Some more bits and pieces people might like to consider, depending on the situation: Mini FM radio that runs on AAs - keep up with what's happening in society Small pry bar Glass breaker Some extra pairs of disposable nitrile gloves in a zip lock bag - for messy situations/first aid A couple hundred dollars cash, in small denominations ($10, $20 etc.) Good quality whistle for signalling - recommend Fox40 brand P38 can opener Electrolyte sachets Mini glow sticks 3M Dust masks/respirators if debris and dust is present (after earthquakes, etc.) Tin of chafing fuel - super simple, safe flame source Spare boot laces Felt tip marker/sharpie - writes on way more surfaces than ballpoint pens

I also like to put stuff in B.O.B. that can serves more than one purpose, Like my hammock for instance, it gets me and my gear off the ground and I can use it to seine for fish Hang it back up and let it dry while so I can sleep on it later, My 8x8 tarp not only keeps my sleeping bag and Hammock dry while it's on my bag but I put it above my hammock while I sleep and when it rains I can loosen it up and catch rain water for drinking/cooking, I don't carry a knife, I have a mini hatchet that I can use to chop wood with plus it's small enough I can use it as a knife. I can take the para chord apart and use as a trout line, and so on.

I am only usually 10 miles or so from home on a daily basis but found your video very interesting and informative, subbed. I use Anker power banks too and their 3 way charging cable so it covers type B. C and lightning cable charging. I build my get home kit as an extension of my EDC. It’s in a bigger bag that I can fit the items of my normal day bag inside. So for example I have my phone and a very small torch (flashlight) at work but carry a high viz item and larger flashlight with me for walking home on country roads in the dark. One more suggestion, spare door key! You don’t want to get home to find you cannot get in…. Olive oil is very good for you by the way.

Yeah good thing you started with the region you live in being the thing that determined the kit.

I live in the densest populated part of Europe so i can't spit in any direction without hitting a building. That means my entire kit is made for urban survival. That also means i can bring more items initially. The puncture kit and luxury items are attached to the bicycle. The essential kit is in my backpack i use when i have to ditch the bike. I live in the swamp part so i really love bugnets, one is build into my boony and i have a backup boony with loose net in my backpacks external pouch.

In the days of people watching and making videos and getting through them as fast as possible, I liked the length of your video explaining use and reasoning for your gear because, you walk the walk. It seems as though KZbin is becoming saturated with people repeating what they’ve seen in other videos and making their recommendations on gear and theories their own but, have never had the experience of using them in real life situations, just in the backyard. I don’t know if I missed the part of the total weight of your gear. It’s a concern for me because of a bad back and spinal cord injuries. I heard you say that you don’t like fires but, did I miss what you carry for fire starting gear ? Thanks for the video, I learned some things that I never thought about like extra insoles for your shoes and some different types of clothing.

@PreparedAirman again, you said "scenarios gear and mindset" none of which is actionable training. It's hypothetical brainstorming, stuff to buy, and mental gymnastics. You know exactly what I am talking about and the gatekeeping of knowledge is detrimental to the development of viewers. Everyone knows about purifying water but 99.99% have no idea what DINOCAVE, METT-TC or SOSRA means.

@ahole5407 If you seriously think im gate keeping knowledge by making 80 videos a year all for you to view for free, then why don't you do something about it? Make and invest in your own channel based on your own professional background. At the end of the day, you're all talk and no proformence lol. You can hide your face behind a keyboard and complain, but you'll never actually make a channel and press record.
