Get Home Bag | MAJOR UPDATE

For the longest time, John packed a load out bag's worth of stuff just in case the sky started falling. Now, it just seems impractical and unnecessary... even if everything went post-apocalyptic. Preppers, go ahead and sound off in the comments with all the things he's missing with his bag. There are several options for get home bags - backpacks, duffel bags, sling packs. Knowing what's right for you is what matters. Filling it with things you actually need is the trick.

Prepping really involves a ton of different areas. There are those that major on survivalism skills, others on farming, others on renewable energy, and still others focus on security. Really, true preparation is a cultivation of skills, a building of a community, storing of resources, and perhaps the most important of all, the ability to defend it all. The people with the guns get to take whatever they want from whoever they want, and can you guess what the only way to stop them is? John Lovell is not the go-to source for survivalism skills or food storage, but is an excellent resource for preparation in general and security in particular. Enjoy the video and we hope you glean something helpful!

Medical kit is on my ankle (see my truck setup video which just released which is the prequel to this video. Also, the idea is in a bailout, I would grab common use items from my EDC bag and staged stuff in my vehicle. You saw in the intro, I loaded up my rifle, helmet, and night vision. Not shown would have been adding an additional medical kit, and my cell phone battery pack for more charging. Thanks for the additional recommendations outside of this stuff!

Me "bug out bag," get home bag, and EDC bag are the same. It's got 72 hours of food, 8 liters of water, and necessities. If I had to disappear and it took me 3 days to get where I'm going I'll be fine. If the Russian Paratroopers are landing in the local park then I can grab the cool toys out of the truck and be online foe 3 days. If a tornado takes out the trailer park then I can live in my truck for 3 days before going to my parents. It's a simple thing that's ready for most situations, I never understood the need for 20 different bags for 12 possible situations.

True story. I got orders to report to a ship in Japan with less than 24 hours notice. I bought a hand cart and put everything I owned into three duffle bags. Each one weighted a ton. That had cart didn't even finish making the journey. It fell apart from all the weight. I had to throw on duffle over my shoulder and carry one in each hand. I report to the ship in the middle of the night and I'm trying to navigate the narrow corridors and ladder wells with all three bags at once. I was about ready to drop by the time I reached my birthing quarters. Never again. I learned my lesson. When I reported to my next duty station after that ship. I mailed most of my gear to the next command. I made it a point to travel with just a carry on and one light duffle bag which consisted of bare minimum uniforms. Just enough to get me through until I could get the rest of my personal items in the mail.

I would ditch the fishing kit. Although it is cool. It doesn’t make sense to stop and fish when you’re trying to get home. You had the mountain houses to eat. So you’re good on food. Maybe add candy or trail mix. Some kind of snack you can eat while on the go. Also I would add cash in small bills. This way if stores are open but can’t take credit cards for some reason you can still buy gas/snacks/water or batteries. And standardize your kit so that you use 1 type of battery. Mine are set to only use AA batteries. It was a pain to find a headlamp that used AA but it was worth it. So everything I need a battery for is interchangeable. And if I need to buy batteries I can just grab 1 type and not think well this uses AA and the other thing uses AAA. Which do I need more.

[@dw7284]

[@bradsimpson8724]

Agreed. If the bag has the mission of "Get Me Home", I can't think of a context where I'd be stopping to fish. Some Mountain House chow, some trail mix, and something to appease my sweet tooth should see me through. Because it can be a pain to standardize to a certain battery type(especially once you start adding more specialized gear like night vision and IR illuminators), I'd use the space saved for some extra batteries.

[@sissydreams7494]

I'm a HUGE fan of John and The Warrior Poet Society; however, I just can't get behind this video and loadout. The pack is large, uncomfortable and the heft of it would draw loads of attention. I know weapons are HUGELY subjective, but carrying a full-on AR for a 72 hour bag seems a bit much. Certainly exposing it in less than SHTF situations, especially while moving solo, would seem to be a real risk. Additionally, without really meaning to be nit-picky, why would you ever need some of this stuff for a 72 hour slog to get home? A fishing kit? Really? Focus on spending every minute on the move. No fires. Easy to prepare food or just bars for calories. Use a shelter/sleep system that sets up quick and tears down quick. Minimize weight as much as humanly possible. Move fast, get home fast. John knows far more than me and I mean NO DISRESPECT. I just don't get the logic of this system. Me, personally, I'd look at thru-hiker gear lists (ultra minimal and extremely low weight) and add the absolute 3-day urban necessities to that. Plus, an easily concealable weapons system, of course. Perhaps we could see an actual test of John's system in the field? How about a weekend using this gear (or an upgrade of his choice), to see how it works? Please take this as a CONSTRUCTIVE comment.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

Blessed to be on the Texas coast there are only about three days a year that I have to worry about building a fire and staying warm. I have fire tools but more for destructive purposes if need be. I am packed for the unlikely event that I have to abandon my vehicle and fight and claw my way home. How long could it take me under the worst circumstances, from the farthest point I usually travel. I don't see myself stopping to make a hot meal or a cup of JOE. I pack high energy food even if it's just candy but everything has to be stable for the environment being stored in a hot truck. So I get to eliminate allot of the culinary stuff. The trade is tools. A 10 inch prybar will open allot of doors. I can run for three days on Jolly Ranchers and energy drinks till I get home. I do have a container to collect, purify, store and carry water after the water kept in the bag is used. My goal is 72 hours. If I can't get home in three days I'm not doing it right. I am packed for a very specific task E&E. God Bless you and keep fighting the good fight.

Everyone always talks about the "stuff" to pack in their bag. No one, seems, to talk about packing "space" into the bag; for those moments you find you to need pick up and carry something found in your journey. No matter the size of the bag, we have this innate sense to fill it.

For a get home bag, I'd perhaps consider some compact binoculars - it's good to see "things" before they see you. Thanks again for the work you're doing sir. Again Happy Easter and stay well.

Don't believe that jargon that two is one and one is none. None is none, pure and simple. Like that phrase about the news, "no news is good news." No it isn't. It's just no news. Neither good or otherwise. But let that go.. my point is simply, that's a lot of stuff. I'm down to a good triple gortex shell, an umbrella, and whatever my normal EDC happens to be, which in and of itself is quite a lot when you break it all down. Anyway, thumbs up.
