Try to knock it down to 16lbs without food. Or you will burn too many calories carrying the bag to travel long distances and end up ditching things along the way. My housemate hikes the Appalachian Trail 8-10 weeks a year and weighs things down to grams, even got some fancy custom bag made of like ultra-lightweight parachute material or something. I think he said he puts in 18+ miles a day, could be more, I don't remember.
Bug spray. I'm in SE TX, we have mosquitoes 12 months a year. So many people forget it. A head lamp with a red light will attract a lot less bugs at night to your face than a white one.
Mosquitoes are such a nuisance which people tend to forget about when prepping for even just a casual hike. Probably because movies are so unrealistic and don’t show how drastic the bugs can and will get in all of USA(some areas less than others, and seasons matter also)….flies can also be a big nuisance along with ticks, fleas, chiggers etc…
For real, bug spray, or anything similar, is a MUST NEED in wilderness. Im from south america and man, mosquitoes here arent normal, they look like spear warriors from hell.
And stay with the car. It's a big shiny object that we can see from the air. You have no idea how often we find the car, and then search another day or two to find the occupants.
@@billelliott3507 because you can tell which direction you are going nearly at all times. A compass is great for when you are trying to get to an exact location with high accuracy, but if you are lost, you likely are just trying to get found and heading in general directions is plenty good enough. You sure could carry both
A map takes up zero space. So why not map and compass? That way you can figure out where on the map younare if you don't know. And the sun and moon are often never directly west or east. (Just be sure to get a compass with no metal to screw with the needle)
Extra clothes, sleeping bag, and road flares. After living im Alaska, I keep a full tote in the back of the car with basic camping gear. Every now and then go camping and then replace the food and think about other stuff you might need. If it doesn't fit in the tote, you probably don't need it.
I think in Norway at certain roads during winter it is mandatory to keep supplies for 24hrs in your vehicle. There's a tv series about norwegian winter roads and often there was people waiting for a road to be opened for 12-30 hours and there was no motel or hotel anywhere near, so they stayed in their cars for the timeperiod Few hours it's possible and even 8 but nearing 20hrs no food or water it takes really a special kind of a human to just wait for the road to be plowed. I personally carry 2 fleece quilts, 2 spaceblanket sleeping bags, entrenchingtool and a firestarter and a first aid kit. And when going for more than a walk distance a toolkit. Been planning to implement a large garden candle those that has inch thick wick and burns for days
This is the most Alaskan response to the “everyday carry” trend. I grew up in anchorage in the city but camped all the time as a young kid. It’s pretty normalized to have basics stocked in the trunk of one’s car at all times. I was always at least ready to sleep in my car comfortably if I had to.
Expert tip, leave all those items visible in the backseat with the doors unlocked or window down. Thieves will assume that somebody else was in the process of hittin a lick and will avoid the car altogether. Nobody tryna die over $23.65 and a pack of pall malls.
A friend of mine lives in a sketchy neighborhood where break-ins are common. Most people put metal protections on their doors and windows to deter thieves. My friend removed all the protections from his house except for good locks. For decades houses on his block have been broken into even with the protections in place. His house has never been targeted, ever. Because he has no protections on his, thieves assume his house has already been broken into or there's nothing worth stealing inside. 😂😂
Lot of good extras in the last frame too. Something not mentioned or seen that I would add: a microLED light (keychain sized), preferably with red filter
@@abc456f I am not in this niche language, but I think less chance to be seen from far away. And as another commentator said: they will not attract bugs like white light (just learned this today).
If you are going to get small pliers get the knipex cobra pliers. They are so much better than your average pliers. Im diesel tech and use them all the time.
I love mine. I have the same one he showed and I always carry a smaller one on my belt with my Leatherman multi tool. Channellocks are good. Knipex are better.
As has been stated ad nauseam... A "faraday bag" is a gimmick for people that don't know how faraday cages work. First and foremost you need... a connection to ground. Faraday bags, faraday wallets, faraday shoes.... You would benefit as much from a big piece of aluminum foil wrapped around your phone when it's off... AND it's MUCH cheaper. There are RUclips videos that demonstrate this point by measuring differences. Go watch them, please. Also, a white paint pen and a sharpie. Then you can write on almost any surface.
For the gloves, a consideration I'd have is protection against sharps. I had a similar pair of these gloves for LE use. Went to remove pieces of a windshield off the road. I could feel tiny shards coming into the gloves. Now I do regular leather for work like that
some mylar too... [space blanket] I prefer the tube [tent] version, which gives more material, enough for 2 ''blankets''... AND A CUTTING TOOL...I didn't see any blade there...
Those are useful items unfortunately they are common thieves tools and can get you legal trouble even if u haven't done anything. My buddy caught a charge in nevada for sitting in his car late at night and all they found was a screwdriver and pry bar. He had other tools as well but those were what they thought were suspicious. Its not right but you should consider it before you put it in rotation. Having a face cover could suck too although after covid they are more common.
What could be the point of the Faraday bag? Either you are trying to hide from people or you're trying to hide someone else's phone (WHY? for God's sake WHY would you want to hide someone else's phone, unless you're a kidnapper?)
- ' Faraday' ( British electric scientist) bag/ cage will protect phone & laptop from damage by an E m p- {Electro Magnetic Pulse} - -- caused by a severe solar storm (rare) , or N Korea, exploding a high altitude nuclear device. - - some good Prepper vid s on this .
@@Tom-gv2eo Oh cool, so my phone will survive the EMP but all the infrastructure it relies on for signal and charging will be fried for 1000 miles around
A set of thicker gauge jumper cables. A car self jump starter with usb c/lightning cables to charge your phone. A wool blanket. Water(empty in Winter). A sealed roll of TP. A spare change of clothes + a hoodie. A boo-boo kit. A small medical kit. A collapsible shovel for snow. A retrieval strap. A plug in air compressor tire inflator.
I would say yes to having them in the vehicle and if you find yours in the city when the crap hits the fan then yes toss them in your bag ( bigger pry bar and a good par or wire cutters). But once out of the city not sure if they are worth the weight, maybe the pry bar and I would say a cheap ham radio
All good things, that even if carried together for legal purposes, will be called "burglary tools" by an overzealous cop. Just like most of the stuff I carry every day. I need to add some of that stuff.
Often, for the burglary tools charge to stick, the completion of a crime like burglary has to have been committed first. Merely having tools won't be sufficient to get the charge.
That's not how that charge works. Possession of burglary tools is a felony in some jurisdictions but what it really means is "possession of tools during the commission or attemptdd commission of a burglary." The tools alone are only one element of tge charge that must be proven in court. You have to actually be doing something.
Pack for the mission, ie since I work far from home, in my car is a small bag with resources for me to get back home if my car goes down and SHTF: Headlamp (with red lens and extra batteries) Few changes of socks Lightweight snacks for energy while hiking home Water bladder (changed at the end of each week) Rain poncho EDC items on person (knife, sidearm, watch, lighter) Even after being Infantry for 4 years, I don't consider myself having enough training to be keeping my kit and rifle in the car, but whatever floats your goat I guess.
Tip for a vehicle bag women's pantyhose they're good for so many things but mainly the one that comes to mind is you can actually tie them together and use them as a replacement for a belt that gets shredded or snaps or what have you and it will hold surprisingly and it works I've seen it.
I live in a hot area and keep pepper spray in my car. I made a container to hold the pepper spray out of some leftover mylar/bubble wrap. The mylar pouch keeps the pepper spray within the manufacturer's suggeted temperature range, even when the car is at its hottest.
Faraday Bag is a great idea! If you are camping, and your vehicle is broken into....if its RF Key is in the Faraday Bag, the vehicle cannot be started. I took some friends to Orlando using the BeeLine Toll Road. I had my Sun Pass wirless toll device. A friend brought hers, thinking she could help with the tolls, not knowing I had one. Guess what- BOTH of our RF devices were charged the Toll! If I had a Faraday Bag, I could have put hers in there and it wouldn't have been "seen" by the toll booth, so would not have been charged. If I'm camping and want to be left alone, get some sleep....place the phone in the Faraday Bag.
Everything but the wifi blocker. If you are On the right side of the situation having your location tracked might be what saves your ass if you are on the winning side of an altercation, incapacitated or captured.
Plus tge people who can use tech like that ..the bag doesn't block everything you can all but destroy a phone and it can still be tracked the kinda metals and curcuit boards hell the battery is so unnatural a geology major could rent the equipment to track it through the woods
A whistle, Swiss knife, rope, bandages, waterproof bags, torch with strobe, poncho, trash bag (don't laugh - it saved my gear from being soaked by icy rain). Every person has his/her own preference.
You forgot a flashlight aka torch... also a knife and/or multitool and a working lighter and good window breaker most knives got them on the back, and most important: a bottle of drinking water and also drinks like coke or red bull or ice tea with sugar! Trust me on these ones.
@@wisemencompany nah its cool I get it, you toss your phone into the signal blocking sack and then use the pry bar to "get into your own vehicle" without breaking window, or leaving any prints. Solid plan, no questions lol
Ya don't need a stake in the ground ... just ground it to any Jbox in any house ... which is probably grounded to a stake in the ground ... ummmm never mind!! 🤯
And a roll of toilet paper. I've traveled in a third of the world's countries, break away states, and occupied zones. Concur also with lighter, life straw, headlamp, and pad and pencil. Use a lensatic compass.
A can of wasp spray for a less than lethal defensive weapon... It gives you distance that pepper spray can't give because it sprays 10-15 feet because it's made to reach wasp nests high up in the eaves of a house or the branches of a tree.
@@SweetStuffAustin I wouldn't keep it in a vehicle where it can be exposed to excessive heat. It's safer to keep it in your home near doorways & maybe a can at your desk at work & another can in your bedroom. Recently, I had forgotten a butane lighter in my vehicle. The next time I used the vehicle, I found fragments of the lighter all over the vehicle. A bit disconcerting, to say the least.
It's not legal to use wasp spray instead of pepper spray, because federal law prohibits the use of pesticides as anything other than their intended use. It also hasnt been tested to even be effective as a self defense weapon, so if the felony isnt enough of a reason, the fact it may not even work as well as pepper spray does should be a good enough reason to reconsider what your less than leathal is. Lots of insecticides cannot harm mammals at all, while some are carcinogenic, there's a wide range. Hope y'all stay safe and never need to spray nobody fer nothin
@KOKO-uu7yd It's less than lethal... It will hurt them, though. The reason you would use it is to defend yourself. You need to neutralize the threat to yourself & your family. It's better than ventilating someone with buckshot...
There are great suggestions in other comments about items to consider adding. I wanted to weigh in on a couple of the items in the video and one addition. Socks: I'd recommend getting a good quality wool sock. If you're already wet or going to be walking a lot, artifical fiber socks can cause blisters. Wool is better at wicking moisture away from the feet, dries quicker, amd doesn't smell from wearlike regular socks. In the infantry, we wore one and carried one tied to our gear drying. Here's the addition, foot powder. If your feet go south, you're not getting out of the mess that put you on foot. Next, wire cutters. I learned this from a former SEAL on my team. We started carrying a small set of bolt cutters. They'll go through fencing and heavier gauge wire you're more likely to encounter much more effectively and with less wear. The set we carried were only slightly bigger than the average lineman's pliers. Of course, ounces make pounds and pounds make pain so that has to be considered for each individual. Since we always had a multi-tool on the field belt, we didn't need smaller wire cutters. Food for thought.
@robm6510 There were a lot of times I've had to make a fast entry in fencing. Injured person on the other side was just one. Another might be a lost and exhausted hiker or camper who encountered a fence they can't climb due to design or vegetation overgrowth, and they can't go around. All depends on the circumstances, not all fences are well-maintained livestock fences that you can slide through.
@@robm6510 If I need to pull off a road somewhere to hide from zombies and that involves going thru a fence, I'll probably fix it afterwards so it won't be obvious that I went that way. But seriously, not all wire is part of a fence. Animals do get tangled in fences. Or you could run over a loose piece of wire and wrap it around your axel or drive shaft. What if someone cut your fence, or a tree fell on it, and you needed to fix it? You might need to cut some wire to fix a fence, build a fence, or build some kind of project. Baling wire is the metal equivalent of duct tape. Fencing pliers also have a built in hammer, and they will cut small nails. They often have insulated handles also, in case you need to lift up a hot wire to pass under it. Although there are better gizmos for that if you do it often. They are super handy.
Absolutely, I've been on field oos before where a change of underwear and socks completely recharges you. I would also put them in a waterproof bag because having wet underwear ride up your crotch is among the most annoying, and chafing experiences ever!
Not only do I agree about the less lethal options, Fox Labs Five Point Three (million Scoville Heat Units) pepper gels and sprays are some of the most powerful you can get. They also make pepper spray grenades ..... for some odd reason..... 🤔 Haven't really figured out what those are for just yet.
Something for bathroom needs, of you may get stuck in your vehicle! If you're bot limited to a vehicle, a foldable camp spade or whatever, may do. But in general, it seems the fact that "everyone poops" gets forgotten a lot!😅
I never leave the house without at least 30 pounds of gear. That way I am always ready for any imaginary tactical missions.

Plus tge people who can use tech like that ..the bag doesn't block everything you can all but destroy a phone and it can still be tracked the kinda metals and curcuit boards hell the battery is so unnatural a geology major could rent the equipment to track it through the woods
@@havelthebonk1226not in a faraday case. Completely blocks any signals out or in….
Ahh, good old Knipex Cobra. I have them with me always.
A whistle, Swiss knife, rope, bandages, waterproof bags, torch with strobe, poncho, trash bag (don't laugh - it saved my gear from being soaked by icy rain). Every person has his/her own preference.
A 55 gallon heavy trash bag is useful for many things
You forgot a flashlight aka torch... also a knife and/or multitool and a working lighter and good window breaker most knives got them on the back, and most important: a bottle of drinking water and also drinks like coke or red bull or ice tea with sugar! Trust me on these ones.
Great additions!!! A few rolls of duct tape is a must!!!!!
My guy.
Why tf you need all these theft tools bruh?
A Faraday bag?
Youre on those real felonies huh?
You're asking the wrong questions... my guy.
@@wisemencompany nah its cool I get it, you toss your phone into the signal blocking sack and then use the pry bar to "get into your own vehicle" without breaking window, or leaving any prints.
Solid plan, no questions lol
A Faraday device will only work if it is grounded. You will need to connect a wire to that eyelet and stake it to ground.
I don't know anything about faraday things. Why does it need to be grounded to work? Send like there's a lot of scammy products out there
Ya don't need a stake in the ground ... just ground it to any Jbox in any house ... which is probably grounded to a stake in the ground ... ummmm never mind!! 🤯
And a roll of toilet paper. I've traveled in a third of the world's countries, break away states, and occupied zones. Concur also with lighter, life straw, headlamp, and pad and pencil. Use a lensatic compass.
I’m 10/10 in my truck!!!!
A can of wasp spray for a less than lethal defensive weapon... It gives you distance that pepper spray can't give because it sprays 10-15 feet because it's made to reach wasp nests high up in the eaves of a house or the branches of a tree.
I've been carrying this in my car, but have concerns that it gets too hot in Texas for this to be carried safely.
@@SweetStuffAustin I wouldn't keep it in a vehicle where it can be exposed to excessive heat. It's safer to keep it in your home near doorways & maybe a can at your desk at work & another can in your bedroom. Recently, I had forgotten a butane lighter in my vehicle. The next time I used the vehicle, I found fragments of the lighter all over the vehicle. A bit disconcerting, to say the least.
It's not legal to use wasp spray instead of pepper spray, because federal law prohibits the use of pesticides as anything other than their intended use. It also hasnt been tested to even be effective as a self defense weapon, so if the felony isnt enough of a reason, the fact it may not even work as well as pepper spray does should be a good enough reason to reconsider what your less than leathal is. Lots of insecticides cannot harm mammals at all, while some are carcinogenic, there's a wide range. Hope y'all stay safe and never need to spray nobody fer nothin
I've never heard that! It's NOT lethal to get that in the face?!? 😮
I'll look into it. Thank you!
@KOKO-uu7yd It's less than lethal... It will hurt them, though. The reason you would use it is to defend yourself. You need to neutralize the threat to yourself & your family. It's better than ventilating someone with buckshot...
You forgot the sidearm.
Is you keep these things in your car, how did you break into your car with a prybar?? Because it should’ve been in the car.
Why the faraday cage bag? Send kinda useless to want to BLOCK reception. Usually you'd want signal as often as possible in case of emergencies.
There are great suggestions in other comments about items to consider adding.
I wanted to weigh in on a couple of the items in the video and one addition.
Socks: I'd recommend getting a good quality wool sock. If you're already wet or going to be walking a lot, artifical fiber socks can cause blisters. Wool is better at wicking moisture away from the feet, dries quicker, amd doesn't smell from wearlike regular socks. In the infantry, we wore one and carried one tied to our gear drying. Here's the addition, foot powder. If your feet go south, you're not getting out of the mess that put you on foot.
Next, wire cutters. I learned this from a former SEAL on my team. We started carrying a small set of bolt cutters. They'll go through fencing and heavier gauge wire you're more likely to encounter much more effectively and with less wear. The set we carried were only slightly bigger than the average lineman's pliers. Of course, ounces make pounds and pounds make pain so that has to be considered for each individual.
Since we always had a multi-tool on the field belt, we didn't need smaller wire cutters.
Food for thought.
Fencing pliers cut wire pretty well, and they have a hammer function as well. The pointy end has uses a well.
Why would you need to go through fencing?
@robm6510 There were a lot of times I've had to make a fast entry in fencing. Injured person on the other side was just one. Another might be a lost and exhausted hiker or camper who encountered a fence they can't climb due to design or vegetation overgrowth, and they can't go around. All depends on the circumstances, not all fences are well-maintained livestock fences that you can slide through.
@@SuperD37 But all fencing is definitely there to keep you out.
@@robm6510 If I need to pull off a road somewhere to hide from zombies and that involves going thru a fence, I'll probably fix it afterwards so it won't be obvious that I went that way. But seriously, not all wire is part of a fence. Animals do get tangled in fences. Or you could run over a loose piece of wire and wrap it around your axel or drive shaft. What if someone cut your fence, or a tree fell on it, and you needed to fix it? You might need to cut some wire to fix a fence, build a fence, or build some kind of project. Baling wire is the metal equivalent of duct tape. Fencing pliers also have a built in hammer, and they will cut small nails. They often have insulated handles also, in case you need to lift up a hot wire to pass under it. Although there are better gizmos for that if you do it often. They are super handy.
What's that "kit" for? Exfil from your mom's basement?
Is this for breaking into a casino? The giveaway was the last reason for the scarf "....weather, sun, cold, IDENTIFICATION.."
Can’t forget the double stuffed Oreos also in case of emergency
RPG, c4, and a Gameboy pocket. Just the essentials.
I just found my daughters old Gameboy last week in some junk. I didn't tell her, either!😂😂😂
test that faraday bag... I've gotten a couple that claimed to be faraday bags that did nothing.
Ah haaa das German engineering of knipex😎 best hand tools on the market. (Better than snap on or mac)
What's the name of the finger manipulation tool shown in the movie "Men Who Stare at Goats?" Need one of them.
Are these things actually overlooked? Like where are you guys trying to survive, in the house?!😂
reminds me of an ex who would never leave the house without her passport, a toothbrush (can double as a weapon) and a bic lighter ''just in case''
I’m gonna need a discount code for Steele Industries for about 75%. Kthanks!
What is the actual practical purpose of having a Faraday Bag other than conspiracy reasoning or illegal activities.
Also don’t forget the most important thing:
How to use all this stuff. Does you no good if you don’t know what it’s for.
Very good list. Never thought of the undies and socks but, that is smart. 🍻
that's literally the only non-negotiable. I can live without the rest, but those are non-negosh
Absolutely, I've been on field oos before where a change of underwear and socks completely recharges you.
I would also put them in a waterproof bag because having wet underwear ride up your crotch is among the most annoying, and chafing experiences ever!
I can’t see why you’d carry all that shit unless you’re literally living in a Tarkov-like hell scape.
Not only do I agree about the less lethal options, Fox Labs Five Point Three (million Scoville Heat Units) pepper gels and sprays are some of the most powerful you can get.
They also make pepper spray grenades ..... for some odd reason..... 🤔 Haven't really figured out what those are for just yet.
Why would you need a bag to cut off wifi or cellular reception from your phone.. in an emergency situation
Nice. Great recommendations. I myself got the Sunto wrist compass. Very lightweight
Turning your phone off is as effective as these "Faraday" bags and portables.
Why do you need to block cell reception with a Faraday bag?
Where did you get your monocular?
Vortex
As someone who almost died, trust me... clean underwear
That's a burglary kit. Get charged
who would ever have preparedness gear and forget a compass?
I can just see a cop saying that's all a kidnap or kill kit...
Water bottle snack and some babypowder
Double layer socks. Can't stress that enough. Not sure why nobody do it these days when it was the practice of the SAS.
100% Wool socks
Glock, Spyderco,& Sure fire are Great
You should call this video: 10 things every real man had in his pack at age 11. I added a smith and wesson at 13.
You forgot the Chloroform, Duct Tape, and Shovel...
Why a faraday bag? Is that instead of a tin foil hat?
There are pliers with wire cutting-edge so no need to have two similar tools
Tarp. Raincoat. Umbrella.
What on Earth do you need a faraday bag for ???
1 roll of toilet paper, a med kit, and a blunt. 😂
Gotta have a flashlight and some batteries
Something for bathroom needs, of you may get stuck in your vehicle! If you're bot limited to a vehicle, a foldable camp spade or whatever, may do. But in general, it seems the fact that "everyone poops" gets forgotten a lot!😅
City map, and umbrella!
