Essential Items To Build A Bug Out Bag

[@polaritypictures]

a tip you might want to tape your battery contact up so they don't short out in the plastic bag, in addition take the batteries out of any flashlights and saran wrap them around the flashlight(It'll prevent the batteries from discharging, leaking, corroding the flashlight due to lack of preventative maintenence.) and make a list of everything in your pack with pack date and dates to rotate or check as many people are lazy and don't bother paying any attention to how old things are.

Thanks for your vid. After using survival/bugout kits for 60 plus years, and watching hundreds or maybe thousands of vids on the subject, I'm now thinking that it makes more sense for me to carry less gear and more life-sustaining food. I've learned that I can often make due without the gear, except for critical items like a knife, tarp, and a metal canteen.

[@walterkovacs4069]

It's so cool to see bugout bag videos where people are finally acknowledging that's there's never just one solution to a problem. And survival kits need to be custom taylored to an individual's strengths, weaknesses, environment, predicament, etc. Dude that radio looked pretty friggin sweet! :D Could you do a short video on it? Or at least tell us the make/model so we can check it out? Assuming it has a usb out to recharge devices (like the eton microlinkfr160?). *Si vis pacem, para bellum!*

Looks better than most. I would add salt some spices. Try eating a chipmonk or squirrel or jack rabbit it ain't gonna be good. Small packages of soy sauce would be good.

A Sawyer water filter system takes up way less room and gives you 1 Million Gallons of clean water. Leather gloves are better than any of those with nylon or rubber, especially when dealing with fire. I carry a NOAA Weather radio, but I think you need to be licensed by the FCC to use a HAM Radio. A scanner would be a good thing to have though. Good luck getting all that (esp. the firearm) into a Red Cross Camp. You would be better off out on your own with all this gear. Personally I would rather go on my own if possible and would avoid any sort of R-C / FEMA type stations unless I was in dire need of medical attention. The biggest thing you forgot to mention is to have a PLAN that everyone you want with you knows and to train with them in actually using (gear) and the mental preparedness that it will take to live in a bug out situation. Good Luck and Godspeed, - danofiremano

Robert Olmstead Cool. I didn't know that (emergency clause). I just know someone in a HAM Club that say's you need to test to get a licence to use one (in every day normal life).

[@zero11010]

I really like that you're not suggesting an 80 liter bag with 50+ pounds of gear! I see it way too often in these BoB suggestions. On the topic of weight ... by going with something more civilian oriented you can save a lot of weight. Most military style bags like what you're showing weigh 5+ pounds empty. Many backpacks specifically used for hiking outdoors for days at a time with everything you need on your back (sounds like bugging out, right?) will weigh much, much less. In fact, a simple Kelty Redwing 50 is a larger pack (not that the size is needed) and it weighs about 3 pounds empty. That may not seem like much, but it reduces the overall carry capacity you're talking about by about 10%. Molle webbing looks neat, but it's heavy, especially if you're carrying a bunch of individual pieces of gear that each have it.

[@ejectedcasings7302]

Honestly I think it's a matter of preference. Some people feel like the quality of a military pack might be higher than that of a "civilian" pack.

It SHOULD go without saying, but extra glasses or contacts if you wear them. Also, SHOULD go with saying, if the doctors have you on meds, blood pressure, stress, heart meds, bring 5-6 months supply. FYI sometimes doctors will not prescribe that much. Be on good behavior and explain why. Many times they are afraid of black marketing. Another option I'd find alternatives (don't be afraid of natural alternatives.) if Dr. won't prescribe them.

Tent as a BoB option: I agree with you that tents are often heavy, and per dollar spent you can get higher quality non tent options for less than a lot of decent tent options. That being said, there are some FANTASTIC tents out there. I recently did a backpack trip with a group and the tent of choice for everyone was the Big Agnes Fly Creek Ultraight 1. It's a 1 person tent with a 33oz total weight. It maintains 22 square feet of floor space and a little over 5 feet of vestibule room.

[@dmsawyer]

it's absolutely unnecessary ...packing dehydrated food is way more logical ...watching shows like naked and afraid points out just how silly hunting in a 3 day scenario is.Your energy burned is not worth the energy you gain over such a short period of time...far better with one high protein high calorie dehydrated meal and a candy bar you go with no food and try to hunt during a bug out scenario...I'll plan to eat with supplies with me (dehydrated meals) you are leaving eating to chance I'm planning on it which allows me to plan other more important issues while in a bug out scenario...like moving to a secure location

[@e1itensd578]

doug sawyer just a quick correction naked and afraid is over 21 days so it's not silly to hunt cos they would struggle otherwise I mean hunting actively is not majorly clever hunting dormantly is better like setting up traps etc because it low energy needed and it's can work fishing is probs the best form of hunting if anything

OK, of you have to BO , you will NOT BO to the wilderness. You will BO to a hotel, to a shelter or to friends or family or wherever the govt tells you to go. You don't want tactical gear, you want to look, "gray" , so a suitcase, with a handle and wheels would be better. See my "Prepper Rant" video.

[@livingsurvival]

cchgn I disagree. I want to look tactical. IMO people are less likely to mess with someone that obviously has guns loaded. Just make sure you know how to use. Also, if SHTF or natural disaster like flood or tornado or earthquake you aren't going to be going to a hotel or friends house for a few days most likely. Thanks for the comment.

[@cchgn]

Living Survival Maybe in your video game mind, but in the REAL world, folks see you walking around for no apparent reason, in tactical gear and may have weapons, they will snipe you and take your gear, if the cops or NG don't pick you up first.. Btw, I've been in several direct hit hurricanes and earthquakes and wild fires and tornado and never had to BO anywhere, especially on foot and to the wilderness. IN ANY of that, that is the WORST time to be outdoors. That's a stupid idea. I'm saying that surviving is the ability to make ALL the RIGHT decisions, ALL THE TIME. I'm saying that planning to BO to the wilderness is a BAD DECISION I'm saying that NO ONE will ever have to BO on foot to the wilderness and try to survive for a few days.. I'm saying that even if you DID have to go somewhere, you don't want to be "tactical guy". You want to be the "grey man". IMO, the urge to want to look "tactical" to make an impression is making up for insecure short comings. If you're secure in yourself, you won't feel the need to "standout". I'm saying that in NOLA in Katrina, folks were bussed to hotels, in other cities. Those that stayed, stayed at home or in FEMA trailers. RIGHT NOW, in WV, at that train derailment, folks evacuated to hotels and family, etc. NONE had to BO to the woods. The authorities wouldn't even allow it. Up North , tens of thousands without power and the Mayor has issued a stay indoors order. DO NOT leave your house. BO is not an option,. The authorities wouldn't even allow it.

[@livingsurvival]

In Katrina people were stranded on their roof tops for days. Those that made it to the stadium were in no better shape and in every situation would have been better off if prepared. I might be sniped if I don't snipe you first. We all prepare differently according to skill set and area. But since you are an expert you should make a video. Also, bugging out can be done anywhere, who said anything about it being the woods.

[@cchgn]

Living Survival Not days, hours. I went there. I work with glass. I replaced alot of it in the Stadium and all over the city .Those close to the stadium went there for shelter,. They did NOT BO on foot. The looting was in a small part of the city, with folks who would loot at the first sign of any trouble anyway, in a high crime area of the city.. I saw folks survive by banding together in apt buildings with boarded up windows and "am armed, will shoot" painted on them. Most stayed where they were until the Govt removed them. The worst enemy of NOLA was mayor Nagan. He's in prison now. The Hurricane didn't do alot of damage there, the Levy breaking did. The hurricane damage was in Biloxi and Gulfport, Ms. I went there too. Those folks didn't loot. No one even thought of BO on foot. Many weren't able to anyway. trees were uprooted and dropped on houses 500 yds away. Barges were inland a half a mile, n top of houses and in tthe top of trees. Most didn't want to leave their homes, even tho many didn't have roofs or windows. They got FEMA trailers in their driveways. There was acres of FEMA trailers. Church was held in the yard where the church used to be. Neighbors helped each other. That is reality.

+Rat Finder , +Player 1, +Tavros Nitram, When you go to a Government Bomb Shelter, Camp, etc, you must turn in your weapons to an armory for their control, any food items you bring must be turned in and shared with everyone, even if they brought nothing. Under nuclear radiation conditions you will be forced out of the shelter to get radiated while others are brought inside. It will be run by a bureaucrat not a trained survival specialist. THESE are just some of the reasons to be wary of camps.

I pay attention to whats going on, I have a bug out plan... I will be out of the city, 72 hours before most people realize whats going on... I will not end up in any camp of any kind and I will avoid FEMA and the like.

[@ratfinder7812]

Player 1 Because you will be a slave... just think of what happened at the Astro Dome after Katrina... not for me

[@ladydagger27]

This was really great. I am putting together bob's and I really was able to get some fantastic ideas I hadn't thought of. People who don't know how to use items should also print out how to use them, and practice as well. In an emergency you don't want to be drawing a blank!

[@livingsurvival]

Kesa Featherstone Very true, practice makes perfect.

Why are so many prepers all chubs. The number one prep is physical fitness no mater how kick ass your pack is

[@alibobboify]

I totally agree with you, an overweight guy would burn more calories , get exhausted faster, and be much slower than a fit guy

[@giuseppelandolfi9375]

in fact if you want to be a "survivor" you have to train your body or after 20 miles with a huge bag on the back you will die!! so i totally agree with you!

[@sascha432]

so when all the fat guys r lying dead in the woods u can grap a lot of bug out backs.

[@SopaDeQuesoCaliente]

Don't ever let other peoples appearances fool you. I have seen some heavier people in the army who can do a lot more than skinnier ppl. I'm not arguing with you just warning you from experience. :)

[@Ninja1live]

Your probably right. (Not kidding...I have to get to the Gym...Right, after I eat the whole bag of Doritos. I'm getting to the Gym...Right after...ummmm...It's...just that...Doritos...ummmm....So...So...Good!) To the GYM!!!!

Awsome. Just started setting up my 1st dugout bags for me and the wife. I've got a nice bit started but definitely need to learn and try different things. We have 3 children too. Any advice for that? Ty stay safe

Very informative video. I gained a lot more input on certain items to have within a bug out bag. Thank you for the time you put into this video and the detail you shared regarding all of the items and options needed for a bug out bag. I look forward to another video!

[@livingsurvival]

+TheFinster360 thanks for taking the time to comment and watch.

[@jamescribbs5621]

Really liking the bag, what is the brand or what website can I find one?

[@johnwest4492]

What kind of solar panel are you using?

[@skylarsmith4323]

I've been trying to build a bug out bag and I feel I dont have everything I need yet and running into the problem of having to heavy of a bag afterwards. I'm waiting for a new pack to arrive. I'm hoping that it will be a better pack for what I need. Just worried about being over encumbered.

[@livingsurvival]

The main thing is you started. Get something together and modify from there. I am constantly modifying based on skill and experience.

[@saprissa9]

so there is no "wrong" way to use a shemag on your neck right? when I put it on sometimes I wonder if I look like a fool. I also have another question. how do you deal with ticks. I play airsoft in the woods and my father warned me about those.

[@livingsurvival]

+saprissa9 nope, no wrong way.

Fill your refills early.

Great video. Some of the items you mentioned have not come up in any other video that I've seen. Like where can I find the portable stoves that you carry? As well as the lantern?

[@fewr.x]

What brand hammock do you have? And what brand tarp? (The bags look the same).

[@livingsurvival]

DatHeadcrabTho (DatTho) Snugpak hammock and tarp.

[@fewr.x]

Living Survival Which hammock? They have a few

[@livingsurvival]

Tropical or Jungle. I've used both.

[@davefairbrother8924]

i loved almost everything that you presented. The only problem i saw is that you don't show how to get all that stuff in the bag you showed. Maybe it will but showing it fully packed with the things you show would be nice. Very thorough

[@USMCPOOKYGAMING]

What kind of pouch are you using for the food ? That's a pretty good idea I wanted to see if I can get some for my food and tools

[@livingsurvival]

+USMCPOOKYGAMING i typically just use a dry bag or ditty sack.

[@kunstwert]

I like the straight way you present the things. Not the usual endless blahblah. Cool.

I'm impressed with your outlook on what to carry and the reasons for carrying those items. Very well explained and informative, great video...keep up the good work, well done.

[@Trigger50AE]

Just came across this and you have some great tips somethings I personally wouldn’t have like the cooking stove but like you said some people might need it. At the end of the day the skills are more important than any piece of gear. Keep up the good work

[@Flynn2Go]

One of the best bug out bag videos I've seen, simply because you show a variety of gear and options for every part of the kit. You happen to have a list of everything in the video?

[@livingsurvival]

i don't but i do show it clearly and try to say what each is.

[@DannyWalker1949]

Your Big Knife in this video. What brand is it? Looks to be a good knife. Thanks.

[@jason6374]

Best BOB I've seen on the net. Suggestion: don't keep your batteries so loose that the anodes and cathodes can make unwanted contact. I have pretty much the same bag but I have a small fishing kit and an Emmrod fishing pole and reel stuck in there. It is really small and an absolutely a well made item. I keep my bag in my truck and use my fishing pole all the time. thanks for the great video

[@livingsurvival]

not important thanks for the comment, I will look into that rod and reel as I was looking for something like that. good tip on the batteries I was going to get one of those battery cases. thanks for watching.

[@chrisbioni9785]

what sleeping bag do you use...it fits in your backpack?

Chris Bioni Snugpak Softie Elite, yes it fits and is a 3 season, the smallest 3 season I could find.

You can also roll everything up inside your sleeping bag

[@mauricioalejandre9689]

What kind of shelter tarp is that ..link if you have it

[@nathanlief]

I would suggest 9mm, smaller caliber easier to carry more, also more readily available. Also you could carry a secondary carbine like the keltec 2000

[@livingsurvival]

I have since switched to 9mm
