    I keep seeing videos of people saying they are not packing food, as they won't need it. I really don't understand this! As a infantry veteran I can assure you, that you will most definitely need food. If an emergency happens and you need to start performing. You will use up your stores of energy very quickly. At the beginning adrenaline will help, but that won't last. You will then need to reply on your mental and physical fitness. As a young very fit infantry soldier who did these things on a regular basis. I know all the guys thought about was food. We were constantly hungry, we were using all the very high energy food the military fed us. So I guarantee if that is how we were. There is no way most guys will perform without a good high energy food supply.

      What kind of infantry were you in? Food is last in priorities of work. The human body can perform well without food for as long as a week. You might feel hungry, but as long as you have water you'll be fine. That is unless you have a metabolic disease like diabetes, but rule number one should be to get in shape. If it takes you more than a day to get home in your own city then food will be the least of your worries.

    A few biggies you should consider:
    * Rain jacket/poncho
    * You may not need snacks, but you may. Say you have to go on foot and have to walk two days. You’re going to be sucking without some calories. A simple couple of cliff bars works.
    - An emergency blanket will work instead of a sleeping bag, unless it’s winter up north. It backs up much smaller if you need to go on foot.
    * You should throw a water sillcock key in your bag. If water is still on, you may not pass some place that’s open to go in and get water. You may not want to knock on a home’s door asking for water. But with the spigot key, you can open water taps on the outside of commercial buildings.
    * Firefighter swipe tool (metal or plastic), can be cheap and pack flat/small. Allows you to non-destructively get access to a building in case of an emergency if you need shelter.
    * A couple lighters if you need to start a fire.
    * I also keep a good pair of boots in my trunk with my get home bag, as I wouldn’t want to walk all the way home in office dress shoes.
    * as for gun, honestly a carry pistol is more than enough for almost any “get home” scenario. I know MP5s/clones are fun and effective… and you’re the Zenith channel, but it’s a bit much for the CONOPs. I do, however, carry a couple spare carry gun mags in my get home and also have a trigger guard cover for my pistol in a Fanny pack. It lets me switch from appendix to the Fanny pack which is MUCH more comfortable for a possible long walk. If you do want something with a stock/brace, the Flux Raider and upcoming Raider 365 seem like good options for a get home bag, especially the Raider 365 so you can share mags. Well, at least be able to use the Raider 365 “max” length mags in your carry pistol if necessary.

    This video is a welcome breath of fresh air that gets away from all the tacticool guys and their plate carriers, helmets, and three grand SBRs. This kind of down to earth approach to a natural disaster, more than just a “combat scenario” is exactly what I was looking for in setting up my bag. I’m not trying to play soldier, I just want to go home. Thank you.

    Probably the most practical setup I've seen on RUclips. All the other ones assume you live in the country off-grid and that looking like a soldier is a good idea.

    You know, I've been wondering which MP5/SP5 clone I should go with, I love your "unapologetic" stance at the end of this video, I think I just made my decision for my next firearm purchase. Been looking into some sort of compact "go bag" sort of setup exactly like this, a compact "K" variant not a full size SP5-ish firearm but I think this would still be a force multiplier over a regular pistol even with a red dot. My other option is to SBR my PS90, the thought of carrying a brick of 5.7 for far less weight than 9mm also intrigues me lol. Appreciate the video you guys have a new subscriber. Love seeing content like this.

    Love that ZF-5P. I was thinking of adding an AR pistol to my get home bag. But I think that for my area the ZF-5 makes more sense. Easier to carry more ammo and conceal under a light button up shirt or sweater.

    Great job for an urban close to home kit!
    Some of us have large distances to cover and therefore need more gear, bigger pack, and a rifle with better range.
    I have a vehicle kit that is good for 60 miles or 2-3 day walk. If i am driving frather than that, i have a supplemental kit which includes a rifle that goes with me.
    I also have a wife n kids i have to pack for as well, so that adds bulk to my get home bag.
    I long for the days I could run a sleek kit like yours. Now it seems i have to have 60 pound pack just to feed everybody.
    But, having a zenith in the vehicle kit for 60 miles or less seems like a no brainer. Im gonna go check you guys out. Thanks foe the video.

    Regular clothes and college back pack filled with light gear is great. Light, quick, and fills the needs without tipping your hand. A gun, knife, a few reloads, food, water, a couple of light quick tools, rain gear, hat gloves and small first aid kit. Ready to meet a challenge, but not take on the world to get home..

    You have night vision if things go sideways travel at night fast and quiet, hide by day if you need to. Avoid contacts and not to worry about the Gucci guns, something simple to carry/use and light to aid speed in getting back home. Too many people focus on the trinkets and forget knowledge, skills and simple stuff will get you there faster and easier. Still, nice weapon and set up and has it's place in certain scenarios.

  • @neobaggins3718
    @neobaggins3718 3 месяца назад

    I have a thing for bag guns. First one was a folding 9mm AR, then replaced with a custom built 300 blk AR SBR with a law folder and Dolos takedown barrel. Then I added a PS90 SBR, then Tommybuilt T7. Recently sold the T7 for a nice profit and picked up a ZF-5P and a Resilient R9, and am waiting for the Form 4 and Form 1 approvals. I treat mine as supplemental carry guns, since I’m more easily able to stay proficient on my PDW platforms than pistol. I’m competent with my 365 XL, but give me the choice, I’ll take a PDW/SBR every time.
    The way I look at my bag setups, they’re truck guns that I don’t leave in the truck to be stolen. I can take them almost anywhere without drawing attention. With the exception of one vertx bag, none of my bags are even made for their end use. That means they’re absolutely gray.

    This is kind of late but I like the idea of having some sort of folding saw with me because it’s not worth abandoning your whole vehicle for a downed tree. In a lot of situations you could probably clear the road enough with a hand saw to keep going in your vehicle and not have to take off on foot. Anything to keep your vehicle moving in the correct direction!

    • @PoeInTheDitch
      @PoeInTheDitch 29 дней назад

      You're not getting through a tree with a Laplander or a Silky. Much less several trees. Most folding saws just don't have useful length for that application. Better off just having a chainsaw locked away in your vehicle.
      Folding saws are still great to have in a ghb or bob for processing firewood, in a pinch. Though, not going to be finding any usable wood in a hurricane.

    I thought about this a lot when I worked a desk job. One thing to consider is clothes and shoes. I was wearing a suit and tie, and of course dress shoes, to work. Not something to try and walk 2-3 days in. Also some sort of loose shirt/cover garment to blend in and of course cover what's around your waist, at least from a distance. These items will probable need to be rotated on a seasonal basis, depending on where you live.

    As far as the firearm goes when I travel and It matters about being discreet I carry my Keltec sub 2000 in my backpack because it packs well and more importantly it shares mags with my EDC or i carry a chassis that fits my EDC. If you want to go with the chassis tho I suggest getting one that dose not require you to take apart your EDC to use. Both of these choices are because of magazine compatibility. I would rather carry 10 mags for one system then five and five for two, even if there the same caliber that way I won’t run into a situation where I have to decide to download magazines for two separate platforms I can just plug and play till I’m out. Even if I’m traveling and less worried about being discreet my travel long gun is an AR9 that shares mags with my EDC. Great video I just thought I’d throw that out there.

I live in a climate that can get VERY cold for upto 6 months so being able to get up off the ground and still trap heat can be very useful, a mini sawyer and a life water or other similar thread type bottle, you can drink directly out of it or use it to fill clean bottles like a klean kanteen, a lightweight steal bottle that I can boil water in. I also keep some builder bars, 20g protein and not terrible sugar, moving through the cold even dressed semi appropriately eats a lot of energy. the whole bag (mines a non descript school type bag with some kids buttons and patches on it) food water shelter cordage knife(LM mut) and firearms.

    Great get home bad. I know every one is gonna have input and comments about what they would add, but I will suggest one thing. I know, I know, but hear me out. That kit you have is damn near perfect, but would suggest you add a Sillcock key. Example, Me and my buddy were cruising in a small town and his radiator over heated. I carry my get home bag everywhere with me. There were spickets everywhere but no key to turn them. So I bust out my Sillcock key and we filled his radiator. Having one is a game changer and can be, obviously, used to access drinking water and electricity. These things take up no space at all. May God bless you all in the upcoming domestic and global events that are coming.

    There are a few things I personally would add.
    1 a way to make fire. If you have to go by foot you may have to be out in the cold at night so stay warm stay alive plus a ferro rod is small and lightweight add a fire stick or plug and you're goo to go
    2 an emergency blanket again small and light weight will keep you warm and could be a make shift shelter to keep you dry or a bivvey same thing
    3 you said batteries for a flashlight but didn't show one but I'd have a headlamp that can go straight to red light so it's less noticeable
    4 last but not least and probably higher on my priority would be a blade you may edc a blade I'm not sure and that's why it wouldnt be in your bag but I'd for sure have one
    Other than those notes I really like that med kit
