Hey man, I'm looking through your links but not seeing anything for buying the Amoxicillin at. Help me out man lol. :D thx
@Chris Carter I always wear a paracord belt czcams.com/video/WeLF-gwpswI/video.html

Don’t laugh. My husband and I got these amazing back packs and then I loaded them up with all our prepper stuff. Turned around and backed up to the table so i could slide the straps onto my shoulders and then walk away.....except they were so heavy with IMPORTANT stuff that two steps forward and i fell backwards from the weight! I could not even make it 2 steps away from my table let alone try to get to the front door!!!! (We are 70).....(but we think like we are 30!😳🤣) Imagine an episode out of I Love Lucy!!!! It’s all important stuff!!!!!
LOL, been there, done that. Max 25 lbs. carry and roll the rest. E-BIKE AND Trailer is too much fun. Thanks for the laughs and best to you.
I was just gonna comment on this issue. These packs are for young. He needs to do one for over 60
Don't fret strap those babies to a hand cart or a dolly even a wheelbarrow if you have to
Lol that was funny 😄
Good lesson, pack properly and accordingly for your respective strength. Also experiment in the field with your gear to see how far you can actually go and self sustain yourself.
In our family we do this each time we go on a hike on the weekends, as a drill to help us keep fit and ensure our bags meet the needs to survive accordingly across various scenarios, environments and seasons.
Here's a tip from a Soldier:
- Get a backpack that looks cheap, civilian, and unassuming, best in black or another neutral color.
- Wear none of the gear strapped to the outside of the pack.
- Don't wear any military-looking items visible to others. Wear them under your clothes, hidden from sight
The goal is to blend in and appear nonthreatening and not worth the hassle/not worth robbing.
If you're seen with that kit from the video people will try and take it.
Golden tip
Amen
This guy knows
What I was thinking the whole time
@@petermcaleese5967 Cause honestly, you would be spotted a mile away and if someone saw all of that stuff they would probably do anything to get it.
One tip you can thank me for later: pack up everything and get out and use it for a weekend (a shakedown). You'll quickly find out if you have what you need, if your pack is too heavy, doesn't fit, clothes are proper for survival, etc. Also, don't pick a "nice weather" weekend. Anyone can survive a weekend in nice weather. Try it when it's cold, wet, etc.
Lol common sense but aight
@@myyoutubename1756 lots of people don’t have common sense. I’d say 60% of people.
Literally no one does this and they think having a pew will solve all their problems
@@myyoutubename1756 Well, people have perceptions about themselves that are unfounded, a real world test will eliminate the perceptions and reveal the reality.
yep. best way to make sure you got the right gear is to train with it.
Do the same video - for a 105 lb woman going on her own. My only advice is if you make a bag of this type, hike with it beforehand and see if you can carry it and try/practice with everything in your pack beforehand.
Canadian Prepper's pack ain't a bugout bag... it's a mini portable wilderness store.
@Feathers McGraw weak
🤣🤣
Funny thing is that I'd bet CP could carry you and your perfect little BOB farther than you could carry it alone...
Seeing the Wool blanket on the outside, and at the bottom of the bag really frustrates me.
@@ROckNCom calm down killer lmao nobody’s talking crap about your boyfriend
i would definately throw in some foot spray or powder .i remember when i was in the uk forces the number one problems were bad feet related , athletes up to trench foot ,feet are one of your main priorities in bug out or any situation ,, you can be the fittest guy on your team and be floored with bad feet ..god bless ... Lee
Were their any products methods of application that seemed particularly popular for field conditions? No experience with this.
@@Sensorium19 check your feet every night and morning . Make sure your boots and socks are not too tight .try using foot powder with antifungal . most of them are ok .as long as you change your socks when and if they feel damp .and ensure you check your feet and deal with any problems as soon as possible you should be ok . As part of your daily hygiene .you should be ok . God bless you and your family. Lee
Rubbing alcohol applied to the feet will remove the moisture close to the skin surface and toughen (leather) up the skin to help prevent blisters and antifungal foot powder will help keep them dry. Also a thin under sock (nylon, tricot, calf length panty hose, ext.) under a wool or wool blend sock will help prevent blisters (cotton kills). Ex US Army Grunt here.
FYI- Spare socks, & waterproof socks. 10 year full time Marine with 15 years as a contractor- NEVER had to use foot spray, foot powder or the like
I live in the USA, and my neck of the woods has similar issues in the summer. Our CDC is in Atlanta, GA for this reason. (Halfway between DC and the FL swamps by train)
Excellent video. As an ER physician, I would have something different from Amoxicillin. Amoxicillin is great for ear and throat infections, but not much else. Instead, I would carry Clindamycin (great for soft tissue/skin infections) plus dental infections (ever had a bad dental infection? It sucks). I would also carry Ciprofloxacin for traveler's diarrhea (E. Coli, Salmonella, Shigella). Triple antibiotic ointment (not spray) and Betadine wipes are also great. Agree with the Imodium for diarrhea, as well. Spare clean socks are key--take care of your feet.
Cipro has a black box warning. It can kill those with connective tissue disorders.
if infection is serious, amoxicillin won't help even for ear, I know from my experience
This is a sweet load out FOR HIM! Fact is that’s a lot of weight for the average Joe. Obviously he is younger, stronger and very physically fit. Making me realize I need to personally do better.
Which brings me to the point. YOU are the most important piece of equipment. You have to get as physically fit as you can. No matter your age, you can improve which will allow you to have more comfort items without the added fatigue.
"Has a bit of an after taste, but hey it's better than dying " 🤣🤣🤣
He aint wrong though
@@audie6348 yea I know...it's just the way he said it tho 😆
and this is why there is Tang or some other drink flavoring.
Just a tip: instead of/in addition to the outdoor post it notes, consider reflective tree tacks. If you have to hike out or retrace you steps in the night you can shine a light and see where you've been.
A roll of surveyors tape works well ad goes a long way.
@@robertbates6057 Agreed
🤨🤔😁😁👍👊
Nice tip
Yeah not good idea if you’re bugging out and don’t want to be seen. Reflection is not your friend for stealth camping if you bug out cause things are bad.
If you’re just camping then it’s ok.
I really appreciated the video. One thing I do even in a non-BOB situation is when I travel I have a fisherman's or photographer's type vest that has lots of pockets and all my essentials go in it (no purse, not in pockets) so I can take it off for scanning in one move. BUT my point is, the same could work to carry a LOT of essential gear you wouldn't want to do without and it can be hidden under a light (or even heavy) jacket. If someone is determined to take your BOB you still want to be able to survive with what you have on you.
Excellent bag for a strong man! Small (hotel size) bar of soap in ziloc bag replaces wet wipes to reduce weight. Protein bars = quick, no waste packaging, rich calories will keep you ahead of the horde. Eye protection for dense forest avoids branch injuries. Twisted ankles need athletic tape, common injury on rough terrain. Knowledge weighs nothing, never stop learning and practicing.Thank you for teaching others!
The walkers are coming coral, run coral.
I am getting old for bugging out. However I think a couple of changes of sock, some foot powder and possible some blister tape would be appropriate.
It is a great setup you have there.
Mole skin
Yes. What I have.
However there are other blister tapes these days that are thinner and that runners and hikers use. Like kinesiology tapes.
Yes and have some supplies in your house in case power is out. Texas black out few months ago was an eyeopener for me. Who would have thought it was to cold in Texas and power out, solar panels useless because snowed in and windmills not working because frozen. Have some sources water and something to cook on when power out just in case
@@s.fernandes7560 solar is fine just brush it off. Texas is full of morons.
I was homeless for quite awhile and let me tell you, if your bag weighs 20lbs and you can carry 30 put in 10lbs of socks!
When I was in the Military, I had a training with the Belgian Paracommandos (green beret) and they taught us something useful. You don't necessarily need a tent or a tarp if you have a poncho. Take one or several pine cones, stuff them in the hole where your head goes when you put on the poncho. Tie the whole thing with a wire and you can basically create a small shelter in case of rain. The other thing is, always make sure you can survive 48 hours without your bag. Our backpacks had a special lever you could pull on to run away without the bag if need be (yes don't get into a fight when you are bugging out, run away from it if you can, that sometimes requires you to drop your kit). And you had to always carry what you needed to survive for 48 hours by yourself (a cereal bar, some water (condoms are great way to carry water, we even had them in our MRE rations), etc)
Cool info!
Rain suit and I have 4 ponchos for water sealing a shelter. A heavy rain suit is a walking shelter.
Thank you brother for sharing this beautiful info.
Sending tons of love from Northern Ireland 💙 🙏 🇮🇪 ❤
@@arlenemccormick I love Ireland. Such a beautiful country ! If I had to settle down in a homestead elsewhere than home, it'd probably be Ireland
So what is the pine cones for?
I'd prefer activated charcoal over Imodium or carry both as activated charcoal (the most known medical brand here is Norit) is also useful when you ingested something toxic. It binds many toxins.
I’m ten years old, and I’ve been getting into survival stuff lately. And I’ve spent so much money on my survival bag. Yours is SO COOL and I really wish I could have it. My parents always ask me why I’m into survival stuff and i always say because its fun, and they say that we don’t need to worry about that stuff. I would do anything for your big out bag. This might sound silly but if you could I would love too have it.
I’m also under my moms CZcams account, so my name is Liam.
At age ten this BOB is not the right size for you and far too heavy. Don’t worry, you will get there.
Ich: don’t comment again, I’m waiting for you know who to comment on this, which he probably wouldn’t but, still.
@@judymcnaughton9991 LOL
Just learn bushcraft from CZcams and practice in your backyard. Also read “bushcraft by mors kochanski, and SAS survival guide,”. Theyre both very cheap from amazon. Ask your parents to buy them for you. Youll learn alot. Good luck!
Had to watch this after your “rant” lol I admit I didn’t watch it before but I am watching it now.
Same here. I'm watching because he mentioned it. Though more out of curiosity to see why people were bitching.
@@FalloutRat why you calling him a sheep lol he probably just forgot to watch the vid
@@FalloutRat ok and your calling them a sheep because of a video? That's kinda dumb bro
@@FalloutRat What does that make you? 😂 Lonely guy with no GF calling people names and getting into arguments 😆 GET A LIFE 😆
@@FalloutRat So you’re a juvenile. Got it
Fantastic kit.
One thing I always add is a few thick large garbage bags/trash bags. They really can come in handy for a lot of different uses and they weigh nothing.
Ex: rain coats, tinder storage you can quickly collect and keep it dry. Floatation, fit's your whole pack keeps it dry and makes it float easily. Water proofing over bandages so on.
Solar bag for collecting water from foliage.
They cost almost nothing and weigh nothing but they are super useful to have. 👍
Oh also salt and some sugar or something sweet, if you have a shit day a packet of gum or some lollies can really boost your mood. Just to have something sweet.
Been using mine to keep the mosquitoes off at night definitely useful. Water collection is a great thing. Thanks. I got some glucose packets that helped a lot or something similar. Honey?
Thankss!
Good old amorphous solar! That is awesome. I need to get one! Cheers.
I prepped these last year when they were still available. Thank you for these videos. They are great to review on the days when You and Kris dont post a new video. I depend on you all for my entertainment. Brad and Kelly are very reliable, I ask God to bless you all.
Just a tip, stay away from gelcaps when it comes to storing meds, I've had a bottle melt together in the warmer weather rendering it all useless.
Harder to get an accurate dosage anyways
True emergency, cut it up with your knife
Australian wilderness says hello
Just lick the blob till relief sets in!
@@VerMirror the meds get messed up in the heat, as well as melting the gel
One thing that I keep in my bug out bag that I don't see often in other lists is a deck of cards. Regardless of the situation, eventually you might need to just pass the time.
A couple of really difficult books in light pocket editions, maybe.
Not enough people talk about recreation in these videos. Realistically a shtf scenario can be boring for a good long while, not every day can be spent scavenging, on the move, or protecting yourself. Youre going to have downtime and having nothing to occupy yourself during that time is going to drive you crazy
@@freshlypouredbingwater7913 Totally!
@@crhu319 Yeah, pocket books are awesome and take no space.
I actually have 'suvial' cards ... Best deck I ever bought!! I can either play cards, OR learn ... I like multi-use items, and these were perfect!!
I'm. Extremely impressed with ur BOB AND the variety of. .,. gear u have in it. But the set up of the BOB is truly the KEY to weather one makes it to the destination or extract .And how u explain each of the functions of items..very clear and persice..best BOB video on utub so far... I have been building bug out bags over 35 years NOW. So I know a little.great video keep them coming
Hello ... I just watched your video concerning the comments made by viewers concerning your 50-item bug-out bag. I was impressed by what you packed, which was fantastic! As an older backpacker, with many extended backcountry hikes and camping experiences ( three trips above the Artic Circle), I have a solid basic knowledge of what can happen when you are unprepared in these types of environments Every item you showed, and more, could and would be used. So, keep up the great videos, looking forward to more. Big AL ... Va. Beach, VA.
One thing I didn't see (but it was a long video and I was cooking lunch so I may have missed it) was a sewing kit.
Needles, threads, some safety pins, and a button or two. Even the best of packs sometimes fail and cloths do as well.
Try " Speedy-Stitcher " which can sew packs, leather, and people in extreme situations. Best to you.
@@glennpinkus7352 I've never needed to do more than pack canvas and clothes, but I have some multi-tool pliers and heavy enough needles that I could make do for the heavier stuff (no one is going to be fond of my stitching them with a straight needle - but I keep the suture kit at home, so if I'm doing it on the go it is because it HAS to be done).
In a pinch you could use the fishing kit and the multitool as a makeshift sewing kit but i agree that a dedicated sewing kit would be much better
Sorry you cannot pack dedicated stuff I think laying out your pack and looking at it and saying what will do the same thing or close will eliminate weight and speed you along in where ever you’re going.
CP. Something neat about mountain house meals? I boiled water in one. Took a empty bag filled it with water set it on my grill. I only tried it once.
It did work. Purify water in a pinch. Big bubbles no troubles.
Hi Canadian Prepper, I follow all your vids and learn a lot of them. It looks to me that the APO 1S knife is a typical scandi grind blade (simple tapered grind), like most MORA or Fallkniven blades. Your items presentation is great, and Happy New Year to You and all preppers!
Were going camping and this video is awesome stuff everything we need is in the video
Something I always found useful camping was some duct tape - not taking a whole roll - but taking some tape and wrapping around a Nalgene bottle or around another item in the pack - just have some in a pinch.
I wrap gorilla tape around itself. Pull eight inches, or so, off the roll, fold it in half and start wrapping it around until it's as much as you want to pack. They slide nicely in flat pockets in packs.
Wrap duct tape around an old id/credit card. It works great. Get 2 or 3 of them an you could have ya an entire roll or 2.
@joetothesanders I made Paracord donuts, easiest way to carry it without it getting tangled!
Also, you can wrap duct tape around an old credit card. Lays flat, easier to find a place to put it, and you don't have to worry about it getting residue all over something you use a lot. Yes, you can wrap it around a lighter, but you won't be able to store as much that way. I really like the 1inch Gorilla Tape, myself. I have eider, but I've fallen in love with the skinnier width.
Just some thoughts.
@@MasterPhilip616 Doing it that way, you have effectively rendered the first folded amount useless. If you can pull it apart, the adhesive isn't very good. Try wrapping it around an old credit card -- still flat, but now the entire length you store is useable. :)
@@brandonhenry8768 lol, could have saved myself some time typing if I would have scrolled down just a couple of comments before I replied ;)
If you use the pack outside for extended time, I would recommend having a cover for the blanket to keep it dry and bugs out of it... wool may insulate when wet but it's also heavy.
Good call. I actually think wool is a supreme material for camping, especially if you are going to light actual real fires. I camped for months with just a wool blanket and a poncho because I couldnt afford a sleeping bag. It worked wonders. You are absolutely correct though, when it gets wet, it can soak up a few pounds of water.
Yeah, I keep mine in the same place as Nate but it's in a waterproof rolltop. Surprised he doesn't have his in one actually.
Yup, a ground sheet would be good to lay down and then roll up the blanket and sheet together.
A cover is a great thing to have. Used one for years and have never regretted it. Wool blanket is a great thing to have also.
Yeah! Another lightweight drybag would do the trick for the wool blanket. It can also double as a container for water if needed or even a life preserver.
Thanks I'm trying to lighten up my bag ( I'm 75 ) All this gear has gotten heavy over the years. But I still wish to have a good bag. So thanks for the review . Keep up the great work.
Tarp and real wool blanket… good knife, good fire starter, and a hatchet with one side as a hammer…
Always in my truck and on my adventure bike. Snacks and water / plus filter help too.
*PREPPER PRO-TIP: POCKET LITTER*
*Consider consolidating all those "just-in-case-I-have-to-abandon-my-pack" items into one compartment or attached bag that you would immediately empty into your pockets when about to take off, because if you ever get pressured into ditching your pack the odds are you won't have more than a few seconds to make that decision, so it may save your life to already have your pockets full of bare survival essentials such as a lighter, pocket knife, paracord, 55gal plastic drum liners/contractor bags for container/covering, etc.*
a pocket boy in your pocket, or at least a leatherman
He did do that lol its the stuff in the PPM
Derringers work well when you're under pressure! A good sawed off shotgun is a better choice. Remember, many that you encounter will not be playing gentleman's rules. Mr Nice guy has left the building!!!
contractor bags are easy to find and affordable. tough, too.
It's a good idea but I'd suggest a hip bag or a phanny pack heck even a messenger bag. I hate sh# in my pockets drives me nuts. I got one of those old canvas belt pouches I freakin love it.
Something I was taught as a cadet people might want to consider - get a fanny pack. Bare basics (fire starter, cord, fishing line and hooks, UNLUBED condoms for water carry, etc) inside and and knife hanging from it. Slightly less comfortable, but you aren't completely poked if you lose/ditch your pack without time for item retrieval.
Agreed. A famny pack with a chest pack and axe sling are edc, in a survival situation.
Yes a fanny pack with unlubed condoms are the best
I fully agree. I always carry a fanny pack in town or in the bush. Obviously the one for in the bush is a bit bigger. The urban one is small and you don't see it under a loose fitting t-shirt but still has some very useful items in them.
Intrestingly enough some traditional gear where I come from cover that and hangs from a wide "knife belt". Not a fanny pack but a stuff packed around your waist 😉😄
@@thefriphog ...Preppers,
do you stay updated via a Medium that doesnt lie to you?
This is by far the most descriptive, detailed, recorded and well thought out video like this I have seen.
lol
Thank you so much for this. I used this video more so than any other while building my own bag. Love your content.
Stay safe, brother
A little backpacking trick I use is instead of spray antibiotic ointment I typically bring the gel type. The gel can act similar to petroleum jelly (good for cracked lips, minor chafing) but also works great as a fire starter with cotton balls. The spray can be more hygienic, but for me the get has multiple functions. Appreciate the vid!
So I've been a trapper for 20 years and a hunter for more than that, Trust me when I say I know a lot about survival, And I can honestly say this guy's pack is the best I've ever seen, The only thing I would remove is the big saw on the side pouch, The little survival kit with the Orange whistle, And I would replace the space blanket With a space bivy, I would add a handful of bic lighters and a breakdown model 22 rifle and esee knife and Sharpening stone, perfect!
The orange whistle doodad bag is essential & goes with the best of the lumbar accessory bag’s contents.
😂
I’ve seen Boy Scouts with more efficient gear than this 😂😂😂
Very good

@@hallelujahhalogamingtv3904 your gonna need the two weeks worth, itll take that long to drag it home.
@@hallelujahhalogamingtv3904 but did you pack any nails?
You have some very well thought out choices. I have a few recommendations , my experience being 18yrs in scouting where I received the rank of Eagle Scout. The very first thing I thought of before you mentioned it was you might be carrying too much weight. And even if you are not, it needs to be said that guidelines exist to determine how much you should carry so that viewers do not replicate this guide and injury themselves. I understand you are physically active, I am too. That being said, for hiking most medical professionals are going to say that 15% of your body weight is all the average human should be hiking with. Some say 20-25% but its Important to know that figure is for experienced hikers in peak condition that are hiking short distances. For anyone reading this at home wondering if they are an experienced hiker, ask yourself have you hiked thousands of miles in all different climates, trail conditions., and weather conditions? If you have not I would recommend sticking to the 15% rule until you’ve had some more experience working those back muscles. This is hard truth for active people to swallow, believe me I used to be guilty of carrying too much myself. It’s not about your fatigue point, it’s about natural wear and tear on your body as well as metabolism. The more weight you carry, the more energy you burn, the more food and water you need to survive.
Great comment. Thanks for the tips.
Idk I'm a fairly small guy, by the 15% rule I shouldn't carry more than 25ish pounds. But 40 pounds doesn't feel all that difficult. 25 is near effortless, 40 would just require some effort. I think the worst that's ever resulted of carrying 40-50 pounds personally is some sore thighs the next morning lol
This is all new to me. Haven't a bloody clue lol but God has my back and keeps leading me to info, such as yours.
Thank you brother 💙🙏💙
Very Well Said!!
The second I saw his bag, On Second One of the video. Exactly my thoughts. WAY too heavy. I can carry this bag, no problem at all, on short distance, on flat terrain. I'm 6''1', 150 pounds. How the hell I'm supposed to, just walk, with this anchor? I'm skinny, yes, but I can work, hard, no problem at all. But surviving conditions? Moving? With this? Out of maintained trails? Impossible.
I can walk long distances, no problem.
It's a really great kit, don't get me wrong, but to pick it in your vehicule and drop it on the camping site.
Don't get mad, Get lighter.... 🤣
Nice video.
Some good ideas I hadn't thought of, A lot of the stuff shown in your bug out bag I wouldn't have a use for here in Australia. But every bug out bag will be different. I was always taught never to eat any food unless you have water to help you digest the food, otherwise using body fluids to break down the food will cause dehydration and shorten ones chances of survival massively.
What exactly wouldn't be good for Australia? The bear flare?
@@chrisb3189 Large saws/axe, and thick blankets/coats/warm clothing not as necessary due to warmer climate. Also minimal fire starting gear (1 ferro rod and a mag lens should do). More emphasis on water acquisition such as transpiration bags, and protection from bugs/snakes (mozzie net, compression bandages).
Sunnies, hat and sunscreen
Plus water and lge plastic bag for water collection
It gets cold in Australia too. Anyone thinking a sleeping mat and a single blanket and bivvi bag is too much hasn't been out at night.
Unless you condition your body to use less water during the day...
I love my sewer filters and water bladder reservoir set up. But hey I get it, different strokes for different folks. Great video!
Sweet kit I'm actually looking into the micro mattress as that's something my kids would like to use perhaps, we have a variety of micro hamics and I would recommend that you look at the verity as you can get all in one hamic sleeping bag and enclosed for no bugs but we always use bug repellent on the cords aswell and you can put one over sand covered embers also....
Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any sewing needles (for splinters and sewing) superglue (wounds) gorilla tape, tealight candles, insect repellant, Sting Eze, chapstick (for zippers and fire), aluminum foil, seasonings etc. I have all that and a ton of other stuff in a 28 oz watertight container.
Yup. In on all that.
I am more of a hiker than bushcrafter. Even though it will retain it's insulating properties when wet I would recommend a waterproof cover/dry sack for your wool blanket. I also love the Sawyer squeeze water filter.
I think long distance hikers are the best bugout systems one can emulate. Most go for a very lightweight system to meet their needs until they reach their next destination. I think bugging out should be thought of similarly in this manner. Basically, just bring what you absolutely need so you can move with purpose and reach your destination in as little time as absolutely necessary. The only addition I would add over the long distance hiking mindset is some kind of defensive tool or firearm, but even that would be dependent on your location and the level of risk you're exposing yourself to. I definitely think a 40-50lb pack is a death sentence, injury waiting to happen, or at the least just another avoidable risk for most people if they're forced to bugout.
I also like light weight t-woodsman. A lot of my bag centers around what i learned hiking long distances. The hike is just part of it when bugging out. When you get to the refuge camp you may find no help there. What's on your back and in your head maybe all you get for a long time. Check out vids of Pakistan, afgan, African refuge camps also vids on Katrina and even homeless camps in LA. Plan well t -man😊
@@thetrekkingwoodsman2051 Pretty much my thought. It'd be very interesting to see a BOB inspired by Ultralight backpacking. I.E. This is how you make a bug-out-bag that actually will take you home rather then dead in a ditch because someone with a school rucksack can run much faster than you (whether it's them getting out of the situation first, or into you neck with a knife doesn't really matter).
Myself I started looking into getting a Ultralight-inspired hiking set(?) when I noticed that I could save about 2.6kg (5.8lbs) of my base-weight by getting a better (both warmer and a bit lighter) sleeping pad, a down sleeping bag (currently calculating the weight as up to 800g (1.7lbs) but hoping to find one for as close to 500g (1.1lbs) with a Tcomf of -1 (30f), and of course after that, a lighter backpack (when my packing is small/light enough for that to not be a problem) as I'd be closer to getting to a 3kg (6.6lbs) saving before even looking for other things.
Edit: And not least, the huge amount of space saved (I.E. going from a synthetic to a down sleeping bag, closed foam pad to a inflatable one and going down in backpack size (hoping for 15-20 litres less from my current 75l one).
That sawyer filter is incredible!!
@@John-ih7gp I agree ... I have a Sawyer Mini for every one of my bags, and convinced my family members who prep to switch from the LifeStraw to the Sawyer's as well.
Really amazing video, wow!
I am really not an expert, but I have no idea why you don't have a sleeping bag. Please let me know your reasons.
Imao after 1-knive, 2-fire(steel), 3-first aid, would be my number 4 a good sleeping bag.
The blanket is surely nice but not enough to keep you warm in cold nights.
Greetings from Missouri been watching your channel for a hot minute. Thank you for everything you do and a couple of things I added to my pack is 12 24 hour glow sticks. I also have a radiation giger counter and a mini shovel and a bible. Now reminder this is only a few things in my bad not my whole bad lol but thank you for everything you do brother
I'm from Missouri as well branson actually and I'm like 20 minutes from the Arkansas border bottom left of the state I got 2 100L bags and another bag for a family of 9 tons of stuff to survive for a few weeks til we get to a location we can call a new home
How about electrolytes? Eg. Salt
Brawndo has electrolytes.
I love the packets of water soluble vitamins, too
@@Vex916T Its what the plants crave
@@Vex916T it's got what plants crave
Salt Stick capsules or chewables. Also do capsules with 30mg of caffeine with the electrolytes. Doesn't need water, as if sucking suspect water through a filter then water soluble isn't much use.
I spent a lot of money on my pack but have no regrets about it. It’s HEAVY but I walk my dog (him with his own backpack on) multiple times per week up and down hilly roads with mine on. Also walk through woods with our packs on. My dog has a pack from RuffWear. Highly recommend. Besides this great channel, I highly recommend channels such as Dave Canterbury, Corporals Corner, and The Gray Bearded Green Beret for info about what to put in your pack. You got it spot on. It’s not just a bug-out bag. It’s a camping, survival, bug-out, outdoors, hiking pack. Use the damn thing!
This video makes great points.
Agree, AnalyticalSurvival is also a great channel to gain tips and reminders about your drills/kit
Pretty sure 99% of people who watch these watch all those others already
@@colinschenck2129 Not necessarily. I hadn't heard of AnalyticalSurvivor yet, and I've been following a multitude of channels on prepping and survival. There are going to be a wide range of people on here, as far as skill sets, interests, and even how long they've been doing this. We can't let ourselves fall into the trap of thinking everyone else is where WE are on our journey -- at one time, WE were new to all of this. I have been prepping for almost 2 Decades, it's second nature to me. I've been researching Survivalism for about 5 years (about a year on CZcams). I STILL learn things when I dive into the comments section, though.
Share your knowledge / tips / tricks / experiences / etc, rather than criticizing those who do. You never know who you help in doing so, we ALL have something to contribute to the conversation, and the only 'stupid' question is the one that needs to be asked yet isn't.
@@BlesamaSoul Thanks, hadn't heard of that one yet, will check it out!
I follow all of them, and more. Out of all of them, I have to admit my favorite is Corporal's Corner. He has taught me to look at my surroundings differently, and opened me up to a world of things that I wouldn't have thought possible!! Don't get me wrong, I learn a lot from others (Creek Stewart used to be my favorite), but Shawn takes things to a whole new level.
Don’t stress about drawing too much attention with your high end equipment. 4 weeks into a SHTF scenario and anyone out and about is a target for the starving masses.
Great video and with the way the world is I'm making my bug out bag now
I have mole skin in case of blisters in my pack and a couple of pain relieving back patches. I don't want to deal with blisters or being cripple from laying on the ground(I'm older) in an emergency situation.
Old or young..mole skin standard firefighting item!!! Blisters suck
I have thicker and tougher skin but it's not cut resistant I use a pair of Good work Gloves for this exact purpose
I grew up on a small farm. I come from a family of share croppers/ farmers. I put up/repaired many fences. When I was in the USMC Infantry, out of habit, I always carried a pair of fencing pliers. To this day, I keep a pair of fencing pliers handy. Just my 2 cents, I would recommend having a pair of fencing pliers in my BOB. There are different types. I'm talking about the most common type that has a hammer face on one side and the prying awl design on the other. There's SO many uses for that tool that you cannot imagine until you need it. Just saying 😏
For saws you can also use a hacksaw. It's way lighter and the blades are replaced easily. Might take longer to make cuts tho. For a jungle machete for a forest tree saw definitely depends on your environment.
I only carry a small knife and a utility blade. Thought about a mora or other fixed blade. Remember leather gloves! You can use them to dig and manipulate fire and hot objects. I'm a hobo and less of a survivalist. Some essential oil is a really good idea. Tea tree or oregano are good choices for infections and septicemia.
I'm planning to move overseas in the next 5 years, and got interested to build a backpack for everyday stuff and also survival. Good video.
Tent stakes. Made from aluminum, weigh almost nothing and are gonna save you so much trouble when you put up your shelter. Sure you can fabricate your own, but thats gonna cost time and calories, and chances are they are not as good as the machine made ones. Otherwise great loadout!
Agreed! If he can carry two saws and a big heavy chopping blade, there’s no reason not to pack some aluminum or titanium tent stakes lol.
I've been using some MSR groundhog mini stakes. They're about 6 inches and red so you don't lose them, plus have a paracord pull string which makes removing them so much easier. They're lighter, stronger and have held up without breaking for almost two years. The knockoffs are only a bit cheaper, but better to spend the extra 5 bucks and get some quality ones.
Great video. Lots of good ideas. Somethings I've added: Spiggot wrench (for city and suburb areas with industrial buildings), a change of underwear, hat, sun screen, walking stick (which I find helps with the weight, and also can be used as a crutch, defense). Also remember that some of this can be shared if you have someone else to share the load (wife, husband, children). Even 5lbs of reduced load means a lot.
Advil is a life saver out in the wilderness, one of my friends twisted an ankle on a backpacking trip and the Advil helped him pull through.
For beginers i would recomend using a base plate compas. They are easy to use, and are very light and they are solid.
I just bought a crap ton of bug out supplies, what great timing.
I would love to see a video on the small lightweight shelter systems
OK done
check out the ultralight backpackers. There's several of them with channels and they do it all the time
@@surfingtothestars 👎
@@surfingtothestars minimal is the way to go . Carrying a 50 lbs pack in a bugging out situation to on foot is a myth
Only need a 3rd of the gear he has in that pack
For your flair gun there is a barrel mod kit for shot gun shells
This is great info on building my bug out bug its pretty close to what I have written down to go in mine.
Thanks, some useful tips there. I use all my gear I carry on wilderness canoe trips.
Took me a couple of weeks to watch this video. Whatever effort you put into making this is much appreciated. I’ll be heading over to your store now. Never regret making these videos.
The bag is designed for extended period with no change of clothing? 1st line of defense is what you wear, having no alternative could leave you short. Great video, thanks for the time and ideas.
I suggested greatcoat over blanket for that reason.
You should know by now it's all about how much cool gear you can carry.
@@kurtthecat3995 Yup, its all about making the money on this video.
@@arcane.ranger All jokes aside, I actually found the long distance backpackers the best source of information when it comes to gear selection and the amount to carry since they are the guys that are actually out in the woods for weeks at a time actually using their equipment for real. It's no surprise, that they don't use any military gear at all.
@@kurtthecat3995 sure, but many ultra light and long distance hikers have resupplies and pick up points, which for this video, we dont have. Yes, military surplus is not the best option, but if you actually use your stuff, you will know what's best and what isn't. Wanna know if the gear will last? Go do one month in the local area and find out. Rain or shine you depend on something and it breaks? You'll know. Ive done it, several times.
Jello! Ha! Yes... Jello! I grew up on military bases but never severed in the forces myself, wish I had of but always tried to learn and retain knowledge as tho I would have to some day utilize. Understanding from a young age that history repeats itself always!
I had an instructor from Halifax Search And Rescue mention a beautiful tip during a wilderness 1st aid training course that has always stuck in my head... Pack a few packs of jello, cold or hot it makes a wonderful easy beverage with lots of energy packed into a small package, so I always bring some.
I highly recommend the life straw, light, relatively small and is VERY useful. Possibly look into it.!
Hey Nate, those bolt cutters could save your dog's life if he gets caught in a snare trap.
loving the wool blanket roll, the more time i spend outdoors working on my skill sets, the more i lean toward bedrolls over down sleeping bags and quilts.
i've never tried the hammock sleeping bag, but logically, in the woods it must be best. fewer bugs crawling on you, no wet or icy ground, its cover keeps biting insects off of you and away from your ears, you can use it during the day to keep your belongings off the ground - and it is small in a backpack. If lucky enough to find two tree close to each other that can be climbed, you'd be away from most wildlife.
While camping in north GA, a pack of wild boar came one night sniffing at the bottoms of our tents. Made me rather nervous. even just having my body 2 to 5 feet off the ground seems like an advantage.
Thank you for doing this video. It is very informative and has helped me decide what I probably should consider and or use. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to make this video.
In urban situations or if you can't carry heavy stuff, you could use a hard shell rolling case as well instead of the backpack. The disadvantage is, you only have one hand free. But the advantage is, you don't have to carry heavy stuff. I think, most people in densely populated areas are not going into the woods to bug out. They will rather go to the homes of friends and family to get shelter.
Bug out bags to me are not just short term but “need to flee forever”. I’m not willing to risk not being prepared at all times.
Friends. You might wanna have most of the live saving stuff on your body and not on your bag. Look up tactical belts. You can have a lot of your tools there
He’s prior military so I’m sure he knows what he’s doing. A tactical belt probably wouldn’t be useful with this backpack as this backpack does wrap to the waist where a utility battle belt would be. As even in the Military, a carrier is all is carried essentially. I have a pack that carries my life saving essentials, and then I wear a plate carrier that carries my defensive and battle essentials. And the ONLY thing i carry on my hip is just a handgun. Everyone is different, everyone trains in accordance of their own pack. All I have to do is drop my pack, pull a zipper and I have a pack of stop bleed powder (what the military uses) along with antibiotics and trauma essentials. I like having my backpack loaded with my essentials because I can always drop my pack and use it as a gun prop in a prone position for defensive situations, a loaded duty belt wouldn’t feel comfortable laying on the ground.
A vest would most likely be better
I could put my cz scorpion in that pack, emergency crowd control. as needed. A serious choice for the rank bear.500 Smith and Wesson , sorry Canada hand cannons on your chest is a good idea for back country. your show is the best!!! Im binging. I like the concept of gray man or woman. Im 10 days in . in a suburb of Houston, making plans and stocking. the only thing I am complete on is weapons and ammo, and a shovel. looking at solar generators, thanks for your extreme efforts! I am a retired videographer. Your production value is fantastic!
Pretty good bug out kit. In my case I always bring my 9mm in the bush against bears, cougars etc in BC, Yukon and Alberta. I prefer to be judged by 12 than carry by six. 🙏
I’ve watched a lot of bug out bag and videos and I found this one to be by far the most thorough and professional.
You know the one thing I seldom see in bugout bags is hygiene (soap,rag,toothbrush etc) and buttwipe
this, about times 1000. Let us know what you might do for that last one. Possibly some of those "cloth rag tablets?" That would help at least initially. Or just a couple of washrags and clean them constantly.
For us Girls that is even more important. Especially if things go sideways and it is more than 3 days. Plus, stress takes Flo to new heights.
@@kimberlycoast1305 that's why if people were truly afraid of shortages I could understand the toilet paper but the feminine hygiene isle was fully stocked. You can use a washable rag and water to clean your but during that time of the month yeah somethings are a needed comfort item
@@kimberlycoast1305 I got a menstrual cup 7 years ago. Never going back. I have one in my bathroom, one in my bug out bag and one in my get home bag. I also keep a small plastic sport cap bladder bottles in my bag. If I need to I can fill it with water and I have a makeshift bidet. Of course I live somewhere with lots of water. Can’t walk 5 miles without hitting a creek.
I have two small infant sized towels. One for number one and the other for number 2. I also carry a medium sized microfiber towel for multi use. You can always wipe your teeth with a rag.
Thanks for this video. It kinda got me redoing my bugoutbag..
As in what you could add:
2 zippo handwarmers... cold hands keep you from handling your gear well..
You everything in your backpack, I suggest that you get some chest webbing, put the essentials in the webbing, if you are being chased, you quickly dump your pack, you still have the essentials on you, also I would put your radio in a solar flare box so it still works after the flare
I been watching your videos for years and I enjoy them and are informative!! I am a disabled vet, lost my left leg last year and I get ideas from your videos and others!! This past year we had two Hurricanes, ice storm and 100 year flooding, and now facing another Hurricane! Yes I live in Southwest Louisiana, town called Sulphur next to Lake Charles!!
I’m fortunate to already live in my BOL but I still need a go bag to either help get myself home or bug out in the event of a forest fire or zombie hoard overrunning our homestead.
Zombies are the worst ones.. pack a long sharp stick as well
Same here.
Always need a plan B
so you're in the Portland or Seattle areas.... LoL. couldn't resist, zombies. are. real.
@@recondo886 thankfully well removed from that area! Too bad the west coast is overrun by the undead.
My bug out bag is maybe 25lb sling style pack. Black. Only thing I carry on the outside is a small flashlight and something that resembles the local bus pass.
The best ever. Thanks for taking the time to share!🇺🇸❤️😎
Great video and awesome content. Thank you. One critique as an emergency physician. I would choose a different antibiotic. Amoxicillin is not adequate coverage for what you would encounter such as wound infections and or pneumonia etc. I would keep ciprofloxacin instead. Maybe doxycycline too. Can even be used for children although with care. Doxy not for pregnant women. But great content.
not sure if I could get ciprofloxacin over the counter, but I've gotten amoxicillin many times and maybe just once I got doxycycline.
Cipro is my go to antibiotic but all I keep reading and hearing is that it is insanely dangerous. Weakened and ripped Achilles tendons, paralysis, loss of mobility through weakened tendons, but in this day of misinformation, who knows.
@@genkiferal7178, buy cipro and doxy online, just order fish antibiotics, it's the same exact medication
Best to have a few different ones. Amoxicillin is one of the most broad spectrum antibiotics, so probably had the most uses, also probably the easiest antibiotic you can get. If necessary go to a physician and ask them to prescribe you some for traveling to undeveloped countries.
Being age 53 and in decent shape (Active Scoutmaster with backpacking trips once a month) the most I've ever carried in a backpack is 30 lbs of gear. At an average of 10 miles a day that'll wear you out with a quickness. One mans essentials are definitely not anothers. Also depends on the situation if if you know where you will be headed.
I agree, a lot of redundancy in this video
@@wrfa6mb I think it's set up is good and fit for him. Personally, I prefer to have much less food and more comfort to sleep and a set of spare clothes + 2 more socks (therefore 3 extra). I think everyone has different weaknesses. you just have to practice to know what you will need for you.
I’ve never seen so much name brand stuff that is extremely expensive and most I wouldn’t waste my time. Out of his 40 lbs ( which I believe was very conservative) I’d say 30lbs was just fluff. As someone that was a Boy Scout that then went into the army Rangers where I specialized in wilderness survival from mountains dessert and swamp. I can truly say you need a way to hold and filter water, a container to heat and cook, a knife, a saw(or saw blade), a way to make fire, a poncho, some 550 cord, a bag to put everything in. With practice this is all you need to get by. It’s better to carry food and clothes then tons of gear you never need. Skills are more important than gear. Like making cord from a water bottle. Can’t stress enough training will save your life. Videos and books help but the difference between a beginner and a pro is not messing up it knowing what to do when everything goes wrong.
@@richardhenry1969 any advice for us with kids?
@@GeorgeOrwellWasRight my advice that I was trained over and over.
If you want to prepare, you need to practice.
With kids and family you need to make it fun. Go on hikes first , get kids used to carrying packs ( water /lunch)
Then do weekend trips(Friday night /quick camp setup) then Saturday and Sunday hiking, fishing,navigation (very important to teach kids how to read maps. Start with trail knowledge( hard roads, trails with makers)
The more time you spend in the outdoors the more you find what gear you need.
Nobody will make it without training.
These videos give you a idea but unless you do the work your just looking for failure.
The best advice I can give would be join a boyscout troop. You might have to try different ones.
I've been training my nephew he can't wait for boyscouts he didn't like cub scouts has much ,we're looking for another troop we didn't fit in.
That's my opinion I hope helps any questions in particular just ask.
My background is very extensive in survival. Even if it's a bit outdated 😆
Love the channel!!
Going to be backpacking the UK and Europe next month and your videos have been awesome!
Much love bro 😁👍
Hey Nate, you mentioned discreet/ grey man style backpacks, I've been using a under armour backpack, with MOLLE webbing along the front, they make pretty sturdy packs, I've even tested out the MOLLE which seems pretty well attached, I'm sure you have no shortage of bags, just offering the suggestion if you wanna try one out.
Keep the MOLLE backpack use a Civilian Backpack Cover ..dark Grey is best it blends in ANY environment and light condition s
I wish I had your strength. I cannot carry more than 15-20kg in my pack for longer distances. That's why I go with lightweight gear.
My knife is a flat saber grind with a convex edge btw :) but it can be easily changed to a V edge if someone wants to.
Buy all bug-out gear ultralight
Lilly try Utlising a carry belt ,as it's wait is on your hips not the back ,it can also take some of the back pack weight off your back too.
Survival Lilly in da house!!!!🏆
One thing no one ever mentions is spare room in your backpack, extra room to stash something important you might find/need depending on the situation. Also, another backpack/fanny pack etc. that you can part ways, lend to your friend or someone you meet down the road. I'm loving the overload shelf on the new Mystery Ranch backpacks that quickly doubles the amount of stuff you can haul and even awkward bulky items without losing room from your backpack.
I agree. When I go our for a 10 day nature hike I pack a 55 liter backpack for instance. Just before I leave I throw everything in a 75 liter backpack not adding anything. This means on the road I can just stuff my gear in there instead of folding and fitting everything tight. It's more bulk but not more weight. And you still have room left for stuff you find or need on the way. Like a 6 pack of beers for instance.
Totally agree. Lots of light weight flash packs or even good string bags available for this.
Fold out molle backpack 20 kg, fits on my belt..
That is why I loved using a dump pouch while doing airsoft... Realized it is way more useful in the wilderness too
One of the best video's I've seen in quite some time. Keep up the good work.
Amoxicyllin and charcoal for a poultice on eye infections. In Australia we have gastro stop. It's used by hospitals for drug rehabilitation. As you know: pain meds block you up?
This was very informative. Thank you, I've gotten several new ideas. But more than likely this would be something I kept in my truck when I need to make a quick getaway from my primary location to my secondary. Only needing to carry it to my night spot or setting up at my next location. However, for foot bugout something more around 40# is probably more realistic for most people.
Some advice (all the gear has been tested in the field)
-Look into getting a Carinthia bivy bag, preferably an XP 2 Hooped bivy (for max comfort v weight ratio) or Combat bivy (lightest option). Ditch the emergency one. These are as good as they get, the US army one is too heavy and bulky also less breathable. The most compact one is the Combat bivy. Nothing beats Carinthia, used by special forces worldwide, will last a lifetime.
-German army foldable sleeping mat (it fits inside of your backpack and acts as a backplate).
-Also, ditch your emergency blanket for a "Thermartex Heat Reflective blanket" (made in the UK), these are next gen blankets and they will outlast everything else on the market, they work great + almost noiseless, feels like actual fabric. It comes in green.
For shtf gotta have a hockey helmet or bmx helmet on might encounter a booby trap or slip and fall or someone might have a melee weapon trying to take your stuff, and i would throw in night vision and stay put during the day
I ditched almost all my paracord for rebar wire. Obviously heavier but easy to cut twist and manipulate plus it’s very sturdy
I tried to follow the basic principles in setting up my bags--food, shelter, fire, water, etc. On that, I have a tent on the side, but can build a basic shelter easily enough. I have camo tarps specific for shelter needs, as well as a thermal sided blanket. The rest is pretty generic for bags. Hatchet, knife, a couple fire kits, compass, basic boo boo med kit, trauma kit, etc.
I went with an extended 10 C's for all my bags (vehicle, BOB, etc. Also, my EDC (Altoids tin) has as many of the 10 C's as I could represent, which is more than you would think.
@@sandym6760 Working on food, right now. I have a lot of the basics. Want more, but we live below the poverty line. Money is a limitation. As well, so is living in Canada. Gun laws are different up here. My main point, at the moment, is storing up as much preserved food as possible. My bags are good enough. Don't need gucci bags. lol
@@OutlawCaliber13 if you can have pistols, its the onky gun you need. A rifle is not only obvious, but useless to a bug out. You should never be an agressor. If people are shooting st you with rifles, your priority is evasion

As an ex-military ASF operator-my first choice is: my handgun, my Bullpup shotgun and my Scorpion Bullpup carbine. Ammo!
