My $4000 Bug Out/INCH Bag Setup
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- At long last, two years after my original bug out bag video, we're gonna take a look and see what is inside my current INCH bag. After doing a rough calculation of everything in the video, the price in today's market came up to around $3800+. Definitely an investment but this bag is leaps and bounds more capable than the one from my previous video.
Look, I get it. "The more you know, the less you need." We've all heard that before but the fact of the matter is that we're not all the Gray Bearded Green Beret. And even if we were, surviving indefinitely in -20° temperatures requires more than a 20lb bug out bag. That's why I've allowed this bag to be as heavy as it is (around 60 or 70lbs wet). It's not meant to be easy to carry; it's meant to keep you alive when you don't have a home to go to anymore. Of course I could spend more money to get lighter gear, but I'm faaaaaar from wealthy. I've spent enough for now.
One thing you might be thinking is how am I going to carry this in the winter with snow on the ground? My intention is to get a sled.
What about the cart? There will be a video about that soon enough. I will say that on flat ground and moving down hill, I'm probably saving a TON of calories vs carrying the bag. Uphill is a different story.
As always, this kit is a work in progress and is bound to be adjusted here and there.

Here are all of the links for the items I have in my bag. Not everything is listed below (such as the snares) because they’re either not available anymore or because they’re something simple that you probably have lying around. Also, if I was unable to find the EXACT product that is in my pack, then I linked something similar. On occasion I also listed a product that I just thought was a significantly superior version of what I had in my pack. Whatever does not fit in my description will be in a pinned comment down below. I have these listed ROUGHLY by order of appearance or mention.

What does inch mean? Acronyms still need definitions.
I'm * Never * Coming * Home
@@wheatdevon That is correct. Did I fail to mention that in the video? If so, my apologies
@@TheTroublemakersGuild I don't know. But far too often people just toss out acronyms like everyone knows what they mean. I myself knew because I looked it up before and we have adapted it for even our own shit like if coproaches are looking for me and I need to dodge those thieves for a spell and go play hide and seek, to if shit is got to plan and all hell breaks and we have no home to return to we will use it in our communication process... I just wanted to share a second to make someone's time utilized better by knowing what your term, or the term *inch* means.
I decided to buy the Savotta Large and pack it with 35lbs of esentials, which is always on my back. And have a cart with non essentials, in the cart, and that way I am more balanced and hills are easier. Also I can abandon the cart-if necessary and not have to lug 75 lbs on my back. Also you could have a mule or a goat, haul the extra weight. They can eat brush to stay alive.
Good plan. I have a pack I keep on my plate carrier with the bare necessities as well
Never considered a goat for such a thing, but makes sense. I vaguely recall them being used as pack animals in other countries.
What a smart idea to use a trolley! I got a few bug out bags, what I thought was one for each family member. But now I have an alternative for doing that. Thanks.
It's a good option! Just we warned that going uphill isn't fun lol
There's a thing called Hiking Trailers that are slowly catching on. Basically a rickshaw for your gear, with the handles that attach to a specialized belt.
They're still rather pricey, but it wouldn't be difficult to convert a deer cart into a hiking trailer.
Bad part is the easy trail it leaves to follow for those less honorable travelers that will appear.
Being an OTR truck driver, I like the idea of the cart. I rarely go further than 500 miles away from home. At “hopefully” 20 miles a day it would take me almost a month to get home.
I would like to give you my own suggestions
About the sawyer filters: They are rated for up to 100,000 gallons of water filtration, but do keep in mind, they can wear out long before they reach 100,000 gallons. Some customers state that they can start to leak later, and when you can blow through the sawyer filters, theyre done for. But since they are some of the best on the market and my #1 go to filters for my own INCH bag, I like to keep about 5 in my pack if were talking about INCH bags, and making sure I can live to 80 if SHTF since they can kind of stack and store neatly. I also wrap mine in some gorilla tape to have some on-hand and att some durability to them to prevent breakage.
For the sleeping bag: I would recommend one made with a nylon exterior if you do decide on changing it out since yours ripped easily from the zipper.
I would add a sewing kit and some extra cordura fabric too if you need to patch anything.
Also, I have a Savotta Jaakari XL as my INCH bag too, so if you havent already, i would wrap the frame in something like an ace bandage or something to kind of pad it, it really is a total lifesaver for comfort even with just 2 layers wrapped around the whole external frame. Especially wrapping the tops of the external frame will save your head incase you fall or have to shift your weight abruptly and the frame shifts and slugs you in the head.
If hunting, I would find a way to modify the pack to where you can create a meat shelf between the frame and the pack to hold maybe an elk quarter if needed.
Everything in your pack is scary-similar to mine, and for the past hour ive been just taking notes. Definitely one of the best INCH bag videos I've ever seen.
Thank you for the kind words and for the suggestions! Putting tape around the filter is a really smart idea
I've spent more than 4,000 and I don't have everything you have. Great job!. perfect selection on everything. I learned a few things on this one, I'm gonna make a few notes here
Awesome man, thank you for the kind words!
Thank you..I really like how you went over everything very in depth..very good set up..your cart thing will come in handy when you get a deer or other big game animals ...you could use it for a stretcher..
Pull or push your lady around the camp fire..
In case broken leg..keep a spare inter tube or a hand pump would complete your adventure in the great outdoors of Colorado
True that, and good advice! Thank you for watching; I appreciate it!
Great video. Lots of helpful ideas. I like to take extra care in packaging and storing liquids in the bag as they could: freeze, burst, puncture, leak, rupture, spill inside your bag and create a miserable mess. I like to use hard containers to protect liquids.
True that, that's a good suggestion. Thanks for watching!
Cart would certainly make a good improvised litter or to drag your deer out. Very good thinking through on your inch bag system. Thank you
True. That's what this cart is actually made for even
I try to use my backpack for just general prepping. Mine so far is a combination of a hunter kit and a prepping kit.
Makes sense to me
Cool video & Good setup. You should consider having a military poncho that doubles as a tarp instead of the plastic one . I'm with you with that you said about the knife I don't see a point in getting a bigger knife when you have the axe also the smaller knife is better for the small task. I have the jungle blanket it's rated to 45 degrees love it.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
I appreciate you watching and commenting!
I'm happy that you listened to my advice.
With the mission being not ever going back, part of that suggests being out in a blizzard. I am not sure how your blizzards compare to mine but I do know that cold camping sucks. A small hot tent and folding wood stove shouldn't really weigh any more than the Bunker and be much more versatile.
You're probably right. The main factor for that is cost as both a wood stove and hot tent are both expensive if you get one that's both durable and light weight. Just about all of the light weight wood burning stones I've seen are made from stuff like titanium, which from my research seems to not last very long when it comes to stoves or anything that requires a lot of heat.
That being said I'll keep looking in to it and will probably make that adjustment in the future. After all I get that's one of those things where once I try using a hot tent, I'll never go back to a normal tent
@@TheTroublemakersGuild even the less expensive poly hot tents aren't too bad for durability, I mean long term I would imagine you intend to build a static shelter. There are stoves out of Russian that aren't super expensive as well, I also prefer steel and there are many steel options available that add little weight over titanium.
@@turtlewolfpack6061 I'll have to look into it some more.
There's a bunch of summer homes in my bugout location so assuming SHTF happens when they're unoccupied, that's my first goal regarding long term shelter. Guess it really depends on what happens and how bad it is.
If that doesn't work out then yeah, we'll build something more sustainable
Nice set up my man, if weight is not a big priority for ya maybe a tent stove would be a nice addition also, I would be down to see a video on what you kept on your person in an off chance you do get parted with your kit?
Great idea! Gonna have to do some more brain storming for that! I am working on a new pack setup for an intermediate, more weight conscious setup. I'm sure I'll do a video on that soon
Nice! INCH bags are probably the hardest to build. I agree with the point you make at the top, "the more you know, the less you need" thing. It's not always that simple. Like to save weight, you leave your breakdown, folding, takedown survival bow because you know how to make a bow and you're good at flintknapping. Sure, if it was me, I would have the tools to make that stuff, but I would rather have something like a Spyder XL on hand. Building and using an INCH bag does require a good set of bushcraft skills to go with it. However, there are some things I think you are better off buying and bringing, instead of trying to make as you go. Things like a bow or arrow heads, a spear head, fish hooks, snare wire or even steel shot for slingshots. All of these have a bushcraft alternative to them, but to buy or make is up to you. I do like your setup. I think the bunker tent is a great choice.
Thank you! Definitely some good points made. This isn't the perfect bag for everybody or every situation, but it has its place
@@TheTroublemakersGuild Perfect? Maybe not, but it is still a very good bag!!
Lot's of good gear! I focused really heavy on durability and weight reduction for mine.
Smart play for sure.
Thanks for watching!
Great setup, just one concern. I know it’s not a true INCH situation, but train as you fight. Opening scenes, traveling to close together on an open established trail. Tent camping in an open space with fair sized open fire. Both in a true INCH case could get you raided or worse.
Definitely. This was a backpacking trip mostly for testing the gear but we'll do some more scenario based trips in the future. Thanks for watching!
@@TheTroublemakersGuild I've had a similar set up before and as the previous comment , yes you will get raided. I'm in Colorado and on a few days out training in the mountains, some A-holes attempted to steal my vehicle parked off the side of the dirt road. We've always camped in the tree lines cause of that, you'll need something that'll fit thru dens vegetation , if not go smaller and more manageable
@@nck4888 Always a possibility
Trails and open fires are for campers. Survivalists go through the mountains/ forests and dig fire holes.
What a plastic answer,train hard fight easy,but no I am filming for youtube and likes and comments and subs,trolley dolly
This is the real deal for the INCH Bag I don't really trust those videos of certain people having a small INCH back pack unless you live as a homeless person for a long time. You already knew the process of life living on the street literally.
I live on a farm. If things fall apart I figure the motorcycle gang will take over my house so my plan is to take a lot of stuff and retreat to the back side of the farm to live. So in my case, your set up would be perfect. I haver a stuffed Alice pack and a hand truck from Northern Tool to put it on but the bike idea is interesting. Thanks for showing us your set up.
Thanks for watching! Definitely some stuff to consider
A prepper saying "i'll add it later but for now, it's good enough"
Hilarious.
Which part are you referring to?
@@TheTroublemakersGuild 2:45, but I'm just clowning. It's such a specific item to be missing, I'm definitely not faulting you for it, but you gotta admit it's at least kind of funny.
@@jacobshannon6361 Fair enough lol
For a prepper, 'everything' is good enough for now. Unless you are possessed of infinite resources, knowledge and experience, NOTHING you have prepped will ever be perfect. Everything is in flux as you accumulate more resources and wisdom.
@@panpiper Exactly
Canadian here so I can relate to your kit. Add some snare wire if I may suggest. But Good vid man cheers! I'm a in my early 20s starting on building my bug out bag and you gave me some good insight on what I could throw in my bag as well. Stay safe and take care bud!
Thanks man, and glad I could help if only just a little bit! 🍻
If you have to get out and cannot get back you usually have to move fast and inconspicuous. This isn't exactly possible with this. I don't know the terrain in your area but here splitting it up over several bike bags or vehicle's like a quad would be better in manoeuvrability and grey man issues. The contents are well thought out but i would either reduce it to manageable size or do a vehicle bug out with either combustion engine or biking.
I'll take my car as far as it can go, then if it gets stuck in a roadblock or something I'll whip out the cart to get me the rest of the way to wherever I'm going
@@TheTroublemakersGuild i do the same thing with the bicycle and after it is expended i go on with my backpack. Here are many kilometres of bicycle lanes.
@@jacksonteller1337 Makes sense to me!
Bicycles are not smart. You can be grounded too easily, and tracked even easier. Tires are not reliable and hills are more difficult.
@@AddamSolo during WWII we used rims with rope or tree branches to keep them going. Here the main infrastructure is made for bicycles not cars.
hey, if you're looking for another tarp instead of the SOL orange tarp, look at the Arcturus survival blanket. heavier duty than the SOL and different colors
I've seen those on Amazon. The only reason I didn't pick it up was because of some of the negative reviews. Definitely a promising looking piece of kit though, if some of the kinks have been worked out
@@TheTroublemakersGuild ruclips.net/video/b0VckHOddIQ/видео.html check out that video, it's by corporals corner and he does a review and he tests it out to the max
@@wardschenck2115 Cool, thanks!
Self reliance outfitters makes a similar product that seems so be pretty solid.
I used to have a huge set up, till it was stolen! Now I just have a backpack. 🎒 If I can’t carry it comfortably, then I don’t want it. Especially in a I.N.C.H situation, but good luck brother 👍🏽
Sorry to hear that man.
Fair enough! Thanks for watching
Definitely do extra water filters
Definitely. I have a few extras lying around
With a cart or with out a cart their may become a time that you have to dump gear and ghost. For a time like that you should put together a small chest bag, with like the min essentials. I use a tactical “fanny pack”. Inside I have a don’t die in the woods emergency shelter, fire kit, cordage,trail mix,boo boo kit,water tabs, some chem lights ,fishing kit ,whiskey wipes(love those bad boys)and a compressed Poland spring water Bottle(ATM no fire arms beings I’m in NJ, but they aren’t far). I would suggest knives for you since you don’t carry any and a light source.I carry a light,knife, and multi tool on my person, part of my edc. Again this is just so when you drop your main gear , at least you have some gear you can hold out with and or get to another location with more gear.
Definitely. I can always remove stuff from the bag or ditch it entirely if need be (something many people in the comment section don't seem to understand).
I have a backpack on my plate carrier that has all/most of those goodies in it.
I also carry a knife everyday; I just don't see the appeal of carrying a huge fixed blade when I have a hatchet.
@@TheTroublemakersGuild I mean in a emergency flee setting. With adrenaline pumping you may not remember what’s not already attached to you.
Just came across your channel for the first time, great setup! My only productive criticism is, ditch the nylon/polyester for waxed canvas, when you use nylon/polyester on a daily basis the shelf life of it isnt very long and with an INCH bag you need your equipment to last for years 😉👊
@@Tony-us5jg That's valid! I didn't do that just for the weight savings. I reckon if things are THAT bad, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that there will be tons of abandoned houses or buildings to take shelter in
I hear the other guys out there working, I hear Santos slinging that hammer and he’s milking the clock talking about an inch bag. He’s about an inch from losing his job. 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
😂
Good video..watching from Perth Western Australia..
Thank you!
The next episode is my bug out golf cart😂
Good idea 🤔
Great kit, thanks for taking the time to share
Thank you! No problem and I appreciate you watching!
A bicycle is better, even in the woods. You can haul 100+lbs, and it's easier to push behind the handlebars than pulling from the front. The wheels/tires/parts are more universal, & you can ride or coast on sections like that dirt road. Plus you can mount lights, GPS/phone, gatling gun, snacks on the handlebars.
Good point. Devil's advocate, it's way easier to hurt yourself using a bike though
Hello I like you video, a thorough gear dump. In an INCH situation we will probably want to bring more things than what is possible. A cart seems to be a nice aid to transport more things and a heavier load. When you have tested your cart, what is your experience of using a cart in the woods, pros and cons? Best regards Klas from Sweden, a new subscriber.
Thank you! I've found that on flat ground or down hill, the cart makes things way easier. However up hill is way harder that it would be if I were carrying the pack. Also gets pretty squeaky so it would be important to keep some lubricant on hand
Loved that question! It looks like the wheels are height adjustable, I'm not knowledgeable enough to guess what works, but maybe experiment with changing the front and back wheel heights for uphill and also just a quick system to pull your pack off to carry it and then haul the almost empty cart up the hill? Maybe split into 2 bags, 1 you can grab and run with the 'most important ' + 1 backup/ nice to have bag on the cart?
@@lisamchutchison6572 Good ideas!
@@lisamchutchison6572 lisa, excellent idea
@@TheTroublemakersGuild This is expensive (~$1000) and may not be currently available, but a 'Monowalker' would likely serve you far better than a four wheeled cart.
ruclips.net/video/olnBPwIo1KM/видео.html
Inflateable tires? You might want a patch kit and a small pump.
Not a bad idea but they are run flats
I’m light-skinned black. I was sitting out in the sun filming, for about 4-hours or so. I got sun burned (red, painful; not a 2nd degree, but painful all the same. I will try to be better prepared next time.
I like it my idea was same wheel cart really smart for long tern inch bag
Hmmm orange for evade and survive... Might wanna paint that survival blanket ...
While I wouldn’t want to travel a great distance with that cart, I think it would prove very useful for collecting heavy logs for fire or shelter building, and evacuating an injured buddy who can’t walk out. You made some well-researched selections for your gear. As the saying goes, “good stuff ain’t cheap, and cheap stuff ain’t good” (usually 😉).
True that 👌
Thank you!
I tried some uncoated forest green colored bankline from Walmart, I dont know what size it was, about 1.2mm or about the thickness of a nickel and as soon as I snipped it it unraveled pretty bad, so lesson learned...only use tarred line
there are green survival blankets comparable to grabber, from arcteryx etc. youll find it Im sure.
Definitely. I've seen a few out there, just some have mixed reviews and/or are super expensive
This is so extra and I'm here for it!!
I would find out what the weak points are on that cart & have extra parts/hardware on hand in case you broke down in the field.
Definitely a good idea.
The cart however is a temporary solution in my opinion. If it were to break down, I'd probably just ditch it
Dude. Digging this. Awesome rig. Subscribed. D😎🇺🇸PDX
Thanks partner, I appreciate it 😎
Also what ever hygienic item you carry need to be sent free , reason for this hunting for food and scavengers will smell you and then take your stuff . Also if you are going to build a kit for long term 100% no your gear vs length of time . Your pack is extremely top heavy when you walk and run which in the wild running is never good fast walking is the key . Definitely change up your camo to woodland or multi cap or mix top a bottom never where one color or pattern . You must break up your silhouette . How you figure out your terrain to hide site is to test against animals to see if they notice you
Tools, trump gear. If you have a saw,axe, brace, and knife, you can live comfortably anywere, far off any trail. Dig a dakota firehole under a tree and sever any roots nearby. The tree will disperse the smoke and the hole will contain the light,but still impart warmth. You can boil the roots you cut and render the salt.
You can tap the tree for water. You can eat locusts and worms for food. Build a wiki up or lean to for shelter. Forget a rifle, you are never to be an agressor. Its too heavy and sois the ammo. Carry a handgun for defense, and craft a bow. Set snares for beaver and other herbivores, and avoid eating carnivores. Use a net for fishing.
Humans are amazing, if you simply use your imagination.
Disagree about ditching the rifle. Your number one threat in a real TEOTWAWKI situation, is human thieves who will have zero qualms about killing you for your gear. Your only defense against them is either 'never' being seen, or seen to be able to fight back. Your rifle is your life.
Katanaboy 500, nice, I plan on getting one eventually, I just have the Big Boy 2000XL Folding Saw atm. I have a Gransfors Bruk Scandinavian Forest Axe and my wife has a Silky Gomboy 240 and Gransfors Bruk Small Forest Axe, we both have two knives, TOPS Brakimo and a Mora Carbon Garberg. Inflatable pad is fine as long as you have Tenacious Tape, duct tape will work too, shoe goo, etc.
Nice stuff my man! I strongly considered the Scandi Forest Axe. May have been a better choice than the splitting hatchet but either way they will both get the job done.
I appreciate you watching, both my original video from 2 years ago and this one now! Means a lot
@@TheTroublemakersGuild every couple of months I'll look up Bug Out Bag or INCH Bag loadout videos. Nice setup man, definitely a massive improvement over the last one. Take it easy brother
@@joeyjones9041 Fair enough, and thanks again!
nice i dont have any saw besides the good ole swiss army knife saw on my swiss army knife lol saving up for a katana boy 500 and a pocket boy
if you get a silky order direct cheaper then amazon
Maybe I just pack good my full loadout is 45 pounds I wear half of that, and your jungle blanket will work to 40 degrees pretty good and with a fleece liner I've went down to high 20's.
That and I have more stuff than I need in here!
That's awesome to know about the jungle blanket though. Thanks for the info!
Glad to see I'm not the only person who carries an extra tailcap for my Rifle light.
If something happens to my pressure pad I can just swap my arisaka mount to the other side of my rail for thumb activation 👍
There you go. I run my light on the left side of the gun and I'm right handed. While shooting suppressed, that light serves as a barrier between my leg and the silencer. Also, if the pressure pad fails, I won't need to swap the light over at all cause it'll already be by my support hand.
Anyhow, thanks for watching!
@@TheTroublemakersGuild hell yeah man that's the kind of thinking and personalization I like to see. Vs everyone just copying each other.
I thought about doing the same thing, but because I have an offset ACRO paired with my Razor 1-6 so I opted to keep the light on that same side for simplicity sake and less snags.
Plus my Geissele rifle is a 14.5 I've never had a problem with my suppressor could see how it might be a problem with a shorter gun tho.
The pressure pads are actually why I don't recommend Streamlight products anymore. At least not the rifle lights. I have a lot of pistol lights and handhelds from them that have been outstanding for years, but I've had three different Streamlight pressure pads fail.
So eventually I went to a PLHV2 and Surefire pads.
Fair enough my man. It's all about using your gear and figuring out what doesn't and doesn't work for you 👌
How on Earth, can a fishing reel be illegal? Oh, I forgot, they made illegal to breath air or walk in the outdoors... It's illegal to live I guess... God forgive us.
No doubt
You are not a slave. Men do as they must, and unjust ordinance does not deter them. If you are not willing to die for your freedom, then you don’t have any.
Fishing reels are not illegal. It's the automatic reel-in feature that can be problematic, as it is a form of trap instead of manual fishing.
@@panpiper Thanks for explaining Peter! I really appriciate it

If it’s a bug bag warranty are not going to work in your favor so when making a kit you are the warranty and customer service line for your gear
Great video man!!
How long did it take you to get all this together? I mean I think 4 grand is at the minimum after researching the gear just your silky saw with extra blade and sleeping bag is $1100 without adding any shipping or tax.
Have you seen the light system for the packs? Kogalla ultras! Dude you need to add those and you’re golden!!
I have a similar investment maybe more , high end canvass tarps, titanium hot stoves, fairbult wool blankets and it took me over 4 years to acquire it all and I’m still always improving things.
Thank you!
I honestly can remember, but my original bug out bag video dropped in 2019 and I used a good amount of stuff from that one in this bag, so we'll say it's been a work in progress for quite a while, too lol.
I'll look into those lights!
Thanks that was helpful
My wife who is an EMS heard you say your tourniquet is on the inside of the pack and your trauma sheers are on the outside she said as a medical professional her opinion is you should swap those two cuz seconds matter in a situation where you need a tourniquet and she said sorry if that comes across rude because my husband i.e me is horrible at explaining things
No worries and it wasn't rude! That said, all of my on person kit has multiple tourniquets; two on/in the plate carrier, two on the belt, and I carry one every day. Not only that, but tourniquet weaken when exposed to the sun and elements for extended durations. That's why you don't see MIL guys with tourniquets strapped to their shoulders on their packs or plate carriers any more
Wow where do I start to begin help me please good video keep it up

Could you make a update video 2023?
I probably will eventually. Not much has changed to be honest
Could you make a follow up after two year?!
Perhaps this summer. Not much has changed
There are carts made for backpacking that have a waist belt.
I've seen those; I think canadian prepper did a video on them. The only downside is you can't quickly shed it if you're in a bad situation
@@TheTroublemakersGuild I don’t have his. I have the dixonRoller pack. It converts to a backpack and can handle 50 or a 75 pounds and is ultralight, at 7.5 pounds for the smaller one. Yes you can dump and run, just un-clip.
@@ulbushcrafting6592 I'll look into it. Thank you!
And test your gear that you can test . Pull through spaces and gun socks are need items for long term
Can you show how to adjust the frame for different heights. Can't find anything on it.
Good question. Lemme take a look at the pack and see how to do it. Maybe I can explain it here so I can wait until I make a review on the bag itself
Yinny Bachin I have purchased and used this bag(albeit mildy) and can definitly say that it fits me better than any Very large ruck ive tried on. Im a pretty small guy (5"7 110lbs) so Atleast for downsizing this thing works wonders for fitting to my frame. I can only assume the same for taller/bigger indiviuals.
I got some great ideas. I don't really have the money for such a comprehensive supply, but I do what I can. Anyway, I definitely need hygiene stuff, and maybe some snares.
For sure! A kit like this doesn't have to be made overnight.
Snares are good. If you've ever watched Alone, that's what most contestants have used to survive.
Thanks for watching!
If your bugging out a tent is definitely a horrible option to easy to be seen . Tarps and hammocks are the way to go ,hammocks are multi use . Also Colorado has cats etc you need a kit that can move on the fly fast the cart is a no go because you have to pull it or push it . That slows you down
If a cat is stalking you, I'd venture that running is the worst thing you could do. You are NOT going to outrun a cat and it will be more than happy to accept the gift of your back. You'd be better off tossing your morning kindling onto your embers, putting your back to the fire and wait for it, rifle in hand. Unless it is legit starving, it will back off.
@@panpiper pulling a cart is just a lunch truck
I believe in the INCH bag too. I feel if you ever have to flee home your probably not coming back.
I would put an extra water filter in. I know you can boil but if you lose that one sawyer filter or it breaks the water is going to taste like shit
Agreed.
Not a bad idea. Both the backpack on my plate carrier and my edc bag have extras though, so I should be good on that!
For the unindoctrinated: INCH = “I’m Never Coming Home”
You do not want to shave if your bugging out beards are camo and protection from elements
Awesomeness
Thank you!
Do you have a patch kit for you cart tires along with a means to reinflate plus spoons for removing the tubes from the tires ? Pretty good kit.
Nope, none of that stuff. That said the tires are supposed to be foam filled (or something like that) which will allow then to still function even after going flat.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
There's going to be so much awesome gear strewn along the trails, roads and woods, from people with way too much crap moving way too slowly.
Omg. What are you gonna snare with those... For small game those are way to big... Maybe for large game..
Great video. I learned some things from you, but get a REAL knife, Dude! In combat, you'd better drop that pack to fight! You won't make it running uphill with a heavy pack. I was infantry in my youth. You've got heart, and I am impressed with your setup. Thanks!
When you say real knife, do you mean for fighting or for survival?
@@TheTroublemakersGuild Survival. Check out Survival Lilly's knife.
That's a lot of weight. You'll make it an inch and be like. ok what can I ditch?🤣
Probably. Easier to ditch stuff than obtain stuff after shtf
That is why he is going out on multiple day outings with it. He's going a lot more than an inch to test it out. The weight is also why he is experimenting with a cart, which I think is a grand idea. If it turns out while he's moving to a safe location that the cart is more of an impediment than a boon, he can always ditch it, and ditch geat if need be. Frankly though, soldiers march with heavier packs than what he's got. He's young, and if he keeps in shape, he should have few problems getting to where he's going.
power wises your better off with a small foldable solar panel that you clip over the top of your bag that has more surface to then use that to charge your powerbank, cause the ones with solar panels, the panels are shit
Definitely. Really the only reason I didn't get one of those was price, but that's something I'll upgrade
wow, 4000 $ 😳 nice bunch of gear , hope you are trained to keep it. I never under stood an inch bag myself, I go with the BOB, but to each there own. Do you have a place to go or are you just going to wonder the wilderness? If so you are way short on food and medical. I prefer to have a place to go that is well stocked with all I need so I don't need to carry it all.Good luck, Hope its never needed but better to be prepared than not.Not a hater just my opinion.
Can you give me the information on the trolley you use please?
amzn.to/3ASs6F6
This would make a great load out for a four wheeler.
Would be perfect for that
Great video! Good stuff, you may want to consider a machete over the hatchet, a better fixed blade knife and smaller saw to lighten the load. Unless you plan on building a cabin I think that big saw is overkill. IMHO. I have Survival Lilly's APO1 knife and I love it. I got it from the Canadian Prepper since she does not have a supplier in the U.S. Did I miss a pot and a pan or grill for cooking?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good advice!
I won't be using a pan but I have a kettle and my metal Nalgene for boiling water to cook with
@@TheTroublemakersGuild If it is an INCH bag a small pan or packable grill will be useful to cook game that you catch.
@@lisajohnston6422 True. I figure I'll just use a stick like the cavemen lol
He’s in a cold area his choice of an ax is perfect. He needs to process wood quickly and an ax is the tool for the job. If anything the saw can be reduced in size to a Gomboy like you said and a small machete can be added for summer use and it would be about the same weight. I also have the Carbon Garberg! Awesome knife! He also definitely needs a pot.
Awesome video cuz!!!!
Thanks cuzzo!
From a fellow ginger, still hoping that sunscreen companies manufacture a redhead specific sunscreen for us like SPF 1000,000,000+ 😁😆😅
Probably never gonna happen unfortunately lol
Just looking for inspiration for anything I could’ve missed, but you need some form of primitive weapon. A bow & arrow, slingshot, or a blowgun. Your ammunition will deplete at some point no matter how much you conserve it. I would use the primitive weapons as my primaries and the firearms as emergency use only for dealing with threats of the bipedal variety. I’m waiting on funds to get a bow myself. And if you get a blowgun get a 625. caliber blowgun by Cold Steel/SlockMaster. Bow draw strength of at least 45 pounds. A wool blanket is a must have! It keeps you warm even if it’s damp and it’s fire retardant. So if you are in a sleeping bag that’s made out of nylon with a small fire throw the wool blanket on it to protect it. I don’t know how I did it but I have a whole lot more in my kit but yet my pack isn’t nearly as large as yours. Also if you have to ditch the main pack, have the pack lid be your quick ditch bag with the bare essentials for survival in it and some small form of shelter like a basha tarp. Instead of having such a massive weight on your back spread the weight around. Get a HPG kit bag it sits on your chest and it’s compatible with pretty much all back packs. It’s also a great way to carry your pistol. It will counter balance the load on your back. Also if it’s just you going alone I would suggest a TCOP by Eureka. It’s a single person tent that’s all season. It’s only 8 pounds. Cuts off the weight of that gargantuan 3 person tent. I’d say that tent is a tad excessive. Do have any form of rain gear at all? You’re gonna need it. Take some seeds along with you, it takes no room and it weighs nothing.
Good suggestions! I'll make a more in depth reply once I get some time to do so
I do own a bow but I can't imagine a realistic scenario where I'll blow through a combined 373 rounds of 9mm, 5.56 and .22 before I myself get taken out lol. It's certainly possible but if that does happen then perhaps it's my time to go. Bows require a lot of maintenence for the strings and slingshots will wear out quickly too. Guns and ammo will run out but it will be a while.
I will have a group with me when i go. The Bunker fits me, my girlfriend and all of our gear and weighs the same as or less than that Eureka tent. I've also seen some Eureka tents that have an added feature of being a swimming pool after all the condensation that builds up throughout the night. I've had 0 condensation in the snugpak.
Keeping all the essential stuff at the top is I great idea but unfortunately the top pouch is not removable on this backpack from what I can tell. At least not quickly.
I carry my ammo on a plate carrier so a chest rig won't work for me unfortunately.
Wool blankets are great and maybe I'll get another one eventually. I took my original one out because its heavy and doesn't make up very small.
Seeds are a great idea. Might look into that for sure!
@@TheTroublemakersGuild those beefy snares though what are those? Those look like they are for deer or something of that size. I laughed at the Eureka remark. They do hold condensation.
@@squirreltamer2548 You know, I got them off or Amazon and now I can't find any snares at all anymore! Unfortunately I cannot remember the brand either. Sorry about that!
Eureka does make a good tent! But yeah, they have some issues too lol
A bow and arrows are big and bulky. Moreover arrows and arrow heads break, so they are of limited duration, especially when compared to all that bulk. Blowguns do minimal damage and are of practical use only if poisoned IMO. A slingshot however is compact and ammunition never runs out. Spare bands do not take up much space or weight. That is definitely the route I would go for saving ammo. Another added benefit of course is that they make little noise.
If you would get rid of all the packings and wraps, you probably going to loose 20lbs quickly. I just prefer a lighter load, more mobility and less noticeable by others.
Fair enough
Brother, I Love the cart! How much clothes do you carry and what guns and how much Ammo? Best Regards!
As far as clothes go, I actually just strapped an Adidas bag full of clothes right on top or underneath the backpack itself. For this trip we were on I had a couple days worth of clothes but honestly just mostly wore the same outfit the whole time despite how gross that sounds lol.
Geissele Super Duty 11.5 and Sig P365XL. 6 or 7 mags for the AR and 3 mags for the Sig
@@TheTroublemakersGuild Thank you for responding back! I'm a Marine I know about wearing same clothes and canteen showers! Thanks for being honest! Awesome load out on protection! Thanks for the update and your time! Best Regards! By the way axe and saw is BADASS!
@@chadliggett286 No problem man, thanks for watching and for the kind words! And more importantly thanks for your service!

Sig P365XL... My pistol of choice too.
What is the weight of the pack (including water)? and what make is the pack? I like how it sits high on your back..
With everything inside I think it's like 60 or 70lbs including food and water.
It's a Sarma Jääkäri XL. I have the link in the bio
@@TheTroublemakersGuild Ok, thanks. Yea, that's a quality pack, capable of carrying the weight comfortably. All the best!
@@maninthearena1448 Definitely. Really enjoying it so far. Thanks for watching!
Love the setup man but question can you tell me the difference between a bug out bag and a inch bag if you don’t mind? I have a bag with my edc stuff portable charger and small boo boo kit and and some other stuff
Bug out and inch bag is basically the same. Only difference is the inch bag stands for " im never coming home " so its made for LONG term compared to a simple 72 hour bug out bag.
What Adly said. In my opinion a bug out bag is basically a get home bag with a little more food and maybe some other simple things for a shelter; 2 or 3 days tops. A get home bag is for less than a day to a day and a half. An INCH bag is for an indefinite amount of time. That's why you can get away with a 15lb BOB but cannot get away with a 15lb INCH bag
@@TheTroublemakersGuild hey thanks man??
@@outdoors_review thanks to you too man!!
My interpretation of an inch bag is a bugout bag with an emphasis on tools for long term survival. An example of these tools would be a fishing net, saw for shelter building, and a sharpening stone.
I love my hawk cart but you may want to consider getting solid tires. I always have to pump the tires every deer season.
It's called a sharpening puck...not a sharpening stone
Yeah yeah yeah
Just as an fyi, Walmart and dollar stores sell travel toothpaste and toothbrushes.
How much stuff can you actually put inside and outside that backpack before its full compared to things like the bugout roll?
A LOT. My entire sleep system fits in the bottom section alone
Pack what you can carry... Starting with essential items...
I do like the concept... The cart is a good idea as long as you don't run into others... Oh wait there will be lots of others doing the same thing but with less. You have more. And they will take it from you... Dead or alive...
Lighten up your sleep system. Did you have a rifle or any ammo. Lol. That’s a lot of stuff. Cut out the big heavy snare wire and make lighter gauge ones. Nice job.
Definitely covered on the rifle and ammo. It can get to -40 in my area so I don't see how I can lighten my sleep system other than getting rid of my blanket and pillow and/or buying lighter, more expensive stuff.
I could definitely adjust the snares to make a lighter setup, that's for sure.
Thanks for watching
@@TheTroublemakersGuild Yeah I was kinda talking about a lighter sleeping bag or quilt. They are expensive but well worth it. I’ve got an enlightened equipment 20 degree quilt. There are much lighter tents out there. Litefighter makes a great 1 man military tent I use and a winter kit for it. I know Colorado well. Look into how ultra light backpackers run their stuff. Light base weight. Then go from there. Lighter ditty bag materials ect.
Brand of the carry cart please, thnks awesome video.
Hawk. I have a link in the pinned comment above
Well thought out kit, did I miss the maps and navigation??
Pretty much right in the middle but it's not something I harp on much
@@TheTroublemakersGuild Ok thanks for the reply. I have added sling shot bow and arrows, veg seeds. A few packets of vegetable seeds is one item that is lightweight and can make a big difference on long terms wilderness survival.
@@spatialinterpretations449 True that. Good additions
@@spatialinterpretations449 Seeds are indeed a great addition to an inch bag. A slingshot for sure is a great way to save ammo if you've practiced with it.
So does anyone else think that that hand saw, really it looks like a 2 or 3 person saw, is too big, I mean I've never used it but it looks like it might be too big for most projects surely would come in handy in other places tho
It's not small, thats for sure. Really the point of that saw is for taking down a tree or making segments of a tree to split with my axe later on
You owe it to yourself and your education to see them being used.
ruclips.net/video/HtY1pxYCO2k/видео.html
Hey I have the same ruck. If you dont mind me asking how do you pack your ruck? ( Basically ive read external vs internal frame bags are supposed to be packed diff from each other. I read for externals all the heavy weight should be uptop opposed to close to the body.) Would be appreciated :)
Honestly I don't put much thought into it. The bug out roll and tent account for most of the weight and they're spread out across basically the first 2 feet of the main compartment. As you saw on the video I keep my sleep system in the bottom compartment and they don't weigh much. So all in all I guess technically the heavy stuff is further up top
@@TheTroublemakersGuild Cool appreciate it
@@matchdust7049 Of course. Appreciate you watching!
The bag you will get will be dictated to you by the gear you will be carrying, not the other way around. Get your gear together, figure out where you want it all to go in a bag then go find the bag. You get the bag first, the bag will dictate what you carry.
Nice review. Gave you a sub.
Thanks man; means a lot!
Morning brother, like it new name 👍. Well mate feeling like shit this morning lol. Have the flu... That's a great setup there. An easy to use. But we're is your rifle?? Would that go on the side of the rucksack. Well mi friend tc Andy 👍🇬🇧😎🇺🇸
Bummer! I hope you feel better soon my friend.
The rifle and armor would still be worn traditionally on my person with a sling. Since I'm not wearing the backpack on my back, I can still use some body armor and the rifle sling comfortably without an insane amount of strain on my shoulders.
You take care as well, and again, feel better soon!
@@TheTroublemakersGuild thank you mi friend. I hope so as well lol...
So I see this mistake alot this set up would make an excellent bug out bag but it misses the mark a bit when it comes to an i.n.c.h. bag. A bug out bag is meant to sustain you from point a to point b or sustain you for a short period of time (3 months or less) an inch bag is meant for you to permanently establish yourself somewhere else. An inch bag should be incredibly tool heavy, an axe, saw, auger, shovel chisel etc. Long term food procurement traps and snares fishing gear. Building materials I've know plenty to carry a box of 3inch heavy duty nails. Mainly you want tools or gear that is hard to replicate in the bush that allow you to harvest and manipulate the natural resources you have available to you
I don't want to be too critical of the video and his efforts. I agree with your statements. If one is truly never coming home you would need much more than camping/hiking equipment. Real tools such as gardening implements, cast iron cooking vessels-dutch ovens, fry pans. Full size saws and axes for wood processing. As you mentioned, augers and other carpentry staples. Heirloom seeds and an abundance of salt and sugar for food preservation is also necessary for any long term existence. I would consider a .22 rifle, a 12 gauge shotgun, and plenty enough ammo for each to last for many years. I enjoyed watching the video. However, I feel these things are not realistic to a "forever" situation.
