5.11 Tactical Rush 72 Get Home Bag Update 2-23-14

[@tommymonroejr6769]

You could fit a few more packets of hand warmers in there...

[@bigcoxjsa]

I'm curious if you have ever used any of those Mylar "shelter" items. The SOL bivy, the tent, the poncho, etc. Having tested my similar bag over several days in the mountains, if it is cold, these are unbelievably uncomfortable, loud, and not warm enough. Most of your gear looks brand new. Have you tested any of it in the field?

[@DhornyBastard]

He forgot his Camo face paint. He's definitely not getting back home without it.

[@The411]

missing the .45 or .40 lead deployment devices.

[@thelzmovement6480]

I have watched this video like 15 times it has helped me a lot thankyou

[@josephine6999]

Exactly the kind of guy I would be looking for if S**t hit the fan and I was cruising with 15 lbs on my back and looking to restock my supplies. "Get home bag"? You're a target dude. Those hand warmers aren't going to be enough...

[@simonvance8054]

I hear ‘get home bag’ or bugout bag a lot. Aren’t we all really after an all purposes emergency bag? How can people guarantee that the potential emergency isn’t something you have to get away from your home? I live in a high risk bushfire area with the constant very real possibility of my entire area going up in flames. Other family members have lived through big earthquakes where other people had lost everything and had to evacuate in a matter of minutes. I prefer the concept of an all purpose emergency bag. As always there are some great ideas as with your video and it helps for all of us to share ideas..

[@LeeEngle]

Love the poncho liner bedspread - mine is 40 years old and still used nightly. Just ordered a new one as my wife and the chihuahua both fight me for it

[@neologian1783]

The Rush 72 for a "get home" bag? Don't get me wrong....totally cool to be prepared etc but the 72 is monster big enough for 3-5 days! That kind of volume seems better suited to a "bug out" bag or purpose built muli-day camping backpack like my Osprey 65 liter pack when I want stove, food, fuel, tent, water, sleeping bag, thermarest, extra layers, etc etc. (I'd hate to carry your BOB!!) :-) I find the Rush 12 is way bigger than I need for a very well appointed "get home" kit but then again I only have a 30 mile commute. In terms of what I might realistically encounter (breakdown, snow closures, power outages etc) that means a GHB is pretty minimal with things like phone, AAA card, multi-tool, cash, water bottle, flashlight, and very minimal emergency gear like chem lights, road flare, thermal blanket, IFAK, and good book to ease the wait.

[@reb0254]

I use the same bag. You don't have to fill it. Just sayin' ...

[@SubUrbanNinja-EDC]

My thought. GET HOME BAG What You Should Have In A Get Home Bag (A get home bag is not a bug out bag. It is a bag for emergency self rescue. As you can see I left out a fire kit. Are you trying to get home or go camping?) 1.) Helmet. Protecting your head is easential when you are fighting the elements when exposed to disasters. Falling and flying debris from civil unrest, storms, terrorist blast effects. 2.) Heavy duty painters mask. It will protect your lungs from debris and particles in the air as you make your way out of an effected area. 3.) Safety goggles. If you can't see because something went into your eyes makes it almost impossible for you to help yourself. 4.) Heavy duty workman's gloves. Removing rubble and glass maybe the only way you can get yourself or others free. 5 ) Crow bar. You may have to pry or break your way out. 6.) Hatchet or a cable/chain cutter. Multi tool, knife. 7.) Trauma kit with turnicate or blood stop. To buy you time to get to a hospital. Get home bag is get to help bag as well. Pepto bismol pills. Energy bars. Gatorade powder. 8.) Hand crank FM radio/flashlight/cell phone charger combo. 9.) Headlamp for handsfree lighting. 10.) Safety reflect jacket. Hate to be hit by a car walking on the side of the road. 11.) Wool blanket to wrap yourself or other from going into shock. 12.) Mace and compact handgun. 13.) Rain coat or jacket. 14.) Large water canteen.

[@realtimer14]

u gonna carry all this?

[@allemander]

I have one of those cheap, knockoff batons. Strike a hard object just once and watch how fast it bends and will never collapse again. If you can find a Bonowi Camlock baton, they are incredibly strong and well made. The German police forces use them and they can be opened and closed discreetly with one hand and do not require slamming the tip against the concrete to collapse it. They're amazing batons.

[@jiricerven2322]

I just wonder how heavy is the bag. And also why the US people need to toothbrush, etc.. My main concern will be GET HOME and not looking into the mirror, and not taking care of my teeth. :-)

[@faithrada]

Actually... for the room It takes.. having a tooth brush can be a good moral booster. A healthy mouth is no small thing. Besides.. not all scenarios are "worst case"... if your car breaks down you might find your way to a motel eventually.

[@mitchmasyk2517]

I don't no why everyone is so concerned with the weight.If it truly is a disaster of sorts with no guarantee if you'll be getting home better to have than have not.he might not have to carry far.but might end up stuck on the camp for weeks.wouldnt it be nice to have?Also if he has to hike a long way he could also just dump some shit.

[@cassadysm]

I have a similar thought about pack covers. People always talk about grey man. Why not have a camo pack and a cheap pack cover in black or blue.

[@livingsurvival]

Nice kit ;)-

[@AkiraSRT9]

Too much unnecessary extra crap.

[@gorillahd9247]

Good video and a solid overview of the 5.11 Rush 72 pack. Stay safe out there. Scott

[@tonydrew7445]

Cool bag and lots of cool stuff, however it may be too much, IMHO. I had to rethink my get-home-bag recently after wearing mine for a few hours and realizing it wouldn't work. I had a single strap black bag and it was uncomfortable to wear for any length of time and looked too tactical. I'm taking the "gray-man" approach and changed it to a small unassuming REI hiking backpack. I have to assume if I'm walking home, so are tons of other unprepared people who would love to take all our good stuff in a panic! I ended up taking out everything except the essentials for me to get home and it became lighter, more maneuverable (in case running is involved), and much more comfortable to wear for hours at a time. I hope I never have to use it!

[@manofmanythingz4812]

i cant stop watching your videos...very good

[@jmailloux88]

Where did you get the light on the shoulder strap at the end of the video?

[@johnnymnemonic6986]

Have you ever spent 1 night in the woods? All your stuff is Brand New and unused? 90% of that stuff is garbage. When an emergency comes along, do yourself and throw that whole bag in the creek and just walk home, cause you know your ass ain't sleeping in the woods. Learn to Crawl before you walk, I like towards the end of the video you were talking about how you might have to free someone who's trapped with your BK Knife, come on now, you damn sure ain't staying around a catastrophe rescuing people, SMH..

[@CameronHerrin1991]

What size bag cover would I need to buy for my rush 72 hour if its fully stocked and loaded down some what like yours?

[@Buggingin]

I believe mine is a large 20 liter cover

[@robertocalderonabogado1427]

For what I´ve seen in KZbin, a lot of people will bug out / get home with military style bags. Seems like average joe is now tactical Joe when it comes to emergencies or disasters.

[@joebrawner3335]

5.11 is over priced crap.i could get a better pack at wally world or sports authority.Your just buying the bravo Sierra they want you 2.most are made in china and unfortunately the 5'2" lil shits make em very tough and better than our manufacturers here in America.you may not like this but is true.

[@thepunisher374]

I really do enjoy your videos so don't take what I'm about to say too hard, but do you ever use any of the stuff you have? You kind of remind me of a guy I know that is just a gear hound. He owns one of everything and has no practical knowledge of any of it. None of your stuff looks used at all. I would love to see some vids showing your skills, all of the gear in the world means nothing if you don't know how to use it. Like I said, really like your vids.

[@13aldav]

Pretty much spot on. This seems more like a long term survival pack than a get home bag.

[@TugaSvg]

fucking crazy dudes!! i bet if we got a zombie apocalipse you will be the most happy man on earth!! long live murica!!

[@MegaMastiffman]

Great kit I live in Florida and use the snugpak stratosphere and ionissphere there great very packable and light snugpak make great stuff thanks for taking the time to make this vid gave me some great ideas

[@BlurHD]

Sweet! :D also 9:33 was pretty funny.

[@chriskristopherson7739]

I like to leave my bag in my car too. Is there anything that the extreme cole or extreme heat will affect over time. Matches, fuel... It may seem like a silly question but i am curious to how long Lighters, MREs will last in my car with weather changes. THANKS

[@MrsBee-uo2lc]

I'm not sure but what I do it's just pack this bag with stuff that absolutely won't be affected such as a hammock a knife things like that. anything that is questionably affected by heat or cold such as food lighters batteries electronics and so on I keep in a separate bag in the house

[@dougwilson8274]

Shovel goes on the outside, why a book you should be WALKING! Way to heavy to Really carry. Seriously. How far can you walk with this in 24hrs?

[@666nickfitch]

Doug Wilson I mean it's not really about how fast you can get home it's about how safe you can make it home you could be 50-60 miles away from your house and it can take you a couple days to get there but you have to travel countless hours you just need a little bit of rest and and sthf situation but some of the stuff he has like the fake knock-off asp is not going to do much against someone that has a gun

[@arkade-]

Love all your videos, made me get my own 511 72 and 511 Moab 10. Just a quick question where did you get your morale patch?

[@Buggingin]

Thanks bud!! I usually find them either on ebay or amazon.com.

[@WuJOoO]

I na chuj ci tyle gratów ?? Masakra jak ludzie mają najebane w głowie.

[@rendog896]

My friend I hope that you never get stuck in a bad situation!

[@scottprincipe6778]

Wow this comment section is loaded with trolls i think he has what he needs for the purpose and I’m sure he has more set ups for more intense situations and the ones that think his stuff is to clean that’s because he keeps his shit clean or replaces it with something that works a little better for him if you listen he tells you that he found a better tool than the one he was using and he talks about ways to stay clean so that you can keep your nasty ass from getting sores and some other kind of funk if the shtf he be someone that you could team up with and not have to worry about stopping every ten minutes to go take a runny shit because your shit should look like some homeless guys bug out bag

[@irfanahmed9112]

Can u tell me what z difference between bug out bag nd get home bag? I don't know therfore I asked

[@mattias3658]

I like your urban camo bag for you 5.11 backpack!!

[@scottzike1054]

Where do you live .. kalifornia ?? .. all that stuff is fine .. ((well some of it pegs the meter as entirely too tacticool)) .. but where is your protection .. and no .. not a arms length baton .. where is the pistol/revolver ??

[@udiodbey934]

I liek ur stile cid

[@schreckpmc]

Don't need a gun. Never have, never will. If you want to carry the extra weight, go for it.

[@johnnymnemonic6986]

Lol, I don't need a gun. Some people just think when the world goes to shit, everyone is going to be respectful and polite, asking to borrow a cup a sugar. No, their just gonna try to cut your arms off with a machete or shoot you point blank in the face with a shotgun, just so they can get the backwash left in your Dasani bottle. Jesus, if something does happen, Americans are finally gonna see what happens every day in third world countries and it's gonna be a rude awakening to realize how ruthless another human being can be.

[@xwwry]

You should include some gun. This baton does not give you any range that you should keep in case of thread. Also heading back home you can be attacked by an animal, it's hard to defend with knife and metal telescopic toy.

[@mmitch8236]

awesome video

[@caziw2636]

keep thing a bit more organized, great video😉

[@jaybarr3307]

Seriously, awesome setup guy. Inspiring.

[@alexw.5246]

I enjoyed your review and the items within the bag.

[@francisjames1377]

Where can I get that black led light on your shoulder strap.

[@willseidler9088]

You should add a emergency stash of cash in the bag as well

[@reb0254]

What does your pack weigh in at?

[@bobmarwood257]

Bunch of brand new, never used Walmart crap.

[@Lenny7118]

Great video and a lot of supply ideas ! Thanks

[@carpentry67]

I just started watching and already shaking my head

[@G36Jeff]

Wow. Your so lucky man. Great pack

[@fyremanjef]

First time viewer and just subscribed. I like you ghb. It's sweet and to the point. Nice intro for me to the monkey solar panel and the packaged sandwiches. Nice kit. Not too much not too little. You nailed it. Nice job. .

[@Buggingin]

Jeff Purcell thanks Jeff! I truly appreciate it!!

[@martinspalding374]

i use it mate cant see anything wrong with it despite some of the comments...and its not over organised but i know what i want is in there somewhere thats good enough for me

[@Buggingin]

Martin Spalding thanks bud. I redid the pack. Different items and switched to black

[@manofmanythingz4812]

Excellent video Mr

[@texascowboy6662]

You should add a portable battery for your phone

[@schreckpmc]

I always have to respect the guys who step up and make the videos.

[@heartwoodtableco.michaelpo171]

The only draw back to this pack is the hip belt. It isn't all that. I found a solution!!! For $20 on Amazon you can get the CONDOR GEN2 BATTLE BELT. It attaches right to the existing hip belt perfectly through the Velcro flaps on the battle belt. I use mine regularly for miles at a time. Ranging from 35-50lbs of gear. And I am 6'2 265

[@created4design]

The backpack is the only thing cool about this video, everything is so overkill and heavy. I have the same bag and with my survival gear it only weighs in at 29 lb (that's with 2 extra large smart bottles of water and a 2 liter bladder full of water) , making it easy to treck along for many miles. his bag there have over kill items and even double, triple items that do the same thing and his pack must weigh in at 50-60 lbs.. you going ain't traveling far with that.

[@sirpleasee3472]

I've rucked with 70 pounds on my back.. 12 miles to be exact

[@DavesIneosGrenadier]

It takes about 8 hours to walk 20 miles, if you don't have a big heavy pack on your back, so just walk home. If you check the weather warnings regularly you can get home before the "weather event" happens. If you are forced to stay somewhere overnight and the shops are going to be closed then you are going to need a bottle of wine or spirit of choice surely. And a pack of cards.

[@crittercreekranch5190]

good job.make it your own . its not over manageable like this. The Ultimate Getting Home Bag Not a Bugout or Bug Out Bag 2

[@iangardener3464]

have you tried a mylar tent? totally useless.

[@scottmaclean3533]

Good video. Good information.

[@zexnynex777]

guys i just got a 4 pack of itw nexus buckle n triglide sets and 10 yds of tan lite nylon webbing on ebay from american sellers for under 20$ for all.... just had to share that lol (5-4-17)

[@chivone21]

They've made an update to this pack, and I'm not quite sure I like it. There is a fold out slotted something or other type mesh pouch that tips out for more storage, which then can be cinched down. It's open though. This tactical bag supposedly was to have a place to carry a "helmet". Nice try.

[@farmercorby8281]

You over packed for a get home bag at the most this is a bug out bag because of the stuff you have in it and I like the camo bag but go more simple like an old school bag or a normal backpack. Simple stuff guys and in my survival/bug out bag I have half of this stuff and it's all light weight and the only thing sticking out is my Swedish army cooking pot and fire pot. Just keep it simple guys and you don't need all this food. Hunt for it. Good luck :)

[@mayfalltribe4747]

stop correcting the armchair preppers, folks. its important that there be people who thought their expensive gear would save them. esp those people who did the videos for ad revenue. and didnt even care about survival. that way if shtf, there'll be plenty of well-equipped corpses..

[@kan-zee]

😍 👍Excellent gear did i miss it...or did you put in a Silcok water utility key ?

[@stealthandysteath1069]

Nice one buddy. Thanks for sharing mate. ATB

[@steamhard]

Explain to me why you drop you items on the table there. Your taking a chance of breaking your shit.

[@thierryl.7072]

I would like to buy the backpack but I am 1.82 meters tall now the question is whether the waiststrap will sit at the right height And could you put a tent or a hammock in the bag? Nice video!

[@irfanahmed9112]

Nice bag nd water bottle

[@jkjrkarmia514]

Provided you home hasn't been destroyed or looted of weapons by uncle scam. Keep At least 2 other friends or family's homes as backup locations.

[@Slobboy1]

"should stay away from camo" yet he could hide it easier.. and it doesn't matter what color backpack you have. you are going to attract attention with any tactical backpack you have.

[@brianparker9924]

i think you have bag well thought out except for a couple things. in a get home type emergency you might want to separate some of those things into what you can carry on your person without the bag, should the bag become a hindrance or get stolen. the baton, pry bar knife, multi-tool, firearm if you carry. when you make your assessment of how bad things just got, you can as always inventory your items. the stuff in one particular section should be stuff you attach to yourself. if your friend want coffee or you want to be able to access stuff just cause you want something, have that in another pouch. also if you want to access that stuff in front of some people you can do it without them seeing everything in there. in another part of the bag put the perishables. the sandwiches, cliff bars, five hour. i have learned from personnel experience that you can buy a five hour today, and in the heat the bottle will be swollen tomorrow. things like that need to be rotated frequently. and lastly, my bag changes with the time of year. i live in the right coast so in the summer i'm not going to see ice. that may be different for higher altitudes though. i don't screw with gps's. you forget to change the batteries or charge it. compasses are useless unless you know the area without a map. i'm pretty sure that the gps cant give you as good a clue to where your at as a map. simple fix, go somewhere new stop by a gas station and mark where that gas station is in the parking lot. keep it in your trunk. the radio, i don't see as necessary. if your with someone you don't split up. i am using the much more expensive motorola on a nightly basis right now and that only has a 3/4 mile range in a straight line. upgrade to something that needs an amateur license so you can hear emergency bands. just my 2 cents take it or leave it.

[@CO-kd6sd]

Do you keep a list of what you have? So if you use a couple of things while you're at work, you'll know what needs replacing later on?

[@irfanahmed9112]

Capacity of bag?

[@starwarsfan7740]

I have the same back pack

[@onis1969]

you just like hearing the krinkling sound from the plastic bags i think

[@totalblur123]

4:54 nice toss

[@aHigherPower]

I've been trying to find a pack I really like with the organization I need for my gear. I really want a hip belt 45L capacity with side pouches for a GI-style water bottle. The best I've found for the organization has sadly been the Outdoors Quest pack sold at Walmart, but its capacity is around 30L. It's almost perfect, but I want more capacity, a hip belt, a hatchet loop, and some bottom straps for a blanket roll. Still searching, but I've not found a perfect pack.

[@gregbailey1753]

Rush 24 and 72 will do the job you seem to want to do.

[@cesarzavala8931]

Nice bag and equipment your really ready for a bad situation that might happens

[@Theoutdoorproject80]

Are you still going to do the video of your supply room

[@carpentry67]

Good luck

[@BennyCFD]

I watch a lot of youtube videos on this and other related subjects and the word "Tactical is used a lot. In terms of civilian non law enforcement/non military what does the word "Tactical" really mean. Isn't this a "Bug Out" bag. Or does the word "Tactical" just sound more Rambo-ish.

[@created4design]

tactical gear is used by law enforcement and military. This is that same gear but used by a civilian. The name doesn't change based on who uses it...

[@leoaugustine3773]

Is that little compact sleeping bag good for just sleeping in it?

Same goes for the People's Republik of Mass.
