2 years ago we had torrential rain here in Australia at Xmas time. Roads / highways were cut off & I recall a lecture I gave & had included a need for a get home bag for the car. I received an email from a past delegate who gave me a huge thanks as both her & the husband were stranded for 2 days in the traffic. I had suggested adding the basic toiletries & with some food / water but a way to heat water. The wife told me they helped a family heat a baby bottle for a few babies but had some food to get them through the 2 days. Most people don't have a first aid kit in their car.
I have watched literally hundreds of videos on this topic. This, in my opinion is by far the best. No gear hype or snobbery. Just a plain common sense bag for a person who has actual limits on what they can spend! Great job!
I just bought that same bag for my husband's GHB. I have an old Eastsport bag that I use. His is going to be a surprise - I almost have it ready.
What great common sense information, ideal advice, especially for someone starting out or a beginner. All I can suggest is three very,very minor things that might improve your kit set up. One, add a ferrocerium rod/magnesium block to your fire kit, just in case your matches run out, or lighters run out of fuel or break. Two, swap out one or two of your pens for old fashioned wooden pencils, they won't run out of ink or freeze in inclement weather, plus shavings can be used as tinder. Three, add a small jar or tin of Vaseline to your kit for multiple uses. Keeps your blades and tools protected, has medicinal uses for chapped lips or chafing and can be used as great helper to start fires. Glad you included a whistle (looked like a ACR one to me) and toilet paper, people often forget this important item. One item I would perhaps add, as I am a great fan of it in the outdoors, is a US forces stainless steel artic mug. Great for boiling water without compromising what you have in your bottle, protects the more breakable items in your kit, you can even dig with it. The oblongish shape helps storage in pocket or pack. Great, keep up the good work.
I like to wrap my tape around an old gift card. It's thinner and I can put quite a bit on there.
I'm using that idea. Thats smart
@@Cyclops1983 go for it!
From my experience (such as it is) try out your rucksack. I had to walk home from work a couple of months ago as all transport went south. Had my work rucksack which looks fine but is designed more like a briefcase in rucksack form. 13 miles, the shoulder straps were too far apart and I was in pain when I got home. I'd replace the sit mat with a cheap tarp. Multi use including to sit on when folded. Those cheap tarps weigh very little and if you duct tape up the eyelets they're a little more reliable. I only slept if I had to when I've had to "get home". A small brew kit and coffee was very important. Hot drinks at night are good for morale and the added focus can be needed. A poncho is good shelter most of the time because you can be up and moving with all your kit in seconds. If it's hacking down with rain at night build a shelter because no one is out there who has a choice.
@@charlessalmond7076 Thanks for the reminder. No, not everyone out there follows the path of least resistance and sticks to the convenient options. Just because it's raining that's no excuse to light a bonfire and crank up the disco lights!!!!!
I live in Appalachia, I like my old beat up Alice frameless rucksack, they are cheap at flea markets, lots of people in this area have then, od green. A pack like this doesn’t really draw unwanted attention. It also implies that this dude doesn’t have much money . If I’m trekking home most likely I’m going thru the woods. I like to carry some type of mora knife, muti tool, usually a folder on my person, and I have a lite weight short prang in my bag and and basically the 5C’s and that sitting mat.
Nice no frills set up. I will say. You mention being stealthy when discussing food. If that is a priority )which I agree it should be) then maybe swap your bright blue find me tarp for a more neutral color option. Cheers
I also work 50 miles from home so thank you for this 🙏🏻
Great video! In a SHTF urban situation I would also conceal carry a small handgun with extra ammo. My choice is a 38 SPL j-frame revolver. Also you shoud add a 4 way sillcock key for getting water. Just my added opinion.
Great video. One last bit of advice though. Be prepared to adjust your mindset to the situation at hand. Improvise, adapt and overcome.
Great video. Thanks.
For those who want more rescue items , those cheap loud alarms that go off when you pull the string is also a good item, you can hear that anywhere.
I've learned along time ago.....especially with your gear! Well basically with everything that's important to you.... tools, knives, bags, gear, ect...... to try and buy the best version you can... buy once cry once!!and sometimes that requires you saving up for said item.... but looking back.... there wasn't anything that I HAD to have immediately where it couldn't wait until I saved up enough to get it!!!!!I just personally have experienced with cheap gear.... it just doesn't hold up and last quite like better stuff does!!! I think when it comes to setting up a bag....obviously using what you have available is key..... but it also is worth mentioning to go out and practice with your bag.... see EXACTLY the stuff you need! And the stuff you don't!!!!!! Getting out and using the stuff really helps with seeing what actually works well and what's just bag filler!
Excellent. I do much the same. One thing. Keep your water filter in your get home bag UNUSED so it's dry. Otherwise it can freeze which means it won't filter at all and you won't know it until it's too late.
You showed the Cliff bars, I agree with a protein bar of some sort. Metrx makes their big colossal 100 bars, they have about 25-30 grams of protein per bar and around 400-420 calories also. They're not as flat as a cliff bar and don't have the taste that cliff bars do, but in my opinion I think that they would be a better suit for a get home bag. I'm not knocking cliff bars at all, I eat them and think that they are awesome, and taste a hell of alot better than the Metrx bars, I'm just going by a shtf situation. Excellent video by brother!!!! Keep the great content coming!
Excellent I have 3 bags at different levels of equipment but you need to always reevaluate. I’m 73 with health issues but you still need to be prepared in case bugging in is no longer an option. Thank you
I loved your Walmart video. You got some great stuff from Walmart. Loved the stove you had. One thing I notice that no one ever puts in a survival kit is a flare gun why is that. Wouldn't a flare gun be a very worthwhile thing to get you found?
Just a heads up, speaking of budget, Walmart has the Sawyer Mini 2 packs on clearance for about $24. Grab them while you can!
Great video. I would suggest a change of socks. Wet feet are uncomfortable. Gorilla tape around a plastic card. 20' or so takes up a lot less room. Gloves. You never know what you need to touch. A mask for dust or smoke. Maybe a knit hat to keep the chill away.
Many of those items are covered in the vidoe
Nice setup. But if you want to leave the bag in your car all the time, you can sub the food with lifeboat emergency rations. TIP - wrap those vacuum sealed food bars in a long sleeve shirt real well - will keep them from rubbing against other stuff and losing their seal.
I love my gazzateer! I did mobile auto glass for 25 years and if was with me at all times!
Nice loadout. I'm liking the look of the onewind poncho. Looking at it online it appears easier to make a shelter than the poncho I already have
You should get a 72 hour rations like sos labs. Only 10 bucks
I like making the Dakota fire pits
Thanks so much. Very practical and useful. I have several of the items you recommended but appreciated the many others you suggested.
Thank you for this video. I changed my get home bag based on your evaluation
Awesome stuff!!!!!!!! Thanks
Nice job. I liked how you differentiated between the different types of 🎒. Thanks for the video a
Enjoyed the video very informative keep up the good work I will put a lot of these ideas to use thank you
Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
I was always taught by my survival Instructor with the get home be plain Jane then when you get home that's when you get out the assault pack if bugout is needed
If the grid is down the chances you might have to deal will treating trauma is much higher, so a small trauma/stop the bleed/MARCH-E kit would be advisable to have.
You always put out such good videos.
Look into grayl water filter bottles. Filters the water quickly and gives a means to store it after leaving a water source. There are also Katadyn filters which use collapsible bottles. Note my spelling of both names may be off. Your maps could in a pinch double as tinder. For budget purposes some cotton balls or flat rounds with some petroleum jelly burn for quite awhile as well; just wrap them in foil or toss them into an old Altoids can with a rubber band over it.
I have one
Excellent kit within the reach of anyone who puts forth the effort. My only comment would be to replace the cliff bars and jerky with something more shelf stable. Anything in those retort pouches like the tuna would be good to go.
I'm a newbie. What would you suggest that was more shelf stable, and could also withstand freezing or hot temps inside the car?
You can use that sport cap on the smart water to back flush your water filter as well.
Great video!
Great GHB!
what i did with that little pouch for ur light . i put 2 big cans of sterno its a bit tight but it fits and closes
Heads up Sawyer products freeze in low temps...but as long as a quickly get home bag unless it 30below...you should be good😊
Good sugestions
Hey, speaking of Ohio, what do you think about that train derailment deal? Looks bad for ppl and nature.
Yes its horrible and our government is not helping the people at the state or federal level. Very bad!
@The Prepared Wanderer well, not to start any additional controversy but express my opinion, ive heard luke a week ago hey yeah operation clean-up is a total success! We just gonna burn all that carcinogenic material...then days later fish is dead, FEMA is not even there, etc etc..ppl with little kids experiencing health issues, what the hell is this government doing?!? Cover up with a pile of dirt and call it a day. Really. Theyre not telling you ppl of Ohio all the truth there. Go bucks! Demand answers.
Just another coverup by the left…
Good video. I am in the process of revamping my GHB and BOB and this is good info. One question is how I find the list on your site as I could not find it
I thought there was an article with a full list of
I didn’t see anything brightly colored to attract attention..most likely situations would be a breakdown or accident and you needing or wanting to attract attention. Have fun stay safe.
Man. 50 miles. I’d stash a bike at work or a folded bike in my truck. Get home in a day or two.
Bob_BTW here. Wondering if you keep the water bottle always ful, keep a seperate jug that you refresh, or hope to find water along the way.
I always have a 1.5 pint bottle that I fill before going anywhere, sometimes two, depending on how long I figure to be out and about.
Oh, an additional item I suggest is a Ozark folding trowel or a plastic one that is light but stowage awkward.
Stupid question but how did you add the bungee to the front of the bag?
Any fabric store sells elastic cord. Weave it any way you want, usually like a shoe lace, and finish it with a knot or a cord lock. Elastic will eventually fail. The bag will last way longer than the elastic. Be prepared to do it again eventually.
Three or four days of walking to go 50 miles?
I would like to see a little backlash on the " Gucci guys " . Some of the guys I liked to watch , seem to have gone Gucci , reviewing things most people these days cant go near . While other guys I watch are shutting down their channel because the items are getting too expensive . Sad state of affairs these days ...........I blame the government lol .
On point!

Explain once diffrence between Bug out back nd get home bag,
IMO, bugging out bag is essentially prepping to be homeless and living in the woods for a week or months even if needed because your home is no longer safe or usable for whatever reason. The get home bag, unique to each person's travel habits (work included) is the minimal necessary gear to give you the means needed to get from your typical furthest point of travel back to a safe location (friend or home) from which you don't need that bag anymore and are out of survival mode.
Basically speed of minimalism versus long term viability of extra gear.
WHO HERE HAS EVER HAD TO USE 1 OF THESE GET HOME BAGS ???? HONEST QUESTION.
Myself personally, been close to needing one a few times (car broke down and no cell service), but managed it. That said I know some people who legit have had to rough it before after getting stranded. My dad is included in that latter category.
Please somebody explain this youtube idea of a backpack shouldn't look too military, a backpack doesn't make you look military, being in the military makes you look military! Also regardless of the masses, balance your trail foods between protein and carbs, add dried fruits or nuts if you can, eating high proteins with no fats or carbs will make you sluggish in the long run.
Truth
No! Carbs are Good for dispatching the Enemy!!
@@davidcarothers3311 I'm guessing there is a joke in that, I'm just not getting it, oh well my sense of humor is bad anyway.
Not saying I agree but the thinking behind not having a pack that’s camo or has a bunch of molle is to blend in more with the public. Someone sees a military pack might think you’ve got some good stuff they might want to take from you. Mostly applicable in urban situations with a lot of people around. Essentially being more grey man. Again, not saying I agree, just that I understand the thinking.
@@Goldenwithaleash Yeah maybe, but a military style might also send the message this person isn't someone to mess with..In reality I think its one of those YT things someone said and was repeated by other creators until it became the golden rule.
