Thanks for being part of the solution!
Thank you! Like so many others, we live in the WUI (Wildland-Urban Interface) and I go into a regular panic every time I smell a whiff of smoke during the summer. I’ve been working on getting our bugout bags together for years (work in progress) and am also getting vital documents and photos together. I appreciate your encouragement.
I’d really like to know which totes he’s using in his garage. Mind asking? Some of the ones I’ve gotten haven’t held up very well (plastic cracks). Please and thank you! 🤗
Organization is the key when all heck breaks loose and you have to skedaddle. I have totes for cooking equipment, water supplies, hygiene, portable power, etc. I have 5 gallon buckets for sanitation supplies and tools/repair items. As a Registered Nurse I have my medical bag. I do have my tent and sleeping bags in military duffel bags from my days in the Army. I never think I am as prepared to evacuate as I need to be. This was a great reminder to go through everything. Again, thanks for this kind of format.
I take a fold up harbor freight hand truck (that I found in a dumpster).
I use it to move ice chests and camp boxes around camp.
I'm 70 and not as strong as I was years ago.
Thanks for this! I got notice one night last summer to be ready to evacuate for an nearby uncontrolled fire. We were running around like lunatics trying to get clothes, valuables, momentos and documents. There was no room for food or camping gear.
I have an elderly with dementia living with us, lol, they were roaming around with a random clothes hanger and a candle stick which I later found stuffed in some else's closet. At least they kept themselves busy during the chaos.
I'm considering an enclosed trailer for space to bring gear since there are multiple people and pets to pack for.
I know I need to organize my emergency shhhhtuff. I'm hoping to ask my weekend helper to start that with me this Saturday, one category at a time. And of course I'll need more boxes and totes and storage containers, but I'll do what I can as I can. One step at a time. as the saying goes. Workin' on it!
And a semi with 48-ft trailer to carry it all. :D
Hello Jeremy :)
Not a semi lol just a SUV or truck or roof rack.
@@TheProvidentPrepperHi, thanks for the info.
Did you tried the kinetic stove?
Did you ever had to do a pcr test?
I was just thinking about this the other day as I live in an apartment on the 2nd floor.
Me too!
I’m really happy to know that my van contains most of what Nick advised. I’m also really happy to have heard him talk because I noticed a few things I can add and improve before the next hurricane season. He is so clear and understandable in his presentation. Thank you all for bringing this to us. You are appreciated. Well done!!! Thank you!
Enjoyed the information. Fortunately I have 99 % of these supplies because I camp a lot. But the organization is what I need to work on. I too find the 5 gallon water containers are getting to heavy for me I use a folding Trolley Dolly to move them around. I will be looking for the 2.5 gallon containers. I have dietary issues, so I make my own dehydrated or put together and seal freeze dried foods for a quick meal while camping. The frozen water bottles is something I have used for years, I like the 64 oz. juice bottles, because they are more squared and are more space efficient. When the ice melts I use the water for cleaning. Some of the coolers are bear proof, so even if you don't use them as a cooler, you can store your food for safety in the coolers. Or put a heavy duty strap around a regular hard shell cooler. Laundry: the newer detergent sheets, are lighter and take up very little space. Not to much was said about solar. Solar lights such as the solar light bulbs and small lanterns are great. Collapsible solar cookers can heat up water and even sterilize it and won't use up all your fuel. The only down side is you need sun. It will not smell like a campfire and bring attention to your camp if your trying to hide out. I don't like the smell of campfires and smoke so I don't have campfires.
Solar - Agreed! (I do like the smell of a campfire, but my lungs don't. 😉)
i have had a "picnic box" for over 30 years!! keep it packed with everything but the food.. i love the totes to help keep everything together too!!! thanks for the great ideas!!
Excellent information. I'm somewhat organized with my camping/evacuation gear but after watching this, I know where my holes are. I love using totes for storage and have categorized many of them. I can't remember where I saw it, but someone took a wheeled three tiered toolbox and made it their camp kitchen kit.
That's a cool idea!
Thanks. I thought I had a pretty good handle on things. But this reminds there's a bunch more to be done to prepare for a family.
I did a lot of camping in the decade I worked in Silicon Valley. Started taking 1st aid courses in High School. I still recommend *C.E.R.T. training -- Community Emergency Response Team training,* you should be able to get information & sign up at your local Fire Station.
I also recommend *Red Cross Course "Wilderness Emergency Response."* It's designed around the idea that you're Days or Weeks away from regular Emergency Medical Services. When I took the class it was a 3-hour class each week for 12 weeks, with a day-long practical review where trained volunteers had fake wounds, so you had to figure out how to use what you had learned. Also learned CPR for infants, children, adults and TEAM rescue techniques. Pretty darned comprehensive. You get five certifications from that one course.
Remember when Boy Scouts of America was a great thing? The motto was "BE Prepared."
If you really have to leave you home you don't want to even go this route unless it's the only option you have.
1. Your first choice should be family or friends homes.
2. Second Rv trailer.
3. Third a vehicle.
4. Forth would be tent camping.
Just know by the time you have everything you need for tent camping long term you are talking over $1000 dollars.
You can get a decent used small trailer that is light weight and can be pulled by cars if you don't Have a truck. I have a F-350 and 27' trailer that i have lived in for work for 5 months. It's like having a little home. I've also camped out of the back of the truck. Tents are always my very last choice.
I absolutely agree that tent camping should be your next to last resort. Backpacking would be my absolute last resort. Key is to have layers of protection for all contingencies. The goal of this video is to show how everyday camping items most people have can be organized and upgraded for use as an emergency base camp if needed until better arrangements can be achieved.
I keep my games in a really sturdy ziplock bag ( industrial strength I got at work ) The bag takes up less room than a tote.
I love the ideas for the other totes though!
For food, I use an inexpensive plastic 3 drawer system that sits easily in the back of my truck. And, it’s just a small pre runner.
Bear has shown his garage stored trailer that is full of bug out equipment. Hook it to the truck and go!
WOW, what a FUN, LIGHTHEARTED VIDEO that went by very quickly; you selected the PERFECT GUEST to speak about this subject❗️I enjoyed the informative, INSIGHTFUL EXAMPLES of Nick sharing many personal experiences as examples‼️ I also 👍🏼 that Nick was down to earth, even making me 😂 chuckle each time he exclaimed “because I’m LAZY!”… because haven’t we all done similar things at times?
Great organization Nick. Terrific information. Thank you Jonathan and Kylene for sharing this video. I didn't know you had ducks Kylene. Happy trails!
LOL!
I would add water purification tablets jic. My water container of choice is called a waterbrick. There is a lid that can be purchased that also has a spigot.
Really enjoyed the on point straight talking from Nick
I was only able to listen but will definitely watch tonight.
I live in a crowded, urban area. There would be no way to evacuate. The traffic is awful all the time here. In case of emergency, hunkering down is all we have.
YAY!!!! I'm glad to finally see someone promote the Sagan Life water purifiers!!!! I've been using them for about 2 years now and still love them!!! 😍
I know I need to do this now. This is one area that I am totally unprepared. It just seems overwhelming and in Ohio the possibility of having to evacuate is low. Having said that it still could happen and I would be in a mess. So I need to get motivated and at least do something. Thanks for a great video.
These things could still come in handy. The tent, for instance, can be used to create a micro climate in the house, during a prolonged winter power outage.
I live in southern Michigan and until last year, I always assumed the evacuation possibility was low too-until Palestine. I'm nowhere near as organized as this video but I'm a camper and at least due to that I have alot of the equipment already and it's in an oversized tote so it's pretty much in one place. Still learned some new things tho and realizing that I have a ways to go...
@@Rose-ht3xcYes that mess in Palestine got my attention too. I am west of that but we have a lot of trains that go through the middle of my town and it could easily happen here too. Just never know these days.
I think this is a great system but it’s a bit unrealistic to think one could get that much stuff in a small car. I have a truck so we could bring a lot with us but I’d hate to have a small car and a family, plus camping gear and food in it. 😮
Also, don’t forget a tote for the pets. Bowls, food, toys etc.
It would require some creative packing for a small car I agree. You would have to get creative or combine totes to save space. That is why I recommended a roof rack/trailer hitch for smaller vehicles. In an emergency you may need to split it up in two vehicles. I get this all in my suburban and still have the back seat for the kids. Before that, I could fit it all in my Explorer. This is what most people I see at the campsites have though, so its not as much as it may seem.
Very informative - thank you ! Another site had an interesting idea for 1-2 person camping . They used a vitamin tray (daily , with 7 individual snap-lid compartments) to store spices and seasonings ! FYI !
This is amazing! I have collected much of this. We have a camper but try not to keep too much in it. Using plastic containers means that after work on a Friday we can grab n go and still set up before sundown😊. Still fine tuning the hygiene kit and always trying to improve first aid kit. One thing I do is have a small first aid kit for the trails within my larger "base camp" kit.
My Goal is to be that organized. I am working towards it little by little! Great video and informative. Thank you
That was a wonderful presentation. Want to make camping easier, and this is great. And good practice for off-grid situations. Thank you!
We bought a bunch of large plastic tool boxes at Canadian tire years ago. They have side and a top handle that folds down and they stack beautifully. One contains all our basic camping stuff - pots, tarp, mallet, trowels, stove, fuel canisters, water filter, basin, etc. Another has a big cross on it in yellow duct tape - that's the one we used for field trips with my husbands earth science students and it contained first aid kits, bear spray, whistles, etc. I think it's time to check the contents of all of these and repack with evacuation supplies.
A fantastic video filled with valuable information. I appreciate the easy to understand bullet points. A video to review many times over!
A little cocoa powder can go a long way for us girls..
There are a lot of GREAT tips in this video. THANK YOU! One thing I DIDN'T hear Mentioned was an extended Medical Kit, and a couple of weeks supply of any Prescription Meds we might need, especially in a grid down or EVAC situation.
Fantastic share! Very in-depth information. 👍👍
Nice video and thanks for sharing !
Thanks for watching!
Thanknyou for the lists of supplies needed for comfortable safe camping. 🙏 Hope I never have to do it.😊
get the clam quick set screen tent. amazing
I like my cancer strong. Definitely go with 100% deet
Thank you great show
Thank you for another great video!
Thank you where i live has been rezoned to possible flood zone i am going to need this
All good info.
Thanks for the share! I am peeped exactly like that.
Great tips!
Hello Mary!
Hello 🙂 @@TheProvidentPrepper
What you all need to do is go backpacking for a weekend (at least 2 nights)… like 21 miles or so, so that you know what types of things you really need and what you do not. Too much stuff can make life actually harder. If your on foot, you won’t need 1/2 of what was shown. You should camp both ways….. on a back pack trip, and also just car/truck camping. Then you can organize by both situations. It is better to not bug out if possible. Sturdy structures for sleeping, etc is preferred over living in the wild. It all depends on the emergency.
I enjoy going backpacking as well. In that situation ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain. This is a car camping/basecamp setup for a week or more so more freedom with what to take with you. Backpacking would be my absolute last resort A backpack would be your typical bug out/get me home/72 hour bag. Many people, especially those with medical issues, would have a lot of difficulty backpack camping for any length of time with a sleep mat and a pup tent/improvised shelter.
@@brickhouseprep True, but some need to at least go camping once before trying to compile what they would need in an emergency situation what ever type of situation that might be. It sure lets you know what you truly need and would not need. Good list in the presentation though. It shows all the things that should be considered. ;)
What about a swag tent for a single adult? Can’t stand up in it but more compact.
France : yes, expériment camping 24 hours with a great weather then average then awfull.
First in a van, second in a car, third by foot.
If very experimented, with broken members in a gamma radiologic environnement. Just kidding, nice video, usefull.
LOL hilarious ... thanks for the comedy show lol
Does Nick have a blog/youtube/twitter/etc? I also saw his vehicle kit talk, good stuff!
He is amazing!
Not yet, but I'm pretty easy to reach if you need something.
@@brickhouseprep no don’t need anything per se but I was looking to see if you published any other talks
Eveyone should invest in a thermacell. Best way to keep mosquito away.
I don't see a link to the boxes he uses for storage. Am I missing that?
What if your walking?
New sub here. Id love to win walkir talkie. Ive got nothing ready
Also im disabled and wear Oxygen 24 7. What solar generator would u think would work for my wearing oxygen all the time. Thank you
👍🏼👍🏼
Dejavú. Right before a big election it always seems like everyone starts to prepare for a SHTF moment. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this too? I feel like a 🐒
I cant stand people that list thier camping supplies and it ends up being 10k$ /800 lbs worth, needs to be hauled by a trailer and carried the rest of the way to site by 11 ppl. Give me a break that's not camping. It's glamping. And it's not feasible as a to-go option. Not when u need a fleet of trucks to haul everything....
Hello
Hope you are well. There are many layers of camping and there are many layers of survival. This video was about ideas for the camping level. You can go smaller to the point of a rucksack with an ultralight improvised tarp shelter or glamp it in an RV with a generator, flushable toilet and hot shower. How many layers you have and which level you prefer to survive in is up to you. Make it your own.
I personally would not call it glamping as there was no discussion of a generator or electrical/ plumbing hookups. I also do not own a trailer to carry it. For the last 20 years I’ve hauled it in my SUV and I camp with it 3-4 times a year. As I bought most of the stuff 20 years ago I can assure you it did not cost thousands of dollars nor could I afford it if it did. I bought it one piece at a time and upgraded as I could or when something wore out. Time is on your side. Pick the layer and setup that works best for you.
A backpack bug out kit is a great idea to have but it’s only designed for 72 hours in most cases. I would most definitely prefer a real building with heat, water and electricity…but to have options is always a good idea.
Hope this helps.
Promo sm 😳
My question is how in the hell are you going to carry all this? You need a vehicle to hold all these things.
We will have vehicles for some scenarios but not for all. You make a great point. Important to be prepared for both.
Agreed. The more layers you have, and the more options you have, the better.
