Yes, carry that kit EXACTLY as they built it. Then they, and we, can see how well they really did!
Copy that- vote counted!
@@FueltheFires🐓 earned you a follo!! 😂
@@AndysTechGarageWelcome to the tribe!
I would definitely add a headlamp with red-light capability and food procurement like a fishing kit .
Red lamp is a great idea and I had the food procurement as part of the edc portion- I use the adventure kit by Wazoo stored in their cache belt 👍🏻
If I could only have one flashlight, it would be my Streamlight Sidewinder. Don't know if they still make it. Very useful, multi function and can be used as headlamp.
Yes.! Fishing Kit.
I have a headlamps with red and blue light. Whats the reason for the red light?
@@xboxsolox The red light doesn't mess up your eyes' natural night-vision ; after using white light it takes 25 to 30 minutes to re-adjust to seeing well in the dark . Your blue light is handy for first-aid , it makes blood stand-out in the dark .
Always find it funny when people say they dont pack food because they can go 2 or 3 days without eating. Just because you can handle some discomfort why intentionally put yourself there. I can handle a punch in the face doesnt mean im gonna intentionally get hit everyday
It’s more of the idea of conserving space.. I typically carry items like jerky or trail mix and graze on the run instead of stopping for meals.. I also stack electrolytes as well.. The body certainly needs calories and I should have communicated that better.. Thanks for pointing that out!
I pack at least two meals - one freeze dried and one self heating that is ready to eat. This second one will be the first that gets eaten (and its something I know that will taste good).
I don't need to carry or find the extra clean water, don't need to boil water for the food, when speed is more important (you can even pee in the heating pouch to get it started and heat the ration while being on the move).
And it helps to adapt easier to an already stressful situation, the little extra weight doesnt make a difference when one is still fit. And in cold weather the warm heating pouch from the ration is a welcome benefit.
That rooster was trying to tell you he could put together a better bag..!!! 😂
😂
Or he 🐓 does NOT want to be dinner! 🍗
“Hardest things to create in nature” I have been saying that forever, finally someone else agrees! I always have a drill bit and fish hooks for that very reason
Right on 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
What's the drill bit for?
Drill bit👍👍
How do you drive the drill bit for drilling holes?
There's a few options. One is a bit and brace, one is a crank-style hand drill, and another is bits with a big square shank. The last one, there's a handle which has a square socket; it ends up looking sort of like a corkscrew (T-shape). There's also the Scotch Eye Augur, and Augur Gimlets. Don't ask me which is best or how to use. Sad to say, all my drills run on electricity. @@ManInTheWoods76
I'm homeless so I live it everyday.
This is my loadout:
Fiskars pruning saw with sheath, BPS Adventurer knife, DMT Duo-fold diamond stone, Leatherman wave, flexcut carving knife, small DIY strop and compound.
Camo poncho, (2) 8x10 dark brown tarps, assorted garbage bags, Gortex military bivy. sleeping pad, mosquito net cot size, small inflatable camp pillow, REI 20 quilt, assorted cordage. I'm a string and cordage whore, old blinds, road tape, bailing string, what ever I can get my hands on.
Wood gasifier stove (large), small non stick fry pan and pot, Ozark spoon x4, dollar store cook utensils, powder pool chlorine, seasonings, scrubber and small bottle dawn soap, I make ghee once a week to cook with and carry some olive oil. Baking soda is a must. I also carry a very large aluminum stock pot for mainly heating water, weighs very little. I also fashioned a bail for it.
Cold steel shovel, DIY arrow heads x30, small gig, gill net (well hidden), Kevlar line for snaring, don't want to loose the big ones, tons of fishing stuff (main food supply) and small game, large metal rat traps x6 (work great for fish in emergency only).
Small binos, basic lock pick set, sill cock wrench, zip ties, duct tape and super glue, scissors, assorted hack saw blades, multi wood file, chain saw file, 1/4 ratchet with driver bits, leather gloves.
60 watt folding solar panel with a large Anker external battery, headlamp that includes red, cheap agm thermal scope and cheap digital night vision. I only get items that are rechargeable and prefer 18650. The lithium poly never last over time.
Medic stapler, Ibuprophen, burn cream, aloe, antibiotic cream, cloth band aids, sticky cling wrap tape, eye drops, tweezers, large sewing repair kit, rechargeable beard trimmer, butt washer that screws onto water bottle, tooth brush.
I use 2 medium non military looking packs on my bike or sometimes use my jogging stroller. To old to carry much weight anymore. Nothing about you should ever stand out to police, military, thugs or even the neo norms. Stay clean and have 2 sets of clothes, one for camp and the others for town. Have a couple hundred dollars all smaller bills spread across different pockets. Have small wired ear buds radio, ball cap and sunglasses. Have some deaf cards to hand Leo's, they will just wave you on or act very sick coughing and blowing your nose uncovered.
Ditch your habits now or life is really gonna suck for a while and even have you making bad or desperate decisions, not only in judgement but also in bad trades. I carry a couple bags of tobacco and papers to sell cigs and don't even smoke, coffee is just as bad.
Lastly is some foam rubber sheets or shag carpet to tie onto your shoes to come and go to camp. Also sit down for 20 minutes or so before entering camp and when leaving camp, saved my butt more than once. Also consider a small dog and train it like your life depends on it, especially to growl and not bark. Don't anything that eats more than me. Plus there are times when being able to hoist or carry it is must.
Too much, there is so much more...
Thanks for the vids!
I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience here.. I wish the best for you and we certainly appreciate you watching and offering your wisdom here in the comments- GODSPEED 🔥
I lived out of a backpack for 6 weeks never used any of that stuff. Food is free for the asking from the Food bank, via Food stamps, the SA mission, churches. anyone who's waf can get pell grants and college loans, online classes, if there's no college near you. you'd need a truck to haul all of that stuff and a lot of it will get you locked-up in a lot of cities.
@@user-ci2mn1oy3w The video was about a bugout bag and anyone's thoughts on changes. It was not on how to get on the dole. If something happened so bad that one had to bugout, I doubt any of those services would be available.
My items are refined from years of living in the Alaskan bush and now the high desert. I avoid cities as much as possible.
Why don't you share the items you had in your pack and how you made it the 6 weeks...
Also how long could you make it on the only the items you carried without services?
I'm not knocking what you did, just don't see the correlation of having to bugout in a hostile situation manmade or natural.
The video presented had a pretty ominous cover pic of societal collapse. Help others learn from your situation and be part of the solution.
@luckylarry5112 I mean no disrespect, but did you choose to become homeless? I ask because you have good quality equipment and several hundred dollars spread out over several places. It doesn't sound like the typical situation for an unhoused person. I hope this question finds you well and may you stay safe and healthy.
@@Rob_F8F I'm homeless by choice for 3 years now. After my wife passed, I lost it for about 6 months and just wandered about. I could not afford a place on SSI, also I'm way to busted up at 68 to do any physical work. Currently I get SSI (not much) and clean exterior house windows for cash, I also do an odd job sometimes. I came up with a plan, since being homeless I have very low overhead so I decided to remain homeless and save to buy a small piece of property outright. In another year I will have enough. I stay the hell away from other homeless people, they will and have stolen everything I had.
I spend my weekends in town and BLM or NF during they week. If you met me on the street you would have no idea.
3 weeks ago, I had my window cleaning ladder fold under me and really got hurt. So now I'm watching over a ranches cows while he leaves for a few months. This means I have a semi permanent camp and a very small salary. but it will provide me a place to heal up.
I guess it's maybe more like being unhoused rather than the stereo typical homeless. But my life has sort of always been like that. In Alaska I gold mined for years during the summer and trapped during the winter. this meant living in tons of different shacks and cabins I built. this also meant no retirement but I really lived and would not have done anything different.
TOO to tell here. You can email me at:

Thanks Larry
One of the biggest problems with a Bugout Bag ive seen ( took me a few years to get my gear sighted in ) is that there are many tempting "gadgets" lol ...Had to strip many myself and am pretty happy with what i have now...great video...100% right on barter items a couple packs of smokes or flask of whiskey, couple $20 bills could get you a ride or some food real quick
I be knowin’ lol.. Lot of “gadgets” to be had out there- some good, some bad and definitely some ugly.. Takes a minute to get sorted out for sure.. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
@FueltheFires Bro the Gadgets seem so useful at the time ! Lol I had a small outdoors store in little gadgets in every pocket of my pack, now my pack looks similar to the one in the video, no nonsense, but i did add a few barters items and when possible atleast $100 in cash, only wear a Gshock Rangeman but if I had to trade it for a ride or a decent meal I would, Great videos greatly enjoy the no nonsense approach !
Candles are pretty handy. Good call!
Yes they be!
Beeswax super multipurpose great for first aid also like little wounds!!✊️🔥✌️💚
BOB 4 SHTF - We believe the pack is much to heavy on a long distance trek, after an hour a 20lbs pack feels like 200lbs. There are items that can be discarded. There are also items that should be replace with multi functional application, it doesn't have to be better but just light weight. Dry bags are compulsory in a SHTF scenario & also how you pack the backpack. Our 10yr old grandson will walk an extra mile if that backpack on his back "full of headless roosters" feels comfortable while he wanders towards the frontier. Yes JJ, we are the parents of your little groupie whom are on a 3 day camping trek in the Pinnacles, it's up on the northern coastline of WA. Thank you for what you do, they love & learn from your shows & Jason's too among others. We taught our girls as much as we can, now it's time for them to learn from the expert and put what they learned into practice. Now back to the BOB 4 SHTF. Planning ahead would be the ideal way in strategy. Having cache in between point A & point B even point C if necessary, especially if you get roosters expressing themselves unnecessarily. Team work is a must when there's a few participants, why carry 3 items when one or two is sufficient to cater for the group. We the viewers does not know nor familiar with your surrounding so we just leave the choosing to you & we just learn from it. Fair call.? No weapons allowed in Australia so our girls carry a defensive, fighting & throwing sticks or two hunting boomerangs, something they learned from their grandparents. They learned hand combat since eleven years old now accomplished martial artists. We feel that we have taught & shown our girls as much as possible to prepare them for "what may come" and watching you & Jason definitely top it up for them to accomplishment. Thank you mate.! So you wish to know more about Drop Bears? Stay tune to the next Fuel the Fires. We let the girls explain that to you. Stay safe cobber, looking forward to that survival vid of you & Jason. Be true. Be aware. Be yourself.
I love the way y’all have raised y’all’s family.. Every video I look forward to reading what y’all have to say.. Means a lot to me to have y’all follow the channel and post comments that are worth reading! Some day I would love to come over there and hang out with your family.. I think it would be an amazing trip and one not to forget.. Thank you so much for all the support, kind words and wisdom to boot! 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
20lb is 100% ok. IF you are bugging out, you DO need some stuff.
@@jacobpetersen5662 Agreed.
Like you said, this kit augments your EDC. 👍
Your class did a really good job btw❤️
Aside from my heavy EDC defense carry, the following is with me always, in a tiny man-pouch, even in the city:
2 small flashlights w extra Batts
Gerber arm bar trade (bit driver, saw, awl, small blade)
1 kevlar bootlace
6x1/2 ferro w duct tape
Fatwood
Bit set for Gerber
Dental floss
Paper clips to make lock pick tools
Leatherman pliers
Toenail clippers
Sharpener
Signal mirror
Fresnel lens
Needles and threads
Can opener
2 button compasses
1 Bic
2 triple antibiotic sleeves
2 pair SAK tweezers
That's my 2 cents from being a mountain guy since childhood❤
Experience is key yo 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Best part was at 5:50 when he told me I have special needs-definitely true!
Everyone just needs to build a bug out bag to their liking 👍 every one is different even on gear
The Rooster seconded that emotion ❤
😂 That he did
Lots of commercial plugs here, I hope they are compensating you! The BOB seems alright, but it would be helpful to specify what your/their EDC exactly is. For example, does the EDC include a weather resistant coat or a firearm already! Lighters and candles IMHO are the best trade items! My choice for a firearm is a revolver for my EDC and a Ruger 10/22 takedown for the BOB with only 36 rounds for the pistol and 500 rounds for the rifle, including 20 (.22LR) shot shells! I live in an arid climate so I carry at least three quarts of water with the BOB and one quart canteen with cup, stove and lid in the EDC container, a fanny pack! I like millennium bars mainly because of the five-year shelf life and 400+ calories per bar. Tea light candles make great fire starters and if you melt the wax (in the alum. cup) and add half of a cotton ball with a bit pinched up to act as a wick, they will give you a three inch flame for 30+ minutes, and they are real cheap! Call me a wimp, but I prefer a small tent for shelter! Good video, thank you!
What's up man!? "Inversely proportionate " whoa! Big words ! Impressive! Haha! Man, outstanding information!
almost always, you 'll need your cover element. The extra clothing (spare socks, boxers, t-shirt, gloves, shemagh, bivy, hammock, canopy/envelope. I mean daily expectations. balaclava, too, along with the bugnet suits, camo nets, the other drum liner, the PEVA oval, You MIGHT need the axe, saw, etc, but you'd better not, cause you'd better not have a fire, nor show a normal light, nor need to cook during a bugout. Take non-cook food. I use jerky, powdered milk, granola, Kool-Aid, nut butters, salad dressing (no eggs) jelly, flour tortillas. Keep it under 30 lbs total, unless you train with it and/or are VERY fit. if it's heavier, put it on a mountain bicycle and walk beside it, or it'll cause you some sort of injury that ruins you.
These are words of wisdom 👍🏻
I would have to say that a BOB is dependent upon your AO, someone who is in a rural environment would have slightly different needs than someone who is in an urban environment, then there's the folks who are in a combination of the two. With that said, the things missing from that bag are maps of your AO, a notepad, and a dependable writing utensil.
Agreed 👍🏻
His face said im making chicken soup when i get home 😂
I had no idea about the Ranger Bands. That is neat, I am going to order some online asap. I myself made a pack with about the same of this video contents. The one thing I added is a mini molly webbed zipper pack. It is about 6 inches in height, 3 inches depth and 4 inches wide. It has two zippered compartments. One compartment I put a extra set(s) of fire kit. Includes, mini lighter, ferro rod, at plastic baggy with cotton balls in vaseline, water proof matches. The other zippered compartment is a power bank multi type cords, usb-a, usb-c type, lightning for apple, a dual usb power plug in brick and a mini flash light that can be recharged. THEN, I have a water proof bag that I put the entire pack inside it so it is never damaged by the weather. I always do check out everything every 6 months for the battery and cords though.
Definitely use the kit,ide like to see it in action,then decide what else was or wasn't needed,plus ide really like to see the cloak in action!👌😁
Roger that- vote counted!
10mm with some hardcast loads penetrate over 64" in calibrated gel -- and surprisingly, so does 9mm hardcast. Both these rounds exhibit deeper penetration than .40 or .45 hardcast and with the appropriate ammunition, will absolutely punch a hole in something important on anything walking the planet as long as you do your part, and I bet your splits are faster with the 9mm! Carry what you're comfortable with, but I wouldn't feel undergunned with 9mm and appropriate ammunition if that's what I've had the most trigger time behind.
You’re right and it all comes down to the shooter in the end- not to mention a little luck!
They did a great job but if it was SHTF, I'm going to carry a carbine and would have some extra ammo for both the rifle and handgun. Not a lot but some. Don't let Jason freeze to death on your trip. He tends to go too light.
People argue about not having a rifle but I have to agree with you there.. I don’t plan on using it but if you needed to……….. I will definitely tell Jason 👍🏻
I carry a drybag as a bag liner, big enough to put the bag inside. Drybags are essential in wet regions.
I would add a dump bag, side pocket or haversac for gathering, collecting etc, also for scouting kit.
The main bag can be excessively heavy, as can organiser bags.
Nail clippers, extra extra socks.
In case of cold immerssion, you need fire quickly and you have no fine motor control. A supermatch can start a fire and burn long enough all in one.
Protection from cold and wet is the priority this time of year.
These are all solid points and I agree completely 👊🏻
A road flare is a sure-fire fire starter!
Quick heat yes!!! Fire this I utilize my poncho plus the uco candle and wax cotton tabs. Can restore my body heat fast and directly
I would have Sustainment items in the bag. My personal go to in my EDC bag and Go bags is Endurance Sustainment Co Basic Sustainment Kit and their Micro Sustainment Kit. This covers oral Rehydration Solution, blisters, burns, cuts, and OTC meds in a tiny package. These have came in handy more times than I can count and for around $20 they're worth every penny be it urban or rural.
Being in an Urban AO I carry a 4 way key for unlocking water sources like hose bibs on buildings and turning them on. Also a 2nd 4 way attached that opens certain things I might want to use to hid out for a night.
I personally think in an Urban AO lockpicks and combs, shove knife and bypass tools could be critical to getting out of a bad situation. If you know a building is vacant or abandoned but locked. You have an option to open and relock once inside. Micro cutters like Kinpex mini bolt cutters will make opening a fence fast. During wild fires we saw winds shift and people needing to get off highway. One guy with an angle grinder saved dozens of lives cutting the fence open so SUV and trucks could get out of the fire path.
Barter I personally will stay away from ammo to unknown person's. I don't need to resupply a threat who now shoots me with my own ammo.
Depending on your AO you should consider cigarettes not only for Barter but for striking up a conversation with someone who could be outside somewhere or even someone who's homeless. Give a cig and talk. This where a smoke can get loads of info about threats, current movements of groups be it rioters, cops locking down an area or just what things someone saw.
Granola or RX bars are good calorie dense foods. Same with retort tuna or other meats. This is a barter item as well. Much like a cigarette.
I would almost always lean towards a water filter that can make sure I'm able to dunk a container and move. Watering holes are targets in nature for predators and will be in SHTF. This is why I avoid LifeStraws and those type filters. I don't want to get face down on a puddle to drink. A pump or gravity system is my personal choice. Tablets as well as a backup. Water is life.
I would like to have a jacket that is warm, deep pockets and looks like it's weathered. I want to look like I've been out for a while, homeless or transient. Most people won't expect you to be armed or want to engage with someone who may have needles on them. Wearing earth tones vs camo in my area allows me to blend in and still be camouflaged once entering wooded areas. The "homeless" jacket can be rolled up in the bag and a flannel and hat can be put on.
As for other things like socks. I use Darn Tough Merino Wool socks. 2 pairs in the bag and 1 pair I'm wearing. One to wear, one you washed and hang off the bag and one to change into. A pair of boxer briefs, this is where the Endurance Sustainment Co Kits come in handy. Anti-chaffing packet to get ahead of "nut rub" or wipe down your body when changing. Earth tones in those things hanging on your bag or camp as well.
Lastly just based on my AO and ideally I'm not moving alone but if I am. I keep a Ramset 22/blank perimeter alarm with screws, zipties and other supplies to reload the system, attach and Kevlar cord to rig the trip alarm. This will allow me to setup a perimeter for a few hours of sleep while making sure anyone walking through will be heard and probably scare the crap out of them if a 22 blank is going off out of nowhere. This allows rapid egress if needed from that location and if the alarm needs to be left behind, it did its job..
As for medical supplies making sure you have the supplies for TQ conversion. Are you able to convert from TQ to pressure bandage with items on hand. I can say from experience wearing a TQ on your thigh with an unknown impact GSW (did it hit femur or not) and having to move is PAINFUL. VERY PAINFUL and I've had 1000s applied in training, no pain. Immediately when the limb starts to swell you're in a world of pain. If left on too long and you don't have the methods to deal with acidosis at your final location, you're in a bad way when the TQ is removed. Being able to convert saves these issues if things work how we want.
I personally think you should use a pocket trauma kit with gauze, chest seals, pressure bandage and mini shears on body, TQ on belt (Phlster Flatpack TQ carrier with SOF-T is my primary, CAT and SOF-T in bags) Med should be IMMEDIATE access. If you need to run to cover wounded you want your medical on body in case your bag is lost. Same with water tabs, roll up platypus bottle 2 liter and Bic all on body. Along with firearm and knife of course.
Choose this kit! Really well done! Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching- vote counted!
In the bag? The rooster for sure!
😂
I would add gloves. I never not have cut resistant gloves at a minimum.
A good pair of gloves is a must in my book 👍🏻
one thing the pack is missing in my opinion is pain relief medicine,a fold-able shovel,some way to repair your items like duct tape or glue, oil lubrication to help prevent rust,soap to keep clean, nail clippers since your in winter soft bite mouth guard, chap lip balm,chap hand cream moisturizer,sun screen,anti chafing powder
I would maybe add that mms bivy you got and go with it. I do understand the weight issue but hey it’s a thought and don’t forget y’all’s comms
I love my bivy for sure.. Comms are super important in my book 👍🏻
Love the kit however I would swap the cz for a glock 20 with atleat 5mags, a 9mm conversion barrel with additional 3mags and small parts kit with ample ammo. I make this choice because it offers the most versatility. You can run 10mm,40cal and 9mm when needed and glock parts and mags will more likely be found.
I prefer my 20 for sure.. Good idea on the swaps as well
i carry Wool blanket, cooking pot small and a cup, fishing rod and some lures, tarps, tent or hammock, fire start kit, a e-tool, and medical kit. im still changing bases on news and situation and my skills.
im a heavy weight holder being trained in heavy weight rucking thanks to the army
lil brother is smaller, so he carries light gear but can carry my bag if needed
my marine friend is smaller but carries food and extra gear
we all carry a gun just in case
I think it would be generous to see how well they did. But Id also like to see what you would do differently.
My immediate thought was area specific I've noticed a hatchet is very essential to my pack but the reason being for that is in my area there's not many small dead trees and I like my wood to burn efficiently as well it helps with creating kindling in areas where it may be harder to gather
That’s definitely very important- knowing your environment 👍🏻
I think you should absolutely carry that kit and then let us know if there were any weaknesses or upgrades you would make. Great video!
Thanks for the video! I think you should bring that rooster with you on your next challenge 😂. Joking aside, what if you and Jason packed each others kits using the same method you had your students use? That’s a good way to train out of your comfort zone using items you might not normally use. Thanks again for making great content. Appreciate you!
Pretty easy to make a spit 😂.. That’s a pretty cool idea- I’ll mention it to him. You’re welcome and thanks for watching and for the kind words 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Shoot the rooster first.
I spent time as a Wilderness Ranger in Eastern Oregon for the US Forest Service in the late 70's. I could carry a fairly heavy pack back then but I always tried to come up with as little weight or stuff as possible. When you're out for a couple weeks then back to base for a few days you get to evaluate what you can do with out. Water in GI center with canteen cup with lid, knife, ect. Are a necessity Are important but I found that at the end of a long daily trek I didn't always want a hot meal. I started carrying dried fruit, jerky, oatmeal bars. If I wanted hot food a small fire for long enough time time to boil freeze dried veggies with jerky or a small handful of oatmeal with some Huckleberry or wild strawberries in season.
Shelter would be under a fir tree or my old GI poncho. Wool socks with a couple spares. I contracted what I think was Giardia so water filtration and or treatment tabs are absolutely necessary. Giardia works better than Exlax. I learned that I could do without lots of stuff with no problem.
I think your students did a really good job.
Agreed.. Like your methodology there.. I think they did a pretty decent job considering.. Thanks for watching 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Interesting kit. Carry it and see how it works out
Roger that- vote counted!
Definitely would like to see this kit in action. I'd add a headlamp for hands free use. Other than that, i like what i see.
Roger that- vote counted! The Streamlight can be used hands free by placing it by the ear in the hat 👍🏻
Well done!!! I would have gone with the poncho for shelter/cover. The only thing I would have added is a knife sharpener,duct tape, and a first aid kit for my kids. Definitely try the kit.👍🏼💯
Thanks! I usually carry my poncho as well.. The knife sharpener is my Viking Spark by Wazoo (goes around my neck).. The duct tape is Gorilla tape that’s on the Bic Lighter and around my ferro rod- between the two it’s enough.. I appreciate you watching and vote counted for the kit 👊🏻
Maybe you can add some water proof fire starters. Like cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly. There's a thing called diy fire bombs. Aluminum foil with soaked cotton balls. Easy fire starter. I have 2 in my wallet that I walk around with. Plus my bracket is made of Paracord. It has a built-in ferro rod(3/4 in) and a whistle. Oh it also has a sharp sticker for the ferro rod (that you also can use for self defense). A small compost as well.. I got it off of Amazon. It's great!!!
Right on.. As part of my edc I carry two of the Wazoo fire plugs in my cache belt and the Wazoo fire card in my wallet.. I believe in having synthetic tinder and fire extenders for sure.. Thanks for posting this 👍🏻
Would you mind posting the name of the bracket you bought on Amazon?
I think you should allow yourself to remove ONE item of your choice and put ONE other item in there... Instructor privilege❤️
I like it!
Yes I think you should test that kit as is

Bug repellent. Mole skin. Socks should be smart wool. Underwear should be high tech not cotton. Alcohol wipes for 1st aid and fire starting. Fan of individually wrapped wipes. Cheap and available at Walmart. A lot better than toilet paper.
All very good points!
Great for an all-out SHTF scenario. I'd like to see a more statistically probable bug out/get out bag (wildfires, Hurricanes, Blizzards, Earthquakes, etc...)
Agreed 100%!!!
Yes, run this whole kit in the challenger.
It'll be good for those that chose it to see how well it fares...
Thank you for the video.
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
No hunting, No fishing, No Basher, No mess tins, No sleeping bag..... My Bug out bag is 3st and i have stuck to the rule of 3 for most of the contents which means that i have everything i need for any situation that is thrown at me.... Also you can not have enough Para cord......
even if it IS just an evac from a fire, flood, quake, etc , you still need a pistol and if it's shtf, you need 20 lbs of armor, rifle, ammo, helmet, night vision, batteries, solar charger, silencer, scope, and 10 lbs of food and water.
That leaves VERY little space or weight for all of the other stuff that you 'think" is so "essential". Well, the great majority of it needs to be cached at your BOL. If shtf, the roads will be full of ambushes. All it takes is some 1" boards or sticks and 3" nails and you wont be going anywhere on 4 flat tires. The looters will easily catch you. You wont see those "stop-sticks" from more than 100m away and around corners, in dips, etc, you wont see them from 50 FEET. If they know anything, they'll be in foxholes, 100m on either side of the stop sticks. That will let them put a LOT of bullets into your car and you probably wont survive it.
So your BOL needs to be where you can walk to it in 1-2 nights. That means in the woods around your local water source. Scatter bury a year's supply of food in that area and have a spiderhole or 3 there, too. If shtf, get into the hole and expand it into a 10m long tunnel, a spiderhole at the other end, too. Stay in it for a year, while the 99% die-off. Come out only at night, only for an hour and you'll be 10x as likely to survive that first year. than those who stay above-grounnd.
After that first year, you can have a stealth garden, tended at night and go scrounge whatever else you need. the Viet Cong lived in tunnels for 30 years, so even US wusses should be able to handle a mere one year. You wont have 500 lb bombs being dropped on you, like they did, So you wont have to be 30 ft down. One foot of over-burden will suffice for your tunnel
But could you survive it you didn’t have all of that? Hmmmmm. How would you make it without an armory on your back?
@@vada27 you're talking about carrying twice as much stuff as my BOB has in it. Nobody's going to survive just walking off into the woods. There's 100 million dogs and cats in the US. The fish and game will be gone in a month or so, along with all of the stored food. People will be dead or cannibals by day 90. there's just not enough food for anything else to be the case.
@@user-ci2mn1oy3w there are plenty of resources for the educated individual. Some take work, others are just waiting.
Sounds like a good exercise.
Thank you.. I enjoy watching the students put it together as they discuss possibilities and how they compromise..
I would have fire starting ability, EXOTAC XL firesteel with its hollow handle filled with fire tinder and a Leatherman Wave on my person and a separate fire kit, with more than one way to start a fire, in the pack. Also have a pack tall enough to store a small axe 🪓 inside, not to attract attention. I like the folding saw recommendation, not everyone needs a Katanaboy.
Great kit! A 5.7 allows 20 round mags, same muzzle energy as a 9mm, less recoil, more rounds per pound. My preferred EDC these days.
Pack enough that you won't need resupply, it's not common. Or make sure your holster is universal and can accept any full size👍
@@ManInTheWoods76 yes, good thoughts. I also have a 9mm carbine takedown.
Give that 🐓 a treat!! ❤❤
Who makes the anorak your wearing.
Thanks
It’s a Pilgrim’s Anorak by Helikon Tex 👍🏻
Survival is all about instinct, knowledge, opportunity, and gear... in the exact order...
and is a procedure... it evolves... nothing fixed about it... the instinct is the first to kick in, the knowledge/training follows, and luck/opportunity is vital... you may end up carrying only your EDC, or not even that... you may end up with the keys to a bunker... we have zero experience of a SHTF... we can only guess! and just like the knives, the best gear is what you have in hand until you get something better... so there are no wrong choices here!
Beautifully explained brother- I Honey Smack Dig it 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
While there isnt a one size fits all perfect bag, there are plenty of perfect bags out there tailored to the individual that assembled it. If you do not have a perfect bag then you haven’t thought it through well enough. It does take time, testing and trial.
Funny because you kept glitching and repeating yourself thanks to that rooster. Try their kit.
Roger that- vote counted!
Yo! Finally got you back after the atmospheric river 😊
CZ p10F is my home defense handgun
It’s a good weapon 👊🏻
I keep picturing that rooster being in the cook pot soon.
😂
Good Evening ! TAKE CARE..
My issue as a husband and father is wanting my family to be more comfortable than I would want myself to be.
I resemble this remark.. I think that’s just part of being a good husband/father 👍🏻
Then they'll moan at you for not keeping up with them due to lack of sleep lol.
@@FueltheFires absolutely brother. Just hard to not pack that extra “gear” for them lol
Run the kit as-is to really find out what works vs what doesnt
Roger that- vote counted 👍🏻
Yes carry the kit as is 👊🔥👊
Vote counted! 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
one thing people need to understand about survival situations...coffee is a diuretic. It causes you to pee, which could lead to dehydration. Leave coffee out of your survival bag and go with flavor packets instead. Then you can flavor your water but not be peeing constantly.
Your bug out bag will definitely be a lot heavier here in Alaska a lot of people don’t know what winner is we had a week of 40 below
I know what to do in -40. Stay home and throw 2 extra logs on the fire.
🥶🥶
Hmmm, great question! To be honest, I think your watch, your knife and your banana hammock.... well, nevermindthe last one! A little tmi on that one! Haha! I'm excited to see you in a survival challenge! Jason is a bonus! I can't wait!
You wouldn’t hear a pip out of him, if I were talking. He’d be too scared because he already knows what time it is. 🤣🤣🤣
My poor roosters need more ladies!!! 😂 Great video. Not sure about running that since yours is perfect for YOU. ❤
I hear ya love 🔥❤️🔥
Use the kit as is, would be interesting to see how well they did with the kit.
Copy that- vote counted!
I would love to see how that kit works out for you. Try it!
Roger that- vote counted!
A SMALL AXE OR HATCH TO SPIT WOOD WITH, OR USE IT AS A HAMER, OR A DEFENSE TOOL.
28lbs in the west coast, winter is impossible. Youll be 6 or 7 lbs for a sleeping bag that will keep you alibe, about 5 lbs for the pack itself, a pistol w/1 mag is about 2 pounds. And you still havent touched food, rain gear, signaling, water procurement, fire, your compass or direction gear, a knife will be close to a pound on its own.
80% of people live in a city or high populated suburb. There will be no bugging out. Unless you have a connect on the inside that tell you to get out before it happens not going anywhere. Roads will be blocked and military will have borders on lock down of every state in less than 72 hours from the start. Good luck to everyone.
This is true- strategic avoidance will be key with grey man in mind in those environments..
I would have a fishing kit
Great video brother. It was a pretty put together kit. But I would have to give up the spoon, creamer, and sugar. For a map. If I didn't know the area. Or maybe the the candel for a GPS. Also I would keep the rooster. It could be worse you could have guineas. 😂😂.
If the rooster fits in the bag, it's dinner! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Do you think ever clear is worth putting in the bag? I know liquid is heavy but it has so many uses and would be worth alot to some people
No, dump the food and go with a map and replace the cloak with a basic poncho or a tarp, get rid of the Grail and get a smaller sawyer squeeze and then take the challenge
yes carry the kit i want see how well you do with it
To fix the weight issue I bought a Rhino Garden cart. That way I can carry more.
I just stole a shopping cart from the local Safeway
Did you make that leather bottle holder for your grayl geopress or did you buy it?
perhaps you could add a small binocular
I agree- a monocular would be very handy
I think keep the same contents, but go ahead and use the dry bag storage space as you think it should be used.
Roger that- vote counted!
'gimme a second. I gotta go snuff The Rooster...!'
yeaAAAHHHH...!!!
That rooster stole the video.
😂
What is the brand/make of the Solo Stove please? Thank you! Great clip!
It’s the Solo Stove “Lite” 👍🏻
@@FueltheFires Thank you very much
Exotac ripspool
I would say a Map, having a compass is good but without a map how do you know where u going or what POI u wanna reach?
I love a loadout video. All good bits of kit within that one.
Enjoyed this!
By the way, JJ. I’m on my way across the pond to you now to kill that rooster for you 🤣
P.S. May I ask what HPG pack that was?
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.. Screw that rooster! 😂… The HP bag is an older model Aston House V2 👍🏻
What bottle holder and nesting cup is that?
Gloves Headlamp hamradio Compas and a map and the rest maybe a wool base layer
Solid choices 👍🏻
Do you run the course over the net
I think people carry too much stuff, guess they pack their fears. While you are walking the only things you will use is Compass (always set bezel direction BEFORE heading out or off trail), water (+filter), food, hygiene (TP or Wipes/Hand sanitizer), insulation (jacket/gloves) & rain protection. At night you need shelter and more insulation. No one is going to construct a home if they brought a tarp for shelter.
Shhhhesh. I need to gain 50lbs before I need to bug out! Bulk time baby!😂
Recently , i bought 20lb vest (10%) to practice. Its heavy, i cant last more than an hr. I have to reconsider what to put in my bag.
Keep going- you’re doing well.. It takes time to build up to it if you’re not used to it.. Good job 👍🏻
Did you eat chicken after making this video?? Great training video.
I seriously had fried chicken on the brain 😂.. Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Iron Eagle sound track One Vision from queen give it a listen. FRIED CHICKEN!
Swap that cloak for mss bivvy and poncho and I prefer a kukhri only everything else👍
If I only had one tool- Kukri all day long 🔥
@@FueltheFires you got it👌
My bag is so much heavier. It's actually my I.N.C.H bag so I tried to pack with as much as I could.
Headlamp and a paperback.
My EDC bag will become my bug out bag when I add some things to it I keep in my car. I would most likely be traveling through a permissive environment. I just really like this one because it holds everything I would need and it’s comfortable. It’s red tho. Should I consider a different color bag?
In an SHTF environment, there may not be permissive environments.
Grey man is all about blending into your environment.. If people use red bags in your area- you blend.. If not, you might consider a different color.. What’s more important is not having something that looks like a military bag.. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
The bag in the video would stick out like a sore thumb 😂😂
