Наука
I really like your run down and organization, 40+lb is intense, I'd suggest stream lining what you have, mainly in the tool section. You need one knife and a multi tool for most anything, get a flat bar instead of that cat's claw, no reason to take the steel bond worth the weight, that huge knife/saw is cool but you could get away with a simple folding saw and a Terävä Jääkäripuukko from varusteleka which fits in the Mora plastic sheath perfectly. Ditch the box cutters, two knives max, and that maxpedition pouch weighs a lot, i stripped the molle off the back of mine, or just don't bring it since it really is just a place holder for carabiner and knives, which need little more than a ziplock bag. Ditch the dudeshowers and go towels, swap that 2oz bottle of dishsoap for broners to do both cleaning pans and washing yourself, and two bandanas, it will all outlast disposable items if you are truly designing this for "never coming home" and the packaging weighs something when you add it up, I bet you could add a portable "sink" folding bowl for the weight of all your disposable sanitary items. Also focusing on a all AAA system for flashlights with a rechargeable bay that will allow you to go longer, because when that headlamp's battery craps out on a long enough timeline, the headlamp is done, but if you have removable batteries, the headlamp will go until it's damaged in other ways. You carry the weight of disposable batteries already, might as well upgrade them to rechargable.
Beyond those items, the way to reduce weight in your pack is by trimming everything, eliminating excess packaging, trim down those guide books to save 1/4 pound, and last, finding alternatives to what you own and slowly replace with what is most cost beneficial to spend money to swap out, but honestly your kit is pretty dialed in otherwise and don't need to add to much more, I'd just consider looking at your heaviest items to identify their purpose and try to find alternatives to the task or overall importance of the task considering the weight of the item. Sleeping bag and pad could be a large source of your weight, I wouldnt go with anything above 25ounces for the sleeping bag, and 16 ounces for the sleeping pad, there are cheap options for less than $50. Less is more.
my kit without food or water is about 10lbs that can go down to 20F, I have everything you do, but my tool selection, tarp, sleeping gear and cooking kit are far lighter, I have a bonzai tree saw, a varusteleka knife for batoning, a diy aluminum bow saw 15", a modified drywall hammer as my prybar/tomahawk. My cook kit is a titanium 550mug and titanium Vargo 900ml Bot as my water/cooking. my tarp is DIY of silnylon for 12ounces, and my sleeping bag is DIY with climashield insulation, super easy to make, my sleeping pad is 12ounces of foam, because I don't trust inflatables on a long enough timeline.
I enjoy the kit viewing, I'm obsessed with mine, the challenge of making it and how well it has stream lined my life as an every day access thing. It's a fun journey of a hobby I always suggest to people to try.
I enjoyed reading that
Would love to see a video on that. Great suggestions.
I like the redundancies. A lot of people would say "hey bro carry less weight". But, he is an experienced backpacker and if you're willing to carry the extra weight it's always a benefit to have more food, more shelter items, or even a bigger solar panel to charge the electronics.
Nice setup. Go use it now. Start with a car camping trip. Then short hiking trips. You’ll get rid of half of that stuff. That bag is not made to carry that weight. Good luck on your adventures. Time in the field is priceless
Nice bag set up! And a really big THANK YOU!!! for having everything laid out while going over the contents. Its so painful to watch a video about bag contents while watching each and every item being pulled out of each compartment one item at a time. This saves time for people like myself who just want to get some ideas on what we can do and or put in our bags........Thank You. Once again nice set up!
Thanks so much for your feedback! Yeah I have seen tons of videos with 0 editing and it's painful to watch them pull out each and every item and most of those videos can be cut down in time by at least 50%... Glad to hear my video gave you some good ideas!
That Orange bag in the rear net will make you a moving trackable target, if your INCHin, you wont be wearing shorts. Your legs will need constant protection while your static or moving. Add boot bands to prevent ticks from crawling up your ankles ( and a pack of dryer sheets ).
I would add a silky saw, foldable or fixed blade. I would add a long spoon instead of the short one, and you need a signaling kit too. Next thing is to field test. Would love to see that video.
String and glo sticks for signaling, or a mirror. Smoke bombs work too. Multi tool could have a small saw but couldn't get much larger work done. Kbar has cool utensil kits
The inch bag is so overlooked
During SHTF it doesn’t matter how your backpack looks, everyone with a backpack will be a potential target!
Yeah... generally grey man is BS
Great video! Love the breakdown. 👍
This a great video featuring a very well organized kit and thought process. I really like how you detailed the calorie count and explained the math to show a solid 7 days of survival for one person. My guess is you are storing this bag in your car trunk in the event you have to evacuate your home. If so, I would urge you to add at least one more backpack, smaller than the current pack with the thinking that in an apocolypse moment, you will most likely not bug out by yourself. Your sense of responsibility for the welfare of others will almost assurdly force you to bring along 1 - 3 additional people as the average car seats 4 adults and what if a family member or a child is with or near you when the crisis strikes. If you do end up with others, they will most likely not be prepared, at all. The extra backpack should be packed with mostly food, as many calories as it can hold. Total weight will most likely be less than your big bag because you will immediately disconnect the smaller pack and someone of lesser strength with you will carry it. I would also add some form of utility belt with detachable pouches so you can redistribute the weight if you have hike or so someone else in your party can carry some weight. The gold is a great idea, but even the small coins will have more purchasing power than may be easily taken in trade with change given, so add a money belt which you can wear under your shirt with 1 pound of 1oz silver coins (16 coins) to facilitate easy trade for necessities. If you always keep a case or 2 of bottled water with the bug out bag, maybe a way to strap as much water as possible in bottles to 4 people.
this is the best Bug Out Bag that i have seen on YT, an amazing reference, thank you so much for putting together this very detailed video, so very helpful. sincere thanks US, very much appreciated !!
Hey buddy! Thank you so much I'm glad you enjoyed it! Planning to revisit this in the next few months with an ultra light ultra minimal bag build for those that need to travel long distances!
@@UrbanSurvivor sure thing my friend, i did really enjoy and it made me re-think my own situation ...and my own tools/kit and supplies. i am frankly glad to hear that you are doing an updated version / ultra-light version bag set-up ...that will be extremely informative and inspiring as well ! in the mean-time i have my work cut-out for me to put together something close to what you were ale to accomplish with your truly great bug-out bag set-up. sincere thanks again !
Great kit. Thank you for showing it to us. Stay safe and stay warm
Thanks a lot! Stay safe out there too!
Great video and awesome bag!! Thank you!
Thanks Aaron! Really glad you enjoyed it!
For the food module i suggest you to add more honey and more soy sauce, plus some sugar(general use),some bullion to add to the oats to make a really good meal and if you like them a couple of tuna or spam pouches (really small, thin, tasty and they have a lot of calories). For the water i suggest you to include the sawyer mini siringe to clean it up and keep him functional
This is one of the most thorough bug out inch bag that I have seen on RUclips yet.
Thank for sharing your ideas
👍👍👍
This is awesome thanks! Also, are those hand sanitizer bottles you are using for your honey?
Thru-hikers often get their pack weights under 10 lbs (without food, water & stove fuel). Their kits are sufficient to help them survive on treks over 2000+ miles. My kit follows those lines, with a few urban specific items thrown in. In my opinion (which is no better than any other person's opinion), a lot of the gear you are carrying is over-kill for unlikely scenarios. You also have lots of redundancies, which adds up to lots of weight (e.g., lots of knives/tools, lights, electronics). It's impossible to move stealthily and quickly with a 45 lb pack. You're just a target. "Hey, look at that guy with the big, heavy pack! He's got stuff!!!" You've clearly spent a lot of time and effort thinking of what YOU need. However, I believe that you can streamline this kit into something more manageable that still fits YOUR needs.
Hey I appreciate your feedback. I agree, there is room to shed some weight and get rid of a few redundancies, thats for sure.
@@UrbanSurvivor Thanks for your response. Maybe do an overnight with the bag and see what works for you? I'm sure that we'd all learn a bit from your vid. Thanks!
yeah? and what those hikers are going to eat and drink man? Stove fuel? he is gonna use firewood for his stove. Move stealthly means pretty much avoid be seen, camo your campsite, if you see lots of people around you, turn around and go from another route, where you are going to be alone. If they follow you, then its time to pull your sidearm and make them go. Being armed and ready is a must. Quickly is an other thing. It depends from your fitness level and what you are going to meet on your way to location B. For me this bug out bag is perfect. You miss some security items. Like what? Like a handgun, ammo and a kit to maintain it functional...
I’d go with the philosophy of “have it and not bend it than need it and not have it”. You can shed weight quickly. Just dump it if needed.
If you’re in such a desperate situation that the difference of 20 lbs of stuff in a pack makes you that much more vulnerable than you’re already being hunted.
Comparing a SHTF INCH loadout bag with loadout bags that thru hikers use who wonder in and out of towns every 10-20 miles as they do on the Appalachian Trail is basically a category error... 😆
Really good video lot of good things in detail description. Very well done. thanks for the time it took you to make it and thanks for the effort you put in to put in making it
Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it and hopefully you got some ideas for your bag!
Very complete, and well planned. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Great bag!
I appreciate that you recognize the possibility that you may need to leave the U.S., which many preppers seem to ignore. If you need to relocate out of the country, you may want to also pack your passport and other ID you could need to travel. You may need that if you have to travel to certain counties.
The need for cash is also very practical and often ignored in INCH bags.
Another suggestion for your bag is to compile a contact information of friends & family, especially those who live out of town and out of the country. Unless you are a hermit with no human relationships, you probably want to be able to reach them if you have to leave town in amen emergency. They can be potential resources for you if you have to leave town due to an emergency or INCH situation. While it’s nice to have the capability to “camp” in the wild, the reality is being able to escape a disaster by going to the home of someone you know who lives out of the disaster area is the safest course of action.
Great call on the passport thats an excellent idea! Yeah I haven't heard the relocation topic covered too often in other prepper videos which surprised me.
Wow, much more thorough than my go bag! But thanks US!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting Greg!
Tip from me. It's not necessary but I carry 5 multi vitamin tablets for men, they take no space at all and popping one every day or two is good if not eating full meals. If you're really on the move in a bad situation especially in the winter, the vitamin C mainly and other vitamins can help fend off viruses and sickness and also keep your daily diet closer to normal and body functioning at top performance if only eating the noodles for a meal for example. Men's multi vitamins are important if getting any since men can not have a lot of extra iron as it can make you sick.
You should consider traveling by night...that’s a lot of stuff.
With that much kit you should consider travelling by bus
I like packing hickory smoked tuna pouches for needed protein , also a large jar of JIF peanut butter. Where did you get the dude wipes snd the add water towels ? Lower denominations in your cash, maybe $5.00-10.00 in quarters would be wise, many singles, 5’s and 20’s
Thanks for the video! You've actually put thought into your kit ... don't always see that here on RUclips. Really dig those water storage bags. Have some that style, but not in that build quality. Buying now!
Some thoughts from an Eagle Scout, Former LEO, prepper et al:
FOOD:
* Ramen - seems like you could find something that takes up less space for the calories (maybe even cup o soup?)
POWER - BRAIN AND ELECTRICITY:
* Documents on USB - same here, great idea! You should also print them off as a backup.
* Maps Kit - that water proof bag is pretty bulky, check out LOKSAK. They're perfect for this use. Or look up water proof map cases, those are what I use. LOKSAKs would also be great for your liquids.
* Need a bigger USB battery - so many tools use power these days! I like to have a something with a lot of power and then a second small unit (like what you have). Easier to use the small one when on the go. Speaking of power ... maybe rechargeable flashlights? I like that you're thinking about flashlights that can *also* use a standard battery, good call there!
TOOLS:
* On the machete - I don't get it. Seems like a useless tool in an urban environment. But if you must, there are a lot better machetes. IMO. I'd also ditch that pry bar, it's another example of there being much better options (lighter).
* Your rope and tarp game (the red one) could use an upgrade. You can get more rope is less space, with better rope. On the tarp - I think you're underestimating it's use. I would ditch the tent all together and get a really good tarp. Keeping the tent is a good idea too, but you get my point. Same on trash bags, gets some contractor grade bags. Makes them far more valuables with moderate weight/space increases.
Lastly, and without a doubt most important. You NEED a trauma kit. That first air kit is not going to solve any problems, just inconveniences. You need a trauma kit and you need training, almost more than the rest of your kit combined.
/// rant over ///
A pry bar could be very handy in an urban environment..
Lot of sheds can be broken into, in a grid-down lawless society, that could be worth the risk for the tools & supplies
Fractional silver may be better than gold, as it's easier to trade because it's not worth as much so there's more options to buy more common things with
I have seen a lot of bags and think this video is one of the better ones due to how specific it is to your region, the fact that you have thought about evacuation routes, choice of real world items and very grey man in orientation. I believe these bags should always be evolving. Two thought I would suggest you consider. 1. Consider hardening your electronics against EMP. It appears you live in S CA and have a long term bag. Earth quakes and civil unrest are probably your largest threat but that area is a strategic target and EMP is a possible SHTF. 2. Preposition items along your route. Food in a bear value buried in the sand in these very difficult to access evac routes or other items may be a reasonable idea. Rotate perishable items and before they go bad to homeless along your evac route and in SHTF, they see you they may remember your kindness and be a potential resource during bad times and your out a couple $ in food every couple months. Plus it allows you to monitor and grow in knowledge of evac routes. I like that your video didn’t start with this is my big out arsenal even thought I think self defense it an extremely important consideration in SHTF. Financial resources is an exceptional consideration that often gets over looked and is very important in high density areas. I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.
Very good vid I was looking for a vid like this
Thats great I am glad you enjoyed it!
There are only a few items that you carry that I would , But Don't take that as an insult as I lived in San Diego for a Year many years ago and for that region Your To Go Bag is Absolutely PERFECT. Like I said being that I live in a region where temperatures can be near 100 in the summer and 0 in the winter not to mention Weapons are Needed for protection from Wildlife in the Mountains and Lowlifes in the cities.
I am very impressed with your Food Selections ( I know Ramen Noodles aren't the most Nutritional things in this world ) But The Oats and Fruit will treat your Body well along with the nuts. Remember , There is no such this as a " PERFECT Bug out Bag " , However there is the PERFECT Bug out Bag for Yourself and your region. Well Done.
That a really well thought out and put together kit.
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, 👍🏼😎
Thank you
Where did you get your waterproof bags from?
I like the video because it gave me some new ideas, but as a petite woman, I know most of this wouldn't make it into my bag. 🙂
I originally packed my bag with lots of redundancies, but had to drop weight. It was too much and beyond reasonable expectations for my region and likely scenarios.
Thank you for the ideas.
Hey man, what kind of lighter is that tall black one? Looks like something id like to check out!
Hey its actually a ferro rod Gerber Bear Grylls Fire Starter [31-000699] www.amazon.com/dp/B004DT6TEK/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_8BDKVAWWJZ8923A0AAHS
I have a question those golden coins you carry are those sort of like inperson bit coin so you have time for transfering or are those goldcoins for barter?
Yes it is similar. I wouldnt count on most people knowing the proper value of it but If I went to a different country I would be able to get cash for them at a local jewelry, coin store or pawn shop potentially. They would be easier to carry across a border compared to a few thousand dollars of cash.
Aha! The long awaited bug out bag vid!
Love this :)
Thank you!!
Like the way you broke it down into sections. May have to replace the plastic trowel with a strong metal one. Cool video
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. Good call on getting a better trowel.
@@UrbanSurvivor mosko moto makes a lightweight aluminum trowel.
Good job on you kit. I would consider some kind of different eating utensil. There is no way you're eating Ramen with that CRKT....lol
Nice kit
Thanks for watching!
Know your regions. I too live in California, and rest assured, we get snow. This of course depends on where you live or where you have to travel. It’s fair to say, “we don’t get snow,” but it’s important to know where So Cal does in fact get snow. If you have to bug out on foot, and hypothetically had to hike through the Cajon Pass during a gnarly winter, if you’re not prepared for that in any capacity, you have two options… A) Wait out a blizzard, or B) Risk exposure. Again, it is a rarity to get snow in California, but one should have what is necessary to deal with cold winters. They can get wet, and depending on the route you might be forced to take, snow is a possibility. Feb/March of 2023, Running Springs, where I live, experienced 7’ of snow in 4 days. Locked us out for 2 weeks by car. Just sayin… 👍
But not in the Coachella Valley 😁
what are you just saying?
I have a suggestion for flashlights. The Zebralight SC64W/SC64C. It can last 3 months on it's lowest mode and it's something like 38 grams without the battery or 85 grams with. The electronics are potted so it's impossible to wreck. They do a AA flashlights and CR123A.
Very very well thought out except its more on the heavier side, personally i would leave some of the backup items at home to save weight. But still one of the best BOB to date
Good bag, i would add compact 1000V insulated high leverage diagonal cutter.
Great video man, keep it up. I really like how you dont try to pretend to know it all like the rest of the bearded old men on here who got out of the army 35 years ago after working as a cook for 4 years somewhere stateside lmao I seen a few things you have that i didnt, will be adding. Thanks for the video man and great pack!
Thanks Marcos, appreciate you watching. Im going to revisit this topic this year and hoping to lighten the load substantially!
Hi There The best advice I have ever heard , if you don't take it , then its already lite weight gear . This of course is balanced with the need to survive . Thus you will never be able to be super lite . If you want to drop some, weight I would drop some of the electronic gear and may be use only one torch, also only one towel , and two pairs of socks. Instead of the big knife with the saw and the pry bar use a light weight tomahawk. The Vikings used this tool with great efficacy. If you are considering this as an urban bug out bag , I would ditch the poncho for a decent light weight shell. I would also ditch the tent for a tarp, considering this is for a SHTF scenario, a tent , even well concealed makes you a target. You can roll yourself into a burrito with a tarp and draw far less attention to yourself. We have all seen the nature of humans when it comes to these situations
Great bug out bag!!! Maybe add a mess kit, a faraday bag, usb batteries, usb battery charger, and some entertainment items like cards, dice, etc.
Thanks for the tips! Glad you enjoyed the video!
45 lbs in manageable, if you can manage... I did a 10 day solo thru hike where well over half the trail is consistently above tree line... and never drops below about 10,000 -10,500 ft... one of the most brutal trails in the country... My loadout was about 45 pounds, which did include a Taurus 44 magnum Tracker stainless 4 inch barrel... and is a five shot cylinder, but I only carried four 305 grain Buffalo Bore rounds chambered....i left it on a dead cylinder for an added measure of safety and was one less heavy bullet I had to lug around... 😆 Anyway... point being is I was carrying this weight at altitude which increases the difficulty exponentially... so 45 pounds is very doable...
Thanks for sharing n' God bless brother
whAT does exponentially mean?
Here is some of my suggestion: Add a foldable backpack to your bag, it's very small (just a little bit bigger than your hand) and you can use it as an opportunity bag, grab stuffs with it while leaving your main bag at your camp. Or you can take some up stuffs from your main bag and put it inside the foldable backpack and give it to someone you want to help etc ... use your imagination.
If you ever find yourself in a survival situation and you don't have enough food for a proper meal then *do not eat anything at all !* . I have tried 3 days fasting with absolutely no food (only drinking pure water), no calories take in whatsoever and I was fine as hell (Note that I am used to eat only one meal a day so my body is kinda used to keto lol). Here is my experience, 3 days without food is easy (for me), 3 days with little food is hell difficultly ! Your body will get used to your new condition with no food and the hunger feeling will go away, but if you eat anything then good luck lol, the suffering and hunger feeling will be overwhelmed.
Thats a great suggestion about adding another small backpack. I had one in the kit originally but in an effort to save weight I left it out. It would be really useful for collecting stuff and bringing it back to camp or you can give it to somebody else to redistribute the weight of your main bag.
With regards to calories, ive heard you can go about 3 weeks without food. Your experience is interesting though. I am surprised that you felt better with no food than a small amount of food after 3 days.
nice video breakdown
Thanks I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Well thought out and fairly concise. Granted the bag is heavy but you did call it an inch bag which means you aint coming back. You are right your first aid kit is basically just a boo boo kit. A TQ and bandages are bulky but not heavy. If you are by the ocean and alone you may need it quickly. Since this is long term you will need a folding saw an a heavier knife for fuel processing. think long term. what might you need in a month or more.
For the higene kit i suggest you to add more soap and a pack of chooglans soap sheet's they are cheap compact and reallt usefuel
do you have a heavy duty bug out bag? like one for just living long term for like 6 month or more?
This is designed to be a heavy duty INCH ( I'm not coming home) bag as well. There's plenty of methods for filtering / pufying water, cooking, catching fish, collecting wood and tools that would make scavenging easier as well.
My Urban Get Home Bag 2021! 50+ Miles, 3+ Days (🎒+💧+🔦+🔥+🍫+📻) ruclips.net/video/23xpNofRWgM/видео.html
That's more practical than most on RUclips.
I don't like the idea of relying on electronics, but nite time= 10ish hours of blindness, so torches & solar are important.
I.N.C.H = I'm never coming home?
Once your 7 days worth of food runs out you become a refugee.
Protection from the elements and foraging equipment are my priorities. It would suck to have to saw down a coconut tree, but that could fill 50 people's belly's in one go without the risk of climbing or someone stealing your kit while you're up the tree
Unfortunately, I've been hiking with that same Gossamer gear Mariposa 6060 for over 500 miles loaded with 25 pounds and I can tell you that bag has a max carry of 29 pounds. Cheers
If you want ideas for how to cut weight from your pack, I suggest checking out the pack videos of long distance “through hikers”. Most do not bother with heavy knives (or pry-bars) because those are really not needed for traveling long distances, even in the wilderness. Dropping the machete and pry bar are two obvious considerations for weight because the limited situations whether they could become useful probably do not justify their weight.
Finally, carrying items like a pry bar and silcock key may arguably be treated as carrying burglary tools by law enforcement in an urban environment since they are tools used to break into or steal resources that are not yours.
It’s a bug out bag that is for a SHTF scenario so as you say this I believe police and law enforcement will be taking care of there own family so I doubt there will be as much law enforcement and a plus is you can conceal all those things in your bag. But hey what do I know.
Through hikers kits are meant for getting somewhere. Bug out bags are meant for getting away from somewhere. The difference is that one person knows where to go and the other has nowhere to go, his kit is a perfect bug out bag.
Johnny Lai, He’s already borrowed heavily from hiking gear load-outs (and done a good job of it). His pack is meant to prepare for basically becoming a refugee, not hiking the PCT.
like peanut butter you can use honey to replace it if you have more of a sweet tooth raw honey is a good choice too!
Haha I do have a smaller quantity of honey in the kit too but wouldn't want to eat a pound of it that's for sure.
Add a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a tube of antibiotic ointment to your first aid kit . Small wounds and scratches can become infected and turn into major problems.
I would add a 4 way silcox key, instead of the single. As well as toilet paper tablets, and like you mentioned an expanded first aid kit/IFAK, tourniquet at least, but maybe something to deal with more “bleeding” type wounds. Besides that, great bug out/backpacking bag.
My understanding is the the 5/16 silcox key will open the majority of spigots. For me it doesnt justify the extra weight to carry a 4 way. Yea. Definitely stepping up my med kit game as well as trying to cut some weight so stay tuned for an update on this kit next year!
For California I’d halve the food and double the water
Nice kit. I don't have quite as much stuff as you but in my kit I carry a larger first aid kit with a couple israeli bandages in addition. Also an array of meds for headache, diarrhea, upset stomach and allergic reactions. For tools I have a full size multibit screw driver and small one. 10" and 7" Knipex pliers wrenches as they are as good as everyone says they are and can get into tight spaces with 10x the grip force on anything you use them on and my Leatherman Rebar. In the winter I add a small wool military blanket to the kit. I have a lot of other stuff for fire, water filtration, food, shelter, clothing, electronics etc like you... I'm also a believer in the one is none rule so I have double and triple of mostly everything in case I break or loose something.
Thanks Practical Guy! Im going to add some more medications to the kit thats a great idea! Heard great things about Knipex pliers too! Might have to splurge for a set of those as well!
@@UrbanSurvivor It adds some weight carrying a couple of Knipex but I like having some thing that is capable. Most people lean towards the 7" as the optimal perfect size, I have big hands and I still like the 10" best and you get more leverage. I was using both of my Knipex to hold 1/8" round steel wire and shape it and squeezing with like 5 pounds of force gives 50 pounds of grip. It never slipped like I normally would with regular pliers. Here's a couple of decent videos on them. Good luck with the bug out gear! ruclips.net/video/gW5hCGcT6ak/видео.html

What about toltet paper ?
Good video, everyone's going to have their own preferences, better to have too much and ditch some if needs be,one thing you could look at is ditch toothpaste and carry small tub bicarb soda,does the same job and is good acid/ stomach remedy
Thats a great idea John, thank you!
They now sell coconut oil (solid) individual packets good for cooking & calories.
Haha I actually just picked those up the other day! They are really convenient.
G'day mate, great video. would suggest a telescopic fishing rod for your pack in case you need a better food source. there cheap and effective if you know how to fish. you also need some basic fire starter supplies. nothing too much since your doing Urban bugout but still. best of luck mate.
That's a great idea! I did include a gill net but couldn't hurt to have a backup method for getting food. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there brother!
You can use salt sticks brand electrolytes tablets as well as the nuun but you don't need water with the salt sticks brand
You should try a sos survival bar in you pack. It has 3600 calories and helps with minimal water usage.
That's a great idea!
Do you know the total carry weight of the bag when you have it full?
Its around 45lbs. Im working on a lightweight build as well thats more suited for long distance urban survival.
Ok, I noticed that bag is rated for about 35 lbs. Being such a thin material, if it got snagged on a bush etc. all of the contents could explode out easily.
What about a bump key for the tools section, could be a good include
you mean like... to snort coke?
Silly question but what life expectancy of the foods you have? Ramen, cookies ect
Most of the foods expiration dates are about 2 years but they could be eaten safely a few years later.
i think the book use for plants i think is also not just good to know but good reading material and if you ever memorize it. It could become toliet paper and then burned
Yeah, that book could be photographed ands stored on my phone and left out. Good idea to save some weight.
Nice 👍
I recommend 1 upgrade. Get a USGI Poncho, the grommets come in extremely useful.
Thanks for the heads up on that I will check it out!
Great video.. small medications go a long way. Advil, x-lax, Pepto pills. Things of that nature.. new foods and situations can leave your body in rough shape. I always keep a small assortment of meds in my bag, they might save your life.
Thanks Kevin! Glad you enjoyed the video. Im going to add a few more assorted meds to the kit, thank you for the suggestion.
I feel like you have way to many things that you dont need. Like the 4 or 5 knifes the shovel amongst other things.
thats a frameless pack and gossamer gear only rate them to about 35 pounds. After the first few hours carrying that thing its going to suck. I think you need to do an actual trial run for a day out in the wilderness and it will certainly highlight some issues for you.
I suggest we look to experienced through-hikers of the Application trail to see how important weight is in selecting gear that will be absolutely essential in an extreme, global SHTF situation (world war) that could last for an extended period of time. In such a worst-case INCH scenario we will likely find ourselves on foot unless we have a safe, well-stocked basecamp within one tank of gas of our home. Like most, my home is my only base. My well-planned, well-stocked INCH bag (Eberlestock) weighs 80 + lbs, without the essential firearm(s) or ammo. Most people (including me - a 74-year-young ex-marine) are not capable of carrying that weight very far. I predict that those who can carry the weight will quickly abandon gear they find less than absolutely essential - just like long-haul hikers. I am not suggesting we start an INCH situation with as little gear as possible. I suggest we give more priority to selecting essential gear that is both lightweight and durable, as well as advance consideration to the first things we could abandon if necessary.
Better carabiners. Lol. Ones that dont say "not for climbing" right on them. Otherwise great video and great items. Lots of duplication without feeling cumbersome
Haha yeah thats a great idea. Are there any that you recommend?
personally i feel like bugout bags is something msot people don't enjoy or the long term survival ones like 1month or more but 7 day and below i think most people don't mind currently im trying to get some simple stuff done before since bugout bag gear and stuff is expensive when i don't really have any money or job probs cause im not old enough(sorry for long rantish)
You should start by finding an old backpack and tossing in some food and water and you will be better off that most people. Over time you can slowly expand your preps and and more and more items as needed. I've been collecting this gear over the last 6 years or so lol.
@@UrbanSurvivor personally im first prepping up some food for bug in but im planning to at least have a car kit just to be better off im taking what candian prepper did but throwing more food and blah
What you could add to the medical compartment would be active charcoal. It helps with neutralizing toxins in you body and could be an actual lifesaver.
Hey thats a nice tip on the activated charcoal ill have to look more into that.
@@UrbanSurvivor go for it man
Used to filter water and inside gas masks also...
Thanks for sharing. Constructive feedback:
Whilst the Mariposa is a great pack, its not designed to carry what you’re intending to put in it. The pack probably won’t break but its not going to be comfortable and you’re not going to be very mobile nor travel far.
You need to have a hard look at what you’re intending to bring and remove at least 3/4. Some thoughts.:
a) generally one or two rechargeable light sources should be sufficient
b) anything more than two means of fire starting is excessive
c) a single multi tool, which includes a blade, is probably way more than you’ll need
d) no to the pry bar
e) if you’re carrying dehydrated towel tablets you won’t need the other towels
Generally it’s better to have trail runners that dry quickly than waterproof boots that never dry if they get wet
Thank you for the feedback. You are right about the mariposa being overloaded. My plan is to bugout a relatively short distance in an urban environment. I agree that there may be some over redundancies and room to shed a few more pounds (including the pry bar) , but 3/4 of the stuff seems excessive...
Good tip on the shoes as well. I generally wear running shoes on a daily basis. Always good to be ready to move quick at a moments notice lol
Wasn't surprised when i saw tge maps say California 😂 i doubt you actually got all that to fit in that bag but if you did it would be a nightmare getting to anything not to mention all the time it would take to get it packed and go at a moments notice. Its like you plan on being a beach hobo for a week.
Damn 45 pounds thats so light great bag. Wish I could get mine down to 45 but i plan on building a pretty substantial shelter when i get to where Im going. So I needs mah tools. But ive rucked with 80+ pounds for long damn distances and i stay in relatively good shape so ill be alright. Yeah get that first aid kit up to snuff and keep a baseball bat in the the car or where ever the bag is. Good for defense propping stuff up or open, snakes, all kinds of stuff.
Yeah 80 pounds is a lot! Hopefully you dont have to walk too far. Maybe you can find some kind of combination tools with multifunctionality to help lighten the tools load... Im trying to bring the weight down on this kit to 30 so covering distances day after day is more manageable. But yes, good call on the medkit and a nice tool for bashing. Ive got the Nex 16 walker in the side door of my 4runner ready to go lol.
@@UrbanSurvivor nice man you will definitely cover some good ground with only 30 pounds. Yeah Ive thought about that combination tool idea before thing is I have a felling axe and a agawa canyon boreal 21 saw and one of those cold steel shovels, a scotch eye for some intricate work and 2 wood chisels. And I just picket up a game cart for carrying a lot of the weight too. I have a 4 yo and he cant carry much so the cart will come in handy for carrying water heavy tarps ammo and whatever else for the fam. I might try to cut 10 pounds off the pack itself which will work for me that will bring it down to less than 60. Im 250 and strong so thats good for me. Hope we never jave to use this stuff other than for regular camping trips but its always good to have it all and be prepared.
This is AWSOME dude, how much did you spend approximately on it all?
Thank you! Im im well over a $1000 on this kit but most of the items double as my backpacking gear.
@@UrbanSurvivor thanks dude ❤️
I just had to use those storm proof matches that were two years old. Total junk. They burned - Would not ignite anything. Go with regular kitchen matches in a pill bottle.
Were they they UCO brand storm matches or something else?
I would change the plastic shovel into a metal one so it wouldnt break
Do you sell these, please do
Some waterproof flares
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what a loot drop actually looks like. 😂 cash gold food and leave the yuppy gear for the next guy
Dam. Best kit yet on yt!! Good job.
Any mock training vids in the future?
Thanks a lot Im glad you enjoyed it! Mock training vids are a great idea! 👍Hopefully I can do that in the future! Right now marathon training is eating up most of my time outdoors.
lol you reall said mora "niv" kniv is knife. this bag makes you a target in SOcal
Parabéns pela mochila. Eu melhoraria apenas o seu IFAK e acrescentaria alguns ítens para segurança pessoal.
Gracias para su ayuda!
45lbs is pretty reasonable for an inch bag. Nice set up.
You should add a fishing kit.
There is a gill net in the kit. Would you recommend something else?
@@UrbanSurvivor the reason why I recommend a fishing kit is that fishing line and hooks have more uses than just fishing. You add a ferolrod or fire steel to your fire kit. Your med kit should have a nail clippers, tweezers, pins, needles, a mirror added if you dont have it and a tick remover
I suggest you to change the stuff that is brightly colored like the t shirt, the jacket etc cause you would stand out too much
The most likely scenario you're going to need your kit for is for a catastrophic earthquake which is a reality living in CA. Even so the best plan will be to stay at home with your resources and your kit. The money is probably one of the best items in your kit so if you have to leave town, you can take a plane/train to a friend or family member in another city or state vs having to go live in the woods. All the wilderness gear is cool but not needed if you live in an urban area an have the option to go live with a friend or family member.
might want to rethink food . you have a lot of high sodium food hope you have a lot of water . l stay with high protein calorie food .. i carry a stove that uses fuel tabs or sticks of wood . carry extra fuel tabs for cooking and starting fire . carry vaseline multi use for chap lips burns fire starter etc . baby powder keep areas dry . get a better first aid kit i added nail clippers tweezers Q tips . do you have a canteen cup drink and eat out of
Your horse is going to get tired carrying all your survival trinkets.
45lbs isn't that bad if you train for it. But remember it'll get lighter as you eat your food and get rid of other disposable one off items.
