    One thing I always think is overlooked, that I almost always carry, is a deck of cards. You'd be amazed at how helpful that is to take your mind off things when you're just waiting for something to happen. Half of surviving is psychological. Keeping your mind active while conserving energy is vital.

      That, and if you get lost in the woods, you can play solitaire. It won’t be too long before somebody walks up behind you and says “Put the black six on the red seven.”

      Yep, the psychological aspect of survival is, sadly, very commonly overlooked.

    • @aceggkspade958
      @aceggkspade958 Před 3 lety +3

      Yeah but you never know. I would say he could put a few different things in there. Number 1. Really good Walky talkies. Number 2 a life straw. Number 3 one of the bags should have a few smaller black and cable pulleys. You may have to move a downed tree to get through, I had to do that once and pulled out a few of those and good to go. Also, a silky saw and a hatchet. I have a survival bag for me and my wife and daughter, all slightly tailored and I have one more with just tools. Do I bring them everywhere? No of course not. Not if I’m going to the store or running errands or work. Do I bring them anytime we go on a road trip, or camping, or if my work takes me a few hours away? Yep every time. Also if your state permits a gun, at least a pistol. If your in a state with large wildlife like bears and mountain lions like I am in Utah, a pistol with some higher caliber rounds or FMJ’s or hollow tips. Something with some good stopping power. Just last year this guy was on a hike and almost got eaten by a mountain lion in Utah, crazy video, but look that up. I also bring more cash, but that’s just me. And one last thing, a nice empty mountain back pack so if I need to walk or go on a hike or travel by foot I can do so and pack just what I need out of the bags. My wife and daughter may stay put and I may need to travel by foot. And if we know we are doing a road trip or camping we have our big tent but I always bring my small two person hammock tent, just in case there’s a break down. We can get above some ground wildlife like snakes and bugs, and raccoons and be suspended in the trees. Which is perfect if we break down and I set them up with a fire and that while I trek towards civilization

  • @jonw7937
    @jonw7937 Před 4 lety +49

    I would include a stainless steel bottle that you can use on a fire. If you're out for too long, you might need to purify some water to keep yourself hydrated. Inside that bottle I would keep a clean bandana and some good strong rubber bands in there. That way you can cover the opening with the bandana to filter out large particulates and place it in the stream to get slightly cleaner water. It's still not really drinkable until you boil it, but at least it keeps it free of stuff you don't want to drink.
    I also like to carry this nifty wind up flashlight that doubles as a charger and a radio.

    Nice practical bob vid, i feel like a lot of people think that when they "bug out" they will be kicking doors and practicing extreme survival skills. I appreciate seeing a kit that is grounded by reality.

  • @dzoinc1555
    @dzoinc1555 Před 7 lety +63

    A head lamp is essential. I'd also suggest a backpack style bag. Running with a single strap is not easy.

    • @jameslandon4126
      @jameslandon4126 Před 7 lety +9

      I agree. For items I plan on keeping in my vehicle or just general transport, I just use old military issue duffel bags. The essential items for bugging out, I keep them in a bag with backpack straps because it is much easier to run and gun when the pack is securely affixed to your back.

    As a scout leader i can vouch that these are great things to carry! I have got one small correction though. You don't actually lose most of your heat through your head, it's a common misconception though. You loose most of the heat through your torso. Thing is, almost everyone got some kind of clothing keeping the heat in on the torso. But people forget their heads. So the "You lose 80% of heat through you head", is because it's often the only barren skin on the body. Thus, obviously giving off heat more easily. Until you put on a hat or beanie of some sort.
    Anyways, great video with good tips!

  • @JuBlaine

  • @bcb2585
    @bcb2585 Před 4 lety +2

    Great video!! As I watch though I came up with two changes/ additions to your list. Other than these things I thought that your kit was great!
    1. The canteen should be metal.
    2. Your knife should not be a cheap knife. If it really is for survival, then why wouldn't you put your best knife inside, or at least an extremely good one? Your future hypothetical self will curse you in a disaster when all you give yourself is junk.
    3. I would add a tarp for shelter, maybe a second tarp as a ground sheet in case you have to sleep in the rain.
    4. I would also add a small folding saw, like the BAHCO Laplander or Silky Gomboy to help process a small fire in the cold.
    5. You may want a pair of Binoculars or a monocular to see further ahead of you to check for the myriad things worth seeing.

  • @wcsd9577
    @wcsd9577 Před 4 lety +1

    I'd also add a couple things. I keep an old towel, like a beach towel in my truck in case I need to dry off for whatever reason, cut it up for rags or bandages, or more than likely in case I need to work on my truck to keep a barrier between myself and hot asphalt. Gloves are another good thing to have. Even cheap work gloves or mechanic's gloves are far better than nothing if it's cold, or to protect your hands for whatever reason. Another thing I'd suggest are plastic bags. Even if you have your own raincoat, someone else might not. A 40-gallon trash bag sure isn't a great replacement for a rain coat but you can cut a couple holes in it and make a makeshift poncho, maybe only get halfway soaked during a downpour but better than being fully drenched. Also from personal experience I highly recomment grocery bags. I've used them to keep my feet dry. I was stuck in a snowstorm and spent the night in a cabin after getting wet and cold all night trying to make it there and get cars unstuck. My shoes and socks were still soaked the next morning. I put my only dry change of socks on, put the grocery bag over them to keep them dry, put my wet socks over the plastic bag to protect it and then put my shoes back on. After a whole morning of stomping through the wet snow trying to get out of there my feet were still dry. Ever since then I always keep a couple plastic bags with my emergency gear.

  • @blitzkriegatx4583

  • @Darchondrius
    @Darchondrius Před 7 lety +1

    Hey Cody, there's this neat little book I grabbed at a Barnes and Nobles called "Pocket Ref, by Thomas J. Glover." It's a small 2.5''x4''x1'' thick reference book with a HUGE range of useful information that you might run into every day, from common densities and strengths of metals/polymers, magnetic declination maps, automotive references, electronics and circuitry reference, loading values for concrete and soft/hardwoods, guides for first aid procedures, area codes by state, glue strength, airport locations and phone numbers, basic geometry/trigonometry for quick calculations, geology, knot tying, steel strength, etc. It has everything. It's got information on basically anything you'd need to quickly reference and I find myself glancing at it and learning something new every single day. It's the perfect pocket-sized book for quickly figuring out something I don't know. The one downside is that, because of how in-depth it is (850 pages), the paper is very thin, and of course it's not waterproof so I keep it in a zip-lock when I go camping/hiking. I think the retail is $12.95, but it's honestly the best money I've spent on a book in my entire life. It would make a perfect addition to this bag, I'd highly suggest grabbing one from Amazon or your nearest book store and giving it a glance.

  • @garageman_
    @garageman_ Před 7 lety +44

    Very good kit, one thing I notice you are missing is a tarp. Sure you could build a shelter every night on your 4-5 day walk but that is a lot of calories that you probably don't have and I think you would be pretty damn happy if you had one in that situation.

    • @andrewwinchel4659
      @andrewwinchel4659 Před 6 lety +4

      Old military poncho doubles as a shelter. The metal eyelets are good for tying the corners to trees and such. The snaps allow two or more to be connected for a bigger shelter or to have sides. And you can use it for a rain coat or to help keep you warm. You can sit over a candle and it will hold in the warmth a bit. A poncho will go over your pack while hiking too. You can tri fold it over some limbs to make a stretcher as well if needed. Very versatile. Throw down grass or whatever for bedding, and throw the poncho down over it to keep clean, a moisture barrier, and keep your bedding in place better. Many uses. Probably could even make a hammock out of it.

    You know the big silver/thermal car covers? Stretch them over the entire car? Instant shelter, just gotta take care of breathing/air issues. Much better than freezing inside a vehicle that's basically a huge heatsink, I'm talking about during winter conditions of course, for the sake of keeping heat inside a vehicle compared to the weight and size requirements for carriage and storage it's worth it.

    Growing up in L.A I always had a emergency pack.
    Road closers and other situations it required the minimum kit.
    2 gal water
    Cans of soup
    First aid kit
    Flashlight
    Batteries
    Mini radio
    Tarp
    Blanket
    Pocket stove / matches
    Lighter
    It helped after the Northridge quake when I was stuck at work 24 hrs.

    One caution on the MRE. They lose shelf life in heat by a significant amount. If the bag is being kept in a vehicle, it can get quite hot in there. Granola bars, bags of nuts, etc. might be a better choice and cheaper.

      I have a pair of hiking shoes in my vehicle constantly, mostly because I like to hike but also when I go fishing I usually wear flip flops. In the winter living in the Northeast, I'll put in a pair of my boots(mostly because I get a yearly boot allowance for work, so my old boots I'll use on the range, hiking harder trails, or putting in miles in the snow)

    Pretty good bag set up. Only recommendations would be to swap the down for a fleece jacket. Down is warmer but won't insulate when wet. If the rain jacket doesn't do it's job the down will get soaked. Swap out the radio for a ham/2meter radio. Ham can still receive weather band or AM/FM, also provides a means of communication. You could communicate with others is the emergency or hit a repeater and contact emergency services.

    I love that you mentioned REALISTIC SCENARIOS. I always tell friends and family to prepare for the "most likely scenario" first. Then you are 90% covered for the rest because your mindset is still in preparedness mode. You could deal with a bullet wound with what you have. It wouldn't be pretty, but you are better equipped than 90% of the EMTs in their personal car.

    Great video good advice, just wanted to point out as a one time insulation contractor that hot air (or other gas) rises due to it's lower density but heat radiates in all directions. Sometimes a house has it's worst heat loss through the basement. Still a good idea to wear a hat but heat can't rise in the body. BTW keep up the good content.

    • @averyo2521
      @averyo2521 Před 7 lety +3

      The 'you lose most of your body heat through your head' thing is partly myth. It comes from an old study the military did, which found that heat loss from your head happens at about the same rate as any other exposed skin. The 'most loss from your head' came from the scenario they ran where the only thing left exposed was the person's head - in that case then yes, its an accurate statement.
      But really the findings are that there isn't a ton of difference in heat loss per exposed square inch of your body across different parts - just that heat loss is much worse on exposed skin. So it doesn't help to wear a hat if you're wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but if you're bundled up but forget your hat - that's the next thing to fix.
      Pretty common sense in practice, nothing special about your head though I'm afraid.

      +Jack Hudler - I also agree that you should cover your head! If its cold outside and especially if you're going to be outside. The only nit I'm picking is the assertion that you lose 'most' of your heat through your head - (often quoted between 45-80%), which 10% doesn't come close to.
      Your head is around 7-8% of your body's surface area, and you lose 7-10% of your body heat through your head, so there may be a slight effect due to the extra blood vessels surface area.
      These findings were mostly the results of two different studies (linked the one I could find the full text of below). That being said, while the actual surface heat loss is close to proportional to surface area, the core body temperature appears to drop disproportionately, partially due to vasoconstriction and the body's response to cold as detected by specific sensory areas in the head and neck.
      Soooo.....everyone's right? Surface heat loss isn't as high as the common wisdom would lead you to believe, but other effects can mean that an exposed head can lead to a faster core body temperature drop.
      Either way if you're going to be out in the cold bundle up your head as well as the rest of you!
      (I just had to find the science on it - its actually really fascinating!)
      source: citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.593.9244&rep=rep1&type=pdf
      (this article comes with nits to pick too, as this tests exposure to cold water not air, and specifically eliminates the effect of shivering, both of which are factors you wouldn't see in an Oregon winter. Either way wear a darn hat!)

    Nice to see your kit! Consider that you may need to trek for miles with your bag so make sure it’s suitable for comfort and weather proof. If you use a wheel/press lighter, you can put a small cable tie around the button to prevent accidental leakage of gas. Also, for weight purposes, you can get radios with built in phone chargers and flashlights. They might not be ideal as a main phone charger or flashlight but they can be handy backups. Remember the Navy Seal saying; “two is one, one is none”. Great video and it’s great that the kit isn’t over-packed!

      Eli Chouinard You lose the most heat from your head, because your head, no matter the circumstances, always gets a constant amount of blood to keep your brain provided. Also, the veins in your head don't vasoconstrict, instead of all other veins in your body so it is more easy to loose heat from your head.

Even though we were attacked by a bear once in the BWCA I still feel ok with not carrying a hand gun. It's just too much weight to carry. I always have an axe or my wrist rocket slingshot near by to defend myself should I seriously need protection.
      Beside using a slingshot is a lost art that I intend to bring back. Lol. Slingshots are everywhere and extremely deadly if you keep calm. But then again keeping calm is the most difficult thing in life that a person NEEDS to learn for survival.
      I'm not saying I have complete control over my emotions but I did calmly lay on an operating table while a surgeon cut a 10cm stage three malignant tumor from my abdomen. It's was during the next seven months that maintaining a level of calmness that provided to be difficult. Lol

    With my kit in the electronics pocket, we also have a 3-outlet power strip. It has come in handy when traveling when only one outlet is available, and several family members need to charge phones. I like the 3-outlet because it is small but provides a couple outlets for you while still leaving one open outlet for someone else.
    A short extension cord could be used instead, but keep in mind the prongs. Our laptops use a three-prong charger (not saying laptop should be in bugout bag) so we went with the powerstrip. If your chargers are all two-prong, the go ahead and use the extension cord, the length could come in handy.
