My Work/Short Distance Get Home Bag. Complete Loadout. Every Day Work Carry.

- čas přidán 5. 04. 2021
- This video features my every day carry, work/short distance travel get home bag and its contents. This bag is with me whenever I travel 30 minutes to an hour from my home. It contains the bare essentials to get me back to my family if I need to ditch my truck and return on foot. If you don't carry a get home bag, I highly recommend putting one together. Just something that can get you back home alive and to your loved ones if a SHTF situation presents itself.

One of the best kits I've seen.
Your kits’ items listings are becoming my go-to lists for my own kits. Keep showing us more. Thanks.
Nice kit. This is exactly what I need to get made up to keep in my truck. Thanks.
Great kit! Thank you, I’m going to prep a go bag ASAP!
This bag is impressive I’ve gone through a bunch of videos and you got everything you need with out breaking the bank and perfectly organized
It's pretty cool how you can fit in all those things into one small bag. Most definitely gonna use this as a guide, next time I go out
Nice job with such a small pack. Stay safe and prepared
PSA: Wash that bandana at least 3 to 5 times running it through a dryer each time. you will be thankful you did if you ever have to use it.
Most practical and realistic kit I’ve seen for a long time. Well done.
Thank you.
Instead of bashing on what is and isn't in the video, I am actually interested in setting up a pack of my own. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. I for one appreciate the info.
Thanks! I’m more than happy to share my thoughts and ideas. I just wish people would realize that not everyone has the same needs and skill sets. We are all going to carry something different that works for us! Thanks for watching!
@@NEP_Chris
I agree. Mine will be set up similar to yours but as a motorcycle commuter. Any ideas?
@@cedrichollowell856 just make it your own. Think about the climate in your area and what kind of skill sets you have. Choose the items that you are comfortable with. Redundancy is always good too. 👍
Exactly, I have watched dozens of these videos, there is commonality in a lot of these kits, there are items I personally wouldn’t carry but understand why others would and every now and then there are the, “Hey what a cool idea” moments.
Looks like an excellent kit. Not over done, just perfect. 🇨🇦
Thanks!
What a fab look at your life and how you don’t just take the traditional ‘route’. I always feel I have a far better time in life too when it’s an adventure and not the easy route
God Bless ✝️🥰
I think that I will make a get home bag. It would have come in handy winter before last when I was out of town and lost my truck keys. My van has no heater so I was extremely cold.
I have a larger camping bag coming so I will convert my smaller bag into a get home kit. In addition to that I have a 75 liter INCH bag set up for long term survival.
Thanks for the motivation.
That's a great loadout !
Outstanding! Really well stocked with essentials.
Thanks! I was amazed at how much that little bag could hold. Thanks for watching!
Very good kit, nice gear!
Ooh I like that flashlight
Super well built I believe in making your own kits the pre packaged ones often include much stuff that is either useless or so cheap as to be ineffective
I loved this video! I also use a sling bag, which you don’t hear too many using, Not only do I use mine like yours, but I take it with me any time I ride with someone else, whether it’s going to visit Family, Friends or to town to the store for some supplies.
My car is set up for anything I would need while traveling if I’d break down and I have my sling bag every time I leave the house in case I’d have to walk home.
But once I went with a family member to run an errand and my sling bag was in my car at the house, and we broke down along the road, and I just assumed they would have prepared items!? Nope!
All they had was a bottle of hand sanitizer, a mask, some napkins from Dairy Queen, and a half empty water bottle!! 😮, their Cell phone was 23% no charger! That was it!!
I had my EDC items. But that taught me a lesson right there, not everyone is even slightly prepared.
So if we go with somebody else, in their car or what ever need to take your Get home bag!
Fantastic !!! The best assortment of survival gear I've seen so far. If you have the time I'd really appreciate your advice on 72 hour bags and solar chargers for charging smartphones, etc. I was so impressed by the thoughtfulness you displayed in stocking your get home bag that I immediately subscribed to your channel.
Great setup and video 👍
Nice bag man and pretty well thought out!
I really love bags!
Very good ideas. Thank you very much
Good kit. It's funny when you showed the moleskin I thought Gee I hope you have a change of socks too lol sure did. I would recommend exchanging the 30 gallon bags for the large industrial drum liners 50-60 gallon. I tried the 90 gallon ones but I couldn't find them thick enough.
Recently found your channel, thanks for keeping the time under 15 minutes!
I try to keep them short and sweet. No one wants to hear the same explanations over and over for the same items pretty much everyone else carries. Lol. If I find something new that I haven’t seen before, I usually spend a LITTLE more time on why I chose it but, 7 minutes or less is my preferred duration! Thanks for watching.
Nice job. Like to see a gear test video. The walking part of getting home is pretty straight forward. What happens between the walking is what makes the bag valuable.
I’m definitely planning on doing something like this. In the middle of a move and renovation at the moment so new content is still a few weeks off. Keep watch though and thanks for watching!
Awesome 😊 thank you for sharing 👍
Nice bag features
Totally agree on the socks. Have extra in my vehicle and my edc bag. I also carry anti-diarrhea meds. No need to make a tough situation worse.
Gotta have dry socks. No trench foot for me. And I do usually have some kind of anti diarrhea meds with me but, I can’t take it myself. Makes me ungodly sick. Thanks for watching!
My husband has this same thing. He has a lunch bag backpack that he uses it’s really nice.
Awww bro NY? I'm watching everything now 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Outstanding load out! I’m just North of you in Kingston Ontario Canada! I always pop over to Watertown, love being in NY state, you guys are awesome!!!
I’m just a few miles from Watertown 👍
very well thought out 5 stars
Thank you for watching! 👍
Sweet GHB! Enjoyed it.
Great video not full of a bunch of fluff,down to the point,concice.I carry a similar setup a little more first aid. Thanks for sharing
That Get home bag is Quite well packed out! You've got all your major components c covered! Since you mentioned moleskin, I'm gonna add that to mine! Great video!
Blisters are the worst when your walking! Thanks for checking this video out!
chicken broth is genius. Nice bag
An extremely well thought out kit. The only two things that I would add would be a tourniquet and some sort of cordage unless I missed it. (I'm watching while cooking) A big hank of paracord is not necessary. 20-25 feet of bank line. Even the thin #18 bank line is strong enough for most applications and would barely take up any room at all.
pretty perfect!
Nice kit
Liked ur bag hidden compartment
Great set! Sooo gooood
Thanks! I need to do an update video on this one. A LOT has changed.
Really nice set up.
Thank you! Updated video coming soon.
I’m from Orange County too. Looks like a great kit for this area.
I’m from Oswego county :) Thanks for watching!
Now after watching this video i want to plan a trip.
Nice video. I was surprised when you took the maps out, because I live in the same county. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Perfect kit
Thanks! Perfect for what I need. Maybe not for everyone else 🙂
Very good kit.
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
As for repairs I always keep zip ties with me with the duct tape. I also keep my maps in a ziplock bag for waterproofing. As for shelter I like having an emergency blanket/tarp for a cover. Also being in Florida I keep a hammock in my to get off the ground if needed. But the most important thing during the summer is bug spray. The mosquitoes will eat you alive down here. Check out the titan preparedness get home challenge. I’m taking my recce ruck/get home kit out for a long day hike then setting up shelter for some stealth camping. Making sure everything works and in order. Nicely done!👍🍻
Normally I have zip ties but my kids got into them and used them for crafts. Lol. Gotta go to harbor freight and grab some more. Good call on the maps. My bag has always sat in the truck so I never considered it getting wet. The trash bags that I have in there will server as a ground cloth, I couldn’t fit much else. In my main bag I have a big SOL emergency tarp. I’ll be adding bug repellent and a mosquito head net as soon as hat and gloves weather has over which seems to be never this year lol. Once my new property dries out, I’m going to take a couple weekends to do dry runs with my various bags and kits. Just to make sure what I have is working for me. That’s something I suggest everyone does. Don’t just add stuff because it’s cool. Add what you are comfortable with and what works well for you. Can’t stress that enough. I see too many people adding tactical this and tactical that. Why??!! Add what works, not what makes you look cool. Thanks for watching and for the suggestions. I see you have a couple new vids up, I gotta get over to your channel and check them out👍🍺
Nice. Basically the same kit I put together since I work 90 minutes from home and Michigan winters are crazy. I recently upgraded two things though. A military type poncho that can be converted into a shelter etc and a $20 reflective mylar survival blanket that can be used as shelter or a ground cover. Also I keep a knapsack in my trunk with hiking boots and insulated hiking pants and jacket that I could walk for hours in sub-zero weather like it's nothing. Also I replaced my battery pack with a weather radio flashlight battery pack combination
I’ve completely rebuilt this bag since this video. Once I get things situated with the new studio (just purchased a new house), it will be the first video I make. I definitely want to get a military style poncho. I have looked at several but never seem to decide on one. Probably should since winter is coming up. As for the Mylar blanket, I use the SOL emergency Mylar blankets. They have never let me down and you can’t beat the price. I always have Carhartt overalls, jacket and good boots in my truck this time of year. I can’t part with my battery pack, it’s been a staple in my kit for a long time. But I do have an emergency radio/flashlight in my upgraded bag. The bag has gotten significantly bigger but, in the winter, I just need a little more with me.
@@NEP_Chris thanks. I just looked at the SOL blankets and I'm going to buy one of the three packs so I can put one in each of my daughter's cars for the winter
ahoy fellow michigander! here comes the snow.
You had my thumbs up at birthday candles.
So much easier to carry than the tea lights most people carry and they work the same. I wanna grab some of the trick candles so they are a little more resistant to the elements. Thanks for watching!
Nice little pack thanks for sharing! New sub!
pretty impressive how almost everything i have in my bag when i go out is here haha! got almost the same stuff there.
I'm just here binging on your videos
New one uploading as we speak. Just taking forever for some reason. About 20 more minutes lol. 👍
I have much of the same in my bag but I also carry a basic pair of slip joint pliers in case I have to grab something hot or I need to get a grip to pull something open. I also carry a large flathead screwdriver and 8" pry bar (small profile type) in case I need to pry something open.
Nice options. 8” pry bar and bolt cutters are in my pack whenever my get-home includes a suburban or urban environment. I keep them in a mini tool roll.
I have a second tool roll for rural/woodland environment that swaps out when I’m going that direction. Silky Pocketboy, Mora Garberg, 6” ferro rod, etc.
excellent choice on the moleskin!! I can second wanting that for anyone not used to walking long distances on any terrain. Your feet wont be used to it yet, and take a beating.
My bag has a "foot kit" - Moleskin, a pair of cotton socks, a pair of wool socks, several flexible fabric Bandaids, and a small container of Gold Bond. I have a weird toe that sometimes gets blistered, even without a long walk home. If I had to face a 20 mile hike, I wouldn't get far without taking care of that toe right away.
YES REVIEW THE BAG !
Good kit. I would reconsider the colored bandana for urban situations.
I need to repack it and free up some room. I have an orange bandana behind the paracord on the outside right now. I need to do an update video on this.
I like your bag it covers all the bases without going overboard with heavy equipment like other bags I've seen.... No need to cook meals ... No need for a fishing kit... The only thing I would add is a SWAT-T tourniquet..(inexpensive lightweight and doubles as a pressure bandage) perhaps some blood stopper powder.. a box of two packs for $5 at Walmart.... I also carry a tiny Sterno...justb to let you know Walmart has a 7x5 backpacker tarp."outdoor brand" .. very lightweight and inexpensive.. I carry this tarp & 4 aluminum lightweight small tent stakes... For cordage I use#90 Paracord . Which is really the skinny but strong paracord 50 ft length! Took very little room and weight !
I definitely need to add a tourniquet. It’s one of those thing that I seem to overlook when I’m updating my kit. I have an updated video for my edc/get home bag coming soon actually. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a solid kit. Ever thought of adding something to handle a bleeder? Quikclot or similar.
Everyone needs is exactly those assistance
Cannae fault ye on that yin bud. Nice pack. 🏴
Nice, was waiting for a flat screen TV to get pulled out. Good content 👌
So you think I carry too much? Version 2 will be slimmed down quite a bit.
@@NEP_Chris I don't think they meant that you have too much. I think they meant that you have it all covered. Great video. You gave me some ideas. Thanks ☺️
I think everything you have is necessary and I lnspired me to reevaluate my bag. Great video
Nice kit! I hadn't thought of safety pins. I will be adding a few to my bag. I think with the safety pins and gorilla tape, you could consider ditching the sewing kit.
Awesome 👏
Thanks for watching!
Looks like a nice kit that’s not overly expensive (looking over to some folks with their IR-Lamps and night vision)!
What’s missing for me, which might be based on the environment I live in, is some sunscreen and a light hat (base cap of boonie hat) against sun and rain. Furthermore I‘d carry some zip-ties and a fair bit of paracord (around 5m/16ft) to fix or repair stuff.
What I do keep around, in a seperate simple bag in my car, is a full set of suitable clothing (worn down cargo pants, t-shirt, hoodie, boots) as I regularly wear suit and tie for work with fancy shoes, a sucker to walk home in.
Once again, a nice kit with strict reasoning for everything you got. My additions may be seen as such, not as an „how could you miss that?“
Add a long sleeve tshirt to the short sleeve shirt in case it cools off at night . That and a hoodie gets me thru most of the winter in Northern Va .
Very practical setup you have going on. Mine is just about the same as yours in the same military style sling backpack. I don't think I saw money but it would be a good thing to have such as an emergency $20 (1- $10/1- 5$/5- 1$) in a waterproof capsule. After seeing your video I will definitely leave a dedicated get home pair of shoes in the car an socks!
I would also add some measurements of protection. However seeing as your from NY I think it would be taboo to have spare pistol caliber rounds to carry on you. Also, don't listen to the "WhY Do YoU NeEd To CaRrY aLl tHaT StUfF" comments. Those are the same people that are willfully unprepared for unforeseen situations and will wish they had half the stuff you have when emergencies happen.
Nice. I have similar stuff in mine. I keep a Pocket Constitution in mine, carry rights with me. I just think it's a good idea. I also keep a bag of disposable masks in mine, just in case.
Pretty good setup! I would add in some Advil, tylenol, benedryl/allergy meds, and loperamide. Never know if the stress from the unexpected might be enough to wreak havoc on your body.
Thanks. And I have most of those meds in the pack 👍
Nice job. You did well my fellow peer.
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Kudos for including mole skin & clean socks!
agreed. people who don't hike long distances regularly wont appreciate this until it's too late. They'll be unable to walk after the first 10 miles.
Great kit, reminds me I want to get a good pair or two of wool socks. Only for my GHB. I'm afraid to look at the prices. I put the match Striker inside the waterproof case just in case it gets wet then it won't strike.
100% wool socks go on clearance around spring time up here in MN.
30 minutes to an hour from home. I'll call an Uber..LOL..Just Kidding.....Great bag, a lot of stuff in a little package. You touched on just about everything one may need.
This bag has slimmed down a lot since this video. Completely re-thought (is that a word?) everything and kept ONLY what I might really need. Its more focused on more realistic situations and solutions now bit still has a bit for the unexpected. Thanks for watching.
Great video . Short and to the point. Amazing you got that much stuff in that small bag!
I didn’t see any paracord? And first aid.
I think I just put Kevlar cord in this bag. And there was a side pocket devoted to first aid. Thanks for watching!
nice one 👌
Great kit! Most folks don't think about the moleskin. Add some Goldbond powder. Get the travel size. I've also added walmart flavor packets. They're light and it helps to have flavored water sometimes. Great kit though.
Goldbond is a great idea, especially with how hot it’s been out here this year. I actually have removed the drink mixes from all my bags because I’ve started to dislike the taste of the sugar substitute in them. I’m looking for something to replace them that tastes good to me. Definitely open to suggestions on that. I did have a bottle of Mio (I think that’s how it’s spelled) that I didn’t mind but the bottle started to leak so that ended that pretty quick. Thanks for watching! 👍
Great kit, I need to add a knife sharpener to my kit, thanks for the tip.
Thanks for watching!
nice one
Nice get home bag. I like a ll the redundancy! I learned from you I need to add medical tape and moleskin to my get home bag! One thing that I have different is an 18650 USB-C rechargeable flashlight (Sofirn SC31Pro) with removable battery so I can charge other 18650 cells. In addition I have 2 of the Olight UC Magnetic USB Chargers. So its a triple redundancy and that would compliment your Anker power bank for example. The Olight UC Magnetic USB Chargers are cheap, take very little space, add lithium and NIMH charging. I also carry the Fenix E20 V2.0 so charging 2 AA at once is perfect using the magnetic chargers. Sofirn SC31Pro is very customizable for the stepped modes and full of features being Anduril firmware. I think its the cheapest Anduril flashlight there is currently. Its not my favorite Anduril flashlight but great for the price.
I try to keep everything that I have that’s battery operated running on AAA batteries. I have one of those o light AAA battery chargers that will charge a single AAA had a time. But the flashlights I use from anchor just plug into my power bank. They can also be powered off any AAA batteries so if my rechargeables give out I can just drop new batteries into them. Thanks for watching my video!
see your in oswego im in brewerton had to subscribe, love the video
Yep. Good ole’ cold and snowy Oswego. Thanks for watching! 👍
Cool video man! I have emergency /get home /shtf bag in my car. It's a kind of in between but I am always glad to see others peoples bags to compare and discuss...
One thing I would definetly add:
a spare shirt and Undies. just in case you unexpectedly need to stay a night somwhere.
and what about the bag itself? I have a Mil-Tec 25 liter backpack which is great for organising stuff. So many pouches and sleeves to store things. Its super light and compact but a little small for my needs. Isn't a sling bag a little messy? It seems like you have everything loose in there.. But I can see the pros of someting that goes over your sholder and not on your back..
It’s all a matter of preference. I prefer a small sling bag. It fights right to my back and carries what I need. If the strap started bothering my shoulder/arm, I flip it to the other side. I’m not big on tons of pockets. Makes looking for something quick a bit of a pain, but that is purely a personal preference. I’d rather have a big open area and use separate pouches/bags within that pouch to organize my stuff. With a bag as small as this, I have no issues finding what I need. As for the shirt and underwear, I couldn’t agree more. I just need to do a little bit of re-packing to fit them in. I’d like to just make a skivvy roll to toss in it. I have a small butt pack attachment that will fit the bottom of that bag perfect that I intend to use for some extra clothes. Life has just kept me busy the past couple weeks lol. Thanks for watching!
Excellent only suggestion is keep the mirror and whistle in the micro pouch that way it’s always with you even if you have to drop the bag
I’m going to add separate ones to that. That way I have some redundancy! Thanks for watching!
Nice compact kit. I would maybe add a cup that nested with the Kleen Kanteen. Otherwise, very well done.
Normally I have a nesting cup but, my kids like to “borrow” things. I didn’t realize until after I made the video that it was missing! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the input! I just got my bag in the mail today.
It’s a great bag for the price. Mine has been used and abused and no issues at all.
@@NEP_Chris Can you recommended a larger size?
@@cyndibarnett9164 depends on your price range.
@@NEP_Chris no more than $150
@@cyndibarnett9164 check out the 5.11 Moab 6 or Moab 10. They are a little on the pricey side but we’ll worth it.
Nice!!!!!!!!!
Looks pretty good my dude, I've got a similar setup in my car, nearly identical actually but I think my overall kit is probably a little heavier
I haven’t weighed mine but I’m guessing it’s right around 5 to 7 lbs. Thanks for watching!
Good job atb
Ranger bands burn very well for several minutes, just rubber! And I just switched aaa batts to Energizer Lithium batts. They are made like CR123's. They cost $1.25 each but I have thrown away more Copper Tops than I have ever used due to leakage.
I think I have plenty of stuff to burn in my kit lol. Besides, I don’t plan to make a fire unless I absolutely have too. I like to stick with aaa batteries because they are common and easy to come by if needed.
Thanks a lot
Great get home bag brother but you absolutely have to a CAT Tourniquet and some sort of bleed control like QuickClot.
Great video.
Great advice! Thanks for watching!
I love your bag reviews! Have you done any First Aid kit reviews? I’m looking for one where it’s easy to keep the contents organized.
I actually just had a first aid kit sent to me by a friend. I'm working on a review now. Thanks for watching!
Lots of useful equipement, maybe too many knives and multitools.. I would add more water, but probably your area has it. Cheers
I like it. In my bag 🎒 I start with 2 full liters of water, so I don't have to find some, and a rain jacket , a giid item for my are.
I have water in my car right near to my bag.
THE TRUTH IS IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU CARRY IN YOUR PACK IF YOU HAVE SHOES THAT ARE UNCOMFORTABLE OR POORLY CONSTRUCTED. YOU AINT GOING TO GET FAR IF YOU CAN'T WALK...
Love the kit👍 ya def review the bag plz
I’ll definitely pull it outta the closet and do a review!
Great kit ! Consider adding emergency cash in there, somewhere.
Thanks! And I definitely need to add cash. Problem is, my kids find it and spend it as fast as I stash it. Lol.
I think its a good set up, If you were to have to deviate from going strait home and you needed to walk the 24-48 hrs to get there. In my case its 4 hrs to walk to my house aprox 18 miles, In my case i would carry about half that mostly clothing, food and water to last me 16 hrs. deviation time if need be. Although your bag is super complete keeping in the car it makes sense tho, you may not always be at work when you need your bag . could always toss stuff out in the back seat if you didnt need to carry it.
Do you work out a lot and/or are tall? You're covering a lot of ground quickly there.
That's a lot, I have a pack with Camelback water bladder, a pebble and jawbreakers to help thirst. Many of the same things as you do. Please add. POTASSIUM IODIDE TABLETS, just in case. 🤗
