The US Geological Service (usgs.gov) has downloadable topological maps of the entire continental US. Get some for your area and have them laminated, or at least keep them is a sealable map case. Pre-mark them with all your bug out locations and routes, include things like hiking trails and logging roads, also fire lookout towers. Get a ferro rod and learn how to use it, lighters and matches break or get wet. You can also use petroleum products as an accelerant for wet tinder, so I keep a tube of Vaseline in my med kit. An alcohol stove and a metal cup with tea bags (not coffee!) is vital in snow country, it will save your life and won't be seen from more than twenty feet away. Some heavy leather gloves for lots of reasons, a bug net and some DEET,

Is that DemolitionRanches range?

Clearly you have zero knowledge of strippers. 😂😅

A 'Go Bag' is different for each person. First option is ALWAYS ALWAYS bunker in, stay home. However, times dictate when we do have to Evac, fires, hurricane, 'most peaceful' riots, earthquake, floods, whatever. ALWAYS unique to the person, consider health, younger, middle-aged, seniors, family, knowledge and skills, and surroundings. Urban city different from New Mexico desert, from Florida everglades, from out west farms and ranches. If you have mostly highway and roads or more lakes, rivers, streams. Must not forget, OBEY THE LAWS WHERE YOU LIVE.

Personally Liquid IV has too salty of taste. I use Propel packets. Electrolytes of any kind or brand is a must!

You need the entire Jet Boil system to be able to boil water in 60 seconds. Without, it will take the same amount of time as a $1 burner.

Hell yea this video was so informative and so engaging. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences with why you have and do what you do. When you do your drills, do you do it in those same woods ? I'm constantly asking myself why get a CC if i can't do drills. What do you do? Great video per usual Kel and i support this type of content. Love me some Kellen and his boy Chief to teach me tactics

my belt, from aliexpress, is the narrower sort, when i need my ifak i can jsut rotate the belt round as i dont have a gun to brig ifak to front, the narrower sort easy to rotate, did think about the wide padded type, glad i didnt get it

i have a battle belt for work in IT, leatherman, torch, ifak, tools, poncho,my dump pouch often holds networking tools, cctv cameras when i climb up ladders, less climbing up and down quicker and safer, im from UK so no gun, have strobe on flashlight and tactical pen. instead of gun i have a molle magazne pouch with teabag, powdered milk, sugar sachet and packet of biscuits

"I definitely got bit by a bug right there"......probably need some insect repellent in the bag.

Urban survival is simply is removing yourself off the X. My ECD: mck gen 2, Bear spray, smoke, protective mask, CS/OC filter, Benchmade knife, IFAK and decon kit.

I’m in VA as well, if you’d like some different property to camp on. Let me know

Awesome channel and great video today, cant believe theres less than 1000 subscribers, looking forward to more content

i was just sorting my BOB last week and looked at my nalgene and realised it was empty so moved all my sawyer filter kit inside it as you did. negative space use. great tip

re the liquid IV, here in UK in some cheap shops, we can get fizzing rehydrating tablets for about 12 tablets for £1. BUT dont take them out of the tube, they spoil with moisture really easily, the tube has a dehydtaion thing in the cap.boy do they work as weve been having major heat waves this last week...

Zip lock bags are not a bad options especially if you tape the seal, that's what I'm using for my reusable battery chargers currently. I feel like I'm unpacking mommy's school lunch every time, has to be a more grown up option right?

Not practical in a go bag, but a cold raw potato with salt on it is really helpful to eat when you start having heat exhaustion! And put a pair of shorts in that bag, lol

I have a suggestion for you, take a wipe or something and seal it with mint on it, because a wet rag with mint when it is hot is very cooling. Kinda like icy hot, without the hot. Ot you can put int extract in a small water mist bottle to spray on you and cool yourself a little.

Did you mention the weight of the bag with all contents?

This was a must needed video. Very informative and there is a lot to take away from it. For new people like myself this was really helpful and thank you for taking the time to make it. Even people who know about handling weapons really well i feel like would respect a video on the basics. Great video Kellen ! Keep this up!

The content is awesome. Keep it up. Your partner had great information !!!

Only problem I see is that vortex sticker in the back window, I know it shouldn't matter but personally I dont like to advertise 😉👍

Nice video I liked it but one thing I didn’t see was anyway to generate power usually on my list it’s like water fire shelter then electricity so like water filter ferro rod tent then power film solar pro it’s a little expensive but worth it I think I saw it on Canadian prepper channel shout out to that guy very knowledgeable and yeah my grammars horrible but idc

Great content. Up and coming channel!

Aye you need to give us the diet and workout video. You’re a fuckin monster dog

If cell service still works, you can download maps to your phone before hand, then available if you have to detour

“Maybe I’m re…not smart” 😂

The shoes? 🤔

You have given me some ideas on adjusting my SHTF bag

Great video mate, lots of good info

Love a simple, realistic set up. And you look like you're more active than not, something most of the "preparedness" community lacks

Give LMNT a try for a hydration option 🤙

Nice setup brother! Like you said the seasons are going to pretty well determine your load out. Good job man!

Hey bro good vid my only add would be electrolytes due to your climate at present and yes we could all offer a lot more ideas but in my opinion we all started somewhere and these things come with time experience and learning stay safe bro 👍

Bags are built around skills Your bag tells us what your skill level is

For 24 hour pack you have way to much gear Ditch all your snivel gear

Good kit. Good presentation. My 2 cents: Swap out the plastic filter bottle, collapsible pot, pocket stove and fuel. Replace with Grayl Titanium filter bottle and more ready to eat calories (no need to cook from a 3 day kit if you have water purification redundancy and ready to eat calories). Keep the road flares in your car, not your pack. Replace large fire starters with something light and compact like Pathfinder Mini Inferno. Ditch the heavy bolt cutters and replace with a multi tool that has good wire cutters.

I like how you came up with an entire ecosystem based on preparedness and mobilization. I do this too and I feel like alot of others fail to see if this way. Which isnt wrong, just a different way of thinking. The Go Bag is different from the Get Home Bag is different from the Bug Out Bag (which is at home). They all work together in harmony and most of the time the Go Bag can be carried with the Get Home Bag for more sustainment along the way without too much extra weight.

Nice setup and great discussion on the why you pack it. Its nice to see people actually somewhere close (I'm in Virginia Beach) and yes, this hunidity has been sucking. LOL. Thanks again for sharing the vid.

why only 670 subscribers, awesome videos. here in the UK most of our kits are weather/protection orientated, a lot of things in this video are to protect against heat/insects, we often have those PLUS cold weather. i remember cycling on a sunny may morning in shorts, and 2 horus later it was snowing. ive slept several times on train station platforms and similar places, unexpected overnight stays at peoples houses, and a lot of BOB/Go bag gear is applicable to a wide variety of scenarios....more specialist things like firearms, satellite tracking devices have less use compared to every day situations....so some people might laugh at having toothpaste in a kit, for some people it would be be usefull, i keep it in a car hygiene kit and ive used several times, ive never needed to use any of my fire making stuff in my car kit, my leatherman and tools I use daily.

could hand sanitising wipes be used as toilet paper...saves one of the items then

Personally I would add 3 things. 1 a Shamogh 2 a buff 3 mace. 1&2 helps for the sun and dust. 3 personal protection from like A bad dog or human..

Nice kit and good mindset. If it were my bag I would add a whistle, water bottle or two and maybe a pair of sneaker’s. I wear flops all summer long and a long walk home in flops would be brutal.

This channel is an up-and-comer. Good content

Awesome! Just a tip if I may: be careful using iodine tabs in a camelback…had a buddy running a race up in Shenandoah years back that ended up getting iodine poisoning because the tablets got lodged in his camelback hose. Every time he drank he got a solid dose of iodine 😂

Can state: dude absolutely uses that baby powder. Dude powders up every 5 minutes 😂

Bro has a pretty decent “jack of all trades” bag. Love that it’s got a pretty great range of items because it’s not designed to be specific to one niche “what-if” event. Love it dude

Great video dude, still love seeing a normal guy like the rest of us go over this kinda stuff. Out of curiosity what is your background as far as experience on some of these kinds of things?

I’m going to add some liquid IV, silcock key, and duct tape to my bag for sure. I like to have an elastic ankle wrap in my bag too. I haven’t rolled an ankle in over 10 years but on an all day walk it would suck if I did

There’s almost no statistically probable scenario in a 1st world country where someone would need to ditch their vehicle, let alone have a backpack full of bushcraft gear to get home.
