MEDIUM BUDGET BUGOUT BAG BUILD - A PREPPERS GET HOME BAG. SURVIVAL SHTF - PREPARE NOW!

Nice video. I would change one thing. I would recommend a metal water bottle as you can freeze it or boil water in it. I live in northern Alaska and plastic is not great especially when super cold. Plus if you drop the bottle it can leak and create a bad situation. It happened to me and I made the switch to metal bottles after

[@fergusferguson4782]

Yair. I dropped a plastic bottle on a cold morning and it fractured.

[@OutdoorsWade]

Non-insulated aluminoum bottles are the best.

[@jksurvivalbushcraft]

A couple years ago I did the same type of video. I was amazed at the cost breakdown and what it ended up costing. If I remember correctly it was about $ 1,100. Which in today’s money would probably be $1,500. You did a great job putting together a kit for that amount of money! I don’t think most people understand the importance of having a premade bag made up. It serves multiple purposes. 1. All necessary gear in one place and ready. 2. Having one doesn’t mean you only use if you have to go. You can use your gear for everyday emergencies (power outages etc. 3. Building a bob is truly the first step in mentally preparing yourself for any emergency. It gets your mind thinking and analyzing your particular needs. And not just for shtf, but also for home bug in. 4. I like how you show you using your equipment… often overlooked but that is probably the number one criteria for a well set up bag.USE your equipment people!! I cannot emphasize that enough! It does not matter what you have if it doesn’t work correctly or fill the need you intend! I know you don’t need an analysis of your video and gear, my comment here is for others!! Great video😊

[@DeputatKaktus]

Nice video - well put together kit. And especially recommended for those with GAS. Puts some of the cost into perspective. That stuff gets expensive quickly. And even though angry ham radios operators love to hate them: those little Baofengs are a good value for money. Especially for emergencies. Are they great radios? No. Not by a long shot. You get what you pay for. Are they good enough? Definitely. With an upgraded antenna they are not half bad actually if you remain aware of their limitations. But you’re not going to put two $600 Yaesu or Icom units in your pack. If you lose or break or flood a $20 radio…big deal. If you lose 600 bucks worth of radio…that hurts. You can buy 20 Baofengs plus antenna upgrades and still come out cheaper than one of the top class radios. One aspect that often gets overlooked though is maintenance. Check the radio batteries regularly. You might not want to leave them in the devices when in storage. I have come back to dead batteries after having the radios stored for 3 months with a full charge. No bueno if you really need them. See if the food is still OK and not too much past expiry date. Sure, most food stuffs will still be edible but they won’t taste great if they are well past their date (I am talking 12 months + here, even though some items basically have infinite shelf life). Try to swap them out from time to time. Same for any meds you have in your kit. With all that said, I would only suggest two changes or additions to the kit. First, replace the plastic bottle with a metal one. Plastic tends to not fare too well in very cold climates as it can shatter on impact. Has happened to me. Also, you can put a metal bottle over a fire more easily than a plastic bottle. Two: a radio receiver like the XHData D-808. Allows you to monitor some radio communications and broadcast bands better than the Baofengs. If you want to go the extra mile, add an EFHW antenna to the kit. You can make those yourself with basically any old speaker wire you have laying around and maybe $10 worth of parts. Google / KZbin search term „DL2MAN UO1 EFHW Antenna“. If you are a licensed ham, you can push good amounts of wattage through there for a portable setup. The one I mentioned is good for multiple bands up to 80m. Just requires some nearby trees and some paracord.

[@matthewbrown6163]

I suggest people look at what they have at home before spending big $$$. I would suggest all those hotel goodies we souvenired as a great source - the mini soaps, the free coffees, teas & pens. From there you can add to your hygiene kit or more. Adding a few cotton ear buds can also be used as fire lighters.

I tell people don't buy cheap bucket bags. There's a lot of cheap bucket bags on the market. Those are the bags you don't want to buy. They look and appear to be strong. But when you're actually bugging out with it or you're carrying that with them for a long period of time, they're going to fall apart all the time too quickly so like you says and I agree with you spend the money and do it, right. That's what I say the first time.

[@my67falcon]

Just a few thoughts. Carry extra empty mylar bags. They weigh hardly anything and take up no room while giving you a storage source for filtered water, leftover food, or whatever. Carry silver. I have some old silver coins I carry if I need to buy or barter. Cash is always good if it's still being accepted, but silver (and gold) will always have a solid value. Carry a few of the smallest fishing hooks you can find. Very small bait fish are super easy to catch, but many hooks are too large for smaller mouths. A tube of Vaseline in your first aid kit

[@kevinboock7143]

Best outside the box add, vacuum sealed clothing. Suggestion: need WAAAY more cash. Enough to cover inflated hotel prices during a crisis, plus food and gas costs. Gallon jug of water is an honorable mention. Like $1,000 should cover 2-3 days for an emergency.

[@jaeboogie2786]

[@rtek777]

@19:13 a suggestion, instead of an MRE, I keep a pouch of SOS Emergency Food Ration by SOS Food Labs. It weighs a bit more, but takes up less volume inside the pack and can be eaten on the move without having to stop to prep/cook an MRE. If you're "bugging out", my philosophy is that I will want to keep moving to the destination I have pre-planned. Also that 24 hour ration you have, while being a good price, only has 2200 calories where an SOS pack has 3600. Just some food for thought.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

Yeah no-cook food is a plus. It’s also like to include 2-3 small containers of coconut oil. Lasts for years. Calorie dense. Helps ignite fires. Treats chapped lips and light scrapes.

Ive made atleastv10 bobs overvthe last 7-8 years for family members. I got better with each one. I read all the comments and gotta say, each person needs to build your bag to your needs.

It’s always such a personal preference/difference of opinion deal when it comes to what’s better or worse to have as a minimalistic survival kit. I think you hit many of the points. I specifically was impressed by your cook set system. Especially as you said for the money. I know it depends on how much money you are able or willing to spend on a get home bag but I do have a few recommendations. Starting with your bottle/water system. I always recommend a stainless steel/titanium bottle/canteen with a nesting cup. There is just every reason in the world to have a set like that, especially considering you have hot chocolate beverage mix in your cook set. It’s worth having the nesting cup for that. The other thing I really do recommend is a mosquito head net… due to a lack of warm shelter in your pack I’m assuming it’s a summer scenario that your prepping this kit for, your write.. a poncho is great shelter, but it won’t save you from bugs. Yea it’s considered a luxury item to some, but anyone who says that either lives in a place where there are are almost no can’t see’ums… or they are talking out of their ass on what they think will get them through… speaking or shelter.. that’s the last item… I know an effective shelter system is big and bulky and most people want to keep their bag minimum around the 25l size.. that’s all fine and dandy, but even summer conditions sometimes need more then just a poncho to keep over you… yes you have the bivy… I am so skeptical about those things actually doing what you need. I know they are very beloved by people for the weight and size… but do they work? I hear of people sweating In them which isn’t good, I hear they are sometimes not water proof or rain proof… when they are advertised to be.. exc exc… I don’t trust my life to those things. I’d rather have a sleeping bag and a sleeping mat, yea it’s extra weight and makes you look like a person who isn’t flying under the radar as far as someone who is “grey man” but I’d rather have the camping equipment that I know will keep me alive and just find ways to make it work instead of having something that usually is questionable and I need to survive regardless of where I am or what the circumstances are. That’s all I have to offer. Everything else is great. Keep up the good work man.

This is a good starter kit with a lot of good gear, I always learn something from your channel.

I have an inexpensive, but effective BOB to use in the beginning of SHTF. If it is removed from me and I survive, I have backups of better quality and durability cached. The first bag you put together is not wasted, so don't get rid of it when you upgrade. Have a decoy. If I lose it to someone who doesn't have gear, I won't cry over it as if it were really expensive stuff, and I know that person will benefit from it. I'll go to my next backup.

[@dutchvanderbilt9969]

I'd suggest swapping out the regular sharpy for a mini sharpie to cut back on weight. Also, when building a go bag make sure you think about how your EDC would function in conjunction with your go bag. For example if you already EDC a multi-tool and/or a fixed blade knife then you probably don't need to have a multi-tool or a fixed blade knife in your go bag since if you ever have to bug out you're more than likely going to have your multi-tool and/or your fixed blade knife on you. Not to mention it actually cuts down on weight in your pack which makes the thing easier and more comfortable to carry.

[@vihaanreyansh6244]

No notes from me. That's a really good bag. I particularly like the pack - tactical enough to be useful but not too military looking, and the wool blanket 👍. A lot of people have a sleeping bag stuffed into their bug out bags, if you leave a sleeping bag rolled up for too long it loses most of it's insulative value, wool blankets don't, they're always good to go. One thing I've been considering for some time is Orvewrap emergency blankets. These are fleece lined foil blankets, they're incredibly cheap, used in medicine for geriatric and post-operative patients, but allegedly they reflect 90% of the heat back towards the body, might be a worthy addition to any bug out bag.

[@Blueknight1960]

I've watched a few of these types of videos, not sure why but I did. The 1 thing none said to pack are hand warmers. They last around 8 hrs, very light and thin. If for some reason you had to bug out when it's been raining for the last week and it's fairly cold outside, chances of starting a fire are going to be slim because all the wood is going to be soaked and those little fire starters aren't going to cut it.

[@cardiacbob]

Those gloves with the Silicone/vinyl palms can be made even better by spraying the back of the glove (the knit part) with a waterproofing spray like Scotchgard or Kiwi camp dry (hell, spray the backpack also)! I do that with my yard gloves, and it really helps! I include $200 in each of my BOBs b/c you won't always be bugging out through the woods! well, esp. where I live. The kit has to be tuned to your area, right!? I like the fact that you have some quickly eaten snacks, and something substantial to give you some fats and proteins to keep your long-term energy up. And I would not suggest burying your trauma kit too deep in the backpack. Odds are you won't need it, but if you do, you don't wanna go digging for it, and you want someone else to find it easily if you're injured and can't communicate. One thing I carry (and have always carried) is a small bottle of hand sanitizer, for hygiene as well as a fire starter. Thanks for the video.

get home bag makes more sense than a bug out bag. It can double as both. A good pack bord and chest strap should be made if not already in place to allow for less stress on your back by transferring the weight of the gear from the spine to the chest and the shoulders. Can be done with chord, clips and any piece of plexglass cut to size layered with any soft material you have on hand. A college book bag won't look the part of a get home bag and could be dismissed by roaming eyes as nothing when it can mean everything to you.

You can really see that this b.o.b. is focused around wilderness survival. Very good to see that you've thought of communication, something many forget. To pull the bag a bit towards wilderness and urban, I would suggest a small crowbar, a camping-ax and one of those multi-keys for unlocking watertaps and so on. It will be some 2 or 3 pounds extra, but worth to consider. An extra suggestion: when picking your electronics like radio or lights, try to look for chargeability. Where or when there's no power, a medium small solar panel could be a lifesaver in more ways than one. Looking forward to your next inspiring video.

You're welcome! thanks for watching!

Functionality. Plus most people would go for the guy who looks like a hiker as an easy target first vs the guy who looks like he's in the military

[@vincentwesley6343]

Very well thought out pack.

[@idahoprepper]

Thank you very much, and thank you for watching!

Great Video man. Thanks! Always refreshing to have some ones take on this and see the follow on discussion. One thing I am trying to do with mine is find a small, thin, wool or fleece blanket that I can pair up with an emergency bivy or the poncho to be something like a ranger-roll (poncho & poncho liner). Have you tried a sleeping bag liner with the emergency bivy?

[@idahoprepper]

Thank you friend, Im glad you enjoyed it.. No I have not.. but ill look into it! thanks for watching!

[@ArmoredXJ]

@@idahoprepper cool! Let me know when you do!

[@leftyjoe4957]

For a BOB I prefer the MRE type meals. There is less prep, and no water needed to cook it.

[@pierreduplessis1507]

Saw on a vid the cowboy bed its made out of waxed canvas it would also be a great sleep system.

[@idahoprepper]

Yeah, I’ve seen those, they are really nice! Thanks for watching!

[@frederickharris4025]

Liked your bag. You might want to add a spoon and power bank.

[@BangBangBo]

For the money, why not get a 3-5 pound bag of rice and beans? Lasts a lonnngg time. Maybe have a small amount in MRE though.

I guess I missed the caffeine pills. Essential to any BOB or GHB. I am continually amazed at how many of these types of videos leave out that one single component.

[@bigbrother9531]

Does instant coffee count. I carry a couple in my bag.

[@thatguy2408]

@@bigbrother9531 it really depends on the situation. Are you able to stop and build a fire? Do you mind doing something detectable? Do you need to keep moving, etc. If you drink it cold I guess. Might not have a chance to stop and build fire. But I would still choose caffeine pills. They are better. Can take them on the fly. Just a better delivery system. Can chew for a quicker effect as well.

That tourniquet straps was really thin. The problem with thin straps is that you can cause tissue damage if used. And another question for that is do the straps really hold for the amount of “pressure” you need to put on it when you tighten it?

[@OnexMan1350]

i would go with sawyer squeeze

[@Anonymous-b3m]

Guess I missed it, but what was the total weight of that pack with everything in it? After 10 miles of hiking...is it gonna suck?

[@Soli_Deo_Gloria_.]

Good tutorial, thanks for sharing n' God bless

[@idahoprepper]

Thank you for watching! God bless you too!

[@BandGFun]

I have the exact same bag.

[@carsenwollis4756]

What bag is this looks awesome

[@rythmicwarrior]

A cotton bandana in your pocket and shemagh in your pack. A shemagh can do everything a cotton rag can do, but the opposite isn't true.
