Hey, would love to see the checklist but your site isnt loading correctly
In the army we used to say "travel light, freeze at night" your going to freeze or have to build a giant 🔥
Hopefully you don't have to be tactical because without fire or way more food. You will die with that kit
When people put these bags together, do they ask, "How many knives do I need?" and come up with five, and two sharpeners? Was that four flashlights? How many bits of fire kit were scattered all around that bag? I lost count.
You know that freezer quart bags being a thicker bag’s make great for stuffing and organizing your gear 😎👍🏼
I Love that idea of just the head of tomahawk with a kydex sheath.
Nice! Thanks very much for watching!
Same that is such a cool idea!!!
Anything you have to craft in the situation that this bag is built for lowers your chances. The haft takes no additional space in a practical sense and the only people who should carry just the head are maybe hatdcore bushcrafters looking for bragging rights from their buddies. It is the same reason people buy Gransfors Bruks axes.
They bring NO additional value to any kit but bragging rights.
@@turtlewolfpack6061 practicality is king!
@@sevenstepsurvival KISS, keep it stupid simple. Yes, that isn't the mainstream acronym but it is the best one IMHO.
I would add a compass and a plumbers tool key to access water from public spigots. An idea is some form of perimeter alarm system in case if you have to set up camp you’ll have somewhat of an early warning system. Thanks for sharing your video.
Thanks for the suggestion! Will add!
pretty sure he had a compass on the bottle
Firesteel use is dependable and can be used over and over. People use them to be competent at start fires with them. In a survival situation...I would use my lighter as well.
Thanks! 🙌
Enjoyed your vid. Maybe put some shoes on next time - just sayin'. Like the metal saw idea - good one. Got one for you - put a DenTek, or similar, filling repair kit in. When the SHTF, you may lose a filling. A sucking open nerve is debilitating. The kit weights basically nothing. Know you are not doing a full med deal, but something to consider. God help us after yesterday.
Thanks so much for the suggestions! and ya, I should probably wear some shoes in the next video! haha sorry about that and thanks for the comment! Glad you liked the video
Oh, and gonna buy the dental kit now! really love that idea! thanks
Good start. Bugout bags are always changing based on need. Bugout bags will vary greatly depending on your environment rural vs City vs suburban, climate, and your overall life skills. Personally, I would incorporate a smaller pack such as a fanny pack or chest rig to carry a few vitals in case you had to dump the bag and run.
Thanks for watching! Very good point
5 ‘s of survival I hadn’t heard that before. What a good term for someone starting out such as myself!
Look it up Dave Canterbury started that with his school....remember when he stared in the TV show Dual Survival?
Cool. Its important to help with planning.
The number one feature in having a bic lighter is carmalising the ends of my paracordage from fraying. A fire steel or other incindiary cannot do this job as instantly as a butane lighter can. I use my scripto or bic liter to harden cordage used in making fibers fasten tighter together when forming a comfort grip cordage handle..
Couldn't agree more about the swiss army knife, I've used the swiss champ on EVERY weekend trip, day hike I have ever been on and I would be lost without it, been using it since I was 18 (18th birthday present) I'm now 43 , If you don't have a swiss army knife GET ONE NOW.
Good try I applaud 👏 your efforts. This is far from perfect but its an absolutely great start. My choices are a titanium canteen, cup, and small cooking pot. A Gransfors Bruks mini hatchet, a Silky Bigboy XL teeth folding saw instead of that Bacho, a Spyderco Paramilitary2 in S90V steel, and a 4 or 5 inch fixed blade. I like a solar charged flashlight 🔦 the Journey 300. And one of those mosquito 🦟 head net. I still have to get a SOL breathable bivy yet. Keep putting it off.
+David Somerset Is that the same as their Emergency Bivvy Sack that's made of a Heat Sheets type of material lined with Mylar and comes in a little compression sack? Those things are cool. I use a pop-up hooped bivvy that's like a little tunnel tent with a zipper hatch type door, the emergency bivvy sack, and put the sack inside a Ranger Roll ( military poncho with the woobie liner attached, with the Mylar and vinyl ( or whatever the other stuff is, Mylar and something tarp ) tarp around me, with a German Flecktarn camo military tarp on some paracord between 2 trees to make an "A" frame above me. I roll up in the Ranger Roll and bivvy sack dressed for the weather, inside the pop-up hooped bivvy. It gets cold up here in these mountains, but that setup keeps me pretty warm.
What he really needs to add to his kit is at least a good handgun that he can handle, conceal on his person while still being able to access it easily, draw it fast, shoot well, and make consistent hits at distances of 50 feet at least ( on the kill zone of a man sized target ), plus at least 2 extra, loaded mags ( or speed loaders if it's a revolver ), and at least a 50 round box or 2 of jacketed hollow point ammunition in his ruck. I would recommend carrying the gun at all times in an IWB ( inside the waistband ) holster that is easily hidden with a tee-shirt, his extra magazines in his back pocket ( left hand side if he's right handed, making sure to keep nothing else in that pocket ) as well as a good knife with a full tang, high carbon steel blade that has at least a 5" blade, kept razor sharp, in a leather sheath which clips to his waistband and the inside of his pants pockets.
Even if he is totally anti-gun, he needs to learn how to use these weapons effectively under pressure, where to strike, and be able to do so in an instant, before his opponent sees it coming ( or even knows he's armed ) and without hesitation. In an emergency, bugout type situation, most everyone will be panicking and running around not really knowing what to do except panic. That is exactly the kind of situation predators, who are doing anything but panicking, wait for. Unlike the panic-stricken masses, predators know that the "bugout emergency" will pass and things will return to normal, so they want to strike while the getting is good; taking out some choice, soft ( or soft looking ) targets, robbing them of their valuables, and quickly moving to another location to repeat the same thing again for as many times and as much as they feel they can get away with. It stands to reason that it's during such times the wise person has their guard up and is watching for anyone that appears to watch them, seems to be trying to get close, "herd" them into a certain place or direction ( probably an area that isn't in plane sight ), and so on. Even when you think you are the only person in the immediate vicinity, chances are good that you are being stalked, already having been picked as a target. The objective is to spot such a threat, strike first,and strike deadly, before they are even aware that you are expecting such a thing
Nothing is perfect, but I definitely wouldn't say it's' far from perfect'. You have a lot of good suggestions, but that's largely based on your personal taste, just like the items and brands he chose is most likely based on his personal taste.
Good build thanks for just being honest and not being a product pusher
Thanks very much! I also hate when they are just trying to sell things.
you can put a small zip tie at the top of your bic lighter to keep from accidently being depressed in your bag
Good idea
Nice Vid. There are other bags that others may prefer for their own reasons but The 5.11 Rush 12 is hard to beat IMO. Regardless of the choice of bag manufacture. That's where it starts.The bag and the 5 C's. Everything else is supplemental.
Thanks for watching! I think the 5.11 rush is one of the best bags out there and certainly the best bag I’ve ever owned. This video is 6+ years old and I still use this bag everyday. It is incredibly durable
Nice kit. Thank you
what i have done/used . first aide added nail clippers tweezers and Q tip. have 35 + years in the outdoors camping hiking etc never had use for a fix blade knife axe /hatchet use folding saw all i carry is a good folding knife put lighter in a case so button dont get pushed extra phone for gps useless when no service get a real compass and 2 topo maps areas you might go get 1-3 packages of food what if you cant get to your supplies 2nd bottle for water good idea if water not to available
Good kit!
Thanks !
@@BugoutChannel Would be cool to see a camp out with the bag. Get to test the jungle blanlet some more too!
@@ThePreparedNorseman Great idea! I will do that for sure. Thanks for the suggestion
Awesome video! But, please use a tripod!
Yes Sir. Very sorry about that. I will be investing in some new equipment soon. Thanks for the comment
@Greg Smith haha. no crossbow pistol.
The secondary light, most of those type have lenses that unscrew so you can use it as a magnifying glass for fire starting also. Very cool bag
lighters run out of gas and take up space when need to replace or by simply having a few just to be sure , where as a fire steel is one piece and lasts for a long time.
Thanks for the comment! This kit does also include a fire steel. Just thinking since this bag will be for anything that “could happen” during a 3-5 day period, I would use the BIC first. Fire steel is a great long term option. Thanks for watching
@@BugoutChannel np :) , and yea thats true you could also buy zippo gas mini cans on amazon , just incase another backup for fire.

Glad you remade your channel. You got me into prepping
Thanks Ryan! That’s really cool to hear brother. I’ll have lots of content coming soon
Excellent video! But I hope you will soon be able to afford a tripod (or camera stabilizer) to avoid camera jump. If you have a significant other, perhaps you can enlist an assistant in a mutually enjoyable undertaking. Forgive me if this sounds too personal, but I think you have a lot of potential. I would really like to see this channel grow.
Thanks Shasta! Sorry for the video shakes. Its a great suggestion and very sorry about that. Please be sure to subscribe! I'll have more videos out soon!
"You know, a lot of guys, they go straight to the firesteels. I'm not exactly sure why, because personally-and I have a firesteel in here as a secondary method of fire starting-but I'd much rather just use a Bic lighter, as opposed to a firesteel. These things definitely get a fire going quickly. You don't have to worry about, you know, don't have to worry quite as much about tinder. Just go ahead and , you know, strike it and get the fire going. Sorry, not strike it. Light it and get the fire going. It's really easy. I'm not that hardcore that I'm going to use a firesteel in a survival situation if I have a lighter. That just seems silly. It almost seems like it's just it's just people are, you know, just trying to seem, I don't know, more hardcore than they really are. Or maybe they just don't put the thought into it but I'm not quite sure what they big deal is on firesteels. I do like 'em. They are cool because you can use them in the water, or when they're wet, excuse me; but, if you can have a lighter, why wouldn't you use a lighter. It seems silly."
I'll try to explain, from my perspective: The compelling feature of a ferrocerium rod ("firesteel") is its reliability. If it gets dropped in water, just wipe it off and it's immediately functional. Likewise, high wind doesn't hinder it. It works fine at high altitude. It works fine in extreme cold. If you drop it in the campfire and are slow at fishing it back out, it'll still be fine. Accidentally break it into pieces, and it's still fully functional. And it lasts for many of thousands of strikes-practically forever. It's a nearly indestructible piece of metal, with the reliability if a piece of metal. It can even be used as both the ignition source and the tinder, making it yet more reliable.
On the other hand, I've had the tops break off of my Bic lighters. I've has the bodies crack and the lighter fluid leak out. I've had the gas lever accidentally depress and lose all the fuel. I've had Bics work poorly in extreme cold, and likewise at high altitude, and likewise in extreme wind. I've had them get wet and take a few minutes to make functional again. In short, they tend to be unreliable in actual emergency conditions.
But here's the thing: to be able to use firesteels consistently in difficult emergency conditions takes practice and skill. Which means using them first and frequently when not in an emergency. Additionally, using firesteels to get fires going whenever you can helps with learning to recognize and prepare tinders well, learning how to breathe into a fire to make it grow, how to build a good fire lay, etc. And these skills also transfer and help with getting any fire going with any tool in any circumstances, such as using a lighter.
Sure, if you're in an emergency, and you have a lighter, and it's a situation where the lighter works well, then use it first. They can definitely be the fastest, easiest option to get a fire going sometimes. But make sure your firesteel skills are fully comfortable and ready for when they can't.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing 😁👍
I enjoyed the video! Kit looks good. I have a pretty bad back and try to stay as light as possible. Six Moons Gatewood Cape (poncho/tarp) w/ carbon pole, T6Zero Emergency Shelter Tarp, SOL Escape Bivvy, Thermarest Neoair XLite, Helikon Swagman Roll, Emergency Blanket, Merino Baselayer, hat, gloves, and socks, leather gloves, Shemagh. Grayl, Micropur purification tablets, Toaks 900mL pot, Hydropak 2L water bladder, Kojin Alcohol stove and Trail Designs Triway Cone w/ 8mL fuel in Nalgene, Exotac FireRod XL w/ Fire Roll Tinder, Exotac Lighter, Exotac Riproll, Clipper Lighter, Silva Mini Compass, trauma kit, BooBoo kit, Meds for 3 days, eye drops, energy pills, 10 TP tabs, hand sanitizer, Petzl Actik Core headlamp w/ extra battery, Nitecore 10000 battery bank, Thrunite T1 flashlight, NiteIze Micro Lantern,, Leatherman Wave, Mora Kansbol, ARS pruning folding saw, Silcock key, lockpicks, 30 ft dyneema cord ridgeline, 4x 6ft hanks of #36 bank line,30ft #36 bankline , SOS Lifeboat ration (3600 cal), 2x 6oz Peanut Butter Pouches (1000 cal each), electolyte drink mix, you can throw some dehydrated meals in there if you'd like. This seems like a lot, but it's all pretty light weight, fits in a 25L bag and is about 20lb with food and water. Its full comfort which I think is important for sleep. I based it off the Green Bearded Green Beret UL BugOut and combined it with Backpacking supplies. She lives in the back of my jeep with my wool blanket, fiskar ax, and shovel
Wow! That’s such an awesome setup! Thanks very much for sharing and for watching the video!
Let me know your thoughts below
Good kit brother. You have me a couple ideas. A couple ideas from me...
Did I see some banana or cotton?
Needles?
Most important though would be a head cover, a real poncho, extra socks.
Also I counted six blades. Too much redundance.
I'd run the multitool, saw, mora. Then choose the big knife OR hatchet. Dump the other 2 or 3. Everything would still be covered. Good work👍
For example, I run with only:
Same saw as you
Big Libertariat knife
Multi tool
Small fixed blade
Nothing else
Ya. A few to many knives for sure! Great ideas brother! Thanks for watching !
Unless you have it covered in another on-body kit, I would include some sort of trauma kit, eye protection and a battery backup to store the solar charge during the day.
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion! My current setup has an updated Medkit as well solar panels with rechargeable batteries
First aid kit is a must have item. I would also recommend a good pair of work gloves.
Pretty cool man but you’ve got way way too many knives, I mean you have a backpack full of knives, what are you going to do with them all?You need one primary knife and one Back up pocket knife.
Awesome Video! Please make more videos! LIKE THE CHANNEL but, yiou need to post more!
Will do ! Thanks
Loved it! Thank you so much!!
Thanks! Hope it helps and glad you like it!
found you through EMP Shield (huge fan!) and looking forward to more prepper content. nice job!
Thanks brother! Welcome
Got any links to the gps for the phone or the name of it for an iPhone
Can’t find it under survival gps
Coming back soon. Working on an update. Will be back on iOS and Android soon. Ill keep you posted
The cheap AAA battery light should take an 18650 as well, just needs a plastic sleeve to make it fit. Most of them do work, some don't. Try it at your own risk. I bought a bunch of those flashlights for $4 CAD each from a dollar store in Canada. They work fine but are not waterproof.
A 72hr bug out bag during cold weather without a real sleeping bag is actually a 8hr bug out bag because that’s about how long you will last. Please get yourself a good sleeping bag. Otherwise I like your vids.
Adding the wristwatch😮great idea.
Thanks!
Great video and great kit!
Thanks so much!
Definitely not the ultimate bug out bag ! Minimal at best! Carry some ramen and bullion cubes tea or coffee. A hot meal before bed and you will sleep warmer and a hot beverage can help boost your morale in the morning or during the day! Good luck!
Great video, very informative.
Thanks
What is the all-weather blanket? what size is it? thanks
How do you make the Vaseline cotton balls ?
srry but the pull trough sharpeners? ditch those immediatly, get like a worksharp field sharpener or such, but the pulltroughs are not the way unless you want to ruin the edge
Nice sheath for your esee. Would you make and sell those?
Unfortunately I am not able to make any sheaths right now. But, I do have a video on making them if you want to check it out. ruclips.net/video/wO9oa-_SUi4/видео.html
@@BugoutChannel lol I found it after navigating through your page you have some real good information and videos. Really enjoy your channel. Thanks
@@robertleal7175 Thanks brother
Speaking from experience, the Snugpak jungle blanket/bag is garbage in the winter. A down quilt is more expensive, but takes up less weight and room, and keeps you far warmer in winter conditions.
Thanks for the insight! That’s great for everyone to know. Much appreciated
+Austin Lowery I agree. It's called a jungle bag because it's meant to be used in warm climates and is useless at temperatures colder than chilly weather ( that you would be dressed for anyway ) like late Autumn. I use a Ranger Roll and, thanks to that Really Big Monkey1 guy, I learned that a full size bed's goose down comforter ( and goose down in general ) compresses really well, is light weight, very warm, and packs so light and easily that a full bed size, goose down comforter can be compressed very easily to fit into a bag ( I think he used a heavy duty, nylon bag with drawstring ) about 6"x6". That fits easily into my U.S.G.I. MOLLE 2 Waist Duffel and Butt Pack that is usually MOLLEd on to my U.S.G.I. pistol belt at the small of my back, which also normally contains my Ranger Roll, SOL Emergency Bivvy Sack [made of Heat Sheets type material and has a Mylar inner lining which reflects 96% of my body heat back onto me and comes in it's own little, lightweight compression sack and barely takes up room. Great addition to the Ranger Roll], with room to spare. Goose Down will fluff right back up and is very warm and easy to re-pack in the morning ( you don't want to keep it compressed for extended periods of time unless you unpack it and fluff it back up, then repack it every couple of weeks ). Really Big Monkey1 always says he's not a survival expert, yet his videos contain more real, working stuff than most so-called "experts". I highly recommend all of his videos, and take notes on the tons of valuable info
What z blade length of folding saw?
You cannot depend on your Bic lighters. I know you say you have fire steel but that its not your primary. Fair enough.... but practice with it. We have a minimum of five methods for starting fire in our bags. Remember.... Three is two. Two is one and one is none. ABSOLUTELY have lighters, but have back ups to back ups and practice.
Great point! Thanks very much for the insight

Why didn't you add a link to the gps app
Ok, so, you make great videos and bring good insight, which is the reason I subscribed and liked every video I've watched, but sometimes you speak either too fast or not clear and I can't get the name, so if I want to get the name off the product I can't because you don't focus the cam on the name or you waive it too fast, and the RUclips caption does not get everything you say. So how do you resolve this, simply putting the name on screen or a link to the product in the description. The tomahawk, great idea.
Sorry about that. I’m working on it. I tend to talk and move way to fast! Haha. Thanks for the sub. More content coming soon!
Take out 3 of those redundant knives and you'll be able to have water.
Firesteels are for people who like to make their lives difficult :p
You sound like a very familiar youtuber
This channel used to be much larger. I closed it down about 5 years ago. Now I am starting it back up for fun
Thanks for watching
I don’t understand the need for so many “primary” knives.
You can make a lot more fires with a decent ferro rod than with a Bic. Bic claims that you can get 300 1 1/2 second fires. This means if it takes 3 seconds to start your fire then you will only get 150 fires. If it takes longer than three seconds then you will get fewer.
Try doing your ferro rod with a broken collar bone or wrist. You’ll love a lighter then! Yes it’s possible but not easy. I’d rather have a Bic!
@@johncrouch8988 all my bags have disposable lighters, and my INCH BAG even has a new zippo, extra flints, and a twelve ounce bottle of lighter fluid.
My fire kit has lots of methods and fuels to start fires including a chemical fire starter. I agree though that the lighters make fire starting much easier.
get some Dude Wipes. Better than wet wipes for that specific use.
I may have missed it but I didn't see toilet paper and soap.
You need a Mora knife❤😊
That you for the content, does it ever rain where you live?
Thanks for watching! It does rain quite a bit. I’m from Kansas
Too many cutting tools! I'd keep the Mora, the sak and the saw. Also too many flashlights! You should more food unless you like foraging! In other than late spring and early fall you are could be pretty chilly in a jungle bag. They are made for tropical climates and the SOL emergency bivy is minimal at best! A wool blanket even a light weight would be good to use if you insist on the jungle bag and bivy. Just a thought because a long cold night equals a tired miserable next day!
Too many knives no sleeping bag pad? A light weight hammock would be good some anti-inflammatory Advil a collapsible gallon water jug and a larger filtration device, light weight 22 pistol. Pack is just too small. One stupid food bar??
Lots of interesting ideas in this video. I would ditch the stoves in favor of more heating tabs and 4 or 5 cans of food. Make sure one can is edible without cooking, like fruit. Then turn the can into a stove with your multitool. I might ditch a couple of the knives or other weight and substitute a big metal pipe which can be used as the handle for the hatchet. You can stuff the pipe with cord or fishing line or maybe arrowheads and bowline, the possibilities are endless. Your setup seems primarily woods based, but I feel like most bug out situations will occur in much more urban environments, so you might wish you had a flathead and a philips head screwdriver, a pair of pliers with cutters, and a decent pair of scissors.
Thanks for the suggestions. I agree, I need to focus more on urban. This bag was primarily for the woods but, just like most people, my situation is ever changing.
R u American?Do mostly American carry this bag?
Ah, T.P ?
+Bugout Channel Hey, man. Cool video. Yours is a basic setup, yet covers your bases and would most likely keep you alive and light on your feet ( you would laugh at mine, I'm sure, with the big, military rucks, weapons, ammo, meds, trauma kit, extensive fire bag put into a waterproof bag, but I do keep a 5 pack of full size Bic lighters [none of those cheap, gas station ones that will break] in my fire kit, pockets, ruck etc... As you said, why not simply flick a Bic if you can? ) a bunch of redundancies of redundancies, lol ( you are among the few people I know of that keeps that much 550 paracord (I keep 2 100 foot hanks, a 300 foot value pack I got from Coleman's surplus [it has a bunch of lengths, ranging from 12 to 20 feet in length that together total 300 feet] as well as 50 feet of Titan Cord [550 paracord with a copper wire as an additional strand, and 50 feet of 1100 cord [has 14, instead of 7, triple braided, high strength strands inside. I just discovered 1100 cord at Wally World last week, had to get it. All of the 550 is military]. Then again, I live way up in the Great Smokies, so our needs are probably different. I notice that you keep Super Glue, which is something I keep in my trauma kit ( the liquid skin they use in hospital ERs is basically Super Glue. I used to know a method to keep it from hardening after you open and use some, but I forget what it was. Do you know what I'm talking about? Please say yes and tell me, haha.
If I may make a few suggestions, some of which you may like and others you may think I'm a crazy person. When keeping a bag of batteries for everything ( I do as well, more than I need ), remember to cover the battery tips with electrical tape so they don't drain each other. I also keep multiple LED flashlights. For rucks, I use what the military uses ( right now, it's my newest acquisition, the Army's U.S.G.I. MOLLE 2 large combat ruck. I've seen instances where even the highly touted and way overpriced 5.11 Rush 72 has broken a strap, as well as some ultra expensive "tactical" rucks like Eberlestock, North Face, and so on fail ( I guess mine are more INCH bags because, if I have to abandon my isolated, mountain house, the world must be crazy, hence my abundant guns, meds, ammo [most people think I carry too much in the way of guns and meds]. Plus, I have a CCW permit and carry everywhere I can anyway, so... ). I would highly advise you to carry at least 1 good firearm, I recommend a good pistol you can easily hide on your person, and ammo to reload at least a couple times. I would also suggest getting surplus rucks and gear because, as I said, I've seen high dollar civilian rucks and gear fail.
My meds bags ( most of the contents of which would get me arrested if it wasn't SHTF, except for my RXd opioids and benzos [mainly high dose oxycodone and Xanax that are legally prescribed to me for legit reasons, but better to have a lot more than I need than need and not have ) are quite extensive, as are my trauma kits, guns, and ammo ( if SHTF happens, I'd rather be loaded for bear and, in the rural South, it's part of our culture ). I'm not saying to carry all that I do, but I would to look into at least 1 pistol you shoot well with, that's at least decently powerful and that you can conceal and get to easily, and at least some reloads.
If we're talking a few days, I'd probably use a medium ruck like the 36 liter Norwegian canvas ruck ( it's often called the "Heroes of Telemark" ruck because Kirk Douglas uses it in that old WW2 movie. Very high shelf, strong, top quality, and 30 some dollars at Coleman's Surplus ), the popular Medium ALICE ruck, or similar 36-42 liter ruck ( way easier to haul than my 90 something plus liter big rucks ). You might also want to load up a med bag that also has things like some prescription opioid pain pills ( maybe something you have left from an old surgery or injury. If you break a bone or sustain a painful injury, you'll be glad you have them ), something like Valium or the like ( tons of people have stuff like that around the house ) in addition to OTC stuff, build a real, life saving trauma kit, invest in some MREs and things like those heavy duty packages of canned type Spam, tuna fish, chicken, and so on. I also keep a sock full of rice, a trick I learned from an old Vietnam veteran who was in the LRRPs ( long range recon patrols ). Keep an extra 5 gallon can of gasoline in your car, as well as a couple gallons of water ( I have a Sawyer Mini in my water purification bag, as well as more stuff, but I still do that ), a can of Fix-A-Flat, and tool kit, maps and compass that don't take batteries, basic stuff like that
Have you ever bugged out with this??
Something that I always preach on folks that ask me about bug out gear and equipment. I always tell them when you set it up you need to test it get out a few times make your adjustments and then wait for a real crappy day and bug out see how it goes.
It has been used for 7 years. This video is actually 7 years old. Kit has evolved alot since the making of this video.
Was going to say...my kit was surprisingly similar year’s ago...my test of that sleep system was not fun. Would love to see if you’re updated kit has evolved similar too mine...good to see your still around.
@@dlrmon1 It has evolved significantly. I will try to post a video in the next few months of my current setup
Some odd choices.
First time to see one of your videos...content good but for God's sake spend $7 for a camera tri pod.
Thanks for watching. And sorry 🙏
Worthless small bag
So let's see the knife out of the sheath.. And the hammock out of the bag, and everything else that you talked about, but didn't show... Lol
Too many knives. Not enough calories. No backup ID. No money.
Good try I applaud 👏 your efforts. This is far from perfect but its an absolutely great start. My choices are a titanium canteen, cup, and small cooking pot. A Gransfors Bruks mini hatchet, a Silky Bigboy XL teeth folding saw instead of that Bacho, a Spyderco Paramilitary2 in S90V steel, and a 4 or 5 inch fixed blade. I like a solar charged flashlight 🔦 the Journey 300. And one of those mosquito 🦟 head net. I still have to get a SOL breathable bivy yet. Keep putting it off.
Thanks so nuch! I truly appreciate the kind words and suggestions. Your kit sounds awesome!
