[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

always goin be someone :D

He missed Orajel, Moleskin for feet. Drugs to keep you going. Also he missing large foldaway water storage containers. He also missing silent hunting methods..

@@LowBudgetKZbinr My take on this is to locate near a water source and keep the filtered water maintained at the site. When traveling one litre is enough for me. I live in uk, it's always generally cold lol. No sweating.

[@dwightrhodes2051]

On the backpack rain cover. I have hiked in the rain many times with a rain cover on it will only keep your pack dry for so long. What I like to do is put a contractor grade garbage bag in the pack first before I put any of my gear in you can twist the top shut guaranteeing your gear will not get wet

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

I use a submersion rated dry bag inside of my pack. I live in an area that is very rainy and wet 9 months out of the year.

Based on the lack of meal, water storage, socks, etc.., it looked like he was prepared for only a couple days or so to get to a close by bug out location which in his case might work perfect for him.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

yes that's what I figure

[@CazSmith]

@@TheSurvivalOutpost Unless he runs into trouble. And that's likely given he's going to be bugging out in a shtf environment. My kits a bit heavier, but at least I'll be eating well and getting a comfortable nights sleep. And a change of clothes.

Canadian Preppie has a lot more stuff that could be stashed/traded on the way to a location. Crack Scout has more access to guns n ammo. What if they accidentally ended up w/each others' gear, would they be alright or croak overnight? lol

When trimming weight with a water procurement kit I like to put a Sawyer squeeze and its bladder inside a Nalgene. If I want an option to boil in as a backup I use a tall titanium nesting cup.

[@pederhalverson2591]

Definitely miles better than Canadian Prepper’s bs bag. Personally, my main shtf bag is a Savotta Jaakari. Tougher than tough and no rain cover needed. I love that. I do like the clamshell design of the Kifaru Ma Deuce, but it’s nowhere near as tough as the Savotta. I think Tactical Tailor’s malice/Alice bags are amazing as well. As long as you use your gear and familiarize yourself with contents those outer pockets make a lot of sense. I believe the Nalgene controversy is likely plastic vs metal. Weight vs boilability. The new Grayl titanium is far and away the best bottle system I’ve seen.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I'm a huge fan of the TT Malice pack and also like the Savotta. If I could justify buying more packs it would be those two for sure.

Lately, CP is claiming to be a bushcrafter. He isn’t even a novice from what I’ve seen. But his subscribers believe him to be 1 and so he pretends he has that knowledge. He will get people killed.

Something about CanPrep that gnaws at my Spidey Senses

[@DamianBloodstone]

I'd give it a 6 at most. The problem with bug-out-bags or evacuation bags is the fact the person assumes something will be there to come back to. Having had numerous hurricanes and one major (Isabel) behind me, I found many who bugged out or evacuated to higher ground might have had a house to come back to but most of their belongs were gone due to looters or raiders. So a foot of water in the house might have made it hard to live in, but it left most of their valuables (electronics, food, water or camping supplies) there for the taking. Boarded up houses were hit most and all safes were not overlooked but cracked or cut into. The first night after Isabel passed, there were gunshots, screams, banging and other loud noises from houses in my area as people tried to loot or succeeded in it. A big tree had blocked one route and another had done the other way. Only two ways in and out so even Police/EMS/Fire weren't coming if you had a signal to your cell phone. Houses where people had left had been hit hard. It took a week for my area to get back power and cell towers. Some it took five to eight weeks. So you must always remember if you bug out you might come back to nothing in most instances, especially in riots or gvt crackdowns. Thankfully, none of those for me yet. Main thing is the bag you are getting home with, bugging out with, or caught out with might be all you have left. Take Care and Stay Safe, everyone.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Excellent assessment, thanks for sharing your experience

[@kurtbaier6122]

Love both channels. An individual’s kit usually addresses the challenges that a person deems likely to face where they are or where they are going. That said, critiques are a great way for us to stay with or make changes to what we are doing. You made some great points. He said he would not be in an urban environment. Which given the items that he selected to use between a suburban environment and the woods a surprisingly unlikely combination. He definitely picked items I wouldn’t have picked. I think of my bug out bag as the bare minimum for any season. I run a Glock 19 with raised tritium night sights, tactical white light and a USA One Shot non NFA pistol brace. Which turns the pistol into a carbine in seconds. I would carry Glock mags not AR mags because a pistol is legal carry where I live. And a pistol is easy to conceal. Sometimes you don’t want to look like a threat sometimes you do. The $200 brace is compact, light weight and can fit in a daypack. The Sawyer water filter can screw onto a Smart water and other drink bottles. And pint to quart size roll up Sawyer or Platypus bladders can plus up water if needed and save space when not needed. 2 lighters, char tin and or small flint steel, or fero rod and magnesium bar ,and section of cotton clothesline dipped in melted wax, will give you both a short or long term solution. A 2 -3 metal cup with lid, ( GI or Esbit, and cultery , and hot and cold wets, ( including Gatorade and extra salt) is also essential. Compass. Rechargeable flashlight power bank combo. Back up Huntsman Victorinox pocket knife, whistle, and pepper spray, for humans and dogs. Cold steel shovel with a shortened handle and cordura sheath. To use as a baton for a non lethal threats and with sheath off for lethal threats. Food. Prepackaged jerky, Ramen, rice meals, cup of soup or Hot Choc mix, Jello mix, peanut butter crackers, trail mix, snickers candy bars or Cliff Bars, Jar of peanut or almond butter. I would pack mid layer thermals, a second boxer or nylon bathing suit, and 2 pairs of socks. For shelter: a nylon rain jacket, a military style poncho, klymitt air Matt, SOL bivy, SOL double sized Mylar sheet pinned to either a poncho liner or compact Summer 2 lb sleep bag, 2 black 55 gallon black plastic bags, and a blow up pillow. First aid and meds, and trauma kit.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Great well thought out comment. Appreciate the gear suggestions esp the Cold Steel shovel

[@joeygay7115]

I found The Lifesaver Liberty water filter for sale at Bass Pro Shops

[@jimssurvival4994]

Another thing that I thought was weird was his med kit was on outside of the pack, but his tourniquet was in main compartment. Why would you have it in the pack? Maybe he had one in med kit but he didn't say that. No shelter that's crazy! Maybe a score of 7 max

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

that is a good point about the TQ. I'd like to think the TQ in the main compartment was a backup to a primary stored in his IFAK.

[@jimssurvival4994]

@TheSurvivalOutpost yeah me too but who knows

[@warlantactical]

Med kit should be out side or close to it but t/q should be with it .

[@warlantactical]

If you are truly bugging out lol! Most people have families! So by the time they get there snivel gear its to late and most likely left behind . Its better to stay put . Now the real question is what is the situation you are leaving . If its natural disaster then you should have vehicles packed always Important in a carry safe And gear bags always packed and never borrowed from . If your bugging out from a make believe war then stay put but you must no your area . Sewers gas and water mains etc And if you are bugging out where are you going no one ever has a plan in there videos they just talk about gear lol lol lol You do not have to give exact location but break it down to plan a,b,c ect for your viewers to figure that out . Plan building is fun and exciting

[@titanpreparedness]

Its a interesting pack more of a war pack with a few basics for survival but everyones approach is different. Just wish more people went out on rucks with the packs

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

that is the key...training with your key...and I'll keep preaching that :D

[@CazSmith]

Absolutely. It's needs to be ingrained in the mind. Exact steps knowing what you're going to do on the way to a location and having a solid routine to get you through the days. For me: Breakfast/ exercise/ foraging - wood - water collection/ hygiene care/ lunch/ reading/ meditation/ dinner and lights out. Who needs a house lol. Modern society sucks the nature out of life. Getting a fire started is more fulfilling than any social media/ pc game ect.

[@bmbpdk]

Keeping his torniquet on the inside of his bag is not logical; A torniquet is used to stop uncontrollable severe bleeding RIGHT NOW, not after you dropped your bag, opened it, digged it out and then eventually manage to find it, fold it out and strap it on. We, (Royal Danish Army) in Iraq, had our torniquet on the outside of our gear, in a ziplock bag, on the front of our person, attached with a just strong enough rubber band, so that you could reach it with both hands, rip it off, open it with your teeth and then apply it, and we practiced using it several times. And IFAK´s should be CLEARLY labelled with red and/or a cross, so you never have a chance of grabbing the wrong one, and someone is going to help you, they know exactly which bag to reach for. Medical gear wise i would fail this guy.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

good take on the medical kit, thanks for sharing your real world experience. my friends with combat experience tell me that if you have to use one tourniquet odds are HIGH you will need another so always carry two.

[@bmbpdk]

@@TheSurvivalOutpost Thank you. I was the squad medic in my platoon, Jutland Dragoon Regiment, MECHINF, and i support your friends statement. And i guess that your friend will agree with me, that you always use the persons own medical gear, with the medic only using his/her gear if that is faster or the poor person is out of what is needed. Each persons IFAK was equipped to handle the more common injuries, with the medics bag being a "depot" for those things and he/she had the more "advanced" equipment/gear. Each persons IFAK and each medics bags where totally standardised across the entire company, so each person knew exactly what gear was in which bag and even the placement in the bag itself was standardised. That way, when the need came up, there where no fumbling for the gear needed and the medic could commandeer any soldier to help him/her because everything was standardised.

For cover l would add a light mylar tent , a light breathable mylar sleeping bag and a reusable space blanket plus extra cordage and titanium tent pegs . A small solid fuel stove is very portable and lightweight . I enjoyed your review . Thank you . Cheers

During a SHTF/bugout I personally won't be trying to break in or through anything that might attract unwanted attention to myself. I'll be steadily and stealthily making my way to my safe place/base avoiding drawing attention or sustaining injury to myself so I will most likely survive. I'll let the other person engage in the firefights and B&E while I slip by unnoticed in one piece

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I agree 100%

[@MasterK9Trainer]

I think again I have found a moment of eye-opening clarity. You hit the nail on the head when it comes to the whole question of defining what it means to "bug out" versus an evacuation. For people in clandestine government work, the military or who travel abroad many have what they call a "bail out bag" which helps them to get out and away before anyone comes for them or tries to hold them against their will. That's a well-defined purpose. The first question to consider is the situation or the scenario before us. Is it temporary like avoiding bad weather or caustic smoke or are you leaving because it's not safe to remain where you are. If you are avoiding an armed enemy, riots or some form of violence then you might need to move very fast, to hold up, to camp out or even to fight. Do you have transportation or looking for opportunities? Will you be able to resupply, eat, bath, shop on the way? If people ask themselves a few questions then they won't have to guess what to put in their kit. In Black Scout Survival's bag, he had his magazines. Nothing unusual, but he sounded so "purposeful" meaning to me that he feels he needs them and I think that's the secret to building a kit. Experience also helps to decide what to pack, what works best for you and what doesn't. That being said, it's wise to have the usual and most common items such as a lighter, ferro rod, knives, a bottle/bladder bag or combination, a water filter, etc. And it is NOT a crime to have a few items that you may not use. Many people carry "things" just in case they need them. It's not about failing to not pack exactly what you use, but ensuring your kit saves your butt.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I'm glad you have that clarity now! I agree that indeed the usual stuff doesn't change. I call that the foundational gear that I'll have in any bag. From there the gear is mission specific.

[@jfilm7466]

I've got a few different pack covers which are multi-purpose from camo to bright orange which changes how people perceive me.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Dig it! Great strategy

[@neil_castell]

i'd give Black Scout a solid 8/10 ... would be more than happy to have and use that bag, How about doing a Bug out scenario video ... 72hours traveling from A to B (or a set route). Its rare to see people actually do more than a 1 mile walk into the woods then play with their kit. I have seen only a handful of genuine bug out scenario videos over the years ... james yeager did a really good one a few years back with a group of people.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I agree 100%, 8 out of 10. Def a solid bag. About the video, that's what I'm in the process of filming. Evac on a preplanned route on my bike to a resupply cache. Its taking a while to film but should be ready for release in the next few weeks. You are right, most people either review the kit at home or go on a short hike. I did the good ole "Bug Out Adventure" in 2020 where I hiked 30+ miles in two days in mid summer. Great training and burned 6 million calories in the process LOL

[@stop_recycle]

this is a bag you take with you if you have to leave your tent. everything else you need is in larger bags, or in various hiding places. closest to the body, you should have things you can start a fire with. if you lose your bag. go outside and exercise when the rain pours down

[@arctodussimus6198]

I liked this video. And I really like the idea of this video. You make a good critique. There are so many videos on “my bug-out bag”. And I enjoy seeing what people think is necessary to carry for survival. I’ve been making bags and kits since I got out of the Corps in 1983. Back then we just called it camping 😉 Maybe it’s because I’m old, but I require more in the way of a sleep system. All my bags have some kind of bivy or tarp, as well as a military poncho. And I have to have a metal container. Even if it’s just a canteen cup. I like old school military equipment. He has a stove, but no container to cook on it. That green nDur water filter in his grab-and-go bag is the bom-diggidy. I wish they still made them, I would have ten more. Extra socks is a must… even if it’s just to replace wet ones. And you are absolutely right about foot care in the med kit. A foot problem is second only to a toothache in importance, if you have to keep moving. Semper Fi

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

in the end its just camping, you're not wrong :D I love my old kit, I have a stainless steel canteen thats WW2 issue and then British issue gear as well. Thanks for calling out that filter, I couldn't remember the name. Its not to be confused w/ a similar mini straw filter that is total garbage. Semper Fi

Well said man and Jack nailed it with his skill set. The plastic Nalgene is regarding plastic lowering your testosterone levels. For me shelter is a military poncho,bivy bag, and tent stakes. Low visibility,layout flat/secure, and climb under. I love the Grayl but just switch out for the Lifestraw peak series with a Smartwater bottle. Lightweight and more packable on the go. First aid kit with moleskin a must especially with having a family. Also chafing cream for me because monkey butt sucks. I have several small survival/EDC kits on my person in a bug out situation. I also have the NRE’s plus a small alcohol stove to boil water for it. Having more water too for cooking freeze dried food is a must. I always keep a signaling kit in my packs for emergencies but yes in a bug out situation you want to be low key. The two items I keep with my get home/bug out bag is my Safe Life Defense body armor and my Parcel Respirator.

And it is a basic bug out bag you can always add a rain cover or any other things that you wish he is keeping it simple for those that do not know

[@TexasRanger-lf6jc]

You should check out a smaller KZbinr by the name of Junkyard fox, he mainly focuses on erban and desert survival (being in Arizona) his KZbin videos can be very dyverce from stealth camping near a motel to camping in the middle of the desert, and is allwace changing his bug out bag to match his environment and the season. he takes more of a cowboy way and style adapting to the desert. His Bug out bag is not as tactical but more rugged, he is constantly camping and experimenting and is constantly adding to and upgrading his EDC and bug out dag which he his alot of videos about. I hope you take my word and cheak out his chanel.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I scope him out, thanks for the suggestion

[@CazSmith]

In my bag it's a tent/comfortable sleep system/ water filtration and an abundance of dehydrated food and spare clothing. Without food and a good night's sleep everything else is going to fall apart. The gadgets I leave at home. I never understood minimalist bug out kits. Unless you're trained to exist on sleeping on dirt floors and eating twigs for breakfast they don't do the average Joe much good. I can exist for three weeks near a water source with my kit making meals from my additional bag containing freeze dried meals/ protein powder/ amino acids/ electrolytes and vits. Alongside the small wood burner and collapsible sink for washing clothes & self my kit can make a home from home anyway safe (given a water source)

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

having a good sleep system is vital, appreciate you calling that out.

[@maxpinson5002]

If it's a true SHTF/WROL situation, you don't want to be "camping " If I were a renegade brigand, my fellow scumbags and myself would be looking for signs of people making campsites and cook fires and signs of hunting/fishing. All bets are off. Lethal hide and seek

[@CazSmith]

@@maxpinson5002 Trying to steal people's sh@t means you'll end up with a bunch of untrustworthy a-holes who will likely get popped off sooner rather than later. Also, it's ALWAYS camping. Call it what you want but it only comes down to levels of comfort. I'd rather be in a tent in a sleeping bag after eating a hot meal than sleeping on a tarp on hard ground with the wind and rain soaking me. Try being a renegade with no sleep. The 'campers would see you coming a mile off, shoot you for the fun of it, and probably serve you up for lunch to their dogs. BTW ... if you've not had any military training, been deployed, seen combat, you might find randomly shooting people in a shtf sit' to steal their stuff a little bit more gruelling than you could possibly imagine. But what do I know lol. I'm just a camper. I've even got an inflatable pillow haha.

[@aarona2673]

These videos give me Doomsday prepper vibes when they scale their survival preps and how long they have of survival. They need to bring that show back. Its funny because they would say how likely the things they are preparing for and most were highly unlikely. Fast forward and most of them were right to prepare for that situation.

Im a recent subscriber and you may have done a video on this before, but how do you pack your bug out/get home bags? Cold vs warm seasons, city vs country, road trip get home bags and so on. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

thanks for the support. great question about packing the good ole BOB. I typically start with defining the mission BEFORE even thinking about packing. Then I do a full recon of the route I plan on taking and also account for the time of year. Based on these three variables I can pack with intention and purpose.

[@michaelburnham5286]

@@TheSurvivalOutpost I have 3 bags/kits. One is for a short trip home with very basic supplies that I keep in my truck at all times, the other is a 7 day pack along with a gas powered 79cc pedal assist bike in the back of my truck due to weight from all the supplies needed to bike back 450 miles on a specific trip I take across state lines once in a while. I'd have to cover desert and a cold mountain range with different enviroments. It's a 7 day pack but I figure I will only have 3 days max to get home before all SHTF in a grid down situation before having to worry too much about violence. The last is an INCH bug out container with months of gear and supplies needed in my environment year around to basically camp for a very long period of time in a camper van if I'm forced from my home for any reason.

Good video and great review. My bag has all the essentials with a few additional items. It would appear that all the bob vids I've watched are done by single men and women without children. I know thats bot the case but i can't remember anyone covering that area. I keep a set of skivies for my daughter as well as a few extra feminine products other than what i have in my first aid kit. Maybe u could break this trend and cover that little bit of reality. Anyway, on to the next vid in ur lists.

[@Jeffnismoser]

I love those video, it helps us have another point of vue on other youtuber bugout bag and help us understand you mentality and show us other option. I follow Black Scout Survival for a really long time and he has great advice on survival and escape and evasion tips an tricks this is why I still follow him but since a couple a years i got suck deep into conspiracy theory and he makes more video about that than anything else and I think this is why he got a lot less vues now when someone go Political or Religious this is where shit goes south. I am not on the same page on that with him but He is still THE Black scout survival so once in a while there is good tip and trick video who pop out so i am watching those. But none the less what i thing about is bug out bag, for me bug out bag is not a bag to go live of the land its a bag you grab quick to get out of your home in an emergency to go from one place to another, so my mentality is it need to be ready and have at least a change of clothes with it, in it or on it and people the show that often, the reason is simple we sleep for about 6-8 hours a day what happen if you get an emergency in that time, or if you are relaxing listening a movie in pyjamas or if you are in the pool or in the shower and you need to go quick. Secondly, only 1liter of water, what a remember of Black scout survival videos is half the year he is drench in sweat in every video he makes that mean he live in a really hot environment so water should be a priority so at least a 2 or 3 liter bladder because I hike a lot and our summers here are hot and winter are freezing and you need a lot of water in all those situation when you are walking 2-5- 10 miles, I gess he would stop every hour to fill is bottle but you can't take that time in bug out situation. 3rd is food, the one he use is cool its easy to eat on the go but if I need to walk all day ( He probably think he is going to do that because he pack a water filter and 2 NREs), I will need a break and in my break i need more than proteine powder and energy bars, So I will probably swap one NRE pour one of my favorite MRE for moral boost of a real meal. 4th is emergency stuff is in the main pouch under other stuff like Magazine velcro in the the main compartment, tourniquet and medical stuff burry under other stuff and ditch pouch in the main compartment my ditch pack is strap on my back not in it or at least in a quick access pocket outside the main compartment its a Ditch pouch lol when you need to ditch your main pack you wont have time to but down the pack open it search in it and get the pouch you want quick access to it. I love the fact that he have a smaller backpack not like Canadian prepper with is 60l back pack who is going to carry that for 10-15 milles even thru hiker have small and light pack and gear and they pretty much live out of their pack for days. I hope he pack money in is pack because if there is a power outage when you get out and you need to buy something cards wont be useful. It sums up what I saw for the video ahahah. Great job Love almost all your videos, maybe next one could be with hardcore military guys like Garand Thumbs ( I now he made one but its maybe out of date) or maybe The Gray bearded Green beret, Ranger survival and field craft or Coporal corner. Maybe a more bushcraft oriented Channel like Dave Canterbury, Survival lily, Jason Sallier from ON Three and survival dispatch. If someone is speaking french I suggest Vol_west he is a french who moved in the US in the 90s and now he live in Montana I love is mentality He use too make more video but survivalism and prepping is a controversial subject so he took a break and got back to it couple of years back and now he still do some video but mainly lives!

[@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548]

The deal with the Nalgene is its plastic and while you drink from it that plastic is ingested, once in the body that plastic mimics estrogen which for men could cause unwanted side effects. Now would one plastic bottle really harm you that much? Probably not, but with everything being plastic these days its being taken in everyday all day for most people. Something else I've noticed that never gets talked about ever.....why are people constantly training for GWAT? If minute men are ever required i don't think it will be a GWAT scenario for the defenders, guerilla tactics are what people should be practicing and training imo. Many of these internet people think thats how its going to be and that's simply not true, sure the invading force would use GWAT style tactics but the defending force would HAVE to resort to guerilla tactics like in Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. Im no military professional or anything but this should be obvious I would think, many are looking with the wrong perspective and therefore probably don't stand much of a chance. I'm interested to know what you think about this and are people doing it wrong?

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I def agree that any conflict would be asymmetric warfare. read war of the flea and consider if we have these conditions to support an insurgency in the United States.

[@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548]

@@TheSurvivalOutpost its to bad someone with some clout doesn't remind these guntubers and minute man channels how it will really be, I know this was a little off topic from the video but not to far off lol and I wanted to know your opinion. There are way to many videos of dudes all kitted up head to toe on the flat range thinking theyre some kinda of B A 🤣, which in reality if its against the most likely adversary they would literally be loot drops for the dudes doing it right. This also makes me wonder if its intentional so future potential events will be squashed quickly, or perhaps its just the training they had before/during GWAT that stuck with them, which isn't useless of course but it may not be properly focused for the trajectory we're headed. These minuteman videos really do get alot of views (obviously I watch them too 🤣) but no one is really talking about that, I know you have experience in such things and aren't afraid to ruffle a few feathers lol so maybe if you felt it appropriate a video on this topic would be of value to the community. Ultimately it's all correlated and to have one you almost have to have the other, unless we're talking total nuclear annihilation which would still have alot of relevancy to this topic imo.

Ok here we go ! Bug out bag maybe from vehicle to home . Lol His views are lacking because he got banded from few social media platforms and had to rebuild. His load out in the bag it doesn’t make sense for the tile of video and his so called skill level . So since in the bag he shows ar mags inside they should be not in the main and should be on exterior or easier to get to . Nalgene reference not sure but there a strong bottle can’t boil in it though . So since his load out is more urban hopefully that filter will remove contaminants. This Load out to me is a basic edc gym bag and added pew pew for social media . You are correct no wood processing or shelter making tools or dry bags for the pack internals . Mylar blankets are horrible for bugging out because there stupid loud . This kit dose not do him justice with his back ground . I have never seen an sf guy with this load out There load outs are super dialed in and quiet Especial escape and evade tools usally under or inside your American flag patch . Rating for this for a bug out i give it a 2 because its not complete .

Maybe do waypoint survival next. He has something that most other bugout videos dont have and probably most important... a clear goal. Its a two parter. The first details his gear (minus his bike and its equipment): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXK2kHmwe6utapI The second is him doing his bugout out of the city on his bike, it is also a bit of a plug for the bike hes riding but, its a nice bike. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4TNnWuYn7yKbM0 Also maybe ranger survival and field craft. I believe Andrew is currently a SERE instructor. He has a lot of different bugout bags, so maybe choose one. Also both of them have advanced survival skills including primitive survival so probably dont need as much as the regular joe schmo.

Is it not also true that in court they could refer to you as a person 25 times in one sentence and they are actually using 25 different definitions of person without you being aware? Can a corporation be a person? Are you the legal person? Are you a living person? What is a person?
