Always enjoy your videos from Northern Ireland 🇬🇧 you have embedded prepping into so much of your everyday life and its impressive and inspiring great work 💪
I’d add a sling, a light and pull that rear sight as far as you can to the rear (and still be able to operate the charging handle easily) to increase your sight radius

Hey Joe. My name is Christopher Morrow. I live in Indianapolis Indiana. I'm an African American male, I love your channel an all the information you share. I have been criticize because I watch you! I feel you share this information for EVERYONE!! AN ITS SAD THAT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SINCE NOWADAYS, THAT WE MAY ALL NEED EACH OTHER IF SOMETHING HAPPENS IN OUR COUNTRY. I THANK YOU BROTHER FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO BE WHO, AN WHAT YOU ARE!
Chris, you're smarter than they are. The government isn't coming when, NOT if something happens. It is up to YOU to prepare for Yourself and your family. Even if they criticize you for it, by getting things together in kits or bags etc. Bug out, Inch, day or 72 hours, its all important. ESPECIALLY inside a City like Indianapolis! Have a well executed plan. When it all goes sideways, they will go from criticizing you to worshipping you, and that alone is going to be difficult. Do these things you have the knowledge to do, but don't tell anyone you're doing them, what he isn't telling you is that even for himself, and most youtubers in general is that they have 68.2 THOUSAND + people that know he has this stuff. I know you said you're African American, but you want to be a GRAY MAN!
Because of chronic pain issues i have a bugout system set up with sling bags 1860s civil war soldier style. Ww2 era guns and mostly canvas and olive green wool. God bless!
😆 sounds like it, but it’s actually from red dawn.. the composers name is Basil Poledouris, the composer for Friday the 13th was Harry Manfredini.. thanks for watching!
From someone who does a lot of ruck marches, one piece of advice I can give is consider moving your sleeping bags from the top of your ruck to the bottom of it, especially with that being a lightweight sleeping bag. You want to have the lightest weight items as low as possible and the heaviest items as high as possible and as close to your back as possible. I keep at least half of the entire rucks weight either between my shoulder blades or above that point. Doing that helps distribute the weight properly across your frame and allows you to shift the weight forward over your hips by simply leaning forward when going uphills. After a few miles you will be able to feel the difference.
Hi, you have more faith in the ZIPPS in your pack then I have ever had working in the conditions of high hot fine sand, high humidity and no access to replacement services. What the Brits call On her Majesties Service! The reason that the Old Sweats keep on using the old bag back packs is that they don’t trust zippers and velcro. Have you ever been in a sleeping bag and woken up in a hurry and the zipper was stuck? Never again, in my panic I ripped the sleeping bag apart and destroyed it. Buckles, toggles and loops and para cord we trust! Metal or plastic zippers, never. Cheers mate. Harera
I'm laughing my ass up in the beginning of your introductory because the first thing that cross my mind was where did you leave the wife and kids, it's crazy how all these bugs out videos are truly unrealistic especially in an urban environment.
Here’s a little secret.. I wasn’t actually bugging out 🤫it was just a video, purely for entertainment purposes.. I know that can be a little confusing for some people..Also, I don’t want to put my children in my videos, now that I know there are so many freaks watching my videos.. here’s a tip.. try to suspend your disbelief a little when watching RUclips videos.. it may help you enjoy them! Thanks for watching! 😉
@@idahoprepper You and me both know that if your family were safe elsewhere and you were stranded alone you'd love bugging out into the woods until things settled down. You'd LOVE IT haha!!! Especially if you and they were within radio distance for nightly chats while you drank coffee watching the sunset over your campsite. :) :) ;) ... Have you read Going Home by A.American? Great series of bugging out and in books.
@idahoprepper, finally, someone who doesn't believe in advertising their kids in a video for views, the fewer people who know your family members identity the best. I like the video for what it is and it's a mixture of entertainment/education on prepping situations. Some are trying look to deep into the video😂😂
@@idahoprepperI enjoyed the intro. I did laugh but because I imagined you were my friend and how much I would jab my buddies if they were to do that intro. Also cool gear man.
I highly recommend you get a grayl water bottle. It processes water faster, safer, and better tasting than the Sawyer type filters. You can always keep the tube filter for backup if you want since it will filter more water in its life span.
I use both in tandem, if you are incapacitated by a germ or bacteria….then you are helpless ….even more so then a broken bone or gun shot…..end of story
@@idahoprepper Your lifestraw doesn't filter viruses, but a Grayl will. Think Norovirus and hepatitis viruses. I too thought the lifestraw was good, but when you read what it filters, it does NOT mention viruses.
Great video. Now do one where you pack n ruck for 2 toddlers and a wife! Thats a video i have never seen, and from my own prepping, it seems almost impossible. From the amount of calories needed to hygiene, to clothing, to sleep systems, to water, to medical, i dont think it can be done. Toddlers cant carry backpacks and the wife and i will already be carrying the toddlers. If you have a young family, you REALLY need to consider these things before bugging out on foot or you may just be leading them to the grave. God bless. Long live the Republic.
With toddlers, i think of bugging out more like "can we survive a week in a hotel or community storm shelter" rather than "can we survive a week in the woods". So preps would include all the normal diaper bag necessities of toys and hygiene products but also snacks and hand warmers. A lot less cool than radios guns and firekits though.
@@idahoprepper Love your videos, in our case we have "get home bags", just in case a collapse occurs whike we are far away from like at work or school.
@@southtexasprepper6605 Same, all our vehicles have get home bags in them. Wife is only 1 mile from the house and our daughters school is inbetween which is nice but I'm about 10 miles from my shop to the house. But you never know what could happen, we have the same ham radios but I put the 4ft folding antennas on them and we tested them and it worked. The bug-outs stay at home of course but I made sure all our vehicles have 2-3 days of get to home/base necessitates and also tossed in a case 48ct of water bottles into every vehicle along with lifewater straws in the bag. Stay safe my friends!
One thing to keep in mind is that bright red crosses on medical supplies makes it easy for the enemy to see you. Likewise, flags patches on the chest or back do the same, but also tell the enemy where your off button is, right on the diaphragm. Another thing you might want to consider in having a longer term pack 1 week+, a 3 day pack, and a one day kinda scout pack. That way you don’t have to lug around all that stuff if you don’t think you’ll be out in the field away from your MOB for long periods of time.
I have seen a lot of BOB's from tons of different videos on RUclips. At least a couple hundred. This is, without question, the most well thought out bag I've seen. I don't think I saw a trowel in there, though. I always have one in each bag. They come in handy quite a bit.
I'm making a small hatchet because i can , but here in Australia a machete is more useful. Could put several bandanas or a shemagh into the clean canteen to save space and filter debri when needed. Could have char cloth tin? Apologies if i missed yours. Forage pouch? Entrenching shovel? First aid here in Australia I'd have a snake bandage. Grayl? Love the twig stove i use one too. Wind up radio torch with solar charge?
Everybody has variations of equipment out side of the essentials , this is interesting as it changes from the landscape. On Shetland Islands UK ,shelter that can survive extreme wind & where to place it. You have to do practice runs ,to see what does & doesn't work. But always nice to see another Preppers ways of working, you can never know everything .
Enjoyed the video. Obviously you put a fair amount of thought into your pack. Long term bugging out is very difficult. If anyone was planning on that as a strategy my suggestions would be: 1. Get more skills to do more with less. 2. Place caches so many of your items are already stored thereby keeping your load light. 3. Lone wolfs have a lower chance of long term survival. Keep making good content.
This is my proven number one bag addition a large camelback water pack, where I added two inline water purification filters to the water line drinking tube.. I can have the capability to carry a partial filled or completely filled water supply with weight and need determining the amount until I find the “waterfall”.😂
Your iron sights are totally fine to keep in addition to some sort of magnified optic. That said, your iron sights are sitting way forward. They should be at the very back space of the rail, closer to your charging handle.
Love the kit buddy. Just fyi, you might want to open that cat tourniquet and stage it, if your hands are covered in blood its really tough to open and staging saves even more time
A good start.......But keep your secondary weapon on your person as well as your basic survival kit, including a multi-tool and your choice of fixed blade knife....it will save room in your pack. As others have said, the Life Straw is not the best choice but in a pinch it'll do. Again, keep it on your person. I would suggest a stiff MOLLE (surplus?) belt for your first line of items that will always be with you and lightweight to get you through. The rest of your pack is well thought out however with the above, you can fit a few more items in it to keep your morale up and you 🤙a bit more comfortable.
I can appreciate what you did here. My thought is that if you're really bugging out, then I'd think about an acog only because it illums without batteries and it's proven. Thanks for the vid, I enjoyed it and took some ideas from you!
Dryer lint works like magic. I have a couple of 1 gallon zip lock bags filled with dryer lint. Every time I do laundry, I fill up another baggie, and you can compress a boat load of it in a small sandwich baggie as well, and it weighs absolutely nothing. I shove a baggie of that stuff in every backpack and in truck and car. That stuff will light anything on fire. Give it a try.
Great presentation. Like the emphasis on your “AO” will dictate your kit and items. My experience ( retired Army 06) I carry a bag of Hershey’s dark chocolate nuggets. They are great moral boosters and can be shared. I pack 6 freeze dried meals and dried soups. This is a well done presentation
Great bag man ! I probably would add more ammo and type of small gun cleaning tools. Also I carry a bottle of caffeine pills like " no doze" or jet alert" for when you don't have time or can't stop to make coffee and lastly I carry some 91% rubbing alcohol for hygiene and many other uses. 1 more thing I would add that won't add weight or take up space is flie paper rolls for your tent make a.huge difference.
Not bad at all. You reminded me to vacuum seal my underwear and socks. It helps cut down on bulkiness and keeps them safely dry. I had forgotten that info. Thanks for the reminder. Again good setup on the BOB.
I really miss forums because they made it way easier to discuss things like this. But here are my thoughts. In the chest pack add a protractor and a ranging card, they weigh mothing and are very helpful for plotting a route. I know it doesnt weigh much, but the flat pack stoves are more for Bushcraft IMO. If the situation is bad enough for this type of system to be enacted, then ANY fire is a bad, visible fire. I would put the Baofeng on you chest pack. Its going to get more use there as opposed to the bag. A small PTT earpiece so you can listen to emergency channels without it being too loud. Depending on your location, having a gil net is far more productive than regular fishing. If the S has hit the F, then I'm imagining Game Wardens being a little busy. So its a good idea to know how to weave one, and how to make a shuttle to do so. Being in Idaho I would very much consider a better sleeping bag, as well as am air pad. A synthetic down quilt will pack down just as small, and be quite a bit warmer. You can make one yourself with a very basic sewing machine if you dont want to buy one. The freeze dried food is great, but youll run out. Dont forget some basics for baking, spices, and for food (meat) preservation. Also, a dehydrator and your left over spaghetti is cheaper, and just as small and light. I won't harp on the rifle because its been beat to death lol. But I will also add that NODs are a super power. You've got good gear, and a lot of money invested into it. A PVS 14 with a decent Tube can be had for $2-2500 and its literally a super power. Hopefully none of this comes off as rude, great video! Edit: MORE SOCKS! At least 2 more pair, and I hope those are nice wool socks.
I love your videos but i have 2 gripes to help you. One, your irons on your AR are not set up properly. No matter what anyone thinks. The front irons are meant to be as far up as it can go and the the rear irons are meant to be as far back as they go. Also, im an EMT. From what i saw in your medical kit, you need more trauma dressings. An Israeli bandage doesnt do anything but compress the wound and bandages so you dont have to do it yourseld. You need quick clot dressings and roller gauze at a minimum. Id also recomment some 4x4 gauze and one tourniquet per limb.
@@blakemendoza6529 thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely put more gauze in the med kit.. I was actually realizing that when I was watching the video myself.. 😆 as far as the iron sights, I put them on last minute, because I had just finished painting the rifle.. but that’s good advice! thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
@ stay safe out there man. You have been alot of my inspiration and help in my bug out/ prepper journey. Thank you for everything. Hopefully nothing serious comes out of this election or the days to follow so i can continue to enjoy your content. I also need more time to get my kit perfected 😂
You got skills with putting that intro together. Great job. The load out is pretty good. Probably would drop a few items to make room for the weight of a warmer sleeping bag. One item I've really come to like is my pack cover from Beez Combat Systems. They work very well. It'll give you better concealment when moving. I need to buy the second snare wire from you. And...thanks for reminding me about the trip wire. Have great week!
Great load out. Recommend taking out and staging that tourniquet so it’s ready to go when needed. Also, some Z packing gauze and two chest seals for entrance and exit wounds.
I noticed that the sling in question was unattended and as I'm a responsible person, took it upon myself to secure said item lest some incorrigible miscreant hereabouts and whereforeto might help themselves to it thereby depriving the rightful owner (gestures aside) that's you, of the hardearned and muchappreciated benefits that are inherently ascribed to the ownership of such a fine piece of accessoirage (Hands sling back whilst pilfering coin purse...) Backs away in mock obesience before legging it as only Jaaaack can. 🤣🤘
That's what my bug out bag looks like. Full size backpack, not one of those puny little get home trunk bags if i'm bugging out, i'm gonna be comfortable with all the creature comforts and plenty of food and ammo!
@@SubUrbanOutdoors-no2kp thank you very much, I appreciate that! I have a Rat-7 Ontario knife, and Tops B.O.B knife.. that I carried for awhile.. I just never really took to them very well.. I ended up deciding to replace the big chopper knives with a hatchet, and keeps small sharp knives for detail cutting and game processing.. it’s what makes sense for me lately.. anyways, thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Check out the BOLO Machete from CONDOR. It's what I have and use and its amazing. Got it when I lived in Hawaii cutting coconut trees and it the best I've ever had.
Good start to such a kit-how far do you train with that loadout? Are you physically able to carry all that gear 5 miles, 10 miles, 100+ miles, living in the bush for days, weeks etc? I realize the suck factor of inch or bug out, it’s both physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting, which can lead to many health issues depending on how long and far you have to spend “out there”.
Yes, I’m able to carry the gear five piles, the entire pack out weighs only 46 pounds.. a tiny bit over a quarter of my body weight.. I climb ladders all day for a living.. thanks for watching!
After watching the "Full Prepper Homestead Tour! Preppers Workshop - Food Pantry - Garden - Chicken Coop & More" video. I don't understand the Bugging out concept, unless it is a wildfire, or just a housefire situation. If so you may want to store your BOB's some where other than in the house. Thanks for the video.
well done, good gear... optics well try a low power (1 to 4) not something that works with only batteries like a red dot... great gear .. like the entry video well done once again
I know.. the rifle was a total afterthought when I was making the video.. I had just finished painting the rifle the day before and had removed the sling and sights.. I was more focused on the Bugout bag than the rifle.. fact is, making RUclips videos about bugging out and actually bugging out are two completely different worlds 🤫😆… thanks for watching!
If it's a bug out situation, would it really be a good idea to be listening to the radio while out walking? Would it not make more sense to have an ear plug so any possible enemies can't locate you from the sound of your radio?..
Yes, The batteries for the radios charge with cables that I keep in my kit. The solar battery charger works great, you can check it out here: amzn.to/4f9RtoC Thanks for watching!
@ sweet! I’ll check that stuff out. have the older beofeng UV5RE and I’ll have to look for the right cable! Sorry about bombarding you with questions tonight man!!!

Great video. Now do one where you pack n ruck for 2 toddlers and a wife!
Thats a video i have never seen, and from my own prepping, it seems almost impossible.
From the amount of calories needed to hygiene, to clothing, to sleep systems, to water, to medical, i dont think it can be done.

Some sort of cart with large wheels seems to be a good option. Those meant for bicycles is a good starting point.
With toddlers, i think of bugging out more like "can we survive a week in a hotel or community storm shelter" rather than "can we survive a week in the woods". So preps would include all the normal diaper bag necessities of toys and hygiene products but also snacks and hand warmers. A lot less cool than radios guns and firekits though.
The fantasy falls apart if you have kids. This stuff only works if it involves fit healthy adults.

Thank you kindly! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your kind words and support!
Just bought some waterproof covering for my Bic lighters - will not light when wet . This will work if you fall in a stream or pond .
Good stuff. Electrolyte packets might be a good addition.
It was five to one, i got FOUR of em.
Love the chesey monolog
Thanks.. and thanks for watching!
Thankyou for sharing.
That tinder, you can make a similar thing with petroleum jelly and cotton buds, for the poor folk.
Dryer lint works like magic. I have a couple of 1 gallon zip lock bags filled with dryer lint. Every time I do laundry, I fill up another baggie, and you can compress a boat load of it in a small sandwich baggie as well, and it weighs absolutely nothing. I shove a baggie of that stuff in every backpack and in truck and car. That stuff will light anything on fire. Give it a try.
@@JohnDoe-zg6fn I put my washing on a washing line. So no lint.
Awesome video! Loved the intro!! ❤
@@HomesteadHealing thanks babe!! 😍
With that music was just waiting for Lassie to come to the rescue!!
Great video thanks for sharing.
Thank you and Thanks for watching!
Great presentation. Like the emphasis on your “AO” will dictate your kit and items. My experience ( retired Army 06) I carry a bag of Hershey’s dark chocolate nuggets. They are great moral boosters and can be shared. I pack 6 freeze dried meals and dried soups. This is a well done presentation
How would you rate the solar charger you showed. How long does it take to charge other devices and how,long to fully charge itself?
Great bag man ! I probably would add more ammo and type of small gun cleaning tools. Also I carry a bottle of caffeine pills like " no doze" or jet alert" for when you don't have time or can't stop to make coffee and lastly I carry some 91% rubbing alcohol for hygiene and many other uses. 1 more thing I would add that won't add weight or take up space is flie paper rolls for your tent make a.huge difference.
Not bad at all. You reminded me to vacuum seal my underwear and socks. It helps cut down on bulkiness and keeps them safely dry. I had forgotten that info. Thanks for the reminder. Again good setup on the BOB.
I like that shiny hat and that red dawn music.
I really miss forums because they made it way easier to discuss things like this. But here are my thoughts.
In the chest pack add a protractor and a ranging card, they weigh mothing and are very helpful for plotting a route.
I know it doesnt weigh much, but the flat pack stoves are more for Bushcraft IMO. If the situation is bad enough for this type of system to be enacted, then ANY fire is a bad, visible fire.
I would put the Baofeng on you chest pack. Its going to get more use there as opposed to the bag. A small PTT earpiece so you can listen to emergency channels without it being too loud.
Depending on your location, having a gil net is far more productive than regular fishing. If the S has hit the F, then I'm imagining Game Wardens being a little busy. So its a good idea to know how to weave one, and how to make a shuttle to do so.
Being in Idaho I would very much consider a better sleeping bag, as well as am air pad. A synthetic down quilt will pack down just as small, and be quite a bit warmer. You can make one yourself with a very basic sewing machine if you dont want to buy one.
The freeze dried food is great, but youll run out. Dont forget some basics for baking, spices, and for food (meat) preservation. Also, a dehydrator and your left over spaghetti is cheaper, and just as small and light.
I won't harp on the rifle because its been beat to death lol. But I will also add that NODs are a super power. You've got good gear, and a lot of money invested into it. A PVS 14 with a decent Tube can be had for $2-2500 and its literally a super power.
Hopefully none of this comes off as rude, great video!
Edit: MORE SOCKS! At least 2 more pair, and I hope those are nice wool socks.
Great advice! Thanks for your support and thank you for watching!
My wife and I have been looking for land in Idaho for a while now, love you setup hope to a neighbor some day!
I love your videos but i have 2 gripes to help you. One, your irons on your AR are not set up properly. No matter what anyone thinks. The front irons are meant to be as far up as it can go and the the rear irons are meant to be as far back as they go. Also, im an EMT. From what i saw in your medical kit, you need more trauma dressings. An Israeli bandage doesnt do anything but compress the wound and bandages so you dont have to do it yourseld. You need quick clot dressings and roller gauze at a minimum. Id also recomment some 4x4 gauze and one tourniquet per limb.
@@blakemendoza6529 thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely put more gauze in the med kit.. I was actually realizing that when I was watching the video myself.. 😆 as far as the iron sights, I put them on last minute, because I had just finished painting the rifle.. but that’s good advice! thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
@ stay safe out there man. You have been alot of my inspiration and help in my bug out/ prepper journey. Thank you for everything. Hopefully nothing serious comes out of this election or the days to follow so i can continue to enjoy your content. I also need more time to get my kit perfected 😂
You got skills with putting that intro together. Great job. The load out is pretty good. Probably would drop a few items to make room for the weight of a warmer sleeping bag. One item I've really come to like is my pack cover from Beez Combat Systems. They work very well. It'll give you better concealment when moving. I need to buy the second snare wire from you. And...thanks for reminding me about the trip wire. Have great week!
Good tips! Thank you for watching and thank you for your support, I appreciate it!
Great load out. Recommend taking out and staging that tourniquet so it’s ready to go when needed. Also, some Z packing gauze and two chest seals for entrance and exit wounds.
28:00 This Lifestraw doesn't filter viruses, and that is a big problem.
Great intro. Ye old ambience was great !
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Thank you!!
Nice intro!
@@HomesteadEngineering thank you! 🙏
First thing I noticed, NO SLING , c-MON
@@ssniadach012 I’m in the market.. as it were! 😉
A pirate's of the Caribbean fan I see, he'll just take someone else's Sling, 🏴☠️
@@davidpaul7707 exactly! 🏴☠️
@@idahoprepperthat cracked me up 😂 definitely someone I could relate with
I noticed that the sling in question was unattended and as I'm a responsible person, took it upon myself to secure said item lest some incorrigible miscreant hereabouts and whereforeto might help themselves to it thereby depriving the rightful owner (gestures aside) that's you, of the hardearned and muchappreciated benefits that are inherently ascribed to the ownership of such a fine piece of accessoirage (Hands sling back whilst pilfering coin purse...)
Backs away in mock obesience before legging it as only Jaaaack can.
🤣🤘
Great channel. I have always wondered why hearing protection isn’t in most people’s bug out bags. 🤔
hell yeah
is very nice quebec canada
Good luck
@@shawnemery6476 thanks!
All fun till they shoot back
what do we do with young kids or adults with special needs .I've never seen any videos addressing this issue .
I enjoy your videos.
Wykyk. Background music. ❤
Rez Trapper bates his snares ,just like baiting your fish hook-works for him .
I got a kick out of that intro….thanks from 🏜️ Arizona
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching!
That's what my bug out bag looks like. Full size backpack, not one of those puny little get home trunk bags if i'm bugging out, i'm gonna be comfortable with all the creature comforts and plenty of food and ammo!
I share your philosophy! You’re going to need that comfort if you’re bugging out for a long time.. thanks for watching!
Take plastic off the TQ, add small bottle of oil olive or vegetable oil to add to meals to increase calories.
😁😁😁😁😁😁nice always prepared...me too same
And all that molle, go grey, be unnoticed
Outstanstanding!
One recommendation Esee jungles or Kabar kukri machete. You must have a bigger blade
@@SubUrbanOutdoors-no2kp thank you very much, I appreciate that! I have a Rat-7 Ontario knife, and Tops B.O.B knife.. that I carried for awhile.. I just never really took to them very well.. I ended up deciding to replace the big chopper knives with a hatchet, and keeps small sharp knives for detail cutting and game processing.. it’s what makes sense for me lately.. anyways, thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Good post 😊
Check out the BOLO Machete from CONDOR. It's what I have and use and its amazing. Got it when I lived in Hawaii cutting coconut trees and it the best I've ever had.
@@idahoprepper no problem. I enjoy the channel
Move your rear iron sight back to over the charging handle. Suggest you get a decent red dot as well. Sig Romeo 5 starts around 100 dollars.
Awesome video. It's hard to find HK USP holsters, without spending a lot. I recently got the (universal) Condor for mine and I'm very satisfied.
@@fronttowardenemy4175 it definitely is, I had to settle for a serpa, and a basic kydex press mold.. thanks for watching!
Unfortunately I can’t bug out so I will have to put up a good fight in a SHTF scenario.
Good start to such a kit-how far do you train with that loadout? Are you physically able to carry all that gear 5 miles, 10 miles, 100+ miles, living in the bush for days, weeks etc? I realize the suck factor of inch or bug out, it’s both physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting, which can lead to many health issues depending on how long and far you have to spend “out there”.
Yes, I’m able to carry the gear five piles, the entire pack out weighs only 46 pounds.. a tiny bit over a quarter of my body weight.. I climb ladders all day for a living.. thanks for watching!
This was way better than the remake of Red Dawn 😂. Love the videos, when you gonna do another live stream?
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Glad you enjoyed the video! Hopefully I’ll be doing a live stream soon! Thanks again for watching!
After watching the "Full Prepper Homestead Tour! Preppers Workshop - Food Pantry - Garden - Chicken Coop & More" video. I don't understand the Bugging out concept, unless it is a wildfire, or just a housefire situation. If so you may want to store your BOB's some where other than in the house. Thanks for the video.
Yes, the Bugout scenario would more than likely be extremely rare.. it’s more for creating content than anything! Thanks for watching!
The bright hat is a nice touch so people can find you
@@johnjacobs3160 thanks! 😉
I would recommend the Tasmanian Tiger Mil Ops 80+24 or Raid Pack MK3, they are a bit expensive but good quality has its price :)
well done, good gear... optics well try a low power (1 to 4) not something that works with only batteries like a red dot... great gear .. like the entry video well done once again
33:19 I would use vacuum seal bags made for luggage that you would be able to reuse again instead of the vacuum seal bags
Well, I would carry the Mora Garberg, but that's just my personal preference. I also have a Cold Steel " Survivor " that I would carry in my ruck.
I think the only thing really missing would be a sling for the rifle
One of the best ones Ive seen. I would put toilet roll in though🍑
What? no battle belt! Nothing like watching the last episode first
Cool story , bro. Nice music, too. But what exactly are you doing? 🤣 🤣 🤣
Making a RUclips video! Thanks for helping it grow! 😉
Whats with the BUIS placement and no sling on the rifle?
The Red Dawn beginning and music throughout is great!
I know.. the rifle was a total afterthought when I was making the video.. I had just finished painting the rifle the day before and had removed the sling and sights.. I was more focused on the Bugout bag than the rifle.. fact is, making RUclips videos about bugging out and actually bugging out are two completely different worlds 🤫😆… thanks for watching!
If it's a bug out situation, would it really be a good idea to be listening to the radio while out walking? Would it not make more sense to have an ear plug so any possible enemies can't locate you from the sound of your radio?..
I guess that would depend on the situation? Thanks for watching!
Add a silk liner for the sleeping bag that gives extra warmth just case you cannot light a fire in v cold weather
@@BlesamaSoul good tip! Thanks for watching!
Bro bro, dont worry about your food selection, you got a pew pew, hey hippie give me all your mountain house, Hoo-Yah
Put some frog fuel in your bag.
@@kevinrandall1213 I’ll look into it! Thanks for watching!
How do you recharge the radio with the panel? Wicked cool idea! What solar battery pack is yours?
Yes, The batteries for the radios charge with cables that I keep in my kit. The solar battery charger works great, you can check it out here: amzn.to/4f9RtoC
Thanks for watching!
@ sweet! I’ll check that stuff out. have the older beofeng UV5RE and I’ll have to look for the right cable! Sorry about bombarding you with questions tonight man!!!
Put that tourniquet in your chest rig or somewhere you can reach it with minimal effort. If you need it, you'll want it asap.
