I'm always surprised that people don't include and extra pair of socks in these. Small and simple but can make a huge difference in comfort and foot care.
Yes, as someone who camps off a motorcycle, I always have extra socks. If your feet are uncomfortable, especially for hiking, then you will be uncomfortable. They are so small when packed, and will offer more comfort than most of the extra "C's" he listed. I always carry 3 pair of merino wool socks (one to wear, one to wash, one that's dry).
I use my extra pair of socks for dollar store readers and protective eye glasses. And yes I have needed both at one time or another. Hand warmers/foot care digestive aids and pain relief are essential t my first aid kit. Thank you so much for the excellent suggestions and presentation
When winter training in the norwegian army, changing socks and foot care is one of the most important things you can do, taking care of your boots is also "foot care" making sure they take care of your feet nd always have a extra pair of socks
@@KirstenBayes probably in his Mors Kochanski voodoo doll when he's stuck in the middle of nowhere thinking I should have just stayed with basketball instead of bushcraft, lol 😆
It is a very cool item thats for sure it easily fits in the car.As far as what I would add to the 5 "C" list for me would be.1- A minimum of 30 days supply of personal prescription medication. Some can cause you to be way worse to even life threatening if you miss them.2- alergy tablets3- Tube tent I have used these lots of times.4- Emergency sleeping bag5- signal flares
A great comprehensive kit, I like the container idea you have with the foldable aluminum, although not good to use long term that is a great packable solution and resolves the packable container issue. Theres also the bear bowl that was just released that you may want to look into. Nice little IFAK also. Thanks a million for sharing the roll and your generous feedback my whole theory behind it is that 90% of the time is spent at base camp and that should be a comfortable and organized experience!
Canadian Prepper ... Love your channel ! I think your message is getting out there. I’m back into outdoor adventure again for the first time in almost 10 years. As you say, 90% of your time is at base camp. My purchases are less about hiking, and more about setting up hunting style base camp. Be comfortable. No sense spending 3 days in Algonquin only to spend 3 weeks at the physio recovering. That realization has made my purchases much more clear. Surviving is not thriving.
16) Catching devices - (traps, snares, spear) 17) Construction tools - (axe, shovel) 18 - Convex lens (magnifying glass, glasses) 19) Conversation materials - (Books - instructional or other to stave off boredom, loneliness) 20) Carry bag - (back pack - or in this case a BUG OUT ROLL. These would be for more long term, or INCH situation
Seems like a lot of expensive gear in order to survive. More like “C” for comfort...or “C”heckout my “C”ool “C”ollection of “C”rap. Keep it real, just a thought.
I certainly wouldn't have the same kit as this guy has, either. But in his preparation for survival, one thing he should do is not give a shit what someone else would do. That's the most "real" strategy.
Radical Wilderness ....not my style either. With that said, who cares what he has. At least he is planning ahead. Its a nice thorough kit. He spent way too much, but its his money...so again, who cares
something you might try with your "cooking" stuff is cream of wheat. it comes in small packets ( similar to oatmeal) you pour some boiling water into it, and stir, then you have hot food in minutes that sticks to your ribs while you are working hard trying to get out to safety. I keep 3 meals worth ( I am a big guy, so 2 packets = 1 meal) in my wheelchair get home kit. also, if you put that cordage in a doughnut, it will never tangle, and quick deploy when needed. I did a video last year on how to tie cordage doughnuts. I carry a 200'+ of 550, and about 150' of 95 lb cord with me in my chair kit as well.
So we use something similar for military trauma care called a trauma roll. Each compartment has different items; airway, bleeding control, splinting, wound care, ect. Good idea to adapt it for survival items. I would recommend this product to focus aa a bug-in or base camp setup. I don't think u want to hump this kit around, as u would be heavy and move too slow.
Interesting video... Man has been using these items for a long long time. The only thing dave came up with is the 5 c's acronym so it would be easy to remember & teach. He will tell you this himself.
Jet fuel canister, MSR jet fuel type camp stove, tarp or SOL escape bivey sleeping bag, 3 glow stick lights, small crank solarsnail radio, SAS mini guide, small shovel, 2 liter waterproof bag, 3 yoyo fisher reels, baofeng uv-5r radio, zip ties varying sizes and flares
Instead of that stove you could use the pathfinder stove. It nests right in with the rest of the that pathfinder kit. Saves little space. I like their alcohol stove too since it holds so much fluid. I threw mine in a maxpedition bottle bag.
A kiss of life should be part of your every day carry. They are available for your keyring/keychain. I have one on my keychain and on my workbag zipper. A headnet doesn't use batteries and is multi role in an emergency.
Interesting thing is that i never see on youtube with "tactical/survival" guys and something i always carry in a pack especially if i go for a weekend trekking or longer, 1.nailclipper (for me inside first aid ) 2.kichen sponge (small one with one "harder" side) 3. small plastic container with detergent. 1- you have many many chances to damage your nails, part of a rock climb, harvesting, or just to keep your nail clan so the dirt doesn't get under them. 2-so you can properly clean your hands, pots,containers,cloathes or what ever. 3-goes with the sponge.
Great ideas but I feel you are light on cover. The basics of shelter are Under/ On and In. This also goes with comfort. I would add minimum drum liners to sleep on with debris. Also a SOL breathable bivy.
Love the Canadian Prepper Bug out roll! Just got my own but have not set it up yet. Thanks for all the great suggestions. One thing the Canadian Prepper added to his was the "Bear Bowl". This cook pot folds flat and can be used over and over again. This replaces the tin foil pie pans which will crack after a couple of actual uses on a fire. I like the idea of food in the Bug Out Roll and would add the emergency rations (I think from the coast guard). You can pack 2,000 calories that don't need to be cooked and with a shelf life of 2-5 years they are a great way to add calories without expending calories like hunting and gathering which is important while on the go. Well thought out as usual. Love the channel!
Nice Portable ROLL. -Portability is important; after spending 30 days in SHTF Puerto Rico after the hurricanes I have a new appreciation for portability & convenience.
I'm good. Never once felt in fear of my life except when the Jeep broke down on the side of the road. I documented a lot of my time down there on video, and posted to my channel. Enjoy watching if you like Tim.
Comfort I would add some kind of croc sandles or something to air out the feet and them to breath. Another glasses cleaner cloth, aids in being able to see, always helpful. For cutting maybe a multitool of somekind, Gerber I use, because I got it free, leatherman is also highly recommended.
I've never counted my c's before... But I have all of them except for cooking and a container I can boil water with. This is an excellent product and idea to separate and account for gear!
Following the two is one and one is none, I made sure I have both a biofuel stove and a canister stove. My choice is the Firebox Nano. I also carry a canister stove which is the Pocket Rocket 2. Literally just bought the solar charger on Amazon and they were on sale for about $10 off! Super sweet!
You for got the most important "c" of all... Club sandwich... Just kidding, great vid man. I do think this is more of a "vehicle kit" though. I honestly don't think it would make it on more than two or three hikes before it started being left at home. Thanks for sharing!!
74 now my dad did that since I can remember and so do I been help with 4 boys over the years mostly fly fishing with 4 young ones learning to fly fish hooking the ears . now there all grown up with there own ear hookers. HAPPY TRAILS.
You might want a crank-generator, to recharge what you can, because a simple small waterwheel is not that difficult to make, nor is it something like a pedal-powered gearbox to power the crank with your feet. I would also include a flint-and-steel and a radio. And a small/tiny pump (powered by pistoning (push-pull, like the syringe), cranking or pedal-pressing), in case the water is not safe to drink, or even muddy.
I’ve found the wrap too expensive so have bought the elements separately with the same spec expect I’ve got a gortex outer layer with a large Pocket to store tarp and also thinking of an plastic bit in the outer to store my cell phone and map. So got my sewing machine and attachments and saved about $50
Awesome kit. It gives me more ideas. One C I must have is Coffee, cream,sugar. I hope to one day own the Canadian Preppers' bugout roll. I never get tired of seeing how people set there's up. All in one kit in front of you, plain as day. God bless you
calories, dried fruits, nuts, jerky, mres, trail mix, or gorp, power bars, coffee, tea, bullion cubes, soup mix packets, hot chocolate, powdered milk, sugar packs, oat meal packs, all light weight an quick food source that you can add forage goods to or improve the taste of.
Tim great job with the review. The Canadian Prepper is great channel. The survival roll is awesome idea small and portable. Take care and stay safe my friend.
The Bear Bowl reminds me of some Orikaso dishware I bought more than 10 years ago. I still have them but have not used them much. Since they weren't designed to be cooked on, just dishware. Love the Bug Out Roll man. Hope to get one some day.
Coffee!!!! So important haha.....but I would also put wool socks under clothing where I live the winter is harsh and wool socks are amazing to have.....great vid you have influenced me so much and helped me be prepared I appreciate it...thanks !!
Cool that you are building off Dave C.'s list. I build my packs on a 15-C list too. Some variations from yours: Cutting, Combustion, Cover, Container, Cordage we match up pretty close (I list my poncho under "Cover". I veer off a little (different organization) from there. In candling, I include a UCO lantern with citronella candles for mosquitoes. In the cotton area, I include gloves, hat, clothing change. Rather than Compass, I call the next area Comms/Navigation, and include compass, map, pen/paper, phone charger, radio, whistle, mirror, binocs and cash. I include the sewing kit with the Canvas needle. Then on to Clean, Care, Consumables -- pretty much where you are. Since most of your comfort category is addressed elsewhere, I have two final categories: Control and Carrier. Control includes bear spray, weapons, trip wire and alarms, and walking stick or trekking poles. The Carrier category inventories all the bags, pouches and whatnot (i.e. dump pouches, drum liners, dry bags, sustainment pouches). I have everything inventoried twice - a master list by "C's", and a locator list (i.e. left side, lower pouch contains . . . .). The inventory is in a ziplock, in the upper, outer pouch, and tells you instantly what you have and where it is. Love your vids, keep it up!
Cool pack, few items I hadn’t seen or heard of before. I would also consider adding a small bottle of dish soap and more importantly, hand sanitizer. The hand sanitizer is versatile for cleaning and fire starting (alcohol content.) when you get to rotating your supplies, you might want to consider getting bacitracin with zinc instead. We use it in the hospitals now. Great vid! 😃💗
I did the same mistake as you and had wayyyyy too many repeats. I believe we (you, me and the people commenting) all have a hard time distinguishing the line between a bugout bag from a survival bag, a bushcrafting bag, a hiking bag and a weekend bag. This one is definitely a bugout bag, but with too many long-term options and repeats in gear (not to mention the super excessive sewing kits) for the length of time it will keep you alive. Harsh, but true. I myself am learning as I practice that I carry way too much survival gear, too many options for similar tasks, too much gear I even forget I carry, and not enough apparel (I just call it cover). A water proof jacket, hat and extra socks (+ 1 pair underwear for god's sake! Just call it extra char cloth material when you change it.) should really be mentioned in the original 10 C's list, but Canterbury calls it more like EDC. You seem to collect a lot of cool gear. I did that too, but for some reason I started feeling bad that most of it wasn't used at all. Instead, I started multiplying my hobbies, but try to stick to just enough stuff that it all gets to see some usage. Once a year. Mostly...
Like the video. 5 extra c's Carry, cash, calorie, caffeine, communication. I would recommend getting some dirt time with your kit will help refine it a great deal. Include urban settings, montains, woods, water and sea shore. Potassium permanganate is cool kit very useful also look into SF P.A.C.E planning it refines your kit better then 2 is 1 & 1 is none.
I love the organization. When you're adrenaline starts pumping and your looking for that 1 item, it's nice to trust your organization vs your memory. I would add socks to clothing / ranger-roll. It's socks, skivvies, and a t-shirt all rolled up. Love your vids!
On cutting tools, I carry the outdoor saw with multiple blades. An Esee 6 knife, a Morakniv pathfinder, now is a full tang,, handle broke so I cut the rat tail off and made it a full tang now. Plus I carry a HB forester Ax. The leatherman you showed is a good one. However I prefer the wave. Shelters: It is very expensive, but I got my tarp from a company called Zpack out of fl. Total weight of my tarp= 7oz. My prefered bag of choice is the 5.11 covt 18 tactical backpack that is converted to bushcraft. If anyone want to see my pack. Videos are up on FB. Same name as here. As one that does a lot of solo survival bushcraft, I would say that the product here would be something for many to think about for organization. Myself personally, I carry only a quart bag of freeze dried pinto beans. This is all the food I carry for a 14 day solo survival. Oh, Hi... I'm Jämí
Dave C. Came up with an interesting mnemonic device which is actually hard to remember and fails to include some basic survival items such signal devices but includes quirky items like duct tape and a canvas needle. They're useful but very debatable if required in actual survival. Remember he sells a course and the ten cs are needed for the class. He's not wrong but those items are part of a specific style and skill set.
I’d be tempted to throw in two or three bladders from wine casks and maybe some string bags or nets to hang them in cos they are light and strong and can be good for storing extra water while you are not on the move. Also a crystal radio could be good as you don’t need batteries or maintenance and it’s negligible weight.
Love the Bug Out Roll but because it's relatively large, I would like to see options for carrying hands free like an attachable shoulder strap and/or backpack straps. The AMP-3 Medical Roll has that capability but unfortunately the company doesn't offer an option to get the bag by itself. You have to get the bag with all the medical components. In the past it was $270 but now it's $410. I suppose I could just MacGyver some straps onto the Bug Out Roll. Love how modular it is and offered at a fair price of around $130.
Very complete kit. I really like the way you have your gear compartmentalized. Great organization. One "C" that you probably won't need in the woods, but it is a good thing for a BOB is CASH. Always good to have small bills when the ATM's go down. Can't think of a C word for these, but what about Prescription Meds if you need them? Spare glasses if needed? Sunglasses? Might fit in the Comfort C. A small radio so you know what is happening in a Bug Out scenario?
You can figure out what "C" to put these items under. Toothbrush, Deck of cards, 2 packs of wipes, Light Sticks, Hand Warmers, Deodorant, Soap, Hotel Packets of Shampoo, Handgun/Ammo, Super Glue (Can use in lieu of stitches), Comb, Pony Tail Holders, UNDERWEAR,. IDK, you are pretty comprehensive in your thought process. Good job, I saw a few things I didn't have in my bug out bags. I think I will have to repack mine. I have too many medical things.
To many repeats of the same gear, like knives, lights, etc you cannot pack all this very far, this is really a truck set of gear. I have bug out bag that weighs 17 pounds and the quart of water is in that 17 lbs. I have things like spare glasses, medication, decent size first aid, gloves, hat, bug spray, light & extra batteries, bug spray, clean under shorts, small pot, 3 days of food, coffee, cordage, water purification, small saw, fish kit, this weight has my sheath knife and pocket knife in it the pack. So I feel I am on the heavy side pack and all is 17 lbs.
Barry Bueler one way to do it that I found works is think what you use most to least and start there adding as you can. Like for instance dollar store candles, sewing kits, lighters all daily items that you can buy really cheap. Knives saws thats stuff you wont use day to day for the most part so you don't need to run out and buy a $100 knife because it looks cool I have a $20 boot knife that I have had for like 20 years and it is still one I carry. The big thing is don't get drawn into the whole if it's expensive then I need because it's good game. Lots of my gear is either from military stores or grage sales like my carrying gear. My other items are things I have from years ago, things like extra clothing you already have. In the Army we packed what we needed not what we wanted, it's something I still do. If you really cant think of what you should get drop me a line I will have no issue helping you out.
You actually had 6 additional C's - I have the same additional C's though: Care, Communication, Cleaning, Cooking & Comfort - you also added Clothing which I use in place of the cotton bandanna item in the middle 5, where the bandanna is the 1st item in that category for me - cool we had the same things though!
im a big fan off adding more Calories as a rule, youre not always gonna be able to snare or fish or hunt especially if its a situation you have to be mobile like a get home or migration situation and a handful of premade or simple to make meals can really keep morale and energy up. i really like the bridgeford sandwiches as an eat while moving option, as well as a datrex\lifeboat food bar for the last ditch food if everything else fails. Collection is another C i advocate, any small belt mountable or compressible container for foraging tinder materials, foods, or even usable found objects that you may want separate from your main pack or are too small and loose to store in your bag. the last C i see a lot of people leave out is Comfortable Sleeping, especially for a mid to long term use, having a sleeping pad or mat and a good blanket or sleeping system\bag can really help get you more comfortable and more rested in an already stressful situation.
Jens Williamson, III (Deaf) He brought the First Aid. His grade is A+. Many people forgot about First Aid in USA and the world. We know that. You will know. Okay! Thanks for your time. Have a great day! Respectfully, Jens C. Williamson, III 😎😷👍🇺🇲 Bexar County 🇨🇱 Hearing Impaired The Disability ✅ (approved) * I will always leave my First Aid in my truck's camper. I never know! You will get it!!!
I like your bug out kit. Now here is a suggestion. Have the ability to recharge your candle (lights) with either sun or hand cranked. Also, for your primary items, make sure to go with things that are NOT expendable items. If it is for a 72 hr pack, your pack is perfect. If it is for a long term survival need, then go tool heavy. People make a lot of mistakes of putting things that do not last very long in their bags. This increased weight and thus burn more calories for little in return for survival benefit. Your items are great though. I have written them down and I will work on my kit with your suggestions.
Great video!! I would add AM/FM/short wave/NOAA radio and/or walkie-talkie/HAM radio to keep connected to what is happening in your area. What are your thoughts about the Iunio folding shovel and axe? They seem to add a lot of tools in a compact space - freeing up space to other items.
I want to get a red one for use as a large group med kit and to just organize my supplies, I would add "camp security" like protection from freeloading animals or the occasional unwanted visitor who may want to crash your party
HELL Yeah Gloves , toilet paper + I seriously bring a pop up enclosure for privacy with a bucket & a salvaged toilet seat . everyone laughed -- then over time - everyone used it . + Grocery bags to swap out after each person used it .
Those are heavy.. Just find some plastic water bottles and tie a good length of line around the middle ( tie it tight ) of the bottle, and then fix your line up with hook and bait and go find a stick about knee high and wind up your line a couple of passes around the bottle turn the bottle upside down on the stick you pushed down in the bank near the water. When the fish takes the bait they will run with it. When they run out of line it grabs them and they get hooked. The bottle doesn't come off the stick. This is not my idea I seen it on a video on youtube.
My advice for everyone is to write your "BLOOD GROUP" (A+, B-, O+....) on your backpack or somewhere it can quickly and easily be seen .. ). Something i learnt while in the army in case of a life threatening situation ..
Thanks for adding a list of links to every item mentioned. I wish some of the links would be to eBay instead of Amazon, which uses PayPal if you don't have a credit card, which is more convenient to many of us who have ditched credit card use. Great video!
would have been VERY useful to see that fully packed "Bug Out Roll" _actually rolled up and hanging off your shoulder_ . There are several of you out there that noticed this intentional omission and have the street smarts to infer the reason.
A lot of nice gear bro, but you might want to keep the IFAK, blood stop (etc) immediately accessible in a belt pouch or other quick-access location. Kudos for adding them to your kit, but If you ever need those critical items ... you need them yesterday. Just saying. :) Edit - new sub
you need to invest in solar cell battery chargers for lights and as well as solar lights for your camp need to keep power at night .lol ok you have ok.... lol good job well done stay safe .
I'm always surprised that people don't include and extra pair of socks in these. Small and simple but can make a huge difference in comfort and foot care.
Yes, as someone who camps off a motorcycle, I always have extra socks. If your feet are uncomfortable, especially for hiking, then you will be uncomfortable. They are so small when packed, and will offer more comfort than most of the extra "C's" he listed. I always carry 3 pair of merino wool socks (one to wear, one to wash, one that's dry).
Yup, socks can mean life or death. No joke.
I use my extra pair of socks for dollar store readers and protective eye glasses. And yes I have needed both at one time or another. Hand warmers/foot care digestive aids and pain relief are essential t my first aid kit. Thank you so much for the excellent suggestions and presentation
I wrap stuff in socks pairs so I have extra plus protection for fragile items
When winter training in the norwegian army, changing socks and foot care is one of the most important things you can do, taking care of your boots is also "foot care" making sure they take care of your feet nd always have a extra pair of socks
I would add Dental Floss can be used as cordage, sewing thread, fishing line and of course oral hygine and doesn't take up much space
I use the #36 bank line as dental floss...
@@PlayaSinNombre ah tar to make your gums a healthy shade of black
It was good to see what you have in your BOB because I have pretty much what you have including medical Caesar hospital grade… thank you!!
"C" for Can't have enough needles ..one is none and 64 is one
Real talk. Where do they go?
@@KirstenBayes probably in his Mors Kochanski voodoo doll when he's stuck in the middle of nowhere thinking I should have just stayed with basketball instead of bushcraft, lol 😆

Hello Tim, that's a very thorough kit. It's good that we occasionally review the 10c's, plus 5. Nice looking gear organizer. Take care and be safe. 🤗
Thanks for checking it out, Ronald.

Glad to showcase your product - really liking it...especially since you helped me figure out how to wrap it all up now.
Canadian Prepper ...

The roll is $150. What happened to a Swiss Army knife, extra socks , poncho and MRE?
He has a new roll for $109.00
Look at fishing roll bags... under $20
16) Catching devices - (traps, snares, spear) 17) Construction tools - (axe, shovel) 18 - Convex lens (magnifying glass, glasses) 19) Conversation materials - (Books - instructional or other to stave off boredom, loneliness) 20) Carry bag - (back pack - or in this case a BUG OUT ROLL.

If a youtubers knives look brand new out of the package, I skip it unless it's a "preview"
something you might try with your "cooking" stuff is cream of wheat. it comes in small packets ( similar to oatmeal) you pour some boiling water into it, and stir, then you have hot food in minutes that sticks to your ribs while you are working hard trying to get out to safety.

Agreed- solid option.
I absolutely love that saw. It cuts wood like warm butter!

Man has been using these items for a long long time.
The only thing dave came up with is the 5 c's acronym so it would be easy to remember & teach. He will tell you this himself.

Instead of that stove you could use the pathfinder stove. It nests right in with the rest of the that pathfinder kit. Saves little space. I like their alcohol stove too since it holds so much fluid. I threw mine in a maxpedition bottle bag.
A kiss of life should be part of your every day carry. They are available for your keyring/keychain. I have one on my keychain and on my workbag zipper. A headnet doesn't use batteries and is multi role in an emergency.
Interesting thing is that i never see on youtube with "tactical/survival" guys and something i always carry in a pack especially if i go for a weekend trekking or longer,
1.nailclipper (for me inside first aid )
2.kichen sponge (small one with one "harder" side)
3. small plastic container with detergent.
1- you have many many chances to damage your nails, part of a rock climb, harvesting, or just to keep your nail clan so the dirt doesn't get under them.
2-so you can properly clean your hands, pots,containers,cloathes or what ever.
3-goes with the sponge.
Great ideas but I feel you are light on cover. The basics of shelter are Under/ On and In. This also goes with comfort. I would add minimum drum liners to sleep on with debris. Also a SOL breathable bivy.

Comfort I would add some kind of croc sandles or something to air out the feet and them to breath. Another glasses cleaner cloth, aids in being able to see, always helpful.
For cutting maybe a multitool of somekind, Gerber I use, because I got it free, leatherman is also highly recommended.
I've never counted my c's before... But I have all of them except for cooking and a container I can boil water with. This is an excellent product and idea to separate and account for gear!
Following the two is one and one is none, I made sure I have both a biofuel stove and a canister stove. My choice is the Firebox Nano. I also carry a canister stove which is the Pocket Rocket 2. Literally just bought the solar charger on Amazon and they were on sale for about $10 off! Super sweet!
Holy cargo! One good fixed blade will do everything you need it to do imo, but to each there own!
Yes this I what I would have
You for got the most important "c" of all... Club sandwich... Just kidding, great vid man. I do think this is more of a "vehicle kit" though. I honestly don't think it would make it on more than two or three hikes before it started being left at home. Thanks for sharing!!
JT Survival Systems ha nice! Yeah this is not a kit to carry around
Lib sandwich and coffee...
great video. well thought out. you are the first person other than me that i know of to put a styptic pen in his first aid kit. great minds!
74 now my dad did that since I can remember and so do I been help with 4 boys over the years mostly fly fishing with 4 young ones learning to fly fish hooking the ears . now there all grown up with there own ear hookers. HAPPY TRAILS.
You might want a crank-generator, to recharge what you can, because a simple small waterwheel is not that difficult to make, nor is it something like a pedal-powered gearbox to power the crank with your feet. I would also include a flint-and-steel and a radio. And a small/tiny pump (powered by pistoning (push-pull, like the syringe), cranking or pedal-pressing), in case the water is not safe to drink, or even muddy.
Two thumbs up for adding the list of everything in your Bug Out Roll!
Well done video. Great info. Thank you.
I’ve found the wrap too expensive so have bought the elements separately with the same spec expect I’ve got a gortex outer layer with a large
Pocket to store tarp and also thinking of an plastic bit in the outer to store my cell phone and map. So got my sewing machine and attachments and saved about $50
I like the c method to remember what to have in your kit thanks
Awesome kit. It gives me more ideas. One C I must have is Coffee, cream,sugar. I hope to one day own the Canadian Preppers' bugout roll. I never get tired of seeing how people set there's up.
All in one kit in front of you, plain as day. God bless you
Thanks for watching - and coffee - yes!
Like all the things in your kit and i like the additional c's you added. Would like to see a vid with you setting up camp and using all the gear.
I'd love to - just got to make the time!
calories, dried fruits, nuts, jerky, mres, trail mix, or gorp, power bars, coffee, tea, bullion cubes, soup mix packets, hot chocolate, powdered milk, sugar packs, oat meal packs, all light weight an quick food source that you can add forage goods to or improve the taste of.
Tim great job with the review. The Canadian Prepper is great channel. The survival roll is awesome idea small and portable. Take care and stay safe my friend.
Thanks James - and agree - this is a great product!
Excellent kit. Following the "C" pattern really helps.
The Bear Bowl reminds me of some Orikaso dishware I bought more than 10 years ago. I still have them but have not used them much. Since they weren't designed to be cooked on, just dishware. Love the Bug Out Roll man. Hope to get one some day.
Great video my friend. It is very comprehensive. I don't believe you missed anything. Thanks for sharing. Take care and be safe out there.
Awesome BOR organizer. Nice loadout and info.
Survival Mindset agreed - the BOR is beast.
I love your custom kit videos they are so informative and interesting. Thanks
Coffee!!!! So important haha.....but I would also put wool socks under clothing where I live the winter is harsh and wool socks are amazing to have.....great vid you have influenced me so much and helped me be prepared I appreciate it...thanks !!
Cool that you are building off Dave C.'s list. I build my packs on a 15-C list too. Some variations from yours: Cutting, Combustion, Cover, Container, Cordage we match up pretty close (I list my poncho under "Cover". I veer off a little (different organization) from there. In candling, I include a UCO lantern with citronella candles for mosquitoes. In the cotton area, I include gloves, hat, clothing change. Rather than Compass, I call the next area Comms/Navigation, and include compass, map, pen/paper, phone charger, radio, whistle, mirror, binocs and cash. I include the sewing kit with the Canvas needle. Then on to Clean, Care, Consumables -- pretty much where you are. Since most of your comfort category is addressed elsewhere, I have two final categories: Control and Carrier. Control includes bear spray, weapons, trip wire and alarms, and walking stick or trekking poles. The Carrier category inventories all the bags, pouches and whatnot (i.e. dump pouches, drum liners, dry bags, sustainment pouches). I have everything inventoried twice - a master list by "C's", and a locator list (i.e. left side, lower pouch contains . . . .). The inventory is in a ziplock, in the upper, outer pouch, and tells you instantly what you have and where it is.
Love your vids, keep it up!
Thanks for this Tim - good thoughts and additions that I may have to add.
Nice work. Thanks
Cool pack, few items I hadn’t seen or heard of before. I would also consider adding a small bottle of dish soap and more importantly, hand sanitizer. The hand sanitizer is versatile for cleaning and fire starting (alcohol content.) when you get to rotating your supplies, you might want to consider getting bacitracin with zinc instead. We use it in the hospitals now. Great vid! 😃💗
Thanks for watching and for the comments too.
I did the same mistake as you and had wayyyyy too many repeats. I believe we (you, me and the people commenting) all have a hard time distinguishing the line between a bugout bag from a survival bag, a bushcrafting bag, a hiking bag and a weekend bag. This one is definitely a bugout bag, but with too many long-term options and repeats in gear (not to mention the super excessive sewing kits) for the length of time it will keep you alive. Harsh, but true.
I myself am learning as I practice that I carry way too much survival gear, too many options for similar tasks, too much gear I even forget I carry, and not enough apparel (I just call it cover). A water proof jacket, hat and extra socks (+ 1 pair underwear for god's sake! Just call it extra char cloth material when you change it.) should really be mentioned in the original 10 C's list, but Canterbury calls it more like EDC.
You seem to collect a lot of cool gear. I did that too, but for some reason I started feeling bad that most of it wasn't used at all. Instead, I started multiplying my hobbies, but try to stick to just enough stuff that it all gets to see some usage. Once a year. Mostly...
Small bottle castile soap (very versatile and earth friendly.
Like the video. 5 extra c's Carry, cash, calorie, caffeine, communication. I would recommend getting some dirt time with your kit will help refine it a great deal. Include urban settings, montains, woods, water and sea shore. Potassium permanganate is cool kit very useful also look into SF P.A.C.E planning it refines your kit better then 2 is 1 & 1 is none.
I failed math in school, but isn’t that 6 new “c’s”?
Care
Cleaning
Cooking
Clothing
Communication
Comfort
Still a nice video.
I was thinking the something. I just figured he felt generous, gave us a free one, no additional cost.
7...Calculator
I will follow Dave's 10c's and depending on my length im staying out i will add a couple comfort items.. this is over kill..
Many won’t know but really you don’t need anything but your brain for survival.
I love the organization. When you're adrenaline starts pumping and your looking for that 1 item, it's nice to trust your organization vs your memory. I would add socks to clothing / ranger-roll. It's socks, skivvies, and a t-shirt all rolled up. Love your vids!
Thanks Tyler - and agreed - sock especially are a HUGE win - gotta add those.
On cutting tools, I carry the outdoor saw with multiple blades. An Esee 6 knife, a Morakniv pathfinder, now is a full tang,, handle broke so I cut the rat tail off and made it a full tang now.
Plus I carry a HB forester Ax.
The leatherman you showed is a good one. However I prefer the wave.
Shelters: It is very expensive, but I got my tarp from a company called Zpack out of fl.
Total weight of my tarp= 7oz.
My prefered bag of choice is the 5.11 covt 18 tactical backpack that is converted to bushcraft.
If anyone want to see my pack.
Videos are up on FB. Same name as here.
As one that does a lot of solo survival bushcraft, I would say that the product here would be something for many to think about for organization.
Myself personally, I carry only a quart bag of freeze dried pinto beans. This is all the food I carry for a 14 day solo survival.
Oh, Hi... I'm Jämí
Dave C. Came up with an interesting mnemonic device which is actually hard to remember and fails to include some basic survival items such signal devices but includes quirky items like duct tape and a canvas needle. They're useful but very debatable if required in actual survival. Remember he sells a course and the ten cs are needed for the class. He's not wrong but those items are part of a specific style and skill set.
I’d be tempted to throw in two or three bladders from wine casks and maybe some string bags or nets to hang them in cos they are light and strong and can be good for storing extra water while you are not on the move.
Also a crystal radio could be good as you don’t need batteries or maintenance and it’s negligible weight.
Love the Bug Out Roll but because it's relatively large, I would like to see options for carrying hands free like an attachable shoulder strap and/or backpack straps. The AMP-3 Medical Roll has that capability but unfortunately the company doesn't offer an option to get the bag by itself. You have to get the bag with all the medical components. In the past it was $270 but now it's $410. I suppose I could just MacGyver some straps onto the Bug Out Roll. Love how modular it is and offered at a fair price of around $130.
Very complete kit. I really like the way you have your gear compartmentalized. Great organization. One "C" that you probably won't need in the woods, but it is a good thing for a BOB is CASH. Always good to have small bills when the ATM's go down. Can't think of a C word for these, but what about Prescription Meds if you need them? Spare glasses if needed? Sunglasses? Might fit in the Comfort C. A small radio so you know what is happening in a Bug Out scenario?
You can figure out what "C" to put these items under. Toothbrush, Deck of cards, 2 packs of wipes, Light Sticks, Hand Warmers, Deodorant, Soap, Hotel Packets of Shampoo, Handgun/Ammo, Super Glue (Can use in lieu of stitches), Comb, Pony Tail Holders, UNDERWEAR,. IDK, you are pretty comprehensive in your thought process. Good job, I saw a few things I didn't have in my bug out bags. I think I will have to repack mine. I have too many medical things.
To many repeats of the same gear, like knives, lights, etc you cannot pack all this very far, this is really a truck set of gear. I have bug out bag that weighs 17 pounds and the quart of water is in that 17 lbs. I have things like spare glasses, medication, decent size first aid, gloves, hat, bug spray, light & extra batteries, bug spray, clean under shorts, small pot, 3 days of food, coffee, cordage, water purification, small saw, fish kit, this weight has my sheath knife and pocket knife in it the pack. So I feel I am on the heavy side pack and all is 17 lbs.
Very thorough and informative video. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the great work. Take care and be safe.
Thanks!
Like the kit the bug out bag he makes looks nice but really exspensive at least for my budget
+Barry Bueler totally. This is definitely something to be built over many years.
Barry Bueler one way to do it that I found works is think what you use most to least and start there adding as you can. Like for instance dollar store candles, sewing kits, lighters all daily items that you can buy really cheap. Knives saws thats stuff you wont use day to day for the most part so you don't need to run out and buy a $100 knife because it looks cool I have a $20 boot knife that I have had for like 20 years and it is still one I carry. The big thing is don't get drawn into the whole if it's expensive then I need because it's good game. Lots of my gear is either from military stores or grage sales like my carrying gear. My other items are things I have from years ago, things like extra clothing you already have. In the Army we packed what we needed not what we wanted, it's something I still do. If you really cant think of what you should get drop me a line I will have no issue helping you out.
If you want to save a lot of money. The bug out roll is pretty much a rebranded fishing roll bag... can get it for under $20.
As a practical suggestion, i prefer a belt knife that will inter-lock with it's hard sheath to create a fence cutter
You actually had 6 additional C's - I have the same additional C's though: Care, Communication, Cleaning, Cooking & Comfort - you also added Clothing which I use in place of the cotton bandanna item in the middle 5, where the bandanna is the 1st item in that category for me - cool we had the same things though!
Very good and helpful video!!!
Regardless of the comments keep pushing!
Another thing about the product is that it doesn’t have to go in the bag as it the perfect size for the straps for tents and stuff
Awesome!!!
im a big fan off adding more Calories as a rule, youre not always gonna be able to snare or fish or hunt especially if its a situation you have to be mobile like a get home or migration situation and a handful of premade or simple to make meals can really keep morale and energy up. i really like the bridgeford sandwiches as an eat while moving option, as well as a datrex\lifeboat food bar for the last ditch food if everything else fails. Collection is another C i advocate, any small belt mountable or compressible container for foraging tinder materials, foods, or even usable found objects that you may want separate from your main pack or are too small and loose to store in your bag. the last C i see a lot of people leave out is Comfortable Sleeping, especially for a mid to long term use, having a sleeping pad or mat and a good blanket or sleeping system\bag can really help get you more comfortable and more rested in an already stressful situation.
Very useful introduction
thanks!
pretty fancy how much does it weigh is the main question with all the goodies in it
Maybe for your communications some type of radio for weather or just coms ie. baofang radio or whatever
Yes - nice addition.
Good Video, Thanks, it got me thinking
Camp cuisine...cheese, crackers, cookies, candies and cup o' cheer! Any cheer will do, but I like cactus juice cheer...Tequila...

I like your bug out kit. Now here is a suggestion. Have the ability to recharge your candle (lights) with either sun or hand cranked. Also, for your primary items, make sure to go with things that are NOT expendable items. If it is for a 72 hr pack, your pack is perfect. If it is for a long term survival need, then go tool heavy. People make a lot of mistakes of putting things that do not last very long in their bags. This increased weight and thus burn more calories for little in return for survival benefit. Your items are great though. I have written them down and I will work on my kit with your suggestions.
Great video!! I would add AM/FM/short wave/NOAA radio and/or walkie-talkie/HAM radio to keep connected to what is happening in your area. What are your thoughts about the Iunio folding shovel and axe? They seem to add a lot of tools in a compact space - freeing up space to other items.
I want to get a red one for use as a large group med kit and to just organize my supplies, I would add "camp security" like protection from freeloading animals or the occasional unwanted visitor who may want to crash your party
HELL Yeah Gloves , toilet paper + I seriously bring a pop up enclosure for privacy with a bucket & a salvaged toilet seat . everyone laughed -- then over time - everyone used it . + Grocery bags to swap out after each person used it .
I would add some yoyo automatic fishing reels.
Those are heavy.. Just find some plastic water bottles and tie a good length of line around the middle ( tie it tight ) of the bottle, and then fix your line up with hook and bait and go find a stick about knee high and wind up your line a couple of passes around the bottle turn the bottle upside down on the stick you pushed down in the bank near the water. When the fish takes the bait they will run with it. When they run out of line it grabs them and they get hooked. The bottle doesn't come off the stick. This is not my idea I seen it on a video on youtube.
How many fires do you need to light? You could have fit 20 or 30 bic lighters in that space. That would last at least a couple of years
My advice for everyone is to write your "BLOOD GROUP" (A+, B-, O+....) on your backpack or somewhere it can quickly and easily be seen .. ). Something i learnt while in the army in case of a life threatening situation ..
Tim, you forgot an important "C" - coffee😉
What's the weight?
Thanks for adding a list of links to every item mentioned. I wish some of the links would be to eBay instead of Amazon, which uses PayPal if you don't have a credit card, which is more convenient to many of us who have ditched credit card use. Great video!
Thanks or watching Claudia - and good idea about EBay in the future.
Aaaand... is that bug out roll like 40 pounds?
Yeah - purpose not for long distance carry for sure.
I guess you could keep it in your vehicle then pull your carry kit from it depending on what you need at the time?
Comprehensive kit... nice vid, keep up the good work!
Thanks krom432
would have been VERY useful to see that fully packed "Bug Out Roll" _actually rolled up and hanging off your shoulder_ .
There are several of you out there that noticed this intentional omission and have the street smarts to infer the reason.
A lot of nice gear bro, but you might want to keep the IFAK, blood stop (etc) immediately accessible in a belt pouch or other quick-access location.
Kudos for adding them to your kit, but If you ever need those critical items ... you need them yesterday. Just saying. :) Edit - new sub
Also, eye protection is important.
you need to invest in solar cell battery chargers for lights and as well as solar lights for your camp need to keep power at night .lol ok you have ok.... lol good job well done stay safe .
