My Wife's Get Home Bag/Bug Out Bag

[@wcwright44]

Nice to see a lady’s bag. I’m much older than you two so my bag has evolved to fit my needs. Great video, Thanks! Had to add....I’m a female, Vietnam era vet.

[@melaniexoxo]

Thank you for your service!

welcome home

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Nice to see a woman's version of this kit. I Teach both men and women and one always needs to remember that every kit needs to be customized to the individual. Thanks for putting this up!

[@wcwright44]

Ochoco Bushcraft -So true. I love bag videos because they’ve helped me fix “holes” in my prep.

[@md65000]

Don't forget to throw a few cotton cigars in there for your wife. I got some major points for thinking of that when I put my wife's car bag together!! LOL

[@Carlos-Dangerous]

Thinking of making a few batches of hardtack to have some long term food to keep for ghb/bob loadouts and to have on hand for shtf patrols.

[@my23glock]

Good job reviewing your wife’s products. Thank you for the green laser pointer. Much easier to see visually. Thanks for the educational videos you continue to crank out. Nice!

[@thomasbrandon5111]

Nice set up for your wife. Like you I set my wife's up minimal and lite.

[@jaybarr3307]

Saved this to reference when I go back to my wife's bag. I think you've got one of the better thought-out bags I've seen and you've avoided "gadget-syndrome" well. Most don't focus on the basics: water, food, shelter, then everything else. I do think a multitool makes sense for this bag, recommend a Leatherman Juice to keep the weight down. Maybe a bit more cordage as that looks rather light, but really, just a superbly done bag. Many could learn from this one, including me.

[@LandseerNorth]

Good points. At 65 years and 145#, I'm not carrying as much as I used to when I was in the Marines. Imagine that.

[@pattijack]

Smart about the tea light candles. Would have never thought about that!

[@acumark66]

I put a small umbrella in all my bags. It helps keep sun as well as rain off you.

[@NewHampshireJack]

Well done, your selection of gear covers needs, not wants and is light in weight, easy to carry. Your thoughtfulness will be appreciated by Wife for sure. I pack a small box of tampons for several reasons. I could be a hero to a "damsel in distress." You also have a nice little pre-filter for cloudy water and some additional fire stating material. When another guy questions why I do this, my simple answer is, these things could be a "blow-out patch" for a deep wound.

[@ivanmendoza2704]

Needs a Map/compass and a Baofeng UV-5 R which might add 10 oz and your good to go.

[@titanpreparedness]

While i do t agree with everything i think its a very nice kit for a wife. Very smart to use a hiking pack vs some tactical bag

[@jaycupples4362]

Great video on women’s GHB not enough on this topic

[@tlock4616]

Love bag videos. I actually was wanting some other opinions on a get home bag for my wife. She's a small framed lightweight too. Looks like we have the same ideas on what to pack for our ladies. Thanks for the video!

[@marvinbrock960]

Tip: Anything thats “Life sustaining” put a lanyard on it and have it ready to be worn immediately and never leave your body. IE.. Sawyer water filter, multi tool, lighter, flashlight, knife, whistle, etc. that way it can’t be left behind, and it’s kept warm.. ie water filter so it doesn’t freeze. Also spend the money for good socks!! Last, being a woman, anything that keeps her motivated. (Sweets, caffeine, extra warm layer as in an ultra compact layering jacket. Addendum: Being worn doesn’t necessarily mean around the neck, attached inside jacket pockets or to belt loops work as well. Lol… I keep looking at your stuff…. Last suggestion… make sure all batteries are lithium, they do not leak, ruining your equipment. Their also lighter and have a long shelf life. I didn’t see a map/navigation aids or self defense tools if needed… gun, bear spray, etc. I know I said a lot, I apologize, being for a woman/wife/mother/daughter, I really stress about their comfort/ safety. 🇺🇸

[@kaostheory2940]

The bag looks great the contents is great personally I would add one more trash bag and some tinfoil to use as a wind block for your candles or preparing food

[@marko11kram]

A solid, no nonsense GHB!

[@Cgny]

Every vid I watch of yours I’m like damn I need to step my game up!!! But recent events have proven that my preparedness level is better than average. And I’m working on getting my fiancé to develop the proper mind set as well and by that I mean I’m putting together everything for her lol

[@ShadowScoutSwede]

Great video and she has really good stuff in her bag .Well you are right that you need to customize your bag after your own preferences someone said once what works for you dosen´t mean that it works for me .

[@williammccaslin8527]

Thx for the vid and ideas.

[@lgwjrwhite588]

Well done vid thanks for shareing

[@robmillle]

Really good, no BS kit

[@amberwiley822]

What model is the Osprey backpack?

[@PreparedAirman]

It a osprey mira 34

[@lgwjrwhite588]

Wheres the wagon to carry it lolol

[@julianag8936]

Yess! I was the one asking for this in every video 😂

[@Cameroon110]

Good video as always brother stay safe out there

[@robertevans8126]

[@becauseitscurrentyear8397]

if your looking for better weight i would replace the canteen and cup and filter with a Katadyn BeFree and TOAKS Titanium pot, recommend replacing the "change of clothes" with a base layer. replace flashlight and glowsticks with headlamp and batteries. replace mre with trail mix/peanutbutter. select 1 bivy (prefer escape style) change the "cap" to a balaclava. and change the backpack bladdar for a Platypus Platy Bottle. and find a multi purpose item to use as a flag. this may be enough weight to include a sleeping pad.

[@MrDosonhai]

As the rate things are going, you should prepare a refugee bag instead.

[@kkpoo23]

As a smoker ditch the cheap lighters and buy bics.. they last forever

[@tacbear]

Damn Dude you are me....only you are about 30 years younger!....My wifes bag is even a Osprey AG!!!.........Defenders Forever.......USAF Security Police do it with Controlled Entry!!1

[@stevog44]

I’m sure you have already checked but with your wife being small in stature like my girlfriend it may be a good idea to make sure that cat tq tensions down small enough for her arms.

[@PreparedAirman]

We personally use a RAT (which alot of folks hate on) for the kids and SOF-T wide for us but CAT TQ are good aswell.

[@stevog44]

@@PreparedAirman yes sir. I have several of each. 👊🏻🇺🇸

[@josephrogers8213]

Throw it on a scale. Not just now but most videos

[@tedsemonis7905]

Weight is a factor, getting stuck is another. For a day hike plan for 2 full days, 3 days plan for 5. clothes should be frumpy, leggings and botty shorts are for around the house. Any clothing that MELTS should stay away from fire mile or so. Think the worse than plan for it, animal attack, fire, medical where one can't move (go for help/leaving the other) carry someone out and how, oh yea that piece of junk that you rely on is broken, lost, no bars.

[@lgwjrwhite588]

Just kidding

[@D2G10]

This set has *ZERO* redundancy for core elements such as knife, flashlight etc. also you have no antibiotics. This is not a bag I want to have in emergency. Better than nothing but nah... Also that mylar bivy is a terrible place to be in any situation. It's condensates in the mater of minutes.

[@PreparedAirman]

The bag is very different now. The video is over 4 years old. Can't say I've ever seen any antibiotics in a get home bag. But I guess if you can afford to change them out every couple of months, then send it.

[@D2G10]

@@PreparedAirman if you don't agree with this setup anymore why don't you take down the video to avoid confusion

[@PreparedAirman]

@xuSebuTuoY Just because it's different doesn't mean it's irrelevant. This isn't meant to be copied but to generate ideas for others interested in the topic.

[@D2G10]

@@PreparedAirman yeah that is a demagogy. You just want views that's all. oh well you do you.

[@PreparedAirman]

You watch 1 four year old video of my 300+ and you are telling me why I'm doing things and what I want? Sure..lol

[@frankblack5931]

I find it hard to believe that a woman had anything to do with putting this kit together.

[@PreparedAirman]

You'd be surprised. Many of my subscribers are female that have a prep based mindset.

[@mimiinthewild9012]

I'm a single woman and I put my own bag together. I even included more things than this bag like a gun, multi-tool, crow bar, and a bigger knife. You'd be surprised at the number of women interested in the topic of survival. We are out there.
