I never get tired of these type of videos. I learn something every time.

Me too dude, maybe never will happen anything, but it is ok to be prepared
You're never gonna have a car accident, either, so may as well save your cash-- spend it on an GHB.
@@knokname6466 In Argentina is very normal to have a car accident

I'll
I also recommend that the bag in car get check yearly. I just checked my bag and it’s been 3 years since I checked it and found from the heat being in car during summer that things melted
This. You just shouldn't store batteries in the car long term. ESPECIALLY if you're in the south. They will corrode *so fast*
You need to check it more frequently than that. Some things like first aid supplies don't like heat. What you carry varies with the season & weather.
Check car stuff seasonally. Heat in the South, snow in the North. Murder on food, water, and electronics. 6 months is what I aim for, and teach, but any time I pop the trunk I visually inspect my bags. Over the years we have gotten more use out of our "Tornado Bags". A modified overnight bag packed for 3 days. Something I can walk through a hotel lobby without a second glance.
FanofRUclips, check it no less than every 3-6 months.
What is the brand of the bag you’re using and what is the capacity? Thanks.
Good video! Thanks!
I'm in PA and I have a separate pouch in my GHB that has season items. I swap out summer/winter pouches around the time we change the clocks to/from DST. --just my 2 cents
Take care & God bless!
Great video, but I think a lot of people underestimate the food. Sure, you can live 3 weeks without food, but if you’re walking many miles a day, building shelters, cutting wood, running from bad situations, under stress , ect, I think you need a lot more food, to keep your strength up. Just my opinion. Plus, if it takes me 2 days to walk home, I add one more day, in case of injury, weather, having to take an alternate route.
Good point ! If you've watched any of the "survival" shows on TV, everyone is gung ho during the first couple days, UNTIL they can't find food. Then, malnutrition starts to take its toll.
Spot on brother. I like to carry at least a couple powerbars and some of those nutritional drinks. Even a bag of beef jerky is better than nothing.
The best 'get home' bag in the real world would contain:
1. A decent amount of cash say £/$200.
2. A large capacity good quality USB powerbank for your phone
3. A spare pair(s) of underpants and socks
4. Hygiene stuff like soap, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush etc.
5. A good raincoat
6. Some sort of jumper/sweatshirt
7. Spare pair of practical shoes/boots
8. High visibility jacket
9. High visibility umbrella
10. Headlight (USB chargeable)
Great kit Sootch....I have a "minimalist" get home/survival kit in my work bag. My work bag is a 5.11 Rush 12. My GH/survival kit is a Wal-mart fanny pack based of the rule of 3s and 5 Cs of survival for basic needs. I work at a Hospital-based EMS agency as a Critical Care Paramedic so if something should happen I can utilize my rig to get home OR pack what I need in my backpack and abandon it and walk out.
I like incognito bags more then the tactical camo (more of a blend in with everyone else philosophy), other then that spot on! Like the maps idea and not relying 100% on technology.
A walk thru the local college indicates there are more camo colored bags than other colors, with black and green close behind.
@Steffan Boner True that desperate people would take whatever, but I'd rather look like random office guy trying to get home than a mercenary IMHO
@@ed4253 There's actually some debate over whether the gray man look will help you or hurt you. Canadian Prepper did a video on it and between his theory and the arguments in the comment section, some very good points were made on both sides.
Anybody with a backpack would be a target no matter what color it is.
Adding a small zip tie around the button of the bic lighter prevents your lighter from losing its fuel and can be removed and replaced once zipped, clipping the extra length makes it a little sharp though can be filed to prevent cuts. Plus the adhesive sticker is also flammable, once you have a empty lighter if the wheel is removed slowly the springs can be made into a snare & fishing hook and the childproof metal can be removed and can also be made into a fishing hook.
I absolutely love these videos Sir, These vids are the reason I subbed your channel 6yrs ago. I have to say since joining your channel I have learned so much on self defense and survival that I was able to share with my family. And for that, I just want to thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us. Most importantly I want to thank you for all the hard work you do to protect our 2nd. Keep up the great work and I can't wait for the next video. Hope you have a great day
i think a lot of people make the mistake of loading a pack and going years without checking it for defects great vid buddy
"... make the mistake of loading a pack and going years without checking it for defects..." Or actually testing it by using it a few times.
Also, check expiration dates. Last night I went through my original bag. I didn't think it was *that* long ago I put it together...but I found painkillers & antibiotic wipes with expiration dates of 2015 🙄
My get home bag is set up similar, also in a direct action dust pack.
At 6:13 Those little Advil bottles don't carry anywhere near capacity that they're able to, open that up and fill it from a larger bottle you can carry 8-10 more pills.
762x35mm There is no evidence of that... There is a study that claims that high doses of Ibuprofen over a long period might MIGHT affect fertility but one study doesn't prove anything.
Another great video. My EDC/Get Home bag is just under 10lbs minus water. I keep everything in the internal mesh & external pockets leaving the main compartment empty for work or bug out situations. The bug out items are in 3 cubes I can quickly stow in the main compartment and go.
Here are a couple of ideas for a follow up: bag organisation, beaver tails, weight distribution, understanding how and when to use add-ons including D-rings, bungy cord etc. Shoes, preparation, fitness, a lot of people have the basics but do not understand anything beyond that. Another big thing is the concept of families, the dynamics in such a situation are completely different to surviving on your own. Oh, and you should have money in your SHTF bag, that could buy you food or shelter.
Long live the republic!!!!! Hell yes!!!
I'm a subscriber now. Great to see another Patriot of this country!!
I do enjoy these videos though I am always concerned when I see the smallest pack possible stuffed to the brim with gear. Wouldn't it be better to use a larger pack leaving space for things like scavenged items or clothing?
I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and I have learned so much. I feel safer with my wife and three kids because of you. Your stuff is amazing. Thank you for what you do. We live in uncertain times but your presence makes me feel like I’m prepared for more than the average person. God Bless you.
I work 45 mins by car away from home..and once I'm in town 10 mins from my second place I stay..this helped me alot!! Thank you so much..just found your channel. I watched others but your bag I liked the best plus only being 13 lbs me as a woman I could handle that :) New subscriber , thank you again.
Put amazon affiliate links in the description for your items. I like the idea of color coding similar items. Red pouch for fire kit, Blue pouch for water kit, etc.
Michael Chase
Methinks if you require problem solving for survival, your bloodline will end. An observation.
TheUrbanPrepper has a few videos on colour coding items.
Politically Unreliable What is wrong with the idea of color coding? I think in a true SHTF situation anything that can make life easier or reduce mistakes would be worth it.
I think it's a good idea. My only concern is if you get too organized, if you drop something like your fire pouch, or someone takes it or you leave it at the last place you used it, you just lost every way you had to light a fire. I think it's good for some items to be redundant and mixed up a little. No use in having 5 lighters all in the same pouch that you dropped
Thanks buddy, your videos have helped me a lot in building my packs. I just finished building a 72 hour bug out bag for my wife and I. Last week I finished my get home bag. Lots of things to prepare for and I have taken many of your suggestions.
"Alright guys, this is just a simple bag with the essentials needed to get you home"
*pulls ham radio out of EMP proof bag*
Don't forget the sensible $600 thermal imaging sight.
A sensible prepper would not listen to this guy.. he will get you killed in a SHTF situation...
I have a JanSport bag and a ham sandwich in it
I guess it depends on how long/under what circumstances it will take for you to get home. I tend to stay local, so it should only take me a few hours to walk home. I don't have a ham radio in my get home bag, but I do have a an emergency radio. If I happen to notice people running around screaming in terror, I'd like to have access to the news to find out wtf is going on.
These videos are always so refreshing and a reminder to be prepared for anything.Thanks for always making your videos
Instead of using vasoline on the cotton balls, you can use a triple antibiotic ointment like neosporine. Dual purpose and will light just as well as the vasoline.
I keep dryer lint as a fire starter. Its fee, you can fit some in the end of a flashlight, and its highly flammable
This video is generally geared towards men, but as a suburban woman...I have a pair of comfortable sneakers and socks in my bag. If something happened while I was out to dinner or at work and I had to hoof it...I wouldn’t want to be wearing heels. Tell your ladies...it’s a must have.
I’m a mom of three one of which is my 85year old mother. And I have learned so much from your videos. I now have a bug out bag even for her needs and one in my husband’s car and mine. Thank you
Sootch00, I can not say enough about your most informative channel. As a U.S. Army Veteran I understand the need to maintain a ready mindset. You provide the proper information in the correct way. Thank you!!
The flir scout is what I need. Where do I get one ?
Indio rodriguez
Google it.

No matter how many of these I watch, I always pick up some new idea when I watch the next one. Well done!
Surprised you don't have a tactical golf cart for SHTF.
I need a complete list of all of the components and the bag!
A most excellent video! You, sir, are a High Quality Patriot!
I could watch your videos on this subject over and over! And I am
Your awesome! I’m going to keep supporting your channel.
I always enjoy your videos. They are very informative and I also like your humor. Pleasant to watch.
Great video! Vehicle gear/ Get Home Bags are one of my favorite topics
The only things I dont have in my bag is the plastic tarp for ground cover the saw and the firearm. I also need to replace is my KIND bars. Almost forgot, I dont have a bivy but I do have a poncho liner. I carry a multitool two knives normally but I have a Kershaw in my bag and will add my Gerber Strongarm to it soon. Thanks for this video now I know I'm on the right track.
Spencer 7445 Agreed! However, I just left the slave state of NJ and before I buy a firearm now I have to wait until Sept before I can attempt it. I have myself set.
Dam bro if there was a end of the world thing going on i would want to be in my group, when the SHTF. I always find something in your backpacks that i have forgot to get in my SHTF backpacks. Another awesome video Sootch00 and long live the republic.
Good bag, one of the best I've seen. I would not keep all of my fire starters in one kit; what if you lose it?
I have run similar bags for a long time but i have to say you have more than 6 ways to start a fire there and you could certainly tighten up the bag and cut down on some weight. But that is semantics of survival. Great kit overall especially if you were to divide up your bag with other travelers
I carry a bag to work with me.
I can carry that bag with me anyplace and survive a few days with what i have in it.
But my camping and hiking bag has different stuff in it then my everyday carry bag.
I have 6 backpacks.
A medium and big bag for camping and hiking.
One for my motorcycle.
One for the gym. The gym one had to be a pacific size to fit in the gym locker.
One for traveling to visit people.
One i just keep all my knives in when not in use.
Got my olight pl mini in the mail yesterday...
I love it......
Nice. Good to hear these reminders periodically. Thanks.
Thank you for all the content over all these years seriously thank you Don
love these vids. need to set up a bag for my truck
Amen Brother !👍🏻🇺🇸 - don’t skimp on medical people !
Great video man thanks there are only about 2 of the items you listed here that I don't have in my bag yet. My wife and i both commute 15 miles daily and i view our bags as shelter inplace survival supplies and get home bags.
In a SHTF situation, all I really have is a couple guns for able bodied people in the group of family I can get to and tons of ammo and cleaning supplies. This is a good eye opener of other things I need to assess and start slowly buying. If i got stranded in my car tomorrow bullets wont carry me home
Great looking bag. I just got my $200 order of Olight flashlights from the link you posted last week. I have had a chance to play around with all the flashlights and they're all fantastic. I'm all stocked up on lights now!
At the end of the day there's no room for error. Everything has a purpose... just me. Good video thank you.
Throw that FLIR in the faraday bag it could be a life saver. I do with mine.
I love my Stanley 15-333 saw. I keep a variety of blades in the handle so I can take care of everything from wood and plastic to metal.
ive got a fenix hp30 (the old hp30 only 900 lumins on boost mode) head lamp, takes 18650s ans has a usb port for charging stuff
Hey Sootch. Have you ever considered a vacation/oversees bag? I'm stationed in Italy, so the rules here in Europe are definitely different. Haha. I use a Loctote slash proof bag every time we step out as a get home bag. It's great because the pickpockets here are horrible.
Always good to take a look through these vids and see what your missing in your own bag. I really need to change out my bag itself, that’s on the list next personally
An hour away from home equals a 3 day pack. I work an hour from home, and my get home bag reflects it. Nice video. Does the Flir need to be in a faraday bag?
How slow do you walk?
An hour from home is about 25 miles where i live. One way is traffic and lower speed limits, the other ways are low mountains with curvy roads (and traffic)
The hills here would be killer though. I'm putting better shoes in the trunk
Always a valuable stop at the SensibelPrepper.
I have the DUST in my truck at all times, excellent get home bag option. and I love the admin section, it has the pockets in the right places with the clear map pocket, it's just awesome!
Great video - love that bag - laser cut molle looks sharp!
FLIR is an outstanding idea!
And I never go out deep without my shortwave radio.
Keep up the good work.... good gear, good advice.
Great video! thanks.
A good addition that I do is to put the car bags into a wet bag. I keep the wet bag whenever I actually use my get home bag as they come in handy as well. Also I check these setups at least twice a year. Don't skimp on the checkups... if you do you will leave yourself asking why you made the thing in the first place!
A nice set up. I do haveA couple of things I would suggest adding: a good pair of hiking shoes/boots strapped to the outside of your bag, Chemical glow sticks, and mosquito netting to go over your hat and to cover you while you sleep. Thanks for sharing.
Love get home bag videos, always nice to see what other guys are using!
Love this channel so much good content!
Another OUTSTANDING video Sootch00!!!
Great video. I do have one suggestion; an AK bayonet. In addition to being a fixed blade knife, the real utility of this is that it has a built in wire cutter when used with the scabbard. Most highways have some form of wire fencing about ten or twenty yards from the berm to keep people and animals from wandering onto the road. In an emergency, the fencing also keeps you on the road or right next to it, unless you can get through it, and since most of the wire is rusty, you need to cut it rather than climb over it and risk injury. Thus, the wire cutter utility on the bayonet and scabbard. Plus, you have a saw on the back, which supplements the folding saw you already have in the pack.
Kurt Feltenberger- Your idea is a good one, your specific recommendation is a bad one. I have to echo Michael Warnock on this one. Comm Bloc bayonets with wire cutters suck. Better to purchase a dedicated wire cutting tool or short handle bolt cutters if you want that capability in your kit.
In Arizona we dont have chainlink its mostly open or barbed wire of course if you go off the road your ending up in the sand or off in a big ass canyon
I recommend the Anker brand battery banks. I live in South Texas where heat within cars will melt crayons together. My Anker 20,100 mAh keeps its charge and can charge my phone from 10% to 100%about 5 times.
Great bag and gear choices! Thank you for sharing, and keep up the good work!
Awesome. Thank you for the info!
You should start selling a Sensible Prepper fully furnished bag
13:22 If I'm carrying a gun in a truly SHTF scenario and some cop tries to arrest me for it instead of focusing their attention and energy on actually helping someone, that would be a serious miscalculation on their part. :/
One thing I never notice on many edc/bug out/ get home bag setups is cpr masks. I Carry one in my bag all the time. One that fits infants and adults . I also carry my fire kit in a Plano watertight/ waterproof case in case of heavy rain. Love your vids sootch, faithful subscriber always watching 👍🏻
Good stuff! I carry a lot of the same items in mine. Also have a solar charger for electronics. And sunblock!! Thanks again for the great vids!
I make sure my car is mechanically sound .I have two spares tires and always try to have a full tank of gas .Try to leave work as soon as possible if something is going down .I live less than ten miles from home but I still want to beat as much traffic as I can .Have multiple routes to get home . I'm going to drive as much as I can until to the road is impassable.Then I walk or have a bicycle in the trunk with my gear .
Qould you ever consider trail runners/shoes over boots for SHTF? Or would you always choose some kind of boot?
Nice video!!
I have that exact same backpack and it is amazing!! You can fit so many things in there it's insane. Very well made.
Thank you for your content. How is that LAPG Bail out bag holding up?
Muchas Gracias
Even for people who aren't quite ready to embrace a bug out/WROL type scenario, a GHB has always struck me as such a sensible idea. It's great insurance and depending on how you set it up, it it can come in handy for situations that are more common than a full blow disaster/emergency. I keep mine in my car and have had mechanical break downs, had to unexpectedly spend the night in town or simply forgot some critical piece of gear on a hiking trip. My point is that while I pray I'll never have to use my GHB for its intended purpose, it's already saved my bacon on a number of occasions. Mine's a bit more civvie/grey man oriented than yours Don, but you've given me some new things to think about and I always appreciate that you help raise awareness of the need to prepare for the unexpected. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you.
I'm about to take on a new role, which will see me on the road, more. This was a great reminder that I'll need to update my GHB.
Thanks, for another great video.
Thanks for sharing. I rec carrying pepper spray, for dogs and people. Very effective and I have used it twice while on walks (carry after I was bitten by a dog). Also for people to carry the bag on long walks and spend the night in your yard or wherever, using what you have.
Dollar Tree sells the multi pupose towels.
Thanks Don and God bless.
What do you do when family members dismiss food shortage possibility? I put together fantastic bugout bag for grandson to trek 30 miles from city out to my full-stocked country home in case of total shutdown where I couldn't pick him up; after he took all, he said IF something like that happened he would stay in city where it would be safer from roaming robbers and more supplies available. I don't know but something tells me he'll just sell the solo stove bundle, solar charger, etc., etc., all off.
You should do a review of the firebox stove, American made and folds up to a very small package. I'm telling you those stoves are a great backpack option.
I carry a smaller bag just because I wanted something that fit in my motorcycle trunk case. I typically keep my gun in my bag since 99% of the time, I'm driving to and from work and I can't carry at work. I also keep an overnight hygiene kit, and extra cash with the mindset that if I'm forced to stay overnight somewhere, I can keep a low profile and not have to use plastic. Great video.
Great get-home kit, Don! I like the suggestions for FLIR & HAM radio.
I keep my fire kit in a small Pelican Case...it’s the 1010 I think. It definitely keeps water out!
Very good, thank you very much
You need to check out the TRD, Tactical Rope Dispenser by Atwood Rope. They make paracord in the US and make the TRD with a cutting blade in it. you can refill it as needed and operate it with one hand.
Have you considered doing a segment on how you rig your get home gear? Like my bag has a few things that in need those items come out of the bag and go on my person. Hat, gloves, scarf, a few belt items, boots, if I happen to be wearing sneakers. Does that make sense?
for a fixed blade knife compact size i highly recommend sog seal pup elite or kabar usmc small. kababar is best bang for buck and highly durable. the regular seal pup knives were great but they are now manufactured in china. the ones like elite series are still good.
Well done sootch00
You’ve got more stuff than I have in my ditch bag and my flight gear. You should be a PR in the Navy. Great video
WHOA! Thanks. I've watched many of your videos, but this is there first time that I recall hearing about Survival Dispatch...great videos on there...THANKS! Also....I went online to check out the Flir thermal imager....$$$$$$...too pricy for my GHB and it makes me wonder. Would you please calculate the price tag on your bag? How much wold it cost someone to put together a GHB just like yours??? Thank you!
What brand bag is this? I like the waterproof pocket upfront where the map is kept
Well done, great video...I was thinking about packing some super glue...if you have a wound that needs stitches this stuff works great sealing up the cut until you can get help.
Thank you Don, God bless.
Would love to obtain my CCL. But, in MD they make you take the class first, THEN decide if you're eligible. It's totally backwards! You can spend all that time and money, just for then to decline you. Totally ridiculous!!
Fonzy Brookstone- I completely sympathize with you there in MD. I lived in VA for many years and we shook our heads in dismay at Maryland and its a decidedly left-leaning, anti-2nd amendment legislation and regulation. MD is a "May Issue" state, as apposed to a "Shall issue" state. As in most "May Issue" states, it is effectively a "No issue" state for anyone not a judge, state or federal legislator, or retired cop in excellent standing. You are correct to be outraged sir. MD is an amazing and beautiful state. I love to visit, and I do so legally. I don't carry there. It drives me crazy but I don't. I don't stay long either. I couldn't live there. Vote with your feet my friend. Get OUT of there. The only people armed-up and ready when the SHTF occurs are the criminals, gangs and law enforcement. The rest of you in MD will be caught in the middle. Be safe. Do what you deem best for you and yours. Via con Dios. +
Put the FLIR in the Faraday bag if you want it to work.
