Your comment.
When disaster happens, there are 2 options: 1) shelter in place; 2) leave aka bug out. To survive some disasters, like wildfire, flood, chemical spill, etc... you must leave. Always be prepared to stay or go.
In the vast majority of cases, staying put is the best option. Leaving exposes you to a host of dangers, and leaving quickly aka bugging out will leave you even more vulnerable. It should definitely be an option, but it’s almost always not the best one
@@jackof1 one should be prepared to do whatever the situation dictates whether it is stay put or leave.

@@stefenchapman6143 When the tree falls on my house do I have to creep thru the wreckage to get the bag? I’m not saying don’t have it as an available option, I’m just saying that in the majority of cases it’s not the best move
This is precisely why I have kits in every possible place I may need them, ranging from my small-game vest to my truck.
Home as a bug out location is a great primary idea... however, natural disasters can force you out of your home and I feel like that's what BUGOUT bags really are for. A massive forest fire encroaching on my rural home means I need to get my family to a safe place
Exactly.
Everyone's situation is going to be different. Prepare for yours and your families needs. I tend to lean toward Wrangler Star's thoughts on this one. I cannot think of any scenario that would force me to leave my home that would require a bug out bag.
I live at the base of the rockies. My home is often threatened with forest fires. We also are told that here in Utah we are due for a very large earthquake. If I needed to leave my home from the threat of fire I'm not going to out run it on foot carrying a bug out bag. I will be jumping into a vehicle after grabbing important documents, photos, and other nonreplaceable items and then heading to a family member's home or a hotel until the situation is under control.
So just throw your bag in your car then? I don’t think anyone is saying you have to run on foot.
Look at Canada right now. I'm in Michigan and have smoke all around us.
Natural AND man caused disasters.
A bug out bag was always just a bit of fun, we all know in reality you stay close to your family and friends when the zombies turn up.
Zombies are being let into the landmass that is the USA, 1,000 per day through the Darién Gap. These are mostly crazed, fighting-age low IQ men. Let that sink in.
Our "leaders" are seeking our extermination, one way or another. Be ready. And no, I do not support "bugging out", but it wouldn't be unwise to have a backpack with some short-term survival supplies if you are forced to leave your home temporarily (flood? EQ? EMP?).
@@steelwing7532 same concerns here to be honest, but our economic model needs a growing population apparently.
we either ditch the model or have more kids.
There's your two choices.
Don't let dumb RUclips commenters affect your mindset
@@vespasian266 I would propose both of those. They won't let us ditch the model unless it was in their favor, and they're doing allllll they can to prevent your later proposal. We are being gaslit beyond all gaslighting gaslights. Abortion, birth control, academia promotes faggotry, etc etc etc etc etc.
@@vespasian266 everyones does lol. Welcome to the modern world.
The term "bugout bag" or "get home bag" or any number of others is probably better described as an "emergency preparedness" bag. Tailored to how you intend to use it, but the basics tend to be the same regardless of purpose. Food, water, shelter, spare clothes, medicine, money, tools, etc..
I don't do dedicated emergency bags, but I do have a camping bag, which I actually use for camping. Its basically the same thing, and I started keeping it in my car when I travel as it has all the essentials I could need in an emergency. I just restock it whenever I use it.
I think the important thing is just having some level of preparedness.
You have a property. It's not insane for people who live in apartments.
Which you said the very next sentence.
Agreed... that bag might just save or at least prolong survival for an individual or a family's lives.
bug out bag is useful for running from a natural disaster, or perhaps the law, or just going to help a friend. but as someone currently in an apartment I would stay put even in the silly shtf scenario most preppers imaging where all society breaks down into tribal warfare overnight. I have food and supplies here, for longer term food I can consider planting seeds as well as hunting and trapping. I wouldn't be picky, I would eat whatever I kill.
Men of culture we meet again ..
key word being meN
@@huntereakright8988 what does that mean?
Bienvenidos
@My RUclips account 🤣🤔
In the most Jeremy Clarkson voice... Yesssss.
I agree entirely, when I started prepping and I looked at how much food it would take to sustain myself for a few months I realized I can barely fit it in a car.
Bug out plans often just prepare you to be a refuge somewhere else. Real prepping requires a fixed location with at least a year of food.
staying in any one place has many associated risks. especially during natural disasters. not all situations have to be ‘societal collapse’ level threats.
This is very valuable insight. Here in Texas (especially in the rural areas, where we live and thrive) being broken down on the highway is no joke. My wife broke down on the side of the highway at dusk. She was a good 60 miles from the nearest small community. She had flip flops and no supplies. It was a very high risk situation and we’ve learned to prepare “get home bags” for every trip now. I couldn’t imagine adding the gravity of an EMP attack along with being stuck in an urban area. Very scary prospect.,,
I agree. Get Home Bag is best!
I agree, a 'get home bag' and not a 'leave home bag.'
Smart. Put one in my wife’s car. She worked 14 miles only but long waik
I'm in Texas, but Austin, so less rural obviously and even i'm considering a 55 gallon reserve for the truck with a pump, What if I need to get to the Canadian boarder (dual citizenship) somewhere else? Without stopping for gas that might not pump? 10 hrs each direction still in Texas. Not the same as a get home bag on foot but it's the next stage in a plan.
what about an EMP set off from a balloon?
Agreed... "Bug Out Bags" are a bag of gear and/or tools designed to get you to a "Safe Haven". For you and I, that is our homes. For some of my friends it is a bag to get them to a rally point. It all has to do with perspective and your mission.
This is the way!
I’m a woman who has a “get home bag” and I also have boots that I can hike in. These reside in my trunk at all time. I do live in the rainy PNW and I hope I have everything I need. I check it every six months to make sure I change for the seasons. I’m NOT one of those “damsels in distress” types.
Good to hear! I agree with everything you've said! I need to know me, and mine can get back to the rest of your family. I guess it sorta doubles as a bugout bag because we might need to go to another one of our family's home.
Then your the 1 in 4 million.
Smart
A tow strap of some type. Actually used one.
So also living In the PNW here’s what I noticed with hunting buddies. Everyone might have fire starter. But to start what? I carry kindling. Take about 5 or 6 small pieces of pitchy wood, split them down and double bag em. I probably go through 10 bags a year because my friends can’t start a fire in the rain without accelerants. Who Carrie’s gas in a get home bag 100 miles from
Your car. Is it crazy to carry kindling? Yes. Has it worked 10
Plus times a year for 25 or more years for me, yes. Anyways, my two cents. Fire starters are great. But to start “what?” In our rainy area
I trashed the "bug-out" bag years ago, I have a nice get-home bag in my car... the house is stocked with enough food and supplies to outlast 90% of the people in my area. But the hardest thing I've encountered in my road to preparedness is convincing my wife that all of this is necessary.
My bugout bags are not to leave my home and live in the woods, for me its a travel bag with essentials to travel to a better location than I live with even more resources than what I have here, my only big issue is travel, we all know gas might be scarce and roadways may be dangerous...so my home is a backup plan if getting to my other location is not easily done...my bugout bags have changed dramatically over the years it snot to live out of like it use to be its more to move lots of stuff quickly to my vehicle as to not waste time...and there's a reason I dont make videos on it lol id rather not want people to know whats really in there...
I always thought of a bug out bag as the last option sort of thing. Something you grab if a hurricane is coming and you are right in the middle of where its gonna hit. Or maybe out of control wild fires. Just everything you might need for a week when things are bad. Never thought it would be hey need to survive in the wilderness. Just something to make a rough time a bit more manageable.
Exactly!
Yeah, we live in California where there’s earthquakes and other things like major cities.
This guy doesn’t have a clue he lives in the country and I get it but he doesn’t understand while he’s living in an isolated area.
he is trying to get home and we are trying to get out!
Big difference stay on your own x.
Until you have experience living, where we live .
What’ dumb is you trying to tell us what’s dumb .
Choose your words with grace and people will listen ….
i live in the middle of nowhere my big out bag is my cabin which is offgrid running water and it’s own underwater water wheel year round power no gas, my big out bag is for the 30 mile hike i’ll have of all my machines are broken. 90% of ppl in the western world should be thinking like you very small amount of ppl acc need to worry about the wilderness and i’m a trapper and all so i don’t really worry i’m more then capable. most ppl even with all the right stuff wouldn’t make it either way
Or even a simple house fire.
@@MrTangent yeah that is a good example.
As an older father with three children under 7 bugging out is no longer really an option for me. So what I did was buy a farm that is geographically and topographically perfect to defend. I understand completely what you're saying. We are in the early stages but we have everything we need and in time will be even more fortified. I understand exactly where you're coming from. Our thought processes generally align.
My thinking to. Own land near resources and have things that dont need electricity. Theres a reason my mom swore by wood fire stoves when growing up. Theres a reason my great grandpa had a farm by a creek. Theres a reason my dad and I made a root cellar. And why my grandpa lived no more than 10 minutes walking from the woods. They needed those resources for food and water and it lasts.
I agree that you should make your home as good as possible. But if there is a forest fire, you will still need to leave. And it will help you when you get to your friends house.
Mine can in handy to live out of when my wife was in the hospital
NutN I think would be proud of how well you've followed his example - Honest & experienced !!!
Nutn is not representative anything realistic to most people or households. He has far too much time on his hands so his menas to do these things most likely far exceeds the avergae person's. Like most content creators on this platform, they only let you see what they want you to see. There's way more to Nutn none of us will ever know.
I agree with you on the bug out bag. Having an emergency kit to help get you home or provide necessary items if you get stranded or in an emergency is a must have.
Why the US Forest Service BUGSIN.
I built all the drivers in my family a Get-home Bag for Christmas. Made them myself with a medical kit, tire pressure gauge, Pancho, protein bar, jumper pack, light, etc. Home is your safest place 95% of the time. Get home.
Us too ! After seeing Buffalo. Two hours drive from there.
Get home bags never really made sense to me. If you really want to get home you'd keep a bicycle in your vehicle and a gallon of water.Thats literally the most logical thing you need to get home quickly and efficiently. You can bike 50 miles in a day with only drinking water. Thats all you need. You don't even need a bag!
I love this character arch! The world needs more voices championing personal responsibility and accountability
Amen. Men need this.
Landscape plays a SIGNIFICANT role in this...in some instances, like mine here in the Colorado Rockies, having a get home bag is replaced by an entrench in place bag. Living at 9000 feet you have to be able to live through situations that those in most other parts of the country have no idea about (sudden snowstorms that dump over a foot and a half of snow in an hour, bears, cougars, moose, etc.). The fact that I often come across people that don't even have a flashlight, basic tools, or even jumper cables up here is both mind boggling and sad - I don't know if it from 20+ years in the Army or what, but I've always had the mindset that people that don't go into things prepared are either ignorant and/or naive (which is easily remedied) or just plain stupid and oblivious. In winter, I like having at least one full change of clothing with extra socks / underwear, a way of melting water (no shortage of fresh snow, so water and a way of purification are unnecessary), a blanket, the basics listed above (vehicle tools as well as a hammer, hatchet, and shovel) and a couple days worth of MRE's.
Visiting Colorado a bunch, the volume of high income earners and anyone else in the normalcy bias group is amazing. That’s probably anywhere but seeing Colorado explode with High end homes in the wilderness and then complaining about how hard it is to get services to take care of them is mind boggling
@@dougeisenhard6816 not complaining; I moved here knowing it...and actually prefer it. Not having all of the conveniences keeps it clean and safe from the masses.
MREs are actually trash for bugging out.
They probably aren't stupid just unaware of how brutal the Rockies weather and terrain can be. Moved here in 96 from Wisconsin. I learned everything the hard way riding dirt bikes in the mountains. Moab is worse.
Bug-in is always the first option. I live in an urban area but well protected with good neighbors, a two-year food supply for three people, 1 year water supply, enough firewood to last at least one winter, lots of guns and ammo, and two locations for a bug out situation. You are absolutely correct in your strategy. If I lived in a big city a bug out might be my first and only option.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
As soon as people start starving, you need to leave. It doesn't matter who your neighbors are. Hunger is a strong motivation.
No you don't. Not if you have friends who can shoot guns. You stay with your resources or you'll find yourself in the middle of nowhere with limited resources. The only thing to get me to leave would be a mile high tsunami.@@SmokeNGunsBBQ
I live in a trailer park on the edge of town, but am working towards my own land. My philosophy if anything were to happen before I can get my own land is to get home, pack up, then be ready to bug out immediately if the need arises. I have friends and relatives who’s houses would be ideal to bug out to, and we’ve planned everything out in advance. Generally speaking a mobile home within city limits is not an ideal place to be during most crises. I have my vehicle set up to essentially serve as a mobile home base, I have an inverter, cb radio, bottled water, ramen noodles and crackers as food rations, a 12ga 870 clone with various types of shells, iodine tablets and cheesecloth for water purification, jerry cans with fuel, etc, etc. Given that this does make me heavily reliant on my vehicle, I keep all my automotive tools onboard along with some general tools as well. And if course a small stock of spare parts (including a spare ecu in a faraday cage in case of an emp, my vehicle is a 96 so the ecu is the only part likely to be damaged irreversibly). In addition to this, I am currently working on turning the back of my vehicle into a mini workshop with a slide-out workbench, vice, grinder, and all. Without a resupply I have everything in my vehicle I’d need for the gf and I to survive for about 3 weeks with a water source, and little over a week without. Plenty enough to make it across the country if need be, with the plan being to siphon fuel from abandoned vehicles on the way.
"Bug-in" is better than "bug-out" for sure. Unless of course you have the luxury of a remote base that you would be bugging to. Technically then that is a "get-home" bag. A plan to get form my urban condo that is being infiltrated and you need to get to your well prepped "cabin-in-the-woods" Wait, Why have an urban condo? Just stay at your "cabin-in-the-woods"!
I was inspired to do a shot show RUclips channel because of nutnfancy around 2009. What a great time of discovery.
I agree with the bug out bag. I keep gear in my vehicle to survive winter if I break down. I may have to shelter in place or walk home?
When I drive from Reno to Vegas I always carry a survival backpack a tent and a bicycle. 100 miles of open desert between towns is common here in Nevada.
5 Cs, cover should include cloths suitable for the coldest night and hottest heat of day, comfortable shoes, and snacks. First Aid in a separate pack. Combine the two and head home.
About 15 years ago a prepper friend and I went through a detailed analysis of where I could bug out to and what I might need. The result was my first get home bag. I'm 100% with you.
Never put all your eggs in one basket. Proper set up would be a bag in your car that could let u last a week or so. And a bag you can pull from that to get you by 2 days or so (to get home).
Then your preparedness at the house. That is ready to throw what u can in a vehicle if the housr becomes too dangerous for whatever reason.
And last , if u can have a a second location to store back up bags
Of course if youre determined to never leave ur house and even die there then u only need a get home bag designed to move quick
Great video and I totally agree, not a bugout bag, but a get home bag! I carry one in my truck, just like you said if you have to get home, only what you need to get you home. How long will it take you, and carry the provisions for that. Thanks for sharing. Juddie - J & J TOA
Agree with you totally. Being former special forces, I have always realized this. THE BEST OPTION (nearly always) is to stay in place. You control more variables when you do. If you don't, almost all the variables are out of your control.
The whole intent and purpose of a BOB is for the worst case option - you gotta run. And in fact, the BOB is the worst of the worst case options because it means you are primarily doing it "on foot". For people who live in dense metro areas, the #1 option (stay in place) maybe a tenuous option so having a BOP (bug out plan) is a must. For those of us who have rural, prepped locals it is not the case and in fact leaving such should be a "third mongolian horde has overrun it" only scenario (or flooded, or earthquaked into oblivion, etc).
But a BOP should progress from (best to worse) Bug out shelter (prepped RV, Truck with camper, etc) -> Bug out motorized vehicle + kit -> Bug out bike + kit -> Bug out bag -> EDC+ -> EDC... Because you want to bug out with the best option of survival and as you can note, on foot is on the lower end.
@@somethingsomethingusername802 Since I don't know you from adam you must think I am dipsh1t to ask me that question. I will tell you that Uwharrie is my favorite place to hunt... :)
Completely agree on this. The whole idea of "bugging out" is deeply flawed. If you live in a city and you wait until the eve of disaster to try and escape you're just going to die while stuck in traffic. Better to just have everything you need on hand at home to survive as long as possible.
Jesus Christ…
Well that's actually the idea of sheltering in place. When it gets to the point that you can no longer stay at your shelter/home/etc, and you need to leave, that's called bugging out. Having gear and a basic plan is a good idea, to save you time if you need to leave in a hurry, but the general idea is to stay at home, till you can no longer survive there.
@@Survival-gyverand then when you can’t stay any longer you grab your bug-out bag and go. It’s not the worst idea to keep a bag with a few lightweight but well made supplies in it but spending hundreds of dollars on gear is overkill. I keep a get-home bag in my trunk and I find myself using things in it more often that I expected especially the first aid kit while at the playground with my kids and have helped others with it as well.
Almost a year ago thousands of people left Sarasota, FL due to hurricane. They were mostly spared due to landfall hitting Fort Meyers. Much of Florida had to deal with the changed storm path. 1,000s of people are still displaced. Many had to wait more than a day or two before getting any help. There would have been no way for half the state of Florida to evacuate even if they had a week to do so. Storms and other events are less predictable then ever before. It’s just hard to tell sometimes what action to take until your knee deep in it!
I don’t know man I think you still need a bug out system maybe it’s your vehicle maybe it’s a motorcycle but you still need to be prepared to bug out from your own property if marauders come any failure of civility situation, or a natural disaster in your case, a forest fire. Nobody wants to think about it but it’s possible you would have to abandon your beautiful Homestead property. So there should be a provision for that. I do agree, and all of my vehicles have get home bags in them. It’s absolutely essential. But natural disasters do occurre even in peaceful times so you should have some type of a system to evacuate your property if need be.
A bug-out-bag is simply a tool kit and not meant to literally grab and run off into the mountains with, never to be seen again. No bug--out-bags are not dumb and they have come in handy so many times over the years.
Excellent video. A true 'bug out bag' is simply a kit that can help you get through emergencies in your particular situation. It may help you stranded in your car in a blizzard, stuck out in the desert, stuck at home in a high-rise without water for days, or giving first aid to crime victims where you don't expect it. But if your idea of a bug out bag is going into the mountains when society collapses and living there then you're so detached from reality you'll be one of the first to perish.
I did not realize you've been uploading content for so many years. I've only known about your channel for two years. It just goes to show you that every "Overnight success" has been 10000 hours in the making. Definitely inspiring how many videos you have in your history. I can't even scroll down that far and RUclips doesn't let you sort in reverse for some dumb reason.
Dude that’s dumb. We dont all live on multiple acres out in the middle of no where with water supplies and potential farming capabilities. A bug out bag is so city folk can come and stay at your place uninvited.
What about what happened in east Palestine Ohio with the toxic train derailment? They certainly needed a bugout bag to get out of town quick with their necessary medication, change of clothes, personal protection.
I advocate strongly for maintaining and keeping in your vehicle a reliable pair of boots. Put a pair of high quality wool socks in each boot and replace the laces with paracord. Also keep a full set of extra high quality outdoor clothing in your vehicle. I vacuum seal items like the clothes to both save space and ensure that the are dry when I need them.
Paracord is terrible for shoelaces, it unties itself really easy
My BOB has never progressed past the "thats a cool idea" stage. I am with cody 100% we are close to same age and i too have spent the past 10 years acquiring resources building up a homestead. I am not rich enough to have a second bug out location stocked with food and supplies. If i get forced out i might as well eat a bullet because living out of a backpack with noplace to call home is my idea of a miserable existence and not how i want to live the last few years of my life. I will probably fight to the end
Is this all now? Just shorts?
👎
In CA you just need something in case a fire rips through town in the middle of the night. You can have some some clothes, cash, and basics if you house goes up in smoke.
Just the act of making the bag is good though. Even if it is pointless in practice it gets the normal person thinking differently.
I use to pipeline cross country, a get home bag was always in my truck after i was bit by the bugout bag bug. I tried to carry enough to attempt to traverse 800-1000 miles which was usually half way to home. Reading and listening to post apocalyptic books gives some good advice and thought beyond what should be in a bag.
Being prepared for a natural disaster makes total sense. They happen, aren't predictable. Perfect sense.
The nuclear engineer in me wants to pontificate: To be clear an EMP attack is a nuclear war! An enemy has to detonate a nuclear weapon in the upper atmosphere to create the energy wave necessary for an EMP. So expect civilization to end when we send our nukes back in the opposite direction with no ability to recall them in the next 30 minutes. The USA will not tolerate an EMP strike, it is a nuclear strike against the USA and all NATO countries will respond with a nuclear 2nd strike. If you want to plan for a solar flare that takes out electronics in a large region that is a different story, but planning for an EMP strike means you really NEED TO PLAN FOR A NUCLEAR WAR.
Bug in / Bug out all depends on the circumstances. I don't care if you live in a urban setting or on 200 acres in a rural area. You may have to leave to survive the situation. Survival instinct kicks in and you should take action to preserve life. You can prep your castle all you like , but at some point you will have to defend it. You may be faced with an overwhelming number of hungry humans that will want to take what you have. Always have the proper gear and a plan B if things go south. The emotional attachment to the castle and all of the " stuff " may be your downfall. I have a EDC bag that goes everywhere I go. It goes with me while I drive to the store for groceries or if I'm driving over the pass to see family in the valley. not only do you need the gear , you also need the skill to use it. If you think you are 100% safe on the homestead, think again.
i don't think the hungry horde is a real threat, especially for people far off the highway. still its important to have a bug out plan
The first Wranglerstar video that I watched was about the cheapest scope on Amazon. I thought that you were pretty rough on it, with you actually denting the wooden steps with it during the drop test, but it actually survived. I like the idea of the get home bag. It's a good idea. Also, why does that cat keep pausing her grooming to stare into my soul?
I used to travel all over the country for work, different states on a weekly basis.
I had a get home bag. Some of the items may not have been within all local laws, but I planned on making ot home.
The best argument you have is that if it’s good enough for the criminals, it’s good enough for you, and no asinine liberal law is worth your life. But, I realize that some costs aren’t worth it, so you’re taking a less than favorable chance; damned if you do, damned if you don’t, and welcome to modern liberal amerika.
@@chriskourliourod1651 A "liberal" America would almost certainly NOT be spelled with a "K". That would be a fascist, ultra-right-wing, neo-Nazi thing, like the German spelling of "Amerika".
In this age of Orwellian doublespeak, you have the extreme right- fitting shoe and the extreme left-fitting shoe, and they fit the feet of the beast that is ultra-modern mankind. Look at antifa. Look at BLM. Look at the “right-wing” hate groups. They all belong to the same grotesque organism, and truly enlightened people have nothing to do with such evil. For example, I’m not a republican they’re too liberal for me.
A bug out bag can be necessary if a wildfire is closing on your property & you need to leave & go stay with friends, family, or a hotel. Your idea of a bug out bag is myopic.
I have a vehicle bag for survival, protection, warmth for winter.
I also have a fire bug out bags for everyone in the family which includes food, water, shelter, clothing, small thing of important papers, protection a pistol extra mags and rounds a long with a hunting rifle and 50 rounds. With wildfires in are area the past couple years getting close to our property. We have done what we could to prevent the spread of wildfires.
But you never know what may happen fire jumps a fire break or something.
Each of us have our own convictions and they are formed by realistic risks to our ability to provide basic needs. I manage seasonal bags and scenario based content. Have a little that will take you far based on your personal skill sets. I would encourage all to create a trustworthy community of like minded people. Expand your options with relationships.
I need to make evacuation bags. $50 in cash, clean under wear, cell phone charger, toothbrush water filter and food.. 2 years ago we had to evacuate because of how close the tree line is and wildfires were 5 miles away. We wound up living at a camp ground in Gladstone
One of my favorite NutnFancy vids is The reasons why NOT to bugout. Great additional perspective here.
Documents that are a hassle to replace, a change of clothes, jacket, and anything else you’d need when the house goes up in smoke is good to have on hand to get out of the building. Sure a safe is great, but, sometimes you aren’t allowed to return. And clothes in case it’s the middle of night. Gathering up stuff vs. getting loved ones out isn’t realistic. Just have the bag ready to grab.
Project farm is one of the best for reviews and seeing what is great.
We have some bug out bins. Things to be able to toss into the truck / car if needed to get away from the home area. As we don't have acres of land but it's more for if we need to leave the area itself.
More like a bail-out bag(s) Only pack things that you know ... will get out of trouble ... if or when you get bounced from your current abode. Use your past myseries as a guide.
That’s all well and good, but what if there is an overwhelming force coming down your drive. You might want to get your family out of that dangerous situation, and come back to fight them without putting your family in danger.
Cody I am in agreement with dang near everything you have put on here recently except the view of women and how men are to treat them. I am blessed to live in rural Kentucky and work in southern Illinois with a majority of time in Tennessee. I will say the old ways you refer to alive and well in these parts.
Just saying you can’t move a bug out house when theres wildfire or crazy mod of hungry City people 😂😂😂😂
Cody, can we get an old fashioned Wranglerstar crosscut saw or tool restoration video?
I disagree, building a bug out bag is about actually focusing on the supplies needed for survival. Is it more important to pack this, those, or that. Needs vs wants kind of thing. I justify it as an exercise of discipline in what is required for me to actually survive.
Zombies aside, there are plenty of realistic events that could force someone from their home. Not every shelter will have space. Having the ability to be self sufficient after a disaster is smart.
Not everyone has hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on property where you live. Being prepared isn’t a bad thing.
BOB sounds much better then GHB. They are the same thing. Anyone that made a good BOB had already done what you are describing.
Situation determines need. I have both, for different reasons distinct to my own needs. I live in the big city (not for long), and keep a very urban specific get home bag in my truck. Not focused on sustainment, but more urban camo and tools. Nondescript clothing that would allow me to blend in with protestors or not stand out in a rough neighborhood, and tools to get past obstacles between myself and home.
Sole purpose of that bag is urban focused. Trunk of the car already has boots/winter clothing/water/food addressed.
And then a more traditional bug out bag setup with it only one goal, to get me from my spot in town that is not sustainable, to friends and family 100 miles away.
In the future, I'll be in the country. And then my bug out bag will become a rural get home bag. And the city get home bag will be decommissioned.
The worst I saw was a video of a guy putting a large book of edible plants in his bugout bag saying it'd make a great addition to your bag. If you plan on living off the land, you need to already be doing it regularly to the point where you don't need the book.
If you haven't been doing that, the only reason to have a bugout bag should be to survive the walk to your bugout location. Everything else should already be there. If you plan to bug in, the bugout bag is a get-home bag where your preps are.
Absolutely gobsmacked that you would support a man that "didn't have an axe to grind"
All of my cars have get home bags. Having had two separate neighbors homes catch fire my bug out bags contain what I need to go to a hotel or stay with family. This includes important documents. Of course I live in an area where the only real natural disasters I have to deal with are blizzards and mild tornadoes. In either case staying home makes the most sense.
Look up hugh glass. That dude didn’t have a bug home bag and did it too G style!! 💪🇺🇸💯
Everyone should read the book "One second after" by William Forstchen. Fantastic insight on how quickly things would deteriorate after an EMP.
Is it fiction?
@@redrustyhill2 yes it is.
I’m 26 and I remember when RUclips just started being used for content creation.
I disagree, I think you miss the point of a bug out bag. Bugging out is a last resort. 1st priority is to shelter in place, if possible. However, there comes a time when you need to evacuate for one reason or another, whether for fire, or medical emergency, etc, that having a pack ready to go will save you time and stress/mental health. Nothing like having to suddenly leave your safe space/shelter/home, in an emergency and having to throw together your gear quickly. That's like having a firefighter running into a burning building without any supplies, or a soldier leaving a base under attack without his equipment. They are probably going to die. A bug out bag or quick evac bag is just a bag with basic necessities to get you from point a to point b, whether that point b is another shelter, or a meet up point, whatever, its important to have some basic needs with you. Those basic needs should cover the 10 C's, that covers your location environmental differences, terrain, etc. A get home bag / vehicle emergency kit is always recommended. Not just to be able to get home, but minor emergency repairs to your vehicle, and/or to even shelter in place of your vehicle, when leaving your vehicle is too dangerous, like a blizzard. I will leave you with this quote: "Plans are worthless, but planning is everything. There is a very great distinction because when you are planning for an emergency you must start with this one thing: the very definition of “emergency” is that it is unexpected, therefore it is not going to happen the way you are planning."
Yup. I always have my get home bag in my truck!! Especially in the winter!!!
Same here, came in handy a couple of times I had to do an impromptu overnighter at work due to weather events.
Old School manual: The Complete Walker, Colin Fletcher.
It's the same bag, different name. C'mon bruh... lol
When I first started driving my dad told me "Never leave the house wearing anything you aren't prepared to walk home in". I think about that a lot, and I've since turned my trunk into a get-home kit/tough it out where I'm at kit. I got stuck in the snow one time and was very glad I had an extra blanket and an MRE to get me through a few cold hours until help arrived.
I have a bug out sailboat. It can be autonomous out at sea for 7+ years.
Dear Sir,
Yes. I remember talking to a buddy, saying "Remember, you can use the power lines as a road when SHTF". He responded with, "where are you going? Just stay home."
My take on it is more of a missions bag. If I have to go do something, whatever that may be, and I need to leave home for some reason I will have a bag to sustain my mission. Kinda like an assault pack
In the southeastern US, Hurricanes require bug out bags if you’re in a trailer or near the coast. If it decides to turn your way, it’s time to go and who knows what you’ll find or where you’ll end up and who you’ll be competing against. Also, first responders are required to have a bug out bags during impending emergencies. Unfortunately they have to abandon their families and they don’t know when they’ll be cut loose or what arrangements will be.
Well the common misconception is that a bug out bag is to leave your home and be able to survive for a period of time ..that was never the intent it's always been something that would help you get from where ever you are back to home
I just now realized I have a "bug out" bag that I really only ever planned on needing to use it to get home. Lol
I like to camp spontaneously, so my ute / truck is always ready to go. Bushfires are a real risk here.
I love the idea of a get home bag, but to say a bug out bag is just for fun is a little misleading. I'm a semi pro novice home owner myself with a similar living set up. I have a bug out bag for protecting my property, yes I agree to leave home base would be horrible. But to protect your family I feel you better be ready to get mobile fast...... and fight like a honey badger!
I fully agree with you here. I have them set up with either getting home or an agreed location. There should be a secondary location selected though in case getting back home isnt practical.
I definitely agree with what you're talking about, it's really a case-by-case thing in my opinion. Being stationed somewhere away from my actual home of residency means having a bag with critical gear on hand, in the truck etc. Just incase I would need to join up with other coworkers and families in my area
I agree, though I haven't watched the whole video yet. I could never carry all the resources I have at home and my shop is only 12 miles away (and is also a prep). I could literally lock my doors and not need to come out for months (at least until the water finally runs out). So a bugout bag is the absolute last resort. But, my wife and I both have them.
And I encourage all new preppers to build one for themselves and each member of their family. It is a great starting point and begins to rewire the mind into a prepared way of thinking.
Also, it's quite handy. Often, I need something like a match, a lighter, a peice of wire, etc and while I have all those things in quantity in my preps, my bugout bag is easy, quick access.
And, there could be the rare need to grab it and go. A tornado or train derailment could mean I will need some essentials for a couple days if I need to roll out quickly.
The main thing a south Texas man needs to worry about is just having water.
I think bugging out should be a last resort of course, but unfortunately it is sometimes necessary to leave. History has shown us that there are many scenarios where this may become necessary either temporarily or permanently.
I could give many examples of scenarios in which this would be necessary, but a bug out bag is really important for all the scenarios that you didn't think of. As a side note, I would also bury/cache some supplies nearby to access in the event that you are displaced from your home in a hurry. It's all about having options in a future crisis which is why people are preparing the first place.
Thanks for sharing awesome video I remember several years ago you posted a video about a person that makes two rolls out of fire hose I sure would like to have one of those could you possibly post the link to that video thank you
I guess I’m not going to keep looking for the Vrtex Gamut 2.0 in gray when i can only find it in black! Thank you for saving me my time and $200!!! 😳🙌😬
For me the biggest get home item is a bicycle with a 4 stroke engine. About 25 miles of range and in an EMP it’ll get you home and you can weave through cars dead on the road. About 30MPH too.
In war people are often displaced from thier homesteads by artillery, like in Ukraine. Maybe "refugee bag" would be a better name.
Before RUclips we had Consumer Reports magazine.
Totally agree. I've always said that most men stop maturing around age 13!
Nuttenfancy and Paul Herrel.
Best gun channels on the internet
We never really grow up we're always 13.... well I kindly disagree with you sir I have a RUclips channel where I open up Pokemon cards wait a minute I just proved myself wrong....
I love this channel and I agree with most of what is said here but I disagree with one part of this. There is a balloon in Montana right now with who knows what in it and what if there is some sort of Nuclear attack. I'll be forced to leave my property and having a bug out bag will make it easy to take essentials and visit some relatives in a very far south place. Not really a disagreement just I think there is a place for go bags. Personally, our family has 6 bags in total with medical, weapons and all the health things we should need. We have 4 in the family so it should be easy to take.
They aren't dumb. Millions of people don't live on homesteads. Even land owners may find themselves needing to evacuate for any number of reasons, or leave to seek out necessary resources. Its the most basic, first line of defense for general preparedness and survival.
Interesting but You cant ''Bug in'' ever .Why is this? You cant be anywhere near an improved road that goes to your country retreat.If people know where you are or if you have a working homestead people will come.Refugees ,raiders ,para-Military groups etc.
My level of concern about these Chinese balloons is increasing... I wonder what they are NOT telling us.
When I started watching RUclips 12 years ago or so, Nutnfancy, Sootch, and you were instrumental. It was awesome. Still cool to think you were one of the original RUclipsrs I began to watch.
Most peoples bags are way too heavy to be useful. Too much bs gear your not going to use. Repetitive items like multiple knives. I hate backpacks too. I prefer bags and bindles and maybe a small backpack.
