Strip that bag down. In an urban environment you don't need six ways to start a fire, three kind of water purification, fishing line, and a rat trap to make a 10 mile hike. Throw an MRE in there, maybe a few energy bars, a FULL bottle of water, and a life straw for any questionable water you come across. In a city, you will still likely be able to find a bottle of water somewhere; so that may not even be necessary. Take one to two bic lighters. They draw no attention, and could be traded later if need be. Get rid of the overkill self defense tools. Pick a couple and go with those. Too many options only slows you down on decision making, and the weight slows you down physically. A good run is better than a bad stand. If legal in your state, consider a firearm...but if you're taking it into your office, that's likely a fireable offense. Pack a sensible first aid kit, which it looks like you did for the most part. Ditch the small mask, go down to Home Depot and buy a respirator, and some safety goggles/glasses and throw those into the bottom of your bag. They are less bulky than you think, and filter out many chemicals as well as particles. Put a multi tool in there, and pick a good flashlight, with some backup batteries. The flashlight on your phone is the backup for that light. Buy a cheap USB charger that goes in both the wall and a cigarette lighter for cars, and one cord that has both micro USB, and lightning link ends. They aren't expensive. Put a backup battery in there too, and call it a day. That gives you an extra charge, and a way to charge if you make it to any other power source. In an emergency scenario, you won't be playing angry birds on your phone, so draining the batter unexpectedly isn't much of an issue. That being said, having a spare charge to use the GPS system on it may be helpful. Don't waste time, money, and weight on twenty ways to charge your phone, start fires, filter water, catch and prep animals, or other situations that will NEVER happen in an urban environment. Put a small amount of meds in there for headache, diarrhea, allergic reaction, and antibiotics. Skip that gimmick cards that require you to be able to lock pick. That's a perishable skill that no one really keeps up with. Instead, buy a set of bump keys, whatever set you think looks most practical, and throw them in the bag. They won't draw much attention, and look more grey man, than someone trying to pick a lock like a cat burglar. I doubt that you could put a pry bar in there, and it not be a visit to HR if another employee went snooping through your bag, but if it's an option, it's not a bad idea. At the end of the day, you don't want that bag very full. That's extra weight that you'll have to carry; and it'll only encourage you to ditch equipment that you'll need later. You don't want to be making that judgement call in a crisis; people aren't thinking clearly then. Plan ahead now.

adam thompson He does have a multitool and a flashlight. He also has the meds. As for the water, you don't always have the time to drink from a filter, which he has, during such a situation. As for the animals, never say never. There are plenty of rodents in cities, and most cities have some water near them that have some fish in it. As for the defense, he has layers of defense like a lot of people. If one layer becomes obsolete, lost, or broken he has backup layers to draw upon. He has a breathing filter that will draw less attention than a mask from Home Depot. He only has 3 ways to charge his electronics.

I didn't say that didn't have a multi-tool. I was trying to cover what should actually go in the bag. Mostly to say, don't give in to OCD. No, having redundant weapons is not "layered", it's simply redundant. You will not be drawing close quarter melee weapons over and over, using a new one when the old one breaks. This isn't a video game. Look at how military/LEO's layer gear for a better understanding. They have lethal force, less than lethal force, and maybe a CQB less lethal option. That's firearm, tazer/mace, and baton. You will NOT have time in an altercation to dig through and find the next available melee tool. If shits going down, and you're that close...you'll die. Don't believe me? Watch some KZbin videos of cops making that mistake. That little air filter is a toy. It filters out particles, and that's about it. If you have a train derailment near you, you can have chemical spills that will get through that little mask. He talked about having a terror attack like 9/11. When something like that hits, and you're worried about air quality, trust me, a real respirator will be your life saver. Hell, people are wearing them at protests now to help stop chemical agents being used. Build a bag that is purpose driven. He said this was to help him get to his car after an incident. If he wants it to be a bug out bag, cool, but getting to your car, or getting back to your home/base, or whatever...then this load out is impractical. Further, in an immediate emergency situation, such as a bomb, terrorist attack, storm, etc. you won't be dealing with roaming gangs. You'll be dealing with other confused survivors. Not much need for OCD levels of fire making, water gathering, food prep, and weapons. But again, building a BOB or INCH bag, then those become viable. That's not what he said he's doing in the video though. He said he's building something to help him make a short hike across town, to make an evac. The bag should be streamlined, and helpful; not cumbersome and cluttered.
@SmilingGator967 жыл бұрын
adam thompson We can also assume he built the bag with more than a terrorist attack in mind. We can also assume that he's going to put most of the defense tools on him because he said he was. As for the mask, everyone is going to take a chance if such a thing needs to be used. If you have a respirator and someone doesn't, they might just try to take it from you. If you're wearing something like a face mask, there's less of a chance of that happening. How do you know the bag he built isn't helpful or purpose driven for him? Your bag and his will be different no matter what.
@adamtrolls8817 жыл бұрын
Look, I'm not trying to be a dick; I'm trying to be helpful. He DID say what his bag was meant for. He did reference 9/11, and the Boston bombing. He did say that it was intended for a 10 mile hike from where he parked and took the bus/train the rest of the way in. If he had said general purpose/bug out bag, I wouldn't be critiquing it the way that I am. If it was general purpose, there may be a reason for some redundancy. He may be splitting gear. But that's not what he said, and putting random gear on the outside of your bag draws questions too. It's not low profile. I've been at this game a while, and have learned a few things. I had to evacuate an area that had a train derailment. Spilled chemicals can greatly deteriorate your lungs, and can cause cancer some time after you've survived the initial event. Don't half ass your preparedness because you think you MIGHT draw attention. That just leaves your loved ones to deal with losing you when they didn't have to. It's a pretty simple thing to tell a random stranger that you grabbed the mask out of a hardware store three blocks down, and send him in that direction. You've just sidelined an altercation, and never drew your weapon. If someone recognizes your "low profile" mask, they're going to mark you for a prepper. If someone tries to take it, well you packed weapons right? My point to the whole thing is this, don't skimp on what matters, and don't go overboard in areas that don't. Having too many ways to start fire, too many ways to filter water, and too many melee weapons (when you don't have a lethal option in the bunch)...that's overboard. It's the same mistake that new concealed carry holders make. They buy a full sized firearm because they want maximum capacity, and big bullets, and long range. Real world says that situations involving firearms go as follows: statistically under 21 feet, 2-4 shots fired if any, and well over 90% of the time the firearm is never fired. Merely having one is enough of a deterrent. So what happens? The gun they buy is too bulky for their situations, to heavy for a new carrier, and results in them leaving it at home most times. The same will happen to a bulky, redundant bag. Which is better? The bag that you carry 100% of the time every day, that would cover 85-90% of the situations; or is the bag you only carry 40% of the time, that will cover 100% of the situations you can imaging for you and 3 other people? The simple solution is for him to make a BOB that he leaves in his car. It handles all the situations that he has in mind, for him and anyone else; and THEN make a streamlined bag that he carries to the office, like what he says is his intent in this video
@pietrayday99156 жыл бұрын
I agree - I'm in rotten shape and getting toward the elderly side of things, and as a result of a car accident I wound up having to take a 10 mile hike out of a small city a couple years ago in the middle of summer, most of the walk was through rural countryside, and I didn't have a bug-out-bag. It was only a couple hours of walking, thank God I didn't have all that junk to lug along with me, I stopped two or three times to rest but no food or sleep were needed, and the one thing I really regretted not having with me was at least one easily-carried large bottle of water, which I bought two of at a convenience store about 3/4 of the way through the hike. I was dreadfully thirsty through most of the walk, tired out and sore at the end of it, but it wasn't THAT big an adventure. The cash is a great idea, in my experience: if you need a ride out of a city, it seems like any taxi (Uber/whatever) drivers I've ever dealt with accept only cash, so you'll want some cash around for at least that. I recommend adding to the back-up cash a back-up official picture ID and credit card: if for some reason you lose your wallet (maybe as a victim of pick-pocketing or mugging before getting to this bag), and need to stay in a hotel/motel inside or outside the city, hotels/motels will usually refuse to let you stay without a picture ID and credit card. I can appreciate carrying a light-duty, well-stocked first-aid kit, a flashlight, and maybe some snacks for a little extra energy. Maybe you got roughed up in a mugging or bombing, but not so bad that you need to go to the hospital, or maybe you really need that snack for energy and comfort, that's sensible enough. I also like the beanie and compact jacket - the danger of the weather working against you on a 10-mile walk is nothing to sneeze at (I made the same walk later described earlier in autumn for more recreational reasons, and a sudden temperature drop halfway through made the walk rather uncomfortable! A jacket and beanie would have been appreciated under those circumstances.) One backup method for recharging your phone is probably a great idea, too - lots of folks can't live without a phone, and that's fair enough. And, maybe some sort of "gray man" self-defense item that won't get you arrested but might get you out of a rough spot is a good idea. However, the weapon-in-every-pocket look was played for laughs even in "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome", and carrying a half-dozen knives, a couple batons, and several thinly-disguised blunt/sharp objects could probably cause you a LOT of grief in an urban environment (once you get the attention of a police officer, the first thing they start wondering is what you've got in your pockets, your bag, your car, your home, etc., and they'll invent probable cause if they get curious enough; people and police in the city I work in are terrified of weapons, and minorities carrying pocket knives have been known to be stopped for little or no reason and then end up dead in police custody - nobody needs THAT sort of hassle just getting home from a city!) The traps, tents and camping stuff, fire-starting gear, water purifiers, and that sort of thing are pretty far over-the-top. The whole bag looks heavy and bulky even assuming a bunch of that stuff gets moved to your pockets - and that's weight and bulk you don't want to drag 10 miles with you, and the overstuffed bag looks like a big target for muggers, looters, rioters, police, and other people you'll want to avoid if things start going crazy in a city. Based on my experience: carry a lighter bag for an emergency 10-mile walk out of a city (carry water, a pen-light, backup cash, ID, and credit, and maybe a light snack and the first-aid kit, beanie, and jacket from the video), keep a different sort of emergency bag in your office/whatever in the city in case you get stuck there overnight (a cloth blanket, travel pillow, water, food, phone charger, etc.), and try to have a better escape plan than camping, fishing, and hunting your way out of anything much more serious than a 10-mile walk....

Get home scenario. Having had to walk home 14 miles from work in the early hours in the West of Scotland on the odd occasion I can tell you what you really need is firstly, good shoes. Then appropriate clothing. No use being dressed for the summer in the winter or vice versa. A litre of water is nice as is a bar or two of chocolate. But I can tell you what is really good, is a packet of tissues, just in case. Everything else is just extra weight that you have to carry and slows you down. Do you know, Charles Dickens used to walk about 12 miles from his nearest station to his home in Kent and all he had was his top hat. And I suspect, something in the hip.

I got snowed in on a visit to my company's office in Leeds a few years back and had to hike back to my hotel when the buses and taxis stopped running and I was wearing smart office shoes at the time. The rest of my clothing was fine but the shoes were not up to the task. I wound up walking into a branch of B&Q, buying a pair of wellies and hiking 5 miles in them through an unfamiliar city with only Google Maps and a rapidly depleting phone battery. Really made me realise a 'get home' scenario can jump at you out of nowhere. Boss refused to sign off on my expenses claim for the wellies as a 'travel expense' too.

Hey Tim, good video, but, as some have already mentioned here in the comments, the bag contains far too many self defense items and too many duplicates. I have to admit I used to do the same, but then I started doing 23-day solo hikes so learning how to pack light and then reduce my pack more and more has become somewhat of a necessary obsession ;). What I would do with your pack is to lay it all out on the floor and divide it into 3 piles: Needed, Wanted, Comfort. From there divide things into something you already mention: On person, in "grab-bag" and in main bag. Then only ever have 1 per item in each bag or on you and have no items more than twice. Throw the Sawyer into your grab bag and add some kind of cooking pot and some sport tape in case you hurt your ankle or knee. And then throw the rest away, especially the rat trap and similar items. Maybe watch some videos on thru-hiking, those guys and girls are absolute specialists when it comes to packing light :D. Good luck!

If the scenario gets that bad, the bad people will not want money, ( money will be worthless) they will want what you are carrying or what's on your person. A small .22lr semi-auto and a box of ammo, could change their mind. But I do like some of your ideas

Captain Right I wouldn't be so quick to discredit the lowly 22 caliber for self defense. I'll copy a comment and some statistics with a link. It shows that 22s are quite lethal. The following is from the article: "The data is what it is. I can’t change that. My study showed that people were stopped with fewer shots from the .22 than with any other caliber. Does that mean the .22 is the best choice? Not necessarily." www.activeresponsetraining.net/using-the-22-for-self-defense Personally, I prefer to carry either my 38 or my S&W 9mm but I think that if a 22 is the only weapon you have, it could be quite effective for self defense. I'm even thinking of getting one because I can hide it easier than even the 38 snub nose.

Great video. I like the bag very much. I loved the flashlight that uses different batteries. I would include a baseball style cap, cheap cotton gloves, sunglasses, a pair of wool socks and a head covering mosquito net. Maybe a high quality space blanket? I would include just a few more pills like aspirin, Tums, Benadryl and Aleve. I would consider having one bottle of water in a solid plastic bottle and a couple water purification tablets. One other thing to consider is maybe a laminated local map. If the phone is lost, stolen, charging or broken it might be needed. Instead of the baton I would get a short, light weight machete. Thanks!

My daily carry bag is my work bag. Therefore I have to carry things like a computer and a computer charger. I have two of the pouch type survival kits in this bag. I like this system as they contain everything I need to take out if I need to carry the bag on a plane or if I have to go through a metal detector to enter a federal building for work. It is a small messenger style bag, so I can easily reach pepper spray or the tactical pen in the outside pockets, as it is on my side not worn on my back. The rest of the stuff in the bag is dual use stuff. I have a poncho and an umbrella for when it rains, but the poncho could be shelter. I have a med-first aid kit. I have a few of the travel pack things of sunscreen, bug spray, lens wipes, and wet-wipes. I have alcohol gel, a surgical face mask, phone charger, USB power block, and a small stainless water flask. I always carry money for vending machines and I usually have $100-$200 in cash as that is the ultimate survival tool. I have a small Yaesu VX3 ham radio that is the size of a pack of tick tacks but will listen to AM, FM, SW and let me call for help if I hit one of the many HAM radio repeaters in my area. It also works as a police scanner. I always have my phone loaded with survival apps and reference books. I always keep a rain jacket at work, even in the summer. My car has a lot more gear but my work bag is almost always on me so it is my primary emergency kit. Worst case I have to walk 15 miles from work to get home.

Total cost for everything came to about $1,600 - a bit on the expensive side for me, and probably a lot of other folks as well.

I’m with Adam Thompson. Overkill. Over thought and horribly thought out. First a stuffed bag like that is not gray man. Most of the people who carry a bag like that it is loosely packed (a.k.a. not stuffed to bursting). I mean, a rat trap? Really? It’s a get home bag. Not a bug out bag. Too much unnecessary and unnecessarily redundant items. One thing I would say to add is caffeine pills like no-doz or something. You could be in for quite a long day and/or very short sleep sessions. The pick me up will be essential. But really dude, empty this out and rethink it. Like a car charger? Why not keep it your car? Or are you gonna steal a car or get a ride? A portable power bank is a great idea. A bulky wall plug for usb even though you have with your iPhone charger. That is for sure unnecessary redundancy. Ditch one of the wet wipes and add a small hand sanitizer (they can also be used to start a fire). Lot’s of stuff like that. Rip this thing down and rebuild it with less repetitive stuff. And definitely add a pry bar. Good for you for thinking of having a GHB but this one is not even half as good as you think it is. That said, what you got is better than nothing.
@gladius12752 жыл бұрын
Nice, well thought out kit. Just one possible suggestion you may have never considered. If this is a get home bag and you will have road access to do that, then leave an adult electric scooter in your truck. I have one made by Segway that will go almost 40 miles with the extra battery I added at 16 miles per hour. I know it may seem silly, but you could get home in an hour in an emergency and weave around stopped or dead cars if need be. Also it can be wheeled and carried depending on need and the batteries stay topped up for exceedingly long periods. I have a get home pack in my car and that collapsible scooter. Survival or saving a life may depend on you getting as far as you can as fast as you can. Also may help if you are injured and walking is not possible. Me? I don’t care about how I look, I care about what I can get done. Just a thought.

I don't know where to begin... so here goes. If you're packing for a 24-48 hour oh snap setup, rat trap is ineffective. Put in a just add hot water meal like instant mash potatoes and beef jerky. If you have time to cook that meal will be much better. There's a lot of gimic gear, and that's just going to get you hurt. Multi tool good call, extra folder ok, metal water bottle great, add a water key to get water out of a hose spigot. Flint and steel or firestarter, replace with a bic lighter. You have enough quick tender in there that you can get by with just a bic. The idea is to get out of the area so augment what you would normally carry daily instead of a whole extra load out. Ounces equals pounds and pounds equal more time and pain. Instead of two extra flashlights, put one flashlight and a head lamp. Hands free light will do you much more good. Foldable stove can be replaced with a soda can or make your own with a wire coat hanger. If you're going to bother with pepper spray instead get a gun. A fire arm will end a threat whereas pepper spray may just make your target angry. In all absolute seriousness do a dry run with the bag on a weekend and see what you use. Take a walk for the distance from the office to the car, or the office to home and see what you actually use. The most used thing will probably be the water bottle.

@Gabdube6 жыл бұрын
This. A weapon is something you either carry _with you,_ or you leave it in your home safe. Not something you leave somewhere unattended. A car is not a substitute for a properly set up gun safe. In the unlikely event that somebody steals their gun when 1) they left it unsupervised; and 2) they didn't lock it in a gun safe; whatever may be done with that gun afterwards was partly made possible because of their decision. I mean, it's obviously not the theft victim's _fault_ that someone else stole their property, but they could and should have stored their weapon better. Weapons are a kind of property that requires special attention on the owner's part, much like vehicles.

Well I certainly can relate to this because I live in a big city. For me, my urban get home bag is my EDC. I don’t want to seem like a weirdo but I don’t leave far from my house without essential items. Mainly water, food, fire and money. Ditch 90% of it. I bought a military canteen which I carry and use at work. I smoke so I always have a light. I use public transport so I always have at least a couple ramen soups in my pack. In my pockets I carry a knife and small flashlight. On my hip I carry a cheap hip knife. And I don’t need it but I carry a cane. And of course cash. Firstly you’re in a city. Water will be plentiful. Actually food will also. You won’t be less than a mile from a corner store or McDonald’s. Really the most concern one should have is being robbed.

For charging gear. Try to include multi port chargers. At Walmart last I knew at the registers they had a cube charging block that had 2 usb charging ports. The prongs fold up flush. About 1 inch by 1 inch. 1 port is 2.1A and the other is 1.2A. In both of my cars I have 2 port car chargers I found in the same area at Walmart. I swear by my wall charger because I used it to charge my phone and whatever else and now I’m using it here in Iraq. Compatible with both 110AC and 220AC (international). Also your AC block looked huge. I’m not sure if your headlamp is rechargeable using usb but something to look into. Only other thing is Kevlar thread. I haven’t personally looked into it but something I’m going to check when I get home. Kevlar cordage too. Otherwise great gear. Always finding new stuff to add to my kit with these videos. I’m looking at peanut butter packets for a versatile food item. Packs nearly 200 calories per oz, has excellent protein to repair tissues, carbs for energy and fat to help you feel full and of course energy. Vitamins and minerals too. Requires no prep, no utensils, no teeth. Can be portioned out easily. A little dab for your trap and a little for you. Best part is that it last forever. Watched plenty of ration reviews with peanut butter in MRE’s from the 80’s and almost always has survived. Same goes for C-rations from Vietnam. Just very stable food. Still plan to rotate mine every 3-5 years.

If you have a filter mask, you might as well ad some swimming goggles or such to protect the eyes from dust, smoke, gas etc. Just an idea.

likaboss302 sunglasses are good during the day but not if it's dark. Clear goggles/glasses are better at nightime

Very nice vid, i appreciate that the bag had no tacticle appearance nor its items, very low key yet very practical. It was surprisingly interesting the amount of items that the bag was able to hold. I was serprised at the mousetrape used for small game hunting, however pra ctical. Thx again

Hey, the rat trap comes in handy, if you're attacked by a rat. Or a really small guy. I like to carry a 20' logging chain, 300' of 10 mm line and a 10 lb coast guard anchor, just in case of a Tsunami. Could save your life! Did this guy use the code word? "Hack"..I didn't notice.
