It always amazes me how much socks are under rated. I was taught on the 3 pair system. 1 to walk in, another pair to wear at night and anothe to replace the walking socks while they dry. Wash the walking socks at the end of the day and the sleeping socks every 2 days. I never got any foot infections.

A quality tourniquet cat or Softee is a must, 6 individual 4 x 4, 2 maxi pads, 1- 2 inch roll gauze, one roll vet wrap, Small Tube of antibacterial, small scissors or shears combined with the duct tape and shemagh will get you through most situations.

Good video! I've never seen a budget first aid kit that I thought "hey, this *doesn't* have a bunch of stuff in it I probably won't ever need." I'm a big fan of putting your own kit together for your individual needs, plus predictable circumstances. At age 67, I personally would need more OTC painkillers because of my arthritis. I'd probably need some type of roll-on or squeeze tube of a topical pain-killer too, to stretch a small supply of aspirin out longer. A packet of Salonpas patches would be handy, too. I'd probably need fewer band-aids because I've learned to be more observant as I've gotten older. I now tend to avoid any hazard I see, rather than bull my way through it the way I did as a 20-something... I'd want stuff for unpredictable occurrences as well as known, normal everyday needs.

Years ago myself, my BF and his three kids got caught out with 10k other people in a freak snowstorm nobody saw coming. We went to Timberline Lodge. Left at 3:00 pm. By the time we got to I-84 snow was falling. We ended up abandoning the car at a parking garage in downtown PDX. Last MAX transit train that was running out of Portland only took us part of the way. We ended up getting home to Hillsboro, Oregon at 1:30 am. Ever since we carry a tote in the back of our car with road supplies, food, a stove, a gallon of water, water filters, two wool blankets and supplies to deal with a break down. If we go out into the trees, both our personal backpacks go too. During covid, I put together a badass first aid kit that an EMT wouldn't turn up their nose at. We also both carry a personal first aid kit in our backpacks. When I stay in hotels, I take the coffee cups/lids, sugar/spoon etc and those go in the tote in the car. We can bust out a cup of coffee, tea, cocoa for four people at any given time. Useful for making friends in the middle of a traffic jam or helping out a mom with restless kids.

Thanks for another great video. Lots of good tips in this one. A nice simple bag with just a few basic things is easy to put together for not a lot of money. One thing to note is choosing things based on where you live. In a warmer area, you don't need a heavy sleep system. In colder areas, you may want two or three extra blankets. In an area there's not a lot of water resources, bring extra canteens and containers. Just try and think about where you are and where you might be going to figure out what's best for you.

A SOL Breathable Bivy Bag would have been priceless that day I slept on a baby tick nest...Twenty bites! They may have been drawn to the heat of the body long fire too... A nice fixed blade fits in that Walmart water bottle sling. Butt Wipe in that Stanley Cup too, stays dry. (Microfibre. Doggie Baggz?) That and a waist pack to carry a Poncho... A Life Straw. A Sleeping Bag Compression Bag makes for carrying spare clothes in. (Three bags.) Rain Gear Tops and Bottoms. Puffer Pants? I like to carry that in my arms... Disperses the weight off my back some. All that will fit in a MMSS Compression Bag in your car until you need it. How about a few MRE's? Compass. (I like the old black one better.) That'll get ya' twenty miles. 10 pounds... Like they say on Naked and afraid. Fire, tool (Knife.), water pot... If one were in a desert though... Like he said. Intent.

@commonsensepatriot9450 this one is almost as unrealistic, though. If the premise is just "I'm hiking until I can call for help" just carry a Garmin InReach and have a handful of people download the app so you can message them. Like, nowadays, satellite access isn't expensive, and your phone might even have the capability built in. So maybe carry a 20,000mAh power bank, some food, a lighter, a knife, and a metal water bottle with filter. Otherwise, This bag needs to be with the assumption that you can't call for help and you have to make your way home yourself. Lastly, like 36 states have concealed carry reciprocity now and EVERY state has a concealed weapons permit that is on a "shall issue" basis now, thanks to the Supreme Court ruling about a year ago.

@commonsensepatriot9450 I agree, but if the INTENT is to just get somewhere to where you can call someone, then just carry something to call someone from anywhere. But if you're preparing for a situation where all cell towers are down and you have to get yourself home, that's where a bag like this would be needed. But also, if I'm 25 miles into the woods, the only reason I'd be there is to be camping or hunting, so I'd have that gear with me anyway. The scenario he presents just doesn't make sense to me with the outcome he's looking for.

I currently wear a chest pack, a fanny pack (in front) and a small backpack. Everything with load (including a full 36oz water bottle) comes in at 25lbs. If I really had to I could lose the backpack and still have essentials to make it home. I can sleep with a chest pack and fanny pack on. It seems to work best for me, for now. *Special note: ankle high pantyhose, one pair to wear reduces friction and therefore blisters, second pair a good pre filter for water.

Even better, change out all your cotton and/or synthetic material socks for Marino wool socks. Do this over time since a pair of Marino wool socks cost more than a six pack of cotton socks. The other bonus, the Marino wool socks last a whole lot longer.

Such a good video. Show the gear, explain the why and how of using it. I love every video Corporals Corner does. I love to learn and that is why I am here every Sunday for class.

I have worn WOOL socks year around for the last 10 years. So, buy wool socks for your GHB!

Nice kit. Enjoyed your explanation. I also keep a pair of clip on sunglasses in their little case, a spare pair of glasses, and a pair of the red Milwaukee gloves with the tips cut off. Also sunscreen and repellent

Don’t know if it’s already been suggested but Refuge Medical has great US made trauma first aid kits.

Great info.. I have most of these items due to your recommendations in early videos and absolutely they do work great! Also, there are a lot of good other people doing these type videos some you have even recommended but it's hard for me to watch anyone's else's content. You are simple & on point! I like it and have gained a lot of knowledge from you! Want to say thanks from TN for your time and knowledge sir!

@23:09 Placing a solar panel on your dashboard isn’t ideal. Windshield glass blocks essential solar radiation, reducing the panel’s efficiency. Additionally, the heat inside a car can further lower performance. A portable solar charger like the SunJack is a better option since it can be hung outside for optimal sunlight. Rather than charging your phone directly, use the solar panel to charge battery packs first, then use those to power your phone. Phones draw extra energy when nearly depleted, slowing the charge rate if you’re charging directly from solar. When charging your phone, set it to airplane mode and enable power saver mode to maximize efficiency. This setup provides consistent power on the go.

Very well thought out kit.. NOT everything you think you need, not everything you may want. You have here the essentials to get you back to safety, IF, you do your part!

According to the Grayl website: How do I know when it is time for a new cartridge? As you use your Grayl purifier, the 'press time' will slowly increase with use. When 'press time' reaches ~25 seconds (or three years have elapsed since first use), it is time to replace your cartridge. Grayl's own rule of thumb.

Great content. Came across your get home bag from 6 years ago. Nice update. I would add super glue for wound closing into the first aid kit. For the headlamp I like this one: The Princeton Tec Vizz 550. It defaults to a RED light first and saves your eyes in the dark. It is also more discreet. Thanks again!!!

Caffeine pills could help avoid the headaches for those that habitually use caffeinated beverages. And I firmly believe that dogs are threat number one if walking roads. Dog repellent spray or bear spray for sure. Firearm backup.

You mentioned you put those solar panels on your dashboard, and it took two days to charge one bar. Remember, the windshield is UV tinted. You will lose about 60% efficiency in that device. A 20-watt panel only gives you 8 watts behind the windshield, plus it loses ability in the heat.

I've been following your channel and many like it for years, I'm always changing out gear and testing things, and swapping things, I'm more and more minimal and lightweight now more than ever, I still keep some of the same core items that you list here, like a trash bag, bank line, and that wonderful Victorinox Ranger. In fact that black trash bag has been in my pack for probably 9 years now lol, I ditched the mylar emergency blanket a while ago I never used it, they are in fact heavier than I'd like for something that may never get used, so I rely on a good water proofing sleep system in an emergency, and in fact the trash bag would work just as well IMO. Great video as always.

Make your own med kits. Thats typically how you end up with everything you want and nothing you dont.
