Just a "In Loving Memory" Story regarding my Father an a "Watch Cap"!
My Dad fought in WWII and Korea in the U.S. Navy. He was issued a "Watch Cap" in Bootcamp.
During WWII he had two boats sunk out from under him. Then he served until after Korea and left the Navy.
Every winter in Connecticut he wore THAT very same "Watch Cap" that survived WWII and Korea until His returning to Our LORD in 2000,,,,!
Imagine having that same "Watch Cap" with the memories it held for over 50 years!
In Loving Memory of my Father!
Best to ya',,,,!
I've watched dozens of these "Get Home Bag" videos. What I've learned about building one is that half of the components are identical. That is a gun, knife, water filter, medical kit, shelter, etc. About another quarter of the bag is built around where you live and/or what time of year you're in. The last quarter pretty much seems to be optional, whatever makes you feel safe and you're personal style of survival. I have to admit, my bag is in a constant state of flux. I change things up based on the times of the year and where my travels may take me. Plus, I may add things or change things up based on people's ideas. Not only does all this keep me prepared, I just enjoy the hell out of it.
you desperately need a new hobby.... a girlfriend maybe?
A friend of mine got stuck in a blizzard near Lake Tahoe. (He worked at one of the ski resorts, as did I.) Luckily, he knew to keep emergency supplies in his car. Several warm blankets, extra socks, food he could eat on the spot, drinking water and a battery powered radio. (This was long before cell phones). The local cops found him in the morning. I suggest you take into account what environment and the weather before leaving your vehicle.
fascinating idea...think it to it's logical conclusion. what is in a get home bag for a person on the moon? soon there will be many of them. not too early to start thinking.

I almost had to spend the night out in freezing temperatures while bird hunting. Was completely exhausted in rough terrain. It was supposed to be a short hunt so I didn't bring my survival gear. Lesson learned. Thanks for sharing.
Always great videos. I follow your channel for about 7 years now. Never gets below awesome.
Thanks Brother! I appreciate the kind words.
I always have extra stuff. I always overpack. Three fire starting methods, two rechargeable lights, one 20,000mah battery, one good knife and one good multi tool are non-negotiable. The rest is usually gym clothes, street clothes, body wash and a towel. I’m always looking for the best pack for my edc gym bag. It goes everywhere with me.
Nice!! Always have those few extra things in case the day goes tits up
Same man, the hunt for the perfect bag never ends I fear haha!
I use a 5.11 rush 12 as my EDC/gym bag. It’s awesome and held up great to about 5 years of almost daily use but looking for something less tactical, quite like the mystery ranch urban assault.
I'd keep a flashlight in my bag and batteries for the light. I'd also have light sticks as another light source.
I have the 5-11 Rush 12 2.0; overall excellent bag for my EDC. The only negative is the removal of the water bottle pocket. My boss taught me 2 is 1 and 1 is none; I carry extra items too.
Just because you have it with you doesn't mean you have to take all of it.
@@chriswilson9230 Best bag ever! Just a tiny shame it’s too tactical looking… not that most people even noticed. Removal of the water bottle pocket?
I love that top facing zipper area for glasses and quick essentials!
I’ve bought 2 / 35L roaring fire backpacks for two of my 12 year old grandsons for their school bags . They have held up well under that kind of stress !🤣
Where did you get them? I can't find this particular bag anywhere.
@@Kayak1088 I scrolled through to the back of the website and found them there on roaring fire website . But that was almost a year ago .
@@Kayak1088 found the 45L one for 40bucks ! The 35L says it’s out of stock !
Look under tactical bags
Nobody can abuse a bag like a teenager.

I like when he makes this survival backpack videos 😊 I always get my backpack and lay everything out on the table just make sure I don't miss anything... The other day I went out to one of the APPALACHIAN trails just to test some of my gear and when I pulled my mountain map I forgot my compass 🤦 I did have my phone on me but i thought if I use my smartphone for guidance I'll be cheating locally I had a luminox Bear Grylls edition I used as compass but now I have 2 compass. I always remember Sootch always say 2 is 1 and 1 is...well you get the point
A Get Home Bag is great for all emergencies I was stranded in the mountains once my bag kept me comfortable, feed and hydrated
Thank for the good video
Haven’t seen a good GHB setup video in a minute. Great to see a refresh for the newbies.
In this case, you said this was a one overnight bag to allow you to cover ground and get home. Overall, this is a solid kit. Given the limited timeframe, you may want to have less redundancy and add a few more items to cover other potential issues.
In addition to your EDC blade(s)...you have a fixed blade, a SAK, a multi-tool, two folders, and a folding saw. I would keep the fixed blade and either the SAK or multi-tool PLUS whatever you EDC - leave the rest at home. Given the scissors on the SAK or multi-tool, I would also leave out the nail clippers.
You have two lighters, a ferro rod, matches, a Fresnel lens, soaked cotton balls, two forms of tinder tabs, fat wood, and a candle. You have no food to cook, and a water filter. For a single overnight, a fire may not be necessary. I would keep two lighters wrapped in duct tape, and the fat wood - leave the rest at home.
I would swap the water filter for a Sawyer that is compatible with a Smart Water bottle (or equivalent). This will let you scoop water and drink on the go. You can keep the bottle you have and double your water carrying capacity. Adding some water tablets may also be a good option.
You have a headlamp and two smaller flashlights. I would keep the headlamp only, with extra batteries or the power bank & cable. You will also likely have your phone which has a flashlight on it.
I would add more snacks. While I can suffer through a 30km road march without snacks, I'd prefer not to. I would leave out the fishing kit. You want to get home, not dig for bait, then sit and wait for the fish to bite. If you think you need food...bring food.
I would also make sure the FAK included caffeine - which I need to function. In fact, add a small pill bottle that has a handful of NSAIDS, antidiarrheals, antihistamines, and anything else you take regularly.
I would add some form of rain/wind protection. You may not always be wearing clothing conducive to a long foot march in the rain. A hard shell top is always a good option. A poncho is a good all around choice and can double as a small tarp (if you do this, pre-attach guy lines at the corners), but may draw more attention than you want in your area. An umbrella might be a less conspicuous choice for some light rain/sun protection.
IME, the small emergency bivy is about useless in the cold, if you touch the bivy material conduction takes over. The emergency bivy is an OK wind & rain barrier. Take an air mattress of some kind, even a 3/4 length. Ground insulation has the largest impact in a sleep & shelter system. A poncho/tarp and an air mattress, combined with your clothing and the supplemental fleece should get you through one "unplanned" night out.
Your one of the first ones I’ve seen that actually carry extra socks most videos I’ve seen never mention socks
Fun intro! Glad to see Roaring Fire's latest, they make great packs and this is a real leap forward. I'll definitely be getting one for either a get home bag or a day pack
Your videos are inspirational and very practical. I have been learning and I do appreciate the time you put in to deliver the most practical survival practices. Thank you.
An excellent video and wonderful gear. Thanks! Personally, I would carry more food and a five-hour energy drink. I would also keep excellent walking shoes in the car/truck. I would add Moleskin to the pack to deal with foot blisters along with DEET to ward off mosquitos.
I always have to check my bags frequently. My wife is always taking things out of them and not replacing it or telling me about it. She is not prepper minded.
Awesome, I carry an emergency get home bag in my truck, i carry all the equipment you carry on yours plus some freeze dried food and a jet boil, im 65 years old so I cant run a marathon in 2 hours so just focus on getting to your destination safely
I had many questions about the bag itself and you answered them right away! Thank you for this.
A good addition is a spare set of keys. It would suck to walk home then have to break in.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone from Syracuse NY
Happy Thanksgiving Earl!
Being what some would refer to as old our kits also include our everyday meds. One a recent trip we discovered that we forgot some of our important meds, fortunately we had an adequate supply in our bags.
The bloopers add the realistic element to the videos. Awesome content.
Great bag all the way around.
The nice thing is you explain what is get home bag without saying a word in the beginning of video ❤
It's been a while since i did not watch one of your kit vidéos but it still like them as much as before!
Very good GHB vid. Having enough to get you home from a further distance you can always just leave what you don’t need behind.
Good video. In your Bivvy have you ever thought of adding in a silk sleeping bag liner? They're the same packed size as the Bivvy, so no big deal for space really. I've bought a few and they really do add another 12 to 15 degrees of warmth to those Bivvy's, BUT I've also learned to get the highest silk "MOMME" rating you can, and go with at least a 30 momme rating. It's just how they rate silk per 100 yards by 45 inches wide. A 30 momme is 30 pounds in weight, and a 15 momme is half that at 15 pounds, and anything less than 30 pounds tends to be too light weight for field use, at least for me anyway. These two together really make a great compact combo emergency sleeping bag. Keep up the great work.
I've been looking for a bag with all these features! Sold!
Excellent set up for sure.
Rule number 1 - blend in - a tactical look can get ya hurt
Sunscreen, advi, allergy meds, copy of your ID, keys, pancho + bag cover.
Great video as always loaded with valuable information. Thanks
Awesome information thank you i keep a few things in my pick-up 👍👍i will be adding to it
Great video. I've been updating my "get home bag" lately. I also keep a good pair of hiking boots and a wool blanket in my car. The only thing I would suggest you maybe add is some sort of metal container so you can boil water. Even if you don't have any food, drinking hot water can really help keep your core temperature up. If you are cold, drinking cold water may help with hydration but will lower your temperature thus making you less likely to drink and then more likely to become dehydrated. I have a large titanium mug that nests onto my Grayl water filter/bottle. I understand you not wanting to carry a load of food but I would suggest you at least put a couple of sachets of soup mix or similar in there. They weigh nothing and take up no space. If nothing else it will really help with moral if you need to spend the night in the woods. Thanks and keep the videos coming. G
great show. thanks
Excellent you have a stogie!!!😊
Very nice little pack! And great set up. I feel like you’ve got about every item checked!
I love the way u over do some items...but i also like that i have basically everything u have sugested..but as ad ons i have a small radio, and a small crow bar plus a small multi fuel stove.and a power bank.
Really digging the old ford cabover minus the box .
I just put my GHB together last week. It is not a bug out bag, so my pack is way lighter, than my bug out bags. Your videos have help me in building my packs, so thanks for that.
I've been looking into Maxpedition for a small EDC/Get home bag... they're sold out on several that I'm interested in... I love the size of this bag. I love the pouches too..great video, as usual. I'll definitely be checking out Roaring Fire
Very informative video Don, thanks!
Thanks
Thank you for all of your great videos, Sir!

Solid load out brother. Similar to mine.
I have additional hygiene stuff (my wife is with me many times).
Extra ammo, trauma heavy since I'm a paramedic.
Lots of great items, some other stuff could include a whistle, paracord and a rain poncho. 👍
Appreciate the info. God bless!!
Good video. Thanks for sharing.
That little pack is nice! I have a Pygmy falcon II that is great but still lacks organization. My focus is a little of the get home and a bit of ‘oops, shouldn’t have gone down THAT trail’, lol. But I really don’t have a single focus bag, they all get loaded out to what I plan for that day. Now that I have an excuse to buy that little pack, I might just go ahead and make it a dedicated ‘bug whatever’ pack!
I always love the outtakes.😂
Very nice pack. Looks similar layout wise to the 511 rush 12. But I may get a roaring fire for the Mrs.vehicle
I remember when you had that huge big! This suits you better
Love the music 🎶🤩
According to Wranglestar, you can actually use that corkscrew on your knife to pull out a knot that is pulled really tight and you can't get with your fingers you just stick the point into the knot and twist it slowly and it will Jack the string out to where you can grab it with your fingers and pull the knot loose.
Yep, works great. Have 10 year old twins and use it for getting rid of knots all the time.
I carry a Stanley fat max hack saw, one hand saw, because it takes saws all blades. It's a back up but means I can carry a wood and metal cutting blade on my daily roll. A few blades backed away. Cut pretty much any thing wood metal plastic. Takes up little room very useful
You have the most in-depth, informative reviews out there! Any chance you have a list of the contents of your GHB?
thats a nice setup.
A good video. Some will agree or disagree with some items included or not included. Thing is that it is best to have more than less. My thoughts are I can take out what I don’t need before I take off for home. Minimum for me would be fire starting equipment. Not planning to stop or stay the night, however if for some reason I have to stop I don’t want to be cold. Where you live also comes into play when deciding what you want to put on your back. Energy bar helps too, jut to keep you moving. In the end every bag would be different based on you and your needs.
from GER, urban environment, 37 ltres backpack, additional food for 2 days plus raincover, plus heavy wire cutters, plus 3 ltres of water on the go.👋
Don't forget to get clear safety glasses if you have to travel through a wooded area at night. Don't want to get poked in the eye with a branch.
Nice. SOG and KA-BAR make good folding saws too I think.
Love this bag. I like the pouches too. They cost about as much as my slingshot bag from roaring fire. Love that bag too. Only bad part of that bag is where the single strap attaches to the bottom. Its weak and tore loose. Rigged up a biner thru the strap. This bag is missing the d rings up around the grab handle and maybe some webbing at the bottom to attach a roll of sone sort. Awesome bag nonetheless.
Happy Thanksgiving! I live in the Desert South West and 70-80 miles from home when on the highway. I need at least a pack that contains water & at least some food...not sure that small pack can get that done 🤔 that being said, it appears to be high quality and definitely has value! Thanks for the evaluation ..
The Desert South West is a brutal environment to be in, from what I've seen water is your main concern. Perhaps look into the 2 liter military canteens or something like that on a belt system since water is so heavy. The rest of the items can go into a light pack.
I’m always entertained when people say they’re only packing the bare essentials for a a one-day get-home scenario or whatever and there’s a fishing kit in the bag. I know it takes up no space or weight at all, just amusing how often I’ve seen it. 😊
Yeah, I need boots or sneakers, 2 L water and I'm good for 2 days. Once walked 20 miles in flip flops, no water, feet a little sore.
For the group or Scooch, where did you get that really small light that was attached inside your bag? You pull it off the magnetic attachment and it turned on? Neat little light. Thanks you always great videos. Happy Thanksgiving.
Another point. Those bivy's can be deadly. You will be warmer at first but then you will sweat and that can lead to hypothermia in cold weather. Mors Kochanski has made this point over and over again. The best use of silver coated mylar blanket is to reflect heat on your body from a fire.
Always love your videos. Been looking at possibly down sizing my get home bag. I work 40 miles from home but still looking to lighten things up. Question, maybe I missed it on this one but didn't notice water filtration or treatment. Did you have it packed in the water bottle?
Great Video! Lots of great things to consider! 💪🇺🇸
I love this video. I'm going to completely redo my GHB as a result. Is there a list somewhere of names and sources for everything in the bag? Thx
Its a better safe than sorry kinda thing, I have a bag in every vehicle, yes I also carry a spare tire and fire extinguisher also.
two things i use is a 15 inch pry bar and also a small butane stove to boil water, just in case i am not able to get a fire going because don't want to attract unwanted attention.
Nice bag. I like the lower profile non-military look. Think those pads or feet should have been slotted or some webbing on bottom as well to use for attaching a bedroll or tarp/poncho/woobie etc on bottom if needed.
I strapped a calapsible cane to mine in case of injury both pre walkout or during. Walking stick can't take the weight if a broken/sprained ankle.
Great video!
Looks good to me!
great vid bud
Great bag; great video...could you do something more stealthy? We need recommendations and reviews for more stealthy gear.
I don't care for bags that scream tactical. If you are in a city you stick out, you become something people remember. "Getting home" means not being a target, not standing out, being the person others forget the minute you turn a corner.
No one ever talks about the need for wool socks. Try walking 10 miles with cotton socks and your feet will be toast! You will develop severe blisters. Wool socks are a necessity for any get home or bug out set up!
That's because these videos are for people who drive cars all the time!😅
GREAT GREAT VIDEO.
Waw. You put a Sebenza knife in your bob ? It’s a good thing to see that someone puts the super expensive knives on duty.
Right there with you on the coffee! 😂
Nice looking bag. I would need the side pocket to accommodate a GeoPress. Also, maybe ditch the first aid patch? I think it draws unwanted attention to the contents.
The thing about multi tools is if that's what you're relying on and you loose it, you've lost everything, pliers, knife, scissors, etc. I have multi tools and they're great but always have stand alone items as well, separate pliers, scissors, small crescent wrench and of course knives. They of course, take up more room and add a few extra ounces to the pack, but that's a tradeoff I'm willing to make. I also prefer AA or AAA powered flashlights because if I should need to replace the batteries for some reason, they're ubiquitous. You can find them anywhere while CR123 batteries are more of a specialty and probably aren't available at the corner Jiffy Rip. I keep lithium Energizers in my packs because they don't corrode and I don't put them in the flashlights unless needed. I have lithium jumper packs in each vehicle in case of a dead battery or to help someone else that may need a jump. Those battery packs also double as a flashlight/SOS signal, phone/tablet/laptop charger. If I need to abandon my vehicle and walk, I'll throw those in the pack as well, they're about 5"x7" but don't weigh much and have more than enough power to last until I get home.
One thing I thought about was having some sort of vision enhancer..........like a monocular. I have a 16x power that I bought years ago from some un-named site for a decent price. Any manner of things can cause you to rely on your get home bag and enhanced vision can be a life saver in many ways.
My hillbilly cousin has carried for *decades* a German surplus tank crew leather pack. It is small and inside is a cheap, Winchester monocular.
Excellent video. The Sebenza knife is overkill knife though. Too expensive for a get home bag!
Hi....where did you get your emergency tool from? Great video..thank you!!!
Really enjoy your videos. Any chance you can get your hands on Viktos backpacks/slings. I would enjoy your review on those bags. Thanks.
Ive got a Faraday cage ammo can and bugout bag in my car, I don't leave home without it.
I have one in my truck I need to take it out and maybe put some thing new in it.
I get the need for redundancies but how many knives does one need? Adds weight. I also carry a GHB and the items packed have been used in a pinch when traveling etc. So I can appreciate packing a variety of items. However, if it’s truly a get home bag I would consider lightening the load considerably and use it for its intended purpose… to get home.
Consider adding a few single bills or quarters… Although not ideal because of their weight. This can be used to operate a vending machine that you may come across on traveling. You can purchase drinks and or snacks.
Hi I'm making a small sealing ring around the big lighter. This means that the gas cannot escape on its own.
greetings from Germany
QUESTION: can you do a video on strategy for getting home in a power out situation, where vehicles are impacted and not working? specifically talking about when you work on one side of a major city, but live on the other side. example, work on north side of Detroit and live on the southwest side, where the drive is 48 miles. Do you go through the city or go around, could turn a two day walk into a 3 or 4 day walk. Strategy and considerations traversing a place you don't go after dark in good times. thoughts?
Maybe the only thing to add would be work gloves. If you have a saw in case you need to cut through branches, gloves would be a huge plus. Won't take up that much room in the bag.
Now do an urban one please.
Good vid. But what kind of bag do you have for when there is no longer a home to get back to?
Great stuff. Although, I do find finger nail clippers very unnecessary. Yeah, water , dead without in 3 days. Food, which you don't carry much cause it's just getting home, dead in 7 days. Finger nail clippers, i think you can go awhile without trimming them. Then use the scissors on the inox, chew them off, or tear them off. Yes, possible redundancy but based on the need and many other options , completely not necessary.
Great video. Naturally, every individual may have a different variation depending on his or her circumstance. I think some people are too hypercritical on purely informational videos. The overall suggestions and ideas are great as usual.
