Hey there, Lilly :) I was wondering if you'd do a sort of challenge video where you have to make a Survival kit/Bug out bag/ Emergency kit for 100$. It would be interesting to watch!

For urban survival, you should always carry some money. Cash is king.

[@Papasmokes875]

I have some silver coins also.

[@zedex1226]

What would you want to buy? Carry that instead.

[@krakent8791]

That I can't deny.

[@1111-t5n]

Instead of carrying cash carry seeds tomato beans corn barley hops lettuce and Mary Jane. and those will be worth more than money or gold, silver, tungsten.

[@Billy123bobzzz]

After having been stuck in elevators, many subway trains, two hurricanes, many blizzards, two large scale black outs, several small and one huge earthquake, I've honed what I carry down to what has proven to be valuable, usable and not burdensome. -Pepper spray should never be in the backpack because its inaccessible, it should be close to your hand and you should be able to deploy it instantly. -I also carry glow sticks but after testing -Several small Water bottles, because a sealed water bottle is very valuable and can be used as currency or barter item. -Several small protein bars, because a sealed food is very valuable and can be used as currency or barter item. -A cell phone is obviously useful but do not depend on it working, the battery will run out quickly because you'll be making calls and looking p maps plus the cell phone towers might be running ion they operate on battery power but in past disasters we have seen many towers stop working altogether because they do not have emergency generator power for each tower. We have also noticed that in a disaster, all the phone line capacity at the phone company gets used up and you cannot get a phone call out. I suggest text one person who is outside the affected area and have them rely your message to everyone else. If it doesn't go through then just retry sending a fresh message every half hour. -A good first aid kit. add to a commercial kit (they never have every thing you need). Make sure to have enough bandages. I add a tube of zinc oxide cream (12% or stronger, its useful as a sunblock and is great at calming skin irritations. Imodium (loperamide HCI) in case of diarrhea and activated Charcoal (in case of other stomach or intestinal problem such as food poisoning), -waterproof note pad (its specialized paper that doesn't fall apart and holds the pencil or ink without them running or smearing) -Several zip lock backs in different sizes. -Thin plastic poncho -Space Sleeping Bag (keep you clean when you sleep on floors, you might find other things in the city to keep you warm but they might not be clean, this forms a protective layer and is very small, compact and lightweight. -A small aluminum, high quality LED flashlight that runs on a single CR123 battery -A few spare CR123 Lithium batteries -A roll of coins inside a knotted sock. If people are still accepting money you should have as much small coins and small bulls as possible so you can pay a fair price for what you want. If all you carry are large bills then the price for anything you want will be at least one of those bills (no one will make change in disasters, I've seen it happen). For women, that roll of coins in the sock is easy to swing and be be used effectively as a self defense tool. Keep the sock where its easily accessible. -Firesteel -Lighter (the lighter will run out of fuel and could fail, the firesteel will last well beyond any disaster and is reliable). -Chargers. I would add these last and I have included automotive adaptors so I can charge from any cars I find on my journey. In a true disaster the electrical grid will not be operating for hours or days so you will not be able to plug into the wall to get power. There are millions cars that you can plug into to get power. Be nice, don't break someone's windows to get inside their car for power unless you life is in jeopardy. Also be aware that many new cars turn off the power outlets when the engine is not running. Some of them leave one outlet on inside the armrest or glove box. Try them all until you find one that works, leave their car clean and close the door when you are done so the car stays intact. -A change of clothing, socks and underwear. Preferable in due colors and patterns that does not stand out and that does not look tactical, so you're not noticed and not spotted as someone who is well equipped. -A hat, floppy and lightweight is ok -Sunglasses. Since presumably you will be walking a lot, the sunglasses could be a bog help. I carry at ;east two inexpensive pairs (that are rated to block 100% UVA and UVB) so in case I run into someone that wants to trade for something I need then to becomes currency for me. NOTES: -The "tactical" edge on a "tactical" flashlight is called a crenellated bezel. I don't bother with it because smashing car windows is far harder than it seems, you are more likely to slice your arm open if you are able to break it at all (there are plenty of videos on youtube of people failing to break a car window which using a hammer, so you can imagine that a lightweight, a soft aluminum flashlight is far less likely to work. If you want break glass then include a RESQME in your pack, its tiny, weighs next to nothing, and with a tiny amount of effort it can shatter even a toughened automotive window. Its very hard to stun a human with a lightweight aluminum flashlight even if it has a crenellated bezel, our skulls are very tough. You might be able to break the skin slightly and bleed a tiny amount but in a battle they probably won't realize it and won't be dissuaded from an attack. If you are going to hit them, use some with with a lot more weight than a 4 ounce flashlight and use all your strength to defend your life. -Strobe modes for defense are BS. By the time that you realize that you need it you will not be able to stand there and get the flashlight into the correct mode. If you can get the flashlight on at all the just shine it into your opponents eyes as much as possible. This only works if you get a powerful light that is super easy to turn on (at least 100 lumens is available in a tiny light and it will be very blinding to your foe) and if -CR123 Lithium batteries have a 10 year shelf life. I've tested them and they really do last that long and retain most of their charge. The problem with having rechargeable batteries in your get home bag is that they will very likely be dead (discharged) on any given day, which makes then useless. USB charging is nice but in a SHTF situation the electricity goes out and you can't recharge the batteries anyway. CR123 lithium batteries are extremely easy to find in all urban environments because they are the camcorder batteries that all tourists use, so they are very easy to find. -18650 batteries are none because they have a lot of capacity but I don't cary them because it makes my flashlight twice as big and they take a very long time to charge. Since power will be hard to find, yo do not want to be exposed for the amount of time that it takes to recharge such a huge battery. A CR123 is not rechargeable, its always fully charged for its ten year lifespan so you just pop in a fresh battery and go, without being exposed. Two CR123 is the same size as one 18650 so they are more versatile. If your 18650 battery fails to take a charge or you can't find a power source then you cannot charge at all. The CR123 is so common that all grocery stores, pharmacies and tourist shops carry them. Its theoretically possible to use two CR123 inside a flashlight that was designed for a single 18650 but it depends on the flashlight, check the owners manual before attempting to do this. -Women should take Krav Maga or Aikido lessons for self defense.

[@stevencox75]

i would keep the pepper spray where you can get at it not in the backpack

[@clippertalk]

Lily, I've been watching your videos for around 2 years and I just wanted to say I'm very proud of you You're videos and skills keep gettig better and better. Keep up the great work. BTW you might want to add a men's shirt you can put on with the shemagh to better conceal your gender when need be.

[@loricollins3163]

Hi Lilly! I used your Urban Survival Kit yesterday at the Womens March in LA! Huge success. My similar backpack (rucksack) was essential to living out the day in LA on the streets with 750,000 people! Top three tools for me in order, Leatherman tool (to open zip ties on the new and locked portable bathrooms in the morning) my portable power pack charger (shared with many friends) and lastly my headlamp (torch) on the dark bus on the ride home. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@SurvivalLilly]

awesome. I am honoured that my video helped you :)

[@ClintonOrtiz]

I lived out in the woods for three months during cold months, many years ago. You just reminded me how IMPORTANT it is to have a scarf. I spent many freezing nights cursing that I didn't have a merino wool scarf that can double as a warm blanket for your face, because it can get that cold. It is definitely one of the basic necessities.

[@marytica123]

SAD TO SAY, many people have little or no "emergency items" in their cars. I had to practically force my own sons to start carrying the basic "road trouble" gear - jumper cables, tool kit, first aid kit, flashlight/lantern. Lilly's backpack wouldn't take up much space in her car, or even on her back when she bikes. People are too fashion conscious - worrying they won't look "cool" or "sexy" because they carry something besides a little sequined purse.

[@2012spacetraveler]

Shouldn't the pepper spray be more readily accessible especially considering the unsavory characters that are flooding into the area

[@SurvivalLilly]

+2012spacetraveler yes of course, but I cant have everything ready, I dont have big pockets in my jeans, but at least I have a blade at my side :D

[@stribor695]

+Survival Lilly I think the pepper spray you have there has a clip on for the belt

[@stribor695]

+Survival Lilly Can you please answer my question on the other video you posted, I asked about a knife you use in the video, the model and the brand, thank you very much Liily. I am kind of a survival enthusiast and I am new to all of this so I am gathering info about the gear I could hopefully aford to buy :) have a great weekend :)

[@SurvivalLilly]

[@locouk]

Pepper spray is currently illegal in the UK which is kind of daft IMO.

[@johnsanders186]

Nice kit Lily....Don't pay attention to people who say "you should have this, you should have that".....because you can't carry everything otherwise you will look like a snail carrying all kinds of stuff around... and if you could carry EVERYTHING around thats "essential" you would need a van or a bus to carry it, not a pack lol. Good job :)

[@Taromovies]

You are prepared Lilly!!! all good stuff!!! Wish you a great weekend, Taro

[@northernselfreliance6943]

Hey Lilly great video. A consideration you should have for your urban bag is a mini pry bar. In a situation where you would be using the bag you will most likely need to pry something open sooner or later. Maybe a subway train door for example. You can also use it to dig. They can be bought at any hardware store normally.

[@bennyrempel5366]

[@EmancipatedSquirrel]

Neat video! That 18650 usb charger is a great idea. I have seen a few of the chinese knockoffs floating around ebay and amazon. I'm looking for an AA alternative though. I had given my father a flashlight that used lithium batteries which exploded in his pocket a few winters ago. Ever since my fondness for lithium based flashlights has deminished. Also the availability of cr123 or 18650 batteries are lower around my city so sourcing them in an emergency would be harder. Cheers from across the pond!

Thanks Lilly. I had a friend, ask me about urban survival. I just forwarded your vid to her. You explained it way better than I could have.

[@noahstone264]

I have several different kits for different scenarios. I was an army ranger, so efficiency and necessity is what counts to me. I live in NYC so I have a 48hr urban kit , which I also take on vacation with me. It literally saved my life in Thailand during the 04 tsunami. You have a perfect setup. A few things I would change though. 1, get a bladder and loses the plastic bottle. It's more liquid, and takes up less space as well. Two, if you're going to have electronics, get a mini solar panel. They are awesome. 3, you only need 1 knife for urban. Lose the second blade. Ounces equal pounds. And last, add some garments. Change of Socks, rain gear etc. Electronics will be useless if they get wet.

Excellent urban pack, brilliant little phone charger 👌🏽 I always Cary a map though! Keep up the good work Lilly. Be safe. ✌🏽️🐝

[@zero11010]

I like the versatility that the battery charger for the flashlight offers! Though, it would make be a little nervous to drain my primary (and I think nearly your only light source, aside from the glow stick and phone as a light source) to power up a cell phone. I'm a big fan of rechargeable batteries for urban emergency bags. There are so many different devices that can be powered by them, I would suggest a designated battery for this purpose (or perhaps a backup flashlight battery which would offer to increase flashlight duration, and also serve as a primary source of power for other devices). A great device for emergency situations is the Spare One emergency phone. Basically, it's a no frills cell phone that runs on AA batteries (a single battery model and a dual battery model). You can take the sim card out of your phone to get access to your stored data, and you can always make free 911 calls on any phone (assuming some type of reception). You didn't seem to have anything for shelter besides the shemaugh and gloves. You may want to consider something in case you're in bad weather (especially for late fall, winter, or early spring). I know there are often places to go to get out of pouring rain, but something for warmth may go a long way to making an emergency situation less terrible.

[@zero11010]

***** I have several solar panels and rechargeable battery options. Solar panels tend to be very heavy, and tend to not get used. You're bringing over a pound of gear just in case A happens (you run out of juice), and just in case B happens (it's sunny), and just in case B happens after A happens. The purpose of a get home bag is not to keep you going for a week. The purpose of a get home bag is to get you home. That's less than 12 hours for most people. Are you going to sit still and collect sunlight for hours to get a charge? What are you going to do after the sun goes down? Now you just have weight. Many solar cells promote the idea that they can be used "on the go", that's all BS. For a solar cell to produce energy anywhere near the rate they claim you have to have it pointed pretty much perfectly at the sun, that won't happen strapped to a bag. In an urban environment (which this kit is designed for) you're better off looking for a power outlet than bringing a solar panel. So, rather than bringing a pound or two for a solar cell that may never come in handy, especially not for a 5-12 hour walk ... bring a battery that has enough juice to fully power your phone twice, or even 3 or 4 times. It will weigh less, take up less space in your bag, cost less, and generally, be more useful. But, the point of my post was that with a couple of double A batteries you can have a backup phone. This backup phone weighs even less than most rechargeable batteries, and it can be powered for a really long time with just a couple of AA batteries.

[@BugOutSurvivalNRS]

Ist das nicht mehr ein normales EDC als ein GHB? Ein Get Home Bag sollte schon etwas mehr "Tools" beinhalten. Ein kleines Brecheisen und ein Multischlüssel sind da schon das mindeste. Ein Atemschutz (FFP3) sollte auch nicht fehlen. Just my 2 Cents Gruß

[@SurvivalLilly]

+BugOutSurvival NRS über das Brecheisen kann man streiten, multischlüssel was ist das denn? ich kann meinen shemagh befeuchten und als atemschutz verwenden.

[@BugOutSurvivalNRS]

+Survival Lilly Ich persönlich habe auch kein richtiges Brecheisen dabei sondern ein stabiles Messer (Fulltang) mit flachem Kopf, das ABW 1 von Eickhorn. Ein Multischlüssel ist, wie der Name schon sagt, ein schlüssel mit dem man mehrere Schlösser aufbekommt, vorallem die die in der Öffentlichkeit genutzt werden wie z.B. Poller, Busfenster, Kellertüren, Sicherungsschränke etc. An sich ist gegen deinen improvisierten Atemschutz nichts einzuwenden, allerdings bietet eine faltbare FFP3 Maske einen wesentlich höheren Schutz und lässt sich wunderbar verstauen ohne Platzverlust. Gruß

[@tyguy6296]

I love seeing proper urban kits. so many urban kits you see on youtube are far too tactical and made for the worst of the worst scenarios. This one you showed is much more reasonable to carry around as an average person for an average scenario. also great choice of bag! too much camo and molly webbing out there today. yours is very low profile and doesn't draw attention. love it!

[@tyguy6296]

+Just J there is a difference between planning for the worst, and assuming the worst. nobody is telling you to lose the hand crank radio and shit in favor of the cell phone. we are saying a cell phone is useful and you should carry one. worst case scenario happens? dump the phone. no love lost. if something weighs less than a pound and it MIGHT BE useful in like... 99% of situations... carry it. doesn't seem too complicated

[@tyguy6296]

+Just J you keep saying "when the power goes off" like every bug out situation is going to take down infrastructure immediately. my old town fort McMurray alberta just evacuated 88000 people due to wildfires. a bug out situation if I ever heard one. I was not there, but I had a sibling who was. she had her cell phone with her and managed to use it to contact us and let us know she was safe, organize her contacts to form groups and help each other, plan out where she was going to go, book a hotel, etc. she bugged out, and her cell phone was one of the most valuable tools she had. all I am saying, and I will continue to say it, is that a cell phone weighs as much as a chocolate bar. it takes up maybe a 3rd of a pocket to carry. you can charge them anywhere (they even sell solar chargers, or you can plug it in to a car. no grid required). it would be absolutely foolish to not carry one just because you assume it will not work in the most unlikely and extreme scenarios, leaving you without one in the infinitely more common ones. that is literally all I am saying.

[@tyguy6296]

+Just J I will fully admit that Canada and the US are whole different beasts. Canada has had its fair share of illegal search seizure of firearms too btw. but it's not our "socialist government protecting us from the boogie man". the orderly evacuation of fort mcmurray was conducted by volunteers, firefighters, and RCMP. surrounding communities set up relief shelters and food/supply drops completely on their own long before any government aid showed up. we had a grand total of ONE confirmed looter, and two fatalities who died in a car accident on the highway out of town. as for the US, I've never lived there. I suppose you are probably 100% right though, now that I think about it. the US kinda goes mad max on each other fairly quick. either way, I am sure you know best for your area. it may just be our cultural/societal differences that are causing our difference of opinion on this one.

[@MikeWood]

Ft Mac made me review bug out bags and put a more thought out kit together. Was proud how fellow Canadians handled it up there when shit hit the fan. Each kit is personal to their maker, and a situation in Canada is different than the US or Scandinavia where Lilly lives, but a phone is great unless an EMP happens and the cell network is wiped out and GPS is gone too.

[@kgsz]

Well, GPS satellites orbit on the altitude of approximately 20,200 km (12,550 miles. I can't imagine air/surface EMP impulse (as a result of attack on the city) that would hit all the 24 (or more) satellites at once. Nb. phones can create mesh networks with each other using designated software (well, probably not the backwards iPhones). Examples of the software: "The Serval Mesh", "Open Garden", "FireChat".

[@stevemiller7433]

I would add: 50 feet of paracord. (second floor escape?) A particulate mask... (think of all the dust in 9/11, although the Shemagh would help). Some sort of eye protection, lots of broken/breaking glass (glasses are better than nothing, I suppose.) A lightweight pry bar...(opening windows, doors, grating) A headlamp. (hands free light for scrambling in a dark, ruined building) Maybe some knee guards..(lots of stumbling over broken concrete) Of course, my vision of urban survival is more about earthquakes or tsunami out here on the West coast of the U.S.

[@TheoreticalCyclist]

Nice vid! But You should carry one more pepper spray (Saber Red 20ml, I use this), somewhere easy to reach. And a second flashligt.

Hallo. ;) Ach, ich schreib einfach mal deutsch. Auch wenn dein Englisch sehr gut ist. Eine sehr praktische Zusammenstellung in deinem Rucksack. Als ich früher jobmässig weiter weg unterwegs war, sah meiner auch so aus. Ich hatte zuerst einen von Take it easy, später dann den Nike Net Prophet (wegen dem Laptop). Bei mir war allerdings noch etwas Nähzeug dabei und damals auch noch Ausweiskopien auf Papier. Später kam das dann zusätzlich auf USB-Stick und Smartphonespeicherkarte. Quasi double-taped! ;) Feuchte Reinigungstücher waren auch dabei, sowie noch Ersatzbatterien für die Lampe (Damals ASP Triad, LED Lenser P5). Die einzelnen Sachen hatte ich auch noch extra in kleine Tüten gepackt, falls doch mal der Rucksack vom Regen durchnässt wurde (kam auch mal vor). Neben dem Erste-Hilfe-Päckchen hatte ich auch noch ein paar Medikamente dabei. Wenn man unterwegs ist und keine Apotheke in der Nähe ist... Ladegeräte und Co ebenfalls. Das meiste war sogar 3fach. Einen Satz jeweils in Unterkunft, Rucksack und Arbeitsstelle. Ich vermute, mittlerweile hast du aber auch eine Powerbank für das Smartphone dabei? Schont jedenfalls die Lampenbatterie! Kleidungsmässig war meist noch ein Hoodie als Reserve im Rucksack. Die gehen immer finde ich und sind sehr praktisch. LG Eye

[@br.jasonsmith9368]

Another benefit of a multi tool is the pliers. As a found object for self defense, they are quite useful and can break a hold easily. They can also make for a good impact weapon like a flash light. I have used them to get through car windows in a vehicle accident. if I am the least uncomfortable about an area in which I find myself, I put the multi tool in my hand. Personally, I prefer Gerber models, but Leatherman is fine too.

[@cdamauser1963]

Maybe a small portable solar charger for the electronics. I see they can be expensive but if your away for long and there is no power sources-seems like a good idea.

[@SpiritWriterArtist]

You should get a particulate dust mask in case of explosion by a terrorist or industrial accident. Dust from the buildings that are damaged is very harmful. Also, carrying your pepper spray behind you instead of in reach without taking off the pack is not a good idea imo. Another item you should get is a very loud whistle to attract attention if someone is being hostile towards you.

[@adamselene621]

Hey, Leatherman Wave. I have one of those, pretty handy. My favorite is the Gerber Diesel. I keep the Wave in one of my kits though. The Thrunite flashlights are excellent as well. :)

[@Gpknives]

[@locouk]

I take out a high capacity power bank, an Xiaomi 10,000 along with micro and mini USB cables for my GoPro and phone. You can never carry too much spare power when it comes to portable USB chargers.

[@WyeExplorer]

A lengthy one. There is some good kit there Lilly. The knives? I guess it depends on where your heading. And the water? Defo. As far as myself is concerned I took an expedition Berghaus sack out with me last night Lilly and came back with a sack full of food. Leeks, onions, cake, pies, crisps, milk, bread and bananas etc. I usually go for the veg. The important thing with hunting in the city (we call it that) you have to be equally as prepared by way of taking bags out with you, head lamp and cloth because some skips can be filthy. It's as important to do it with stealth in the city as it is in the wilderness. You need to be silent when out the back of a premises and alone. You don't want your source to be cut off by being identified as having been there. I've come across addicts of all description and they leave a mess, which results in one thing. Closure! Keeping it clean is crucial then... you have to help those who are supplying you with garbage..keep on their side although they don't see you. Lastly, stay off the main drag...cops tend to be there cruising and they will have you down the nick on a trumped up charge, which has happened to me. If spotted though be cool like I was last night as I came out of the zone only to be greeted by a police patrol. Yes I think urban survival is a real skill and an awareness..I have other stories of being in the city and surviving. All fun and thrilling and always a lesson. ATB Mark....a life survivor!

[@johnjama9774]

defensive articles should be readily accessible for quick deployment (within seconds) when needed. nice video!

[@ShoeManReview]

Nice kit all items are worthy. That pack is very inconspicuous and looks like a normal everyday backpack. My biggest problem with a bigger bag or backpack is that I keep loading it until it is full of everything and then it is 58 lbs. Then I am a human pack horse. Thanks for sharing.

[@WOLFMAN2975]

Lilly you should throw in a 4-Way Sillcock Key and solar charger, handcuff key...Good kit nice pack. : ) Tyler

[@jduff59]

Maybe a flashlight that has a window breaker and a more aggressive end cap. Solar chargers for cell phone can go on the rooksack with a carabiner, get a black one to color coordinate.

[@HeSavesMankind]

Hey Survival Lilly, got a very cool suggestion! Put all electronics in a tin with a tin lid. It blocks all signals preventing you from being tracked on cell/gps etc and PROTECTS FROM EMP BLASTS! Make sure and use a rubber band or some cordage to keep tin shut. Enjoy! Spread the word, eh? :)

[@TacBlades]

great vid, i carry a lot less but love my deuter speedlite 20, best backpack i have ever owned used daily and ultra light. i always have a small pack of baby wipes, and small power bank bar, sunglasses, gas jet flame lighter or peanut lighter, and a hank of cord.

[@timlipinski2571]

Check out "TheUrbanPrepper" on KZbin if you want more ideas. Also you may want to add a N95 mask, ear plugs and your glasses may give some more protection. I have the Maxpedition tactical pen that uses the Fisher Space Pen Refill (to break side window of a car or buss to evade the zombies) and a LED flashlight like the size and power of the Fenix PD32 (2 x CR123 batteries)-both are good for getting DNA samples. The pen is mightier than the sword. Thank you for the great video ! tjl

[@jenarddecastro2597]

How about replacing that Spyderco with something that has a wave opening for quick openings? Or a Karambit like the Spyderco Karambit, Emerson Super Karambit, or the Fox Knives 599 Karambit

I like your urban survival kit. Also you can find flexible solar panels with USB and battery charging capabilities. If you could squeeze one of those in your ruck sack that would be cool. They have some on Amazon.

[@benlegend5081]

thanks 4 the video..;]...heres a tip...always carry a bic lighter...in all kits...trust me...A smalll pouch of baby wipes goes a long way also...;].maybe a pack of smokes or a 5 dollar coin..a barter item???.....thanks for some ideas also...:].....looking forward to the next video...

[@pegasus7107]

As always Liily, great job on the video. I keep a knife, lighter,diamond sharpening block, 550 paracord, first-aid kit, chemlights, 650 ml stainless steel bottle, emergency poncho and blanket, trail mix,jerky, goal zero solar charger, Leatherman, inforce flashlight with spare batteries, 5.11 flashlight with rechargeable batteries, gloves, spare glock mag, tourniquet, bug spray/sun block, and spare change of clothes in a 5.11 rush 24 but am working on a new pack. Oh and a boonies hat. need to get a second pair of glasses which glad you brought up. As always, keep up the great work.

[@sinqros]

I have a Condor 3 day Bug out survival pac, it’s looks very military with mollly, so, I don’t use it in City,.. I have in my car Grey man black pac, great med kit etc..in my Bug out bag I carry A Gerber Prodigy Fine edge, a Kabar, 1211, and a Glock Knife or Buck 119..

[@wh33l6r]

I'll tell you what I always carry - a good roll of toilet paper (TP) and Handi Wipes! Might be bulky but weighs next to nothing. And has multiple uses. Don't know about Austria but the public WCs here generally have terrible paper or worse, none at all. Weapons, etc. are nice but, I've lived 73 years all over the U.S. and never needed a defensive knife. On the other hand... well, you know... the need for good TP arises somewhat more frequently...

[@P5ykoOHD]

One thing ... I'm a construction worker (plasterer painter), and I get a lot of dirt and shit on my hands every day. This leads me to the point of this comment: expose yourself to viruses and infection as much as you can while the grid is up and everything is working well. The human body needs "samples" in order to build immunity, so forcing exposure to the nasty, will help you not get infected and fall sick if you cut yourself out in the wild, it basically makes you more rugged and resilient to sickness. I'm practically never sick now, but when I was in school, I caught everything anyone had and fell badly sick. This is one point I find survivalists don't talk about, and exposing yourself now could save your life down the line.

[@robertpioche1519]

Wow... prolly pretty late making a comment. Maybe someone prolly already did suggest this. I love your videos and am big fan of your videos. I suggest for secondary knife a fixed blade and SOS emergency food ration pack. I like it, you covered all the bases. Keep up the good work with your videos. A Fan!

[@denicemariam7903]

Lily, one thing to remember is,"Two is One and One is None." Always, always have a back up, weather it be Equipment, Gear, Hydration, Food, or a Plan. I learned this in the Military. But, I have to commend you on what you have put together in your "Get Home Bag".

[@ismschism5176]

Those gloves look a little-too thick to fetch/open/handle a knife/etc. I'm thinking, "Don't carry the light-stick on you" (excess weight). Keep one in your car & one in the office. Do you have a half-way house to store extra supplies at? Like a gym, friend's house, or church? Small first-aid kit - good idea. And do you know of a few people in your extended neighborhood who also works near you? You could meet-up and get home together.

[@soldtobediers]

Yep! that right there is the epitome of a good to go urban survival ruck. Yes Mam got everything. Bet you even got a doggie ruck for the Dax with some goods in his pack. -gilpin 1-19-16

[@mallentjer31]

A good old paper map and a compass can also be useful. In case of major incidents, the mobile-phone network can be down (accidentally or on purpose to avoid panic). In case of extreme survival situations (war), GPS network might be shut down for civilian applications by US army. So mobile-phone (and even GPS) will become useless for navigation. You’ll always manage to navigate with a map and a compass.

[@implumkrazy]

just ordered a trunite cell phone back up charger thank you did not it about. thank you so much for vid. rock on Roy L.

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

thanks. this helped me in buidling some urbag go bags for gifts. i would suggest some wire cutters capable of taking out chain link.,

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

i was. take your mulit tool and go try to cut chain link with it. i am a leatherman nut. got several of them. even the big supertool 300 would have problems with chain link. now do it over and over, say, 8 times to get a good size cut. either you or the tool will wear out. my point is you need chain link cutters, not just wire cutters.

[@duncansabbo6507]

I hate to say it but all women young and old should be extra careful due to the change of events in America. There will groups of Psycho's and gangs of other street vermin around who will take advantage of the coming Economic Downturn. For Gods sake all you ladies organise your self into some sort of Urban Sisterhood Support Network particularly if you live alone in the City or are a young traveller, Do this please. it is bad enough that the American Economy is about to collapse. I live in Australia it is reasonably safe, but I would be sure worried if I was in urban USA, Do this and be careful .

[@MrAjusog]

Lose the flashlight and get a Powertac. They charge by usb AND charve out to your usb devices. they use a very big battery, mine charged my kids ipad in less than an hour and still was pushing out 960 lumens, and has the strobe plus three color filters. you have too many plugs that rely on a wall unit and one battery will not charge all of the other devices. You also lose precious time hunting for the right combo of battety, nightcore charging unit, plug, and empty device. Trust me, lost the overrated nightcore stuff and go powertac. those lights are waterproof (they demo inside fishbowls) and will charge ANYTHING in 20 mins. Also, lose the condor gloves (those are for airsoft kids, condor is on the lowest rating of "tactical") and go with 3S with kevlar knuckles. I didnt see water or a camelback. But the rest of the set up looks fabulous....

[@johnklein9860]

Nice kit Lilly and nicely done. Different people, different places but much the same things in our kits. Flashlight, water, snacks/nuts(and protein bars for me) a metal cup and a small stove for a firetab. I may need to boil my "found" water in my city. Multi-tool but no extra knife. Too much potential for police problems carrying it. Compass and a GI can opener.Gloves, leather in my case, and silk liners in the winter. Plastic tarp/poncho, a waterproof bucket style hat. A simple radio, am/fm. Fire starting stuff. A light down vest. My scenario is getting out of a high rise office in the city, down to the rivers edge and following it through a wonderfull wooded park system to my home about 8 miles aways. If I need to go further, a bigger pack is full and waiting there. My phone is always with me, though I don't think of it as a survival item. Enjoyed your video, like always. Take care.

[@jag1870]

Good video and tips. Though I wouldn't concern myself with it a folding knife looking more aggressive than a multitool during a shtf situation, nor a tactical bag vs hiking. The key is to have what you need to get home quickly and safely. Again, thanks for posting.

[@marycahill546]

My bag includes large size wool sweater, Smartwool socks, chemical hand warmers, Frogg Toggs rain pants and jacket, some duct tape, small first aid/ medications kit, Streamlight pen type flashlight. Usually I have a knife, cash, pen and pad in my purse. oh, and my Kindle reader! Nice to have some books if stuck somewhere.

[@Wysiwyg101]

First, great video, very nice kit...thanks for sharing. Second, I would add a couple more bottles of water and more food than that. Maybe some protein bars. I'd also add a mini sawyer water filtration kit. And, an umbrella and/or poncho for inclement weather. Add a few bandanas. There are myriad uses for bandanas in everyday usage as well as survival.Third and last, I like the shemagh but, there really is no way for you to disguise the fact that you are female.

[@goldleader3028]

Cute, survival minded, has the same taste in multi-tools and Spyderco knives as me, and pronounces rucksack in the most adorable Teri Garr-Young Frankenstein sort of way...I could develop a serious crush on you, Lilly! Look me up when you're in Orlando! ;)

[@TheRoaddog88]

Cell towers will be the first thing disabled in a SHTF scenario, don't depend on them. Even if they are operable, if there is some kind of catastrophe going on, there will be so much traffic on them they'll be jammed. A great video as always Lilly. Congrats on 100,000 +

[@RAMKING61]

Because light is SO important, it's good to have both a flashlight and a headlamp. However, a HEADLAMP is more important than a flashlight because it leaves your hands free for other tasks.

[@kennlabarre2403]

Living in Arizona, I estimate that potable water is perhaps a greater concern than it may be in Austria. Included in my urban get-home pack or EDC is a silcock key (also called a silcock wrench). This small tool would facilitate acquiring water from various sources during a shift scenario, such as office buildings, restaurants & other commercial structures. There are a number of videos online that demonstrate use in these situations. Your videos are superb, & you are an intelligent, talented woman. (Of course, you already know that.) You have a great sense of humour as well. Best regards, Lilly!

[@bigoncamping1609]

Lilly...really like what you do!!!! If you need eye glasses and don't have them, try this...it works! I have done this. Make a blindfold that goes from temple to temple...duct tape folded onto itself so no adhesive is exposed, cut a wedge for your nose...string at each end to hold it onto your head. Put on the blindfold, determine the centre of each eye and mark. Remove the blindfold and make very small pinholes for each eye. Put the blindfold back on and your vision, while not 20/20 will be much improved. This would also be good for snow and sand storms. BTW, I make room in my survival kit for a small roll of duct tape.

[@dwellingsurvival]

Living within an hour walking distance from work, I never decided to set up a "get home bag" to be kept in the workplace. However, some of the stuff you shown, I also carry in my EDC backpack.

[@norwoodzomboy]

That's a great urban suvival kit Lilly, you have all of the essentials. One modification I'd suggest is having your Tactical Flashlight in one of the pack's belt pouches or on your waist belt for rapid access. I live near 2 bridges where homeless/mentally ill people live in the summer; one day a babbling schizophrenic started following me...I changed my relaxed walking style into an agressive posture and reached into my front pants pocket for my Fenix LD22 Light. After a few seconds he turned in the opposite direction...ease of access to your weapon is essential in an urban environment.

[@nilodrallub7812]

Congratulations Lilly on 100,000 views ! The reason you have so many is your personality and outlook on the world , FUN !I have been enjoying your Vids for over a year and hope to see you break 1,000,00 ! Your urban kit looks well thought out and not too heavy . Great Vid !

[@chasingthenorth9719]

Really useful list! This probably wouldn't work in England (pepper spray and knives are generally illegal to carry here), BUT I can imagine if you go abroad somewhere and get lost all of this would come in handy for sure! Great video! :)

[@ChuckManchester]

You rock, Lilly...good on you for being aware and toting a pack. Have you thought of adding some zip ties, string or rope, and duct tape? Not talking about a huge amount of those, just an acceptable amount that won't take up much pack space. I carry a flashlight that is rechargeable and also has an electric stunner on the end of it....another self defense option and gives you a tool that multitasks. Its a "Zap" flashlight made by P.S. Products. Mine holds a charge for a heck of a long time and the zapper will shock the heck out of an assailant. Keep up the videos, thanks, and good luck!

[@richarddidizian1529]

[@MJD1701A]

This may be to fine a point BUT, do you think walking thru an urban environment in a survival situation listening to an MP3 player with earbuds is a good thing to do? My old survival teacher from the USAF might think differently. Not a knock, just a thought.

[@zipop50]

Hallo Lilly, greetings from Portugal. I like your videos and already learned allot about survival with them. But im a urban guy and about urban survival i think you missed a couple of items. For me to have a medical/dust mask.. is the must. I always care 2x masks. Second is a small power solar panel, because electricity will be the first thing to be cut down. And for last i have a small water purification item. I have this because i don't know if i get stuck for a few days and don't get home. My last addiction to my urban kit was a Trangia stove. Anyway i hope i was helpful and ride safe,, eheheh Take care.

[@charlieperkins6999]

I have enjoyed this an all your presentations. I liked the idea of the flash drive music player, I can see a number of uses for that, including holding electronic versions of your identity documents. I believe the Leatherman is one of the few knifes that will successfully pass a security inspection. carrying a tactical flashlight is also a great idea, the strobe can be highly effective in disorienting an attacker as well as giving you a hard object to strike with while being able to carry in plain site. Depending on your location the pepper spray cause legal issues. An effective alternative is to purchase distilled white vinegar and capsatian seeds or pepper flakes and seeds, slow boil together, until about the color of wine, filter and store in a small spray bottle with a stream tip, Mine shoots about 15 feet or about 4 meters. if you need to disguise its use put it in with the food, and call it salad dressing. until recently I have even been able to get it on a plane, and it doesn't raise any suspicion with security or my employer. a couple of things to add, I would change out the plastic water bottle for a metal Nalgene bottle, you can purchase electric 4 in one light sticks on amazon as cheaply as chemical light sticks and they have a second flashlight, glow stick, strobe, and whistle. They are put out by life gear, I also carry an Eton Scorpion II 4 in one unit, give me light, AM FM and weather radio, hand crank power source, and battery to recharge USB devices. I also carry a heavy weight Mylar space tarp, two large trash bags, and fifty feet of 550 cord. they weigh nothing and can solve a wide variety of issues. Once again thank you for the wonderful job you do

[@akeeperofoddknowledge4956]

I really appreciate your sensible approach to survival, Lilly! There was nothing in your kit I disagree with or would add to. Except I might add a small pry-bar in case I needed to pry open a door or a wooden crate or whatever. Also, I think a snake bite kit is a good thing to have, even in urban areas. Snakes live under porches and sheds and other dark places where there is little or no human traffic. But perhaps snakes aren't't an issue in Europe, but here in the U.S., and especially here in Florida, they are a problem. Along with gators, crockodiles (yeah, we have those now, too), wild boar, poisonous spiders, etc, etc......... Anyways, keep up the great work and keep your videos coming! You are an inspiration!

[@markmartin8431]

We missed Dax the prepping dog! was she running the camera? Good video we should always try to be prepared for whatever comes our way in life. thanks for letting people know maybe you could do some videos on how to place some stashes outdoors for long term storage. Maybe address the need for having a meeting place for your family should anything happen while you are separated and you can't get back to that location or for some reason they can't wait there for you! Thanks for your video give Dax a scratch for my daughter she loves Dax and stay safe. Mark in Texas

[@iammorbius4925]

If the situation ever truly arises, where this backpack will come into play, I say that every backpack will look "suspicious" regardless if it is of the tactical design or the "civilian" design. In a natural disaster situation, no one will care. In a SHTF situation, everyone will be looking at backpacks. Human nature, to covet what you don't have...

[@tomm2812]

I would add some zip lock plastic bags...good for holding water or waste. Clean Water is not always readily available in a city shutdown. Some waterpurifying tabs. A straw or clean plastic tubing to get the H2O out of the zip lock bags. Some disinfectant wipes. And for a female a lady-j...can't always find a safe spot to peel to go. Best
