Nothing says "discreet" like a giant, blood red bag with the words "Survival Kit" on it. It might as well say "Once SHTF happens please kill me quickly and take the items in this bag".
in my experience if a military officer says "you don't need a bug out bag" then you need a bug out bag. in reality if they say anything just do the opposite and you will be better off.
I know, right?! Keep in mind, he is claiming to be an officer,("Why This Military Officer Says...") but was a 3rd class petty officer. basically a Navy version of an NCO. When I was an NCO and then a SNCO in the USMC, I would've curb stomped someone for calling me an 'officer', then again, I worked for my paycheck!
It seems to me that he was simply being helpful & honest, vs. having a biggest di** contest. You see, not all of us are searching for di*s, but I wish you well on your meat-minded endeavours.
XArmyMP I can tell you served...I was in the Navy and the Captain would listen to the men before the officers if the SHTF , Cause it was us in the Shit.
Yep, that "Oh S.N.A.P.!" kit would be great for the office when the vending machine takes my money and jams up or I get one of those wicked paper cuts! Is there room for a cuticle file and a selfie stick in it?? I love how you decorated the outside with carabiners, cute! (Pssst, you're gonna' die in a shtf situation with that bag) LOL!
Misleading...he's NOT an "officer." Keep your bug-out bag depending on your area and environment. Each person is gonna have different needs compared to another.
+xerroh Hey, thanks for taking the man-love time to read "ALL" of my comments. Much appreciated. As a RUclipsr, and understanding the comment structure, I empathize with you, as it must have been ultra difficult to simultaneously read my comments (you said you read them all) & also pleasure yourself. But... Hey, man. Gold medal for doing weird shit. You win.
The video is about a real world bag. You are not carrying a bug out bag everywhere. I carry a medical bag in the car and try to keep it close at all times. And I have other emergency items as well. Car accidents, forrest/bush fires, flooding and just plain old fashion antifa type disorder can occur.
You say S.N.A.P. stands for "Situation not as planned." If it's not as planned, then why do you have everything you *PLAN* to use on a *PLANNED* schedule? A prepper prepares for the unexpected and DOES NOT wear a fanny pack.
People in the real world when working use things like that all the time. People do wear tool belts and all manner of things. Preppers do not carry their big massive 120 pound bag to the local store?
@@bighands69 you are litterlay everywhere reacting to everyone but i can guarantee you that this bag will not save you in an robery, earthquake, tsunami, terrorist attack, car faillure, forestfire, housefire, civil unrest, or when peacefull protestors will come knocking on your door. it just misses too many basic fundamentals. i carried all those things on me before i even considdered prepping. the bag is not a snap bag its just a workingbag which you use at work. if snap ever happens the bag will not proof usefull in any situation but an ordinary working day. if you are prepping for a situation which was not planned then the bag can not be small as there are too many variables which will not fit in the bag. and btw an orfinary backpack doesnt look suspicious at all. and the weight depends on what YOU yhink YOU will need to survive an not planned situation.
Petty Officer is low rank Enlisted. Not an actual officer. That 'power source' is called 'Jumpr,' for those of us who actually watched this video to be informed. Next time, don't have someone who 'doesn't want everyone to know what's inside [his] bag' host a video telling us what to put in our bag. Lastly, the title is misleading, requiring 'Heavy' before 'Bug-Out' to be more precise.
+Steve S E1 is a trainee, and E2 is just out of training, but before being judged competent as a soldier. E3, PFC in the army, means you understand HOW to do your job as a basic soldier. I'm sure the other services have similar ranks and qualifications.
Bicycle gloves for protection? Not in my bag! I want some real gloves! And why 3 knives if your motto is "less is more"?Nothing to eat and nothing to make fire with? Acually, i Think this was the worst snap-bag i ever seen anyone recommend to other people! So incomplete that i wonder why you did this video? And you talk so fast that you nearly gave me an headache by try to catch up everything you said!
@@matthewriffe5244 Why not? It is a real world bag that the guy uses every day. Most people would have nothing even close to that for everyday use. Too many people here have stupid ideas about a zombie apocalypse.
Good thought... but that's why you have 3 tier. Every Day Carry (EDC): Pockets, belt, "fanny"; Sling bag: Small bag (ex: messanger bag) at work or car to get you home or to your BOB; Bug Out Bag (BOB): 72hr Kit, Traditional Backpack at home or safe place to get you further from danger. Just saying. I like the acronym. Keep it coming.
Acronyms? From small to large. ICE = In Case of Emergency. EDC = Every Day Carry SNAP = Situation Not As Planned BIB = Bug In Bag BOB = Bug Out Bag. ( Please modify as you see fit )
Having served in the US Navy myself, USS John F Kennedy CV-67, I can say this... Petty Officer 3rd class is simply E-4. Its the lowest of NCO in the Navy, and it means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of survival training/knowledge. He probably got E-4 directily out of A school, which he would have gone to directly out of boot camp. NOT IMPRESSED... His bag is for shit... While I can say that a fanny pack is a nice little bag to supplement your system with, its not an end all be all. It does work really well for a SMALL EDC bag. Now, lets check the list, shall we? Air--nothing in his bag to protect him from smoke or any other bad inhalents. shelter--nothing at all for shelter in his bag water--a drinking bottle that will last half a day, and no way to replenish his supply, no water purification at all in this bag. food--nothing at all... fire--MAYBE he could use his power source jumper cable combo to make a spark, MAYBE.... But he has his cell phone so that he can call his mommy........ This kind of video is irresponsible and could get someone killed.
this guys obviously is a government drone lol, i dont think he thinks wrol will ever happen, maybe just a mass "inconvenience" like a 3 day power outage or natural disaster
Nahh.. I do think he made third right off boot camp or A school; He looks too old for that. Or unless he joined when he was 27 yo. Lmao! He's probably thinking bugging out with his vehicle that has everything in it (water source, ignition, food, first aid, etc.) Well I hope he is. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.
this is a purse. i bring my bug out bag with me every time i get in the car. dont see why you wouldnt be able to do the same thing and then have your little purse as a walking around bag like it really is. this bag in this configuration wont help me in a Situation Not As Planned unless im already dead, or my battery in my car dies. beyond that theres no shelter, not even a cheapo tarp from the dollar store. you're not ready to bug out. you're not even ready to get home. you're just ready to charge your phone....
Yeah, best way to say it. That's not much more than a man-purse. Its not something you could live out of in a pinch or while travelling unless you are making heavy use of the credit card. Works for government funded officers in a more or less intact society, might not be very functional in a SHTF environment.
8digitPDX like, i get the point he was trying to make in that most people dont or wont need to bug out and a phone charger and some gum should be enough for them, but i dont have two pairs of danners and 4 boot knives because i want to go line dancing with becky. im ready to react at all times and this bag simply isnt doing ANYTHING for me. the most useful part is the bag itself which i could use to find real supplies and bring them back to base.
Edwin Meyer Nah, it is entirely possible to shelter in place in urban areas, history has proven that in California from the Loma Prieta earthquake to the LA Riots and beyond.
8 лет назад+1
8digitPDX Those were "short term" disasters... with a populace that understood that things would "return to normal" within a reasonable span of time. You could still go to a store and buy goods, You had a reasonable expectation that , even if your utilities were temporarily off, service would return. You could grab your phone and get immediate answers.... The scenario of which I am referring has none of these circumstances in play.
Alrighty guys! drop your guns, lifestraw, and anything useful, and pick up one of these C.R.A.P. (car repair apple power) bags! could be yours now! for the low discounted price of your life in a dire situation! Need heavy duty gloves for picking up hot sharp metal? well youd have better luck with your shirt as a glove! But at least you wont hurt your eyes on the bright light of the fire because you brought your sunglasses, so as your standing there, all cut up and almost dead, remember, oh C.R.A.P
+Daniel Tomicich Now back to the real world Daniel. People do not carry massive bail out bags everywhere they go. So can you stop pretending that they do.
Fanny packs always gets attention, always. I carry a backpack. Kids, college kids, and homeless people carry backpacks. I would fit right in, and if I followed your advice I would probably be noticed a lot more, something you definitely do not want.
A "Get Home Bag" is what you're reinventing here Skippy. One notch above a EDC. A BOB needs to be complete and comprehensive because the duration is unknown and the destination is anything but immediate.
This is fine for general emergency preparedness, as in NOAA, AAA, type scenarios. Pretty much an EDC minus anything that will actually help. No first aid? Thank goodness you have the cell phone. You'll need to stay "on" the grid for sure. No offence.
Backpacks are more practical and they give you more firepower (more capabilities) which is what you want in a survival situation. I will carry a little extra weight so I have more options (more resources) and most people can go up to 25% of their body weight with a pack as long as they are in reasonable shape. As a grunt, I would regularly carry over 120lbs of gear and I could still move across a large distance in a short time. Even though I've been out for a couple of years, I'm still in reasonable shape and I can carry a 50lb pack which is a quarter of my body weight quite easily.
Here's a thought, with the recent evacuation of Edmonton, those with bug out bags found that... 1, have clothing for all types of weather. 2. Cash, not cards 3. If you think you have enough water, think again. 4. Pop up shelter especially if you have a family. 5. Enough food for the family for a week. 6. No one plans to have to leave their home in a moments notice, but you need a place to go, as the forest and city are on fire(the I'm going to bug out into the woods doesn't work). Think ahead of a safe destination. 7. Have spare fuel to get you to where you need to go. Entire city needing fuel the same hour tends to be a hell. 8. Fire ban, so your Ferro rod and multiple fire starting kits are useless. Small portable camp stoves. 9. Water purification systems turned out to be very important. 10. Make sure you have a fire extinguisher in your vehicle.
Ridiculous! Your situation would definitely not be as planned. Unless of course a Grease the musical style knife fight breaks out, then you'd be covered. You: " everybody called me crazy, now who's laughin' huh, now who's laughin' ".
In the real world people do not carry massive 120 pound bags into the store or on a trip down the road in the car. When on the farm I carry small bags when out and about. Carpenters, gardeners, doctors and so on will carry different types of bags. My vehicles will have different bags for different times of the year. My winter bag is much different from summer and so on.
"I just don't want alot of people to know what I carry in my Bug Out Bag." Roger that! The very same reason that I'll never be posting a video about it.
***** I guarantee, if you try to walk out of a major city in a SHTF scenario, you will be dead within 72 hours. At the very least, you should have a motorcycle. If you have a car, you better have someplace safe and stocked to go, or you will not be much better off than those hoofing it.
+Edwin Meyer Shit Edwin, can you read your own words? My whole point was..."an officer." You said, "low officer." Did I say high officer? No. Let. Me. Spell. It. Out. For. You. "O.f.fi.cer." Got it, Edwin?? Christ! The thing is, none of his video was really about that-- it was about helping people. Ever helped people, "Edwin" I doubt it, you're a lazy ass couch judge, never even been in a fight. Would RUN your ass. If I am wrong, post YOUR helpful video, and I shall do the same. Do NOT copy/use someone elses video, Anonymous kmows.
You think ten percent of your body weight is too much? That's just weird. My boots weigh that much. Ten percent is not a bug out bag, it's a day trip bag. Have you ever actually lived in the wilderness?
+James Ritchie Check out the Pacific Crest Trail hiker videos. They spend months living out of a pack, and I doubt that you will find a 50 pound pack with any of them, and mighty few 40s.
+tom jackson EXACTLY! Appalachian Trail hikers spend weeks living out of their bags. 30lb MAX!! I always laugh when folks say their bag is 50, 60+lbs. You're gonna' DIE trying to hump that weight! (been there, done that)
I've made a small cooler pack for each car in case we get stranded. But I also have a empty backpack they can throw just what they need in there. I have a small wool throw, gloves,hat, a fold up shovel 3 ft long when extended, water, cliff bars, lighter, water proof matches, tin cup, canned soup, oil can with wick to heat up soup or help with fire starting. I did forget the knife (so important) and ziplocks bag (also important) noone would carry all of this but to be Able to choose what you do need according to your situation and distance from home is a blessing.
Watch mojo should make a top ten list of the most dissed RUclips survival vidiographers. This poor guy would definitely make the list. One big positive: he stepped up and made and posted a video.
Those people in the stadium after hurricane katrina, who waited nearly 5 days for any emergency services, would have found a bug out bag useful. It doesn't have to be huge or too heavy, just prioritize. An (EDC) and a (BOB) have different purposes.
I guess I was wrong, but I thought a bug-out bag was something you had prepared for an emergency, that you had stashed at your house or maybe kept in your car. You wouldn't be carrying your bug-out bag with you at all times, so I don't get why the video is titled that way, especially considering what your "SNAP" bag consists of, which is EDC type stuff.
One thing a little bag like this can REALLY use it a small EDC and/or survival tin. I just made one with 30 things I actually use and it easily fits in my pocket.
That tiny battery cannot jump start a car. You need something with more juice to do that. I liked this, but your SNAP bag is actually an EDC (Every Day Carry) Which I agree, more people should carry. But if you're bugging out, you'll probably want to bring more than can fit in a "man purse" :') [edit] Also, the strap on that shoulder bag shown at the beginning looks like it would be intensely uncomfortable to haul around for more than a minute or two. A sturdy backpack with two straps, rather than the duffel, might be better since it would keep the weight closer to the center of gravity on your body and distribute the weight of the bag more.
Gloves? cell phone? battery pack? Heck where is your flat screen and satellite dish? No food, no change of clothes, no first aid kit, but you can surf the web on your smart phone LOL.
your snap bag is just like my hand bag mate. i am a mother of four boys and i carry all that and sooo much more in my handbag and have done for years. so now i can call it my snap bag, or even my bug out bag. i have a little laugh to myself, i have been lugging all that stuff around whenever we go anywhere and didnt even know i was prepping. nice video. and i dont think your rank is important, like all the comments are talking about, its the message you are trying to get across to us that is important. take care and be safe
the best snap bag to carry, is a gym bag that says Gold's Gym or something on the side of it so that it doesn't bring any attention to yourself as you're walking along.
Pulled out fingerless gloves and I scoffed. Pulled out a 440c Bear Grills knife as a "really good knife" and I almost stopped watching. Your "SNAP" bag is literally less equipped than my EDC (Every Day Carry). And either shave that crap off your face or drop the rank.
people please dont listen to amything this little girl has to say about carrying around a hello kitty day pack. if you want to stay alive on foot you must come to the realization that you must carry stuff. on that note carry a bag that holds twice what you have in case you have to put something in it that youuuuuu will need. besides the weight of your bag might drop anyway due to use of items.
Depending On the situation your mobile phone will be dead, even if its fully charged it will make a good paper weight. Mobile phones require someone to maintain the networks. Also governments will shut down all personal phone so that the networks clear for strategic use in the early days. Or even its its regional the network towers could have been destroyed.
not sure where you you live you need cold weather gear i live in wisconsin its cold hear i have found out a good pair of insolated boots 900 grams minimum and a pair or six dollar wool swiss army gaiters and you can walk through anything you can also add a cheap pair thermal under ware a heavy winter coat and good gloves and a full face stocking cap if your car breaks down you can walk and get help even in sub zero temps i have found out if you have it and dont need it your ok BUT IF YOU DONT HAVE IT AND NEED IT YOUR SCREWED THE BITER COLD WILL KILL YOU FASTER THAN ANYTHING I KNOW AND YOUR VEHICAL ALSO -40 STEEL GETS BRIDLE AND WILL BREAK
I live above the baltic sea, i can not imagine suriving the winter in anything less than a large kota en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavvu#/media/File:Sami_Tent_in_Jukkasjarvi.jpg My winter clothes are very heavy, even without my tools
ok you know about the cold i see so many preppers not preparing for cold weather if they have to leave there warm pocket of the country the cold is going to kill them
***** that i would pay money to see 45 below zero no block heater a good cold soak for 24 hours what do you have a bunch of batterys wired to gether to make one monster battery
A bug out bag is not a purse for everyday use. A bug out bag is something you keep in your house or car for when the shit hits the fan. The snap bag is fine for everyday but it can’t replace a bug out bag.
First you are a "Petty Officer 3rd Class" not an Officer. Glad you say it is a SNAP not Bug out. Due to no Phone with a Bug out bag. Good bag for the Car, or just for that problem but not for "Off the Grid". What type of PO3? Sound like HM3 with some items / ways you said thengs. I was USN/USMC HMC, later made LT. Need to change the Title of the video. Most people think Officers know more, but NCO's train the Officers. The only thing I liked as a Officer was the paycheck.
If you want to know what to carry to get from point A to point B, ask a thru-hiker. If you want to survive a doomsday scenario, learn from the homeless.
Ugh... i have a 55 L bug out bag and its 15 kilos , and i think its a struggle to just have on my back at home in the house, yet alone walk miles with it.... dunno what to do :( it would easy go up 3-4 more kilos when i add extra clothing to it and fill up the 2 water bladders i have.
Not to throw any shade. As a former US MARINE your BUG OUT bag is too small. Not carrying the right stuff. A pencil and paper won't be in my BUG OUT bag. FOOD, water, a pistol and ammunition are at the top of my list for my BUG OUT bag.
Seems to me that what your talking about in this video is an edc bag. Every Day Carry These usually are a much smaller version on the larger BoB. They are usually packed with a small amount of medical supplies, some light calorie and protein bars, a small fire making kit, some rain gear, and water. Of course these things can and probably will differ depending on where your located. Just my two sense.
What he is describing is a short distance get home bag. This guy is on the right path if you commute 5-10 maybe 20 miles a day and your in a generally suburban environment. I drive on a regular basis 130 miles and much of it is semi-rural. Your bag should suit the gravest situation that you could be in. If i took that little pee-dunk bag on one of my trips (especially in the winter) and say a EMP/Solar Flare (I know far fetch but not impossible) good chance me an my family die before we make it home. Always bring a few pair of good socks, not cheap cotton, and keep a great pair of walking/hiking shoes, a weeks worth of medications if you need them, etc... Its really about thinking and planning to encounter the most likely situation in a worse case scenario. It usually takes several days before people start turning into stark raving evil lunatics...But don't count on it. Think of Katrina/Rita. The country folks tend to be very cordial and helpful, Urban environments tend to turn into no go zones pretty fast. (1) Cutting Tool: Ultimately, this means a sturdy, full-tang survival knife-something that should always be on your person . A design with a four to five-inch carbon-steel blade and a flattened back edge is typically the most dependable and versatile. Well-made survival knives allow you to do everything from clean fish to split kindling. (2) Combustion: Being able to spark a fire is critical in a survival situation. In inclement weather, it’s the first order of business-fundamental to maintaining your core temperature. With at least 2 alternatives plus dry tinder in a bag or maybe cotton balls soaked in Vaseline, (3) Cover: A common mistake committed by plenty of people is neglecting to include an emergency shelter in their bag. You need the ability to quickly erect a precipitation and cold-resistant covering to keep you dry and warm in the event of an unforeseen night out in the backwoods. A poncho, wool blanket, tarp, or even a plastic garbage bag will serve you well. (4) Container: An ideal container for wilderness use is a 32-oz. stainless-steel water bottle. Staying hydrated is fundamental in an emergency, and you want a durable vessel for storing and carrying water. The high-quality metal additionally allows you to boil water-or melt snow-to render it safe to drink: I would also recommend a Sawyer or Katadyn Water filter, or even a life straw (they don't tell you but you need to let the inlet side soak in the water about ten minutes before drinking the first time to prime the filter element (5) Cordage: Sure, you can fashion rope from plant materials in the backcountry-but why expend that time and effort if you don’t need to? Carry a good 100 feet of 550 cord, which can assist in a dizzying array of tasks.
Theres already a name for this sort of stuff, EDC, EveryDay Carry. Because I for one do not specificlly need to get a "snap bag" to include my phone, because I carry my phone everyday in my pocket anyway.
Good idea to get to your car where your real get home bag is. I'm more a bug in kind of person but you got to get home first to do that. Then at home have bug out bags for when you can no longer bug in.
A more useful item to have is a Day Pack ! A Day Pack with "The Ten Essentials" by the Seattle Mountaineers will keep you safe overnight and bring you home safe the next day. A Day Pack is needed for all or any short Day Hike (or trip) ! A French couple took a short Day Hike at WSNM in the sand dunes and only the baby infant survived. My EDC starts with my 5.11 Tactical pant that carries the Fenix PD35 LED Flashlight and the SOG Trident in Black TiNi with the seatbelt cutter. The SOG tool does not need to be open to be useful... The tool is great for to bash a zombie or cut twine on bales of hay with the seatbelt cutter ! Take only photos, leave only footprints and kill only time ! tjl
Ok, you got some hate from what i see in the comments. i can understand why, But heres something to remind everyone, A bug out bag ideally is to get you from point A to point B, My point B is about 15 miles away. so i dont really need to carry a whole lot, Hell, i dont think ill be not able to drive to my location. EMP you say? Its called Horses. Of which i have at my point B. And in any case one of my more expensive pieces of bugout gear would be a HMMVW, A real one, Not a hummer. So, Eliminates that problem. Flat tires? Spares. No Electric? generator/vehicle/do without. No Phone? radio, No radio? tell in person.
My 8year old daughter has what i think is the basic. maybe it could help you out to know her hello kitty bag has a berkey bottle,2mre,level 1,2,3 med kit, fire steel,bic lighter,cold steel voyager,Mylar blanket,nitecore p12,pocket solar charger..a Fannie pack I just don't think it's that incognito I have a maxpedition pygmy falcon2 as a diaper bag for my 2year old boy it's about 15pounds man up your in the military you have carried heavy bags before💪😀
It doesn't matter what rank a person is in the military. Using rank in order to give or take away credit is not only immature to say the least, but completely idiotic. Regardless of rank, he has experience.
...I am FORMER MILITARY INTELLIGENCE( 35M INTERROGATOR), so let me define what an OFFICER is: a Petty Officer is the lowest rank of NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER...equivalent to an Army CORPORAL...and are skilled PROFESSIONALS and IMMEDIATE SUPERVISORS, that provide LOWER LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT...COMMISSIONED OFFICERS (1 LT, CPT, MAJ, LTC, COL, BG, MG, LTG, GEN, GA) ...must possess a BACHELOR'S DEGREE to receive a COMMISSION (EITHER through WEST POINT, RESERVE OFFICER TRAINING CORPS, or OCS- Officer Candidate School) and provide UPPER LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT...a WARRANT OFFICER is an OFFICER designated by WARRANT (and are SPECIALIZED in a specific MOS, such as a WARRANT OFFICER INTERROGATOR - MOS designation would change from 35M to 351M and have a CURRENT TOP SECRET CLEARANCE based on SSBI)...ranking below COMMISSIONED OFFICERS and above NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS...THEREFORE, a PETTY OFFICER is a NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER...
if I got to bug out it will be for a shtf. It will require more than a small bag. I will keep a small bag for a car break down but if I have to get home on foot, I will need more to get home like tents and food plus more.
I bought an 11" black tool bag from Harbor freight...$7 bucks. Actually I have three of 'em for different purposes and very low brow, plane jane, incognito.

Nothing says "discreet" like a giant, blood red bag with the words "Survival Kit" on it. It might as well say "Once SHTF happens please kill me quickly and take the items in this bag".
Yep, you pretty much summed it up.
+MrApple Wait... people will notice that???
Clint Carpentier
I've put a GIANT decal on the back of my car that says "EXPENSIVE STUFF INSIDE". It's worked well so far. ;)
+MrApple Who in the world buys a bag that says "Survival Kit" on it? Lame
+BelligerentTruth
I don't know. My range bag has a label panel on the side that says "easy to steal, expensive stuff inside". ;)
in my experience if a military officer says "you don't need a bug out bag" then you need a bug out bag. in reality if they say anything just do the opposite and you will be better off.
I know, right?!
Keep in mind, he is claiming to be an officer,("Why This Military Officer Says...") but was a 3rd class petty officer. basically a Navy version of an NCO. When I was an NCO and then a SNCO in the USMC, I would've curb stomped someone for calling me an 'officer', then again, I worked for my paycheck!
Aaron Myers hahaha
It seems to me that he was simply being helpful & honest, vs. having a biggest di** contest. You see, not all of us are searching for di*s, but I wish you well on your meat-minded endeavours.
that's why when my LT said go left I immediately turned right and kept the convoy going. lol

Well that was highly philosophical. Please add more comments, so that we can all learn that 1+1 = 2.

The video is about a real world bag. You are not carrying a bug out bag everywhere. I carry a medical bag in the car and try to keep it close at all times. And I have other emergency items as well.
Car accidents, forrest/bush fires, flooding and just plain old fashion antifa type disorder can occur.
I gave up after he showed a 4 inch Gerber as really good knife with wood chopping capability.
CommanderX bwahahahahaha!
Too bad he said no such thing. He said "split and cut small wood"
Neither split nor cut are synonyms of chop.
You say S.N.A.P. stands for "Situation not as planned." If it's not as planned, then why do you have everything you *PLAN* to use on a *PLANNED* schedule? A prepper prepares for the unexpected and DOES NOT wear a fanny pack.
People in the real world when working use things like that all the time. People do wear tool belts and all manner of things.
Preppers do not carry their big massive 120 pound bag to the local store?
@@bighands69 you are litterlay everywhere reacting to everyone but i can guarantee you that this bag will not save you in an robery, earthquake, tsunami, terrorist attack, car faillure, forestfire, housefire, civil unrest, or when peacefull protestors will come knocking on your door.
it just misses too many basic fundamentals. i carried all those things on me before i even considdered prepping. the bag is not a snap bag its just a workingbag which you use at work. if snap ever happens the bag will not proof usefull in any situation but an ordinary working day.
if you are prepping for a situation which was not planned then the bag can not be small as there are too many variables which will not fit in the bag. and btw an orfinary backpack doesnt look suspicious at all. and the weight depends on what YOU yhink YOU will need to survive an not planned situation.
Absolutely! This guys snap is a joke!
My tip for you. Field test your bag for three days, see what works and what doesn't.
Petty Officer is low rank Enlisted. Not an actual officer. That 'power source' is called 'Jumpr,' for those of us who actually watched this video to be informed. Next time, don't have someone who 'doesn't want everyone to know what's inside [his] bag' host a video telling us what to put in our bag. Lastly, the title is misleading, requiring 'Heavy' before 'Bug-Out' to be more precise.

Petty Officer Third Class is E-4 mid-level enlisted not lower rank as E-1 through E-3.
+Steve S E1 is a trainee, and E2 is just out of training, but before being judged competent as a soldier. E3, PFC in the army, means you understand HOW to do your job as a basic soldier.
I'm sure the other services have similar ranks and qualifications.
e-4, unless a corporal is basic enlisted. corporal is only junior nco. big rank this guy. we should all stand at attention.
+Robert Majestic E4 is not NCO in the navy. Nice try though.
Bicycle gloves for protection? Not in my bag! I want some real gloves! And why 3 knives if your motto is "less is more"?Nothing to eat and nothing to make fire with? Acually, i Think this was the worst snap-bag i ever seen anyone recommend to other people! So incomplete that i wonder why you did this video? And you talk so fast that you nearly gave me an headache by try to catch up everything you said!
I completely agree with you if your gonna have a snap bag DONT follow this guide
@@matthewriffe5244
Why not?
It is a real world bag that the guy uses every day. Most people would have nothing even close to that for everyday use.
Too many people here have stupid ideas about a zombie apocalypse.
100% truth! This guy don’t know what he’s talking about!
Good thought... but that's why you have 3 tier.
Every Day Carry (EDC): Pockets, belt, "fanny";
Sling bag: Small bag (ex: messanger bag) at work or car to get you home or to your BOB;
Bug Out Bag (BOB): 72hr Kit, Traditional Backpack at home or safe place to get you further from danger.
Just saying. I like the acronym. Keep it coming.
Acronyms? From small to large.
ICE = In Case of Emergency.
EDC = Every Day Carry
SNAP = Situation Not As Planned
BIB = Bug In Bag
BOB = Bug Out Bag.
( Please modify as you see fit )
GOOD= Get Out Of Dodge
Jacqueline Acevedo GOOD day ASAP
i carry more than this in my back pocket.
"Officer" lol, he's Enlisted.
"Petty Offiicer 3rd Class" is an enlisted rank, not an officer
Having served in the US Navy myself, USS John F Kennedy CV-67, I can say this...
Petty Officer 3rd class is simply E-4. Its the lowest of NCO in the Navy, and it means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of survival training/knowledge. He probably got E-4 directily out of A school, which he would have gone to directly out of boot camp. NOT IMPRESSED...
His bag is for shit... While I can say that a fanny pack is a nice little bag to supplement your system with, its not an end all be all. It does work really well for a SMALL EDC bag.
Now, lets check the list, shall we?
Air--nothing in his bag to protect him from smoke or any other bad inhalents.
shelter--nothing at all for shelter in his bag
water--a drinking bottle that will last half a day, and no way to replenish his supply, no water purification at all in this bag.
food--nothing at all...
fire--MAYBE he could use his power source jumper cable combo to make a spark, MAYBE....
But he has his cell phone so that he can call his mommy........
This kind of video is irresponsible and could get someone killed.
HAHAHA omg! I love you, man...
this guys obviously is a government drone lol, i dont think he thinks wrol will ever happen, maybe just a mass "inconvenience" like a 3 day power outage or natural disaster
Nahh.. I do think he made third right off boot camp or A school; He looks too old for that. Or unless he joined when he was 27 yo. Lmao! He's probably thinking bugging out with his vehicle that has everything in it (water source, ignition, food, first aid, etc.) Well I hope he is. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.
this is a purse. i bring my bug out bag with me every time i get in the car. dont see why you wouldnt be able to do the same thing and then have your little purse as a walking around bag like it really is. this bag in this configuration wont help me in a Situation Not As Planned unless im already dead, or my battery in my car dies. beyond that theres no shelter, not even a cheapo tarp from the dollar store. you're not ready to bug out. you're not even ready to get home. you're just ready to charge your phone....
Truth be told
Yeah, best way to say it. That's not much more than a man-purse. Its not something you could live out of in a pinch or while travelling unless you are making heavy use of the credit card. Works for government funded officers in a more or less intact society, might not be very functional in a SHTF environment.
8digitPDX like, i get the point he was trying to make in that most people dont or wont need to bug out and a phone charger and some gum should be enough for them, but i dont have two pairs of danners and 4 boot knives because i want to go line dancing with becky. im ready to react at all times and this bag simply isnt doing ANYTHING for me. the most useful part is the bag itself which i could use to find real supplies and bring them back to base.
Edwin Meyer Nah, it is entirely possible to shelter in place in urban areas, history has proven that in California from the Loma Prieta earthquake to the LA Riots and beyond.
8digitPDX
Those were "short term" disasters... with a populace that understood that things would "return to normal" within a reasonable span of time. You could still go to a store and buy goods, You had a reasonable expectation that , even if your utilities were temporarily off, service would return. You could grab your phone and get immediate answers.... The scenario of which I am referring has none of these circumstances in play.
WOW this is very unhelpful. Hes like a tourist going traveling in a city. SNAP no thanks.
Alrighty guys! drop your guns, lifestraw, and anything useful, and pick up one of these C.R.A.P. (car repair apple power) bags! could be yours now! for the low discounted price of your life in a dire situation! Need heavy duty gloves for picking up hot sharp metal? well youd have better luck with your shirt as a glove! But at least you wont hurt your eyes on the bright light of the fire because you brought your sunglasses, so as your standing there, all cut up and almost dead, remember, oh C.R.A.P
That was dumb.
There's a monthly fee of your dignity as well.
+Daniel Tomicich
Now back to the real world Daniel. People do not carry massive bail out bags everywhere they go. So can you stop pretending that they do.
I work with SNAFU as my motto. Situation Normal All F+#*ked Up. It works every time for me.
Fanny packs always gets attention, always. I carry a backpack. Kids, college kids, and homeless people carry backpacks. I would fit right in, and if I followed your advice I would probably be noticed a lot more, something you definitely do not want.
Man these comments are popcorn worthy to be sure. lol
A "Get Home Bag" is what you're reinventing here Skippy. One notch above a EDC. A BOB needs to be complete and comprehensive because the duration is unknown and the destination is anything but immediate.
Wait you want me to get rid of my bug out bag which could save my life and others and instead carry this kind of bag... Not a chance
I never 'carry with myself' a Bear G. knife! What an expert. He said he could split wood, sure, pencils... or smaller.
"Can't tell you why I need a knife." As if he carries a knife for one reason and one reason only. Pretty stupid.
This is fine for general emergency preparedness, as in NOAA, AAA, type scenarios. Pretty much an EDC minus anything that will actually help. No first aid? Thank goodness you have the cell phone. You'll need to stay "on" the grid for sure. No offence.
That red bag can hold everything I own including my bug out bag...
Backpacks are more practical and they give you more firepower (more capabilities) which is what you want in a survival situation. I will carry a little extra weight so I have more options (more resources) and most people can go up to 25% of their body weight with a pack as long as they are in reasonable shape. As a grunt, I would regularly carry over 120lbs of gear and I could still move across a large distance in a short time. Even though I've been out for a couple of years, I'm still in reasonable shape and I can carry a 50lb pack which is a quarter of my body weight quite easily.
So would you wear you big massive back pack to the shop or store?
Doesn't know difference between bug out bag and EDC, garage from warehouse. Probably not a bunker from a hole in the ground either. I'm just sayin' .
He is not a "Military Officer", he is enlisted.
This guy is a moo!
Video should be titled "look what's in my purse"
Here's a thought, with the recent evacuation of Edmonton, those with bug out bags found that... 1, have clothing for all types of weather. 2. Cash, not cards 3. If you think you have enough water, think again. 4. Pop up shelter especially if you have a family. 5. Enough food for the family for a week. 6. No one plans to have to leave their home in a moments notice, but you need a place to go, as the forest and city are on fire(the I'm going to bug out into the woods doesn't work). Think ahead of a safe destination. 7. Have spare fuel to get you to where you need to go. Entire city needing fuel the same hour tends to be a hell. 8. Fire ban, so your Ferro rod and multiple fire starting kits are useless. Small portable camp stoves. 9. Water purification systems turned out to be very important. 10. Make sure you have a fire extinguisher in your vehicle.
Ridiculous! Your situation would definitely not be as planned. Unless of course a Grease the musical style knife fight breaks out, then you'd be covered. You: " everybody called me crazy, now who's laughin' huh, now who's laughin' ".
Not impressed with the man purse
In the real world people do not carry massive 120 pound bags into the store or on a trip down the road in the car.
When on the farm I carry small bags when out and about. Carpenters, gardeners, doctors and so on will carry different types of bags.
My vehicles will have different bags for different times of the year. My winter bag is much different from summer and so on.
LOL only an officer would suggest fingerless gloves like biking gloves often are to grasps hot or sharp surfaces
"I just don't want alot of people to know what I carry in my Bug Out Bag."
Roger that! The very same reason that I'll never be posting a video about it.
After all that, it's an EDC bag. Thanks though.
"What , no toilet paper" ? Good video !
this is basically a "mom that panics too much" bag
Other than if you are in a vehicle, if you have to resort to a BoB, you are already screwed.
copy that
***** I guarantee, if you try to walk out of a major city in a SHTF scenario, you will be dead within 72 hours. At the very least, you should have a motorcycle. If you have a car, you better have someplace safe and stocked to go, or you will not be much better off than those hoofing it.
Its called a snap bag because when you realise you don't have shit in your bag you snap.
Petty Officer 3rd Class is NOT an Officer
lol. I'm glad I'm I'm not I'm not the only one that saw this. I stopped paying attention after that.
+the oncoming storm lmao.. that was worth listening to for a laugh.. what a joke.
Don't be Petty!!! hahaha ;)
Well yes, it actually is. I'm not sure what issue of Vogue you are referencing for knowledge, but maybe reload your magazine.
+Edwin Meyer Shit Edwin, can you read your own words? My whole point was..."an officer." You said, "low officer." Did I say high officer? No. Let. Me. Spell. It. Out. For. You. "O.f.fi.cer."
Got it, Edwin?? Christ!
The thing is, none of his video was really about that-- it was about helping people.
Ever helped people, "Edwin" I doubt it, you're a lazy ass couch judge, never even been in a fight. Would RUN your ass.
If I am wrong, post YOUR helpful video, and I shall do the same. Do NOT copy/use someone elses video, Anonymous kmows.
You think ten percent of your body weight is too much? That's just weird. My boots weigh that much. Ten percent is not a bug out bag, it's a day trip bag. Have you ever actually lived in the wilderness?
+James Ritchie
Check out the Pacific Crest Trail hiker videos. They spend months living out of a pack, and I doubt that you will find a 50 pound pack with any of them, and mighty few 40s.
+James Ritchie Your boots weight that much? Your boots are too heavy or you are too light in your loafers.
+tom jackson yes videos like truck stop diner paper place mats information..... must be true......
+tom jackson
EXACTLY! Appalachian Trail hikers spend weeks living out of their bags. 30lb MAX!! I always laugh when folks say their bag is 50, 60+lbs. You're gonna' DIE trying to hump that weight! (been there, done that)
+Mike White wait a minute "You're gonna' DIE trying to hump that weight! (been there, done that)" so you died? EEEKKK a ghost. ;)
In his "professional opinion" the only thing needed in your survival bag is a life Jacket!!
15 % of bodyweight, 6 to 10% give me a break.
The knife is so good it can cut through logs like no other axe.
I've made a small cooler pack for each car in case we get stranded. But I also have a empty backpack they can throw just what they need in there. I have a small wool throw, gloves,hat, a fold up shovel 3 ft long when extended, water, cliff bars, lighter, water proof matches, tin cup, canned soup, oil can with wick to heat up soup or help with fire starting. I did forget the knife (so important) and ziplocks bag (also important) noone would carry all of this but to be Able to choose what you do need according to your situation and distance from home is a blessing.
A Petty Officer 3rd Class (E-4) is now a "Military Officer"....
Watch mojo should make a top ten list of the most dissed RUclips survival vidiographers. This poor guy would definitely make the list. One big positive: he stepped up and made and posted a video.
Buddy , you missed two rolls of toilet paper.
This is not a bug-out bug, this is an EDC bag
Those people in the stadium after hurricane katrina, who waited nearly 5 days for any emergency services, would have found a bug out bag useful. It doesn't have to be huge or too heavy, just prioritize. An (EDC) and a (BOB) have different purposes.
I guess I was wrong, but I thought a bug-out bag was something you had prepared for an emergency, that you had stashed at your house or maybe kept in your car. You wouldn't be carrying your bug-out bag with you at all times, so I don't get why the video is titled that way, especially considering what your "SNAP" bag consists of, which is EDC type stuff.
nice ideas thanks for sharing
One thing a little bag like this can REALLY use it a small EDC and/or survival tin. I just made one with 30 things I actually use and it easily fits in my pocket.
have 1,000 reasons why I can't tell you why I carry a phone.
Great... carry a phone so you can always call someone to come over and put you down...or.... you can always order a pizza... lol
That tiny battery cannot jump start a car. You need something with more juice to do that.
I liked this, but your SNAP bag is actually an EDC (Every Day Carry)
Which I agree, more people should carry. But if you're bugging out, you'll probably want to bring more than can fit in a "man purse" :')
[edit] Also, the strap on that shoulder bag shown at the beginning looks like it would be intensely uncomfortable to haul around for more than a minute or two. A sturdy backpack with two straps, rather than the duffel, might be better since it would keep the weight closer to the center of gravity on your body and distribute the weight of the bag more.
Gloves? cell phone? battery pack? Heck where is your flat screen and satellite dish? No food, no change of clothes, no first aid kit, but you can surf the web on your smart phone LOL.
your snap bag is just like my hand bag mate. i am a mother of four boys and i carry all that and sooo much more in my handbag and have done for years. so now i can call it my snap bag, or even my bug out bag. i have a little laugh to myself, i have been lugging all that stuff around whenever we go anywhere and didnt even know i was prepping. nice video. and i dont think your rank is important, like all the comments are talking about, its the message you are trying to get across to us that is important. take care and be safe
+rebecca green hilarious comment
lmao.. "military officer"?? no.. this is a petty officer third class. or, an E4. e meaning enlisted.
With less than 2yrs of service
Navy never close to a Marine
the best snap bag to carry, is a gym bag that says Gold's Gym or something on the side of it so that it doesn't bring any attention to yourself as you're walking along.
Pulled out fingerless gloves and I scoffed. Pulled out a 440c Bear Grills knife as a "really good knife" and I almost stopped watching. Your "SNAP" bag is literally less equipped than my EDC (Every Day Carry).
And either shave that crap off your face or drop the rank.
people please dont listen to amything this little girl has to say about carrying around a hello kitty day pack. if you want to stay alive on foot you must come to the realization that you must carry stuff. on that note carry a bag that holds twice what you have in case you have to put something in it that youuuuuu will need. besides the weight of your bag might drop anyway due to use of items.
Not even use, once you have a decent camp going, some heavier "spareable" items can be left behind. Wool blankets, extra food, etc
The med kit wears it at
Depending On the situation your mobile phone will be dead, even if its fully charged it will make a good paper weight. Mobile phones require someone to maintain the networks. Also governments will shut down all personal phone so that the networks clear for strategic use in the early days. Or even its its regional the network towers could have been destroyed.
No firearm? Is this for people in a country with no rights for self defense?
I integrate my get home bag into my work backpack. Very incognito. It weighs 10 pounds in winter.
not sure where you you live you need cold weather gear i live in wisconsin its cold hear i have found out a good pair of insolated boots 900 grams minimum and a pair or six dollar wool swiss army gaiters and you can walk through anything you can also add a cheap pair thermal under ware a heavy winter coat and good gloves and a full face stocking cap if your car breaks down you can walk and get help even in sub zero temps i have found out if you have it and dont need it your ok BUT IF YOU DONT HAVE IT AND NEED IT YOUR SCREWED THE BITER COLD WILL KILL YOU FASTER THAN ANYTHING I KNOW AND YOUR VEHICAL ALSO -40 STEEL GETS BRIDLE AND WILL BREAK
I live above the baltic sea, i can not imagine suriving the winter in anything less than a large kota
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavvu#/media/File:Sami_Tent_in_Jukkasjarvi.jpg
My winter clothes are very heavy, even without my tools
ok you know about the cold i see so many preppers not preparing for cold weather if they have to leave there warm pocket of the country the cold is going to kill them
***** that i would pay money to see 45 below zero no block heater a good cold soak for 24 hours what do you have a bunch of batterys wired to gether to make one monster battery
‘’Man purse” you said it all right there buddy. Good luck
You're not willing to carry 18-20 lbs in the event of an emergency?! Time to hit the gym...
A bug out bag is not a purse for everyday use. A bug out bag is something you keep in your house or car for when the shit hits the fan. The snap bag is fine for everyday but it can’t replace a bug out bag.
First you are a "Petty Officer 3rd Class" not an Officer. Glad you say it is a SNAP not Bug out. Due to no Phone with a Bug out bag. Good bag for the Car, or just for that problem but not for "Off the Grid". What type of PO3? Sound like HM3 with some items / ways you said thengs. I was USN/USMC HMC, later made LT. Need to change the Title of the video. Most people think Officers know more, but NCO's train the Officers. The only thing I liked as a Officer was the paycheck.
If you want to know what to carry to get from point A to point B, ask a thru-hiker. If you want to survive a doomsday scenario, learn from the homeless.
Great video
Ugh... i have a 55 L bug out bag and its 15 kilos , and i think its a struggle to just have on my back at home in the house, yet alone walk miles with it.... dunno what to do :( it would easy go up 3-4 more kilos when i add extra clothing to it and fill up the 2 water bladders i have.
Not to throw any shade. As a former US MARINE your BUG OUT bag is too small. Not carrying the right stuff. A pencil and paper won't be in my BUG OUT bag. FOOD, water, a pistol and ammunition are at the top of my list for my BUG OUT bag.
Seems to me that what your talking about in this video is an edc bag. Every
Day
Carry
These usually are a much smaller version on the larger BoB. They are usually packed with a small amount of medical supplies, some light calorie and protein bars, a small fire making kit, some rain gear, and water. Of course these things can and probably will differ depending on where your located.
Just my two sense.
The military trains soldiers to carry gear that is 70 perecent of their body weight. Yet this guy says 8 percent is too much.
What he is describing is a short distance get home bag. This guy is on the right path if you commute 5-10 maybe 20 miles a day and your in a generally suburban environment. I drive on a regular basis 130 miles and much of it is semi-rural. Your bag should suit the gravest situation that you could be in. If i took that little pee-dunk bag on one of my trips (especially in the winter) and say a EMP/Solar Flare (I know far fetch but not impossible) good chance me an my family die before we make it home. Always bring a few pair of good socks, not cheap cotton, and keep a great pair of walking/hiking shoes, a weeks worth of medications if you need them, etc... Its really about thinking and planning to encounter the most likely situation in a worse case scenario. It usually takes several days before people start turning into stark raving evil lunatics...But don't count on it. Think of Katrina/Rita. The country folks tend to be very cordial and helpful, Urban environments tend to turn into no go zones pretty fast.
(1) Cutting Tool: Ultimately, this means a sturdy, full-tang survival knife-something that should always be on your person . A design with a four to five-inch carbon-steel blade and a flattened back edge is typically the most dependable and versatile. Well-made survival knives allow you to do everything from clean fish to split kindling.
(2) Combustion: Being able to spark a fire is critical in a survival situation. In inclement weather, it’s the first order of business-fundamental to maintaining your core temperature. With at least 2 alternatives plus dry tinder in a bag or maybe cotton balls soaked in Vaseline,
(3) Cover: A common mistake committed by plenty of people is neglecting to include an emergency shelter in their bag. You need the ability to quickly erect a precipitation and cold-resistant covering to keep you dry and warm in the event of an unforeseen night out in the backwoods. A poncho, wool blanket, tarp, or even a plastic garbage bag will serve you well.
(4) Container: An ideal container for wilderness use is a 32-oz. stainless-steel water bottle. Staying hydrated is fundamental in an emergency, and you want a durable vessel for storing and carrying water. The high-quality metal additionally allows you to boil water-or melt snow-to render it safe to drink: I would also recommend a Sawyer or Katadyn Water filter, or even a life straw (they don't tell you but you need to let the inlet side soak in the water about ten minutes before drinking the first time to prime the filter element
(5) Cordage: Sure, you can fashion rope from plant materials in the backcountry-but why expend that time and effort if you don’t need to? Carry a good 100 feet of 550 cord, which can assist in a dizzying array of tasks.
Theres already a name for this sort of stuff, EDC, EveryDay Carry. Because I for one do not specificlly need to get a "snap bag" to include my phone, because I carry my phone everyday in my pocket anyway.
Good idea to get to your car where your real get home bag is. I'm more a bug in kind of person but you got to get home first to do that. Then at home have bug out bags for when you can no longer bug in.
Are NCOs referred to as Officers in the US? Around here, you'd never consider calling a petty officer a "Military Officer".
Technically a Petty Officer isn't an Officer... but hey - I don't wanna be petty... ;)
Well technically, weren't you in that 90's show, Saved by the Bell?
why aren't there emergency tampons in here!?
put that same stuff in a laptop bag and it wont draw any attention at all.
A more useful item to have is a Day Pack ! A Day Pack with "The Ten Essentials" by the Seattle Mountaineers will keep you safe overnight and bring you home safe the next day. A Day Pack is needed for all or any short Day Hike (or trip) ! A French couple took a short Day Hike at WSNM in the sand dunes and only the baby infant survived. My EDC starts with my 5.11 Tactical pant that carries the Fenix PD35 LED Flashlight and the SOG Trident in Black TiNi with the seatbelt cutter. The SOG tool does not need to be open to be useful... The tool is great for to bash a zombie or cut twine on bales of hay with the seatbelt cutter ! Take only photos, leave only footprints and kill only time ! tjl
Not an officer. Petty officers are enlisted, not officers.
Ok, you got some hate from what i see in the comments. i can understand why, But heres something to remind everyone, A bug out bag ideally is to get you from point A to point B, My point B is about 15 miles away. so i dont really need to carry a whole lot, Hell, i dont think ill be not able to drive to my location. EMP you say? Its called Horses. Of which i have at my point B. And in any case one of my more expensive pieces of bugout gear would be a HMMVW, A real one, Not a hummer. So, Eliminates that problem. Flat tires? Spares. No Electric? generator/vehicle/do without. No Phone? radio, No radio? tell in person.
This guy dropping his rank is a put-off. Almost as much as a "Military Officer" telling me to put down the bug-out bag!
My 8year old daughter has what i think is the basic. maybe it could help you out to know her hello kitty bag has a berkey bottle,2mre,level 1,2,3 med kit, fire steel,bic lighter,cold steel voyager,Mylar blanket,nitecore p12,pocket solar charger..a Fannie pack I just don't think it's that incognito
I have a maxpedition pygmy falcon2 as a diaper bag for my 2year old boy it's about 15pounds man up your in the military you have carried heavy bags before💪😀
Stop saying "emergency" bug out bag. The word emergency is already implied in the whole idea of a BUG OUT BAG
well at least you might survive a long wait at the checkout....
"Officer."
It doesn't matter what rank a person is in the military. Using rank in order to give or take away credit is not only immature to say the least, but completely idiotic. Regardless of rank, he has experience.
Wasn't this guy selling ginzu knives at home shows a year ago?
ShamWow!
is this a commercial?
...I am FORMER MILITARY INTELLIGENCE( 35M INTERROGATOR), so let me define what an OFFICER is: a Petty Officer is the lowest rank of NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER...equivalent to an Army CORPORAL...and are skilled PROFESSIONALS and IMMEDIATE SUPERVISORS, that provide LOWER LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT...COMMISSIONED OFFICERS (1 LT, CPT, MAJ, LTC, COL, BG, MG, LTG, GEN, GA) ...must possess a BACHELOR'S DEGREE to receive a COMMISSION (EITHER through WEST POINT, RESERVE OFFICER TRAINING CORPS, or OCS- Officer Candidate School) and provide UPPER LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT...a WARRANT OFFICER is an OFFICER designated by WARRANT (and are SPECIALIZED in a specific MOS, such as a WARRANT OFFICER INTERROGATOR - MOS designation would change from 35M to 351M and have a CURRENT TOP SECRET CLEARANCE based on SSBI)...ranking below COMMISSIONED OFFICERS and above NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS...THEREFORE, a PETTY OFFICER is a NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER...
if I got to bug out it will be for a shtf.
It will require more than a small bag.
I will keep a small bag for a car break down but if I have to get home on foot, I will need more to get home like tents and food plus more.
haha it just makes me laugh how he puts "Military Officer" in the title, but then he is only a Petty Officer 3rd class.
E-4 isn't an officer bud. lol
I bought an 11" black tool bag from Harbor freight...$7 bucks. Actually I have three of 'em for different purposes and very low brow, plane jane, incognito.
or an Avengers back pack
