I’m gunna ruffle some feathers here but it is what it is. I’ve been backpacking and long distance hiking for years and I’ve learned a lot by actually being out for day to weeks. Your most important piece of gear is clothing. Like he mentioned you can get cold real quick even in warmer climates due to rain and wind. Have set of clothes in there base layer, some sort of mid, a jacket or hoodie then rain gear. Next is sleep shelter. Have an insulated pad and either a wool blanket or sleeping bag a tarp or light weight tent. Then is water/food which he said good options I’ve used what he showed. Here’s where you get into fantasy you do not need shovels, axes, multiple knives, flashlights or any fishing/hunting items. It’s 72hr emergency bag. You’re not building shelters or hunting. You’re not going homesteading point blank period you’re going from one destination to another. You need to cover ground not out for a fish or hunt. Have some meals in the bag. Next for those who have done 10s of miles with a pack on, weight is extremely important when covering distance and minimizing injury. You want to be as light as you can. I carry a lightweight mora knife and a small headlamp. You don’t need anything else. I’m to the point where I can have a full pack with frame support, tent, clothes, gear, food and water for a full week and am right under 30lbs. If you want to find some very tried and true gear for living outdoors look at the gear thru hikers use.
For the most part I agree with all you said. Stupid axe, shovel, multi-tools, etc is all just extra ounces and we know what that =. Good weather appropriate clothing, tarp, water, food, knife! The rest is just silly.
Love this concept! I think it's so much fun to put together B.O.B.s for people, or get home bags for their car. Expensive but awesome gift to give a loved one or friend.
Living in the Deep South I would add:
1. Sunscreen
2. Insect Repellent.
Could the fishing kit tube be used as a bobber? I don’t think AS has bank-line, but it of course has multiple uses. I agree about Bic Lighters, but I now keep mine in a “Made for Bic”sleeve. You put together a good kit! You may not be comfortable, but you would be alive.
I’m looking for light weight perimeter alarms, but most seem heavy. You are providing a great service, that may save lives. Thank You!
great additions!
"I’m looking for light weight perimeter alarms, but most seem heavy. "
For what? You are NOT going out into the woods during a SHTF situation and "surviving". Stop it.
Check out exotac fire sleeve
A military poncho a woobie with that space blanket can make a pretty decent sleep system. Also known as a ranger roll. Let me also mention that this is a nice and informative video. I would like to also mention to replace that cheap compass with a decent base plate compass such as a Suunto and learn how to use it and while you're at it I would add a topo map of the area that you may be traveling through
I always enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for all you do and the information you share.
Man academy is the only gear spot. They got great 5 dollar ponchos. Incredible cheap lights. Its just all there
Love these vids. Just love Sootch 👀
Of course academy would have stuff... best outdoors store
Currently we have Academy, and Dick’s. The closest Bass Pro/ Cabelas is over 100 miles away. Academy is my first choice for brick and mortar stores when it comes to survival.
Dick's doesn't carry the high quality; sustainable gear needed in a survival situation. Cabelas is a good source. So, are military surplus stores.
Another great "build your own" bug-out/get-home back vid. (Really also liked the similar Buc-ees vid you did previously, as well.) My response to someone complaining about the cost of making up multiple bags for multiple vehicles -- what's the value of saving your own life, or someone else's?
Love these kind of videos. Ya you should already have a bag but things happen and being able to put one together on the fly is a good skill.
I didn’t see that particular backpack on their website so I’ll have to go into the store & see what’s what! Thankfully I have an Academy Sports 5 minutes from me, woohoo! 🙌🏽 I’m currently working on my family’s bags: myself, hubby, & (2) kids under 5. It’s been a process! Thank you for always putting out useful helpful content. God Bless & God Bless America!
Great little kit and Academy has quite a bit of gear that can be used. Thanks for putting this video together ...
Excellent video. Thanks for Sharing. Stay Safe
For your Fire Kit, you could fit most if not all in the Stanley Cup. More than likely you will build a fire & use the cup at the same time. Also add a zip lock bag for the items your not using.
not bad for just grabbing what you could find at one store. but i feel that a store like Academy would have better options, but that would have also driven up the cost of the kit. this video really shows how expensive a bug out bag can get. Please keep doing these kinds of videos, and maybe talk more about the cost of the items in the bags and giver your thoughts on the price vs usefulness to help others decide if those items are right for them.
I have the previous version of that Stanley set and it along with a small butane stove is my default...if all else fails...method of making small batch cowboy coffee. I do like the updates they made to it.
You could have bought 2 bottles of water in “single use” bottles instead of the Nalgene. For starters, you already have some drinkable water but the Sawyer Mini/Squeeze screw on the top of the standard bottle and you can filter from those.
I have built so many of these for my family and others. I usually have around $400+ in each bag, depending on the type (EVAC, 3 Day, Long Term, etc) and who it's for. Everybody should have something like this.
Great exercise
I would add:
Body or hand warmers
Small collapsible fishing rod
Maps-state, national
14” zip ties
9 mil ammo
As much paracord as will fit
I'd like to see insect repellent in the kit. But Great kit and video.
I looked at the insect repellent and thought about it. Thanks for the comment
If we keep adding what everyone puts as missing in the comments you’ll need to add a 4Runner.
Thank u
Duct tape and the fishing hook case could be tied on the line to be a bobber
anything that is”10 or less for a tarp size is small. for me, 10x10 is the minimum for sun/rain tarp protection…
Great review...Only thing I see missing is a pair of gloves.
Veterans get 10% off twice a year around Memorial Day and. Veterans Day. Shop accordingly.
Just found out the hard way the 10% doesn't cover everything anymore. It doesn't cover Amunition or firearms.
@@John-li6tn the last time they ran the discount was last Fall before and after Veteran’s Day. It did then because I used it on an order online and in store multiple times.
@jamesh1641 That was when I used it but was told I couldn't use it,
I always put a good quality belt in all my bug out bags, just in case I’m somewhere wearing just my shorts and t shirt.
Cool gear hi from sweden sir
Academy is great place to get some gear, not the cheapest, but better than Dicks Sporting goods…
LOL!!!! The infamous "Bug Out Bag" fantasy. Just call it a camping bag.
For most people it’ll make them a target and be ripped right off of them.
🇺🇸🤠👍
You can use the empty fishing kit container as the bobber?
Nice video! How much did it cost in total, if i missed it?
Thanks again - decent stuff if you're in a pinch.
That’s a lot of gear for 72 hours, especially the cooking kit and food. 10 protein bars would be lighter.
Error in the content, the sawyer mini isnt 1000 gallons, its 100,000 so even crazier!!!!
Small little
Would it be possible to identify which items are made made in China 🇨🇳 or USA or a friendly nation....it would be very helpful to me maybe others..thank you .Vince g 11b Infantry..
It all is Made in China for the most part except for clothing you may see from some other countries. You’ll see clever wording such as “designed and engineered in Wisconsin” or some such stupid language but it is Chinese made.
Only thing I don’t like about Academy are there ammo prices.
Ehhh. They’re all higher now. Buy online? Go for it. All good until a shipment disappears or doesn’t arrive.
Academy is other than Walmart is we’re u can find a lot of things got my first gun from academy
Small and tiny
Tell that guy to fix his hat lol
It's ok but ya can't just go there. There are many other resources that will fill the bill. I'm a scrounger best to be one. Lol
Agreed. Disappointed at this video
@@trextrextrex Yeah, when it comes to my personal bag, I look for the best, but this is an Academy Sports specific bag build.
We have a large flea market once a month not too far from where I live. I think a fun exercise would be to put together a kit bag based purely upon what one could scrounge up there for pennies on the dollar. I'm talking a good quality "3 is 2" bag with multiple types for each "C".
