[@BuggyDClown-pc7sc]

How you use the bug spray? In the desert you will be confronted with mosquitos at least 20hours a day. You spray it on yourself and let it dry or what? Cant see you travel 2kms with that thing, except you spray a small fog cloud around and then move on and are basically unprotected which you are so critizising

[@BuggyDClown-pc7sc]

The foot powder is such a good idea. I never thought about that. But im having issues with the electrolyte tabs you say. They will be damaged above 25 degrees (above 77 fahrenheit) as well as other drugs. How can you keep them cool in a desert with +40 degrees ( +104 fahrenheit) average temperature?

[@pwesley5854]

If I may make a suggestion. Especially considering I live in a desert environment also. Something I have found very useful in my EDC and bugout bags is honey packets. They never expire, provide useful energy and can be used for medicinal purposes also.

[@wastelandwarrior3297]

Great idea!!

[@aswaltan8962]

Thank you for good information

[@frankfitz3421]

👍😎 noted!

[@ms.annthrope415]

Good to know, thanks.

[@LisaTurner-d1b]

That honey in packets is not raw honey which is the only honey you can use for anti bacterial issues. Find a bee keeper and get their non pasteurized honey.

Best and most realistic video on youtube. Everyone else talks like it's the end of the world. The only video worth saving which I have.

[@lynnedunn4964]

This video is 2 years old.. but it is needed now more then ever. Thank you Fox 🦊. 😁 I am in AZ very close to the Colorado River...I am from S.Dak. Big difference I know from the Paha Sapa; the Black Hills...here now in the desert .. so I need all the education that I can get. Pillamaya...thank you. L.D Colorado River, AZ

[@JustOneMoreTaskMom]

Get above the dam and hope or help the bridges get blocked. That's pretty much applicable in any situation where "bugout" applies. Best to know where some mines or tunnels are near the lakes. If there is an armed conflict you can bet on the dams being hit, which will change the landscape a bit. California will have access to water cut more then likely or have to fight from the stretch between lake mohave and lake Havasu. Definitely an area that would present many unique challenges. Let's just hope it starts in winter lol.

[@Turin-Fett]

I had thought about creating a desert "bushcraft" series, since I don't happen to live in or near a forrest like 99.9% of youtube bushcrafters. Glad to see a desert dweller sharing his ideas. Also, I obviously appreciate the helmet.

[@JunkyardFox]

im glad this was helpful, theres not enough desert survival content.

[@dgunearthed7859]

​@JunkyardFox have u or are u aware of anyone who's made a descent desert get home bag?

[@LisaTurner-d1b]

Yea that is all you see are bushcraft videos where folks have forests, streams, many animals to hunt, and the ability to forage for many wild veggies and fruit. We have cacti, sand and caliche.

[@danmahoney8106]

Suggestions: Antibiotic cream, a telfa pad that will not adhere to the wound, moleskin for blisters, a blood stopper bandage/dressing for serious wounds, h2o2 to clean wounds, dressings that control bleeding with a hemostatic agent, instead of all the food I would consider lifeboat rations, are an easy on the go food source. The bouillon cubes are great for small game soups. Packaging these items in Zip loc bags for cleanliness and rain protection. A Doan’s bar which includes magnesium would assist in Fire starting. I’m no expert but I am an E.M.T. and a wound can put you down forever. My two cents. I like your hat.

[@JunkyardFox]

excellent suggestions. i definitely need to upgrade my first aid kit. thanks for the suggestions

[@s.leemccauley7302]

Yarrow extract is one of the best blood stoppers there is. A small bottle or packet of dried leaves and flowers of yarrow weigh next to nothing but can save a life.

[@laremyzaring8568]

In a pinch. Suger, honey, or super glue can also be used to seal wounds. Super glue as a last resort. It's hard to remove. Suger or honey for smaller wounds. Easy to rinse out. Honey has antibiotic properties and has been used for thousands of years to help wounds heal and seal. Clean the wound, apply honey, then cover with clean bandage. Repeat the process every 3 days until the wound is closed. Don't lick the wound! That's gross! 🤪

[@ricaneva3896]

A good deodorant is good for your feet so they won't get infected from walking also good for athlete's foot

[@westtexas806]

I second the suggestion. Nothing would suck worse than having everything and dying from an infected cut or bleeding to death when ya didn't have to.

A really important one from the recent bushfires in Australia is that you need a stash of actual cash. People were trying to purchase food and fuel to get home but communications were out, so no card transactions. Those with cash, won!

Thank you for sharing your very sensible approach to a bugout bag. Great video as usual!

[@Wingman115]

Solid kit. Bar of soap was a great idea to carry.

[@skittlemenow]

The thing about bug out bags is that everyone has different skill sets and environments to work with so no two will ever be alike. It's nice to see more people acknowledging that in these types of videos. I throw an empty fanny pack in my bug out gear, I figure you can always use more space in an emergency situation and you never know what you might find on your way to the undisclosed destination.

[@michaeltillman886]

The empty fanny pack is a good Idea, really good Idea!

[@phillipdavis4507]

I was born in the middle of last century, what us country boys used to do, is take wore out jeans, cut the leg off, tie off one end, and used the leg is a catch all, you know like marbles fishing gear anything else we can get in trouble with, keep that in mind that's a cheap way of having a container

So glad I found this channel. Most of the bushcraft videos I've seen help you dealing cold weather conditions in England or Canada or Norway or whatever, which doesn't really help me living in Texas. Finally there's someone in the desert. This is the way.

[@kathyallen7964]

Essential oils are good for bug repellant, anti bacterial, anti fungal. Lavender is helpful on bites. It pulls poison out. May even help on rattlesnake bite. Smells good too! Thanks for the video. Learning about the desert and you're helping!

[@charoverturf7750]

Love the practical well-thought out process! You're the first person I've heard talk about TWEEZERS! If I'm hiking the Desert, the bare minimum I may have on me, is a sturdy stick, pocket knife, Tweezers & H2O. Obviously, a "local" day hike. I walk barefoot everywhere. Usually I can just scrape the prickeries off the bottom of my foot, or sometimes have to resort to the Tweezers. The eyebrow plucking tweezers close tightly, providing a greater chance at success. Thank you for all that you so generously share with us! I always enjoy learning new skills & tips.

[@mariaviggiano7136]

I like it!!! I see you have many thing that you use for skin aid… weather it’s bug spray or lotion or chap stick or first aid stuff for bug bites or toxic poking things. I’m not sure of your home made medical skills, but I sell two salves that I could totally show you how to make that would take about 5 things out of that bag. Plantain/Yarrow/ Comfrey salve and a Drawing salve. I use them very often as I live completely off grid. I learned the drawing salve from an Amish family down the road and recently used it on a brown recluse bite I got wile chopping wood this season. I really love your “show” (I live off grid, so this is my TV) I have learned a lot from you so far and look forward to your other videos I have been binging on with my son.

[@cheers2023]

You should start a channel! I'm interested in the salves you make.

[@cardiacbob]

Went to HS (Mountain View) and College (ASU) in Phoenix, so spent a fair share of time camping in the Desert. It can get cold at night! Also, when I was supporting OIF in Kuwait, it would get to 130-140 degrees during the day, and drop to 90 degrees at night. We would get chilly at 90 degrees! LOL. I learned about the rat traps camping in the desert. I take them with me. I've caught rabbit and lizards in them!

[@rica967]

One of the best survival videos I have seen

[@JesusGarcia-kt2hj]

Thanks!

[@leojoseph6385]

Great Bug Out kit for desert! I like that you set it up so it could support a longer period beyond 72 hours. .22 LR is also a great choice for so many reasons. Adding a Shamagh would round out your desert kit nicely! And definitely keep the Scout Kit! Just start wearing it to improve or establish your EDC habits, and that way all your eggs won't be in one basket!

[@rhllnm]

My next gun I think. I used to love those .22/.410 over unders, but this is probably more sensible.

[@cassanoa]

hi friend - the little shovel is a great idea but you know what works better ? a brick layers trowel - there are many sizes - i picked one that could be easily transported - made a leather sheath and let me tell you - it digs like a devil - has no moving parts - you can use the whole blade to level off uneven ground or undercut any plants you want to dig up without your hand scraping the dirt - i plan to give the blade a bit of a cutting edge so it can be a extra double edged blade if necessary to cut roots - just a suggestion but they are great little and versatile tools that are perfect for handling dirt - the best part is that its a one piece tool so no moving parts - built tough for construction - excellent diggers - think about it - you may agree

[@JunkyardFox]

excellent suggestion

[@richardelliott9511]

Only recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying your well presented expertise. As an exsmoker I am well acquainted with the idiosyncrasies of Bic lighters. Always carry two and keep them in seperate places. There is nothing more disheartening than going to flic your Bic and the "flint" going flying or you have a freak fall and the liter takes a hit on a sharp rock and cracks. It may sound unlikely but it happened. Also in cold weather keep your bic warm in an inside pocket. If you forget and it gets too cold for it to function, just a few seconds in your arm pit will get it working again. Living in the high humidity of the east coast where steel will rust in the blink of an eye and with the evolution of stainless steels, one of my pet peeves is why anyone would even consider carrying a knife that wasn't stainless. Thanks

Being from El Paso, I can appreciate this video!

[@markmaynard3884]

I used a hollow fiber membrane water filter for six months straight. It provided my water on a day-to-day basis. I did see people get sick, but those were people who got sloppy with their handling of the filter. As in didn’t pay attention to the fact that they contaminated the clean end of the filter. This is especially important in cattle tanks.

[@mikerenner8770]

James, Good Video, Great Info. Also, thanks for calling out the fringe preppers with their 5 guns and 7 knives.

[@longrider42]

Not bad, I used to teach wilderness survival too Boy Scouts back in the early 80's, so here are a few things I suggest. For a light weight tarp, a GI poncho, get two. Use one for shelter, and one as a ground cover for your blanket. You have a small shovel, very good. I carry a small shovel from Cold Steel. A folding saw, I suggest the Folding Pocket saw made by Stanley, very usefull and can carry extra blades. Coffee Filters, you can use them to filter water before you add the bleach. As TP when you have to go, and as fire starter. Speaking of Fire starter, cotton balls soaked in Vaseline Petroleum jelly, will burn for up to three minutes and easy too start. I like your choice of knife. I also carry a tomahawk. The Riflemen's hawk from Cold Steel, it has a nice chopping edge and a hammer. So two tools in one, and very good for self defense. Your first aid kit is very good. As for water, I live in the high and dry of Wyoming so I generally carry at least 80oz of water just for a day hike. If I had to leave my house I'd add as much as I could carry. I was going too suggest rat traps, but you already know. All in all well thought out and planned. Your pack sure rides low, no waist band? As for a shooter. I have a Ruger 10/22, and a 20 gauge shotgun. Good enough.

[@guadalupeskitchen3734]

I also keep a mini survival kit like yours that I carry in all my packs. Sometimes I just take it with me. It's just a good idea brother.

[@JReed305]

I have done survival weekends in the desert. I would add 6' of surgical tubing and a clear plastic drop cloth. In the event your water source has dried up you can make a solar still to get water out of damp sand in dry washes.

[@louiseswart1315]

That woolen blanket would also be good shelter from the scorching sun when injured in the open.

[@Jonnalelo]

From a little old lady who lives on the edge of the desert-kudos! I thought I was the only one who added gold bond powder-dry feet, etc-super important. Always cracks me up when I see a bug out bag with only 2 imodium- not enough folks. Also plenty of benadryl not just 2 tabs .Nail clippers and that work on toenails and moleskin for blisters invaluable for foot care. Love your set up- I keep a wide brimmed hat that rolls up in my bag. I need to add sunglasses and eye drops.

[@jaimeleondelaparra3877]

"Now go outside and get your boots dirty." Awww... There it is... Great load-out, brother. You got it pretty well dialed in, especially with those meds. And keep that scout bug-out bag! I always recommend different levels of survival kits dispersed accordingly in the event of losing things; the pack, a smaller belt survival pouch, and some bare essentials that can be carried in clothing pockets and on your body.

[@JunkyardFox]

You got that right! thanks for stopping by, my friend!

Hi James, just found your channel. I know this post was 2 years ago so if my comments are out of date please excuse. All your tips are on point. I have always worked on emergency preparedness but now taking to new level with bushcraft. I have followed couple other bushcraft/survivor but their in the woods or forest area. Great tips but I live in high desert of Southern California and need knowledge like you are showing. One fellow in Australia has a bug out bag but attached is a day bag. So if he is going couple hours or scouting he takes the day pack which has essentials that completes big bag. Anyway, thanks much for displaying your knowledge of the desert. And if someone is going to have a bug out bag, practice with it. Walk around the block, go to the park and have lunch with it, get used to carting it then can be more efficient with it. Practice.

Great kit and really well considered! I watched this in two stages so may have missed it but a small pair of binoculars or a scope could be really handy in your location for planning routes rather than expending unnecessary energy. Really great video! Thanks again!

[@CosmicJhana]

Awesome and fun video! Super intelligent approach to disaster preparedness with the items included in your bugout bag. Like you talked about at the beginning, editing items from your bag is just as important as the items you ultimately decide to carry. There’s a relationship between carry weight, exertion, and either’s effect on water consumption that has to be appropriately balanced to maximize the bugout bag’s utility. Given that, the smaller, spare bag with additional items is an effective way to leave the rest of the bag behind to scout, or gather supplies, food, etc,. One way to lighten the load could be to avoid duplication of items, but still bring that pack along (packed or empty) so you can stash the rest of your bugout bag somewhere to forage ahead on short trips, or in some cases, go on entirely with a smaller bag of essentials.

Good job james. Solid kit, the only thing i would add is even though you may not be able to pioneer with your compass it is still a needed item. Did a ton of deer hunting in the vast northwoods where you can’t see far with huge tamarack and cedar swamps where the only critical issue was knowing north. My escape plan was entry direction and retract bearing. Still priceless to have and they weight nothing. Did’nt see any real weaknesses in your kit. The desert gets miserable cold at night even in summer and i might add a bivy to keep the critters off my person. Thanks !

[@JunkyardFox]

true, i hope to take a class to use a compass soon as all this covid stuff is over with. might test out a bivvy though it might be too thin for this harsh environment

[@swampdonkeyoffgrid190]

I have a bug in box at home. If the power is out or something I have a weeks supply of stuff in the box. I use it for camping trips. I have my deer hunting backpack already set up if I needed to "bug out" which I doubt will ever happen. One thing I noticed was that people tend to freeze stuff rather than can stuff like when I was growing up. We had two large gardens each where half the size of a football field, plus we got wind fall apples from someone. Every other year we would raise a hundred chickens and butcher them and can them. I can remember filling up a kiddie pool full of water and brushing the cucumbers before turning them into pickles. About the only thing we didn't can were raspberries and watermelon.

Great video James. Definitely agree with the points and how unpractical most bugout bags videos are. That's why I turn to your channel because it's practical knowledge not some fantasy stuff. Keep putting out great content man it's great!

[@JunkyardFox]

I appreciate that! glad you enjoy our content! stay safe!

Nice bag. You make a lot of great points. I like the kit within a kit idea. In a rip and run situation I would want the small bag either at the top of or on the outside of the main bag.

[@JunkyardFox]

Thanks for watching! right on! when the bugout situation arises, i would remove items from the bag to add to my body like the scout pack, the fixed blade, flashlight and hand shovel.

Hey, JF--desert here too. Might make sense to toss in a few bandaids into your smaller "last ditch" grab and go pack. The better quality fabric ones, just to have for cuts and blisters and like that. Its a good lookin' system you got going there!

[@JunkyardFox]

You have a great mind. 😎🙌🏼

[@esthermarygold-lowe4403]

Omg. Love the helmet. I laughed so hard

[@michaeltillman886]

What's up, Dude? First time I've checked out your video. It had really good and useful content. When I seen the helmet, I almost turned to something else; I'm like "here we go." But I'm glad I stuck around. Like I said "Good video", it was very informative. Peace!

I use a golf umbrella, protection from sun when there is no shade available. Get the uv protection umbrella. In the Arizona summer, you can feel the heat radiating from a light duty umbrella.

Thank you, you reminded me of a couple of things I needed to add to my pack. I think there's one thing that you might want to add and that would be goggles because of all the sand blowing and small glass you said blows around. Just a thought but you knowing what to do in the desert is a plus for you and if I got caught in the desert I know survival and I know a few things in the desert I can eat but besides that I would probably perish but it wouldn't be because I didn't try. Thanks James. In a previous video I had said I might be out that way. Always at land surveyor and I definitely know how to use a compass and map so should we happen to meet if you haven't already learned it I can certainly give you some great pointers. Just a thought

Oh yeah, good humor!
