A Quality, Ready-Made Bugout Bag?! Flashpacks Operator

[@derekwilliams5880]

Actually starts at the video at 9:30.

[@aranfarazi9983]

Derek Williams thanks

[@Ts_Evildroid]

I know I may get crucified for saying this But I am going to anyway. Several of the items in that kit can be purchased for $1 at a dollar store & will be perfectly fine for a 72 hour bug out bag. 4 packs of alkaline batteries, safety glasses, items for first aid kit, gloves, glow sticks (may not be 12 hour but you get enough of them for $1 to easily last 12 hours), handkerchief's, hygiene kit items, safety glasses, dust masks, etc. For a short term bug out bag, Dollar Store items are fine (in my opinion) & have allowed me to put bags together for both my grown kids & a few of my friends very affordably.

[@11alliLo]

I was thinking the same thing lol!

[@RolexWatchmaker]

Yeah I agree. Lots of this stuff is available at Walmart or the dollar store. The UST 3500 cal food bar is $5 at Walmart. I got some last year for 3 for $10 after camping season.

[@bobbyhempel1513]

Yeah and the fixed blade is a mora companion which is only $20 max and the multi tool is junk.

[@jordanqq]

That's where I bought most of mine :P

[@anguswilson9993]

Bobby Hempel leatherman a good multi tool

[@marvcarey6815]

This is by far the best premade kit I've ever seen! Thanks for the video,

[@drmaudio]

As a family man like yourself, I have to think about the wife and kids too, so I have some different needs as I need gear for more than one person (for instance, I would like a pump style water filtration to fill one or more canteens) However, it seems at that price, this would be worth it to buy as a starting point, then substitute or add to it as you need. This approach might save a lot of time without much of a cost premium.

[@Todd_S]

A great way to start a kit. Thanks for the information! I'm always looking to improve my packs.

[@Chaoticburn]

very cool, I've been looking for a 72 hr bag for my wife and I, and for that price, with what you get, I'll definitely be looking into it. thanks for a great video.

[@GearReviewDepot]

This is the pack my wife uses on day hikes and weekend getaways, she loves it. This pack holds a lot of gear very comfortably.

[@FateofDestinee]

That's an awesome idea! I seriously need to look into that. Thanks for the review! Gave your video a like.

[@TheLateBoyScout]

+Guns Gear & Fitness Thanks!

[@therearefourlights6926]

I think it could use a stainless steel container, whether a cup, a pot (Stanley makes a nice one) or a water bottle. Basically anything to be able to boil water in (if bigger, to cook in too)

[@weirdmusicmixmaster]

wish this still existed, seems like it was good option

[@benromney9279]

That looks like a great kit. I would like to test it.

[@TacticalXRays]

this kit is more than just a shopping list so you can buy better stuff. it's awesome for lazy guys, beginners, and even for the dudes that do this for a while, as a "backup", secondary, for friends, family members, that's a good selection, someone's been keeping attention. and i traveled with that sas survival guide through australia. awesome pocket book!!!!!

[@TheLateBoyScout]

+Tactical X-Rays Absolutely agree.

[@BudgetBugout]

Not gonna lie... This appears to be a great pack man! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Thanks! I was pretty impressed too.

[@huntercook1145]

hey budget bugout I am 1of your subscribers and wanted to know if you could do a pre assembled pack/kit review also

[@genoburgess6817]

BudgetBugout nice pack yep, for 300 dollars hmmmmmm, needs a better headlamp but if that's a mora knife good stuff. I like it lots. To much for a urban adventure though. I mean not in price would be worth every penny. Good stuff I'd recommend it, but I find it more fun building my own.

[@aaronzierke9920]

Add the nesting cup that go's with that canteen and the pouch. Make it worth it. As well as purified water tablets and now its a survival bag. As well as a starter camp bag. Take it one step further and put a light wait sleeping bag in it. But really all it needs is the nesting cup that gos the canteen. Why? Because you can boil water or cook or bake in it. Put a nesting cup with that jug.

[@IncredibleChief]

Can get Mora companion for about $10. Bic lighters are close to $2 a piece. Also got my wingman for $20. Just gotta look around. $20-$25 is pretty common tho. I believe that pack is made by Fox tactical. I have a pack exactly like that from Fox Tactical at least. Take Care and Be Aware

[@betweenfiveandseven]

Looks pretty well thought out. The only concern I have with such things is all of the cardboard and plastic packaging on the new items. You're well organized and everything fits while it's packaged, but then you're carrying around all that cardboard and shrink wrap... and when the packaging is removed, nothing really fits back where it came from... but then you do end up with a bunch of extra space, the packaging used to take up, I suppose.

[@QarthCEO]

+betweenfiveandseven Oh, well, during a bugout you have plenty of time to just put everything back in the packages when you're done with them. ;)

[@TheLateBoyScout]

+betweenfiveandseven Good point, and that's one thing I failed to emphasize. After buying this pack, one should definitely get familiar with the contents, and "prep" it all for emergency use.

[@Surago]

I like this because now I can buy a cheaper bag and buy all the stuff either cheaper or a higher quality replacement. or wait for it to go on sale. IF I were impatient, I'd buy three right now.

[@Lellobeetle]

TLB, friendly fyi - please watch swinging the camera for those of us who feel a bit nauseated when that happens. Please know this is NOT a criticism, but just a friendly request. The pack seems perfectly well worth the money, imho. Great video, my friend. ATB, Laura - greetings from Pittsburgh!

[@TheLateBoyScout]

+Lellobeetle I'll keep an eye on that. Thanks.

[@johnthomasbrandt]

The kit is a decent starter kit option, but the bag does not hold up to carrying weight. It is an upgraded version of a bag they used to offer national guard and reserve soldiers as a swag item for enlisting... I used it for a range/go bag and the single stitching piled the plastic impregnated fabric apart. But like it is a good basic starter kit... Btw that side pouch is a portfolio pouch good for full size documents

[@05generic]

Some of the items are not what I would choose but the kit is much better then nothing for someone who doesn't have the time to put one together.

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Agreed.

[@markym12364]

i love this pack...i wish i could find a way to get it by itself. the website is even closed right now because of the owners military obligations i guess

[@zioazalin]

I'm envious... everything you priced costs at least x3, in euros, here in italy... :/

[@AlwaysDoingSomething]

Really good video! It would be interesting to hear how you "value" each of these in terms of survival though. How important is the ceramic mug vs. the 3600 calorie food bar? What do you think you'd use in the first 12 hours vs. 48 hours. That kind of thing. I'm kind of surprised there's no rain poncho, bug spray or ace bandage. I'd hate to be outside for even two hours anywhere in the upper midwest or Canada without those things. Also, it seems odd not to have some kind of pain reliever in the medical kit but there may be regulatory issues with selling Advil and that kind of stuff. This sure brings up a lot of potentially good follow up videos. How would you convert this into a survival pack for various situations? What's missing? Signal mirror, compass, etc. How does making fire (food, water, etc) change based on the situation. For example, flying a single engine airplane in Canada. If you crash almost anywhere in the winter you need a fire or you're going to die before help can find you, BUT... you just crashed your airplane. Chances are you've got broken bones and many other injuries. This is NOT a time to channel your inner Boy Scout and try to use matches or "striker" style fire starters. Those methods assume you've still got two working hands. Add in cold temps and numb fingers and it highlights the need for a better solution than this pack has "off the shelf." In the case I described, it's time to pull out the fire starter sticks and the Bic Stick lighter. You get the idea. I think there are a lot of really interesting survival angles you could cover that would help people like me be more prepared and better informed. Thanks so much for these videos!

[@TheLateBoyScout]

+LostNorthUp Great thoughts! I appreciate the input.

[@barackobama7587]

I am only 14 and my friends and family think I am crazy for preparing for martial law

[@DjWolfpack27]

same here bro! glad to see someone else my age into prepping. lol

[@PrioritySurvival]

+DjWolfpack27 Same lol

[@noahc2761]

PrioritySurvival yo you 14 too?

[@noahc2761]

DjWolfpack27 you 14 too

[@PrioritySurvival]

Yep, 14

[@domenik8339]

I would rather they dedicate that $25 from the radio to a better knife but overall this pack looks awesome. I thought it was gonna be a rip-off like most pre-packaged bags, where the total content cost is $100 and they charge you $250 but I was happily mistaken. Lookin into this.

[@chrisjbrunson]

I think I would add some glove liners, a hat, some wet weather wear, a jacket, socks, a small container of gold bond, sunglasses, some pain meds (might be in the first aid kit?) some personal hygiene items and a few of those disposable toothbrushes (Colgate wisp) a Life Straw and instead of that plastic canteen, I would want one of stainless steel or aluminum or at least something I could use to heat water, some instant oatmeal packs /Mountain House freeze dried food, and a wash cloth. I am going to be putting more thought into this as my wife has a 35 mile commute, and we now live where we could have to do without power for a while.

[@TheLateBoyScout]

+CJStryke Good input. Thanks.

[@nevcannon5984]

hiya. are you one of those companies that does not ship to the UK... i have tried before with other companies in the u.s BUT ONLY INTENTAL VERY FRUSTRATING?

[@stevefinch1636]

yeah all in all this is a pretty good prep Pack for sure!

[@JBMuffinman187]

isn't that a Condor Urban-Go Bag? I own one, it's pretty good for it's price.

[@TheLateBoyScout]

+JBMuffinman187 I didn't spot a tag anywhere, but yeah, it looks like it.

[@cjbelgrave]

+JBMuffinman187 The condor bag has a few updates. 1. The zipper areas are covered on the condor (better water protection). 2. The handle on the top of the bag is heavy duty webbing that is stitched for comfort. They are great bags. Also comfy for me.

[@JBMuffinman187]

+CJ Belgrave I have a urban go bag. it's my go to for hiking and overnights. as you said, good bag. I just noticed the obvious in the video...

[@dsclaiborne31]

You can get an energizer 315 lumen headlamp at walmart for 26.00. So for 25.00 you get the shitty Ozark trail 150 lumen light. How's that a good deal?

[@joe_a_photo]

I have that radio and it is great

[@whiskeypapa8842]

Very cool video. Thanks.

[@thelzmovement6480]

needs better firestarter ,better filter,other than that its a very solid kit a little pricy tho

[@IEraiderfan]

Nice setup thanks.

[@ruebarb1]

The pack itself is too small, it does not provide room for clothing, extra food and shelter supplies.

[@mapispecapac]

the back side pocket it is actually for a armor plate

[@stockmannp002]

Are these bags no longer available?

[@canadianknifeExpert]

The pack looks like it would be uncomfortable on long hikes. Other than that it seems pretty squared away.

[@huntercook1145]

the other glow stick was right beside the hankerchif

[@wildbill23c]

The price of the pack seems ridiculous at first. However, many people will start picking up "bug out" items a few things at a time not all at once. So really the price isn't bad at all. The bag alone being $90 is not all that bad either, I've seen bags go for well over $150 just for an empty bag LOL. Great review, and a great item for someone who just wants a good base bug out bag and can easily add to it as well.

[@gandj19]

Audio sounds off to me. Other than that the bag sounds like a great option if you can afford it.

[@Todd_S]

+gandj19 I think the room needs some sound deadening acoustic foam on the walls to lessen the echo.

[@TheLateBoyScout]

+Todd S I should have used my lapel mic. Just lazy.

[@Todd_S]

It's all good. Keep up the great work!

[@Tom-ym2fk]

NICE KIT I'm in the UK with all my survival stuff and the bag ect cost me over £1,200 not sure what that is in $$$$$ but yeah I could have gone cheaper much cheaper though.......but bare in mind people I don't carry light if your going to spend a lot expect to carry a lot haha greetings from the UNITED KINGDOM

[@TropUSA]

great video!

[@freddyrincon1481]

not a bad deal..some stuff is a lilttle overpriced like the ozark trail headlamp $12 at walmart...

[@illuminatedturds6777]

Who bought one? Can't find anything about it 😕

[@drspaseebo410]

The flashpacks link doesn't work !

[@DrockGoBLUE]

where the tarp is, is where the bladder goes

[@Gunsandfun1961]

Alright,..thanks ,...

[@MrAjusog]

Pre-packaged reminds me of the assortment halloween candy; I will only find 10% of the bag contents actually useful.

[@servicedogchopper7613]

Geeze! $325 is a good price? I can't spend more then $50 if that. And I don't want gear that is just straight up crap. Sad that us without that much money but live in a disaster area (Florida), we are left without or with just crap.

[@awaisjaved5005]

Get to the point and stop fannying around

[@sniperforce34]

sorry but that pack is nowhere neer worth around $300.00... my opinion. ..

[@c0ckyclown]

Now, where are the clothes you might need?

[@lonewolfoutdoors4606]

Way to expensive. You can do it cheaper. But it will take a lot of time to do so. But still 230 for the Kit is to much. Building 1 for myself now. Takes me a lot of time.

[@ahmedatm]

nice stuff

[@Superdan187211]

I payed more just for a good bag.. I don't even want to add up what I have in it

[@bobbyhempel1513]

Superdan187211 that's unfortunate.

[@stevedunne9131]

Fast forward to 9.00 minutes

[@mapispecapac]

at first the price seems like a ripoff, but if anyone tries to make a kit like that than 350 is probably the average $ spent on it.

[@votemikejones86]

Mixed bag, some good stuff some trash. I wouldn't suggest buying.

[@bradleyestes6270]

Ehhh I disagree on this bag. A few things here is nice, but the the price is way high.. I wouldn't trust that water filter.

[@kgngaming6519]

To much money

[@pebsopod3431]

KGNGAMING Too*

[@joeanonimous1105]

$350 for THAT? Effing ridiculous. I guess they need to charge extra to cover whatever they pay you to say it's a good price. These things are always at least DOUBLE what it would cost to assemble them from scratch. And doing that really doesn't take that much effort, because if you buy one pre-packed, you're going to need to pull everything out, figure out its function and how to use it, then re-pack it. Better to do your research, get good deals on the components, then assemble components you KNOW into your own bag.

[@bobbyhempel1513]

Too much money for what you get have to put that same bag together and get a better bag for less money put all the same stuff in it and probably spend around 90 bucks which is what the bag itself cost

[@h.nicolejorgensen2077]

Anyone here in 2021 wishing things were that affordable again? A nice set up but some things still sound overpriced. BTW Please don't buy a snake bite kit. These are misleading. You cannot cut out or suck out snake venom.

[@sidorgan969]

sorry but for that money I would build my own. thankd for sharing anyway

[@TheLateBoyScout]

+Sid Organ You can certainly build your own for less, especially if you have the knowledge and confidence to shop for the right stuff, or if you already have half of it. This is a great pack for those who don't have that knowledge, but want a really good kit.

[@sidorgan969]

I guess so but ive alwase said you should build your own kit based on your own skill

[@jeremymoore4906]

Way over priced for a small bag of crap. I would rather spend that money on stuff that is a lot better quality than that wal-mart junk.

[@SpartaTV]

найс

[@cleric7788]

sell out. i am unsubscribing now.

[@bobbyhempel1513]

Over priced.

[@noahfehr8793]

the knife looks like crap

[@mapispecapac]

obviously you are clueless when it comes to knives

[@StevenTheAristolianNerd]

Doesn't matter how it looks. As long as it is comfortable to use and does the job you want it to do.
