Dan, as an avid outdoorsman in his mid 50's, I avoided most all this carry on stuff by buying a small 5x8 enclosed cargo trailer the end of last year. Stripped it to the bone and rebuilt the whole thing as an off grid small camper, solar power, sink, propane cook stove, sleep area, insulated, and bottom sealed. Loaded it with supplies and gear, with extra water always in the truck. didn't even forget the 12V minifridge! It was a rewarding long project as I just finished it. All I have to do is hitch & go.. It sits 15 inches above the ground, it's my bug out rig! I halted buying knives and gear since to invest in it, it was worth every penny and every drop of blood from little injuries! Have a blessed day.

Sounds like my dream setup!!! Someday......

You are truly free my friend

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

I am almost 70, and carts or trailers are a life saver!!

[@acrprotect4476]

That trailer idea is brilliant! I have wanted to do the same thing!!

[@lacuzon39000]

Trailers are great on the road , not so much if your got to drive in a hurry on trails unless you build a off road type trailers with a army surplus type trailer if possible , would rather invest in a high top camper shell with top roof rack and maybe an extra gas tank under the truck , 8’ truck bed are great , good shelter , can sleep in if the weather is really bad to set camp .

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Good kits and discussion Dan! The advantage of trucks, over a car is the available space inside and in the bed. But whatever vehicle is used it must be in good running condition. For those who have trucks and cannot afford a camper shell, a simple waterproof tarp with bungee cords will provide good overhead shelter in the bed. Another vehicle option are bicycles, I'm a bikepacker and also have a 4 wheeled garden cart so that I can attach it to the rear of the bike and carry bulkier and heavier gear in it, these carts with 4 large wheels is ideal for this. Whoever sets up a BOB, needs to have a plan first, what are the potential dangers, where are you going to, primary and alternative routes to take, family and friends to meet up, etc. Test your gear, take your BOB, go into the backyard and test it for 12-24 hours, or go to a state park, etc. Record what works, what doesn't and if necessary update the kit. Don't forget about the needs of children (toys, games, etc), pets, medicines, food, etc.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

All good advice! Thanks

I luv bug out bag videos, so I'm excited about this video

[@SagebrushRebel]

At 21 minutes the wind up radio.. I have one I bought 2020..the technology is getting better, storing power and creating it. Cool

[@ModernRefugee]

I seen on Coal cracker a little tool roll pouch to keep your cord separated in your pack. I’m going to try to make one eventually to keep my cords and ridge line’s organized.

[@acrprotect4476]

Good evening Sir! This was a great video! When you said the numbers on how many folks had been displaced, I was blown away. I mean you see the news and events, but damn, that’s a big number. It just goes to show how important it is to be prepared! So, I know KZbin isn’t big on showing firearms, and I also know that they aren’t a big part of your channel…….That being said, are they a part of your bug out system? Thanks for all the great videos! Take care!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Not too much at this point

[@nutthrower4415]

Very well presented Dan , great setup. It’s always good to be prepared the best you can. We have a Teardrop so that would work as our one large bug out bag 😂 really enjoying your vids. Now onto #2

[@ronaldgoodrich5460]

I live in the midwest. Tornadoes are bad but they are relatively isolated. Help is usually 15 minutes behind the tornado.

[@khamen723]

You said ‘bushcraft beer’ I heard it! Freudian slip? 🎉😂

[@hotshot791]

Another excellent, timely video. Your videos seem to really stimulate viewer conversations and shared ideas, which are so helpful!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you, much appreciated!

[@James-ke5sx]

I'm watching this a 2nd time. Lots of good ideas. It helps me check my own emergency stuff. Even though I'm in a different situation these skills can be still be useful. I'm kinda set up like except for a truck. I recently got a Esee5 3D and a Junglas2. You and a few others convinced me. I'm done buying knives, hopefully. Here in Canada things are not so easily available so you have to get stuff when it's in stock. And Esee knives are sold out most places. Ok on to pt 2.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thanks? How are you liking your Esee knives? The Junglas 2 is still my absolute favorite survival knife. Just gave a design to my leather maker for some new ideas for a sheath for it. I'll do a video when it's finished.

[@austinbratton9973]

Great video!! I've thought about buying the M5 flashlight myself. It is said powertac makes some of the most reliable flashlights on the market!!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I would recommend it. The strobe setting could literally knock a person down! Super bright!

[@James-ke5sx]

Great setup. I'm ready to go at all times. However I keep what I call a migration kit because I want to go to another city or town but not go into the Wilderness at my age because half the time it's winter and it's just too severe here in Canada.

[@YovanSasic]

Love the shirt

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thanks!

[@Mr_Obvious]

Good plan! It looks like you got just about everything for your needs covered! For a power bank, I have one of those banks that can jump start a car or truck. I've jumped a car 3 times with one charge, and it still had about %30 power left in it. It's got a bunch of different ports on it so I can charge just about anything with it. Plus, it has a cable that fits in a cigarette lighter port in a vehicle, so if you have one in your vehicle, you can even recharge it. t holds a lot of power, so a charge will last a long time. Plus, God forbid your cars battery dies, you can jump start it. It would really suck to find out your battery is dead when you are miles away from any help.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I have one of those on my wish list. Definitely an excellent piece of gear to have along.

[@timothyzanolli8803]

Love the T-shirt

[@spec4gi48]

Questioned: Experts say an EMP threat is very real now days and chaos follows, and your truck was out, and all you could take would be what you can carry, what would that be?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I have an older ATV, that would most likely run. So mu packs a d duffel bag would still fit on the racks. I also have a mountain bike and could pull a small trailer. So still definitely my packs and duffel bag.

[@kan-zee]

watching your video, makes me realize, ...I got some work ahead of me....I don't have half of what you got in gear....Only a 5 gallon bucket of water , a 5.11 rush24 2.0 packpack filled with basic gear. I am curious to know what you would do, about armed gang of thieves stealing your gear....I've seen riots , where fully loaded preppers (with ammo & weapons) got taken down by mobs of people. Have you considered this in your bug out plans?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I live in a rural area, no cities close by, and very close to forest, so my circumstances are a little different.

[@williamsowers6076]

Nice video. How much does the duffel bag weigh?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you! Just guessing I'd say 50 pounds

[@surviveanything4765]

Good plen Dan. Can you put up a link to that green water container? Did you make a video on the camping bag? I do not recall. What pack was that?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Upwoigh 6 gallon water container. Haven't made a video on the camping pack yet. definitely will at some point. I have a lot of videos made from this outing. will take a while to get them out, but I do get more into some specific gear as we go. both packs are Spec Ops Brand. EDC and Ultimate Assault Pack (UAP).

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

So.....why not a small 2 stroke saw instead? Also, propane cylinders are bloody heavy-how about an alcohol setup instead and a couple gallons of methyl hydrate?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

My options are still open. Only saw I could afford at the time. Thanks for some additional ideas to consider.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

@@ochocobushcraft1742 fair enough! Propane and isobutane also perform very badly at cold temperatures (I live in north central Alberta, Canada for reference) where white gas and alcohol are much better. That's another option, a decent multi fuel stove that burns white gas or kerosene. Those are a lot of fun!

[@khamen723]

How much bushcraft beer… I mean gear, do you carry? 12 or 24? 😂

[@normanpamplin5133]

What about weapons or do you think you wont need them 24:58

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

not something I can really talk about on You Tube. seen too many videos get taken down.

[@normanpamplin5133]

@@ochocobushcraft1742 true fair repley thank you for the come back

[@prophotos365]

I carry two Firebox multi fuel stoves, they take up very little room and anything from twigs to cut up small branches to alcohol burners and butane bottle burners one is the original SS style and the other is the Nano! Then I have a Emberlit SS multi fuel stove in a separate carry case for cooking water boiling and emergency heat! Nice video!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you! I'm looking into other stove options. Thanks for some ideas to consider.
