That’s a great uk based bag. Too many people with snares, ferro rods and 48 hour rat packs. Socks, high viz and waterproofs are essentials for the uk and so often overlooked. Thanks for the sensible kit 👍

[@danielmarshall4587]

Lovely vid, cheers, lots of ideas and "stuff " to think about.... and not the things that had occurred to me straight off. Again thank you.

Thank you for watching Daniel hope you enjoyed, and thank you for your comment. Atb Andy

This is only the second truly sensible bag I've ever seen, of the many urban survival bag videos I've watched. I agree with you that a lot of people include a lot of extra nonsense items, like ferro rods and para cord. I always roll my eyes at that. If you live in a city and need to get home, you very likely aren't going to be building any fires or constructing a shelter! What I often carry, however, is a Pocket Rocket stove and a tiny can of gas, tea bags, and dry milk. A cup of tea can make most situations more bearable! And taking a little break for a snack bar and a cuppa will give me the energy needed if I have to walk the 6 miles from central London to my home (which I did once due to bomb threats on some train lines). Given that you've experienced a real SHTF situation, I'm more likely to pay heed to your advice than so many armchair preppers out there. You have the credibility earned from real life experience. Thank you for this good video.

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Thank you for your comment i enjoyed reading that one Atb Andy

[@starfox-germany]

Armchair preppers.. made my day. Really enjoyed reading your comment. Thx

[@tomhannigan2234]

As a fellow brit, one thing I keep in my bag is a cheap disposable poncho. That way when there's an inevitable downpour and you're suck outside for whatever reason, you can chuck it on over both you and the bag and stay dry. They only cost a £1 from tesco and pack down small and light. 👍

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Good idea

[@ct026]

👍🏻👊🏻

[@brashachilles9725]

Great idea.

[@geniusphil1]

Just stumbled upon this. I live in the UK and have been putting together a kit of late, what with all the covidy/brexity/Russia worries!. This video is a godsend and a most welcome, sane approach to the idea of us all having a bit more nous about us. So many people are put off putting together a kit because of all the crazy "preppers" who do videos about why it's essential to carry all kinds of rubbish, like anti-EMP devices, guns etc etc. Bit of common sense and relative preparedness goes a long long way, without going down some kind of rabbit hole!

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Very true what you say, glad you enjoyed it. Atb Andy

[@yokosomike]

Thanks for the video, the only item I don’t see is a Swiss Army. Mine has a pen, scissors, tweezers, bottle opener and small knife and I use them all the time. Stay safe.

[@alcmantyrtaeus]

My first thought as well.

[@garethchantler9784]

Great realistic get home bag Andy. I'd personally drop the bigger torch for a standard orange survival bag just in case getting home turned into an overnight and for the minimal weight might add a cheap water filter. The monocular for road signs, etc is a great idea.

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Thank you for watching glad you enjoyed it, and great tips from you as well. the bigger torch can obviously be used to protect yourself in a sticky situation. Atb Andy

[@mic400uk]

@@andyoutdoors4350 great video mate. I think a tactical light would be a good swap for that large heavy light you have. the pronged head makes a formidable weapon if needs be, they are very bright and smaller than their traditional counterparts. Good luck 👍

[@davidhughes2336]

Its so nise to see someone that has a good idea of what they are talking out and from liverpool to

Thank your comment, that was just the filming location Atb Andy

What no machete😂 😂😂😂😂😂Nice one mate really good.

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Thanks for watching buddy, ATB Andy

[@79joddy]

I always carry ChapStick. You will be surprised how dry lips can get especially in cold dry weather. It is very annoying and ChapStick is invaluable. Gloves are important in cold weather. Maybe a poncho and a gas stove and pot for boiling water. Tea or coffee is more morale boosting than water. You can also have UHF milk with sachets of tea and coffee. A spare set of underwear in case of chafing can be a lifesaver. This has saved me on more than one occasion.

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Thank you for watching and your comment Atb Andy

[@johnjay599]

Great set up! In my GHB I have a smaller pouch that has what I think I may need if I have to grab the bag and get going quick. It has a rolled up cap, eye protection, ear plugs, a knife, a dust mask, a small radio, a flashlight, and one bottle of water. I would grab it from the GHB before I put it on and use those items on the run if needed. I may not have the time to stop and dig through my larger bag for those things if it’s chaotic. Once it calms down I can stop and get other items as I need them.

[@philipbailey7754]

Your only miles from me have to meet up for a over nighter good videos 👍🏻

[@BlesamaSoul]

Sensible load out, the D cell torch is your choice I'd go smaller/lighter, but hey budget and what you have already is a personal choice. Brew kit is my luxury item in the urban bag, again choice not essential. thanks for sharing

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Thanks for watching and your comment Atb Andy

[@markplane5994]

Nice, the only thing I would add from my personal perspective, as an alternate to a flask with a brew or a back up is a fold down hexi cooker as they don't weigh anything and a small metal cup. If I had to stop for a while and take some sort of shelter so I could make a brew or a little extra warmth of a flame, either using a hexi block or twigs on the hexi cooker base.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Great video Andy. A well thought out get home bag. And achievable Ona budget also. Good job 👍🏻

[@derealovesurvival7549]

Good kit well thought out and covers most of the bases thanks for sharing ATB

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Thanks for your comment ATB Andy

[@granitejeepc3651]

Great bag idea----low profile, inexpensive, basics: very good for low cost low threat non permissive scenarios/environment---Ill use as a base idea for spare bags for family members.

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Thankyou for your comment, truly appreciate ATB Andy Outdoors

[@fog360]

Great video and good get home bag to well done Andy .

Nice low-profile rucksack.

[@michaelbevan1081]

Your video came up on my feeds; it's to see get home bag from England. Enjoyed it :) I wish I could taken the time to learn how to use a ham radio.

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Thank you for your comment, there are plenty of radio clubs to learn about ham radio, why not see if there is one near where you live, Atb Andy

[@hikingwithmalli606]

The music at the Start sounds like a realy bad cheesy porn 😂 But the info is helpful thanks 👍

[@brashachilles9725]

Some hiking apps allow you to download maps. Usable when you have no signal on the phone. Good idea to drive or walk the way home once beforehand if you take the tube, bus or train. Your walking route will be different. Moleskin for blisters. Wool socks and hopefully waterproof hiking shoes.

[@surviveanything4765]

Good urban kit you got. Not sure if it's the same in the UK, but look at getting a 4-way silcock key for getting water from buildings.

[@surviveanything4765]

@rachel moose Google 4-way silcock key

[@BeardedMonster80]

Those aren't a thing here.

[@thelasthourgetready]

You can get a decent waterproof Rucksack cover from ebay only £2.99 from china. I tested it. Its very good. Alternatively the karrimore ones are good.

[@brashachilles9725]

Many phones can take a compass app. Maybe it still works if coverage is down?

[@stalwart263]

Yes they do. Just flick your phone onto Aeroplane mode to see how it works with no signal. In the UK the OS Locate app has a great compass and will give you your grid reference for the OS maps.

[@BlackthornBushcraft]

Hi Andy, it's been 2yrs since this video has the bag evolved in anyway?

[@andyoutdoors4350]

sorry for the late reply. no its not changed. but i tend to run more with EDC nowadays. Useful bag to keep in your vehicle tho. cheers for watching and your comment. Atb Andy

[@wil172921]

The only thing I think that is often missed is especially in an urban environment is clothing. If the situation is hostile walking around in clothing that stands out then you will be in a pickle. I would wear grey navy blue and black clothing. For me wearing combats just makes you a target and same for bright colourful clothing. Also being physically fit is important running 3-4 miles should be minimum and you should be able to do that in 20/30mins.

[@GONEWILDFILMS]

Can a Tactical Pen break Train glass in the event of an emergency. Nobody wants to be stuck in the underground subway system of England, New York, or anywhere else ??? Thanks for the informative video.

[@andyoutdoors4350]

A heel from a shoe can break the emergency windows on trains and underground trains, so yes as long as you use the emergency window that is usually in the middle of the carriage Atb Andy

[@stalwart263]

Most UK trains and buses have emergency glass hammers accessible.

[@ich8159]

You could carry one of these small Resqme car escape tools. They even fit on a keychain or zipper and weight nothing.

[@ravn-zx5vz]

great selection but i think is still a lot of stuff that you dont need and just add weight and space

[@davidcann6021]

Do you drive to work? Could pop a small folding bike in the boot and it'll cut down journey time a lot, unless you get stuck on one of the days we get snow :)

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Great idea

[@mrx1262]

good vid mate . nice one . we need some good prepper's to make some vids up in Newcastle upon Tyne it would be good to see some Geordie Prepper's vids . i live in hope for that day

[@andyoutdoors4350]

cheers mate much appreciated

[@leemeloy5068]

Blimey good vid but how many adverts pop up

Any updates to the bag in 2023?

[@andyoutdoors4350]

Im working on a new modular bug out bag system at the moment video will be posted when done.

[@temperedstate8963]

Nicely done! Could have done without the offensive comment by this CarolCorp5x5, but I guess none of us can pick our viewers and commentators. But we can delete the comments!

[@greghardman5064]

Your remarks reference other peoples kit isn't strictly correct...I am in the UK and the nearest City to my home is 65miles away....I often go there on the train. So for instance, if we had a situation where say we found ourselves in a Grid Down or a worst case scenario, an EMP strike from a foreign state or terrorist group, the public transport systems would go down and roads would be blocked with knackered vehicles....if that was to happen I would have to try make my way back on foot...realistically its a minimum 3 Day hike which means I'd have to spend a minimum 2 nights out....so my kit includes a tarp, a Bivibag, a gas stove and a Steel Bottle & Nesting Cup. I always carry as EDC a Leatherman & a Ferro Rod as well as a a couple of Bic Lighters. As well as other bits & pieces...including 3 dehydrated Main meals, a couple packets of oats, and high protein snack bars.
