Nice video. You may also want to checkout the review of Survival Kit on my blog at *garyreviews. com/survival-kit-review/* Thanks. Ddt Leonardo.
The Survival Outpost
By my Gorka 3K and Gorka 4 i love the BARS clothes, i combinat it alltimes with Helikon and i wear the boots from Haix (Scout or Nepal Pro)
I use also gear from Dirct Action.
Mr Polite Polite Sure it is, the Russians went shoot him
we want an update of this bag please!!!
Might sound a little ridiculous but once you get over 50lbs for long distances and you're not used to it, walking poles could make the difference between getting there and not (without strain injuries). I hiked a lot last summer in a boggy area so had to have them but got to appreciate their weight displacement qualities as time went on too. Great bit of Auscam there!
Not ridiculous at all, I've heard others suggest the same.I'm thinking about investing in a set! Thanks for the support, glad you like the Auscam!
At my age walking poles wouldn't cut it, I would need a walker. lol
Then try what I'm trying. For having to carry heavy packs you could buy the Dixon Roller or Monowalker system that hooks to a harness yoke similar to the old LBE check those out. There cost is high so I modifying a hunting cart to serve the same function. Still working on it but heres the links to the above so you have an idea what I'm talking about.

This should help with those of us with age and or bad knees.

I agree, they would be a game changer. To bad they cost so darn much.
@GrizzFawkes44 I only use them on boggy moorlands and you don't get many trees, the ones you do get are often stunted oaks that are fairly water logged, no good for making poles from.
All I can say is you better get more items to take care of your feet... Moleskin minimum of 5 pairs of socks different weights and powder and some witch hazel. After being on your feet all day hiking through God knows what. Also wet wipes. And get a camo hammock sleeping on the cold damp ground gets real old real fast. But great video for sure
I agree about the feet, the kit was surely lacking in that regard. Been a while since I've done long back country trips...since I made the video, I've added moleskin, 2 pairs of wool/poly socks, cotton socks, Walmart special flip flops and talcum powder. What's the witch hazel good for? I probably didn't show the wet wipes, but I have a big pouch stored in the assault pack. I avoid sleeping directly on the ground at all cost. The basha and ridgerest sleeping mat got me covered, although I'm open to trying out a hammock. Just seems the basha is easier and quicker to setup in a pinch.
The Survival Outpost witch hazel is great for sore muscle rub
The active ingredient comes from the American Witch Hazel tree...worth the research...the more you carry in your head, the less in the pack.....here are some links.......www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/w/withaz27.html chestnutherbs.com/tag/medicinal-uses-of-witch-hazel/
A hammock is the fastest way to make and break camp 2 trees with 2 cords for hammock and tarp over. A fire 3 ft away for cooking and your done. Hang your backpack 10 feet up it keeps critters out of food supply. ( 20 to 25 feet hight is needed in bear county)
Alvia vera lotion.
Nice load out on your pack system. Good, clear explanations of the items you wanted to highlight. And I like the reality check of not being a couch potato by working on fitness and knowing your gear by using it. Well done!
I know it’s an old video, and I just read the blog link.
There’s not much I haven’t seen or done in the wilds, but yours is one of the channels I like. No nonsense information that’s reliable.
👍🏻
So many of these CZcams guys ramble on way too much.
Thanks, glad you liked it. Check out the latest INCH bag video for a more civilian vibe.
I couldn't agree with you more on physical fitness.
I'm a 55 year old a type 1 diabetic who was diagnosed with this condition at the age of 2 years. I never allowed my diabetes to hold me back; In fact, this condition only strengthened me resolve to push myself even harder. When I look back on my life, I can truly say that if it were't for my diabetes I might never have accomplished as much as I have. I guess you could say that it's kind of like the proverbial guy who got sand kicked in his face. I never saw myself to be at a disadvantage. In fact, I feel my diabetes gave me an advantage in that it forced me to push harder. If there is one thing that has made exercise difficult for me, it would be my severe scoliosis.
Though my scoliosis prevents me from doing any heavy lifting, and squats are most certainly out of the question. I am able to ride a bicycle and I use cycling as my vehicle to fitness. Just a few years ago, I was still riding an average of 5 hoers every day except on Sunday when I was in church. Every Saturday I'd do a 114 mile solo ride with a 10 mile climb up Mount Baker in Washington State, with some other climbs along the way just for good measure. Most of my miles were solo since I had a hard time finding cyclist that were willing to regularly ride 90 to 120 miles a day. I also was fortunate in that I had the time to put that much time into the sport. Cycling has given me more than sufficient leg strength and endurance to go on the longest hikes with a heavy load, provided I snug up the hip belt on my backpack so as to keep as much of the weight off my back as possible.
Many of us have health issues we have to deal with, but we all have to deal with the hand we were dealt. Most will allow these health issues to prevent them from reaching their goals, while few will turn them into the fuel which drives them further than they would have ever gone without them.
All this to say that there is no excuse for not keeping our bodies fit. Just as important, there's no excuse for not keeping our mind and soul fit either. By the grace of God I can rest in the knowledge of being at peace with him, and knowing that I have taken care of the body he has provided me with. Not only that, but life is so much more enjoyable when we know we have overcome the challenges that have crossed our paths.
This informative video is like a breath of fresh air. It provides useful information on how to stay alive and well in even the worst of circumstances. I really enjoy how you cover the gear, food and water requirements for long term survival, but also touched on the importance of mental and spiritual fitness.
Thank you for posting.
Thanks for sharing your story. Most people would have used those physical issues as a legit excuse but you did the opposite!
The endurance riding is an amazing way to stay fit in all aspects including cardio conditioning of course. Well done. Tell me more about your road bike, I'm a bike nerd. Been riding since a teenager, mainly MTB. Running a Gary Fisher at the moment.
And yes indeed, physical and spiritual fitness is just as important if not more important than the gear you buy. Get the mind right, get the body right first. But that's hard work so people prefer to pull out the wallet, buy a bunch of gear that they never use and consider themselves "prepared"
Well my road bike is old. It's a custom Scandium frame with Campagnolo Chorus drive train. I did get the Campi Record pedals and seat post and my gear ratio is 53/39 for the crank and the cassette is 23 - 11. I was considered a good climber even though my gears were more geared towards flat roads. I guess that's why my leg strength developed so well. Purely by accident, I assure you. There were plenty of times when I wished I had a lower gear ratio in the cassette. Particularly when the gradients went above 10%. When I purchased the bike in 2002, It was the lightest frame on the planet, but by today's standards, it's middle of the rad. The bike weighs in at 16.8 lbs. with the same original Campagnolo Chorus drive train it had back in 2002. All I have replaced since then is the chain, several times of course, tires, and saddle as needed, and of course handlebar tape.
I still usually only ride solo. The last time I went on a group ride, I took the lead and was taken down by a dog that ran in front of me. That mishap cost me over $36,000 in hospital bills. I had a displaced hip fracture. The owners of the dog would have been at fault, but as my luck would have it, We were just about 1/4 miles outside the city limits where the leash law would have been in effect. Funny how a 20 pound dog could ruin someones day. Not to mention the next few months. I love dogs, have a big black Labrador Retriever myself, so I don't blame the dog at all. As hard as I hit it, my first two concerns were my bike, and the dog's welfare.
I'm sure you could tell a few good cycling stories yourself, but that's not what this thread is supposed to be about. Sorry if I got off subject.
That's a solid road bike. If you get a bike with a quality frame up front, it lasts forever. You only have to worry about new drivetrain components, brakes, etc. Crazy story regarding that dog, I've had my share of bike crashes by never anything that intense. Glad to hear you recovered, I imagine your body healed faster than the wallet lol
Yep! your'e absolutely right about the wallet. In 2002, when I got the bike a 2 lb. frame was as light as it got. This frame was also built for me by a master builder and the frame builder is just as important as the frame material. This frame has seen about 250,000 miles, probably more, and has withstood some very hard crashes. That's a testament to it's solid build. This is an alloy frame so I chose to go with a carbon seat post and fork to soften up the road somewhat. Back then, Some of the top Tour de France riders mounted Scandium frames with a similar setup to soften the road vibration. I've considered upgrading to the latest frame materials, but after putting so many miles on it, I just can't make myself part with it. It's like an old friend. An old friend for an old guy I guess. Haha!
The top adjustments on your shoulder straps are called load lifters and they're for adjusting the load so the weight sits on your hips instead of your shoulders... Nice bag btw.
AWESOME AND INSPIRING!!! TY!!!! It started out as a pink and black tote bag with baby wipes in it for my child.... Now I have a 20 lb bugout bag I carry at all times when we go on our trips. And now she just made her first Maxpedition Beefy EDC. I am damn proud of mine and hers now. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR SURROUNDINGS BECAUSE STUFF CAN CHANGE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. I tell her, her best friend is Justin Case!!!
Great video man. Good to see the USMC pack being covered in your video. I've tried a few Bergens/Rucks over the years and I have a loft full of them and by far one of the best is the FILBE/USMC pack. I see in the background you had a British camp style Basha up. Look out for the issue one in dpm camo or mtp or even desert camo. They are bomb proof and also double up as a stretcher.
Yup, I've been through my fair share of packs and the FILBE is by far the best I've owned so far. I barely feel the 70+ lbs. I have a British Mil Issue Basha, but left it out so I could try out this new tarp. Check out the short video I made on my basha here: czcams.com/video/V6M8ccsYOpk/video.html
Thanks for the support!
got my view at red Dawn love that movie the original one of course
2nd one kinda ok...
Great video mate, and a love the Auscam shirt :D You forgot to pack seeds though, so you can set up a food garden once you get settled. They're very lightweight, should be in any INCH bag
Thanks I love that smock too! I approached this video from tactical perspective but the next INCH bag will be focused solely on wilderness survival.
I absolutely love watching this video every once and awhile. Then I watch the building the perfect inch bag of urs with ur exo mt gear pack. However we love ur filbe set up. I own 2 filbes with one on the malice frame with the tactical tailor mods and one vintage filbes. I own so many packs but I just dropped major coin on a kifaru system. After all the pieces and mods I won't tell u what it came to it's ridiculous but I love it and just like ur awesome exo mt gear I'm leaning on a kifaru. It was a huge huge choice whether to go exo, stone glacier ,kuiu or kifaru. It came down to exo and kifaru. And some days I wonder if I shuda gone ur route with exo. But ur videos r classic and we love the ol school still!! Don't lose the filbe!
I did end up giving away the FILBE to a good friend. Currently looking at a replacement such as the TT Malice Pack
@@TheSurvivalOutpost if ur looking at the malice pack I wud say it's a great pack...for certain tasks. It doesn't compress and not really modularity. It's a lil bigger then the traditional Alice pack and the pockets r nice but it only works if those Pocket shape and sizes fit ur gear with the rest of ur gear fitting in the main huge ruck compartment. It's a lot of money and high quality with decent comfort. It's purpose what do u need it for. I own a malice pack and the frame and I'm still working with optimal comfort adjusting so I can enjoy the ride! I wish u the best. I hope ur friend enjoys the filbe.! By the way how's ur exo mt gear doing for u? I'm super interested.
New inch bag is cool and I'm glad to hear you are always keeping it a work in progress
Good video being from the UK and having been in the RAF and army good to see you like the UK issue gear ! Thank you for the video.
Thanks for the support, I have a few friends in the UK and so it shows :D
The Survival Outpost You are also near to people I already know in the US ! :)
This is one of the better videos on CZcams about this subject. Excellent video and keep up the good work!
Thanks, I appreciate the support!
Nice effort, thank you. This kit has to work for you: no one else. You know where you are going to your safe refuge that is stocked with your long term kit. Nice Australian Army gortex jacket - BTW. Mill Bank filter - someone knows what they are doing (very big tick mate). Good food selection, NO MRE, for better health. Possibly add rice / pasta / buck wheat as a meal extended. Reading matter good basic selection, I have just addedd herbs & spices for cooking & medical applications. At 65 I am still learning new tricks. Thanks, Greg
Thanks for the support, nobody is an expert right? Experience is the greatest asset, great point about adding item to extend meal, I'm going to grab some buckwheat next time at the grocery.
Keep going mate. You are on the right track. Keep your private life secure and help others as you can. You are a three percenter and this figure has not changed in 250 years, in all western countries. // If you can lighten your load a bit by rotating heavy items for light models. Old items can got to your BOL refuge store as spares and back up items. // May I suggest a field belt so you can make a light belt rig (AK pouch (great type BTW), IFAK, Food pouch Tool pouch, water bottle, survival kit & poncho - 24 hour endurance around your campsite as you patrol, fish & hunt (you did show all these items in your pack). Kind regards, Greg
For a diy fishing kit use a two liter bottle blank tube. Look it up on amazon. Same principle as the pvc but lighter and a screw top lid. And definitely throw some rooster tails in there, great all around lure. And always braided line. Great loadout by the way!
Perfect, I looked it up and see that's it's a quicker DIY process than the PVC. THanks for the suggestion
Lmfao@prosciutto and olive oil, you're living like a king in the woods!!!!! You must be Italian, I was waiting for that big Italian bread to be pulled out. Great video, you have all the bases covered. You definitely gave me some great ideas. Thank you and good luck!
Lol yes I am Italian...mixed with Irish :D Glad I could provide some good ideas, thanks for the support!
Italians rule, when it comes to food.🇮🇹🇮🇹
dang bro, Russ Mitchell plugged your channel to me to check out your pack. I'm glad he did, I'm sold on the pack. I am all in with molle system packs and have been checking these out for a while. Good review and I sub'd your channel!
Excellent glad to have ya on board. Russ is a good friend of mine. That bag is my favorite and I've been through a few. If you can afford it, get the package deal don't buy separate.
Hey Tennessee prepping brother , Shannon here from GOT2GO PREPARED , love the bag and vid I use ilbe for my inch bag and I'm over due an update myself . Red dawn title is great may have to borrow that if you don't mind , I remember as a kid after that movie packing my first bob and hitting the woods to prepare lol , been doing it ever sense . Keep up the good work and the training !
Great to hear from you, the ILBE Is a great choice, looking forward to the update. Feel free to borrow the title and thanks for the support!
It would be awesome if you did a once a year version of this video. Show us how the bag and your philosophy evolves. If everything goes well, in march it will be a year that i have been working on my INCH bag, and i plan on making a video on my loadout. I continually come back to this video for ideas and inspiration. I'm sure a lot of other people do the same thing. I'm also sure they would like to see a yearly update on your loadout. Anyway it's just an idea to mull over.
Did you see my latest INCH Bag build? czcams.com/video/yvMLFF_PGdw/video.html
you should put all your last resort stuff together in your assault bag incase you have to dump everything but that in a hurry
Not a bad idea!
rnc 181403 yeah it's called a bolt bag. They talk about them on the ITS - imminent tactical solutions CZcams channel. It's a great idea tbh.
Rael Jones I
My "bolt bag" last ditch gear is actually stored in my (many pocket cargo) pants pockets (most of which stays there, and is not used in regular camp) including a last ditch emergency tarp for shelter, a reusable space blanket, a life straw, backup folding blade, empty water bag, folding mini stove, folding cook pot (yep... see link below), etc.. My belt, effectively always on, in a survival situation, has several things I would not want to be without that don't conveniently fit in pants pockets, such as primary blades, metal canteen and pot, and in a belt bag; primary cordage roll, backup fishing kit, tarp and emergency bivy, etc.. I also have a small emergency trauma kit on my belt with some extra supplies in my pack. The pack has a water bladder, primary water filter, a folding saw (Silky Bigboy), food, nice fishing kit, spare ammo, clothing, sleeping gear, primary shelter, etc..
I keep my survival worn clothing, the stuff I would intend to wear in an emergency, in it's own bag along with belt gear and packed pockets, in a separate bag along with my primary pack.
I'm Canadian, so a handgun is pretty much out of the picture. I've got a Chiappa over/under 22/12 gauge for hunting.

It's good to see someone who knows what they are doing. After watching dozens of bug out or INCH bag videos you can tell that 95% or more have never spent a week in the wilderness. Most not even a day. Having a pack correctly fitted makes a massive difference. It can make a 100lb pack feel like a 40lb pack. Maxpedition or 5.11 bags are not designed for hiking more than 1 maybe 2 days. I would carry extra socks. You need two complete changes of clothing and an additional 2 pair underwear and 4 pair socks. Socks you have to change every day in the wilderness but underwear you can wear for two days depending on climate. Anti fungal foot powder is also very important. I use to have a separate winter module which could be strapped to the main pack made up of two smaller modules. The first winter module contained the heavier stuff like food and extra fire making materials. The second winter module was extra clothing, reflective shelter materials and warm sleeping bag with waterproof shell. When I was younger we use to hike for a month at a time maybe restocking with supplies once in both the British summer and winter. It does make it easier if some additional items can be put into modules based upon season making it easier to update the pack throughout the year.
Thanks for the input, like you say, the right pack can make 100lb feel like 40lbs. Those packs are nice you mention, but the lack of exterior frame doesn't work for substantial weight. Taking care of the feet is critical, I had completely forgotten to show the extra pair rolled up in that cold weather bundle. I like the idea of separating out the winter gear into it's own module. I did a ton of backpacking a kid as well, we'd spend a week out at time before we'd head back to home. What's your thoughts on food? I went a bit overboard, mainly to demonstrate how much food one can pack in a bag this size.
On food try to carry as much dry food as possible. Keep the amount of water contained within the food as little as possible. Freeze dried foods have come a long way and will allow you to carry twice the calories for the same weight. Nuts, beans and beef jerkey are great options. Make sure you carry plenty of protein. I use to have a breakdown of sources of calories from fats, proteins, carbohydrates and sugars by percentage based upon season but I would have to reasearch it again. Your fat intake in winter needs to be at least double your summers intake. The biggest mistake people make is not enough protein. We use to mainly hike up and down moutains so we could get water from the odd stream or rain collection or wet grass. Tie two small towels around your ankles and walk through morning wet grass and you can get easily a gallon of water. I am thinking we allowed 2000 calories for summer and 3000 calories for winter eating the most winter calories in the evening. Make sure to rest for one hour after a big meal and drink water to prevent muscle cramps. You can survive on 1200 calories for one or two weeks with weight loss but you will see a decrease in body performance. In starvation mode the mind will not think as clearly.
Protein is vital! I see the same issue with many survival food setups. Lots of fast carbohydrates but protein is lacking. That's a lot of calories you're talking about there, much more than can be carried reasonably in the INCH bag. That's why resupply caches and a proper stocked survival retreat make the difference!. Check out this breakdown of my 2 week food kit, of course it has evolved since then but the basics remain the same. Lots of protein, healthy saturated fats and carbs for quick energy.
You have to consider the terrain being covered. We were burning between 3000 to 4000 calories per day in good weather but only consuming 2000 but we were going up and down mountains. If you are walking on flat smooth surface most of the time then you may only burn 3000 calories. The schedule we followed was to walk 3 days with at least 10 hours walking per day sometimes longer then rest a full day to allow the body to recover. I may be off on my calculations hut there are calculators on line that allows you to work out your daily calorie requirements. Make sure you allow for at least 50% of those requirements. God bless.
Loved the food, books and setup
Nice video. Given the skills to use the presented gear, and it sounds like you've got that covered, you'll probably last a month with just that bag. Add in the fishing and trapping kits, and I give you two to three months. Assuming absolutely nothing goes wrong.Oops. Slip off a ledge. You've just lost your fire kit. What's your backup? Do you have a spare fire kit in a pocket or belt pouch?Wouldn't you know it, the medical kit was with the fire kit. What's your backup? Can you gather medicinal plants from the Forrest? A tree just fell on your tarp and destroyed it. What's your backup? Diff you add two large wool blankets and a hammock, you'll get that backup without adding too much weight and volume.I'd also suggest a couple extra pairs of socks. Wool if possible.What kind of permanent shelter do you plan on building? Do you have the tools and skills to build it, or do you plan on "camping" for the next 40 years? Speaking of tools, you need more of them. Draw knife, froe, adze, awl, and crook knife. That will get you up to medieval technology base. Can you make a wood lathe? How about a fruit press? Grain mill? That's renaissance tech. Do you know how to build a smelter? Forge? Can you make glass?More renaissance tech.You also have no seeds, and man can not live on meat alone. If you don't have a stash of seeds somewhere, you're dead from malnutrition in six months. Once you have those seeds, do you know how to grow them well enough to feed your family twice over? What are you going to do when you run out of ammo? Can you make a bow and arrow? Know how to use them? Can you make a sling? Can you hit a soda can at twenty paces with one? Can you replace your clothing and footwear in the wild with nothing but what you'll use got on you can you even repair the clothing you've already got? Can you tan leather from nothing but the animal you killed? Fur clothes and boots? You mention having paranoid, but not how much. Do you know how to make cordage in the wild? Do you know how to make cheese? Preserve meats when harvested? Can you can foods? Pickle? Can you find salt? Sugar? What you've got there is great for a day or two of water, but how about a years supply of water so you can survive a drought? Can you dig a well? Can you compost? Do you know how to generate electricity? Are your flashlights and radios using rechargeable batteries or capacitors? Otherwise your tech will stop working in a few days if not sooner.
Thing is, people call it an "I'm never coming home" bag, but really have no idea just what exactly that means. It means you need to live the rest of your life on just what you've got, carried, stashed, buried, etc. That's it. Rest of the world might as well not exist anymore. Just you and yours. Maybe a couple of friendly neighbors for the kids to have kids with, hope so anyway... or maybe set it up that way ahead of time.
Part of what I'm talking about is what I call survival in depth. Carry a survival kit on your person, another in that bag (much more comprehensive of course), have another in the car (even more comprehensive), another in your retreat location. Add a dozen rabbits (two males, ten females), the same number of chickens, and a trio of goats (one male and two females) and you've got meat, eggs, and cheese covered. Bees will get you honey which you can use in place of sugar. Seeds get you grains, which means breads and beers. Fruit trees and bushes means jams and preserves, but also ciders and wines. Add a fish species and you've got an aquaponics setup, which means fresh fruits and veggies in the winter if you grow inside your retreat location. Bit of yeast brought with you, and you've got everything you've got today. The rabbits mean rabbit fur and meat. The furs means warm clothing and blankets for winter. Rabbits also make lots of droppings from your kitchen scraps, and that manure is excellent for putting directly on plants without hurting the plants. Chickens are almost as good as rabbits, but give eggs in addition to the meat of course, and will also eat off your kitchen scraps, and are great to have around a homestead as they love eating the bugs you don't like, and if you throw them in your garden before it gets planted, they'll till the ground for you, and add their own fertilizer so you front have to. Goats are milk and cheese and meat (eventually) and they eat brush so you don't really have to feed them much either. Sheep are a bit more work, you've got to sheer them, but otherwise, let them trim your grasses for you, and you get wool to make blankets and sweaters and other warm and fire retardant items from. Cows... unless you've got more than just a few acres, don't waste your time. You'll spend more time growing grasses to feed them than they're worth for the most part, stick to the smaller animals you can keep twenty of as your smallest flocks. You'll never be able to grow enough seed to sprout to fodder for them long term. Add Turkey's and pigs instead. Could also do ducks and geese. Beyond that, read up on permaculture and aquaponics. An ibc tote and a couple of 50 gal drums will provide enough fresh veggies for two to three adults and the occasional fish.
Sorry for rambling abit there, but I guess the idea of the INCH-bag bothers me because it's still just a short term survival kit, with little to no plan on how to actually survive long term. It's like a bug out bag that's got food for a couple of weeks rather than just a couple of days, which is a failure according to its name, unless you're using it to get to a bug out location that supports all those long term survival needs. If you are, it's still a failure of its name, because it's really a 14-day bug out bag. A real INCH-bag is a trailer with all of the above, so it's still a failure because it's not a bag, it's a flippin' trailer! :)
Anyway, looks like a good bag, better than most. Just add them extra socks and keep the extra firesteel in a pocket!
I appreciate all the details and agree 100% that it is probably next to impossible to live "forever" based on the contents of any given INCH bag. You have to have permanent location setup but even at that point, it's still going to take skills and resources to maintain. My INCH bag gets me to where I need to go and a little beyond. From there, it's any mans game as to survival. I think in this modern day and age, the concept of "living off the land" is next to impossible for most. In most situations I would see best option as a mix of wilderness survival supplemented by resources from urban areas, much in the same way Eric Rudolph survived in the NC mountains.
Pretty much dude, there is absolutely NO WAY to have EVERYTHING you possibly need in just a bag. It is physically impossible to carry the weight or volume. That is not the point.... Bags like this are set up to get you where you need to go, and provide you with as much support as possible until you can get to a more permanent location and start the long road to self sustainment. No matter how prepared you might be, there is ALWAYS more to do, more to build, more to scavange, more to make, more to repair, more to cook, more to preserve, more to find, more to do. It is impossible for 1 person to do it all.
The ONLY way to survive long-term, TRULY long term, is to have/form a group of people, find a secure place to "set up shop" and begin the never ending task of fortifications/security and all of the other MILLION aspects (cleaning,cooking, sewing, metal working, you know what i mean). And you also have to understand the aspect of TRUE 24Hr security. That means 3 secure security positions(minimum) with overlapping fields of fire, 1-2 people in each position, working set shifts, you would need atleast 3-6 people at a time, 6 hours each for 4 shifts meaning 12-24 people working security daily... The actual logistics of it are crazy. You add in all the other factors, and you need a sizable community in order to pull it off. Otherwise, all your work ends up going to someone else when they walk right in and TAKE it all from you. True 24Hr security is a nightmare in and of itself.
I usually don't reply but you've really put time into reminding us all had far back we'd go if the US turned into a wasteland.
Even in a trailer most people will be dead within days, only groups that grow quickly and build communities will last. Those communities will be blacksmiths, gardeners, nurses, military and a few thrifty individuals that we all hope to gain a spot in.
And all of those groups will have a leader... there will be a few, hopefully if individuals like this guy that want a constitutional republic back and treat our community the way our founders Intended too.
In the end it will come down to battles between warlords and attempted liberty revivalists... and that's of course considering we somehow kill every blue helmet UN soldier that will be out within two weeks and THEN we have to kill every russian and Chinese army that converges on our empty property to burn all the dead bodies and use our oil.
The real truth is we will not last without accepting intervention from the New World Order.. the UN. The bilderberg group. And you already know as well as I do that that those guys already had it all mapped out 100yrs ago and are sitting back laughing as all our conversations get red flagged by the NSA and screened by computers.
We're all on the the NWOs terrorist watchlist just by using any of these words online.. you realize that right?
@@BearsArms45 truth if i ever heard any lol. We all have to start somewhere. I get depressed when i think about what it actually takes to survive SHTF long term. I just started a year ago and have spent thousands of dollars and I'm nowhere near where i want to be. It's a daunting task. You're also right about the NWO flagging us and monitoring us. I approach long term survival from a Christian point of view. We are close to the Tribulation and things will build up like they are now in 2020. The current NWO will fall so the True Luciferian New World Order will be accepted by the majority of mankind. My goal isn't to live forever, but have a system to survive 3 to 7 years with my wife, two kids, and whoever else comes with me. Seeing as preppers, Christians, and conspiracy theorists will be the new terrorists and threat to the system, we will be hunted down and exterminated. The last 3 and a half years of the 7 year tribulation will be the worst. Hopefully the Christians will be raptured outta here by then, but the bible isn't very clear on that. Am i willing to bet my life and my family's life on my beliefs? You betcha, because if i am spiritually speaking wrong, then we are all just worm food and there's no real point or desire to live a life as shitty as that. By creating a strategy to survive what's coming, which religion aside, is most definitely coming, we are all making a huge gamble with our lives. If it's true SHTF and the collapse of civilization, i really don't see mankind coming back from it. I guess time will tell who is right and wrong. Maybe we will all be wrong and nothing like that ever happens. Hopefully right? Agenda 21 and 2030 Sustainable Development spells out exactly what the globalists want to carry out, and it's not pretty.
You should create a CZcams channel and teach everyone how to do the things you mentioned. I would subscribe for sure
Nice one mate..
The extra ( black) water bottle and cup.. The bottle is the indestructible Brit Army 58 pattern issue.. Yes issued in 1958. however, the cup you have is a gem, a real bit of history.. Not issued and you could only get from a Civilian firm name of "Survival Aids" which start around 1985 ish.. it was the first attempt as a decent cup for the British Army water bottle as the one on issue was a black plastic one silver metal handles. the one you have is metal wif the anti burn lip plastic lip, which you have to remember to take off when using an army issues hexamine cooker as the flames at times lips up the cup and starts to melt the plastic rim.. not seen one in yeas and never one in the USA
That's awesome, thanks for the history lesson :D I can thank Russ for that bit of gear. My goto patrol cookset. Thanks for info about the plastic lip, I'll make sure to pop it off
Like your bag set up and how you use pack cubes and stuff sacs.
A efficient fighter is a faster fighter.
I have been makeing bug out bags since the age of 16 and I still have bug out bags at 61.
I'm no longer packing those 100+ pound packs.
I started useing tactical dogs with there own pack loads just for them in the early 1980s.
Best radar early warning and keeping strangers out of your personal zone. Furry missels are no joke. There even good at starting or ending a attack before it begins. Traing when to be quite and observe extremely important. Along with head and hand commands.
You can do these with your best friend while you're training and involving them. Dog trainers are good but there not the dogs owner who he want to make happy.
And of course you can never carry enough ammunition.
Thanks for posting and sharing your thoughts and info.
Hi ! What type of bag exactly did you use to lower the signature of the color of your mattress; 2 little camo bag or a big bag ? I have the same mattress and i'm searching for the same tactical bag that you have.
Your talking about the big DPM bag that I use to stow my sleeping pad? If so I got that from a friend in the UK, check out some UK sites or Ebay for DPM camo stuff sack or dry bag. Thanks for the support!
If I’m “never coming home”, I’m gonna take more than one knife, hatchet, and saw. And a hella lot more fire redundancy.
But that’s me.
What else are you packing ?
The Survival Outpost
Your kit is pretty comprehensive overall. I like your choices for most of the items. Such as the steel canteen and cup. And a hygiene kit is something that many forget to carry.
And I’m not one of those who will say it’s too heavy. I always pack heavy myself.
I’ve spent weeks living out of my pack a number of times and always thought it would be bad to lose or break an essential tool without having a backup. Especially if I am not able to just get another from home.
I think three knives are a minimum. A large blade, 10-12 inches. A medium to small blade, 4-7 inches. And a folding knife with a serrated blade.
I have many ‘go-bags’ as I’ve been building (and using) them as a hobby since 1977.
My main kit (first choice) has a TOPS Armageddon. A TOPS Brakimo. And a Spydero Mariner (serrated) with stainless steel handles.
Fire is important and although I have made friction fire, it’s not always easily available. Ferro Rods and steel strikers can be included in many internal kits. And a good magnifying lens uses no resources other than Sunlight. I always carry a lighter but in 42 years of hiking, camping, and testing wilderness skills, I have never used one.
...we used to just call it camping.
@@arctodussimus6198 i have the TOPS Brakimo as well and my folder is a Kershaw Leek in OD Green, i don't use a large chopper knife, but i have a Husqvarna 26" Multipurpose Forest Axe. Silky Big Boy 2000 XL folding saw and Leatherman Supertool 300 rounds out my tools. I have my INCH loadout in the marpat ILBE main rucksack and assault pack. Hopefully in the very near future I'll have a video on here. I'd really like to see your loadout in a video. I'm always searching for ideas. I love my Brakimo, best knife I've ever owned.
Dear Vaseline and a heavy glass magnifying lens works as well as matches and has other uses.you only need a ray of sunshine. It really helps if wood is wet or green.( Vaseline will help dry shred wood in the rain.)and you only need a old lamp wick to make a candle out of it.
I keep a couple of the "YO YO " automatic fishing reels in my pack . Great video.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I'll check those reels.
Same. Have 2.
Definitely!
I use yo-yos every time I go out on the boat regardless what I’m out there doing always gives you a chance to catch fish without having to even fish
Interesting seeing our Aussie pattern in your environment, looks like it does a really good job with the fall leaves.
It's a perfect match for this time of year
One of the best kits I've seen on CZcams!
Thanks!
First let me say I'm really liking your vids, your very personable, with well thought out and put together explanations...with your weapon lack explained, I have a few suggestions...things for Research: pemmican, food preserving, wild medicinal and edible plants, tannin water for wound and hygiene, salves and other medicinals...exchange quinoa for rice {more nutrition}...Additions: shamwow type cloth for water collection, bathing, wound dressing, one {or more} of the hybrid solar flashlights...If one is never coming back, one should learn self Sustainability...Great Video, Thank You.....
Uncas
Great input! Never even considering using a Shamwow for water collection, spot on!
Here is an idea for you learn Native American Indian weapon and tool making because in the event of a Red Dawn Senario, you can hunt wild game with a Native American Indian bow and arrows hints saving your firearm ammo for defensive/offensive situations. Not to mention the bow and arrow hunting gets you the food without the attention of everybody else knowing you position.
I strongly agree, you can only carry so much food. At some point, whether along the course of the journey or later at a secure location - one will have to be able to hunt silently. Thanks
Ultimate fishing kit. Trout Magnet, Trout Slayer kits. They're ultra small, already loaded with jig head hooks as well as having tiny little cases to hold everything. You could fit them in your front shirt pocket and I've caught everything from bass and sunnies all the way up to monster brown and rainbow trout on them. All you would need aside from that is a spool of some 2-4# fluorocarbon line to go with it. I've been an avid and obsessed fisherman for my entire life and this is what I choose for fresh water in every emergency situation. No bait needed. No wasted food bits and fast action fishing for a quick meal. They carry them at bass pro as well as dicks. I've actually been in Murfreesboro, Hendersonville from NY for work for the last week now and you have some nice country out here. Love your vids. Thanks
Awesome thanks for the details! I used to fish quite a bit back in Florida but that was years ago and I kinda forgot stuff :)
Yes thats my area, it is pretty nice here, thanks!
Good Video! Thank You for Emphasizing the Physical Fitness Required to handle such a Heavy Loadout. A kit that heavy is Not For Everyone. My hat is off to you and the others who are training at those weights. For me, I'm 138 lbs and have to adopt a Light Fighter mind set with the intent of Defending In Place. My vehicle bears the brunt of my load and has a Get Home Bag (Sub 25 lbs w/Water).
Thanks Leo, physical fitness is a KEY component to a well rounded survival strategy. Training with the classic lifts, bench press, squat and deadlifts are a great asset. I started being able to deadlift 95lbs and over the course of 4 years built up to pulling 400+. I'm only 5'6, 170 so you can def do the same, just takes time and dedication. Good luck and nice work on keeping your GHB light.
Dr. Bonner's soap its shampoo, tooth paste, shave cream, laundry detergent, dish soap and if you get the peppermint one its stronger than coffee when you get it in the nether regions in the morning. A drop goes a long way and I keep an ounce of it in a nalgene bottle
Cool, thanks for the input, great idea!
Great video...been waiting for it! Can't carry as much weight as you due to age and a troubled knee...but working on it. Figure in a real scenario I would probably be limited to a 9mm pistol and a .22 rifle...and hope for the best. On the water side, Corporal's Corner reviewed NDUR canteens about a year ago, I think...they use Seychelle filters...they are limited in their filter capacity (100 gallons) but the advantage is that they filter chemical contaminants as well as biological...which is an advantage even over boiling. I wonder if it would be worth carrying one of those (they come in a classic military style canteen as well as water bottle style) in addition to the Sawyer for occasions when you might have reason to believe that your water is chemically contaminated, but have no option but to use it? Thank you for taking the time and doing such a great job...
Thanks for the support! It really depends on the scenario. For this video I envisioned the Red Dawn concept of guerrilla warfare and hostile forces. That being said I went with my AK and Glock for primary weapons. If you're planning for more of a long term survival situation without hostile forces, I like the idea of the .22 rifle and pistol. Great point about the NDUR canteens, I totally forgot about their capability to filter chemical & bio. I'd say that is worthwhile addition. I'm working on upgrades for the INCH which I'll demo in January. Meanwhile stay tuned for the next video which is a detailed review of my Vehicle Evac Food Kit.
Happy to see a fellow middle Tennessean into survival. Most of the channels are West Tennessee or Eastern Carolinas. If you ever want to do a meet up give me a shout. Like the food options. That's allot of calories for what's there.
Unfortunately I had to move a few years back. Miss hiking the Smokies and in the local Nashville area, did a lot of urban exploring.
Still watching this video! I’m currently rockin the Markhor 45 with two 6 litre Savotta pouches on the sides. It’s the most modable pack currently on the market imo. The Veshmeshok will/does go with me if I’m out for more than an overnighter. Great video thanks
That name didn't ring a bell so I googled it...wow that is a slick bag and your right, so many options for modification. I really like the rifle carry config.
Hey I love your video's man you are so cool you are showing how fun the great outdoors are I hope you cep putting out amazing video
Thanks James glad ya like the content...no plans on quitting 👍

Awesome thanks for the support, stay tuned!
One of the first time I ever seen bug out bags contain a lot of food good job
Thanks, figured I'd challenge myself to see how much food I could pack without going overboard in the process
Food is life and enough food will allow you to get started on setting up for more of a long-term I have the standard ilbe pack but haven't loaded that one up yet right now I'm just using a 72-hour bag made from a Alice medium
A weapons free day is a sad day.
It was sad indeed, thankfully now I've been able to track down some WMA's where I can play Rambo at ease :D
Unless it's a school day lol.
Always carry. You don't need permission from our servants
Even a 10/22 takedown light n ammo is cheap
Nice kit.Arguably it’s better start heavy - you can always dump stuff to make it lighter.Problem is under stress there’s a greater chance of injuring yourself carrying 80lb.One wrong step and knee or ankle twisted will take you out of the game.You need a bottle of iodine in the med kit.
Very helpful video,I’m just doing my long term BOB and struggling to keep weight down.
Thanks for the comment, after this video I started focused on cutting weight all around. Now all my "INCH" bags come in between 50-60lbs. I focus on the 5 C's first and then layer on what I need for the "Mission". The rest of the important gear can be cached or stored at my destination. The sleep system can add a ton of weight so I would strongly suggest looking into how to lighten that and ditch your sleeping bag. Of course this depends on your AO, for me in the deep south I can get away with no sleeping bag in winter and be fine with heavy thermal layers, bivy sack and woobie.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost
I agree about the sleep system,some thought needs to go into it.I find the ultralight backpacking videos on CZcams very helpful in that regard - learn from the specialists.
Food is almost always going to be the limiting factor,depending where you are of course.Problem will be getting food while remaining low profile.Shooting game sounds great in theory but if you’re bugging out the last thing you want is attracting attention to your location,it’s other people that will be the real danger.Same goes for lighting fires at night - unless you’re DEEP in the woods,it will be a beacon for possible looters.
As you mentioned each person will add to or design based on their skill and level of knowledge. What jumped out was ur selection of books. Very Impressed !!! Might suggest the Ultimate Survival medicine Guide by Joseph Alton, MD.
Warm Regards- Randall, Army Vet.
Great suggestion, thanks Randall~
how long does that packaged food last? im in the midst of making my own bag, I have MRE's and cliff bars this is the first video that has packaged meet and rice that I have seen so how long does it last?
Mitch Andrews the meat has a 6 month shelf life and the rice is 6-12 months and 1-2 years when frozen. I'm all about variety in my food supply. Good luck with your build!
add yo-yo fishing auto reel they can be used for traps and fishing a dozen is less than a pound. the same folks who make your edible guide makes mushroom ID guide and animal track guides
I put a book with slick pages for edibles in my pack
That tells of even edible flowers, mushrooms, trees, and plants and gives some recipes in the back of the book for wild edibles. I wish the book had some in-depth on their medicinal uses though. It has some but not much.I'm thinking though about looking for a book that does go more in-depth about medicinal plants though. Also have a pocket Bible and a survival ref book with slick pages in case I have memory loss at a bad time. Or in case my daughter is with me and there might be something I've missed that she can look up.
Good call, i carry fishing tackle, 3 yoyo's, gill net, and conibear 110's and 220's. Along with firearms, i think I have food procurement covered. Add in a wild edibles/medicinals book and heirloom seeds and that's about the best one can hope for.
Good video but where's the jerky? Pure protein and keeps forever!
Does that baeofeng radio run off double aa batteries? Or if not is there a usb recharge port?
It has a charger, would be awesome if it had usb port
Was wondering if it would be a good idea to pack in vegetable seeds? If you post up at a good pace maybe seeds wood be good to have?
Not a bad idea, takes up basically no space at all. Care would have to be taken to bring seeds that can grow in the environment you will be living in.
Should I had a suture set Neosporin and burn cream to your medical kit
I had to make a few executive designs for this IFAK..I left out my suture kit and tube of neosporin. I have some of generic anti baterial cream packets in the small booboo kit.
The Survival Outpost I keep a surgical stapler and and staples also. No added weight to speak of and sutures or super glue are really only good for small wounds you can do yourself. Something substantial and you better have a buddy with you to sew you up or have a stapler! Find em pretty cheap on eBay.
Thanks for the vid, lots of weight but as you said you train!
I'd love to drop down to 60lbs. But in order to make that happen, I'd have to cut the food in half, invest in a lighter sleeping bag and do some other mods. Did about 5 miles the day I filmed this video. It's heavy, not saying I didn't feel the weight, but it wasn't a deal breaker either. The frame and shoulder support system plays a huge role! Thanks for the support!
The Survival Outpost I hike 30ish miles of the Appalachian trail every summer during my summer break (have done it 5 summers in a row now starting the summer after my junior year in high school) and after the first year I've learned the importance of packing light! I have my B.O.B./G.H.B. my bag is both because I go to university 200 miles away from the majority of my group. So my bag is a both. Luckily for me, if a red dawn situation happens, I have an older motorcycle that gets around 40 MPG, and has a 6 gallon tank. I have one person in my group who lives just about at the half way point to where our bug out location is, and have a stash in his back yard (obviously he'd leave right away) but i would have the food and supplies waiting if I was unablen to ride straight to my location.
But for real, invest in more mountain house stuff, or even civilian MRE's. The mountain house is really light weight or the calorie to weight ratio on the MRE's is MUCH better!
You have covered a whole lot of topics here. The detailed manner on which you've shown what's really important in a survival scenario is absolutely commendable. Thanks, man.I m not very religious but I think it was cool you got that bible included with them survival stuff. That entire bag set up of about 300 dollars seem pretty steep for me....but after you've shown it all inside out...looks like it's worth it...totally.Take care n Merry Christmas🎅🏡
Thanks glad you liked it. It is a bit pricey, but be sure that the entire kit was acquired over time and experience. Merry Christmas to you as well!
Love the kit. Just a few things I would recommend first off if u are in an INCH situation I think it's safe to say certain things should be left out bc they can be either made or are easily disposed of. I also think you need to think about what u will do once certain things run out of batteries, fuel as well. I would ditch the stove and fuel. If You want get something like an emberlit that just uses wood. I would also ditch the tent stakes, you can make them. I would recommend investing in a good solar/crank flashlight and maybe a lucia hanging solar light. Both very good and will outlast your battery operated flashlights. I only carry one headlamp with one set of backup batteries. As you know the weight adds up. Great vid!
Thanks for the input. The stove is actually multi fuel capable so I can burn wood or use fuel. Using fuel is great when you want NO smoke signature and don't want to leave a trace so thats why I included a fuel bottle w / the Esbit. The tent stakes are way to bulky and heavy, I've replaced those with ultralight titanium stakes because once again I want to leave no trace. The crank flashlight is a great idea, I just have been able to find one of decent quality, had two and both broke after minor use...got any suggestions?
I have 2. One made my energizer actually that is about 7 years old and still works great. It has solar and crank capabilities and also has an integrated clip so u can attach it to a strap etc. my better one is made by Secur. I believe I ordered it online from Best Buy actually. It is solar and crank powered with several settings and is also water proof.
Add a solar panel recharge system
Not a bad idea! Got any suggestions on a specific brand?
There are hundreds of panels u need to choose the system for your electronics
I like Goal Zero but after a bad experience with their battery pack falling apart, I gotta look at a different brand.
check out this at ben living survival this is the system that i use
Choetech 19W Solar Panel & USB Battery Bank
will do, I'll have a look, Ben has a great channel, lots of awesome reviews
Excellent brother, really like that the load out... There are a few differences, but all that goes to personal preference. Message me if you want some pointer on how to capitalize on video's like this... Thanks bro!!
Thanks glad you liked it. You know how it goes, builds like this can always get better and they should quite honestly evolve over time.
Glad I watched this, I've toyed with coffee filters and also a tea strainer before but the millbank bag seems great. Have to get one now :)
Looks like a usefull gear selection, that needs a little addons like you said (fishing kit, etc).
But i would repack the gear.
Like the map and compass on my body.
Change the admin pouch out with the med-kit. And put the tourniquet on the outside in the "Bo-bo-bag" pouch.
Like the "rule of 3" in survival (3 min without oxygen, 3 hour without shelter, etc) you should set up your gear in the same priorities. But on body, in load-bearing-rig, 72-hour pack and recon pack.
Get a soldier with reconnaissance training to teach you how to set it up, and lighten your load (sewing kit, tool pack, etc)
Keep up the good work and keep on training.
I agree, basically you're talking about utilizing the line system for keeping the gear organized. I made some judgement calls on how I packed my first line kit and 2nd line. I was very familiar w/ the area so the map and compass didn't go on my person. However that could change depending on the situation. In regards to 2nd line AKA chest rig, I did have a wonderful HSGI bleeder pouch which held my trauma kit, but alas it was misplaced :( so I had to order another one. Not sure how much weight I lose, everything is essential items and to be honest some was lacking such as extra socks. I did enough miles with full battle rattle to know that socks are vital asset! Stay tuned for more upgrades in the future, meanwhile check out this write up on the Line System: blog.thesurvivaloutpost.com/how-to-organize-your-bugout-gear/
Man I hadn't seen u before I will sub, I carry a bible too. I'd love to get a Filbe too
Glad to have you onboard..check Ebay for the FILBE
The Tech Man You're right. I've done it. Smokes great
I have the Large Molle 2 ruck and thinking of buying a Large ALICE with frame and sell my Molle 2and the butt pack and assault pack that goes with the Molle 2. I put a foam knee pad and small cutting board in my assault pack though for the stiffner and foam padding. It just made better sense, as my assault pack didn't come with either.
@@The-Tech-Man Bible paper makes excellent rolling paper and decent toilet paper. Personally, I would get a bunch of those toilet paper tablets. They come a bunch of them in a watertight, plastic tube with a gasket. You can dampen them. pull them open into a strong towel about 3/4 the size of a paper towel, and many tablets are easy to carry
Best bow to carry is by SAS-survival archery systems. It weighs nothing, packs down to nothing even with break down arrows.
Never heard of that brand, will check it out, thanks!
This one right? www.survivalarcherysystems.com/
You're welcome sir !!! I guarantee that it will blow you away.
My issue isn't pack weight, but the length of the bag. I'm 5' and have an incredibly short torso, so any bag large enough to carry a substantial amount of gear hits me mid-thigh! Thankfully, I'm not a delicate petite, but built like a brick shit house and can haul a heavy load. Do you have any suggestions for short but roomy bags?
Here's a great article that should help you narrow down the choices: www.outdoorgearlab.com/Backpacks-Womens-Reviews
The Survival Outpost Great article with many good options. Thanks for the info!!
One thing I heard. On the food, since it is "consumable" your pack gets lighter as you go through the days. Nice video, good luck.
Good tip!
If this is for a long term survival. Don't slack on tools. dunno how much experience you've had just chuck in a ripsaw, tenon saw, set of chisels and a mallet along with a hatchet. I say this because with that you can build yourself a proper small little hut without having to look for those tools. Survival is more than just guns, knives and paracord!
Those are all great tools, but more suited for a static location vs my pack. My plan is to drive to my location, if I have to hump the pack on foot so be it. But I'm working on a cache setup on the evac route.
Ahh that's a smart idea! Not like you're gunna be making anything drastic, but since your pack isn't like for long term, you could instead make your own "chain" saw. Using a chainsaw chain and two wooden cogs, it'll let you cut down some twigs!
That would be easy to hang on the outside of my pack, I like it! Appreciate the support
All good man keep up the quality vids man!
It's not somuch the 'commies' I am worried about. It's our own Government!!!!!
The communists are in our government :D
Lol what's the difference?
Democrats
Elites and private sector fat cats have controlled and subverted the power of the people and the government for generations. They have taken the very constitution that our freedoms are predicated on and wiped their asses with it.
I would recommend a suture kit and bactine. Get those mid level cuts under control . Practice on old scraps of
Leather . The practice also helps when you have clothing and gear repairs . Great vid thanks for all the info
I do have a suture kit and bactine, debated whether to include it, but decided against it due to weight. I have some Steri Strips that I hope can work in a pinch. Thanks for the support!
What kind of map case is that at the end?
I 150% agree with the Bible and the version of it. Thanks for the video.

What a difference from the first inch video, some good kit changes especially the food and calories intake. Some well thought out bit's of kit.good to see some of the kit I sent you was useful. Atb Russ.
Thanks, it's been a good evolution. I debating waiting to finish off the fishing kit and snares, but couldn't hold off anymore. I'll probably do a short update in a month or so with the upgrades. Thanks for the support Russ!
Great video, I have a few suggestions for you, 1, go to the craft section in Walmart look for crafting wire get the 24 to 28 gauge wire it has a few uses like making small game snares and tying things together you get a good amount for around 3 dollars 2, a settlers wrench is to have you can make bush tables and seats 3, I put coffee filters and a handful of rubber bands in my canteen pouch so when I get dirty water I put the filter over the opening of my water container to filter out the big stuff from going into the container 3,start a bow and arrow kit it will be good for when you run out of bullets and when you get a bow go for a recurve bow or crossbow that way you can restring it yourself and get replacement string for it 4, when doing a fishing kit just get the basic stuff like 10 lb test line perch hooks and sinkers and foam corks/bobber they last longer than plastic ones and get a fish stringer and if you have gators around get a few gator hooks 5, I have a few of those plastic sacks that that oranges come in I use them for making crawfish traps and using for washing clothes in I also have a few of the crawfish sacks for bigger crawfish traps 6,throw in some finger nail and toenail clippers in the med kit
Thanks I appreciate those details! My pack has changed quite a bit since this video and rn I'm doing a new build and a new video so I'll be incorporating some of your input.
A little more than 1 year ago Chris from prepared mind 101 channel had a connection where you could get the ILBE system complete for around 50-60 bucks.This included the hydration pack and radio bag.I hesitated and missed out Oh well.Got me a real nice 120l British Bergen brand new for 38 bucks so cant cry too much!
That's a damn good deal, but that bergen is great, can't complain right? What's your opinion of the hip belt and shoulder straps? I have PLCE Issue bergen in 120L...it's a bit uncomfortable loaded up with more than 50lbs.
Straps could always be a little more beefy but if you wear your pack properly most of the weight should be on your hips and some on your shoulders.Its in DPM pattern which I do not like but can be picky about a pack I can carry well over 200+ lbs in for under 40 bucks brand new.Now looking to get me a ministry of defense MK 4 knife and a basha.Been looking for the MTP/multicam basha but all I have been finding is DPM LOL.Some day!
Good luck in your hunt, I have no problem finding DPM either hahaha. I have some MTP on ebay, check there! 200lbs in a pack, what are you carrying???
Thanks I appreciate the support! I agree about the Gortex sleeping bag cover. Got that on the list of changes and a bivy shelter. The bivy shelter will replace the tarp, providing more protection from the elements and quicker to setup. Stay tuned for an update video that shows off the INCH gear in my PLCE 120L Bergen.
That's a great combo. What kind of air mattress are you using? The tarp does have some big advantages including the ability to configure in multiple setups.
Thanks for mentioning the KJV. Bible. I'm with you on insisting on the non watered down version.
What is the alarm you use for perimeter security?
I think between your INCH bag/long term bugout bag video along with 3 River Blades winter and summer bugout bag videos are the best on CZcams. You have given me alot of good ideas for my own INCH bag, although I have an entire INCH system, dedicated food bag, dedicated medical bag, and dedicated ammo bag, my wife and 2 kids also have INCH bags. The dedicated bags along with other gear goes in an all terrain cart. Lastly, i plan on putting some caches at my bug out locations. I have 3 bugout spots that are progressively more remote. Once i get the system somewhat finished, I'll put some videos out detailing my set up. So you're a Volunteer? I live not far from Knoxville. You ever been to the Hermitage? I've always wanted to go there. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration and if SHTF occurs and you find yourself in east Tennessee, you're welcome in my camp dude.
Thanks, I appreciate that a lot Joey, be sure to check out my latest INCH bag build which is my best IMO czcams.com/video/yvMLFF_PGdw/video.html. You got the system covered well including the caching strategy which is VITAL. I used to live in Knoxville and then moved to Nashville back in 2016. Very familiar with the Knoxville area and have friends there. Spent lots of time in the Smoky Mountains backcountry. Love that area. Visited Hermitage before I moved. Thanks for the invite. If my schedule permits I may be coming up to the Smokies late this year, I'll have to remember to touch base with you.
Also, I just activated my Patreon channel, haven't announced it yet officially would love your support. I'm getting some new content setup since CZcams likes to restrict some of what I like to talk about.

i agree snack food junky tators cant pack the bid loads. i go to the gym 4 days a week to kepp fit fit so i can do with my inch bag. my inch bag has 3 days of food 60 days of coffee tea, seeds to plant, 5 pds of oatmeal, 5 pds of wheat, 5 pds of rice why NEVER COMING HOME. some veitnam vets packed to went into the cascade mountains and inched, i remember my 15 and a half months in NAM.......never coming home,so it seemed. i want the seeds cause i'll plant them for the long term as well as the grains. if stored for the long term with care the grains will last 20 years, most likely they will bw planted and eaten over and over every fall and spring. are americans lazy eating convrinance quick foods
That's one hellva an experience, thanks for sharing! I agree about seeds. I have a few caches setup with exactly rice/beans/oatmeal
Stop saying things like "OTC Meds" there is no need of abbreviations. If you mean 'over the counter' then fuckin' say it.
lol
Ken Isbell lol you might wanna get on some otc meds if this pisses you off
Need some OTC burn cream. 😂👌
why are you so triggerd???
All my packs integrate into a pack system like yours they work the best it’s like a fully detachable hybrid bag everything is modular it works really well bc it gives you options for all types of scenarios including a situation if I have to drop non essential gear (hopefully never have to)
what type of pack system do you have?
@@TheSurvivalOutpost after watching your videos I’m realizing something I went with high end hiking packs they are very comfortable and have amazing features but now that I’m watching your videos I see that packs for sthf have to be bombproof im using an ascend camelbak smaller pack system that integrates to my alpine Lowe bag I learned that moving fast and ultra light is super important but idk I may need something more rugged I’m looking into mystery ranch as an option but they are insanely expensive. Basically what you need is a full combat kit load out bc sthf is going to look a lot like Ukraine only way way worse.
+The Survival Outpost where did you that map carrier case at 26:00?
Got it from a friend in the UK
You just got a new sub from GA! Great video!
Thanks!
I love the dual camo outfit. I wish they had one with atacs au/fg. Amazing pack, thanks for the video.
Thanks, glad you liked it. It's a great outfit, got my camo fashion on point 😂
where did you get the DTOM patch?
So that is the Aqua Quest Defender Camo Tarp, what size is it?
Good eye, that is the Defender Tarp in 13x10
Nice one mate, I know you have rifles but what would you bring to secure food for a long term situation, I'm about to do a video on this subject and would choose my air rifle or .22 reason being I can carry alot of ammo and hunt small game
I like the .22 survival rifle. Or an air gun. In my current INCH bag build I have a .22 pellet gun which is very effective -> czcams.com/video/yvMLFF_PGdw/video.html
Do you have an updated video? You have some great ideas wanted to see if you expanded on this pack. I use PB2 (powered peanut butter) as another food item as well as for bait for traps. Great video.
I'm working on a new INCH bag, hoping to push out a new video in a month or so. That PB2 is a great idea for bait, I'm stealing that one. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
The Survival Outpost also i use rat traps in forks of trees for tree rats the pb2 is perfect i personally carry four traps, also the smaller bags for your med bag and such look at putting a name on them such as med, tools, and fire it does help save some time. Again great ideas.
wife and i love the outdoors . 25+ years hiking camping etc . our longest hiking trip was 5 days . we figure our packs can be used as BOB . our packs dont have a frame ( lighter) and didnt cost us $ 300 . we carry a stove that uses fuel tabs or sticks of wood . carry extra tabs for fire starter . food about the same we added 1-3 packs of oatmeal . shelter have a 2-3 man tent no poles . main line tie between 2 trees stake 4 corners stake down 4 guide lines first aid kit we added nail clippers baby powder Q tips vaseline multi use chap lips burns fire starter . dont carry alarms . soap and shampoo use body wash . for a fishing rod cut a 5-7 ft stick with 5-7 ft line and hook done it and caught fish . besides a hand gun sometimes i carry a 10 22 . lite quite small game
i grew up primitive camping and hiking w/ my parents. our packs were basically bug out bags without the tactical flare.
Ah I gotta have some of those reversible camo pants and top, do they come in 40 inch waist? And large top for a big boy?
Check on Ebay for SSO Partizan Camo
The Survival Outpost thanks
The carpenter sharpener stood out to me. Thank you
glad you liked it.
Great put together kit. I would suggest copies of essential identification (drivers license, passport, work licenses, copies of insurance policy face sheets, bank accounts, kids birth certificates, and if you have space, more ID materials and family photos). Keep a copy of major identification and make copies of the rest on thumb drives.
excellent suggestions.
what should I use as a pack if I only have 30$? I can't afford a big nice mil surplus pack
I'd suggest this bag from 3V gear. Worth saving up for and will serve you well for many years. thesurvivaloutpost.com/collections/homepage/products/3v-gear-paratus
I'm just a normal camping junkie and I love military surplus gears especially packs for backpacking trips around my area. I have good old ALICE packs, the Army's MOLLE2 large rucksack, the assault pack, USMC ILBE mainpack and the whole FILBE system like you do. As far as for comfortness, ILBE mainpack is the best! but if we talk about the modularity, FILBE will serve the purpose very good :) I've heard FILBE frame which is 1606 downeast, hard 'plastic', breaks in the long harsh run..you could get a good old steel ALICE frame for backup just in case. btw enjoyed ur video, keep em up!
You have a basically all the same gear I have lol. I first picked up the MOLLE 2 years ago, the entire RIfleman system. Then had an ILBE and now have settled on the FILBE. Less straps and I like how I can attach my assault pack directly to the top. The plastic frames could break in very cold weather I've heard, but if it's good enough for my fellow Marines in various warzones around the world, its good enough for me :D
Thanks for watching...and yeah I need an Alice frame!
Where did you acquire the map cover/holder? I've been looking for a good one for a long time.
Got it from a friend in the UK, it's British Army surplus. Maybe check on UK websites or ebay, might get lucky
The Survival Outpost Thanks man, I'll check it out.
i haven't read through the comments so someone may have already asked ... what does the basic pack , with the day pack and empty hydration pack weigh ? plus i see you have individual pouches for gear as well .
not trying to get at you , just asking . i'm fairly new to backpacking having always been a car/truck camper . and i'm trying to find a pack i'm happy with . rugged , decent size , not too heavy . seems most in that criteria are around 6 lb +/- .
just looking for info , not trying to " break your balls " as cartman would say .
The main pack weights in at 51lbs iirc. Any INCH bag or term sustainment system will weigh about 50-70lbs. Some people can't handle that truth, believing this type of kit should weigh 30lbs or so. Everyone seems to assume that the INCH bag will always be worn and NOT transported to your survival retreat. My fall back position is about 200lbs south of me. I have no intention of walking there, plan is to drive. Worse case scenario, yes I have to hike, but I consider myself fit enough to cover 10 miles a day under bad conditions. As is true with any survival scenario, you must take account your physical conditioning and health.
Start your packing process with the survival essentials and then add to that. This blog post provides all the details.

thanks
FYI the top shoulder adjustable strap(6:40) is not for taller people it is for adjusting weight over center of gravity.( i.e. up and down hill micro adjustments.)
I have a similar set up, although I'm using the Molle ii system instead of the filbe system (although to me they are extremely similar with little difference). Great set up. I would recommend yoyo traps, and conibear traps for small game and fish. All In all I really dig the set up, keep up the good work I really enjoy your videos.
East Texas Survival thanks, Used the rifleman system for a while, very comfortable and adaptable, regret getting rid of it. Spot on regarding thr trapping and fishing gear. I've picked up a few yoyo reels but stil need the other ones. Thanks for the support and be sure to check out the latest video
Brent P. a 110 n 220 conibear sure comes in handy not too heavy either
Also, you gotta buckle your waistbelt lower, under the vest and ammo pouches. Wear the vest higher and more like a chest rig. It works a lot better.
Suppose to be long term what will you use to try to hunt food? No fishing equipment bow and arrow?
I have two weeks of food for a foundation. After this video was filmed I added a compact bow and fishing kit
@@TheSurvivalOutpost sorry you said that in the video right after I commented.
I think a INCH bag is only part of it though you need a secret spot that already has many supplies and plenty of food. Imagine how good I would be if i buried 2 weeks worth of food each time i make a trip to the secret spot.
Great start. Try expanding cooking. Firebox micro when you run out of fuel. Also look at some of there cooking utensils. Stanley also makes some good gear. First aid could also be expanded. Check out refuge medical. Few more tools. Like buck saw and a trappers size axe. During the cold months your going to need to process more wood to keep warm. You already mentioned traps, fishing and firearms. Your right the weight adds up quick especially when your getting gear to last, not just lightweight junk to make it through the weekend. Great video lots of good ideas in it keep up the good work.
Great input. I do love the loadout but like everything it deserved more work.
Check out this video on the subject of INCH and read the blog post linked in the description

Did I miss the side arm? No folding rifle. How do you hunt? Do you fish? Just asking.
I try to avoid advertising firearms on social media.
