Socks we used to wash and then tie to the back of our pack to dry on the move the next day. You can rotate easily only 2 pairs of socks that way.

[@gordonlawrence1448]

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.

I've spent 11 years in EMS and I am a proponent for building your own first aid kit. 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. Then watch some good KZbin tutorials on how to use said equipment.

[@mikeherpel6308]

I always carry a police style whistle, on a neck lanyard, when I am outdoors, hiking, hunting, fishing, cutting/splitting firewwod, etc. If I get hurt or lost the sound travels further than yelling, if you can yell, and draws attention. Excellent addition that weights ounces.

[@ronv6637]

The whistles made to attach to life preservers(flat,little bigger than stick of gum,come with lanyard) are amazing for size,weight, rugged loud and not expensive

[@johnbiddal5951]

The clear explanation of "Intent" as an introduction was excellent, it made your selection of items in the kit and the reasons very understandable. 👍

[@danhollifield]

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.

[@jeffhaddox2239]

The stove is good because a good portion of the year is fire season, especially out west. I like a good pair of work gloves too.

[@NewEnglnd-kk9zz]

One thing I learned from going through Hurricane Helene is do not depend on cell phones or internet working. In Nc some areas didnt get the flood warning until a full week after the flood because towers were down. We lost power, phone and internet very early during Helene. I was also taken back by how many people were truly unprepared with even basic necessities like pantry food to eat during a power outage or even gas in their cars.

[@MountaineerRN304]

I highly recommend Refuge Medical for first aid items. They cover everything from boo boo kits to trauma kits.

[@Token_Civilian]

Great stuff CC. Glow stick signal - tie on the end of a 5 foot cord and twirl in a circle. Light + movement = visibility. Food - consider a bag of potato or corn chips. High calorie to weight ratio, and in the case of potato chips, lots of good electrolytes as well.

[@auntyv]

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.

[@Redvikingneck]

Great light pack. I understand you're probably just getting the point across with Tylenol but they make smaller travel tubes and I would recommend adding some asprin, it can save your life from a heart attack and when used with ibuprofen it is a great pain killing combo. Thanks for putting out awesome content!

[@brentkinsworthy4999]

Some of the newer headlamps have a moonlight or 1 candle power option. It's more than enough for campsite movements but extends your battery for days. Coffee tears my stomache up so I pack some of those Emergen-C packs. Gives me an energy boost plus vitamin c and electrolytes.

[@liberalgunnut1592]

Outstanding! I’ve been in the BWCA, employing multiple Corporal’s Corner bushcraft skills, including the quick- deploy ridge-line (several companions spent the first night, building their own). Spent today catching up on the last three week’s of videos. I’ve now implemented these skills and equipment in a real-world scenario and have returned to civilization, unscathed and without giardia. Your instructionals and reviews are the real deal. Keep up the great work!!

[@subreniajohnson4509]

Good advice. Since I am a disabled veteran and cannot walk very far without aid. So, I will add a foldable bike in the trunk of my vehicle.

[@stepheneddington1667]

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.

[@melissagreen4285]

Love your channel. This video in particular answered a lot of my questions. Ax vs folding saw in particular. Its easy to over think survival. Keep making your awesome videos.

A ton of good information in this video. I second the Way Point Marker. A few years ago, I set gear down to set up a duck blind in the pre-dawn hours. Lost some good shooting time until I located my camouflaged shotgun. Edit: Possibly the best video on this topic I have seen. As a senior outdoorsman, I pay attention to this in case a (another) knee goes out.

Very well done. Love the "intent" emphasis. I am an engineer (unstructured problem solver) and intent really helps you stay "on-target".

[@Sam-iw6te]

Hate to ask a redundant question (im sure youve gotten it before) but how do you typically plan a route to "get home?" A video demoing the process would be great. I do recall your videos on compasses and maps, but showing an execution of those principles i think would help

[@davidturner3014]

This guy always gets me inspired/thinking. That water pot cook set is so cool. I use a Stanley Pot (The old version. With a split ring key ring for the original stock plastic tab on the lid... Melts.) in a Walmart Strap Water Bottle sling. Spork. I can put cordage in that and some high intensity lighters, plus bics. It is almost like one of those round things the Germans used in WW II. 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.

[@mattburleson2651]

I’ve loved your videos for past 5-6 years. Stop worrying about catering to everyone. Just keep doing what you’ve been doing and we’ll be happy. I’ve been able to teach my daughters about camping and my coworkers about knots. Very useful information. My questions about this video: would your phone not be the number one item for getting help headed your way? And, if one of your tasks is to chop your path through half mile of brush using the compass to get to a road, would you consider a machete type device for this pack?

[@55Quirll]

I agree, the videos won't appeal to everyone and not everything in the video is what some people will carry, watch the video and tailor it to suit your needs, the idea is sound, you just have to make it to suit you, good points you made

[@commonsensepatriot9450]

Most of the get home bag videos are just unrealistic, in my opinion. That's mainly because they develop a scenario that's just as unrealistic. This one breeches that gap. Now, it's up to everyone to apply the concept to their most likely scenario. Thanks for another great video. Semper Fi

[@DavGre]

That’s because so many people end up watching KZbin videos that sell the latest and “greatest” bugout merch, not the strategy itself. Honestly, the people who aren’t testing their kits and tweaking their load to match expected common scenarios, are the ones who are going to be just as screwed as those who did zero preparation.

[@commonsensepatriot9450]

@@DavGre agreed! From what I see most of the time, they need to put some fitness in their kit before they worry about anything else, but then Cpl Kelly's scenario was based on being 25 miles out in the woods to start with. Most won't do that either.

[@TheCoolwhipped]

@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]

@TheCoolwhipped all good points for sure. My trust in electronic devices only goes so far though, and unfortunately, that's about as far as my trust in people goes too. I believe they should both be alternatives to self reliance. JMHO

[@TheCoolwhipped]

@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.

[@philomat666]

[@utubeape]

For your filtration system, to keep track of when you should change the filter you would get approx 345 fills of 24oz to 65 vgallon, so buy a small bottle of some kind of vitamin pill thats a years worth, remove 20 then eat one pill each time you fill the water container

I've been one for only a few years and just had my renewal go through this month, but I feel like I have so many new questions for you and your experiences, beyond things relating to bushcraft

[@brianbrinegar6086]

Grail water purification: If you are drinking a gallon each day, it is good for 65 days of continuous use. Or, 5 x 24oz = 1 gallon, if it filters 65 gallons, it can be filled 325 times before replacing the filter... 1 mark per day on the bottle should be enough to keep track.

[@jeffburn5789]

I've been watching your videos for a couple years or more, and honestly, I'd be willing and glad to follow someone who truly knows more than me. I have a small stash of things in the trunk of my car and in my wife's car just in case. I have found myself stranded (a long time ago) at a trailhead way up the blue ridge parkway here in nc. A couple of guys happened to find us there and had blankets for the girls and coffee and food. I will never forget that day or those men who were prepared.

[@relicpathfinder2800]

As I get older I change my kit based on perceived needs and limitations. Conceptual 30 miles to get home (so two day walk at 15 miles a day... worst case scenario of rough or dangerous ground). 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.

Lifeboat water packets are a good carry they can freeze or sit in a hot car and still be used. Water bottles split when frozen, so in cold environments, they can't be left in the vehicle. The nature valley oats and honey granola bar is a favorite emergency food they are dry, so they hold up to heat and cold. I have eaten them as much as 2 years past the best by date, though I do try to rotate my stock.

I have left unopened water bottles in my truck all winter and they never burst. Now the ones that I've opened and taken a few swigs from and then recapped have froze.

[@williamirelan9332]

@tklube308 Lifeboat packets may not be what works for you. I have put them through hundreds of cycles of freeze and heat using them as ice packs instead of the blue thing that came with my lunch box. They are not cheap but with a shelf life listed as 5 years it's like buying freeze dried emergency food for me it's worth the investment to have the set and forget leaving them in my car or truck. They may be more useful in Arizona than Minnesota .

@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!!!

Shawn, my fellow Gen Xer you are showing our age with the pay phone reference. 😂

[@recall5811]

yet there are several locations all over the country and world that have them

Thanks for the great information! People don’t realize this can be customized for their own needs and situations, a lot of people don’t watch the full video…

Key word… Intent

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.

Or go through caffeine withdrawal and be free and feel I don't know ... good

[@patriotpreacher43]

@@melbea03 good advice but probably not good timing in the middle of a crises.

I love my bacco Laplanders When I turned around and bought ITIT also came with a knife It was stainless steel But after filing the rounded edge off the spine it works pretty good for a rod sparker

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.

[@recall5811]

thanks for watching

[@teebob21]

Solar panels don't charge using UV light.

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.
