Do you want to see me do more vids like this? What would you have added/removed?
Thanks for watching!
It's funny you say no one talks about this but I know I've seen the get home bags or load outs. Usually it's people that work in a city or far enough from home that getting home could be a mini adventure.
I think you should definitely keep doing videos like this, heck you should do a basic canning video. You can do eggs.
Blister patches for when your walking far, a blister can really affect mobility, and get infected. My mum died of sepsis during covid, 2021, sepsis is very easy to get infact. So antibacterial oinment/gel aswel. If you can't move, your as good as dead anyway and movement conventionally solely relies on the feet if your a hominid.
I absolutely would like to see more videos like this. Thank you!
Here is a tip. On ever lighter I store, I wrap about 4-6 feet of duct tape around it. Useful thing to have and takes up less room than if you have the tape separately.
Excellent idea! Thanks for adding
Great tip! I wrapped my lightwrs 1” Gorilla tape. Secure the fas lever with a Ranger band. Then wrap 12ft. of Bank line at the bottom space.
Another addition would to add one of those military can openers that are foldable and flat. I also am thinking of adding a safety pin and paper clip under the Bank line wrap
Never know when you need to “McGiver “ something!!
Gtape burns better. Tad of tp.
How big is a bic lighter with four feet of duct tape wrapped around it?
@@dibroc8348 Standard size most of the time. If you are using one of the mini's, then tear the duct tape long wise and make it thinner.
The lighter trick with the twist tie is brilliant! Many thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for watching
Afternoon. 100% agree. The entire idea of getting home because of an emergency or situation is to get home, hopefully as quick as you are able, the safest you can. Just my thoughts, gear to your environment, area, season. Know your routes and distance as well as your capabilities. This is not a camping trip, plan on getting home as quickly as possible. If you are not going to use it or need to use it, it is just dead weight slowing you down. ✔️
Bingo, great add. Thank you! Get home asap!
My work is 10 minutes walking from my home so I've created similar kit + powerbank, spare cellphone and wound dressing. It has another use: a kit to take on vacations. In case of repairs/emergency you have something and it's small enough to take it everywhere with you while wearing shorts
Great adds to the list, thanks for sharing
Best preparedness channel on RUclips, you don’t miss, brother!
Appreciate you!
I carry nearly everything you mentioned in this little kit in a belt pouch. You can never know when things might happen. I liked this vid because I enjoy seeing what others carry that I might have overlooked myself. Thanks.
Same here! Love seeing others ideas. Thanks for the support
Couple of others replied that they carry a pouch on their belt. I do the same with a double belt (military/police, cobra buckle) with leatherman, bits, flashlight, fixed blade Esee, key latchand a safari land quick lock holster.
The kit that I use mollie snaps onto the back of my belt so it’s removable. If the kit isn’t on the back of my belt it moves to my chest or goes into my pack.
Crap, I should a video too…
🙋🏽♀️Fellow flashlight nut here! Yes to reviews on lights.
You got it!
I carry one just like that everyday with almost all the same items. Add a sillcock key to the outside mesh pouch so you can get some water along the way
Nice add on the key! Little heavy but would fit! Thanks for watching
@@PracticalPreparednessagree about the weight. Someone should make a titanium one and im sure would sell really well. Hell even hardened aluminium would probably work at least for the few times you’d use it in an emergency
I’d love to see a comprehensive review of flashlights that you have and/or like.
Noted! Thank you
Preppers underestimate the amount of walking that may take place in a get home situation. Rucking 10+ miles (which is not far in a car) with a 30+lb bag will suck. Small, light, compact is the way to go.
That’s why I urge ppl to put their pack and walk a distance with it. Eye opener
I agree with many other comments. Travel as light as possible and get home as quick as you can. Wear a pouch on your belt. Since we never know what situations we may face, hide some cash (maybe in a pill case) and add it in there. This may sound silly but someone “trying to help” may not actually be helping but ripping you off. Consider adding something like a Victorinox also. Tons of uses with one of those. Jmho
Great adds. I like the belt pouch idea if able
Most of that I carry in my pockets or on my belt. GHB in my truck which I don't go far without. My EDC has a blanket and 6x8 tarp and enough cordage to build a shelter as well as completing the 10c's and carrying my lunch and some food for my dog. I rarely go more than 20km from home except when going camping or visiting my family 1000s of km from home: and I usually take home with me when I go there. I like that headlamp, and have several other ones in my BOB, but usually wear a hat with lites in the brim so don't have one in my EDC. Flashlight in my pocket tho. I also carry a Zippo and lighter fluid, makes starting a fire easy!!
Lighters are so worth it for the fast fires. My olight attaches to my hat too which is handy. Nice setup. Anything that can up your odds on getting home.
When you were talking about old cars breaking down, it reminded me of the time I had to use my belt, to tie up my muffler. I was over 40 miles from home.😂
Hahaha thats what I'm talking about. I've had to use a coat hanger a couple times, but a belt is unique. Did you use it after that? Prob burnt to a crisp lol
@PracticalPreparedness didn't have a coat hanger or anything else to use to tie it up, and no, I wasn't able to use the belt again.😆
@SSGTJAB I figured, smart thinking
Really enjoyed this content, keep them coming 👍🇦🇺✌️
Thanks, will do!
Yes would love a video on flashlights. Use mag lights I've had for years, no clue on which of the new flashlights are the way to go now
Will do! So many models of them, but I personally love Olight, Surefire and Streamlight. Can't go wrong with these
Less can be more, especially for a Get Home Bag. We're covering ground as fast and as safely as possible, not camping and bushcrafting. Good vide. Keep em coming.
Right on
I've a Real expérience with bug in / out bag.
I broke my leg badly, in the Woods, brought to the hospital like fast.
While hospitalised, i was realy happy to have in my bag the following items:
An AM FM SW small radio and batteries.
Pain relieve medics.
Energy bars food.
Tabacco and lighter.
Toothbrush toothpaste and soap.
spare Underwear
Bible.
Loading wire and charger.
Paper and pen.
Flashlight and knife.
Rope and ducktape.
By emergency expérience and training in your prepperness, you aim a better result.
Thanks for your channel, keep preppin', god bless people of good will.
French Prepper, over and out.
Love the real life stories being shared, thank you!
7.40 simple Fresnel lens, not only for fires, I always carry in my wallet in case i forget my glasses.
They are great, just practice with them
Thanks for making this kind of content. I always learn something new.
Two suggestions to consider: a silcock key-it's a little heavy, but worth the weight, IMO. And while you might not need it, the small size of a P38 or P51 can opener warrants consideration.
Great considerations. Def room for the p38
I wish someone would produce a silcock key made out of a super-strong plastic. The metal ones are too damn heavy!
Nice kit, I liked it 👍
Thanks!
Like the video BUT I use the Hydroblu water straw. It's about the size of a pen and it comes with a replacement filter, it doesn't filter as much but you don't need the syringe to clean and it filters out like diesel fuel.
Checking this out as we speak! Thanks for sharing this
A glow stick, activated, then dropped into a disposeable bottle of water makes for a long lasting soft light ( 12 to 18 hours )
Attach a cord if you want, to hang around your neck, inside a tent, or hang on a branch.
Glow sticks can be used to mark trails, locate your dog if one is attached to its collar, ..etc
My get home bag, is a 26 ltr condor pack @ 32lbs. It goes with me everywhere.I could easily have to hoof it 20 miles, if things went south.
Good job staying fit. I love condor too I had that as my primary for awhile
Dang you must have that little 26 liter packed dense! My 46 liter pack I'm at about 22 lbs dry weight!
Sadly, plastic water bottles are everywhere. Convenience stores, vending machines, trash cans, on the edge of the road. If you need one and you’re anywhere near civilization, you’ll probably find one and if you’re using a filter, it really doesn’t matter if it’s a bit dirty.
They are! Definitely use when you need to
I carry about the same as you but also have a few bandaids thrown in. One difference is that I live in the desert and always have a gallon of water in the car.
I’m not in the desert and I keep a gallon :). Very smart. I visited AZ recently and brought 10 gals. Desert makes me paranoid haha
@@PracticalPreparedness places where it snows makes me paranoid :)
Sweet bag! Thanks for the tips! Practice. Yes, please make more of these types of vids! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Thank you! You too!
Great little kit. I couldn’t tell, but did that kit have a place where you can attach it to a belt? Using the twist tie around the lighter top is a very smart idea. Another helpful video. Thank you
Yes! I clip it using a carabiner to a belt or a bag. Very versatile.
Cool little module! Hard to answer your question about what should be added or removed since it’s part of a larger kit. That being said, you probably have it somewhere else, but, if not, significant amounts of spare cash would solve most problems short of full blown SHTF, and even the early stages of that.
Funnily enough, I’ve been reworking my get home bag because I have a much longer commute now that I took a new job (about 6 miles). 40 miles that you have is no joke, especially in bad weather or dangerous contexts. I, like you, am trying to prioritize lightweight gear to increase my speed in getting home. I’m going with a Camelback hydration bag for most of my gear. If I had to commute 40 miles (which could take 2 days in good conditions on foot), I would seriously consider a bicycle. It would cut your travel time down by roughly 75%. At some point, depending on the situation, you might have to ditch the bike. However, any miles you can get on it before that would be well worth it. Just my 2 cents…
Great add! I didn’t mention i have a folding bike for that commute. Glad you mentioned it here
FLASHLIGHTS vote👍
10-4 thank you
Keep the Bic in a zip lock bag for waterproofing.
Ooo, good call. Thanks
Having these kits/packs/bags are a must for any situation. I have a small day pack I take with me when I'm at work. It has the basics and a shoulder bag that can fit a gallon jug of water or several bottles of water. It's a11-12 hour (32 mi.) walk from my job site to back to work yard where my car is parked. I have a get home bag (14 lbs.) and some extra emergency supplies in my car. Then another 6 hour walk (16 mi.) through some hills to get home. Thanks for sharing. Would like to see more.
Roger that, will do more. Great breakdown of the walk. Shows you put planning into it
If put compass on watch band, might check to make sure watch will not affect it.
Good thinking!
Do the flashlight reviews!
10-4
Excellent! If I can make a suggestion, I would just add a condom. I know it’s old fashion and a pain in the back to use, but it takes no real estate and may help for water storage. Good work!
Absolute, great add. That would fit in the kit no problem. Have to remind, get the regular, not the other types... lol
Gerber Clutch...if you ever need to remove your finger for some reason. LOL don't forget some of these blades in multitools don't have blade locks.
Good point lol. Yea my big hands don’t work the best with those little multi tools
I simply get the metro to ‘get home’, never let me down.
I’ve been let down a couple times by my metro
Problem is if the electric is out
In NY, London and Tokyo, events have stopped all transportation except by foot or bicycle.
You need a plan for transit failure at every station.
@@michaelw2288 Not in Amsterdam.
with the AA's, we have them in the car's but I tape the ends. you will forget them and will find them one day corroded. this way the batteries stay new and I just pop them out and remove the tape. similar to items you buy with the plastic tab you remove before use.
Good thinking!
Thank you! 🤩I love seeing what you have, and reading what others have. Minimalist is hard for me. I tend to over pack as far as what I keep in my truck. I call it a bugout bag, or Go bag, but it is really a "get home" bag. Been doing this since my late teens (now in my 40s), and I revamp, revise, reconsider everything every time I check my bag over (2x per year usually). But I still have a big ole heavy bag. I guess I figure I could take stuff out if I find myself hoofing it.
I do employ a modular technique as it makes it easier for me to check things over, grab what I need, pack it back together easier. Now with this video, I am (re)considering a 'grab and go'. I hate carrying a "purse" but I need to make this an EDC. And in fact, I totally have something-- just need to repack it.
When I was doing a lot of traveling, I made myself what would work for me. I was often on foot a lot, and away from my car, sometimes with others. I wanted to have supplies and tools with me at all times. So I took a medium sized Maxpedition pouch (and had a smaller one that I could add to it via tac ties for tandem carry). Then made a Black/ACU camo thin In-Line Soloman bar paracord strap for cross-body "purse". Diamond knot closure, d-ring attachment. Oof that was a project. I have to dig it out because I really should have something on my body all the time. I got away from it and have relied on just what I tuck away in my truck.
ooh, I need to grab a sawyer mini
Cmarie you are a Bad A$$!
Sawyer Mini is great, water purification tablets are also a great option if you don't mind the taste of iodine
Love this content! ❤
Awesome, will do
Ok…🤣 we won’t ask about the diaper 🤣
It’s totally for me! lol
@@PracticalPreparedness 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Good one
This is great, more practical and a great starting position for most folks
Thanks, will roll out more diy stuff
Put in one or two mini light sticks if there's space.
Yes, please! More of these videos!!!
You got it!
@@PracticalPreparedness Thanks!
I like those EDC reviews and there are so many ideas you can put in to it and it is also adaptable wich is nice but of course it depends on what you are going to do and your own preferences. Thank you for sharing much appreciated.
Right on
Good stuff, as usual! Keep them coming.
Thank you!
Going to start Flashlights Anonymous. So far u and Alaska Prepper are advised to attend 😂😂😂
It’s a problem! lol
Real life scenario: 1989 San Francisco Bay Bridge section collapsed at 5:04 pm. I got home at 11:00 pm. No power, so I could not find an open Gas Station until I got to the other
side of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Current type of kit I keep in both my cars:
I have enough food and water to last me 3 days
Have all the tools you have.
No sleeping bag, tent or saw
I do have about 3 mylar blankets, which can also be a tent or poncho
Both have extra sweat shirt and a wool or acrylic blanket,
Trade off: You can invest in professional grade backpacking gear.
But I don't. My stuff is what you get a Walmart. Including canned food.
I know, canned food is heavy. But it keeps, and you don't have to go searching for
more water to re-hydrate.
Don't forget can opener and hygiene to keep clean (soap, tooth paste).
The hygiene part is based on my friend fleeing a fire, and really needing the hygiene stuff.
I carried a backpack with professional grade gear for about 3 weeks after the main earthquake in case I get
trapped by an after shock. But it is just too much gear to keep in your car.
Nice write up. Thanks for the time. I’d do the same if keeping food in the car. Would need to rotate the canned goods etc more often but not super expensive to replace
@@PracticalPreparedness Exactly.
Stellar as usual, love EDC if you wanna post! Thanks
Thanks! Will do! Will see how folks like it
Throw a couple needles and a small pair of tweezers in there with some dental floss... 💯
Good adds for the EDC even, nice
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Maybe off topic but what camera setup do you use?
No problem! I go between a canon and sony
Why yes I would like to see some flashlight reviews lol. Light nerd here too the zebra lights are seriously underrated. I've been a big fan of the sofirn lights lately I have the sp40 headlamp because I just love my 18650's but it's a bit on the larger side and heavier. Everyone tells me you need surefire or you're a poor or whatever lol. For a wml I like streamlight. Would love to hear your thoughts on some good single cell wmls.
Noted, thanks for sharing. I hear the same people saying the same about Surefire. Great light, so is streamlight.
On those Sawyer Mini…keeping it close to your body AFTER use makes sense, but does that apply for Non used, in the package rule?
Only after they’re wet. I should have specified!
I use Seychelle products and contacted them directly about that issue. They replied..."it shouldn't be a problem" (to store unused filters in subfreezing temps). I didn't get a lot of confidence in that reply. I would error on the side of caution, as there's still humidity in the air.
@zippy2641 good point on the humidity. Best to keep unfrozen either way if possible
@@PracticalPreparedness Or vacuum seal them.
@zippy2641 great idea that would solve that problem.
More please
You bet, thank you
“GerberMan” nice one 😂
lol, yea almost sounds better lol
How about your TSA approved Get-Home-Pouch if you happening to be working really far from home ?
Now I have to do another vid! Good ask
I love the tips, suggestions and preparation in these videos! If anything it makes us reflect on the importance of being self-reliant and responsible.
To some, this kit may seem useless. This can be true depending on environment, location, realities (content will be different from one person to the next).
Mental preparation can be fun and doesn't cost a penny. We need to put ourselves in scenarios where we are an "x" amount of distance from home (let's say at work) and the need to urgently go home arises - but you can't (say a G5 geomagnetic storm or EMP has disabled cars). What would that look like? What are minimum essentials you would need?
As someone living in the outskirts of a large metropolitan area, my similar sized, bare essentials kit would look like this,
- A pocket sized, waterproof, windproof, heat reflective poncho (tip - not all are bright orange, dark green ones are also available if you search for them)
- Cash in different bills (remember - it just happened, people are still figuring it out, crazy but not insane yet; will still have value on the first days)
- Small rechargeable lithium flashlight
- Cell phone (will have on me regardless of emp/geomagnetic related or not)
- Small lithium battery bank (10,000) to recharge phone and flashlight (getting home will be longer than usual)
- foldable knife (medium sized)
- Paracord
- Lighter
- 2-3 plastic bags of various sizes (ziplock type sized to kitchen garbage can size)
- a pair of disposable hand and feet warmers (an 8 hrs. of warmth when most needed)
- an energy bar
- a wool Buff (tons of uses, can be a lifesaver just as much in harsh sun or winter)
- small quantity of acetaminophen (aka "Tylenols" in a small ear plugs case
From here we can keep on adding, but having this on hand (instead of absolutely nothing), will help a long way, and still be small enough so it's not a burden to carry with me at all times (instead of something larger that I may leave behind from time to time).
Love the setup. Gaiters/Buffs are amazingly useful and you won't regret having one in colder weather
All my kit is based on level 1, 2, 3 and so on ...
My level 3 kit is absent the contents present in level 1 and 2.
Pocket carry
Pouch similar to yours
Small backpack
Car carry (upgrades)
Along with car carry would be heightened tactical level that's not in car
Separate high field sustainment pack
Everything beyond that is preps/caches/resupply
Nice break out. Organization is key
Do you mean to use this to include the get home bag?
Yes sir. Or snag it when can’t or won’t carry the backpack
I carry a lot of the same stuff, split between two small pouches I can carry on my belt. One thing I don't have is a small compass - I've bought those size before, and they were all just crap, didn't work at all. I looked for the compass in the description and didn't find it - wasn't sure how it was spelled from the video, can you spell out the name so I can look into it?
I’ll add it now!
Check back in 5
DO THE FLASHLIGHTS ! TAKE CARE..
Roger
Get something w wheels instead of a backpack
That is def an option too. Great for longer hikes for sure
Im keeping a little glass flask in mine (little brandy goes a long way) I might build one of these up.
If anyone has any tips please post them below.
I think it’s a great mini kit
Do all the flashlights.
Thanks a bunch for watching
Put some gorilla tape around the bic
Great idea!
I see a lot of video’s of these little kits, but rarely do I see someone actually do a video using them 🤔.
Love this idea. I feel another vid coming…
@@PracticalPreparedness outstanding! That’s the only way you know if that kit will actually work 😉.
@michaelnasser8697 really it’s great. Put it to use and make a challenge out of it or something!
Look into a folding bike. Riding > walking.
For sure, got one myself, very handy
I must live a boring life. All my years. I've never needed any of these items.
lol. Most haven’t needed thankfully. For those that do or when a moment comes, they’ll be glad the had them
get a governmt issue lensatic compass way better than that pos you got there
I have a few lol, just wouldn't fit in the bag. Thanks for sharing
Do u have Jesus? Get Rapture Ready too? #JesusIsCominfBack
I wonder why a guy puts a video up on RUclips, ostensibly to be watched and liked, and the first thing he does is insult the viewers by calling them keyboard warriors.
Talk about taking out of context. Thanks for watching
hope you can review an affordable flashlight that is rechargeable that can also use AA or AAS batteries. Perhaps olight or nightcore. Coz, those are the only ones available in our country. Thank you again!
Got it noted, thank you!
