Having a plan is better than no plan at all but when I ask the following question; "Where will you bug out too?" I more often than not get a deer in the headlight stare because most haven't looked that far ahead.
Lilly. I would wrap devices in bubble wrap first, then thin cardboard, then foil. An EMP might short devices if the foil is in direct contact. The bubble wrap can be used to collect rainwater, or to sit on, in cold weather. The cardboard would be good for dry tinder, but could also be worn next to the body for trapping body heat. The foil can be used in firebuilding, rainwater collection and cooking. I know that YOU know this Lilly, I'm just stating it for any newbies who may not have considered this.
For a bag meant to be used while on the move, I use the least bulky half mask option possible, then include a small pair of swimming goggles to protect the eyes from gases, smoke, etc. Unlike welding and riding goggles, swimming goggles are air (and water) tight.
I am a retired Comm’s Technician and you definitely want to remove all your batteries from your electronics before preparing them for a EMP. Also it is very important to NOT let your antenna make contact with your foil that you are using to wrap your radio in. Perhaps put your radio in a box or plastic bag, then wrap it up 2x’ s with foil.
Is permalloy foil significantly better than aluminum foil? I had many discussion about that with electro-geeks. And they told me that paramagnetic metals like aluminum do not filter magnetic compound of EMP. This is the problem. Do you agree ?
@@petrklic7064 The best way to tell if something will work is to get yourself a small transistor radio. Turn it on and find a strong station. Place that radio or even a cell phone into what you plan on using. If you can’t hear the radio station, then you blocked the signal. If you can’t call the cellphone and it won’t ring, you’ve blocked the signal. This is what you want. As far as alloy foil, I’ve never actually tried that.
Again, fantasy EMP stuff. The real reason you remove the batteries is because batteries leak! Even in the package I have had the top two American brands leak in the store package well before the expire date. I only use lithium now.
All good tips Lilly! I added a Wouxun KG-UV9G GMRS two-way radio/scanner and a Baofeng UV-9G radio so my wife and I can stay in touch if the cell service goes down. Both have the weather channels and a flashlight, and the Wouxun scans must frequencies. The Federal license was $35.00 dollars for 10 years for the entire family. A great addition to staying safe. I listen to the ambulance calls and they are interesting, especially during the pandemic.
For your plan I would suggest the day one cache to be a storage unit that is just outside of the traffic congestion zone so you can really prioritize getting out of town over hauling gear. The storage room could have summer/winter gear choices, lots of water and bicycles
@@SurvivalLilly if there is looting that has reached the outskirts of town your bag will be mugged from you. There is no ideal scenario. If the town is going to fall into worl then getting out is the only thing that matters. Pick up gear once you are in a safer area
Perhaps, your 1st or 2nd cache should contain replacement gear; low chance of discovery. In WROL, you need to move with decisive action and great speed directly to the next goal. 2 is 1 and 1 ist zilch.
EXCELLENT advice. I have been the one "prepping" BOBs for my family, but hubby balks. Every time I try to get him to participate, he says, "Where would we GO?!" I suspect, if our city gets evacuated, it is likely that the "Evacuation Route" roads, might very well dictate which DIRECTION we'd be ALLOWED to travel to get away, so we need multiple plans, exactly as you pointed out!
Great job!!! There are a few things I would consider adding. First is safety goggles/safety glasses. Second is work gloves. Third is batteries. 4th is a battery tester. 5th is a pencil sharpener. I have a solar battery recharger and battery bank and I like to keep all my batteries charged, but remembering which ones are charged and which ones are not charged can be difficult in an emergency situation. I also keep my electronics in an EMP bag or a waterproof EMP pouch. I also keep a hygiene kit, a Scrubba laundry washing bag, a solar shower, and a clothesline in my bag. 10 days in unclean clothes or without keeping clean can breed bacteria which can cause infections. I also have an empty cooler chair for when I need to sit. It's very lightweight and can waterproof items in a storm.
Good point. Very few videos ever cover clothing, keeping clean etc.... Just a couple pairs of socks, underwear, vests/light t-shirt will make a big difference and increase morale.
I really like the head lamps with the red lens. I've done wilderness camping with horses and a white light can really freak them out. Red lens doesn't even bother them.
Something that might be better than night vision, especially for the use you mentioned: A cell phone with a FLIR camera. I bought a Blackview BV9800 Pro directly from the manufacturer about a year ago for $320 USD shipped. It's fully rugged and waterproof, has a huge battery, and a built in FLIR camera. Unlike a lot of the rugged or 'work' phones with wonky operating systems that won't run a lot of apps it'll run any version of Android and I've yet to find an app that doesn't work on it. With the FLIR camera I can see anything warm blooded through even the most dense brush. I'm sure you've seen FLIR cameras in action on TV shows like cops. This one isn't super high resolution like the ones on helicopters, but it overlays the FLIR image over the image from one of it's two 'regular' cameras so you can see a lot more detail. I can see the electrical wires and pipes in the walls of every building I've tried it in, so long as the wires or pipes are in use, or recently used. Amazing tech for three hundred bucks, and we're all carrying around a phone anyway!
@@Damacles9 At this point I don't want anything 5G, so I got the 4G version. It's tough, in a serious metal case with rubber on the corners and back.

Lilly, look into the "Solo Stove" for cooking. I use one on all my excursions. They are light in weight and there is no need to carry fuel when going out. You can even cook with leaves but I use mostly twigs and sticks (no large material needed). Time to cook 12 oz of coffee, 20 minutes. Also, the fire is mostly contained within the stove so there is very little flame that could easily be obscured. Love your videos!
I would keep a horse at a boarding stable outside the city. Then you could travel offroad and the horse would feed itself whenever food was available. A horse can average 30 miles a day.
Thank you Lily! Hello Missouri in the American midwest. This was quite helpful and informative! I only recently discovered your channel and am very glad that I did. 🙂Thanks!
If some one steals your vehicle you also lost the gear weather they took it from you strait forward which i wouldn't let you keep it if that was the case there not going to let keep anything second they took it while you were in a store or away from your car.
Hi Lilly, What a selection. Although the ALTOIDs can caught my eye first, impressive layout for a Bug Out pack. Thanks for video. Looking forward to your next one. 🙂 I thought I recognized the map. Its of the area where I live. What a surprise! THANK YOU! Yes the destination is a good place with lots of game.
15:00 Another alternative to a full face mask is to combine the cheap half mask with cheap swimming goggles so you can protect your eyes (swimming goggles have full rubber gaskets around your eyes). I have this setup and the goggles are compatible with the half mask I have.
@@Damacles9 There may be more expensive swimming goggles that come with an anti-fog interior lens but I haven't tested them. You can also apply your own aftermarket anti-fog spray or wipe but I haven't tested those either. Some swimming goggles say to wet the inside before putting them on to prevent fogging. Not sure how effective that is since I hardly ever go swimming. Point is, there's a number of solutions if fogging is a problem and it's probably still cheaper or more cost effective than a whole Mira face mask.
One thing that I noticed missing would be some type of goggles that fit over glasses and fit tight to the face to keep chemicals and smoke out of your eyes. It should go with the half face masks. Cause if you can breath but not see you probably aren't going anywhere. Lily thanks for what you do. I enjoy your channel.
For the risk of radiation fallout you should have potassium iodine tablets and for you in Europe personal defense can be had with a SAS survival takedown bow and arrows easy to pack and use and come in 35lb and 50lb draw weights.
Love that you are still posting on being prepared type topics. So many things could happen to cause us to need to get somewhere in non-typical circumstances. Also, I enjoy your accent ;-) Cheers.
Unfortunately, Lily lives in Austria, and despite the fact of it being the home country of the Glock pistol, Austrian citizens have to jump through a ridiculous number of hoops and pay outlandish prices in order to legally own a pistol any firearm for that matter. As well as get on a specialized waiting list that could take 6 to 8 months.
Before I go camping I do the whole thing over in my mind first ,from when I arrive at the camp ground then setting up camp the things I will need to do that then I cook make coffee I do all of these things in my mind also thinking about all of that equipment I will need , I like to get it together as I think about it ,then I do the same with sleeping gear wet weather gear etc etc, it's important to separate each need ,so you are less likely to forget something, because as we know you just cant go home and get it,
Lilly what about clean dry socks and pants and knickers underwear it would make life a lot more comfortable for a high mileage 10 day walk and some toilet paper , and some form of isotonic sports drink I think you can by it in powder form not only in liquid form . Lilly.
Good video with many good ideas. LILLY, I think about you and your family with all the scary news coming out of Ukraine. I hope a lot of Europeans are preparing like you.
Love your channel, but I have a problem, I am 65. I do not think this is possiable for me but would love your input on a going to a shelter and what to take. Or staying at home and staying safe. I live in FL and hurricanes are always a problem.

I just watched your naked and afraid episode. So glad you didn't tap and got that rabbit. You and Sam were probably the best partners I have ever seen on the show. Nice to see people care about each other and really be a team. You have great skills
I live in the country. My plan is to dig in and fight. At my age survival on the run just isn't going to word. Dig in and fight may not either but I'm going to make them hurt for what they want to take.
I live in a small town with only about 350 people. But it's scary, crazy, how serious and well organized. The people living here are they have meetings every month to discuss everybody's role. In a bug in situation if shit ever hits the fan in order to protect this, township and I can tell that they are not playing around when they discuss things.
Thanks for the video. I plan on hiking the entire 1200 miles of the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin, USA. There are towns scattered throughout to purchase food if needed, but I intend to live off the land as much as I can.
Very nice, Lilly, thank you! When you talked about making caches - It never occurred to me! Great idea! Would love to hear more about that! Have a very nice Sunday!
You should not wrap your electronics directly in tinfoil - put some isolation inbetween so the emp runs around them, not through them (also remove the battery if possible)... BUT an impressive setup, gave me some important hints! Q - what's that alarm-thingy called?
It seems to me that as for the WALKING option, in addition to the standard camping items (tent, tarp, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, basic cooking utensils, food and water, carrying all of the additional “technical” items mentioned herein, would put a substantial WEIGHT strain on anyone who is not a seasoned hiker, and would obviously necessitate eliminating as many items as possible. When hiking long distances LESS is MORE.
If your car gets stolen, what makes you think they're going let you get a bag from your car? Or a Car Accident Damaged your bag? You can prepare for any emergency situation (Which is a Good Thing), But the KEY to Survival may come down to you being able to Adapt. In a Crisis, think of "Naked and Afraid", but in Real Life. We watch and Learn from Videos like Lilly's, but the big thing is to know what to do if you forgot something or you lose your supplies. As far as the term "Tactical", it has little to no meaning... Like the Term "Assault Weapon"... "Tactical" is usually a term used by Marketing to sell cool looking but inferior products at Top Grade Prices".
Awsome setup 👍🤙. I like how you explained the distance on the map and how to set up caches especially if you have to transition and go by foot. Things can happen quickly and road blocks effect traveling by vehicle. I have seen situations where roads have been covered with rubble like blocks, bricks, large rocks and burning of car tyres that blockade the roads.
interesting selection.. seems very heavy for the average person to carry for 5 hours a day for 10 days. How much does it weigh? I'd just say do not take sawyer mini as your main source of filtration, as noted by thru hikers who use this kind of stuff for weeks and months on end, they are notoriously bad at becoming clogged or very slow and hard to flush. If you're carrying a sawyer, get the big one and carry the syringe, also carry chlorine dioxide (katadyn micropur) tablets as a backup, they weigh nothing and kill everything that a filter misses like viruses.
I think that folding 20" mini bike in your car, is good option for bug-out. It can spare you much time and energy, if you are forced to leave your car.
Austria is close to the “bug out zone” these days. Not so much in Phoenix, AZ., USA. Triple digit temps for the next 100 days. Shade is the commodity of choice.
Same here in Louisiana. Not to mention bugging out. Into the forests and swamps of Louisiana is not recommanded unless you are. A actual professional Survivalist Too many dam things that can bite Sting or eat you. Lol🫤
i always read that people/b.o.b. pack you should/maybe carry gold or silver. i would think that a no or little inter action with people would be what you woud want in bugging out. (with all the people who will be out it may get/be imposible not to) but maybe in say 90 days having gold/silver may come in handy (yes i know, can't go back to get it) but to have it would not be my priority. to barter with, again not to get/run into people if you do not have to would be my main concern. (say you barter with the gold/silver now you may be a target) always something to think about when/if the balloon goes up. water=how much and may get to heavy, food how much do you have room or to much weight (even if dehy.), first aid=you always can not find something you did not bring if you did not practise a shake down. be alert my fellow preppers, stay safe and be aware with what's out there and what you may need/have. like i said carry your stuff a few miles to see if you can do it and add or lighten as needed.
The P2 or P3 filters you have are great but I suggest the 3M 6035 cartridge P3. The 3M “pandemic” filters. They can be reused easily and will last for the “life of the pandemic”. They only fail a after being clogged with dust which takes weeks to months in a normal environment. Light, robust and pass air easily. In an actual pandemic, the external plastic box is wiped down with alcohol or similar and the mask is soaked in a bleach bucket, all with proper technique. The main advantage is their durability and they are much more robust to knocks and scratches. You would also need the charcoal cartridge filters. By the way, the 3M painter half masks are the same as the medical 3M half masks. Identical. Something I found out desperately looking for PPE as a medical worker during COVID. Not going into mask effectiveness during COVID here.
You didn't mention that the PowerBank in the kit also has its own built in Solar panel. I know all the roads and "most" of the tracks for hundreds of kms from my place and I am unlikely to add the gas mask option although I have one, just too much bulk and hassle to use considering the probability to need one. Everything taken is based on the risk, versus the likely need.
With all this talk of EMP's one thing I never see mentioned are 'Betalights'. These are tritium light sources that can glow for years. I have a 'Nite glowring' (keyring) that has been glowing for 23 years, but proper torches are available. They used to be produced in Austria, but not sure now. Civilian ownership of tritium lights are banned in the U.S but afaik legal throughout UK/EU. They don't require batteries or have any electronic components susceptible to EMP's. There are a few YT videos about them.
I'm going to hide a cache in 2 bugout spots, just basics like emergency poncho and medical blanket, cheap camping knife, matches, lighters, candles, plastic zip lock bags, can opener and pencils and pencil sharpeners.
@@waitandsee9345 I'd walk in with the food and water. I had someone steal one cache. So I'd keep it minimal, but take water and food in. I carry a backpack in my car.
@@debbiecurtis4021 yes. I'd keep it minimal too. Ppl worry too many things that they end up packing too many things. Life is more important than anything, sometime we have to let go things to save our lives.
I love the video Lilly, I'm in Oregon, if I have to hike to my friend in Missouri through as much as I can the woods, I think it will take me a year. Reverend Christine.
My Doomsday Plan is to be standing next to Lilly when WW III starts. I still remember (from Naked and Afraid) the look of relief on Sam's face when he met Lilly in the wilderness -- "Yes, we are going to make it through this ordeal, and yes, I'm the luckiest guy in the world !!"
S.L Good Job. - IODINE as tablets for radiation protection & in liquid form for water purification? if not available consider KELP Tablets and powder ..
NEED TO ADD a radio with alternate power sources: crank & solar, in addition to batteries. STAYING INFORMED, especially in the first days of an emergency, could be the difference between LIFE & DEATH.
“Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide”! 😂 All plans FAIL & need to be flexible with the circumstances. Stay safe, aware & survive now for the future.
Interesting. No BOB/Bugout Bag contains irreplaceable personal items like diaries, photos, hard drives or degrees. These are not necessary to survive but since I had to bug out, I will probably be unable to return. Gold and silver are probably not presented in the videos but can be included in the BOB depending on the scenario.
Lilly, to your Geiger counter and respirator, I advise you to add swimming goggles to protect your eyes from corrosive gas or dust. Hello from Russia! P.S.:No need to show your route on the Internet ; 3
Awesome video, I have the same little raddy bt speaker/radio. It is nice.I think you did a awesome job, but don't ever forget your ferro rods!!! Keep em coming gurl!!!! Also a small IFAK
A Good Video, I didn't find a link for the Night Vision. You printed a map for an area here in the U.S., for those of us in the U.S. we might consider a Defensive Compact Firearm and Ammo with all appropriate Permits and Hunting Lisc. in case of Predators both 2 and 4 legged.
Awesome video... I love the knife I think I'll buy one... also I'd Add POTASSIUM IODIDE PILLS, MAGNESIUM BAR OR FERO ROD FOR FIRE , a HAMMOCK, TARP ALSO SPARE SOCKS and BACK UP KNIFE... BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS SPOT ON Lily 👍...
All that survival gear , plus your camping gear , the weight would make the journey on foot impossible . All the gear is probably necessary , but not viable in a survival situation . Thank you . Cheers
Trangia and esbit are fantastic I have both Used hundreds of times traveling over many years Only thing I don't enjoy is the fact you are cooking in aluminum
Must be nerve wracking to be as close as you are to the front line action.I looked into mailing meat,but it's illegal unless it's like a sausage,kielbasa type smoked or precooked food . Precooked bacon etc.Let us know if things heat up and you run low, we'll try to get something to you Small studio apartment here.We'll probably hunker down here ,small town but near main arteries for traffic, train.Too congested trying to get out...millions in this tri-state area,Canada already burnt up.Thry get ya they'll get ya here or there.More than likely someone you know will kill you for snoring,for food.Always thanks for your channel,honesty and sharing the skills If your in a pickle and the above sounds good,your always welcome
Very interesting as always. Lilly, forgive a question for the US, what about transporting firearms in Europe and North America? None of this is of much use if a bad guy steals your bug-out bag.... Just curious.
If you've got to walk 10 days what if there are few/no water sources along the way (making your squeezy water filter/sawyer redundant) For such a long journey you need to take at least one 2litre+ bottle FULL of water. I take it your two light water bottles were empty right?
You need at least 2, better 3 liter of water each day. Thats 30 liters. No way you can carry it. You need to plan the route so you find water every day or at least every 2nd day
@@SurvivalLilly Suspect most people when they bugout wont have mapped out the water sources en route (or the possibility if everything goes down, that there's a dead carcass of a cow upstream / some other contagion) Yes water is heavy. But better to take more water if possible.. So many permutations that it's almost impossible to prepare enough. Bigger the "group", the wider the age groups, the more difficult such is. Let's hope we dont get to such an eventuality but it isnt looking good both geopolitically, nor economically.
i like the pack, the part i disagree with is the setting up 10 caches alone a route in the usa. idk what its like in europe, but unless you buy 10 properties along the way, and then even still, someone is going to get into it long before you do, its not a realistic thing in 90%+ of the country.
Thanks, Lilly. I didn't hear anything about guns. I would consider anyone walking WTSHTF without a gun as being someone that's fixing to lose their supplies to someone else...
Having a plan is better than no plan at all but when I ask the following question; "Where will you bug out too?" I more often than not get a deer in the headlight stare because most haven't looked that far ahead.

One thing that I noticed missing would be some type of goggles that fit over glasses and fit tight to the face to keep chemicals and smoke out of your eyes. It should go with the half face masks. Cause if you can breath but not see you probably aren't going anywhere. Lily thanks for what you do. I enjoy your channel.
Yeah I tried different googles. But they never fit over the half mask. There is a gap
@@SurvivalLilly
Try a welding respirator
They very compact.
For the risk of radiation fallout you should have potassium iodine tablets and for you in Europe personal defense can be had with a SAS survival takedown bow and arrows easy to pack and use and come in 35lb and 50lb draw weights.
Love that you are still posting on being prepared type topics. So many things could happen to cause us to need to get somewhere in non-typical circumstances. Also, I enjoy your accent ;-) Cheers.
The one thing you are missing is a firearm. I live in Arizona and I always keep a AR 7 .22 survival rifle and a 9mm pistol.
Unfortunately, Lily lives in Austria, and despite the fact of it being the home country of the Glock pistol, Austrian citizens have to jump through a ridiculous number of hoops and pay outlandish prices in order to legally own a pistol any firearm for that matter. As well as get on a specialized waiting list that could take 6 to 8 months.
Don't forget your bugout 9mm pistol+ammo. Austria makes some pretty reliable ones.
Before I go camping I do the whole thing over in my mind first ,from when I arrive at the camp ground then setting up camp the things I will need to do that then I cook make coffee I do all of these things in my mind also thinking about all of that equipment I will need , I like to get it together as I think about it ,then I do the same with sleeping gear wet weather gear etc etc, it's important to separate each need ,so you are less likely to forget something, because as we know you just cant go home and get it,
Lilly what about clean dry socks and pants and knickers underwear it would make life a lot more comfortable for a high mileage 10 day walk and some toilet paper , and some form of isotonic sports drink I think you can by it in powder form not only in liquid form .
Lilly.
Good video with many good ideas. LILLY, I think about you and your family with all the scary news coming out of Ukraine. I hope a lot of Europeans are preparing like you.
Love your channel, but I have a problem, I am 65. I do not think this is possiable for me but would love your input on a going to a shelter and what to take. Or staying at home and staying safe. I live in FL and hurricanes are always a problem.
This will be a useful guide for our last minute prep folks who ask what they need to do when the dealio eventually goes down
Two is one and one is none. Hope the mini kit has another combustion option. Enjoy your videos, Lilly. Thanks for all you do!

What's the name of that cute little shortwave radio/ radio
I just watched your naked and afraid episode. So glad you didn't tap and got that rabbit. You and Sam were probably the best partners I have ever seen on the show. Nice to see people care about each other and really be a team. You have great skills
I live in the country. My plan is to dig in and fight. At my age survival on the run just isn't going to word. Dig in and fight may not either but I'm going to make them hurt for what they want to take.
I am like you. I would not get far on foot. I plan on bugging in. If somebody tries to invade my space they will pay dearly.
I live in a small town with only about 350 people. But it's scary, crazy, how serious and well organized. The people living here are they have meetings every month to discuss everybody's role. In a bug in situation if shit ever hits the fan in order to protect this, township and I can tell that they are not playing around when they discuss things.
Those two - legged predators are much more dangerous than the four - legged once .
Thanks for the video. I plan on hiking the entire 1200 miles of the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin, USA. There are towns scattered throughout to purchase food if needed, but I intend to live off the land as much as I can.
Very nice, Lilly, thank you! When you talked about making caches - It never occurred to me! Great idea! Would love to hear more about that! Have a very nice Sunday!
You should not wrap your electronics directly in tinfoil - put some isolation inbetween so the emp runs around them, not through them (also remove the battery if possible)... BUT an impressive setup, gave me some important hints! Q - what's that alarm-thingy called?
Thanks for the tips. It is a handheld alarm for women.
@@SurvivalLilly thank you!
And after the pack is all set up, put it on and go for a nice long walk!
Thanks for the video Lilly. I am in Austria on vacation right now. 😁👍😁👍
Excellent kit! Thank you for this video!
It seems to me that as for the WALKING option, in addition to the standard camping items (tent, tarp, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, basic cooking utensils, food and water, carrying all of the additional “technical” items mentioned herein, would put a substantial WEIGHT strain on anyone who is not a seasoned hiker, and would obviously necessitate eliminating as many items as possible. When hiking long distances LESS is MORE.
Good evening from Syracuse NY USA my friend and thank you for sharing your adventures
Lily: watching from southeast Texas, enjoy your videos, you know what your talking about.
Offline maps in your smartphone is "must-have" for any bug-out.
No titanium canteens for any tactical situation. The caps are way too noisy when you screw or unscrew them.
If your car gets stolen, what makes you think they're going let you get a bag from your car? Or a Car Accident Damaged your bag? You can prepare for any emergency situation (Which is a Good Thing), But the KEY to Survival may come down to you being able to Adapt.
In a Crisis, think of "Naked and Afraid", but in Real Life. We watch and Learn from Videos like Lilly's, but the big thing is to know what to do if you forgot something or you lose your supplies.
As far as the term "Tactical", it has little to no meaning... Like the Term "Assault Weapon"... "Tactical" is usually a term used by Marketing to sell cool looking but inferior products at Top Grade Prices".
Awsome setup 👍🤙. I like how you explained the distance on the map and how to set up caches especially if you have to transition and go by foot. Things can happen quickly and road blocks effect traveling by vehicle. I have seen situations where roads have been covered with rubble like blocks, bricks, large rocks and burning of car tyres that blockade the roads.
interesting selection.. seems very heavy for the average person to carry for 5 hours a day for 10 days. How much does it weigh? I'd just say do not take sawyer mini as your main source of filtration, as noted by thru hikers who use this kind of stuff for weeks and months on end, they are notoriously bad at becoming clogged or very slow and hard to flush. If you're carrying a sawyer, get the big one and carry the syringe, also carry chlorine dioxide (katadyn micropur) tablets as a backup, they weigh nothing and kill everything that a filter misses like viruses.
Expired MREs are a good source of espit stoves , water purification tablets , matches . Great post , covered a loy of very god points.
8:56..It might be a good idea to make a small wire clip antenna so that radio can get maximum reception
I think that folding 20" mini bike in your car, is good option for bug-out.
It can spare you much time and energy, if you are forced to leave your car.
Austria is close to the “bug out zone” these days. Not so much in Phoenix, AZ., USA. Triple digit temps for the next 100 days. Shade is the commodity of choice.
Same here in Louisiana. Not to mention bugging out.
Into the forests and swamps of Louisiana is not recommanded unless you are.
A actual professional Survivalist Too many dam things that can bite Sting or eat you. Lol🫤
i always read that people/b.o.b. pack you should/maybe carry gold or silver. i would think that a no or little inter action with people would be what you woud want in bugging out. (with all the people who will be out it may get/be imposible not to) but maybe in say 90 days having gold/silver may come in handy (yes i know, can't go back to get it) but to have it would not be my priority. to barter with, again not to get/run into people if you do not have to would be my main concern. (say you barter with the gold/silver now you may be a target) always something to think about when/if the balloon goes up. water=how much and may get to heavy, food how much do you have room or to much weight (even if dehy.), first aid=you always can not find something you did not bring if you did not practise a shake down. be alert my fellow preppers, stay safe and be aware with what's out there and what you may need/have. like i said carry your stuff a few miles to see if you can do it and add or lighten as needed.
A really well thought out bag, but don't forget something to sleep in, on and under.
I've found a good bugout spot where I forage. There's a narrow deep gully that would be good in a nuclear event.
Sure, if a nuke goes off, you'll be safe in a ditch lol
The P2 or P3 filters you have are great but I suggest the 3M 6035 cartridge P3. The 3M “pandemic” filters. They can be reused easily and will last for the “life of the pandemic”. They only fail a after being clogged with dust which takes weeks to months in a normal environment. Light, robust and pass air easily. In an actual pandemic, the external plastic box is wiped down with alcohol or similar and the mask is soaked in a bleach bucket, all with proper technique. The main advantage is their durability and they are much more robust to knocks and scratches. You would also need the charcoal cartridge filters. By the way, the 3M painter half masks are the same as the medical 3M half masks. Identical. Something I found out desperately looking for PPE as a medical worker during COVID. Not going into mask effectiveness during COVID here.
You should also write down phone numbers etc if grid goes down all electricity will go down
You didn't mention that the PowerBank in the kit also has its own built in Solar panel. I know all the roads and "most" of the tracks for hundreds of kms from my place and I am unlikely to add the gas mask option although I have one, just too much bulk and hassle to use considering the probability to need one.
Everything taken is based on the risk, versus the likely need.
With all this talk of EMP's one thing I never see mentioned are 'Betalights'. These are tritium light sources that can glow for years. I have a 'Nite glowring' (keyring) that has been glowing for 23 years, but proper torches are available. They used to be produced in Austria, but not sure now. Civilian ownership of tritium lights are banned in the U.S but afaik legal throughout UK/EU. They don't require batteries or have any electronic components susceptible to EMP's. There are a few YT videos about them.
Why are they banned?
I'm going to hide a cache in 2 bugout spots, just basics like emergency poncho and medical blanket, cheap camping knife, matches, lighters, candles, plastic zip lock bags, can opener and pencils and pencil sharpeners.
Food and water. It's basic needs. Shelter, clothes and FnB.
@@waitandsee9345 I'd walk in with the food and water. I had someone steal one cache. So I'd keep it minimal, but take water and food in. I carry a backpack in my car.
@@debbiecurtis4021 yes. I'd keep it minimal too. Ppl worry too many things that they end up packing too many things. Life is more important than anything, sometime we have to let go things to save our lives.
I love the video Lilly, I'm in Oregon, if I have to hike to my friend in Missouri through as much as I can the woods, I think it will take me a year. Reverend Christine.
My Doomsday Plan is to be standing next to Lilly when WW III starts. I still remember (from Naked and Afraid) the look of relief on Sam's face when he met Lilly in the wilderness -- "Yes, we are going to make it through this ordeal, and yes, I'm the luckiest guy in the world !!"
S.L Good Job. - IODINE as tablets for radiation protection & in liquid form for water purification?
if not available consider KELP Tablets and powder ..
NEED TO ADD a radio with alternate power sources: crank & solar, in addition to batteries. STAYING INFORMED, especially in the first days of an emergency, could be the difference between LIFE & DEATH.
“Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide”! 😂 All plans FAIL & need to be flexible with the circumstances. Stay safe, aware & survive now for the future.
You are so great! Thanks for being who you are
10 days is 30 meals. 30 Mt House packs cost approx $ 450.
I rather carry my 1911.
True But that's a much easier option For us then it is for somebody living in Austria
あなたの経験と知識は日本人の私にも役に立っています︎👍🏻
I guess you'll better include a gasmask too in Großdeutschland 🤔😜
Compact bicycles, that could help a little even if you have a few people.
You should do a video on where you go for your maps and how to download/print them.
Interesting. No BOB/Bugout Bag contains irreplaceable personal items like diaries, photos, hard drives or degrees.
These are not necessary to survive but since I had to bug out, I will probably be unable to return.
Gold and silver are probably not presented in the videos but can be included in the BOB depending on the scenario.
Hi Lilly , I would love to watch a video about nuclear preparedness. Love the content!
Lilly; Your channel is a good one. I hope things are well in Austria.
Lilly, to your Geiger counter and respirator, I advise you to add swimming goggles to protect your eyes from corrosive gas or dust.
Hello from Russia!
P.S.:No need to show your route on the Internet ; 3
Great info , I would add some kind of eye protection to go with the masks.
Awesome video, I have the same little raddy bt speaker/radio. It is nice.I think you did a awesome job, but don't ever forget your ferro rods!!! Keep em coming gurl!!!! Also a small IFAK
A Good Video, I didn't find a link for the Night Vision. You printed a map for an area here in the U.S., for those of us in the U.S. we might consider a Defensive Compact Firearm and Ammo with all appropriate Permits and Hunting Lisc. in case of Predators both 2 and 4 legged.
Awesome video... I love the knife I think I'll buy one... also I'd Add POTASSIUM IODIDE PILLS, MAGNESIUM BAR OR FERO ROD FOR FIRE , a HAMMOCK, TARP ALSO SPARE SOCKS and BACK UP KNIFE... BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS SPOT ON Lily 👍...
Ha! I just drank a bottle of Spring Water from the bug out location on your map! The Ouachita (WASH-ah-taw) Mountains.
All that survival gear , plus your camping gear , the weight would make the journey on foot impossible . All the gear is probably necessary , but not viable in a survival situation . Thank you . Cheers
That looks suspiciously like my knife.
You can get waterproof signal blocker / faraday pouches to protect electronics pretty cheap now.
Great video Lilly. The only thing, I added to my bag. Was a micky, of Overproof Rum. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the video Lilly.
Hi Lilly, could we have links to that wrist compass & night vision monocular please ?
Lilly, a lot of good points and good info.
Hi Lil. I just watched your N&A episode. You did great. Thanks for the bugout bag tips.
Trangia and esbit are fantastic I have both
Used hundreds of times traveling over many years
Only thing I don't enjoy is the fact you are cooking in aluminum
Great video. I love “list videos” like this. I can say that i have a few of these items checked off
Must be nerve wracking to be as close as you are to the front line action.I looked into mailing meat,but it's illegal unless it's like a sausage,kielbasa type smoked or precooked food . Precooked bacon etc.Let us know if things heat up and you run low, we'll try to get something to you Small studio apartment here.We'll probably hunker down here ,small town but near main arteries for traffic, train.Too congested trying to get out...millions in this tri-state area,Canada already burnt up.Thry get ya they'll get ya here or there.More than likely someone you know will kill you for snoring,for food.Always thanks for your channel,honesty and sharing the skills
If your in a pickle and the above sounds good,your always welcome
Very interesting as always. Lilly, forgive a question for the US, what about transporting firearms in Europe and North America? None of this is of much use if a bad guy steals your bug-out bag.... Just curious.
Keep in mind you can ditch anything unnecessary as you go .
If you've got to walk 10 days what if there are few/no water sources along the way (making your squeezy water filter/sawyer redundant)
For such a long journey you need to take at least one 2litre+ bottle FULL of water.
I take it your two light water bottles were empty right?
You need at least 2, better 3 liter of water each day. Thats 30 liters. No way you can carry it. You need to plan the route so you find water every day or at least every 2nd day
@@SurvivalLilly Suspect most people when they bugout wont have mapped out the water sources en route (or the possibility if everything goes down, that there's a dead carcass of a cow upstream / some other contagion)
Yes water is heavy. But better to take more water if possible..
So many permutations that it's almost impossible to prepare enough. Bigger the "group", the wider the age groups, the more difficult such is.
Let's hope we dont get to such an eventuality but it isnt looking good both geopolitically, nor economically.
Can you please provide more information on your night vision monocular? Make? Model? Link? Thanks!
A firearm might be handy. But I'm in the states. Our laws aren't as draconian as yours
I love this channel. I use a SADF grootsak as my bugout bag.
i like the pack, the part i disagree with is the setting up 10 caches alone a route in the usa. idk what its like in europe, but unless you buy 10 properties along the way, and then even still, someone is going to get into it long before you do, its not a realistic thing in 90%+ of the country.
Hola, lily, interesante video, cuanto peso tienes en la mochila con agua y comida?
Great show. when's the next camper van video ?
Thanks, Lilly. I didn't hear anything about guns. I would consider anyone walking WTSHTF without a gun as being someone that's fixing to lose their supplies to someone else...
Awesome! Great tips
Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.
In the small plastic bag, did you say that was salt. Lilly?
Yes it is salt
