Folks that NEED glasses should keep a spare set with their bag , also if you expect to go through woods, get the safety side shields for your glasses. I also keep a brand new set of insoles for my shoes.
I'd like to add a couple things to this great video: 1. Setup two dates (fall and spring) to review the contents of the kit and make sure that everything is still good to go. Things do go wrong and I've seen batteries leak, seals fail, etc. 2. Verify expiration dates and ensure that everything has at least two years left. I was out with a friend and had a headache and they dug through the first aid kit they kept in the car for some aspirin...that had expired five years earlier. 3. Just like the tag on the cape warns, "Possession of cape does not convey the ability to fly", so to, possession of all these items does not confer the ability to use them or even understand how they are supposed to be used. At the very least, seek a good trauma medicine course and if you can, a basic bushcraft course that will teach how to live outside in an emergency.
I live in a small apartment which doesn't have much room for storing a lot of emergency items. This video has given me a great alternative to use in a small living space, thank you.
Here is a Katrina tip for home !!!! For light, almost everyone had solar sidewalk lights and they are cheap put out in the day bring them in at night, put back out in they day, pet and kid friendly, they can also recharge rechargeable batteries if you have enough AA Great video !! as always !!
I have seen solar stake lights at Dollar Tree and the garden supply section at Target, I don't know how good the Dollar Tree ones are but I have thought about buying some in addition to having flashlights
I’ll go one further to turn that light into a low power spotlight. A perfect example is the old railway inspection lanterns. They had a bowl shape behind with a reflector and a shroud around the lantern glass that would reflect the light back out in one direction. You can make an improvise directional lantern by taking your solar light or lamp and putting a plastic or disposable bowl lined with Something reflective like foil and put it behind the light and fasten it with tape, para cord etc. to make a directional light or lamp.
Cash. If the power and/or communications are down you won't be able to use plastic for gas, food/water, repair items, hotel, etc. Always a good idea to have some cash with you.
I agree. Just make sure that you keep the cash in lower denominations such as quarters, one dollar bills, five dollar bills, 10 and $20 bills. I wouldn’t go above $20 bills because it’s going to be very hard to break them in certain situations and also people are going to be eyeing you up because they think you’ve got lots of cash if your carry-on around something bigger than a $20 bill. It’s not just common sense it’s also OPSEC
I'd like to recommend a red filter for a flashlight. In a military-type situation, you might not want to reveal your position. It also preserves your dark adaptation at night. I think this is a major oversight in prepper/survival kits.
You can have a small cheap flashlight dedicated to this purpose you can buy them for a couple of dollars at places like Walmart or even the dollar store. Just take a red permanent marker and you can actually color the lens yourself. I’ve done it. If you’re just smart and you’re on a tight budget you can come up with all kinds of ideas.
This is something that I have seen a thousand times and will never understand, why would you use a RED lens to avoid detection by other people when RED is one of the colors that is most easily seen by the human eye?? There is a reason that red is used for brake lights on vehicles and blinky lights on emergency vehicles, you can spot a red light from space!
I was in the U.S. Army. We had a very devout Atheist in my platoon. Even he appreciated when we prayed. Sometimes he would even show up with his head bowed before we left for our assigned duties. Maybe in reality there are no Atheist in foxholes.
I would add antibacterial hand gel. The knife is cool but would recommend more of a bushcraft style like an ESEE. Some type of eye protection. A good local or state map of area and a compass. Superglue is handy and would have it with my med kit. Good video!
As always, another great video! Congrats from a Brazilian fan! This notion of preparedness is just beginning to catch on down here. Your videos on the matter really makes a difference. Thank you Sir!
Yo have you made one yet? I want to make one but I just dont know what to put in one even though I watched multiple videos. I thought about buying one but they seem real expensive and stuff that I wouldn't need
@@Monztuh yes it took me some time I keep adding things here and there it's really up to you and what you think your going to need I've watch lots of vids and take a little from here and there.
Great video! I keep female large max maternity pads in my kits. Good for large wounds, cuts, or if you have females with you that may need them. Good multi purpose item.
Great video and primer on 72-hour preparedness! A few things I would like to add to this: Duct tape/Gorilla tape can be used as a fire starter. Adding an iso-prop canister and burner will let you boil water quickly for dehydrated meals/coffee/tea. Add a multi-tool on top of the fixed blade for scissors, pliers, and similar. Add gas mask/surgical mask/face masks to keep safe in adverse conditions. Compass and maps of your local area in case you need to leave your immediate area. Store your important documents in a waterproof bag like a locsac. That's just a few things I'd add to this kit to ensure I have the right tools for an emergency.
Sootch, I have been watching your vids for years, and never get tired of hearing your spin on so many subjects. You always find a way of enlightening me on doing something different or reassessing my gear. My sincere thanks for your high quality work.
As an army medic I’m so happy to see you cover the poncho liner or most known as the woobie. Although you should edit and add that the woobie isn’t completely waterproof. It is slightly water resistant for a short amount of time but not water proof
Good video. Where I live we lose power frequently. I would recommend having a Kerosene heater and Mr Heater propane heater. Also a butane stove would be handy for brewing coffee - I love coffee. :-)
@Jeff Jeff porn magazines would be a prime material to trade with other people, or for your own entertainment, but with that you need a lot of tissues.
Today in Houston we had a massive explosion caused by an industrial accident, hundreds of home become instantly unlivable and this just highlights the importance of being prepared.
Redundancy and tools that have more than one use and multiple uses, not just one and done. Good quality equipment. Another great video brother keep up the good work.
I've recently added plastic bags in a zip lock with a couple 6 mil bags in a bigger zip lock bag. Grab a few (6) brand new walmart bags next time you self checkout and fold em tight into a smaller than sandwich sized ziplock.
I've given up on using large plastic containers for storing water. Eventually, they all crack and leak water. I use 3 gallon-sized glass carboys for water storage. Sure, they'll crack if you drop them on a cement floor. If they are kept in a safe storage place, where they won't fall on the floor, they won't deteriorate over time and leak.
Home protection maybe more important that bugout... Bugin provisions. Surge Protector to go alone with the extension cord. During emergencies, power will fluctuate... Brown outs, on/off which will damage electronics. SP can protect those items. Keep an extra Propane tank for the grill, swap it out, refill and have on hand. Scraps of cloth and sail needle. Etc. Peace of mind, what you don't have you will need.
I'd also recommend a copy of your social security card and driver's license, along with cash and a credit/debit card. Also copies of family photos or other momentos. There's a chance that if there's an emergency situation you might never get to go back to your home, or it might be destroyed, so you'll be glad to have those things!
Just found your channel. Getting my families bug out bag ready. This is what we are going to do today for fun to be prepared just in case. This is great knowledge to know. Thanks.
Those dehydrated meals in the bag, you can pour your hot water into the bag, stir, sit for a few minutes (directions on package) and eat out of the pack. Works great 👍🏼
Absolutely. You can even rehydrate those with room-temperature water, if you don't want to make fire/use up more resources. Just soak for 40 minutes instead of the usual 20, and you're set.
I included some medications like allergy meds, aspirin, tylenol and even caffeine tablets to keep you going and alert if you need energy. I want to keep everything in one bag and one location. One bag means I can just grab it if I have to leave or if I have to stay put I can just go to it instead of hunting around. I've already been through three disasters and no kit. At least I survived and it's a miracle I did.
just want to tell you guys, i live in denmark , and i have been prpping for many years and stayed prpared , , n and been laugth of , by as they say hoard food and item for use to emergency , i want to tell you i have the greates respect for you , and have been learning from , as we now are closed down, i feel safe and so happy i have been prepared to deal with a crises like that , even for my pets i have gatheret food suplies for we can survieve for 6 month , be blessed and stay safe ,
Contractor bags excellent is that a cover for the Bic lighter never seen that before Once watched a homeless person pouring down rain 40 degrees he wrapped up in a blanket pulled a contractor bag over the blanket up to his chest leaned up against a store and was happy as could be I bought him a large coffee but I never go anywhere without the bags.
I remember 30 years ago when the "prepper" philosophy was becoming better known. Several vendors began to market 72-hour kits. It's a good idea to have such a kit.
I wear everyday a Paracord bracelet. It's only 3 feet but the bracelet also has a compass and safety whistle. Useful if building collapsed or I was trapped or great if signalling.
I love that all these cool and totally essential things are in the bag. And then I go to find how much they cost and it's like $500! Sometimes I think survival is for the rich.
That roll pack looks very similar to Canadian Prepper 1’s Survival roll but on a smaller scale... His is different in that you can purchase items to use in his or just buy it empty and add your own items...
Flares must have flares in your emergency kit used for signaling for Help At Night or starting a fire in a blizzard or in really damp or pouring down rain! Flares are a must-have item!
I even made a flood emergency kit including two x 2 person rafts (big sale on Amazon, couldn't resist) SOS flashing light coast guard approved, insulated PFD etc. I even got a PDF for the cat, ha! Canadian winters can be boring and Amazon is opened on the next tab and I figured a good tsunami kit in the middle of the continent might come in handy.
Completely awesome video so much thanks for taking the time. survivalists are awesome!!! Because of where we are located we don't have to worry so much about the cold temperatures is not good to get cold but we're not going to freeze to death one of the things that I'm adding seeds if I have to bug out I'm going to take that I think one of the things about survival is acknowledging our strong points and our weaknesses and so that's what I'm trying to do a tool that I can and who's on our team obviously and what their strong points or weaknesses are. :)
If you are going to pack an MRE to keep it handy COMBAT FIELD STEIP the sucker to reduce the space it takes up. RUclips has many videos on the subject.
i triredd space blankets they dont workk but if coupled with shower curtain ro trashbag or polyester fleeced item help also hot helps 50 percent of body heat
I split my kit in three places and have multiple items in my outbuildings as well as my home. Reason. what if the house collapses? I'm stuffed? This also includes multiple sleepling bags and vacuum sealed packs of clothing
Something to mention about the Backpacker's Pantry or Mountain House food. You don't need heat with them. You can put cold water in, and they will rehydrate, but it takes longer.
I think the lifeboat rations are often underrated. The ability to eat them little and often, quietly and with no smell maybe on a bus or train. Having to cook your meals i.e mountain house is a pain in my view
Currently putting together a bob/ghb together for myself and my gf. Never know when shtf is going to happen, and I'd rather have us be prepared than not. Doing @ least 3 days woth of shirts, a pair of pants and a pair of shorts in my bag, and a good amount of socks.
My apartment power kept on going out last Christmas and I had to have a maintenance person go down in the locked basement electrical room to flip the breaker back on (since resolved with new parts). So about then I realized that I had no way to keep my food cold. So off to the hardware store to get a long extension cord to run out into the hallway while I was gone to work and then out of town. Luckily I have all my camping and hunting stuff for lights and staying warm but I did end up buying an extra headlamp, a space heater, and a battery powered lamp. Another thing you could add to a kit would be a propane cylinder powered Mr. Buddy type heater for cold weather areas. Get one with a carbon monoxide detector built in so you don't die. Would like to see a video of the survival stuff in your vehicle and how you store it all. In Wisconsin many people have cold weather gear for wintertime driving and getting unstuck from snow.
I keep a 72 hour bag in my truck, along with a locked tote full of extra gear and tools. Never know when you could get stuck in a blizzard, have a car accident in the middle of nowhere etc.
Every time I go to Dollar Tree, I buy packs of their emergency candles to add to my stockpile . They're only $1 for a box of 6, each candle lasts 5 to 7 hours. I keep a box of them in each vehicle. People don't realize how much heat 1 candle puts out. Around here in winter you never know if you'll get stuck someplace in your vehicle. Of course, I also put matches/lighter and small clean empty tuna can in the baggie with the candles. AND I know if I ever have to employ them to keep my window slightly open
A lot of people such as yourself and myself carry a dedicated multi-tool for EDC, but many don't. I would suggest to those folks to include a multi-tool in their bug out bag, so at least they have one on the day.
Jeff Slaven let me tell you. I bought a super cheap multi tool from Walmart closeout three years ago. It has held up incredibly well. No Leatherman, obviously, but I put one in every kit I make for myself and others. Great for bugging on a budget.
Not watched the video yet but can't resist... I have those big rolls of gorilla tape from the thumbnail, take the smaller rolls undo a bit(around an old hotel key or something so it isnt wasted) and you can fit 2 in the middle of the big roll. Makes a big chunk of duct tape with less dead space and two widths to work with for various uses :)
What food would you recommend for a BOB? Some scenarios, you won't have the time to sit down and unpack and cook. Thus, I wonder what would be the best food to eat on the go. It should be nutritious, storable for long and ready to eat like an energy bar.
Peanut butter if you are not allergic to it. One 12oz plastic jar if properly rationed can keep one person from becoming hypoglycemic for a month or longer.
I keep a candle in my fire kit. In the case of wet tinder or wet lumber Light the candle with a lighter then use the candle to light a camp fire. Easy way to conserve lighter fuel.
I do not have a medical kit and I am think about creating one. Do the items in the medical kit have a shelf life the way food has a shelf life? Also are there any decent ready made first aid kits that will fit in a glove compartment of a car?
After seeing the damage from hurricane Katrina, Ike, tornadoes and devastating freeze of 2021, not to mention the frequent floods we have here in Texas, I strongly suggest you double your Emergency Kit.
Superb video, my only issue is 3 weeks without food is unrealistic. Try going 1 day without food and see how good you feel, I personally couldn't go 2 days without food, I really think I need to eat at least 1 big meal a day. Otherwise, this video is really good, thanks.
Calahan Knapp I think he is saying you would probably die within 3 weeks or less and you will be in an extremely weakened condition when this happens 🤔
Folks that NEED glasses should keep a spare set with their bag , also if you expect to go through woods, get the safety side shields for your glasses. I also keep a brand new set of insoles for my shoes.
I'd like to add a couple things to this great video:
1. Setup two dates (fall and spring) to review the contents of the kit and make sure that everything is still good to go. Things do go wrong and I've seen batteries leak, seals fail, etc.

One thing I noticed , nobody mentioned a pocket Bible. Yes it has weight and volume. Still a needed item.

I even made a flood emergency kit including two x 2 person rafts (big sale on Amazon, couldn't resist) SOS flashing light coast guard approved, insulated PFD etc. I even got a PDF for the cat, ha!
Canadian winters can be boring and Amazon is opened on the next tab and I figured a good tsunami kit in the middle of the continent might come in handy.
Completely awesome video so much thanks for taking the time. survivalists are awesome!!! Because of where we are located we don't have to worry so much about the cold temperatures is not good to get cold but we're not going to freeze to death one of the things that I'm adding seeds if I have to bug out I'm going to take that I think one of the things about survival is acknowledging our strong points and our weaknesses and so that's what I'm trying to do a tool that I can and who's on our team obviously and what their strong points or weaknesses are. :)
How big is the container you are using to put all of your 72 hour gear in? That is a ton of stuff.
Spot on as always!!
Man I Love this stuff.
I love ALL your videos.
Thanks for all the useful information. I've got COPD. Don't know why. I never smoked. But I can't deal with candles. At all. ☹️☹️☹️
Those guns! I'm jealous!
If you are going to pack an MRE to keep it handy COMBAT FIELD STEIP the sucker to reduce the space it takes up.
RUclips has many videos on the subject.
Love your preparedness vids👍
Hey, Sootch...my experience is that you need a ten-day kit. Public services may not be restored for two weeks....Katrina, Puerto Rico.
Great video Don
You can get a 4 in 1 utility shutoff tool on Amazon that is really useful also. It is not very big and is safe to use for turning gas lines off.
i triredd space blankets they dont workk but if coupled with shower curtain ro trashbag or polyester fleeced item help also hot helps 50 percent of body heat
I split my kit in three places and have multiple items in my outbuildings as well as my home. Reason. what if the house collapses? I'm stuffed? This also includes multiple sleepling bags and vacuum sealed packs of clothing

Something to mention about the Backpacker's Pantry or Mountain House food. You don't need heat with them. You can put cold water in, and they will rehydrate, but it takes longer.
I think the lifeboat rations are often underrated. The ability to eat them little and often, quietly and with no smell maybe on a bus or train. Having to cook your meals i.e mountain house is a pain in my view
Thats a great backwall👌
You could add a signal mirror to your comms w/o much trouble.
Great talker, very informative 👍
That backdrop is badass don!!
Currently putting together a bob/ghb together for myself and my gf. Never know when shtf is going to happen, and I'd rather have us be prepared than not. Doing @ least 3 days woth of shirts, a pair of pants and a pair of shorts in my bag, and a good amount of socks.
Don’t relax now. Remember the fourth commandment KJV is reminding us of Genesis 2:2&3
Excellent information
My apartment power kept on going out last Christmas and I had to have a maintenance person go down in the locked basement electrical room to flip the breaker back on (since resolved with new parts).
So about then I realized that I had no way to keep my food cold. So off to the hardware store to get a long extension cord to run out into the hallway while I was gone to work and then out of town.
Luckily I have all my camping and hunting stuff for lights and staying warm but I did end up buying an extra headlamp, a space heater, and a battery powered lamp.
Another thing you could add to a kit would be a propane cylinder powered Mr. Buddy type heater for cold weather areas. Get one with a carbon monoxide detector built in so you don't die.
Would like to see a video of the survival stuff in your vehicle and how you store it all. In Wisconsin many people have cold weather gear for wintertime driving and getting unstuck from snow.
Look around his stuff. He has already done one
I keep a 72 hour bag in my truck, along with a locked tote full of extra gear and tools. Never know when you could get stuck in a blizzard, have a car accident in the middle of nowhere etc.
This is the time to have emergency cash to fly to another country.
Same here, I've been doing that even before I knew prepping was a thing.
Pays to be prepared and stocked up
Every time I go to Dollar Tree, I buy packs of their emergency candles to add to my stockpile . They're only $1 for a box of 6, each candle lasts 5 to 7 hours.
I keep a box of them in each vehicle. People don't realize how much heat 1 candle puts out. Around here in winter you never know if you'll get stuck someplace in your vehicle.
Of course, I also put matches/lighter and small clean empty tuna can in the baggie with the candles. AND I know if I ever have to employ them to keep my window slightly open
best prices in the market ? or you think I can buy on better prices in Walmart?
A lot of people such as yourself and myself carry a dedicated multi-tool for EDC, but many don't. I would suggest to those folks to include a multi-tool in their bug out bag, so at least they have one on the day.
Jeff Slaven let me tell you. I bought a super cheap multi tool from Walmart closeout three years ago. It has held up incredibly well. No Leatherman, obviously, but I put one in every kit I make for myself and others. Great for bugging on a budget.
Not watched the video yet but can't resist... I have those big rolls of gorilla tape from the thumbnail, take the smaller rolls undo a bit(around an old hotel key or something so it isnt wasted) and you can fit 2 in the middle of the big roll. Makes a big chunk of duct tape with less dead space and two widths to work with for various uses :)
At home I have my crochet and knitting. Thankfully I do both by touch so I don't need light to stay busy.
Good stuff
Hello from Greece!!
Great kit idea, I would just add a small sewing kit...
Also very helpful.
I like a good solar lantern like the luci lantern , they have other ones with a charger port also
What food would you recommend for a BOB? Some scenarios, you won't have the time to sit down and unpack and cook. Thus, I wonder what would be the best food to eat on the go. It should be nutritious, storable for long and ready to eat like an energy bar.
Muito bom seus videos! Brasil!!!
Peanut butter if you are not allergic to it. One 12oz plastic jar if properly rationed can keep one person from becoming hypoglycemic for a month or longer.
you seriously make the best video's man, thanks so much!
I keep a candle in my fire kit. In the case of wet tinder or wet lumber Light the candle with a lighter then use the candle to light a camp fire. Easy way to conserve lighter fuel.
I do not have a medical kit and I am think about creating one. Do the items in the medical kit have a shelf life the way food has a shelf life? Also are there any decent ready made first aid kits that will fit in a glove compartment of a car?
After seeing the damage from hurricane Katrina, Ike, tornadoes and devastating freeze of 2021, not to mention the frequent floods we have here in Texas, I strongly suggest you double your Emergency Kit.
Thanks you for let us
Useful video. I made a list based off it. I'd also add zip ties.
Superb video, my only issue is 3 weeks without food is unrealistic. Try going 1 day without food and see how good you feel, I personally couldn't go 2 days without food, I really think I need to eat at least 1 big meal a day. Otherwise, this video is really good, thanks.
Calahan Knapp I think he is saying you would probably die within 3 weeks or less and you will be in an extremely weakened condition when this happens 🤔
I’d like to see more information presented on packing the bag itself as well as philosophies of use and carry.
Great stuff!
