Here is the backpack that I am using in this video: amzn.to/3WAKmNb
GOD Armour Acts 2:38 :) Acts 19:5
Wow, that's a bit pricy. For a few dollars more, I could get a 5.11 😉But hey, if you like it and it works, that's great 👍
Hey
I need one...
nice compact backpack. waterproof? antibiotics ? mine is a bit bigger i put water bottles in which weigh lots. i found ziplock bags gallon mostly are useful & lightweight.
@@confidential719 you know if you are 40 years or older you can't take those iodide pills
For people still using public transport in large cities, I recommend locking the zippers with small locking Karabiners against pickpocketing, like Nite IZE S-Biner Microlock
Yes. People unzip and steal
When I air travel I use zip clips on my zips , hell of a lot lighter and no keys to loose
@@splashpit you mean zip ties? They are not really useable for every day carry, since you need tools to remove them and need a new one every time. Unless you mean reusable but they are also annoying to open.
The microlock s-biner do not have keys and weight like 2 g for the plastic or 4 g for the steel version.
@@gene9230 what you don’t carry a knife ?
Spare ties don’t take up much room , anyway in this context we’re talking about a bag that’s only used for travel.
@@splashpit you carry a knife on an airplane? Does not really help if it is in the bag.
Regarding 4:55, for those who are unfamiliar, that water spigot tool is the KNIPEX TwinKey Control Cabinet Key which is essentially a compact multi-headed wrench.
That's an awful big water key
AKA a silcock key (usa)
@@dutchvanderbilt9969 not just water key, it opens electric boxes and some warehouses use it for emergency open doors in case of electric blackout . on top of that, you can use it as bits key too, all you need is bits and you can disassemble nearly anything that uses traditional screws :P .
I was going to ask
Lilly, there is one tool above all else that you could discuss. Your brain and attitude. Like a lot of schools and formal education, they teach subjects but not how to think. Maybe you could put together a video on problem solving basics. How to get down to the very basics of problems, priorities, planning. Not just the gear. Strategy for preparedness vs survival vs practice. A sudden bad experience may be seen as challenge, not overwhelming. Attitude.
That is a great idea!
This call critical mind. Not thinking people are more comfortable for tops , because easy to manipulate with them.
@@arturspipins7385 I had a draconian thought. Is this how humans survive as a species? We have an existential failure(natural or of our own doing) and the irrational part of the population dies off.
Great video! I wear glasses too. I would recommend a second pair of glasses with your current prescription as an emergency backup pair just in case you lose or damage the glasses that you are wearing.
Even if one doesn't wear them, safety glasses are a must. Prepare for battle.
Solid point. Spare pair of prescription glasses in a crush proof hard case. Then Sun glasses and safety glasses and or safety goggles that can be worn over your glasses. Think concrete dust like NYC on 9/11/2001. 🤔
Everyone needs a IFAK / Blowout Kit to deal with massive bleeding and multiple "real" (not cheap ChiCom knock-off) CAT Gen7 Tourniquets.
@@diegrinder6851 They are helpful and you are correct you don't want a cheap knockoff, but I would strongly recommend getting proper medical training on how to use it as there can be a lot of harmful complications if used by an untrained hand. Israeli bandages are probably a better idea for most scenarios (especially for the untrained) as they are less likely to cause complications and in a pinch can be used as a tourniquet.
I wear glasses also, and they can be so expensive nowadays with the exam, frames and lens. All separate 🤣🥺😭
This woman is awesome. I admire her.
This is really cool! When I was living with my family, my dad was the person who stocked our house with emergency supplies, but since I moved out for college I got an emergency pack from the dorms and then added extra essentials to it. For any emergency situation, I definitely recommend a small pack of cards - boredom can be extremely dangerous in long-term or wait-it-out survival situations. For myself, I also added extra thick gloves and socks because my extremities get cold easily, and extra OTC allergy medications do manage my allergies. Love to see how people customize their packs based on their own needs!
Also important , that this things are with You at accidental situation.
Lilly I love what you put in your bag. I would recommend adding a good lip balm too. If the weather is cold or you don't have enough fluid, lips can get painfully chapped and even split and bleed. Also, just a note for U.S. subscribers, it is illegal in many states, including Virginia my home state, to possess lock picking tools. If you are found with them in an illegal state, you can be arrested and charged. Each person needs to check with their state or decide if it's worth the risk to possess them. Blessings, Helen
If you tap into a buildings exterior water spigot, always be sure to clear the line of stagnant water in the lines if you can do that undetected. It may not make a huge difference if the pipes are huge but it never hurts if it’s possible.
Even if I do my best to clear the line, I'd ALWAYS use a Hydroblu Sidekick water filter straw. Yes, even tho I live in NYC, I bring it w me everywhere. It's the size of a sharpie, no excuse not to have one (or several).
I bought this bag it’s always in my car with a good pair of hiking boots. Has 2 days food and everything else I need in case I have to return home on foot. Also strapped a decent sized medic pack to the outside. Hiked about an hour with it once it’s comfy.
Add a fresh pair of socks.
@@kenibnanak5554 they’re in my boots👍🏼
Thermal, 2 knives including Apo-1, lighters, faro rod, water tablets, lock picks, couple 50 mil trash bags (got that tip from corporals corner) change of pants, maps, Baofeng radio, water proof lightweight jacket, headlamp, flashlight, leathermen, sewing needle. That’s all I can think off at the moment.
@@communism_sucks sounds like a nice complete setup personally I would add a rainfly and a hammock and straps I have a bad back I can't sleep on the ground anymore I got mine pretty cheap on Amazon as a complete setup and have spent a week out camping with it I think it cost $35 or $45 and get 50 ft of paracord
Like you, I now live in the suburbs, but I actually go out to a rural town for work so my get home kit features more things that cover food, water, shelter and safety because if I need to get home on foot I might not be able to do it in one shot and I could need to sleep for a night. I've actually walked the route and explored a few alternatives and potential hole up points if I need to catch a nap on the way. Gloves seem to be an underrated thing, I've got a pair of Mechanix gloves, I've always had some since I wore them in Afghanistan and they do it for me, and a pair of merino wool liners that I can wear under them in the winter. I've watched your older bag videos and it's clear that you're adapting your kit to the possible threats you'll deal with. Keep up the good work and stay safe Lilly.
A survivor trick is survival vest and daypack
I can’t go to work without it, I don’t leave home anymore without water purification my gas mask my safety blood trauma kit, and few days of food and ferrous rod and about 100 fire starter cotton Vaseline pads
Much better is a vest
@@lollypop2413 What kind, like a cargo vest with lots of pockets instead of a backpack?
For my Faraday cages, I wrap the electronic item in plastic to keep it from getting scratched, then wrap it in aluminum foil, and then put it in a heavy-duty ziplock bag. I take a straw and suck out the air from the ziplock bag to make a cheap vacuum bag. The cheap vacuum bag will protect and make sure the the aluminum foil doesn't get jostled around, which may create a gap in the foil.
Faraday cages dont protect from all radiation though. Bascially the higher the frequency of the radiation the tinier the wholes of the cage have to be. In case of gamma rays not even the atomic grid of aluminium is small enough. Gamma ray photons just punch through as if it wasnt there. So the only way to protect yourself is to increase the thickness. You need ca. 1 meter thick lead walls for a good gamma ray protection to keep all your microchips safe. The alternative is to only use analog devices without microchips.
@@DariusOutdoors No one was talking about gamma ray radiation. It's for EMP protection. Moreover, if gamma ray radiation is high enough to fry your electronics, then it's high enough to fry you too 😉 Further, an EMP will destroy transistors (analog anyone), and all digital is implemented with "analog" devices. Sorry for any confusion. Tubes should be fine 🙃
Wrapping the nuclear detector in a plastic bag will help it from being contaminated by any radioactive dust. If you get radioactive dust on the detector it will not be reliable as a detector.
To test whether you have sufficient radio frequency or electromagnetic pollution protection, place a cellphone in the box/bag that you've made or want to use and call it with another phone, if it rings then no good. Steel mesh textiles work the best. There's a youtube channel called "adafruit" that talks about that.
A very effective way of getting the air out of a small bag is to seal it up 90% and drop it into water up to as close to the top as you can. You won't get a better vacuum by using the straw way, although it will work. The other benefit of this is that you'll know immediately if your bag is actually waterproof or not. (try it with something non-electronic first).
Thanks for posting this video! Years of prepping and I never thought about the water faucet wrenches. It just goes to show that there's always something new to learn!
If you're looking for this key it is actually called a silcock key that way when you look it up you'll have the proper item that you're looking for
I would think the leatherman tool would take care of that but then there are some spigots that need a special key.
Water outlets on building can often be unused for very long time, and intended use is often watering plants. Unless you flush out a lot of water I would strongly advise against use as drinking water. Of course you could use a water filter to clean the water.
Carrying pepper spray in the city is illegal in most EU countries, but if you do carry it the placement deep inside the main compartment makes little sense.
The really big first aid kit seems far to big for EDC carrying. As mentioned in the video it could be useful in a car accident. Most cars carry a large size first aid kit. I would go for a much smaller, cheaper and lighter first aid kit.
I miss something to eat, like a protein bar or bag with nuts or some kind of candy.
The lock pick set was small and looked pretty nice, and I really see that as something useful to have in a city bag. A small container with oil could be a nice addition. If you have tried to pick an old and slightly rusted lock you will understand why. Also useful for anything that has an annoying squeke sound.
Great video! My wife thought prepping was just for guys, so I had her watch your video. Before COVID, she just thought I was a little paranoid; but, now, she doesn't say anything when I spend some money on a good urban bag and supplies! Thanks for convincing her that preparedness is not just for Boy Scouts...it's for Girl Scouts, too!!
Nice set up. You should REALLY consider wearing the pepper spray one of the front shoulder straps and the flashlight/protection tool on the other shoulder strap. Those will not help you in a sudden situation where you can't readily use them.
Hello Lilly. Never forget your handy roll of VIP (very important paper). It can be used to start a fire or clean up after a bathroom stop....
Very nice Lilly, I remember you did a video like this a while back and I added/changed a couple things to my bag from that video, and now I have a couple new ideas. Thank you! I think gloves are SO important. They're not as "fun" as a knife but so useful. I also switched to a smaller urban bag, so I have a woods bag and an urban bag and it ensures both bags are actually with me when I need them. there IS a balance of convenience of bringing your bag with you or not based on size and weight as you've said.
I also have two bags I have a US military Molly 2 big rucksack that is totally full and can sustain me for up to two weeks without a problem I have my regular daily pack which is about 30 liters the biggest thing in that bag is a level 3A armor plate and just daily use items the biggest part of the pack is empty if I have to grab something at the store or if I'm out shopping and need room to carry stuff home because I'm taking public transportation
I agree about gloves, I actually keep them in my jacket pockets rather than a bag, they are that essential to me. I have thinner pairs in my Summer jacket and warmer ones in my Winter coat for example.
Great video! The most important thing you can have is in your head and your hands. Knowledge, skills and situational awareness. No matter what you have, you need to be able to use it.
Watching you anytime made me stay focus and keep my get home bag already stand by. Thank you Lily 👍
@@bobcholawo6787 great Idea Bob. Useful
G'Day Lilly nice little set up you have there. I would suggest you keep your Leatherman in the front pocket with your gloves instead of having to dig deep for it for quick access. Also your first aid packet keep at the very top of your pack and possibly incorporating a head lamp for hands free situations and some more snacks as you will be using a lot of energy walking home. Have a great day mate 😁😉
I like reviewing, Lilly’s, videos after a few months. I refresh what the lesson was and report if I used her advice. On this “Urban” bag, it is a winner. Broke down a few miles from home. Walked with my light bag, home. It was nice not carrying a big bag. Everything was in it, if I needed it.
I am fortunate to work 12 rural miles from home, that is if I followed the roads versus cutting through pasture. If I cut through pasture cuts the distance in half
I would also suggest some sort of high energy or protein bar or two so that you have something ready to eat for energy.
Love that backpack and it’s a reasonable size and weight which is perfect!❤
Awesome. Very useful items Lilly. Consider adding the Victorinox rescue tool knife and a little water filter as plan B. All the best.
Be safe out there! Ein Herz für Österreich!
I would add a water filter because I firmly believe that a water filter should be in all get home/bug out/bug in bag because of how essential clean water is for survival
And more then that... of this is a get home bag you need water, so i dont understand why there is no single waterbottle in the pack... also, she takes gloves with her, whats perfectly ok and smart to help people out of a car but no tourniquet? ....
I have water filters in my pack and in my truck, just smart. I carry water to
8:56 I'd like to learn more about faraday cages. I've seen everyone share every opinion about making them that they contradict each other. Some use steel, others use aluminum, or copper, others say an anti-static bag works. Some use chicken wire, others make it air tight encapsulated with metal. Some keep theirs grounded in an outlet, others don't so they won't attract electrons. Some insulate the inside with cardboard, others use layers of latex paint to make it air-tight. Some tape the lid shut with conductive tape, others don't use anything to seal the lid.
I have a steel trash can that, with the lid on tight, a magnet outside can still pull an object inside. Some say it shouldn't be able to do that, but it did.
SO many smart ideas I hadn't thought of, especially the signal mirror and using it to check your eye! I will make one suggestion: last year's glasses, especially if you have a strong prescription.
Mirror extra glasses and pliers to er
A good set of lock picks and the ability to use them can be invaluable. A prybar of a size to fit in your bag can be useful to get you into/out of places as well as being a potential impact weapon.
where can someone get the same set she has? or something similar? for extreme situations
@@Aelvenfriar ;)
Thanks Lilly 😊 It's always a learning/ idea session watching your videos. Glad to see you're doing good. Love ❤️ from Texas
Hey, Lilly! Great video, thanks for sharing. I suggest you add a foil blanket (like the ones traffic police use). It doesn't weight much, and might come handy when its cold. Take care!
''Travel light, freeze at night." Great gear in a small and light package, yet I would have a little more room for shelter.
Nice bag 🎒 and I like the items you carry. I suggest keeping potassium iodide in there too just in case. Plus a head lamp too.
I’d just like to say your videos are very helpful and enjoyable to watch. Please keep up the good work
id like to recommend to use some "aluminium tape", which can be paste on boxes, which you have. than its faster to reach devices.
I like the way you set your EDC up and I like the pack. I have been looking for something that is thin and easy to carry. I'm in my 60s and want some easy-to-crab and carry. You put out great content. Best to be prepared these days. Thank you
1. Leatherman should be on your hip at all times.
2. Check on legality, but in SHTF that's moot anyway. So have a fixed blade knife on your hip also.
A Wave+ already has separate 3" straight and serrated locking blades. I don't think you need to add a fixed blade in an urban environment. Just draws unwanted attention.
dont know in what kind of suburbia she lives, but i'd add small binocs/monocular. having ability to assess the situation without need to get closer is invaluable in major SHTF. that key is also useful to open electric junction box so you can disable electricity in many public buildings. i'd move multitool from backpack to belt/trousers/pants to have quick access to it in case of need. as for geiger; if you carry counter with you, bring some of those disposable (dreaded) face masks, gloves and some sort of eye protection too. poncho will do just fine in a pinch too.
That key with the different types of socket heads is brilliant.
I like your choices. Small, light, complete, highly mobil. Two suggestions; 1, keep your wallet in your front pocket; 2, add a compact warm jacket.
Hi I liked your get home bag ideas. There were a couple of things I hadn’t thought of. The only things I added differently was a sawyer straw for water filtration. Survival tabs (from Amazon) for energy. Electrolyte tablets to add to water, and iodine tablets (just added),Plus because I live in Canada I added extra socks, scarf, and a toque(head covering). In my car I always have a emergency candle(for warmth), and blanket as well.
Definitely will be looking to add a couple more things from your list. In the end I also opted for a smaller pack as I wouldn’t be able to carry a heavy pack for long distances. Oh and one more thing- I always carry walking sticks in my car for helping me walk long distances and who knows maybe for self defence.
I am in Canada too and I suggest a few 8-hr candles and snowshoes (in case you have to walk anywhere!). I know, someone should design folding snowshoes! We had snow on Vancouver Island today! More coming.
Where did you get the iodine tablets?
I also bought the Knipex multi key and I found out that
I can use it to unlock the elevator doors to rescue my neighbors who might be caught during power outages.
The best vehicle is a folding E bike if you work in an office and need to get home. Or just a very small light folding pedal bike. Or at the minimal a kick scooter but they don't work well in winter.
Good luck, my scram bag is actually a camelback hydration pack, because potable water is survival as well as comfort. I have a hand crank/solar weather radio, a leatherman, a swiss army knife, (Mariners model), Zippo, Bic lighters, white tip matches and two travel bottles with alcohol. Am in Florida, so no snow, lotsa boats.
The aluminum foil Faraday cage really works. If you are using money cards it is important to block thieves. I wrap my cards in a three lay foil pack.
Thank you for sharing Lilly, I appreciate it. We need to stay updated with current Worldly events and gear. Very nice back pack, convenient and practical. Stay safe👍
Hey Lilly, love watching your videos, great info and ideas! Great urban survival bag! I live in the country so my bag has to be twice the size unfortunately lol. One thing I always keep with me is a small, high calorie snack like a granola bar and some hard candy. It may take you awhile to get home on foot, and depending on the situation stores/restaurants may be closed down, or their cash registers may be down...keep up the awesome work!
2 things that you may wish to look at: 1.keep a car key around your neck under clothes-house key too.buy a breathable passport pouch also for around your neck with what you have in your purse.(cards etc)... 2.Learn how to use that lock pick, it is Not as easy as you think, learn from you tube a little, because it took me hours.You have to be able to know what it is your ''feeling'' on tying to open any door.I had a Locksmith show me(my son).
Good kit i suggested you add few tea light candles and metalic cup.
Great video, for those of you who have a ham radio license, I always take a small Baofeng. The first things to go down in a big incident is usually the mobile phone network.
Is ok using a ham radio without license at a big incident(only listening and what frequency is better to listen)?
@@sealandapostiye 147.52MHz is the simple answer but get the license and you find the more involved answer for your area. It's not that hard.
Don't you need a faraday cage around your ham radio?
I have so many of those Glock write in the rain notebooks. They're super handy
Great ideas Lilly. The mains tester screwdriver is a really good idea !
In a SHTF situation, what would you use that tester screwdriver for? Doesn't her multi-tool have a screwdriver on it?
@@rogerjensen5277 It is not unusual in the case of damaged buildings for example to find live wires. Could easily keep you alive and also find it where there was power to use for phones or whatever, so yes great idea.
You are even using the same waterproof box for your Geiger counter that I have mine in.
One very small thing I carry is a neodymium magnet. Have removed steel splinters, once from an eye. Only 2mm by 1cm by 2cm.
You are amazing, in fact, I have never seen a person with so much stuff that might be needed one day.
Also body armor wouldn't hurt with ballistic plates for front and back.
Two things: A) flashlight with not only bright light and Beazley but with shocker too! B) waterproof notebook and waterproof pen! Good vid! Thanks!
@@bobcholawo6787 Totally
Impressive kit for the size of that pack!
I carry a 15L sling bag all the time just because it's so small and practical. It's setup as a daily life urban survival bag, but I could easily get home from work with that alone.
As you nearly said, it may not matter as much what you carry as it is important to actually carry it!
I would recommend rigging up some shock cord on the pack, for quick attachment of a jacket or whatever.
I like how normal your bag looks. It does not stand out or catch the eye, unlike the overstuffed get home bags found on other channels.
I just use a empty bag I already have and put some water, food, small stuff I find in dollar store..I use it all the time, if I go on the road I have a snack and something to drink, some gloves, etc
I agree, having a smaller pack you are more likely to keep it with you at all times. That’s a nice pack and the size seems perfect. What do you EDC in ur pockets? Do you carry a folding knife ? Do you not utilize ur pockets? Is everything in ur pack? Great video
I keep a lump of chalk in mine as it's a fail safe if you want to scribble arrows or messages on buildings, trees etc. Also battery radio is a must. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Stay safe Lily 👍🇬🇧
Schlau, sauber und akkurat liebe Lilly! Danke fürs zeigen! Beste Grüße Sepp
There are many useful items that you have shown that makes perfect sense to carry. Tasmanian Tiger produces top notch gear. I run a TT Medic Assault Pack S as my EDC bag, and love how compact and modular it is. Great video! Subbed.
You could add a couple of power bars to eat, and the watter supply could be 2x that.
Also in case of capture save the last round for yourself.
Great as always. One suggestion - instead of power indicator screwdriver you can easily fit "Pen multimeter" with more function. time to time you may be need to measure even battery charge.
I have the same pack (TT Essentials Mk II, 9 L), & I must agree with your assessment of its quality - resilient, rugged, reliable & it blends right in when trekking in urban & suburban areas. Mine is black like yours, but some may prefer other colours offered. Since many included items are an individual choice, your recommendations were excellent. I selected TT's Pouch 7 (black) to mount on my pack's front. It's slightly larger than yours & is in a vertical format with a clamshell opening feature. It adds just enough space for immediate access to important items without being too obtrusive. What's super is that this is a no-nonsense backpack rather than a sling pack. Weight is evenly distributed, thus providing comfort for that possible lengthy hike home. As you mentioned, its size makes it more conducive to being a true EDC rather than leaving it in one's vehicle. We don't know when the pack will be of utmost importance, so having it with us even in a restaurant or supermarket should be imperative. A bulky pack can be a literal pain to manoeuvre in those & other locations. The TT Mk II facilitates making it a true EDC. Thx for sharing this pack on your channel; it may be just the size & design for those who desire an EDC but find carrying a larger one too impractical.
What a fantastic backpack,, thanks for showing us, it holds those essentials beautifully!
good kit! as a person who also wear's glasses; i would suggest you pack an extra set of glasses.
The ammo is important also. The pistol, 9mm common round and the type of ammo with good ballistics with penetration ability for shooting people hiding behind walls ect.
Nice urban survival back pack Lilly.👍🇺🇸😎
Cool bag! Mine’s bigger, probably heavier with 3 meals for 72 hours, bivy with liner, etc… You need Lithium AA or AAA batteries for things like that G. counter. I don’t carry spray because I always carry a Glock 10mm wherever I go here in Texas.
cool gear - what you need is a flat pry bar - many uses - can be a hammer or weapon
By the omission of a certain category of equipment
Looks
Like you reside in a highly restricted legislative state
A choke chain dog collar, and/or leash
Can be quite useful
During
Interesting times.
I recently got a Gregory Paragon 58L backpack. It’s fine. I would recommend attempting to predict locations where you might go, escape routes, and plant (bury or hide) extra supplies for an lengthy trip you might have to make. I can only carry about 3 days food, once my .44Mag and ammo, clothes, tent, first aid, etc are packed. You need a good fixed-blade knife for general usage (leatherman is heavy). My hand warmer is my own body; it that doesnt work, then the hands no longer matter. U need foldable saw, water purification system (the MSR Guardian is best [kinda pricey]), 50ft 550 paracord, analog compass, cooking torch, apple pectin, potassium iodine, etc. You need to be a LOT more aware of the weight you are packing. Most people in good shape can manage about 30% of their body weight; pack what will keep you alive the longest. Put pepper spray on rope and wear it around your neck or waist; an attacker won’t allow you to search your pak for it. LOL. Check out REI’s channel; REI is like the Walmart for hiking and camping equipment, and they have videos that will help you plan. Love your videos and, God forbid SHTF happens, hope you do well.
What part about Urban Survival didn't you understand? Why do you need a folding saw or tent in an urban survival situation? You're not going to be building a shelter out off wood in an urban environment when there's millions of buildings around so you won't use a saw and the same goes for a tent. Yes, a tent can be useful in an urban environment but that would be in the later days of the scenario after you have no choice but to abandon your home (same goes for a saw) and buildings are collapsing or you're stuck in a "refugee" camp. 3 days food is arguable as once again you're in an urban area and in the initial days of a realistic urban survival situation there will be more than enough food left in stores and houses to steal to get you home......provided you live in the city you are in when SHTF and know the area. A compass is kind of useless in an urban area due to all the steel from vehicles and buildings throwing off the magnetic field so if you want a compass, something digital is best but I would be more inclined to have a map of the local area and just read the street signs.
if weight is not too much of an issue then a small crow bar is ideal for urban survival, gets you in and out of places quickly.
Firefighter officer tool. Like a mini Halligen bar.
Loved the video. Didn't know you can use aluminium foil as faraday cage. Added few things to my list: geiger counter, mini-radio and... tampons
Another great video. I especially like your gloves, flashlight, and USB/radio. Two things I also carry are two 3 meter long pieces of Paracord and a reusable shopping bag. The Paracord is used for many purposes but mainly to tie clothing to the backpack if you need to take off your coat on a warm day. The shopping bag gives you a way to carry extra food, etc. Thank you for a great video.
I was just teaching my 10 year old son about paracord and how to pull the inner cords and tying square knots, little stuff like that adds up
First time Watcher here, Canadian prepper talks about you.. I haven't watched the video fully I'm about halfway through, I would definitely recommend having that first aid kit more up top so it's more easily accessible, not only for you but if somebody needed to get it to help take care of you they could find it
Bic lighter is great but if the fuel button gets pressed in your bag it becomes almost useless. Doing something to stop that from happening would be a good idea.
Hi Lily.. Nice kit..Just noticed that you didn't include a water purification method.?
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY USA my friend
I feel like the addition of a Sawyer mini straw or similar filter would be wise, even public water can be contaminated in a SHTF situation. I really like that radiation monitor. Newegg has them for around $80 USD.
Just came about your videos and have to say it's very informative and I enjoy viewing you. Keep more videos coming Beautiful.
I would ad linesman pliers and a silcot wrench
I carry 1 minichamp at neck and a camper vic at my pocket....more useful tool: small tweezers for thorns and more.....a extra pair of glasses all time
That is a good idea about the radio. There was a slew of mp3 players put out in the 2000s that also had an FM radio built in like your Archos. Mine are just sitting around.
I should charge one up and toss it into my car bag.
And maybe working boots with reinforced toe and sole, to safely walk on broken glass and debris
I keep Pepper Gel in mine. Also, two water bottles, two packs of emergency purified drinking water, 5 5 hour energy shots and 6 hand warmers. Two emergency ponchos and s small Swiss Army Knife too .
A neat piece of kit, Lily.
Thanks for sharing your video! ☺️🙏👍✌️🇬🇧
I think a poncho big enough to cover you and bag when raining and also a ridge line so you can use the poncho as a shelter.
Also as an Australian I’m triggered that that “Tasmanian tiger “ bag isn’t made in Australian or even owned by an an Australian or Australian company.
Tolles Video.
Den Geigerzähler würde ich nicht mitnehmen, aber egal. Was ich jedoch noch mit da rein packen würde ist 6-10 Meter Paracord, einen Feuerstahl, eine Rettungsdecke.
Danke für Deine Anregungen.
Might I suggest you could also benefit wrapping your battery case in foil as well to guard against an EMP.
Great video. 1 thing I would recommend is, place your flashlight on your shoulder strap, in the event you get attacked. Unless you can reach it from its location
I will always think a Continuity Tester would be a great addition for EDC. A continuity tester shows if an electrical wire is electrified. During Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, USA, there were a lot of flooded houses. There were a few people that entered abandoned houses that had flooded basements to get temporary shelter. Often the electricity would still be on. Live electric wires would be discharging in the water. Electrifying anybody that stepped in the water. I don't know what Continuity Testers are called in German or other languages. They are cheap and lightweight. To have on hand. If you can find the fuse box to the abandoned house you can turn off all electric power.
What you want is not a continuity tester but a non-contact electrical tester or a volt meter. Continuity testers are for checking the continuity of a wire. They are for use on non-powered circuits. Many digital multimeters include the functions of a volt meter, amp meter, ohm meter, and continuity tester. And some include other functions.
@@timberlandone4054 See my comment for a cheap pen meter. BTW the Klein CL390 is a very good clamp meter for the price.
One thing you can put that I didn’t see that won’t take any room is a commercial grade trash bag. Great vid
Lilly, thank you for this video. it's very good. I would include I sewing needle with a big enough eye to use the floss to sew up a wound or an article of clothing. Also, maybe a small spool of thread. You can use alcohol wipes to disinfect it. I think unopened floss should be pretty sterile.
I'm advising overcaution. In case of an EMP - don't bother with premade electronics, you as civilians are screwed. Keep parts, compounds and schematics for a fully DIY foxhole radio somewhere accessible instead. DIY piezoelectrics in place of high-ohm speakers too, to make it fully manufacturable by yourself after an EMP event. That is, if you actually care for emergency broadcasts, survive to hear them and there's someone in a proper continuation of government facility ready to send them.
Why? Here's a logic chain: 1st - AM is more realistically likely to be used for emergency broadcast, as you'd require fewer stations to cover a wider area. 2nd - receivers are primitive and can be made from scrap by anyone even somewhat into electronics and chemistry, thus can be expected to be in wider availiability by transmitters. 3rd, elaborating on previous too - it's a more survivable low technology, and if my assumptions are wrong you're still better off to have a reliable foundation to work off of. 4th, most important and also related to prior - EMP is way stronger than most people anticipate and much harder to secure against. Testing and hardening procedures were pretty much only done against minor events and militaries still aren't confident about them, and yes many of base assumptions and efforts made to protect against starfish prime scale EMP won't work, since that's a _minor_ event. DIY faraday cages are on the same level of effectiveness as duck and cover in the middle of a fireball. No, it blocking network or walkie-talkie signals is _not_ a great estimate to rely on.
Prepare to start from scratch, instead of keeping your electronics safe, 'cause they very likely won't work, no matter your efforts.
