Tactical Get Home Bag

Sick of bug out bags or get home bags that do everything but help you get home? Think it's funny that guys put radios (comms) in an EDC backpack to talk to nobody? ME TOO!

I agree entirely with this video: build your get home bag for emergencies that you might actually face rather than some sort of weird McGuyver / special forces crossover fantasy scenario.

I dont know man, I mean I have my alien/robot invasion bag with me at all times. I'll be laughing when Im the only one prepared for when the robot lizard people decide to invade.

You might want to consider a couple energy gels, clif bars, or granola bars for quick energy.

[@sal526]

A couple of non-tacticool items you could throw in that's made my life easier are a cheap ball cap (great keeping the sun and rain out of your eyes), a headlamp to free up your hands (especially nice when changing tires at night) and if it's summer time a cooling towel to keep the heat off your head and neck. Awesome video for a great common man pack!

[@1FAST91SONOMA]

It's nice to see more realistic bag setups. I was once guilty of having the absurd INCH bag. It weighed 76lbs and had not only a tent but also a hammock, axe, saw, as well as shovel, multiple water preparation methods, multiple cooking methods, multiple power options including a 60W solar panel, enough food for 3 weeks, water storage for up to 57 gallons, and a load of other ridiculous crap that made no sense. Now I have a bag that would allow me to vanish for a week and it weighs only 18lbs and takes up less than 1/3 the space. My old pack alone weighs 5.5lbs, my new one is just under 9oz. IDK what to do with my old pack now... I emptied it a long time ago and now it just sits

[@nickolasthefrog]

Put the old pack next to your treadmill and fill with water bottles for resistance training. Bonus points for landfilling the couch and putting the treadmill in the living room.

[@knotguilty4623]

Oh, the money you saved me. All we really need is clothes on our back, a pair of comfortable shoes, and a couple of $20's

[@PntZomb]

After multiple off duty officers were murdered and had their vehicles taken in Chicago. I changed my mind about carrying just a j frame. It’s a great backup, personally I’m not going home without a double stack 9mm. Too many robbery crews with multiple offenders. Great info though. Much more realistic.

[@SB-iy7ls]

Perfect timing for this. Ive switched jobs from patrol to covert and have to commute heavily now. I am currently setting up my bag now.

[@AncarMolleur]

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kisluxs book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

[@BlueJayWaters]

I'm from Chicago and currently live in the NW subs. I have family who work at 18th precinct, and bike detail. One of those floods happened where my dad lived on Oakley and Waveland. He's not exaggerating when, in the middle of Chicago, water got chest high.

[@LDR1100RS]

Truth. Thanks for bringing us down to earth. While I was working an hour from home, my get-home gear was mostly boots and clothes to protect me from the elements. And cash. $100 bill can solve a lot of problems.

[@CP-pp3dr]

I'd recommend smaller bills in case they can't or won't make change.

[@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548]

The best thing said in this video was....don't plan to improvise critical medical items. Just have purpose built medical items, such as tourniquets and the like. Planning to improvise is planning to fail, and I dont know about you but my life is worth more than that lol. 👍

[@joeylandry4933]

When I was a trooper years ago we had a large raincoat that came down to your shins and was reversible. One side was bright orange with police on it and the other black with nothing on it. It was the best part of our rain gear but from the knees down you would get soaked trying to direct traffic at an accident 🥴 Glad to be retired and letting someone else do it 🫡🇺🇸

[@dissonantelysium]

This is an excellent and realistic bag-video. Love it! Best wishes from an officer in northern EU!

[@AlexD-qm6tw]

Use ILBE about 12 years, still a good backpack

[@axcx5951]

Thank You for this video - its like a drink of cold water ;) I need to review all the stuff that drives with me in my backpack and in my trunk.

[@christianrodriguez629]

Hes looking at it from a very much realistic way

[@dutchvanderbilt9969]

I really like the no-nonsense approach. But to be honest you got me feeling just a little bit insecure about my bag lol.

[@12345678927164]

Great down to earth advice sir.

[@snake7686]

Awesome pack! I added an n95 mask and safety glasses for my kit, especially for this heatwave and brushfires we have going on in so cal 😎

[@ronaldrose7593]

Great informative video my friend, thank you for sharing it. Stay safe out there, your Family needs you. 😊

[@johnborges8231]

Perfect! None of this stuff was expensive too! My setup is exactly like this! I do have a few more things than what’s in this video but only because I myself have to travel a little over a hundred miles from home. Actual food is part of it but not full on meals. Grip, rip, and eat. No cooking or boiling water. Ammo….get it from the fallen if it even happens! My always on me gun is a small 25 auto or a ruger lcp with a few extra magazines. Keeping a hundred bucks in small bills in your wallet at all times covers most everything. But all of this I said is for longer distances. Great video and perfect sense. It’s funny to see the full blown war nomad setups 🤣 very cool yes but who are these people?! Are they spec op CIA dude’s?! Thank you for the realistic setup.

[@sfire54]

The ham radio is good its not about law enforcement that's why ham is better its not part of that system

[@michaelkinney9527]

The flair is genius. I have spent way too long trying to get wood to light while camping with lighters and tinder that just a small bic lighter never made sense to me as a reliable option.

[@MandatedCupcake]

Handful of cotton balls and a handful of vaseline in a ziplock bag.

[@MandatedCupcake]

The baofengs are able to be programmed for emergency radio channels. So, I mean you could actually have a good chance of contacting emergency services through them. I have EMA, fire dept, local police, state police, all the police tac channels, interop... all loaded onto my baofeng. That said, I have them loaded as listen only though so I don't accidentally transmit to them. You guys list all your frequencies online, it would be smart to load all of them onto your personal radios.

[@freefieldtraining]

@MandatedCupcake 10 years ago, that was possible in most areas. Today? Not so much.

[@MandatedCupcake]

@@freefieldtraining Yeah, 90% of the time you are right, but during some kind of heinous catastrophe there might be guys on the radio. I hear the fire dept. on there a bit. Police, basically never...

[@CP-pp3dr]

We plan to use the Baofengs here to communicate with other civilians and neighbors in a local network. This helps us to be our own first responders as much as possible. If we have a SHTF scenario big enough, the actual first responders will need to look out for their families first.

[@Carlos1010o]

Best realistic video ever. !!!!

[@bebop_557]

Can absolutely echo the parachord statement. I've used parachord to wrap an uncomfortable stock for ONE gun in the half a decade that I have owned a spool of it (and I don't even have that gun anymore either, I had to sell it when unexpected car problems happened). That being said, a part I disagree with is the shotgun bit. I would say a pump shotgun is a useful thing to have in a "get home" scenario. In any kind of urban unrest situation, a simple pump shotgun would be my absolute top go to. I have found it's one of the single most misunderstood and underutilized tools you have available to you. Even if you're not laying down suppressing fire, I have found 1) military surplus shotgun shell pouches are cheap and they readily attach to a lot of things and 2) the variety of different ammo a 12ga offers is useful in a lot of scenarios where you aren't necessarily in a straight up gunfight. Something I would add is that I keep a crowbar with me always, either in the car or in the get home bag, at all times. That tool has been worth its weight in gold and I would 100% recommend it for any setup like this. Even if you don't have a need for pry tools, I have found that a crowbar is very much like a rubber mallet or a pipe wrench: the amount of scenarios it comes in useful to have makes it worth its weight in gold.

[@jwgbmp40]

Common sense. Agreed.
