Don’t laugh. My husband and I got these amazing back packs and then I loaded them up with all our prepper stuff. Turned around and backed up to the table so i could slide the straps onto my shoulders and then walk away.....except they were so heavy with IMPORTANT stuff that two steps forward and i fell backwards from the weight! I could not even make it 2 steps away from my table let alone try to get to the front door!!!! (We are 70).....(but we think like we are 30!😳🤣) Imagine an episode out of I Love Lucy!!!!

Good lesson, pack properly and accordingly for your respective strength. Also experiment in the field with your gear to see how far you can actually go and self sustain yourself. In our family we do this each time we go on a hike on the weekends, as a drill to help us keep fit and ensure our bags meet the needs to survive accordingly across various scenarios, environments and seasons.

Here's a tip from a Soldier: - Get a backpack that looks cheap, civilian, and unassuming, best in black or another neutral color. - Wear none of the gear strapped to the outside of the pack. - Don't wear any military-looking items visible to others. Wear them under your clothes, hidden from sight The goal is to blend in and appear nonthreatening and not worth the hassle/not worth robbing.

Rubbing alcohol applied to the feet will remove the moisture close to the skin surface and toughen (leather) up the skin to help prevent blisters and antifungal foot powder will help keep them dry.

Solar bag for collecting water from foliage. They cost almost nothing and weigh nothing but they are super useful to have. 👍 Oh also salt and some sugar or something sweet, if you have a shit day a packet of gum or some lollies can really boost your mood. Just to have something sweet.

Excellent video. As an ER physician, I would have something different from Amoxicillin. Amoxicillin is great for ear and throat infections, but not much else. Instead, I would carry Clindamycin (great for soft tissue/skin infections) plus dental infections (ever had a bad dental infection? It sucks). I would also carry Ciprofloxacin for traveler's diarrhea (E. Coli, Salmonella, Shigella). Triple antibiotic ointment (not spray) and Betadine wipes are also great. Agree with the Imodium for diarrhea, as well. Spare clean socks are key--take care of your feet.

Cipro has a black box warning. It can kill those with connective tissue disorders.

A little backpacking trick I use is instead of spray antibiotic ointment I typically bring the gel type.

[@quentindelvigne7141]

When I was in the Military, I had a training with the Belgian Paracommandos (green beret) and they taught us something useful. You don't necessarily need a tent or a tarp if you have a poncho. Take one or several pine cones, stuff them in the hole where your head goes when you put on the poncho. Tie the whole thing with a wire and you can basically create a small shelter in case of rain. The other thing is, always make sure you can survive 48 hours without your bag. Our backpacks had a special lever you could pull on to run away without the bag if need be (yes don't get into a fight when you are bugging out, run away from it if you can, that sometimes requires you to drop your kit). And you had to always carry what you needed to survive for 48 hours by yourself (a cereal bar, some water (condoms are great way to carry water, we even had them in our MRE rations), etc)

Don’t forget to pack dog food and water for the pups

[@zactanner5187]

He is talking about bugging out not a damn camping trip. If the dog can't find his own food and water, he might as well be food himself. He has a family to feed before worrying about carrying extra weight in the form of dog food.

[@zactanner5187]

Because they can actually serve a utilitarian purpose like hunting and self defense/combat. If you were alone that is one thing. They could be a companion in a time when you would be alone most of the time. But in his situation, in a bugout scenario with his family, dog food will be a low priority in my opinion. I could be wrong. Maybe CP would like to chime in.....

[@BosleyBeats]

@@zactanner5187 it’s thinking about the concept of having a survival kit in general. So emergencies where you use your survival kit can range from getting stuck in the wilderness, getting stuck on a highway for days due to a natural disaster, or having no other choice but to leave your home or your vehicle and venture onward. CP learned about this when he got his rig stuck in the snow and he had his two pups with him. He had no food for them and their anxiety kicked in, leading them to shit everywhere in his truck and make things a worse on demand survival situation for him. So it’s a reminder, SHTF doesn’t always mean the end of the world, it’s literally being stranded for a few hours and watching a situation going from fully in your control to out of your control in a short period of time.

[@BosleyBeats]

@@zactanner5187 also, dogs aren’t like what they were years upon years ago. Unless you’re living in the wilderness and feeding your dog whatever, their stomachs will not be akin to eating whatever scraps and such are around. Water, totally fine. My German Shepard can definitely find its own water. But dogs today’s have tailored diets. So I do a hybrid approach and have him eat some bland human food I’ve made for him and I understand what foods are poisonous to him or can cause stomach discomfort like diarrhea/ vomiting. So I always have spare kibble in small bags in my survival kit in the car and the ability to purify water for him or me. I live near oceans. Dogs, like humans can’t drink salt water. So you need to have desalination tablets and you need to get the animal akin to drinking out of streams and processing the bacteria from upstream like ghiardia and other stuff. In the end, you can have all the gear and gadgets n shit. But if you’re not knowledgeable in a 360 degree sense about your environment, ecosystem and company you keep (human or animal). Your chances for keeping comfortable and surviving, greatly diminish and become a bad situation for you.

[@zactanner5187]

@@BosleyBeats I don't disagree with the fact that dogs are not what they used to be. An emergency situation and bugging out are similar yes but not the same. I imagine that the situation CP is talking about lately is more than just an emergency situation. That is just my opinion and interpretation of course. The bottom line is if you think the dog is hardy enough to survive a bugout scenario or going off to be in a feral pack great. But if you have a dog with health problems of any kind that would keep it from being able to keep up with vigorous survival, the best thing you can do is a .22 to the head and a proper burial to keep it from ending up in someone's stew pot.

Never know when you’re gonna need it in these types of situations & it could cost you your life without it. It would absolutely suck if you’re experiencing uncontrollable stomach issues, and then needing to be proficient in saving your life at the same time😂

Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any sewing needles (for splinters and sewing) superglue (wounds) gorilla tape, tealight candles, insect repellant, Sting Eze, chapstick (for zippers and fire), aluminum foil, seasonings etc. I have all that and a ton of other stuff in a 28 oz watertight container.

He’s prior military so I’m sure he knows what he’s doing. A tactical belt probably wouldn’t be useful with this backpack as this backpack does wrap to the waist where a utility battle belt would be. As even in the Military, a carrier is all is carried essentially. I have a pack that carries my life saving essentials, and then I wear a plate carrier that carries my defensive and battle essentials. And the ONLY thing i carry on my hip is just a handgun. Everyone is different, everyone trains in accordance of their own pack. All I have to do is drop my pack, pull a zipper and I have a pack of stop bleed powder (what the military uses) along with antibiotics and trauma essentials. I like having my backpack loaded with my essentials because I can always drop my pack and use it as a gun prop in a prone position for defensive situations, a loaded duty belt wouldn’t feel comfortable laying on the ground.

I've been using some MSR groundhog mini stakes. They're about 6 inches and red so you don't lose them, plus have a paracord pull string which makes removing them so much easier.

If someone is determined to take your BOB you still want to be able to survive with what you have on you.

[@coreydouglas8338]

You have some very well thought out choices. I have a few recommendations , my experience being 18yrs in scouting where I received the rank of Eagle Scout. The very first thing I thought of before you mentioned it was you might be carrying too much weight. And even if you are not, it needs to be said that guidelines exist to determine how much you should carry so that viewers do not replicate this guide and injury themselves. I understand you are physically active, I am too. That being said, for hiking most medical professionals are going to say that 15% of your body weight is all the average human should be hiking with. Some say 20-25% but its Important to know that figure is for experienced hikers in peak condition that are hiking short distances. For anyone reading this at home wondering if they are an experienced hiker, ask yourself have you hiked thousands of miles in all different climates, trail conditions., and weather conditions? If you have not I would recommend sticking to the 15% rule until you’ve had some more experience working those back muscles. This is hard truth for active people to swallow, believe me I used to be guilty of carrying too much myself. It’s not about your fatigue point, it’s about natural wear and tear on your body as well as metabolism. The more weight you carry, the more energy you burn, the more food and water you need to survive.

[@ashleegardner6819]

Great comment. Thanks for the tips.

[@GlorifiedGremlin]

Idk I'm a fairly small guy, by the 15% rule I shouldn't carry more than 25ish pounds. But 40 pounds doesn't feel all that difficult. 25 is near effortless, 40 would just require some effort. I think the worst that's ever resulted of carrying 40-50 pounds personally is some sore thighs the next morning lol

How the hell I'm supposed to, just walk, with this anchor? I'm skinny, yes, but I can work, hard, no problem at all. But surviving conditions? Moving? With this? Out of maintained trails? Impossible.

[@DailyDaze]

Some advice (all the gear has been tested in the field) -Look into getting a Carinthia bivy bag, preferably an XP 2 Hooped bivy (for max comfort v weight ratio) or Combat bivy (lightest option). Ditch the emergency one. These are as good as they get, the US army one is too heavy and bulky also less breathable. The most compact one is the Combat bivy. Nothing beats Carinthia, used by special forces worldwide, will last a lifetime. -German army foldable sleeping mat (it fits inside of your backpack and acts as a backplate). -Also, ditch your emergency blanket for a "Thermartex Heat Reflective blanket" (made in the UK), these are next gen blankets and they will outlast everything else on the market, they work great + almost noiseless, feels like actual fabric. It comes in green.

One thing no one ever mentions is spare room in your backpack, extra room to stash something important you might find/need depending on the situation. Also, another backpack/fanny pack etc. that you can part ways, lend to your friend or someone you meet down the road. I'm loving the overload shelf on the new Mystery Ranch backpacks that quickly doubles the amount of stuff you can haul and even awkward bulky items without losing room from your backpack.

[@StevanOutdoor]

I agree. When I go our for a 10 day nature hike I pack a 55 liter backpack for instance. Just before I leave I throw everything in a 75 liter backpack not adding anything. This means on the road I can just stuff my gear in there instead of folding and fitting everything tight. It's more bulk but not more weight. And you still have room left for stuff you find or need on the way. Like a 6 pack of beers for instance.

[@thetrekkingwoodsman2051]

I'd like to see a 15lb max bugout bag (before water and food). I just don't think a 40-50lb pack is reasonable. I mean, even long distance hikers do not carry 40-50lbs and these people have to walk for incredibly long distances (1,000 miles +). I don't care how healthy you are, 40lb+ is heavy after walking for hours. Maybe for a workout, maybe for a 3-5 hr trek in the woods for camping, but not day-after-day-after day of walking. Additionally, this 40-50lbs does not account for any ammunition, firearms, fishing kit, hunting gear, or body armor. This kit that the Canadian Prepper has is entirely based on camping, not bugging out. If you ask me, if you're in a city and bugging out, there will be plenty of abandoned vehicles to sleep in. 2nd, if you use a tent in a city, you're probably going to be robbed. 3rd, if you live in the wilderness, why are you bugging out? Is there an asteroid landing on your location? I could go on, but this just doesn't make sense. This setup is for camping, not bugging out. I really think bugging out means 1 of 2 things. Either you leave your home and town in your vehicle and use your vehicle as a base camp. Or, you're on foot with an expected destination that you can reach in a specific time period and you base your bugout bag on that criteria. For instance, if I have a destination 4 hours away, then I want as lite as pack as possible to quickly and safely maneuver obstacles and reach my destination in as short of time as possible, say before sundown or sunup. Even if my destination was two-days walk away, I want simplicity, lightweight, and probably a firearm for safety. This heavy pack Rambo manure needs to be reconsidered and like I said, even if creating a basecamp with a tent was the idea... He brought nothing to defend it and nothing to get more meals when his runs out. Think about it...

[@dsquires16]

I don’t think it’s too much gear. You can ditch the gear you don’t need go the situation at hand. Food gets consumed quickly so having 4 meals is not a bad thing. Having the gear to get home if you have to walk days to get there is invaluable. It’s being prepared….

I can truly say you need a way to hold and filter water, a container to heat and cook, a knife, a saw(or saw blade), a way to make fire, a poncho, some 550 cord, a bag to put everything in. With practice this is all you need to get by. It’s better to carry food and clothes then tons of gear you never need. Skills are more important than gear. Like making cord from a water bottle. Can’t stress enough training will save your life. Videos and books help but the difference between a beginner and a pro is not messing up it knowing what to do when everything goes wrong.

@@richardhenry1969 any advice for us with kids?

[@richardhenry1969]

@@GeorgeOrwellWasRight my advice that I was trained over and over. If you want to prepare, you need to practice. With kids and family you need to make it fun. Go on hikes first , get kids used to carrying packs ( water /lunch) Then do weekend trips(Friday night /quick camp setup) then Saturday and Sunday hiking, fishing,navigation (very important to teach kids how to read maps. Start with trail knowledge( hard roads, trails with makers) The more time you spend in the outdoors the more you find what gear you need. Nobody will make it without training. These videos give you a idea but unless you do the work your just looking for failure. The best advice I can give would be join a boyscout troop. You might have to try different ones. I've been training my nephew he can't wait for boyscouts he didn't like cub scouts has much ,we're looking for another troop we didn't fit in. That's my opinion I hope helps any questions in particular just ask. My background is very extensive in survival. Even if it's a bit outdated 😆

I’m ten years old, and I’ve been getting into survival stuff lately. And I’ve spent so much money on my survival bag. Yours is SO COOL and I really wish I could have it. My parents always ask me why I’m into survival stuff and i always say because its fun, and they say that we don’t need to worry about that stuff. I would do anything for your big out bag. This might sound silly but if you could I would love too have it.

Just learn bushcraft from KZbin and practice in your backyard. Also read “bushcraft by mors kochanski, and SAS survival guide,”. Theyre both very cheap from amazon. Ask your parents to buy them for you. Youll learn alot. Good luck!

"This is the water bladder I use." Shows a brand new never used bladder. 🤦‍♂️ I would get rid of the Post its, vitamins, the extra bivy, the extra saw, the extra medkit, the extra signal mirror. You don't need a wood splitting knife if you are bringing 2 saws... I would drop that too. I would throw in a change of clothes and find more to take out if the pack. I would swap out the water pills for a sawyer squeeze, you'll get more mileage. Are all the knives, saws, and flares to personal protection bc of gun restrictions where you live?

[@minecraftpro2074]

Actually I'd just take a Knife Hatchet and Saw The Saw would be for cutting Down trees yes a Hatchet can cut down a tree but not as easily as a saw the next thing I'd take is a Knife meal prepping and stick Sharpening is going to be key to survival you could do the same with a Hatchet but I find the knife easier but certain fish skins like Gar have some tough skin and finally the Hatchet I'd use for splitting wood which that wood would need to fit in an improvised camp fire in a survival situation which you dug with a Trowel or by hand obviously not wanting to dig too deep of a hole anyways the rest of your points I agree with an extra pair of socks shoes and a long sleeve shirt and Jeans I always pack as well as some shorts and a pair of work gloves

Good to see a well equipped bag, a lot of guys out there are forgetting the basics of food and water! I would definitely have a couple of clothing items in there though, like a warm layer and a rain jacket. Also I don't get why so many people put their blanket on the outside of their pack, to me your sleeping system should be inside, waterproofed.

[@dm_ex_machina3395]

Mostly because you're limited on interior space and if you put your sleeping gear on the inside all the little things that actually need a container to be carried won't have as much space. I keep my tarp rolled up on the top and if the weather suddenly turns on me I can simply roll it down over my entire bag to keep everything safe. Also if I have to set up camp with low light its easier to not have to dig through a bag and potentially lose things you've secured. Being able to quickly throw out your sleeping gear without having to unpack your entire camp is very useful. Especially if you haven't found a secure camp location yet.

@@PreparedPathfinder Yes. So am I. I'm talking about using a tarp to protect your blanket, sleeping bag, whole entire bag. Sleeping bag on bottom. Tarp on the top. Unroll the tarp from the top so that it covers your entire bag (blanket included) whenever the weather comes down.

I am more of a hiker than bushcrafter. Even though it will retain it's insulating properties when wet I would recommend a waterproof cover/dry sack for your wool blanket. I also love the Sawyer squeeze water filter.

[@thetrekkingwoodsman2051]

I think long distance hikers are the best bugout systems one can emulate. Most go for a very lightweight system to meet their needs until they reach their next destination. I think bugging out should be thought of similarly in this manner. Basically, just bring what you absolutely need so you can move with purpose and reach your destination in as little time as absolutely necessary. The only addition I would add over the long distance hiking mindset is some kind of defensive tool or firearm, but even that would be dependent on your location and the level of risk you're exposing yourself to. I definitely think a 40-50lb pack is a death sentence, injury waiting to happen, or at the least just another avoidable risk for most people if they're forced to bugout.

[@puddin94]

I also like light weight t-woodsman. A lot of my bag centers around what i learned hiking long distances. The hike is just part of it when bugging out. When you get to the refuge camp you may find no help there. What's on your back and in your head maybe all you get for a long time. Check out vids of Pakistan, afgan, African refuge camps also vids on Katrina and even homeless camps in LA. Plan well t -man😊

[@RannonSi]

@@thetrekkingwoodsman2051 Pretty much my thought. It'd be very interesting to see a BOB inspired by Ultralight backpacking. I.E. This is how you make a bug-out-bag that actually will take you home rather then dead in a ditch because someone with a school rucksack can run much faster than you (whether it's them getting out of the situation first, or into you neck with a knife doesn't really matter). Myself I started looking into getting a Ultralight-inspired hiking set(?) when I noticed that I could save about 2.6kg (5.8lbs) of my base-weight by getting a better (both warmer and a bit lighter) sleeping pad, a down sleeping bag (currently calculating the weight as up to 800g (1.7lbs) but hoping to find one for as close to 500g (1.1lbs) with a Tcomf of -1 (30f), and of course after that, a lighter backpack (when my packing is small/light enough for that to not be a problem) as I'd be closer to getting to a 3kg (6.6lbs) saving before even looking for other things. Edit: And not least, the huge amount of space saved (I.E. going from a synthetic to a down sleeping bag, closed foam pad to a inflatable one and going down in backpack size (hoping for 15-20 litres less from my current 75l one).

One thing that seems odd to me is the dependence on a wood fire for the most of the meals. Horrendously inconvenient for urban situations and even for the bush if your focus is rapid commute. Two saws, a hefty machete type blade, and a bushcraft knife that’s almost as large, but 6-7 oz for a stove and pot is too heavy? Especially considering it can be used under your tarp, seems like a no brainer.
