Best Survival Bug Out Bags! | Knife Banter with Kurt & Dallas

[@liljuggala]

One thing I haven't seen anyone other than me carry, in person anyways, is toilet paper tablets. I keep a bag with me. My kids are messy and they make great wet wipes. I got an emergency bivy and emergency blankets in my bag. Two life straws. Ferro rods, paracord, folding saw, multitool, fixed blade (US Navy Mk2 Ka-Bar). Survival tarp. rations. Hand warmers

[@kydd666]

I have the little tablets that you add a few drops of water and they expand

[@billdonawho4175]

Dude wipes for sure they have small individual wrap ones that fold out large...also epic wipes are good for camping or being out they unfold to the size of a beach towel but the whole thing is like wet wipe

[@vikingplumber9541]

Good pack out, except for the Life Straws... Those are garbage. Much better water purification options out there.

[@liljuggala]

@@vikingplumber9541 I also have a Sawyer, but that is in my camping bag

[@axelpihl5213]

At least you are more prepared than most people

[@CyberTrucker1995]

I have three smaller bags (Get Home Bag) in my vehicles, and a Bug Out Bag at home. I carry food, water, water purification, maps, compass, extra layers, shelter, multiple means of starting a fire, cordage, first aid, a fixed blade knife, multi-tool, a firearm, and a reload in my Get Home Bags.

[@TartaricKnight]

All of my Maxpedition gears has lasted multiple countries and multiple years through insanely harsh condition and hard usage. The one brand I whole-heartedly always recommend and support to anyone outside in the woods, the field, or on tour!

[@doncraft9100]

Hey guys first time that im watching you all, and I want to say wow, impressed with your knowledge and how you present yourselves and the products. Im subscribing today and want to say thankyou. Im a veteran of Desert Storm and numerous operations around the world and these things that you present are very important to me, again thanks

[@Nathan-bj5do]

"Super Fine" plus the Blue Steel look, pure gold. You guys are awesome. Many thanks from AUS.

[@williamwallace134]

It's cold in Idaho, so I'd have things like hand and feet warmers, a couple of mylar blankets, and plenty of fire starters, including a road flare or two. I used to have a battery-powered heated vest that I could wear under my coat, I'd highly reccomend one of those for anyone in a cold environment. The only other thing I think you missed would be wet wipes, those are an inevitable need for everyone!

[@michaelsjodahl2724]

Thanks for the show! How about a beginners bug out bag for urban preppers?

[@jonathancupp3686]

Thanks guys! You have my gears grinding now. I have intended to make a bug out bag for quite some time, but then I forget about it. Thanks for the reminder, I’m gonna start a list right now!

[@Footballdreams99]

Can never be too prepared any help is always handy. If we all could learn only one thing from each video we would still be winning thanks

[@josh4154]

You just sold me on the short stack. Thanks for showing some gun inspired tools!

[@The_AntiVillain]

In my car emergency kit is a cold steel trail hawk and war hammer, a rhino folding shovel, heavy poncho, back up battery (with solar panel), battery tender trickle charger, car jump starter, olight o bulb, ratchet straps, snatch block and some synthetic winch rope

[@keeperofthegood]

In Kentucky a few years ago there was a 19 mile stall of traffic in a massive snow event. The biggest issue was the lack of drinking water, for simple drinking OR for the taking of needed medications. There were a few more issues that were being reported but those two were the top as the state police polled the needs of people car by car. Of course, I was thinking the same as you "melt the snow" but you do need a steady heat to do so.

[@KrysKrys34]

Yes to the bug out bag starter kit!

[@jon-eriksuermann9844]

I have a maxpedition sitka and used it as a diaper bag

[@Deibodese]

I’ve got an Olight Baton II (which I bought from y’all!) 😃 I can’t sing its praises enough, but it’s kind of a specialized-use flashlight. First thing’s first: For anyone unfamiliar with flashlights and linens, 200 lumens is plenty for you to be able to see what you’re doing in the dark. In fact, if you’re trying to illuminate something you’re working with up close, anything above 200 might be too bright for your eyes to comfortably look at. So all of the brightness settings above that get relegated- for me anyway- to increasing my visibility to motorists while I’m walking at night. Since the Baton series has an impressive output for its size, but relatively short runtimes for those brighter settings, it’s best to only burst the brighter modes of you’re trying to cross a street or walking somewhere that forces you to be on the actual street (because of no sidewalk or whatever). 3,000 lumens and above would only really be needed if you were out on a very overcast day, or right when the sun is setting and streetlights are first turning on, because all of the ambient light will drown out your flashlight’s output. That way your light would still be visible to motorists. But as far as trying to see with 3,000 lumens, that’s only needed if you’re literally trying to light up an entire half-acre field all at once.

[@Deibodese]

If you want a constant output of a brighter setting over a long period of time, Olight Warrior series or even some Fenix models would suit you better. Bigger flashlight means bigger battery, which means more power for sustained output.

[@trsc32]

For my hikes, lately I’ll carry a Camelbak backpack with 1 or 2 Nalgene bottles of water (32oz each), my Benchmade Bugout, medical kit, ferro rod & waterproof matches, Wave + multi tool, Sawyer water filtration thing, Clif bars & other protein bar type snacks, my wallet with ID & cards, a hat or beanie (depending on the weather up here in the PNW) if I’m not already wearing it, a rain shell or down jacket, headlamp, sunglasses, a little bit of TP, and of course my film camera and a roll of film..

[@davidb1975a]

That would be cool... a bug out starter kit. Maybe something cool to give away before Christmas. I love the Maxpedition brand. I have like 3 or 4 of their bags.

[@2nd.hand.wisdom]

The editing makes this so enjoyable

[@mingusbreeze]

Thanks, guys. Merry Christmas.

[@eddielittleii8919]

Good show. Do I (we) want Blade HQ to load up a bugout bag for a give away? Yes please.

[@TMerrion]

I think adding something small to keep your kids entertained is a must. I am much more productive when they’re not needing my attention.

[@timothyvolkers5343]

Dallas is hilarious he's good enough that he could go on the road and do stand up comedy.

[@dakotaray9493]

Love the video. Nice job Kurt and Dallas.

[@YorktownUSA]

The Benchmade Bailout... the one with the glass breaker. That thing was MADE to be in a bugout/urban survival kit.

[@swanboy_1328]

[@martinhill2605]

A wool blanket, a water container and filter of some sort, cordage, duct tape, flashlight/headlamp, fixed blade and folder. Can’t be a bug out bag without a bugout 535. Shemagh backup batteries, two lighters, a ka bar hobo, ferro rod, stainless steel water bottle and nesting cup and a bush pot. Wipes of some sort, and a hygiene kit. I’m sure I’m missing some things but this is off the top of my head

[@iskandarnaj2789]

i was waiting for kurts bugout FA.

[@scoob42]

Every good bugout bag should have safety gear, like eye protection, gloves (Kurt!) and dust masks.

[@kevinfonseca6233]

Yeah go for it

[@Experiment.G]

Honestly, I just wan to know: Why carry a small knife for this? And why not a bigger one? Shouldn't one go with something stronger, rather than something lightweight? Awesome videos, guys

[@knottheory79220]

Depends on what you're doing. I try to maximize utility for weight ratio in things like this.

[@axelignite9916]

Because you'll have to carry it. Depends on the scenario, but trust me you will feel the excess weight on your hip if you have to carry it for more than a few miles.

[@keeperofthegood]

And it also depends on applicable laws. While most nations generally accept a Swiss Army type pocket knife, there are dozens of regs on knives. The next up from pocket knives is small/general utility type fixed blade knives spanning the 1" to fishing knife. Blades go up or wider from there. Have a knife with a 4" fixed blade, have an apple, have demonstrable utility on a city bus. Same bus, same apple and have a full sized machete could get you in serious trouble. They do have a knife to demonstrate the utility of the pack, what you carry is up to you, as much as intent in carry as abidance to your own local regs.

[@christopherb4029]

Wrapping fire cord around a stick to make a torch? Are you sure about that? I appreciate the effort you fellas put forth, clearly stepping outside of your comfort zone, and I thank you. Now you may not agree, but I think the term "bug out" is synonymous with "emergency", and in this context I believe that to be true. I think everyone here agrees on the value of preparedness, but Im sorry I have to say, the presentation did not instill confidence. That being said, all of the items on the table seem like they would be useful in most situations, still everyone should consider their environment and adjust accordingly. I like to also have a survival straw/h2o purifier in bag. Oh, one more thing, that Dawson "deep notch" with the coppery finish... I am smitten!

[@damonoates7779]

Curious what an urban bug out bag would have.

[@The4cp]

I can't help myself. Some weed a few needles a double duce a lighter and some doritos. Honestly probably most of the same stuff. Knives are useful anywhere so are medical kits a way to stay warm and dry a flashlight and something to make a fire. In most cases there wouldn't be electricity. Buildings may add some protection but without heat you can still freeze.

You need a big knife or a small hatchet, a small knife to have on Your person, but put away in the BOB, a multi tool in the BOB, at Your person You should have a SAK, and a one with more tools in the BOB, but could transfer to Your person, those should be lawful all over the world (I know it isn't) but a firearm are hard to explain for the police. And there is a lot more to have PPE, water at least 1liter/a quart, first aid kit, "candy/bars" about 4000 calories. Flashlights and batteries, extra cellphone minimalistic text and talk FM radio. Extra clothing, socks underwear thirty, TP, hand sanitizer (alcohol based) works well for starting fire.....
