Is there any chance we can see the knight's armament LAMG go against the Sig Sauer mg338. I know they have different calibers but, otherwise seem to address similar issues. Sorry I know it was unrelated to your topic.

Mrs.IraqVeteran8888 thanks!

My Go-Bag is full of cloths pretty much... I might have to deal with -15 degree nights up in the north... I try to picture my truck breaking down in the middle of one of those nights, and now that the seasons are shifting I'm gonna have to re-look at my bag and throw it in the car.

[@TheresOnlyOneWayToRock]

Thanks for this video. My son came very close to a bugout situation earlier this year. He is away at college studying towards a medical degree. I've been of a prepared mind for a few decades and he himself helped to set up his older sister's bugout bag when she was away in school, so he understood the importance and significance of a bugout bag. In short his school asked the students to leave campus at the onset of the Covid crisis. My wife and I live part-time abroad and he was facing travelling and fending for himself under uncertain conditions for a few days as they were talking about limiting travel. All worked out and he is back at school now, oh, I almost forgot his school is near Seattle. Yeah, that was the reality he was facing. Anyway thanks again.

I believe Ivan is referencing Scho-ka-kola. It's a caffeine and chocolate ration that comes in a metal tin. It's still for sale today. I think Steve1989 did a segment on it on his channel.

[@bavarianshooter]

[@jts7054]

Panzerschokolade is what was used in wwii. Meth instead of the caffeine.

[@D4rkc14ymor3]

@@jts7054 Yep, they replaced it with caffeine because junkies in tanks isn't always good. Pervitin was also commonly given to soldiers during a "blitz", its the drug cocktail Hitler took that is also made around methamphetamine. LOL

A handful of new bic lighters, a roll of duct tape, something compact for inclement weather. Check out silky saws. You will never look back. Comfort pills for aches, poops and allergies. Stretch and wrap tourniquets are small , multi use and cheap. Bandaids, gauze and tape. Never enough tape. Everyone should have some sort of emergency kit in their vehicle.

You could save space by putting the towels or some cliff bars inside of the life straw bottle

Definitely. An empty container in a go bag is wasted space

[@eagleone5456]

[@joeschmo5403]

The german ration mentioned around 24:20 is scho ka kola its delicious i always keep some for my bag.... or as a replacement for coffee

[@D4rkc14ymor3]

Yep, the modern version is chocolate and caffeine. But he is referencing panzerschokolade, which is chocolate with methamphetamine. Germans also routinely gave their soldiers a "vitamin pill" called pervitin which contained meth as well during offensive operations. Hitler also routinely took pervitin as a daily "pick me up".

[@joeschmo5403]

Thanks for the correction didnt know a product like that existed 👍

When eric said you can use a little sunscreen for chapstick, that is very much true. When i was younger i got sunscreen in a chapstick container and i didnt realize it was sunscreen and used it for over a year as chapstick where i realized nearly a year later it was sunscreen. I always wondered why that "chapstick" tasted funny. But it worked.

[@christopherblakeley]

Eric, Foodsaver is your friend! Vacuum seal a lot of that stuff and you know it will be easier to carry. And, things like lotions, chocolate like to leak or melt! Excellent video 👍

[@christopherblakeley]

[@Fightosaurus]

Constructive criticism only for a dude I respect a ton, but consider multi use items! A shemagh can serve as a pack towel, yes, but also a sling, bandage, small bag, shelter component, improvised filter media, even a TQ in an emergency. Those pack towels are “neat” and comfy, but value for pack weight is much lower IMO.

[@sethrad8626]

So, what you’re advising is to use some common sense, stay alert, keep thinking, and be willing and able to adjust and adapt. Keep learning and applying the knowledge gained to your Go Bag. I might suggest one thought...one’s bag should understand one’s surroundings. For example: If the ambient temperature is cold and weather inclement, adjust your bag for the environment. Furthermore: If you live in a desert, carry more liquids. If you like in/near lakes, forests, carry less water but something else to keep you alive. If you’re watching IV8888, then you’re likely already ahead of the game in knowing how to respond appropriately.

[@RyanIsRad427]

Forgive me if I spoke too early I'm about half way thru and dont know if this was mentioned but I think a pack or two of baby wipes would be great, you could clean yourself very well without having to use precious water, just a thought!

[@polaritypictures]

Go to the 99 cent store or the travel section of the market or target to get smaller size items like the sunscreen to carry around, You don't need a huge bottle to carry around. Also get some travel containers filled with handsoap/shampoo. Also use the space that's empty like the water bottle and fill it with other items. put your lotions/soaps, ect in a plastic bag so it doesn't leak in your bad if it pops open. put electrical tape over any batteries that you carry so it doesn't short out. carry a package of moistened baby wipes! It's handy to clean everything off! Put dates on all your food, and choose smaller bags. You have too much food! get rid of 2/3 of it use the space for other items! Think of three days worth no more!

[@whitehummus3772]

Whatever the bag size people will fill it up or look to which means you end up carrying more than you might need because you are looking to fill space and not fill for purpose and need.

I don't think this is very good advice in my opinion. Why not be prepared for the worst?

[@christopherblakeley]

That's great for you....not for everyone. I take it you were born in 1989......I was born in 1951, have rheumatoid arthritis in my feet and definitely am not going to be lugging a 50lb pack 15mi. One size or opinion does not fit all.

Have to disagree. While it is important to know your own skill level and not overreach... In a shtf scenario... You don't know that you won't run into someone with medical skills who didn't prep. I have never sewn a human. But I keep a skin stapler and a suture kit. Maybe I will learn by the time I need to if ever. But maybe I will hook up with a trained pro who can use what I have and they don't. Just saying. Equipment saves lives. That includes guns and medical. Imho

[@billyblue922]

Lol. My ex thought I was nuts when I gave her a skin stapler. But.. it's not unlikely to run into a doc, nurse or paramedic. Ma,pa.. many these days either are certified or are studying... But the students or displaced pros can't use their skills without equipment. I respect not using it if you don't have the skills. But having it on hand could save you should you find the right friend....

My truck blanket is a cotton blanket from mexico. Cheap. Effective. And there is a plastic spare tbh. Also also.. lol your pal has a good point.. something is better than nothing. I started by keeping water in my vehicles because I grew up in az. Next.. basic bandaids in each one. Built on that. Rope? My old beat u0 truck plus a rope saved an old couple in a tiny import. They were stalled out on a hill and his plan was to back to the lake lol. When I showed up there was a guy already there with a much stronger truck.. he could beat me in a pull. But I had rope. He was badged out with his shops logo. I'm a geek. But my old truck with rope and know-how made his giant truck useless.
