Get Home Bag - A Marine's Perspective

[@TRDGE]

As an ER RN I also recommend milk as a mitigator to pepper spray in the event you get some in your eyes. Milk contains the protein "casein" which binds to "capsaicin", a compound found in various sprays. It's the same compound that radiates heat and effects in peppers. Thanks for sharing, love the GHB rundown.

[@hrdkorebp]

How would you keep it cold? And you’d have to constantly replace it

[@tenchraven]

If your commute is two day's walk under GOOD conditions, the difference between a BOB and GHB are your destination. :P One thing I love is a "morale patch" made of a reflective strip from the auto store stuck on velcro. Instantly removable, but passive signal so you dont get run over moving at night that lasts for decades. (Desert dweller problems)

[@MarineX]

[@renza481]

Good idea.

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

Great advice brother

[@pauljenkins6877]

I agree with this, although my BOB contains items (e.g. antibiotic creams in the first aid kit) that would not last if kept in a car, as a GHB due to heat.

[@narref04]

Although i mostly agree. I will say i have several slightly different bags. Under my desk is a day /active shootert/ get out pack. In my car is a get home bag (fully planning yo have to walk (post earthquske type when i was in the west coast)... but at home i have a 3 day pack, and a full on 7 day pavk with tent, sleeping bag, etc etc. The reality is that "Home is where Hatchett is" so 80% of the time... its about getting home. I do live in the east coast so always need a plan b post hurricane if the homestead is no longer there.

[@michaelhernandez410]

I have just put my summer bug-out bag back together after spending over a year of treatment for Cancer. I'm working on my winter bug-out bag, at present. I have a get-home bag in the trunk and finished my car-camping pack. Most of my camping lately is car-camping, since I have yet to recover full strength after Chemo. My sleeping bag and pad are kept in the car with a tent when car-camping so I only have necessary gear in the pack to keep the weight down. One thing that I recommend to everyone is a portable radio in all bug-out and get-home bags, along with power banks and cables, for obvious reasons. Hurricane Katrina taught me that a battery powered short-wave is a good idea, also. Most of the radio stations in New Orleans were knocked out during the hurricane, so several stations pooled resources and set up a 5,000 watt short-wave temporary station to get info to the public. This info reduced spread of disease and directed people to needed services and products.

[@maryspeight2840]

Just landed on your channel by accident and Damn, pretty amazing kit set up. I pretty much fall into the "get home" type catagory of equipment load out. Also I agree with the weight ratio of around 20 - 25 pounds because one of the biggest mistakes people make is not being able to acually carry their pack /ruck. Big thumbs up and new sub. Cheers !!

[@moonlander9012]

This channel has quickly become of one my favorites! Keep up the great work man!

[@edi9892]

Some really good ideas. My two cents on addition/changes: 1) depending on who and where you are, spare clothing and spare shoes can make a huge difference. In my case, I got in a work accident and my clothes got contaminated with a potentially cancerogenic chemical. I was so glad that I had something to change into (unlike most of my colleagues!). Now, if you're in business or fancy attire and need to get home and that involves walking through cold and rain, then a change of clothes would definitely be highly recommended. 2) Speaking of redundancies, I would recommend starting the BOB journey with the bare essentials and having those in a detachable bag. Think of a canteen bag with a knife, a fire kit, a compass, a light, and a few other items. The idea is, if you have to ditch your main bag, then you have at least the most important things still on you. 3) more for BOB than a get-home bag: cash, and a USB stick with your most important data (copies of documents, passwords, addresses, etc.) 4) I have a cheap and small collapsible lantern, which can be used either as a lantern or flashlight and has adjustable brightness, and can be recharged with its solar panel. It has proven surprisingly useful, even at home (using it as a spotlight), however, the main reason I bought it in the first place was that I can't do much when I have one hand occupied with a flashlight and even worse when it's so bright that the reflection blinds me... 5) Belonging to my EDC is a blue flame lighter. It's essentially a miniature blow torch and can ignite even moist material and is not sensitive to wind. I wouldn't rely on it, but it's sure useful.

[@eliasherrera5031]

Great video brother, I ordered the 4way key, whistle and map kit to add to my bag. Semper-Fi and stay safe out there.

[@arturoharvey9733]

For that tourniquet, it’s generally recommended you don’t have that Time Velcro strap securing the windlass when not in use. You’d have to open that strap to use the TQ anyways, which might be difficult with one hand (especially if that hand is injured or slick as it’s a small strap with strong Velcro)

This bag is amazing! You have a ton of stuff in there and everything fits so well! I'm a DFW Resident as well and I'm working to build out a "Get Home Bag". I love your redundancy and you have a few things in there that many of the others don't not in their bags (Most I think tend to be camping not urban - I feel yours can be more urban usage) Loved the 2 piece filter system. It was different than many I have been seeing.

[@wboardman]

Great video. Not sure what the conditions are where you are but I’m in Western Australia and the sun is intense. The bugs can also be annoying. I also have the following items in my GHB hat might be good additions to your bag: a hat; A small sunscreen; a small bug spray; a sachet of electrolytes I can add to a bottle of water; and small travel quick dry towel in case I get wet. I know you can use the handkerchief but it doesn’t absorb as well. WA is quite spread out and I don’t work close to home so it is highly likely I might have to walk 50km or 62miles with my GHB. I carry a bottle and a bladder as hydration is going to be extremely important for me. I know you mentioned you didn’t need the bladder.

Excellent vid and reviews, have most of the same gear. Currently swap out between Rush 12 and Vertx EDC ready pack for get home bag. Have looked at the Nitro and also All Hazards Prime. Most of my bags I tape off and spray the bottom with clear or black flex seal to keep them from wicking water in wet environment if I have to set them down for awhile. Definitely recommend silcock key in urban areas, most people surprised when I tell them about. The way to tell if you have a good compass, it says Suunto! 👍

I also pack a small day bag to move things into in case the trolley breaks...but should get me most of the way depending on road/off-road conditions.

On that Swiss Army Knife's toothpick... it's a great flame extender if you scrape it down with the blade. You can also cut it down to about half an inch, heat up a needle, and melt the needle into the plastic, and have a needle in the knife.

[@holeymcsockpuppet]

I'd keep a few more zip-ties...specifically a handful of long ones. I had someone recommend them. I actually use them so much I have to replace them in the GHB. You can lash stuff quickly, fix broken rings on the pack, use them as handcuffs. Also I would recommend the Stanley Fu-Bar as a demo tool. It has a crowbar, pry bar, and a curved dull "axe" blade which I sharpened. It's a larger, and tougher version of the little one you have on the pack. Amazon has generic axe covers you can fit to the blade if you sharpen it. It can replace the axe too if you sharpen the blade. But it's NOT made to be used as an axe. I have an axe for camping, but the GHB just has the modified Fu-Bar.

Watching this, comparing my own bag. My get home bag is also my everyday bag. I notice similarities, and differences, right off the top. My bag is similar, but not the same company. Outer is tourniquet and trauma shears in a small holster on the right side, with a full IFAK on the back by molle. My bag has the waist strap built in, though I never use it. Left side I have flashlight, lighter, batteries, and a few knick knacks. Right side is whatever I'm using through the day. Two pockets for the main part of the bag. Main I have Gorilla tape, a small book for writing, and a can of dip. Mostly use that for everyday use though. The front pouch I use for my oh sh$t utensils. Cold Steel SRK, HAM radio, knife sharpener, fully charged solar battery pack, mini Sawyer, red handkerchief, headlamp, etc. Two outer side pouches are a booboo kit, multitool on one side, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and those throwaway tooth flossers on the other. Need to add a pair of socks to my kit.

while it may not be necessary for a urban get home bag. if you ever need to make a fire, a small foldable saw would be good. i saw that you have those wire saws but i find them to be kinda crap and only really be good as a back up for a foldable saw. having the ability to saw some biger wood without using an axe would save some energy that would be needed for traveling.

[@jasongaudreau2075]

So I’ve been prepping for a couple years now. And I’ve tried to prep in all aspects. Like a 4wd truck lifted and set up to go where vehicles shouldn’t be able to go…and then used to camp and store items for “bug-out”. And then weapons etc for defense. But I couldn’t really get around the idea of leaving my house to search for a safe place to set up camp. My house IS my castle. It’s where I will stay…not bug out. Unless a military tank is rolling down my street flanked by foot soldiers kicking in doors and pulling triggers on any motion detected….I’m staying home. Even if that is happening…my best defensive position is home…where all my food, water, and medical supplies are. My truck is also loaded to the hilt with these items, but that is just extra from what I’ve stored at home. So, ya, I 100% agree….a “get home” setup makes the most sense. If I happen to be out and about when the shit goes down…my aim is to get home to my family and defend the fortress. Being from a 4 season weather area…I would try to bug out towards an area where I can comfortably sleep outside. I’m sure all the elderly in Florida will be fish in a barrel for whomever attacks. Leaving space for me.

Semper Fi from an old marine. USMC '69-'76 You might think of getting an LED head lamp with white/red light and usb rechargeable. I like the Nitecore NU-25. Ditch the flashlight.

You could do a review on what youd keep add or change and see what the weight differences is you could also add in pros/cons any shoe issues ect. I see a ton of loadouts but no one ever shows off how it would carry during a real event. Thats why we made this challenge. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2KZkouqod18kMU

The more a Marine rucks, the more he carries, not less. I don't know his MOS, but as a former 0341, a 50 pound ruck would have been an easy day.

@@USMC6976 i understand but for most those rucks were 10 years ago. (Not saying that the case for this guy) just tired of seeing loadout that no one carries.

@@titanpreparedness I started at 80 lbs. But that included almost 2 gallons of water and 7 lbs of gun and ammo. I then did a ruck that took me uphill 1,000 ft gain in elevation in 1 mile and then back down in rough terrain. I averaged about 1 mile an hour. I was 65. I'm 70 now. I still have about the same weight load. All you have to do is start rucking, it doesn't take long to build the strength back up. I have no doubt he can ruck 21 pounds. And he looks in better shape then I do. I would venture to say, he could actually put a lot more into it if he chose.
