I think when you did this video 5 years ago you were prophetic. You kept saying if a flu breaks out. Great video for those of us that live in the city.
One thing I've been adding to my kits is a silcock key for obtaining water from the spigots on the outside of buildings. I keep one in my house kit, my car, and my work bag. Would definitely be a good thing to have in an apartment dwelling situation. They ar inexpensive and can br found at most major hardware stores.
Something I saw not long ago but might be missing from your kit is a "bathtub bag". They are large bags for holding water in your bathtub. Seems like a good idea I know I plan on picking one up. But having a sterile bag to hold the water in your bathtub might be a big plus also should help with evaporation.
I learned you gotta stock up on water back in....oh I think it was about 2003. The whole power grid went down in my entire region (Northeast Ohio and far beyond, including parts of Canada). This was very different from normal power outages, which are usually just certain parts of town and no big deal. The whole region was out. It was kind of scary. The whole area was out for many miles all around. My water water also went out because I'm on high ground from Lake Erie and the pumps that took water to me went down. There were only a few stores open around that had generators. People were shoving each other around for the water and so forth on the very first day! I had to quickly get water, including for my dog (very important not to forget your dog!!). If the grid had been down much longer. I think it would've gotten violent. For real. People don't think about how fast things can fall apart, but they can fall apart really quick. Especially in hurricane areas, but I'm not in a hurricane area and it was getting crazy. So, yeah, I think a bug-in kit is a very good idea. Including home defense weapons!
Great kit ideas!!! A few other items I would add would be a rope, twine and bungee cords. Not sure what exactly I would use them for but always safer to have and not need than to need and not have.
Excellent video Ben. Truly a must see whether one is a prepper or not. Definitely a good one to make someone think about getting started being a bit more prepared. Like I said, excellent stuff man.
a 3x5 note card which is laminated would probably be beneficial for letting someone know the contents and possibly multiple cards stacked on top in each compartment so you aren't digging in the wrong pocket.
Great info, I’m here after a week of nonstop earthquakes in Puerto Rico. In 2017 two massive category five hurricane devastate our power water and so now I default I have had to become quite the prepper. Videos like these
At Puerto Rico now with all the earthquakes & knowing we have to prep for hurricane season in a few months. This is a great bag of emergency to have. We did prep a heavy-duty rolling case as a in door emergency source for at least a 2 to 3 weeks. And some of the items you mention like the propane and stove We do not have and should add. Again is an additional box we have from the backpacks we made if we have to leave the house. Liked the video thanks.
Excellent overview video and all logical and simple things most anyone can and should have at the ready. I have the same idea as you with having a kit and multiple kits for bugging in. The key is having the essentials organized when you need it and extras that can get you through until you get your better supplies. I was planning on doing a similar video soon and I'll be sure to mention your video. I did a basic video recently on my channel regarding the current water crisis and failing infrastructure and some simple ways on how to be ready to store, filter, and purify water.

that is a solid kit! Thanks for sharing and I am looking forward to the series!
Extra supplies of baby and feminine products. A diaperless baby would definitely be a problem.
Here for the Covid Great Depression... pretty much done prepping, adding some last minute items.
I feel like a lot of preppers are married to the idea of putting their stuff into bags.
I also have a small first aid book in case someone gets hurt and we cannot get through to the emergency services right away.

You do a great Job..... Thank you..Bill
Thanks for your hard work and advice.

I watched this video when I was like 8 because I wanted to survive an earthquake now I'm watching this because of the Corona virus 😷😫😭
