What is interesting is that when you are in the field there are very few things that you actually use. You are tired and don't want to take the time or have the frustration to mess with much of anything. You want to be hydrated and warm mostly. Army 7 years and Boy Scouts about 10 years. All the small stuff and gadgets just sit in your bag.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

hydration and warmth go a long way!

@@TheSurvivalOutpost Was thinking the same thing...I'm in the desert...I pack, water, more water, food, a weapon and appropriate clothes. I use old belts like M1956 with ALICE clips...people say I'm old fashioned. I stick to 35 lbs that obviously gets lighter.

[@Ahex75]

I was in army over 25 years ago (conscript) and then it was KISS-style, of course basically budget restrictions. But nowadays these molle/pals bags with dozens of pockets, straps, items and complicated tech is manageable for military personel who live with them, but not for reservists and non military personel. And when we have seen and heard about this ukraine conflict it is still same basics as it has been in ww2 era. It is totally different from afganistan and iraq. In ukraine you don't fight 9 to 5 and go home base to have fun. It's cold and it's misery. So less extra stuff more basics warmth and water. And because those aren't pros who have worked in tight team and know everything in their team. They are older men who have been civilians and never prepared to breath and live war. And that is what it will be if war escalates in europe.

What are you on about? It's the government's duty to ensure the safety and well-being of their citizens in times of a nuclear or radiological emergency. During the Cold War, tens of thousands of them were built and many of them are still being maintained to this day. There are plenty of public shelters. Just contact your local government to find out where the closest one to you is located. You most likely have a public fallout shelter in one or multiple of the following locations: schools, community centers, and/or government offices.

[@trekker8033]

When I was in my late teens, in the Army, I could carry an 80 lb fully loaded combat pack. Later, on average, I carried a 60 lb backpack when backpacking. Realistically, most people are not comfortable with 30 or or 40 lbs unless they backpack or hike a lot! CP is a big man and obviously works out a lot, but, most of us cannot carry so much. My B.O.B weighs about 34 lbs and I am quite fit for my age. My point is, everyone needs to try out , for themselves, what they can carry, and go from there.

I grew up in the fifties and sixties and lived in some houses that were not only not insulated but some that the wind blew thru, woke up one morning with two feet of snow in the house with our beds covered, couldn't figure out why my covers were so heavy until I pushed them off and got a face full off snow, we then had to shovel the house out and shovel a path to the outhouse. Nobody died and there were many others who lived in similar situations. Imagine what the settler's lives were like. People today are just plain spoiled.

[@rnrhodes9256]

Yeah I tried that knife on the backpack shoulder thing. It took the 300 yard walk from the truck to the trailhead to realize it sucked. Messed with my peripheral vision, constantly banging my jaw on it and like you also thought of, cutting myself by accident resheathing. Plus, I would certainly lose an entire pack to a charging bear, to move quicker and hopefully create a diversion. The thought of losing my primary tool for survival and defense is not an option. And who the hell gets into basically H2H with upwards of 50lbs wobbling around on their back?!

Never leave home without a good compass and good maps. Laminate the pages if possible, make sure the compass has a ruler on it's side and bring a sharpie. When or if you find yourself in "real" woods, old growth stuff, if you lose sight of your entry point, it all looks the same, it's incredibly easy to get lost as there's almost no point of reference inside those forests. Seriously, it happens to a lot of experienced hikers and even hunters.

As an ultralite hiker who dabbles in bushcraft I have to laugh when people say their pack weighs 40-50lbs. Even in winter carrying a knife, folding saw, extra clothing, 5days food, 2litres water, Im still under 35lbs. You simply dont need all that stuff. The more knowledge you gain the lighter your pack becomes.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

well said. what does your sleep system look like? that's usually where most people incur the most weight

[@__-pl3jg]

@@TheSurvivalOutpost - I splurge on sleep gear because I feel sleep is the most important tool I have. I experimented with hammocks for many months even sleeping in them full time while at home. I eventually came to the conclusion that ground sleeping is more comfortable and will ALWAYS weigh less. So right now im using the Nemo Tensor regular size sleeping pad and whatever goose down blanket I happen to have...Usually a 30°f Enlightened top quilt. I've been slowly training my neck muscles to not require a pillow by using thinner and thinner pillows while at home. But if I feel the need for a pillow I usually stuff my down jacket into a dry bag at night. Of course if doing bushcraft you have to make all your sleep gear with leaves and sticks or simply lay on the ground by the fire. Bushcraft tends to require more days in the field which also requires setting out trap lines to gather calories. So you stay in one place. I prefer to travel so Im usually thru hiking unless on private property.

As someone somewhat new to prepping, I've realized you have to take all the prepping channel content in stride and adapt it to your own situation. Personally I feel that the Grey man approach is the best in my rural area but also being involved in the Scouts with my children I do find the more hiking style packs look more "Grey" than the 5.11 Tactical style packs. Even this pack is not bad as the side straps could hold trekking poles and items that would make most people just think camping stuff.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

welcome to the club. as long as you train with your gear and get better that will put you way ahead of the pack.

[@brianb8003]

There is no such thing as a "grey man" backpack. In a non-crisis situation, no one cares what your backpack is. No one even notices it. Jansport or tacticool... no one cares. It can be covered in molle or be bright pink. It doesn't matter. And in a crisis situation, *ANY* backpack sends one, and only one message: "I have more stuff on me than I can carry." No matter what backpack you have there's only one thing being shown. You have water, you have food, you have warmth, you have gear. You can't conceal the fact you're carrying 15/20/35lbs worth of stuff. The "grey man" concept is blending in with everyone else. But when "everyone else" is in dire straits, then the guy with stuff can't "blend in".

Good review, each person has a different bug out bag, but many don’t talk about possibly losing the bag days into your bug out. You should have a small sling type or belt mount bag with the absolute necessary survival gear that’s separate. His pack is set up for his comforts, and he obviously knows where he’s bugging too. The external frame you mentioned is an absolute. Get a pack that supports you with a few extras. Don’t hang what you may need on the outside, it gets lost, snagged, or worse, injures you. Each person or family member should be carrying something with them in comfort. This includes the dog if you have one or more. Do not put absolute necessities on the dog! You may lose one or both, keep light, mobile, and be adept at the use of every piece of gear you have, knife, gun,striker flint, tape, etc. Know a dozen ways to use items not designed for their known purpose. Accept,Adapt, Overcome, and DONT DIE. Cheers

He should think more about well placed caches than a ginormous bob.

I think in terms of 8 pillars of survival: shelter, fire, water, medical, communications/signaling, navigation, food,and personal protection. Then I build my kits from there, to cover all those bases. Canadian Prepper has created a shopping mall/ Amazon conglomeration of “stuff”, which while all good, to a point, is “stuff centric”. I rate this kit about a 5 out of 10, a lot of “gee whiz” stuff kind of just thrown together.

Add the water, then put the meal inside your shirt next to your skin. It won't get hot, but at least it won't be totally cold. Rate the bag a 2 on your scale.

[@jimvick8397]

After backpacking and mountaineering in the PNW, and being a big guy who sweats amazing amounts... I learned very quickly that for any multi day anything a roll top waterproof backpack nesting everything in wet/dry bags was essential to keeping dry so I could keep moving. This includes extra empty wet dry bags so wet stuff could be isolated inside the pack until you could dried it out. Any normal backpack with an over the top rain cover will not cut it and are frankly a total hassle... Fact is, the largest pack I will use a stupid rain cover on is my Northface Megamouth 18 for day hikes. Anything larger and they are all roll top waterproof packs. One can fit an awesome loadout in a Arc'teryx Acrux 50... And a few advantages to this particular pack, all of your gear is secured dry inside the pack so you can bushwhack through the wettest bushes without risk of losing anything and in a pinch the pack could be used to float across a river, God forbid you had to...

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Yes 💯 a rain cover and dry bags is HUGE here in Florida and ofc the PNW. Great point and it’s good to know that those additions add weight but hey staying DRY is vital

[@pennsyltuckyreb9800]

Agreed, brother. Over time, I've slowly started moving into the dry bag packs for a year round solution. (Apparently, Canadian outdoorsman have been on this trend for awhile now) I'm in Northern PA Appalachia. It's pretty much wet here as well most of the year (nothing like the PNW, obviously....unless you get closer west to the Great Lakes). I also frequent family in the Smoky Mountains, and coastal SC and FL. I'm tired of the pack cover/poncho over the pack BS and as you mentioned, sweating as well. And crossing deep creeks and rivers is a frequent affair in the mountains here not to mention flooding situations. I'm looking into around the 45 L or so dry packs with the hip belts. I was turned onto "Ortlieb" waterproof packs and some others. Costs a pretty penny though. There's the ultralight (hyper lite) packs out there too but they all seem to only think about nice hiker paths and not having to cross major waterways which becomes a major reality in a SHTF situation. There's a HUGE advantage of having everything in an already waterproof pack and even being able to just chuck it in water and float on it across water. There's always the internal dry bags but it's not the same. You're still wetting and making heavier conventional material packs.

But wouldn't any backpack stay dry if you just wore a poncho over it... sence you'd wanna wear one in the rain anyway???

[@pennsyltuckyreb9800]

@@evalopez2700 Yeah. But what if you have to ford a larger river? What if you need to stop and setup camp while it's pouring? Take the poncho off..pack off..now it's getting soaked. The ground is soaked. You're trying to quickly setup shelter to get your gear back under.... I mean, you can also just use a waterproof bag inside the pack too. But there is a major advantage and convenience of having all your stuff separately waterproof and able to float.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

@@evalopez2700 a poncho is effective under light rain but as rain intensifies or time in the rain goes long, you will 100% get wet and soaked. One needs a rain cover on the pack and then everything bagged into dry bags or at bare min ziplocks sealed with duct tape

Wet weather gear.Sleeping bag, bivvy bag, tarp, Sleeping mat. General purpose knife, folding knife (or multi tool). Small shovel or E tool. Cups canteen or pot. Water bottles, water filter. Booboo kit. Lighter. Cordage. Dry bags. Thats about it, 20 to 25 Kgs without water, food or ammo. Thats about it. Had food and water resup in the Army, these days I hunt and forage. Nothing fancy, just the basics. After that: improvise, adapt and overcome. The golden rule is "you have to carry it" Your recipe may vary.

[@feoxorus]

You'll be ditching stuff in 2 hours, dehydrated in 12 and weak from hunger after 24. Toss all that crap except your knife, a piece of 550 cord and a lighter. Add a HD trash bag, food, water filter and metal bottle. A spare mag for your PDW, but if you need more than that you've already made some major mistakes to end up in that situation. You won't be digging a fighting position, you're going to run from danger. Backpackers know that POUNDS=PAIN. Always your get-home bag should be in agreement with your distance from home, and that should be your primary goal. Comfort is not something you need to consider if you're within a couple days' walk from home. Warm weather vs. cold, so change your gear out with the seasons. A 150-mile walk in January is totally different from July.

[@AV4Him]

To add to my previous comment, how can he put his knife on his belt? His pack has a hip belt. Perhaps he could use a chest harness for his knife.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Great question. In retrospect I should have mentioned my rig in the video but forgot. I use a 2 inch drop on my sheath so it clears the hip belt.

[@lopezmj7]

I can travel up to 300 mile in one direction for work. My vehicle get home bag is setup based on spring/summer or fall/winter weather. The goal of this bag is to get home as quickly as possible if I have to ditch my vehicle. So, in my vehicle I always have a firearm, Esse Izula knife, hat, jacket and comfortable hiking boots. The set up for my bag is a large knife, bank cordage, titanium firebox stove, lighter, hammock, flashlight, water bladder/with filter, titanium cup, basic medical, food that I cycle through a thin 10x10 lightweight tent footprint for a tarp change of socks and underwear.

[@OnusBones]

I thought that was a fair treatment. I do not know Nate (Canadian Prepper) personally, but from his videos, I'm inclined to believe he lives where he will indeed have good access to water. He has also demonstrated enough bushcraft skills that he probably can make use of everything in the pack. He probably also has his route(s) planned out and does not anticipate belly-crawling through brush or otherwise getting snagged while bugging out from "A" to "B". While I could not carry a 50 lb. pack very far at all, he is a lot younger and in much better shape. His pack would be way over the top for me, but may be close to ideal for him; a score of "4" for me, but probably "9" for him. As you say, each person needs to build a pack to meet his own needs (and limitations).

Much of the items in it I rarely ever used, and that's because after all these decades & decades & decades (I'm 59 years old), there was never a need to use my "Bug-Out" bag.... During my cross country Van Camping ventures (on & off for 40 years exploring 48 States & most of Canada), sure, I do carry my essentials & some emergency equipment, but I never once needed my emergency equipment, so just my regular essentials is all I ever needed.... When I go hiking, I don't need a water filter or a bladder because I already have water in my van and I drink up before the hike, and I bring along my water bottle, and during my travels, I eat breakfast, lunch & dinner at restaurants, but I may take some snacks on the trail along with my Bear Spray & 357 attached to my waist strap.... Sure, I can understand that some hikes can be long and bad things can happen, but this video is about BUG OUT BAGS, not Hiking Bags... LOL.... Well, maybe someday WW3 or a 2nd Civil War or a HUGE TERRORIST ATTACK may happen due to the Dem/Lib Open Borders, or maybe the Yellowstone SUPER VULCANO will erupt destroying America, Canada, and other countries, and maybe perhaps The ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, like in the Michael Jackson THRILLER will come crawling out of places to bite & eat people... I don't know, or maybe a REAL LEGITAMATE PANDEMIC will happen, not a fake one, like the 2020/2021, and maybe then I will need a Bug Out bag.

[@sektion333]

One of the things with a bugout bag is you may put the kit together with gear you like, but you may never touch the kit all year other than to swap out batteries and items with expiration dates. So therefore some tools won't be used at all, but you may be using them regularly in your day to day kits.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

that's why its important to get that gear in the field at least once a month or a few times at year a bare min to stay sharp and get better.

[@alphabears6342]

It’s simple. I use the 10 C’s of survival plus the 5 extra for the bail out bag. Also, it’s one thing to have a bail out bag but do you actually have a plan? Where do you go to? Do you have a preplanned route and area to stay? Do you have a family and do they have a bail out bag? Do they know where to meet if not together? And more. I used to have a bail out bag until I figured out that staying put and defending my area is way easier and simpler then bugging out.

Yes I agreed, bugging out should be the last resort.

My girly bug out bag, which I started while living in the city of Toronto, Ontario. For starters, it was put together, kinda for fun (for a 3 day period), in case I ever had to leave the city. So, for my Bug out bag, this is what is in it so far. It has a couple of 'life straws', map of Toronto (Paper), energy bars, first aid kit, sewing kit, bug spray, compass, full body mosquito suits, (my knife-which attaches to my belt), rain ponchos/jacket, those foil blankets, exploding towels (the ones that are compact until they hit water, wooden matches, a tarp with small bundle of nylon rope, and one of those small folding saws, for branches, if I ever need to attempt to make a lean-to, and one of those flashlights, that you can shake if the battery dies.....so far thats it.

I can chop, split and shave wood, and dig, tend fire, and can use it as a baton against humans with the Cordura sheath on it. Pocket knife is plenty. I use an SOL Mylar heat sheet pinned to a poncho liner, as a sleeping blanket ( Mylar against me) as thermal blanket or thermal barrier to block the sun or infrared devices. I also carry a poncho and folding zip matt. I pack food that doesn’t require any cooking to reduce my signature, and a water filter and several badder bags, 16 and 32 oz. And one aluminum canteen and cup, utensils. And few other items. And I just picked up the $200 One Shot USA non NFA pistol brace to turn my Glock into a carbine in 3 seconds . I enjoyed the vid.

Came for the review, stayed for the "that's what she said" jokes. 😂👌 When one of the first things you pointed out was the unpractical practice of strapping all kinds of gear to the outside of the pack, I knew this would be a video with some sense! And, boy, was I right. Very well done! This is a fair assessment of the video in question, provides helpful information, and points out (among other things) that buying gear just for the sake of having gear, is not the most helpful. You gotta go out and test your gear, walk around with it and see what you works for you. (Full disclosure: the gear in my pack is usually brand new, but that's only because I will use a product for a long while and if I like it, can trust it, then I'll buy another to keep in my pack. But everything goes through the paces, which is the spirit of what the video said, I think.) Side note: I'm never mad at KZbinrs making money from selling items/merch/whatever (get that bag, baby!), as long as the information they provide and items they recommend/sell are good, genuine, practical, and would benefit the user even if the KZbinr wasn't selling anything.

Two spare black garbage bags, a third around my horse blanket on the outside of my pack.

I also carry and empty pillow case, good sack if need be but I put spare clothes or jacket in it for a pillow when bunking down. The one new thing I've added is night vision, it's just nice to have and obviously discrete, unlike a giant beam of flashlight.

Having all he has is a great feat in and of itself, although in my opinion when shtf you're probably not gonna need half those items anyways. If the grid collapses, the radio and other electronics won't mean anything. I personally have gone out hiking for a day with gear that were just totally unnecessary, and even though it was great for carrying gear and seeing how well I can keep the pace, I noticed how I felt quite tired afterwards, and I didn't even use 1/4 of the pack. I'm getting back into prepping a bit more now again, and with a new fresh mindset I've decided to go minimal, take time over a weekend, test my setup, then add or remove what I don't need, and build upon that setup for an optimal pack that could keep me going for days while I work on building the necessary / required skills to last for days / weeks or more if needs be. There's definitely a tonne of stuff I need to focus on, work out, plan and prepare for, but all with good time for sure. Also, I enjoyed CP's content earlier on, but with the "unnamed event" from 2020 onwards, it seems like there's been a bit of a content shift, which became irrelevant to the information I was seeking. Either way, great guy to an extent, but I'd rather see his channel more as a discussion / talk / gear review type channel instead of practical adventures and examples. Either way, just my personal 2c lol Also, things I'd have loved to see from his pack was a sleeping system, not just a blanket and a bivvy. Pair of clothes as you mentioned, a repair kit, and I'd probably have exchanged the electronics for a couple more practical equipment for survival in the event of bugging out turning into a civil unrest situation, because we all know how manic humans can be when certain resources are low, or demands aren't met... I know how crazy it can be, I'm from a place where these things do happen, I'm just lucky enough to not have been in the center of outbreaks 🙈😅 anyways, keep the informative and honest videos coming, they're exactly what we need in today's day and age

Your point about hanging so many snag-ready items off the pack and the pack's resulting heavier weight is certainly true, first and foremost. Actual survivalists force themselves outside in a non-camping way to learn over time what is really needed in a bag and what is dead weight that would most often work against your survival. As you learn skills rooted in actual survivalism, especially bushcrafting, you develop clear skills on how to live on the most basic of supplies, which is always the path actual survivalists are on.

[@gregstarr2954]

Ha! I totally agreed with you mate! No previous military experiences and trying to show us how we should survive during SHTF or end of the world event! Ya… try running around with that pack of his!!!

I believe what you carry should be reflective to your skill sets. Some people may be able to leave some of these things out and replace them with other items. But, if you are relatively unskilled you're probably going to have to rely on the more gadgety type packing consisting of the items eliminating work and decisions.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Yup definitely so…the newbie will lean more to gear and gadgets initially however if they train and get better, the gear choices should reflect that experience

[@jeremystanton382]

@@TheSurvivalOutpost yeah, hopefully if someone really is interested, they'll actually go out for 2 or 3 days and use their stuff. That's the only way to figure out what is most important. The three things I'm ok with spending more money on are fire, shelter and water. By all means, if you're going to splurge, splurge on those three things.

[@009013M3]

I love the Canadian Prepper! He's so fun. I watch him for entertainment while I'm riding my stationary bike during lunch break when I need a break from Star Trek or The X Files. I'm not sure I'd recommend him to any of my friends who was new to prepping though.

Thank you for making this video. Trust is such a rare commodity on KZbin. When you've got 10x the subs, please keep your feet on the ground and stay real.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Glad you liked it. My goal was two fold with this new form of content. First I wanted to provide a fair and balanced critique of his kit. Secondly I wanted to created a form of content I have never seen in this prepper / survivalist space and hopefully in the process expand my audience and also have fun making new content. Seems like the gamble paid off, I plan on doing these style of React videos more often maybe one a month or every few months. I'm doing the best I can just for today to stand grounded and provide real world actionable content that can hopefully help others. Thanks for the support!

[@richardloo6572]

Alice backpack with external frame is my go to BOB. Paid $30 for it. My pack is about 65 lbs for winter, 40-45lbs for spring ,summer & fall. Canadian Prepper is a sales man . Most of the items he sells are high dollar items. What ever pack you have & the items you have in it. Go out to the woods & use it. Soon enough you'll know what works for you & what doesn't. Their are way to many arm chair preppers that have all kinds of gear that they haven't used it once yet. In reality most preppers bugging out will die in short order. Knowledge & experience is key to surviving. Food , water, medicine, shelter & tools . Practice with your gear often. Don't be a couch potato preper, it won't keep you alive when SHTF happens. My 2 pennies / 2 cents for all it's worth !

[@austinmesta9862]

6:45 I used to carry like 40 to 50 pounds of stones and iron scrap in a normal Jansport backpack for school. It held up fine for years and allowed me to easily do weighted pullups. I also wore it for uphill hiking every 3rd or 4th leg day.

[@TinyGoHomes]

Everyone has their bag set for different reasons, environments, financial position, experience levels and countries you reside. Also most of us have vehicles we will use first, we’re not going to just grab a bag and leave. My bag is 60lbs because of the winter environment I live in. I also have a bin in my vehicle that is 40lbs. You will more than likely have your vehicle and your bag so you can change on the fly depending on the situation. The important part is having everything you need. I can change too a 30lbs set up quite fast and at the same time also carry my full bag and the bin if I need everything and have to leave my vehicle.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

sounds like a great setup and flexible per the season. Winter kit is always goin be a bit heavier. I've managed to cut weight from my sleep system by invested in cold weather issue thermals. When combined with a mylar bivy sack and heavy jacket, I'm fine down to the low 20s. No sleeping bag required.

[@TinyGoHomes]

@@TheSurvivalOutpost that definitely a decent way to save weight if your leaving your vehicle.

[@TinyGoHomes]

@@TheSurvivalOutpost I’m building a shtf nomad trailer this summer. Something to sleep, shit, eat and carry the rest of my camping and survival gear. I can use it for fun like camping and travel but also have it stocked for survival situations where I can grab and go and have everything with me I need.

[@DevDog67]

@@TinyGoHomes As long as you don't have to worry about going off-road too much - a small camping trailer (emphasis on small) that is well-stocked, is brilliant. Especially if you made provisions for storing extra fuel and had a solar setup on the trailer to charge communications devices or power something like a small stove or heater.

Nice to see someone else reacting to the Canadian Prepper. I always thought he is over the top with his videos and you are breaking it down very well. 👍 And yes, he is totally into fear porn. 😆 What do you think about the "Koppeltragegestell" system (german), like the soldiers have? You'd still have some gear, when your bagback was lost.

Over the top? Like the disposable wet wipes? How much utility per ounce do you get with those? Total fluff!

Three things that I'm gonna concentrate on before SHTF are, digging a twelve foot hole to nowhere and the second thing is to mow a meadow to make it look like a New York City park and lastly i'm gonna order tons and tons of rocks to spread around my "Property" and video myself shoveling two or three shovel fulls in a mud hole to make it look like i'm working my fingers to the bone and the women can write comments feeling sorry for me and telling me I need to take a break and rest up for about three weeks.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

hmmm interesting strategy.

[@reidrobicheau9661]

I absolutely love canadian prepper, I have noticed all his gear is clean though and I prefer tested and tried products. You made a lot of very good points, i'm going to watch more of your videos. Greatest valued lesson I learned in this video is to have a more concealed bag. My bag is always getting caught on things in the wilderness, which would be a dire situation if I was being chased.

[@effeojnedib7208]

Bug out gear is great. But the most important bug out gear is located on top of the shoulders, between the ears. Knowledge and skills. Money and gear will never replace training. CP puts out an image of a man and his trusty dog, walking along the waters edge. I picture a bug out situation as trying to remain covert and hidden, no dog to bark and give up location. Obviously, bugging out is not my option #1. lol Doing it on foot, nope.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Well said!

The Canadian Prepper is Nostradomus and he will be proven right! Head over to his massive warehouse and stock up asap! Plus, he is kinda cute

CP is great. His fear stuff, ya sure it gets views, but its a part of his dry sense of humor , and his demeaner. You watch him for awhile you get it. If you want to get detailed news of what's going on out there, you go to him. You do not have to agree with his opinions, but his news is top notch. He is a very bright person and I watch his show every single day. I recommend for any prepper.

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

About food. There's a Swedish company that make field rations for the military but also have for civilians. 24 hour meal, it contains well above what you need for 24 hours. And some neals comes a soft packs that you just rip the top off and eat. There's "heating pouches" so you can heat them up but it's not necessary. They includes nuts, chewing gum, chocolate bars, peanutbutter, tona mix, hard candy, instant coffee, lenom muffins etc beside three whole meals. Only thing missing is cigaretts, whiskey and beer.

Bag build 3/10. Too much compromise of priority kit. Think be warm be dry be well fed., # shelter / insulation /pot & stove.. Sundries kit,# See in the dark / ablutions / medicate / repair/ navigate. Wet & dries # Water proof layers, and warm layers. The ability to protect from danger. A 3 day bug out requires 3 days of food, adapt to duration. The above applies to both my trekking pack and my bug out bag, but one of them is quarter the weight of the other. 40/50 lbs is a slow tab over a distance, my trekking pack I can cover more ground faster, but the penalty is the kit is less robust. However I have trekked 93 miles over 5 days (On trail With no Issues) making my harbour in woodland and fields. A more robust tactical pack and kit will however be more beneficial off trail, with the risk I can not out pace pursuers. My final bug out build is a hybrid combination of lighter weight shelter and insulation, paired with a Bergen. The argument of a tactical looking pack or large Bergen attracting unwanted attention is of course personal opinion. A reliance on kit heavy components, is down to the fact of lack of knowledge to adapt and overcome potential problems that may arise. A compact 25-litre pack equipped with a warm jacket, a tarp, and a fire-making kit can sustain overnight, though it may limit other capabilities, and is more beneficial to a true survivalist with a large knowledge base. A true survivalist will be accomplished in making fire to stay warm, and shelter build with no tooling. A prepper conversely is like a snail, carrying his/her home on his/her back.
