I never get tired of these type of videos. I learn something every time.
Brian Simons 👍🏾
Me too dude, maybe never will happen anything, but it is ok to be prepared
You're never gonna have a car accident, either, so may as well save your cash-- spend it on an GHB.
@@knokname6466 In Argentina is very normal to have a car accident

I'll
I also recommend that the bag in car get check yearly. I just checked my bag and it’s been 3 years since I checked it and found from the heat being in car during summer that things melted
This. You just shouldn't store batteries in the car long term. ESPECIALLY if you're in the south. They will corrode *so fast*
You need to check it more frequently than that. Some things like first aid supplies don't like heat. What you carry varies with the season & weather.
Check car stuff seasonally. Heat in the South, snow in the North. Murder on food, water, and electronics. 6 months is what I aim for, and teach, but any time I pop the trunk I visually inspect my bags. Over the years we have gotten more use out of our "Tornado Bags". A modified overnight bag packed for 3 days. Something I can walk through a hotel lobby without a second glance.
FanofCZcams, check it no less than every 3-6 months.
What is the brand of the bag you’re using and what is the capacity? Thanks.
Great video, but I think a lot of people underestimate the food. Sure, you can live 3 weeks without food, but if you’re walking many miles a day, building shelters, cutting wood, running from bad situations, under stress , ect, I think you need a lot more food, to keep your strength up. Just my opinion. Plus, if it takes me 2 days to walk home, I add one more day, in case of injury, weather, having to take an alternate route.
Good point ! If you've watched any of the "survival" shows on TV, everyone is gung ho during the first couple days, UNTIL they can't find food. Then, malnutrition starts to take its toll.
Spot on brother. I like to carry at least a couple powerbars and some of those nutritional drinks. Even a bag of beef jerky is better than nothing.
i think a lot of people make the mistake of loading a pack and going years without checking it for defects great vid buddy
"... make the mistake of loading a pack and going years without checking it for defects..." Or actually testing it by using it a few times.
Also, check expiration dates. Last night I went through my original bag. I didn't think it was *that* long ago I put it together...but I found painkillers & antibiotic wipes with expiration dates of 2015 🙄
Good video! Thanks!
I'm in PA and I have a separate pouch in my GHB that has season items. I swap out summer/winter pouches around the time we change the clocks to/from DST. --just my 2 cents
Take care & God bless!
Here are a couple of ideas for a follow up: bag organisation, beaver tails, weight distribution, understanding how and when to use add-ons including D-rings, bungy cord etc. Shoes, preparation, fitness, a lot of people have the basics but do not understand anything beyond that. Another big thing is the concept of families, the dynamics in such a situation are completely different to surviving on your own. Oh, and you should have money in your SHTF bag, that could buy you food or shelter.
The best 'get home' bag in the real world would contain:
1. A decent amount of cash say £/$200.
2. A large capacity good quality USB powerbank for your phone
3. A spare pair(s) of underpants and socks
4. Hygiene stuff like soap, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush etc.
5. A good raincoat
6. Some sort of jumper/sweatshirt
7. Spare pair of practical shoes/boots
8. High visibility jacket
9. High visibility umbrella
10. Headlight (USB chargeable)
This video is generally geared towards men, but as a suburban woman...I have a pair of comfortable sneakers and socks in my bag. If something happened while I was out to dinner or at work and I had to hoof it...I wouldn’t want to be wearing heels. Tell your ladies...it’s a must have.
Don is one of the best people on You Tube, not only in regards to survival.
Honestly, who wouldn’t want this guy as a neighbor, in-law etc....
Please keep pushing ahead, even though You Tube has demonetized 85% of your video’s.
Sooner or later your information will save a persons life, if has not already done so !!!!!!!
Be of good courage, long live the Republic !
😎🇺🇸🍺
At 6:13 Those little Advil bottles don't carry anywhere near capacity that they're able to, open that up and fill it from a larger bottle you can carry 8-10 more pills.
762x35mm There is no evidence of that... There is a study that claims that high doses of Ibuprofen over a long period might MIGHT affect fertility but one study doesn't prove anything.
I absolutely love these videos Sir, These vids are the reason I subbed your channel 6yrs ago. I have to say since joining your channel I have learned so much on self defense and survival that I was able to share with my family. And for that, I just want to thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us. Most importantly I want to thank you for all the hard work you do to protect our 2nd. Keep up the great work and I can't wait for the next video. Hope you have a great day
"Alright guys, this is just a simple bag with the essentials needed to get you home"
*pulls ham radio out of EMP proof bag*
Don't forget the sensible $600 thermal imaging sight.
A sensible prepper would not listen to this guy.. he will get you killed in a SHTF situation...
I have a JanSport bag and a ham sandwich in it
I guess it depends on how long/under what circumstances it will take for you to get home. I tend to stay local, so it should only take me a few hours to walk home. I don't have a ham radio in my get home bag, but I do have a an emergency radio. If I happen to notice people running around screaming in terror, I'd like to have access to the news to find out wtf is going on.
I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and I have learned so much. I feel safer with my wife and three kids because of you. Your stuff is amazing. Thank you for what you do. We live in uncertain times but your presence makes me feel like I’m prepared for more than the average person. God Bless you.
13:22 If I'm carrying a gun in a truly SHTF scenario and some cop tries to arrest me for it instead of focusing their attention and energy on actually helping someone, that would be a serious miscalculation on their part. :/
I like incognito bags more then the tactical camo (more of a blend in with everyone else philosophy), other then that spot on! Like the maps idea and not relying 100% on technology.
A walk thru the local college indicates there are more camo colored bags than other colors, with black and green close behind.
@Steffan Boner True that desperate people would take whatever, but I'd rather look like random office guy trying to get home than a mercenary IMHO
@@ed4253 There's actually some debate over whether the gray man look will help you or hurt you. Canadian Prepper did a video on it and between his theory and the arguments in the comment section, some very good points were made on both sides.
Anybody with a backpack would be a target no matter what color it is.
Throw that FLIR in the faraday bag it could be a life saver. I do with mine.
I do enjoy these videos though I am always concerned when I see the smallest pack possible stuffed to the brim with gear. Wouldn't it be better to use a larger pack leaving space for things like scavenged items or clothing?
Surprised you don't have a tactical golf cart for SHTF.
My get home bag is set up similar, also in a direct action dust pack.
These videos are always so refreshing and a reminder to be prepared for anything.Thanks for always making your videos
In a SHTF situation, all I really have is a couple guns for able bodied people in the group of family I can get to and tons of ammo and cleaning supplies. This is a good eye opener of other things I need to assess and start slowly buying. If i got stranded in my car tomorrow bullets wont carry me home
Great kit Sootch....I have a "minimalist" get home/survival kit in my work bag. My work bag is a 5.11 Rush 12. My GH/survival kit is a Wal-mart fanny pack based of the rule of 3s and 5 Cs of survival for basic needs. I work at a Hospital-based EMS agency as a Critical Care Paramedic so if something should happen I can utilize my rig to get home OR pack what I need in my backpack and abandon it and walk out.
A most excellent video! You, sir, are a High Quality Patriot!
Great video! Vehicle gear/ Get Home Bags are one of my favorite topics
Another great video. My EDC/Get Home bag is just under 10lbs minus water. I keep everything in the internal mesh & external pockets leaving the main compartment empty for work or bug out situations. The bug out items are in 3 cubes I can quickly stow in the main compartment and go.
Adding a small zip tie around the button of the bic lighter prevents your lighter from losing its fuel and can be removed and replaced once zipped, clipping the extra length makes it a little sharp though can be filed to prevent cuts. Plus the adhesive sticker is also flammable, once you have a empty lighter if the wheel is removed slowly the springs can be made into a snare & fishing hook and the childproof metal can be removed and can also be made into a fishing hook.
Put amazon affiliate links in the description for your items. I like the idea of color coding similar items. Red pouch for fire kit, Blue pouch for water kit, etc.
Michael Chase
Methinks if you require problem solving for survival, your bloodline will end. An observation.
TheUrbanPrepper has a few videos on colour coding items.
Politically Unreliable What is wrong with the idea of color coding? I think in a true SHTF situation anything that can make life easier or reduce mistakes would be worth it.
I think it's a good idea. My only concern is if you get too organized, if you drop something like your fire pouch, or someone takes it or you leave it at the last place you used it, you just lost every way you had to light a fire. I think it's good for some items to be redundant and mixed up a little. No use in having 5 lighters all in the same pouch that you dropped
I keep dryer lint as a fire starter. Its fee, you can fit some in the end of a flashlight, and its highly flammable
Instead of using vasoline on the cotton balls, you can use a triple antibiotic ointment like neosporine. Dual purpose and will light just as well as the vasoline.
Great video - love that bag - laser cut molle looks sharp!
Dam bro if there was a end of the world thing going on i would want to be in my group, when the SHTF. I always find something in your backpacks that i have forgot to get in my SHTF backpacks. Another awesome video Sootch00 and long live the republic.
Great bag and gear choices! Thank you for sharing, and keep up the good work!
Nice. Good to hear these reminders periodically. Thanks.
No matter how many of these I watch, I always pick up some new idea when I watch the next one. Well done!
love these vids. need to set up a bag for my truck
I’m a mom of three one of which is my 85year old mother. And I have learned so much from your videos. I now have a bug out bag even for her needs and one in my husband’s car and mine. Thank you
You should start selling a Sensible Prepper fully furnished bag
Love get home bag videos, always nice to see what other guys are using!
Great looking bag. I just got my $200 order of Olight flashlights from the link you posted last week. I have had a chance to play around with all the flashlights and they're all fantastic. I'm all stocked up on lights now!
Awesome. Thank you for the info!
Good stuff! I carry a lot of the same items in mine. Also have a solar charger for electronics. And sunblock!! Thanks again for the great vids!
At the end of the day there's no room for error. Everything has a purpose... just me. Good video thank you.
Always good to take a look through these vids and see what your missing in your own bag. I really need to change out my bag itself, that’s on the list next personally
I have that exact same backpack and it is amazing!! You can fit so many things in there it's insane. Very well made.
I need a complete list of all of the components and the bag!
I always enjoy your videos. They are very informative and I also like your humor. Pleasant to watch.
Love this channel so much good content!
Always a valuable stop at the SensibelPrepper.
I'm about to take on a new role, which will see me on the road, more. This was a great reminder that I'll need to update my GHB.
Thanks, for another great video.
I have the DUST in my truck at all times, excellent get home bag option. and I love the admin section, it has the pockets in the right places with the clear map pocket, it's just awesome!
I love my Stanley 15-333 saw. I keep a variety of blades in the handle so I can take care of everything from wood and plastic to metal.
Great video! thanks.
Well done sootch00
I work 45 mins by car away from home..and once I'm in town 10 mins from my second place I stay..this helped me alot!! Thank you so much..just found your channel. I watched others but your bag I liked the best plus only being 13 lbs me as a woman I could handle that :) New subscriber , thank you again.
Got my olight pl mini in the mail yesterday...
I love it......
Amen Brother !👍🏻🇺🇸 - don’t skimp on medical people !
FLIR is an outstanding idea!
And I never go out deep without my shortwave radio.
Keep up the good work.... good gear, good advice.
I could watch your videos on this subject over and over! And I am
Good bag, one of the best I've seen. I would not keep all of my fire starters in one kit; what if you lose it?
Keep up the great content Sootch!
I have run similar bags for a long time but i have to say you have more than 6 ways to start a fire there and you could certainly tighten up the bag and cut down on some weight. But that is semantics of survival. Great kit overall especially if you were to divide up your bag with other travelers
Great video man thanks there are only about 2 of the items you listed here that I don't have in my bag yet. My wife and i both commute 15 miles daily and i view our bags as shelter inplace survival supplies and get home bags.
The only things I dont have in my bag is the plastic tarp for ground cover the saw and the firearm. I also need to replace is my KIND bars. Almost forgot, I dont have a bivy but I do have a poncho liner. I carry a multitool two knives normally but I have a Kershaw in my bag and will add my Gerber Strongarm to it soon. Thanks for this video now I know I'm on the right track.
Spencer 7445 Agreed! However, I just left the slave state of NJ and before I buy a firearm now I have to wait until Sept before I can attempt it. I have myself set.
Another OUTSTANDING video Sootch00!!!
Dollar Tree sells the multi pupose towels.
Thank you for all the content over all these years seriously thank you Don
Thanks buddy, your videos have helped me a lot in building my packs. I just finished building a 72 hour bug out bag for my wife and I. Last week I finished my get home bag. Lots of things to prepare for and I have taken many of your suggestions.
Great get-home kit, Don! I like the suggestions for FLIR & HAM radio.
I keep my fire kit in a small Pelican Case...it’s the 1010 I think. It definitely keeps water out!
One thing I never notice on many edc/bug out/ get home bag setups is cpr masks. I Carry one in my bag all the time. One that fits infants and adults . I also carry my fire kit in a Plano watertight/ waterproof case in case of heavy rain. Love your vids sootch, faithful subscriber always watching 👍🏻
Sootch00, I can not say enough about your most informative channel. As a U.S. Army Veteran I understand the need to maintain a ready mindset. You provide the proper information in the correct way. Thank you!!
The flir scout is what I need. Where do I get one ?

Your awesome! I’m going to keep supporting your channel.
I carry a bag to work with me.
I can carry that bag with me anyplace and survive a few days with what i have in it.
But my camping and hiking bag has different stuff in it then my everyday carry bag.
I have 6 backpacks.
A medium and big bag for camping and hiking.
One for my motorcycle.
One for the gym. The gym one had to be a pacific size to fit in the gym locker.
One for traveling to visit people.
One i just keep all my knives in when not in use.
As always, great vid.
A good addition that I do is to put the car bags into a wet bag. I keep the wet bag whenever I actually use my get home bag as they come in handy as well. Also I check these setups at least twice a year. Don't skimp on the checkups... if you do you will leave yourself asking why you made the thing in the first place!
You’ve got more stuff than I have in my ditch bag and my flight gear. You should be a PR in the Navy. Great video
A great video. Me and you could pretend like the SHTF / Grid down and we could video it all. And try and make our way back home over a 3/4day period and use all this gear you show us all the time.
I love this idea!
Long live the republic!!!!! Hell yes!!!
I'm a subscriber now. Great to see another Patriot of this country!!
A nice set up. I do haveA couple of things I would suggest adding: a good pair of hiking shoes/boots strapped to the outside of your bag, Chemical glow sticks, and mosquito netting to go over your hat and to cover you while you sleep. Thanks for sharing.
Love your vids❤ Keep going and keep it up.
my bag is from guard dog security proshield II nij lll even room for an other plates, don't forget extra shoes and eye glass cheaters for us old guys love your videos thanks
ive got a fenix hp30 (the old hp30 only 900 lumins on boost mode) head lamp, takes 18650s ans has a usb port for charging stuff
Lots to consider here.
Well done, great video...I was thinking about packing some super glue...if you have a wound that needs stitches this stuff works great sealing up the cut until you can get help.
Put the FLIR in the Faraday bag if you want it to work.
Another great video man! I appreciate what you do.
Thanks for this. A bug out 'lite' bag is my nemesis. I can't stop putting stuff in... !
Farady Bag...glad I watched!
Cool video and kit
Hey Sootch. Have you ever considered a vacation/oversees bag? I'm stationed in Italy, so the rules here in Europe are definitely different. Haha. I use a Loctote slash proof bag every time we step out as a get home bag. It's great because the pickpockets here are horrible.
Direct action makes some of the best bags! I own 3 of them.
I envy your get home bag! You should sell a complete bag like shown! Completely AWESOME
Sootch: Early in the video you mentioned you're not too worried about going 'grey'. A lot of people may use camo, but the police will probably stop people using camo faster than anyone else in an EROL: Extreme Rule of Law. At times like those, being as grey as possible is a good idea, and we're not going to have access to all our possessions, so going grey all the time makes sense, IMO :)
I own a very camo backpack. And there is a _load_ of camo stuff _inside_ . But _I_ have a good reason - I'm a bird photographer! And mostly in public my camera is strapped to my chest. And I live in a town where most folks know me.
Brother you literally made my day. I have the Dragon Egg MK2 and needed building ideas. You freaking rock brother.
Thanks Don and God bless.
3 weeks without food is a stretch. Your not really "functioning" after 1 week without food.
Depends on if your chubby, water is the main issue
DARTHMOBIUS ya about 1 week for average person
True. Most people will begin to have problems after 3 days without food.
cyclist01222 About 7 days like i said is when function starts to slow.
Anthony Visconte he said you can survive without food for three weeks. He didnt say thrive. There is a huge difference between surviving and thriving.
thumbs up for the stamb in the wall on Greek MOLON LAVE!
Thank you.
Thank you Don, God bless.
That pack is very similar to my Fieldline Tactical pack I got from Walmart for $20.
Perfect size for a GHB.
Very good, thank you very much
