layers, separated by plastic wrap or bag layers, does help protect the items. A ground is not needed for protection. Search on "Faraday Cages" and read up on the subject. It's quite interesting. Now the big question is how much protection will this method provide. I'd rather have a fighting chance than none at all. Foil and wrap is cheap.
I feel ya on that. All in all I think you're one of the smarter preppers, thanks for the advice.
Stopped listening at "Instant Coffee".
The real question is why would you be sitting around making ANY kind of coffee in a SHTF scenario?
Super organized. Quality materials. Wonderful job!
FIRST OFF WEIGHT . YOUR CARRYING TO MUCH OF THE SAME THINGS!! OTHERS NOT NEEDED. YOU CAN USE A DAM BEER CAN AND PURE ALCOHOL . IT WOULD USE HALF THE SPACE AND WEIGHT OF YOUR COOKING ITEMS!! THINK THE IDEA THROUGH A BIT MORE . IT WOULD BE YOUR LIVE ON THE LINE NOT A VIDEO !!! sorry to have a bit of a rant
I don’t mind the rant, but do you have to yell? ;)
TheUrbanPrepper sorry old army days . but the main thing is always weight . the faster you can move more chance of living . one more thing . find stuff that are easy to make or smaller .
Christopher Ackerman How long ago were you in the army? In the USMC - 120 lbs is packed and tracked over 20 miles. Weight is an issue but 50 lbs is nothing if not standard.
Bushido Monk usmc , okay right . well your talking teamwork tactics . i'm talking on your own . as well for legal reasons . i only served in the rtr2 for three years . the rest i may not speak about , but trust me . you can live with a knife a small compass and few spare mags for a gun . as well a few water cleaning tables . people always think , argh you need this , arghh you need that . all you need is a strong and smart head on your shoulders and the will to live . that all you need .
Yea people never actually use their bags. If you take your gear on a three day or week long hike you begin regretting your junk once you start getting sores on your shoulders. More water and food, less junk.
Hi Cliff, I had a scary night when my CO alarm came alive in the middle of the night. First time I’ve ever called 911 in my Life! Luckily the conclusion was my alarm itself was just old. But it got me googling bug out bag essentials. What a wake up call! I noticed this video is 10 years old. Have you made any updates to this kit you’ve made? Or even a simpler version? I don’t have much extra storage space but I need to figure out some bare essentials so I can get me and my kitty out in an emergency!
In this video, I wonder how long you are planning to be bugged out?
Thank you SO much for this video!! Me and my Father, are currently trying to put together our bug out bags, and this is deffinetly a video we will watch, together, and take notes from. Thank you, for this information, you did a great job!!.. now for part two!! haha
The PDF is available on a free online file storage site, so that's why it has an ad. Perhaps I should upgrade from the free version to the personal to remove the ads. If you click the green download button it should work. Otherwise, send me a PM and I will email you the PDF.
I’m not even fully through yet but man I love how thorough you are.
your video is awesome, you are the only one who is really comprehensive
and thank you for the PDF...i really appreciate your efforts
Seriously love the videos man. Seem to be very practical and relatively inexpensive. Even though I'm in a fairly different climate (central Florida), this is extremely useful information for me and I definitely plan on carrying a lot of the same stuff in my BOB. Thanks again for taking the time to make these.
man....most well organized bug out bag-video clip that I ever seen.
Dude, I've just looked at your BOB PDF and we almost got the SAME layout/setup.
Same bag, same categories, even the same company for the water filtering (I got a Katadyn Vario). But you put some things I never thought, so I'll add a few things to the BOB in the next days! :) Thank you!
Google has a lot of information regarding "bug out". Basically, if there was an emergency (volcanic, flood, earthquake) and you needed to evacuate your location as soon as possible, this is a "bug out". You can bug out to your front lawn, a remote home away from an effected area or to a predetermined bug out location. Camping is recreation. Bug out is emergency.
Your video is excellent! I have downloaded your PDF and plan to use it to help me prepare for emergencies. You are so well organized! Well done sir.
You'v really put a lot of effort in this and you'v got stuff that costs money as well. Whilst personally (just my opinion) I dont agree to coffee, that much gum and a few items that you have too many of I really must congratulate you for having everything as it should be, and so far this is the best bug out video i'v seen on youtube! Thanks for sharing and keep it up mate. First time i'v seen anyone taking the time to put that useful pdf file as well.
The link to the PDF is available in the description section of this video. If you have trouble downloading it, send me a private message with your email address and I will send it your way. Thanks!
I've been watching vids like these for a while. Yours is the best I have EVER seen!!!!!! Wow.
Holy smokes this gets the "most organized" award for bail out bags... #impressed
Your vids rock man..!!! I'm fairly new to this whole EDC prep/urban survival stuff but I must say I really enjoy watching how other people go around putting their kits together. I have to agree that most people that live in the city fall into the trap of carrying kit for the bush/outdoors which makes no sense at all. I must admit I was heading in that direction until I saw your vids, so thanks and keep up the good work..!!!
Are you referring to the SAS survival pouch? The whistle is a VERY small and lightweight item that could be invaluable in an emergency. My Food compartment has lots of food in it.
I've watched so many bug out videos and I finally ran into one that was worth watching I just want to say that your bag is definitely the best thing I've ever seen and hopefully I can get enough money to start my own Rush 72 bug out bag
Fox 40! THANK YOU! Earlier i was telling other less-prepped preppers how amazing they are.
out of all my 114 subs, you still remain at the top of my list
The velcro patches are for RUclips purposes only. I suppose I should add an annotation in the video. :)
this is one of the best videos on B.O.B I have ever scene you have given me so many ideas I was just debating on buying a new bag and you just made up my mind thankyou
There is a MAJOR problem with your aluminum foil. You need to wrap a non-conductive material around your devices BEFORE you wrap the aluminum foil-If ANY metal part is touching ANY of the foil, the EMP will travel right into your device---FRYING IT!
Your heart is in the right place, and I applaud you for the knowledge you do have!
Great vid! One thing I've always thought about is that people who are serious about prepping should maybe consider giving up coffee or cutting back severely. In a SHTF scenario your coffee supply could run out pretty quickly, then you'd be left with caffeine withdrawals: headache, depression, fatigue, irritability, difficulty focusing, chills or hot spells, etc. Granted, many people don't drink enough for it to be an issue, but if you're the type of person who can't make it 10 minutes without your morning cup you might want to consider cutting back. Thoughts?
SUPREME video. Thanks for all of your attention to detail, as well as the PDFs! God Bless!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching.
When you mentioned about the EMP, it made me think.
Wrapping your electronics in foil isn't going to do squat. What you need to do is put the electronic item into a plastic bag, wrap it in foil, then in another bag.
The rule of thumb for making any kind of Faraday Cage is simple. If your items are touching the sides of the metal casing, they are toast.
For example. Take an ammo can, line it with cardboard, seal it, wrap in foil then clingfilm for maximum security. It is that principal you want.
Hey UP,
I really appreciate the effort that has gone into making this video.
The PDF-document in the video description is also highly appreciated.
Still, 20.9 kg is too much for me to carry around for an extended amount of time. Too much risk for unwanted immobilization.
The choice of the backpack seems great. I'll keep it a bit lighter when I get to ordering one.

This is definitely one of the best bags/videos we've seen. We just made our own clip and were surprised to see how much overlap there was! Ultimate Bug Out Bag by Lauren Marin and Hydraulx Survival
Great bag. I like the list the most though and the rational behind the bag. Me I am a city dweller. Put me in the woods and unless someone finds me i'm likely going to be dead in short order. However what I really like is that you could really cut the bag back and still have it effective in most situations for a short term bag. This allows for cheap fast assembly of the core items with the additional supplies able to be added over time to make it more useful for specific regional threats.
The one thing I would comment on is! That I would have my rain coat in a outside or top pocket so if it rains it is THE FIRST THING I CAN GRAB!! ( not in the clothes bag that is in the middle of the bag) (That would get wet when I went digging for it in the middle of a rain storm)
Plus with it at the top it helps keep the rain out of the top of the bag if I left it at camp when I was out scouting for supplies.
LOL! Thanks. My BOB is pretty organized, but my sock drawer is a complete mess! I may need to invest in some more Eagle Creek storage bags... :)
Really like the detail and clarity of your videos. Patient yet expedient. Looked at the pdf and that is so very helpful. You are an awesome bro.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
