Nutnfancy Bug Out Kits Pt 1 Principles of BOK

You have 5 minutes warning to leave your house, grab everything you need to survive for 2 weeks. Could you do it? I doubt it! That's why I made the Nutnfancy Bug Out videos, to help organize your preparation. The result of your efforts will be an assigned "BOK" to every individual in your family. My Bug Out Kit build goes beyond a simple and usually inadequate "72 hr Kit," especially the crap ones you buy. It's a self-contained living system that is primarily wheeled to its use location, having food, shelter, weapons, FAK, tools, toiletries, and more. Building a kit that's high quality is going to cost over $1000 but it will be there for you forever, only needing occasional "overhauls. It will provide high peace of mind for upcoming WROL, sudden economic collapse, earthquake, tornado, volcanic, and hurricane events.
Here I'll attempt to set down some key philosophy and considerations of the Bug Out Kit and bugging out in general; they steer the contents in other parts (see below). For instance you should be reticent leaving your place of residence in the first place and I discuss the realities of bugging out, dispelling some KZbin and forum nonsense on the subject.
Part 1 is the all important Philosophy of "bugging out." Part 2 will show you my current choice for a BOK container; Part 3 will show you the contents. I stress in the subsequent parts that each kit is tailored to each family's situation/locations and each person's needs. For instance, I am now downsizing Mrs Nutnfancy's kit (overhaul). It will be smaller with less comfort items but them's the breaks. She can't haul anymore. You'll see how you too will have to make some real SAWC decisions to achieve the best capabilities that can fit into your man-portable TNP-style BOK system!

FROM TNP PATREON J Wolf: Another great video Nutn, it is important for everyone to consider how prepared they are for having to GTFO. Your other videos on the subject have def influenced by current go bag, and I’m sure this series will encourage more thought and adjustment. Keep up the great work, you have the audience you do because you always keep it real.

[@nutnfancy]

Great to see you in comments J Wolf and you're welcome. I will say in Part 2 the BOK, or for that matter my USK too, is never finished. You'll always learn and modify it from time to time. But you can get pretty close with this series of videos I think and it might save you some time. -NUTNFANCY

[@beefsupreme839]

nutnfancy bugging in may be the best option for a lot of us...🤔

[@pischinger2426]

Can you take a look at a G-Shock GD-100?

[@notjeb9889]

nutnfancy Took the kids out to the desert shooting first thing this morning DPMS lr308 G36 500 yards YEE haw Got our truck stuck as it gets in the mud on the way in. Had to hike in to shoot. Had to hi lift and shovel to get out. Be aware of being stuck in the mud Greetings from the Uintah Basin

[@calholli]

When are you gonna do a big week long trip with 20 of us surviving in the wild testing all our gear? Lets get some testing overload going on..... Plus it would be an interesting social dynamic to see just how well survival types do in groups with unknown people. That would be a super, out of the box video that isn't anywhere on the Tubes. conflicting philosophies and all.

[@bucki58]

I’ve trained my 4 domestic house cats to hunt as a pack. They take down rabbits and squirrels better than I could ever dream. Very stealth in an SHTF.

[@Theflyestfisherman]

i wish this was real friggin hate cats

[@dustbustr91]

i trained my turtle to filter water for me

[@theshapeexists]

You think you trained your cats to hunt? Thats cute. Did you teach grizzlies how to catch salmon? Did you teach hyenas too? Or maybe they taught themselves and passed it down genetically. Cats are bron to hunt and kill in teams or solo

[@mickmacy6161]

Cat Force multipliers. Navy Seals? Space Force Cats. Our Tactical Director for our team is a tabby named Fluffy.

[@thegeth4293]

Nutn "this knife is 2 ounces too heavy" fancy. Breaking out a massive wheeled bag.

[@wvmountaineer69]

lol true

[@adventureinc517]

@FPS JiveTurkey I'll agree in part. Yes for the knowledge and skills but... redundancy... and one need not make things harder or less comfortable than they have to be. Soooo... a combo of both. Get the naturalist solo-survival skills 'just in case', but get the BOK option sorted too so that if you can have things a little easier, you are enabled indeed. The BOK could be what saves you in a scenario where wild natural sources of food and water are not readily available like saaay out in the hottest of dry, mountainous desert or maybe floating on a life raft out on the ocean, or in northern Alaska, polar-Canada, Siberia... Depends... Sometimes having stuff is a necessity.

[@nmende00]

You make him sound like a hypocrite. What he means is that you have to prioritize what you pack because the heavier your pack the more water and food you will need and the longer it will take you to arrive at your destination. If you can save 2oz on every tool in your bag that could mean an extra 32 oz of more water you could be carrying.

[@toddinfl]

In a video long long ago you said... "If you laugh about the ounces, you'll cry about the pounds." So relevant in bug out philosophy.

[@PhilosoraptorXJ]

I really think the prepper/survivalist community can really learn from thru hikers and section hikers on this. I'm not advocating carrying cuben fiber packs, but I've seen dudes carrying three different kinds of knives, in addition to their EDC. And then carry heavy MREs in the original packaging they bought eight years ago.

[@Theflyestfisherman]

i heard him say that quote when i found this channel in 2012 ive never forgotten that quote. its so true

[@mattv2099]

This takes me back to 2011 when I discovered nutnfancy. love this type of content.

[@gunner4373]

I'm currently bugged out. Had to grab and go. Second time in 2 years, last time I was in this Suburban for a month. Your videos have always been crucial to my gear selections and I've definitely had to evolve my equipment. An initial kit will always have week spots because situations will change, sometimes rapidly. Thanks for the vid

[@nutnfancy]

Andrew Haley 15 hours ago I really like that you stressed the point of not having run and gun shootouts. I live in a very rural area, and that point comes up a lot. I believe the same way you do, I don't see that happening. I have always believed rimfire is the way to go, especially after watching the ruger American 22wmr vid. I don't see having to bug out, but we are prepared for anything. Thanks for awesome talking points, really can't wait for the next chapter.

[@xenonram]

.22 mag is not much more powerful than .22 LR or .22 WRF. I wish someone would make a survival rifle with either swappable barrel liners (one in the barrel and one on the underside like a musket's ram rod), or a rotatable situation. So you could go with a much better cartridge, like 5.7x28 mm, .22 spitfire, .22 TCM, .22 hornet, or even .17 HMR, or .17 hornet, but also be able to shoot the much more common .22 LR when your couple thousand rounds of one those other calibers runs out. They're mostly all WAY more powerful than .22 WMR/mag or .22 LR, or at least significantly more powerful.

[@tylerbuchholz3234]

Chiappa has the M6 survival gun and they have some inserts that go into the shotgun barrel and allow you to shoot some different calibers. Last I looked, they didn't have any exotic liners but they had common ones.

[@Snado]

22 rimfire cartridges are nice for their usage, but the only thing of concern that should be looked at is something called critical failure rate. Please look into the recorded shootings along with that to make a informed decision before choosing a rimfire as a defensive weapon

[@goldcfi7103]

"Don't put your value system into possessions." This is the best advice, with or without rule of law...

[@leftcoastoverland8750]

Nutn, I remeber in the early days of TNP when you challenged the viewers to better our lives, and learn how to fly. Well! Challenge accepted! 10 years later I'm commercially flying helicopters! Thanks for motivating us to do great things 👍🏻👍🏻

[@nutnfancy]

FROM TNP PATREON Kevin Hillstrom: I would honestly be a bit of a mess. I'd grab my rifle, pistol, vest, belt, my prepacked hiking pack. But food and water would be a scramble. Fact is it would take me probably >30 minutes. Thanks for the push to up my game Nutn.

[@guythatcomments]

maybe a couple dense rations so you have some glucose and less vulnerable to fatigue especially without water 1 16oz bottle = 1 pound

[@calholli]

Plus it would be an interesting social dynamic to see just how well survival types do in groups with unknown people. That would be a super, out of the box video that isn't anywhere on the Tubes. conflicting philosophies and all.

[@lambrosk3790]

“Spiritual things, that’s where you should have your value system.” That’s why I tune into this channel more than most. A realistic (I’m not using the word tactical, I refuse) and universal approach to living well. If it’s good for me it’s good for everyone. If it’s good for me but hurts others then, by definition, it’s not good. Life’s purpose, to live. Man’s purpose in life, to live well. Follow the golden rule using your moral compass and you’ll always be headed in the right direction.

[@nutnfancy]

FROM TNP PATREON Chris: Wow another great video I love the concepts and the philosophy. Great vid! Can’t wait for part 2! Way to keep spitting the truth nutn, the realism is needed and a good reminder to us all!

[@nutnfancy]

Thank you Chris, glad to do it. I seek to offend no one but I am compelled to be truthful always.

[@nutnfancy]

FROM TNP PATREON Jeff Kroeker Nutnfancy you are correct. I’m not ready! You sir have impeccable timing! I am addressing my kit and seriously considering what a kit would look like for the other members of the family. You definitely made some points that have me thinking. Again thank you for the great content and keep em coming!

[@nutnfancy]

FROM TNP PATREON Taylor O'Neill: Thank you for the dose of reality Nutn! The proudest that I have ever been of the city I live in, Houston, was during and after Hurricane Harvey. I'm so glad that you talk about how terrible WROL will be, and that we should "not hasten the day". I hate how some people fantasize it online. I love Texas because of the people who love Rule of Law and help one another. I read an article recently about how volunteers in Utah have been helping with wildfires. Having lived in other parts of the country, I have to say that I'm so grateful to live in Texas and it sounds like Utah is right up there. Not saying we're perfect, but it gives me hope. How do you feel about your immediate community, Nutn?

[@calholli]

[@SenhorSus]

Always assumed the "behind enemy lines paratrooper kit" was as close as we would come to this video...what a pleasant surprise! Nutn still going strong

[@markprice6911]

1. The average person is unable to survive in the wild for any length of time. 2. Your bug out plan is only as good as the weakest member of your group. 3. The average member of the military is totally untrained in survival skills (The beans and bullets are delivered by your supply chain). 4. In one week, you'll be ready to steal. In to weeks. to kill. In three weeks, to eat another person (not your girlfriend). And, so will everyone you encounter. 5. Trust your neighbors, encourage them to prep, have the "what if" talk with them.

[@JHolder1422]

This guy isn't a hunter. Much easier to shoot and eat that rabbit or deer than that human. I don't think i would ever consider eating another human a better option than shooting a wild animal. That rabbit isnt going to shoot back at me. And it's also not another human. A single deer will feed a family for a while if they know what they are doing.

[@jjw5165]

People who can hunt will stip the are around cities within two weeks.

[@RandallSteen]

My gripe is a lot of people saying if you don’t have armor plate, or you don’t have an atlas shelter. Dude, most channels I unsubscribe. I love that you test stuff. Yeah that’s me looking over your shoulder. Gotta say thanks! Rockin’ budget prepping for the apocalypse. God loves you.

[@nutnfancy]

FROM TNP PATREON Jerry Naples: I'm looking forward to this series. My family and I have been through a lot of hurricanes and it's only a matter of time for "the big one" to hit Tampa Bay. I've watched a lot of "bag" videos and most are non-since. Also, a bug out kit for Florida would be different than a buyout kit for Utah. I have a portable fishing pole in mine with lures to catch local fish. Gotta eat.

[@trottheblackdog]

Truth. Here in the Sunshine State, we have many other considerations, chief among them: Don't die of heatstroke.

[@hakdov6496]

with hurricanes, you usually have at least 3 days notice and you just need enough money to live on in the next state for a few days. I evacuated twice back in 2004. We just drove across the state to stay with my dad until the storms passed.

[@nrbrown5985]

Thank God someone else said it. Bugging out should be the absolute last resort. Bugging out is a terrible idea when you have resources and shelter in your house.

[@principal7819]

Yes! Back to old school Nutnfancy. This is what made this channel the best!!

[@nobanmepls3291]

Im glad someone mentions getting in shape, so many people have this idea that they can hike uphill with 100+ pounds of gear like its no problem.

[@843Kenny]

Thank you for all the years of great content. I have been watching your channel since 2010 and I have learned more than I ever thought I would.

[@sublyme2157]

A friend of mine went to Indonesia after the tsunami to help with relief efforts. She and her team had to wear a burkas to disguise their identities, and even then her group had to wait till the jihadists left the region. One of the men she met had lost everything - his wife, his children, his home, everything. He was the only member of his family to survive. I'll never forget what he said to her, "I don't understand why you're here, but I'm sure glad you came, and I wish I had more than this smile to offer you." To echo what you've said a million times, that is real life. That is real WROL. That is real bugging out. And it's terrible.

[@Greg_M308]

Great story!

[@witchdoctor88]

44:20 Truth. Use the good scissors for your kit. When you’re stuck in the woods, freezing… you’ll want the good scissors. Keep the cheapies for your daily, and eventually replace them. Thanks Nutn.

[@anthonylam258]

Your message is very constant! It doesn’t matter when - 12 years ago, now & 12 years later. You always tell us the same, stay at home unless you have to.

[@thecognitiveconservative489]

Big thumbs up on the dog. They serve as early warning devices. Plus food is a necessity, my hunting dog points the birds; retrieves the birds from land or water as well as tracking large game. Really ups your odds when you need to survive off the land. That said I am not leaving my couch unless I have to.

[@geomardomingo1672]

So we can B. O. K.!!?! Dad joke goals right there.

[@richard6133]

I think that it was great that you led off with the points about don't bug out unless you have to, and the issues of physical fitness and vehicle dependence. We have had real-world bug-outs for hurricanes and tornadoes. The latter being with few minutes' notice. You have to know when to stay and when to go. For us, my wife has medical issues and can't walk any considerable distance, even over flat terrain and carrying nothing. If the vehicles are down or the roads are impassable, that's it. We stay, we make our stand, and we have to prepare accordingly for that.

[@15569903]

26:00 nutnfancy nails it! Material things are not important. I recently was in a very serious accident that caused a bleeding brain injury than was nearly fatal. Hearing from the Drs that i might not survive has given me a total new outlook on life and what is important. Family and friends and things that are irreplaceable are what count, put your effort into those things!

[@bayview5943]

Bro you just need to get a donkey. That will exponentially increase your weight bearing capacity.

[@mikefay4438]

Then eat the ass

[@rav94en]

I've been subscribed to this channel since around 2008 or 2009. I never say anything in these comments, but by God, I'm thankful for this channel. It has influenced so many of my gear choices and reshaped my perspective on so many things over the years. A big thank you, Nutnfancy, from West Virginia! Keep on truckin' brother.

[@Oberkaptain]

My wife and I like to do last minute backpack camping trips, so we will most likely just use those. We already carry while doing so as there are animals to potentially protect against, the only thing I would add to the kit is a 10/22 and small fishing kit for food harvesting.

[@bangabruhh8291]

Nutn one of the real GOATS of guntube. I’ve been watching for over a decade dude. Love the content still to this day! Thanks for all you have done for the community NUTN!

[@conradangel8602]

Totally agree with staying put. Unless you have a team where everyone in it is trained to survive on the move all you do is become very vulnerable.

[@nutnfancy]

FROM TNP PATREON Jeff Bluhm: I like the change of background. you should show us more of the compound and gear. maybe on this series you should go over what weapon/chest rig lbe you would actually carry if you had to defend your home.

[@nutnfancy]

FROM TNP PATREON Joshua kinnunen: I can’t be the only one to think “awesome the BOK review is here!” To only be slightly disappointed for this vid to be only a POU discussion. Still a great vid. I have a couple hybrid USK/CES kits that are more get back home bags than true BOKs. I’m excited to see your thoughts on building BOKs and getting some assembled for my family.

[@nutnfancy]

Well I hope I don't disappoint you with Pts 1 and 2 as well! Really it's nothing cosmic in them but I think my approach of wheeled conveyance and a "backpacking, self contained" approach is new. I Part 3 I get into the contents.

[@williammccaslin8527]

You are spot on in this, me an wifey figured out that buggin in is where it was at, bug out bags are heavy at 25 lbs, an they dont make guns lite enough for me, an most people can't walk more than a couple of miles a day, an hope you keep this POU going

[@darketernal12261]

Dont usually comment, but I love the videos and the honest take on the topics. I was a moderately prepared individual, but 5 years ago I suffered severe spinal damage in a fall at work. I'm currently focusing on returning to the physical point I once was, but I was wondering if you could do a video or at least a few points with your experience, what would be some preparation points for someone with limited physical mobility? I know plenty of people who are disabled who would like someone like you with your experience, to offer some thoughts that maybe we haven't thought of. Thanks in advance and keep the vids coming. Andrew

[@kurtbaier6122]

Excellent advice. I have 3 levels of kit. Car, bike, foot mobility. I shuck each as required. If I got time to go early I will go to family via car. Otherwise a mountain bike is a survival multiplier for my wife and I. Definitely caching. Good vid.

[@nutnfancy]

bcbrin20 1 day ago TNP Patreon is the gift that keeps on giving! Literally just tossed the old school JanSport I used for my office "get home bag" and was strongly considering a refresh. -B

[@aaronburela432]

Allie the mountain dog footage from the old adventure video such a great throwback video!

[@aaronritchie4797]

Thanks for mentioning allie. I miss her from the old videos. What an excellent dog.

[@davidfrydvm4960]

Love my horses - Cats also but they will have to stay. Destination less than 12 hour ride with cache in place.Thank you for your videos, I always respect and listen then self evaluate.

[@theriddleofsteelforge]

This video really hits home in march of 2020, thought I was ready, but wasn't prepared for this scenario 100% now I know my short comings and when supplies come back can fill in my lacking items.

[@justinwingerter5985]

Please post next episode on KZbin. Been watching the project for a few years now and this series has me excited.

[@BrianMcKinny]

Skechers are the best sports shoe made. I've had pairs that have lasted more than 5 - 6 years before I replaced them, and even then they weren't worn out so I didn't throw them away, I kept them for use when doing dirty work.

[@nutnfancy]

FROM Pandrade: Unfortunately as nutn stated most folks are in really bad shape. No one is really prepared physically,mentally,or stock wise. Here in Florida the evacuation orders rolled and I saw it first hand.

[@bloodhound122]

Excellent excellent discussion!

[@stymiesnerdly771]

Food, shelter, water, and FIRE SUPPRESSION! That means fire extinguishers, multiples. Plan to stay home accordingly. Good vid Nutn

[@slippenslug3266]

Probably one of the coolest rooms i've ever seen.

[@nutnfancy]

FROM TNP PATREON JN: My wife and I just moved to a heavily forested area with the chance of forest fires, so I have a real tangible reason to put together some bug out kits. Good timing on this topic. I've been hoping you'd do BOK vids since your USK vids years ago.

[@cynthiarunyon6789]

nutnfancy I like the real scenario’s people bring out here. In most cases when you bug out it might all start unspectacular. You evacuate because of a natural disaster. Personally I live in a save and remote area. But 60 years ago it was overrun by the red army. In case of a Natural disaster I am prepared to big in and offer space for flooding victims (Oder river). But I do have the Russians in mind ;). All my thoughts do focus on a “grey” scenario. I don’t believe there will be a full law break down if I look at the Second World War occupation might change your law or slowly erode before being enforced. Going full Rambo is not my goal, nor is it an ethical option. Violence will be a last resort. My main focus is on family, community and aid.

[@chrishardeen1017]

🌰 n fancy. I go through my bob once a year to upgrade and change out any expired things. I live in Florida. So I agree with your water philosophy. I live in my bol in the woods 22 miles from a major highway., town, and walmart. My bob is about 40 lbs. 70% gear 20% food 3% water ( Florida is hot) 7% msq subject to change.

[@nephron9924]

Thanks Nutn, you may not be able to save the world by yourself. But your knowledge and ideas have spread to the people that as a collective can and will execute that goal. Failure is not an option ladies and gentlemen. Good luck to you all and may God bless.

[@drcsep]

Absolutely evolving... I changed my BOB drastically due to Hurricane Maria aftermath... thanks for the teaching there is always a place for improvements 👍

I must be a terrible person because that was funny. Also, i love our cats.

[@pesarirooni62]

These videos are always hard to think about but are very important. Thanks Nutn

[@kenaisterling2880]

im a medic in the army and i agree mostly with it but your comment at 23:43 about food, shelter, water in my medical opinion you can go far without food you can force yourself to keep going but water will always be first. Its the first thing that will always bring someone to they"re knees. Life can not exist without water but food is a luxury.

[@dant4786]

I enjoy the reviews but this is what I love. The philosophy videos

[@simonvance8054]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing your years of experience with survival knowledge with us all. I've learned so much from you over the years! To me the GREATEST asset in any survival situation is the attitude of being determined to survive and maintaining confidence. Keep it together mentally, be determined and you'll find a way. Everything else will follow...

[@notsure1678]

Best Bug out video ever! Great logic! Excellent!

[@gregsummers7350]

Thank you Nutnfancy for your worthwhile contribution to this vital consideration. I have been on-board this mind set since 1965 when I first watch the B&W movie, 'Panic in the Year Zero'. This is a traumatic event situation and your preparations greatly reduced to shock impact. People need to 'google' images of the WW2 refugees and take really hard look at each and every image. A small 20 lbs suitcase and a bedroll was their BOK, a few had an unbalanced wheel barrow, bicycle or hand cart. There are many good contributions here. The wheel barrow does not have balanced load distribution. Gorilla carts are a possibility . BOK Roller-Bag Rolling resistance. The Roller bag is a great concept for each person. Small wheels and an unbalance BOK load makes life harder. The Roller bag do not have balanced - forward/Aft - load distribution and Nutnfancy made this point very well with Mrs Nutnfany's smaller / lighter roller bag. The Deer Drag sling concept attached to your rolling device transfers the forward mobility energy requirement from your arms to your stronger legs muscles. Deer Drag harness, costs about $10- $20. A large Deer Cart can pack a family of four's BOK on a BALANCED load and pulled by one or two people. Again the Deer Drag harness, costs about $10- $20, will assist in the mobility effort. The folding Deer Cart is a worthwhile BOK / child / casualty mobility system; see kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGWXYZtomduKd8k. 'Guide Gear Deer Cart Game Hauler' costs about $70 and can pack flat in to the trunk of a sedan. The 28 inch steel framed bike can carry a 400 lbs load pushed by one person. This is what the Viet Cong did along the Hi Chi Min trail during to Vietnam War, see www.historynet.com/pedal-power-bicycles-in-wartime-vietnam.htm . Giving Aid to Someone. Follow the military system: use THEIR (the casualty's) water, First Aid Kit & shelter items to help them. No kit, then they are SOL. Fools cannot be helped. I have done the roller bag leave home routine twice in two divorces and changed my country of residence. In my new country we had to move to our BOL farm when the local social situations went hostile. You would be surprised that shedding baggage can make you happier; but you need skill sets. I will refer this good advice video to others. Thank you again Nutnfancy and our world-wide crew from Greg in Thailand

[@TheBlackknight120]

People I met in Afghanistan didn’t think it sucked. They got water from natural springs and rivers, farmed their own food, raised their livestock. They thought OUR lives as soldiers sucked. They did really like the show 24 and Jack Bauer.

[@waylonk2453]

I really like the hiking footage. That landscape is surreal!

[@NCrdwlf]

Anyone who has ever been in any branch of the service knows that commo always sucks, always. I'm glad you made that radio rant. My wife always knows what I'm thinking anyway.

[@11awhitt]

I completely agree I with size and weight and everything is disposable . I once got lost hunting with my gear and 870 I walked 10 miles before I found a road than I was another 20 miles to my truck. I’ll tell you what my entire hunting set up changed after that day. I almost left my bag and shotgun. Honestly I haven’t taken my shotgun out since that day.

[@kyleaplanalp6173]

Well done! I really like the concept that everything is disposable.

[@scottcravens9454]

Good video. With that said if you have anything that can keep you alive it will keep someone else alive. If you are in a situation where you have to leave your domicile others will have to leave there’s. If they don’t have enough they WILL try to take yours.

[@morganmerritt8846]

Thank you from California ...the bug out state 🔥🔥

Maps, of area you live in, spot water locations, possible wild life areas, All my pack have a map, All my kids know east west north south, also use of stars at night. Rest of it simply, dry food, medical, knife and last Light weight fire arms. Great video, Your right been waiting to see Your view for BOK. Keep up the good work!.

[@daretodreamtofly3288]

I've always appreciated these types of videos. The gear reviews a cool. But these and the camping content has helped me build my kit.

[@libertyroads7342]

Always enjoy your philosophy and concept videos. You mentioned disabilities... I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, mostly in my hands and wrists. I can last a couple of weeks without meds before things start to stiffen up enough to hinder movement. But, because of those meds I can get infections, sunburn, and illness easier. So, my focus is on keeping things at home and just having a get home bag. If the streets are impassable for my vehicle then there is likely a lot of dust in the air. I keep a filtration mask, water, hat, and some other items to get me home without getting sick.

FROM godfather USA: Carry your pack in a WHEELBARROW! Small children can't hike very far, put them in the wheelbarrow. Find a water or fuel cache, carry it in the wheelbarrow. Need a barter item, trade the wheelbarrow. Run out of road, ditch the wheelbarrow. Don't own a wheelbarrow, use a lightweight wheeled cargo dolly.

[@guythatcomments]

Grocery carts seemed to work pretty good for the homeless... I kid but wouldnt wheelbarrow scream I got stuff you didnt bother getting when the getting was good

[@PsychosisPC05]

Ever use a wheel barrow at a construction site? Ditch that idea.

[@Calabasas42]

Perhaps a two-wheeled pull cart... which is basically like a wheeled duffel-bag, kinda, except with bigger, more durable wheels.

[@calholli]

When are you gonna do a big week long trip with 20 of us surviving in the wild testing all our gear? Lets get some testing overload going on..... Plus it would be an interesting social dynamic to see just how well survival types do in groups with unknown people. That would be a super, out of the box video that isn't anywhere on the Tubes. conflicting philosophies and all.

[@arlo12345678910]

Or make some wings out of feathers and wax like Daedalus did. Just don't fly too close to the sun like Icarus did!

[@grambam]

Been a sub for a few years this is the first nutnfancy vid in the recommended in like a year. Algorithm must like this vid!

[@nutnfancy]

FROM ALPHADOG8NINE 11 hours ago: I've been putting off working out/running for other things lately and you called me out on the fitness aspect. So thank you for the motivation! Reality check as I am not physically squared away. Better start using my YMCA membership for more than the hot tub! Thanks as always for the education and entertainment, Nutn. Also, you hit the nail on the head talking about where to put happiness and value in our Lives!

[@jarrett6174]

The difference between a "top tier" athlete and "middle of the road" is a lot more complex than mere 10 lbs increase ruck weight. But I guess that depends on your definition of "middle of the road." Great ideas in the video overall!

[@RockawayCCW]

The problem with bugging out is that your house will be looted while you are gone, so I'm not doing it unless I believe my house is about to be destroyed.

[@ferebeefamily]

Great topic and content. I am not bugging out if that is an option and would rather stay around my destroyed home if possible. My bug out bags are just that but can also be a 3 day patrol pack. Don't forget the Katadyn Pocket water filter system. My son was listening to you and it meant a lot hearing this from you. Thank you.

[@nutnfancy]

FROM TNP PATREON Randall: I love the new mad money format. Maybe you need some sound effect buttons. You had me so confused with the "dead to me" principle. I thought I knew all your lingo. Well in the concept USK series you call it the "write off" principle. I've stuck to that with my own kits.

[@mrwhiteinca]

Thank you Nutn for, as always, being the voice of reason. Reason is one of our greatest commodities and we seem to be in ever shorter supply! One viewpoint is that lots of prepared humans are exactly what a center of calamity needs. For as you always say: let us be the sheep dogs, and not the sheep. Only the sheep run away. I stay, help, and do the best i can and if i die so doing - so be it. As a very long-time resident of Hollywood, as a preparedness oriented human - I've spent a good deal of time not only actually being prepared but thinking (fantasizing, if you will) about scenarios that require preparedness. Indeed I've voiced the very question to many: "In what scenario would you actually bug out?" Frankly, I've yet to hear a credible answer that results in any realistic survival or, more importantly, that even credits leaving at all. One possible, realistic scenario is a total grid collapse followed by a society breakdown and total WROL fail - in an urban environment with a lot of people (or perhaps some sort of awful pandemic, ala every Hollywood script written in the last 10 years). But really - if that is so, then isn't it so everywhere else? Where are you going? (and why are you abandoning your friends and also perhaps other family who, no doubt, live in the area you're bugging out of). And, any informed person knows, such events are forecast to last "many months, to many years." So leaving your home where, even the woefully unprepared are de facto infinitely more prepared to survive such events, is short sighted in my view. There is going to be risk no matter what you do - risk is inherent in such situations and we can all agree, there is no perfect choice. You may stay, and eventually die where having left, you may have ultimately lived longer (although is picking meat off rat bones really living?). But if you leave immediately, i believe in the near term - you have elevated the possibility of death significantly in almost scenario imaginable. I could go on for pages, debunking the notion of why hurricanes, earthquakes, grid down, etc, do not = GTFO. imho. When i find out that it's happened even once in all of modern human history (a real, credible story of someone bugging out from a disaster - that made sense) then maybe i'll change my tune. It's your "hunter-gatherer" genes talking. That's not us anymore - and it never will be again. We will either make the successful leap from our current state into a galaxy-spanning civilization, or we'll all die in a fiery ball of scorched earth self-destruction. There is no in between. PS: most of my personal preparedness, besides the sort of obvious, lies in ways to make clean water, an extensive, expensive med kit(s), and cheap, stored long term food.

[@Mrcaffinebean]

It's been a while sense I've watched Nutn but I saw this video and knew it was time to come back. You're original videos on your USK were such a crazy departure for most of what was on KZbin. I look forward to this series

[@derickch1200]

Smart video. Something to consider is the standard for fitness. 1) Your bug out kit should be light enough to carry or drag for 20 miles in 6 hours or less, if not, it's too heavy. 2) You should have enough energy left to set up camp and do camp chores. 3) If in a group, be able to stand watch. If you can't do all 3, then you have work to do. This is survival, and it sucks.

[@Muddy_Turtle_Motors]

LOL I've never played with the play back button. The .25% payback is hilarious. 200% also pertty funny.

[@Muddy_Turtle_Motors]

1.5 JUST RIGHT

[@CainnechK]

I love these types of videos. Keep them coming please

[@theirishman6728]

Another point and possibility to think of for choosing to bug out over bugging in, is as Nutn said, you're leaving a lot behind at your property. If you're planning to return home after your unneeded bug out, you might come back home to a ransacked and looted home. All those supplies, gone. And there's also the possibility that you might come home to find other people... possibly armed people, squatting in your home that you left behind. Now you have a difficult decision to make. Fight to regain your property. Or cut some large losses and leave it behind for them to keep.

[@knifetech101]

Love it. I was waiting for you to tell us to stay put unless absolutely necessary

[@dgross53]

Great video! Thanks for keeping it real Nutn and telling it like it is. Love the philosophy ... I’m taking so many important pieces from it. I have a lot of work to do, but I agree 100%, I’m staying put with my family unless I absolutely have to go. Looking forward to the next video. In the meantime I’ll be looking for some inexpensive, wheeled duffles :-)

[@jdchannelviewer]

I have a portable fish bowl in my kit. I put a lot of effort in those tetras and they are coming with!

[@rockhopper01]

The acting gets better with every video. Bravo!

[@LARPeratorsAnonymous]

I focus to much on all the cool “bouji” gear and have a plate carrier with meds, comms, mags loaded, and my go to mk18 pistol. Of course I don’t have any food, water, Fire starting, etc ready to go. I’m going to start putting mine together ASAP.

[@flobrob707]

Hey Nutn. Thanks for doing this. Last year we had to bug out and were gone for 14days during the tubs fire storm (google it if you don’t know) had 10min to get out of the house which is a lot more then most people had. I had my family of 5, 2 big German shepherds and surprise...my cat all in my f-250. I had worked hard on my supply’s and kit over the years and so much of it went right out the window in the heat of the moment. I had time for some guns, paper work (stuff u don’t think about. took the whole damn file cabinet), dirty laundry hampers and what we ended up needed the most was water and gas. We were separated from help and the rest of our family by fire surrounded in a valley. It’s a long story and I learned a lot and it was very different then I could have ever imagined. If you ever wanna hear the story let me know. Long story short. Gas and water were the most important in the moment. Keep ur tank full and have a good 4x4. Saved our life’s.

[@flobrob707]

And FYI G19 is the only gun I kept on me. And I did need it once but all ended up without anyone getting hurt. But remember how important I said gas is. And when there isn’t any how far people will go to get it.

[@madogalpha1]

Nutn, just want to take a few minutes to thank you for yet another great foundational video. I am not in a position to be a patreon patron right now but hope to be able to in the near future. I have been here since around 2008 as a sub and look to your videos as a counter point to my own experiences. I too am a “Don’t hasten the day” individual. My philosophy is much like yours in that I plan for the worst and hope for the best and try to live everyday as if it were my last. Thank you for your service to our country and for all the hard work you put in here for your viewers and more so for your family. They may not realize it now, but when you are gone to your reward they will always have these videos and the memories and life lessons you have imparted to them and to all of us here on your channel. I also would like to thank your family for sharing you with all of us here. The sacrifices they have made not just for this but for your service while on deployments and the moves you have all had to make as a military family, for your different assignments. Thank you again for this video and please do post the rest as your time allows here for those of us who maybe can’t yet afford to contribute monetarily but would love to be able to.

[@tw2034]

Love it. More. More! MORE!

[@Richard-wz9uh]

Nutn, you need to get into the podcast game! I listen to these feature length philosophy of use KZbin’s on my commute. Love downloading your knowledge into my brain!

[@AVERT-]

"leave the cat"!!!! Hahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha classic

[@CyprusTM]

They're useless :D

[@notjeb9889]

My cat comes with me He's my hunting kitty. I taught him to fetch and kill. He's my mountain cat Linus the cat is a badass

[@JohnShaw26.2]

Tactical meal, bring the kitty.

[@urbanjungle9600]

Cats = chicken of the living room

[@LordEvan5]

I would have to bring the cat cause I would have to bring my mom and I couldn’t get her to move without her cat if she left him behind she would be such a wreck that it would make her impossible to bring guys will laugh at me but doesn’t the mental state of those with you count for anything

[@johnnypalamino1761]

Love your philosophy . The real deal!

[@wernergillespie6561]

Love these - balanced, keeping it real, I find too often that people romanticize this sort of thing. Good advice in this. Keep em coming!

[@panzerabwerkanone]

My family was in Panama City Beach when Hurricane Michael hit. It went from a Cat2 storm to Cat4 overnight. It was then too late for them to bug out. But luckily they had water, fuel, generator, non-perishable supplies to last a week.
