I've rucked two thousand miles in the past two years while walking my dog and wearing a 20-27 pound pack also carrying a sidearm and a spare mag. I've solo backpacked for days many times in the hills and mountains of New England when I was younger. I'm now in my 60's and have seen my share of stuff. Here's my somewhat expert advice to anyone considering a GHB. 1) have broken in good fitting shoes, boots or sneakers available with your pack. Office shoes, the work boots with steel toes, and similar won't give you the best speed. Maybe even a good pair of socks. If nothing else, this is the most important thing I can say. 2) a chest/sternum strap and a waist band on the pack are a distinct advantage. 3) do your roadwork, give up a day and get on the road wearing that pack early in the morning. At noon turn around and go home. a) what distance did you cover? b) what are you going to get rid off, what are you going to add? c) after those decisions, do the roadwork and evaluate the pack contents again d) extra shoelaces and extra socks are a plus. 4) Consider your typical route, your typical need for the bag, Southern California wildfire and earthquake, Minnesota blizzard, Gulf coast hurricane with jammed roads, Chicago World Series, Newark riot, and tailor your bag for that. a) some may need a gas mask, most won't b) maybe you need a map of the not highway streets and marked what neighborhoods to avoid 5) any weight you carry will slow you down. a)Why are you considering a fire? Why cook? Is work that far? b) How much water? Do you think no water will be available for the entire trip? c) Money will be no good? Really, carry cash. Until the end of the first week of SHTF cash will always get you something. d) A healthy lightly encumbered person should be able travel 24 miles in a on good terrain easily in 8 hours including a couple stops for rest. I did that often in my 20's and 30's. e) I also know that back country with a full pack with multiple days supplies, a good day was 11 miles, a great day with a full pack backcountry was 15 miles. 6) Maintain the pack, food packages get opened, water gets stale, seasons change, mice eat and things decay. You don't want your summer pack when it is -5 degrees out. 7) At some point on the get home speed may be more important than carrying anything, always consider dumping stuff including the entire pack. If you have four miles to go and the pack keeps you from running or trotting so it will take two hours, or you could dump the pack and make it home in 40 minutes what is important to you and your family. 8) cash, in singles in one pocket, twenties in others, spread it out. Be ready to offer cash for a ride or a phone call, be ready to buy a snack and a drink, be ready to get a hotel room until the riots cool down or the wildfire is out. 9) Give up your vehicle as a last resort. You can be often safer in a vehicle than on foot 10) On foot you will have traveling companions, you will get them, and they will be all kinds, the know it all, the always a crisis, the bully, the wimp, the go along with the crowd and the lone wolf are just a few of the possibilities. Choose your traveling companions well. Don't be afraid to dump them if they can't keep up or are causing problems. "I have my own responsibilities and you are not one of them." The woman in heels is the first to leave behind. Second is the person that can't make a decision in less than 30 seconds. 11) Private property may be more protected in a crisis than typically be careful crossing private property. Like I said, I've seen things, also have been places and done things, I just don't have the t-shirt anymore.

Lots of good information in your comment 👍🏼 everyone’s situation is different and should be considered when building a pack. Thanks for the comment and advice.

[@cass973]

Little bag holds a lot of useful stuff

[@goatsfirewoodandfarms1918]

I love it can do I usually carry a small pot to boil water or melt snow in my bag too but you could always use your metal water bottle too I guess. Have a great weekend buddy and thanks for sharing

[@tscott3139]

I also always have some fishing line and hooks in my bag... Great video

[@goatsfirewoodandfarms1918]

Good idea

[@3vil3lvis]

Your plan is to stop and do some fishing on your way home?

[@RR137G]

@3vil3lvis When you commute as far as I do, you might need to .

[@3vil3lvis]

@@RR137G I never needed to and never thought that was even an option given the lack of fishing spots along the 2 hour commute I used to drive.

[@GreaseMonkey309]

Gotta get me one of those bags 👍

[@cass973]

No you can't drive

[@Brewersprospecting420]

Let's go 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

[@trooperjinthewoods4538]

Carry a small metal cup or pot. Add spare socks , hat gloves ( warming layer at least of some kind ) Add a tarp or poncho. Increase the size of your pack a little bit so you have room to add things, supplies found along the way- because home might not be there when you get there.

Got 1 and so do my wife and kids

Awesome video man. "What's in your Wallet? Working on mine all the time. Yeah, Lot's of Amazon. LOL. "Reaper is kickass. Don't know til U need it. I got something, I added to bag I want to share with you when I get a chance. One of those things, I don't know what I will need it for , Until I do. Great video CAN DO.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Went and ordered the Solar pack, did not have one. Thanks for the heads up, looks good

[@chrisroberts917]

Cool video. Thank you

[@davidcanham]

Great video 👊 send it

[@G0MERP3]

If you have a the funds I recommend investing in a legitimate holster specifically designed for your exact model gun.

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

I have a video in the hopper about mine also coming up in a couple months. Mine has some more stuff in it but i have a little different situation. Good job you earned my sub!

[@CanDoOutdoors]

Awesome… some people don’t realize that there is no right or wrong stuff to have. It’s all about the individuals needs. 👍🏼

[@Goldpan-SuntanNM]

@CanDoOutdoors A video like this needs to be 3 or 4 hours long hahah. I actually need a second channel just for this kind of thing. There are so many opinions of things like this that it practically impossible to properly articulate everything in such a short amount of time. I thought it was great and at least some folks may start to realize thr benefit of having some preparedness items around.

[@RR137G]

I love small packs. Mine is about dubble the size of yours, and it's very non tactical looking. Mine definitely still needs work. I need a basic med kit and tarp. I have a stainless cup to boil water and a couple of reflective tarps. I plan on adding a small fishing line and some hooks. Also, I have an EDC pouch that will fit in it that has a lot of small tools. But other than that our packs are very similar. I think the only thing I have that you don't have is an axe and one bag of dehydrated food.

[@CanDoOutdoors]

Very good ideas.. I plan on adding a few things myself 👍🏼

[@RR137G]

Your content reminded me of things I need to do to mine. 👍

[@Blueknight1960]

I'm assuming when you say get home bag, in case of emergency you can walk home from work if needed. Well my work is about a 20 min drive on the main road and about 10 more mins if I take the back way, which I do most of the time because it's a lot less traffic. So if an emergency happen to where I couldn't drive home, It shouldn't take more than 4 hours to walk home depending on my walking speed. The terrain is basically flat with a few small hills ( more like dips), if needed I could just walk along the train tracks which will get me to within 5 miles from home I live out in the country). Short of an enemy invasion, there is no weather where I live that will cause an emergency where I would have to walk anywhere. Earthquakes, wildfires, flooding or any other such natural disasters are not a threat. I also don't make my life so busy that I'm never home. I am semi retired and work 3 days a week so I'm home most of the time anyway.

Oops! Thought I was already subbed

[@3vil3lvis]

How did you go from a get home bag video to a night in the woods? Those are two different things. Getting home isn't a camping trip. Why do you need a prybar? Breaking an entering isn't going to get you home. Do you not have keys to your home? Buy a climbing rated carabiner they are not that expensive. Why do you need to explain a charging cord? These cords are self explanatory it's in their description they are for charging. You would be better off carrying two water bottles, two bananas, and a skateboard.

[@phild8095]

And having a good pair of shoes/boots and a fresh pair of socks.

[@CanDoOutdoors]

I appreciate your opinion. But what if you can’t hike home in 1 days? You might have to spend the night somewhere… everyone has different opinions and scenarios they plan for.. I think as long as you have some level of preparation. That’s what it’s about. No judgment here. Also I do spend a lot of time in the woods so camping overnight could be something I personally might have to do.

[@CanDoOutdoors]

Definitely agree on extra socks… shoes or boots are always in my truck

[@CanDoOutdoors]

I guess the title of the video should be “Emergency Pack”… wasn’t trying to be misleading… I do believe I said that in the video

[@3vil3lvis]

@@CanDoOutdoors "But what if you can’t hike home in 1 days?" That is what the skateboard is for. Most people work within 40 miles of their home, most people will be trying to get home from work. A secondary conveyance is often more important than camping gear. Your first plan should be to phone a friend, taxi or tow truck.

Anyone who starts out by trying to impress with opening a knife is not a teacher. Sorry.

😂 I never claimed to be a teacher and was definitely not trying to impress anyone.
