The Survival Bug Out Bag For The End Of The World

[@kwiyetstorm25]

Love that you kept the review brief. Nice gear.

[@bobinmontana777]

Good stuff! Funny how our careers influence contents of our GHB or bugout bags.

[@MountainAdventureChannel]

Very very true lol glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

[@SayWhenReviews]

Great bag and explanation of the why. Huge difference when someone has knowledge of gear and real world application.

[@MountainAdventureChannel]

Thanks I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

[@podsmpsg1]

I'd probably also add some type of Tape, Gorilla or T Rex and maybe a bandana or two.

[@SurvivalSavvvy]

Ads any more he will fall over hahahaha

[@greyscout01]

I like the set-up. There are a lot of gripes about gear, but I'm ok with the 'extra' gear as long as it's well thought out. My feeling is that if you decide along the way that dumping weight is necessary, it's easier to do than wishing you had it.

[@MountainAdventureChannel]

Thanks for watching!

[@kevinadams9468]

I encourage those considering Bugging Out to put all kinds of things in their bags! (sarcasm off) Where I live, if you are bugging out (and if you make it this far away from the chaos), we will relieve you of your heavy bag and send you back where you came from. We refer to those bugging out as 'Unintentional Supply Sources'. If you think you can simply pack a bag, no matter how well equipped, and magically survive by walking around (driving will be impossible) or trying to get to some place that is probably already legally or illegally occupied by someone else, you are delusional. We are four hours from the nearest city, and no one who is not a resident or a relative will get past the only road into our small town. That's the reality, friend. If you Bug Out, in most cases, you are simply choosing to die someplace besides your home. The easy question is: where are hundreds of thousands or even millions going to go, and will they make it? Ask a homeless person what it is like, because they are the real preppers and survivalists. They bug out all the time, and look how well it works for them.

[@godofthunder808]

"Unintentional Supply Sources!" That's hilarious! I used to tell people that preppers with small packs saw the people with big packs as "resupply" or as a "resource." Gray Man or Tactical Bag? EVERY BAG is a bag of opportunity.

[@SonnyCrocket-p6h]

Your BOL has to be in the woods near your local water-source. The roads will be full of ambushes and caltrops to flatten tires. So you wont be using the roads nor 4 -wheeled vehicles. When you get to your BOL, dig a tunnel to connect the two spiderholes that you'd better have there, 20m apart. This will take 2 weeks to accomplish. Stay in that tunnel except for one hour per night, as you access a food-bucket and cook a meal. Have several hidden Dakota fire-pits Keep the fire small, 2 ft down in the pit, and use both your bivy and its envelope around the vent hole. Then the firelight will go straight up. If you only have one membrane, it will glow like a neon sign

[@michaelmayo4197]

Makes me happy to see another medic that has a serious first aid kit......im a 7 year fire paramedic, and ski patrol , i can get by with virtually bits of trash.....but still prefer to tote allot of stuff bc I've just seen too much and realize that it's allot eaiser to carry it then make it up

[@michaelmayo4197]

Side note, I rock a mystery ranch Terra in the winter and an old-school alice pack in summer in mybtruck I've gotva 35mile , 2 day best case get home

Awesome thanks glad to see a brother in the comments!

[@Soyez-prets]

Funny how the content depend on initial location, culture, country, family etc... But what these BOB usually have in common is that they all are almost set to become INCH Bags. Your bag is full of good sense and so tidy, one of the best I've seen on YT. Thank you for your video.

[@MountainAdventureChannel]

Thanks!

[@jeffarnold8425]

i use a head lamp keep my hands free , lighter , dont take up alot of space and not so bright that gives my position away . head lamp , flash light gps comms are all rechargeable by a solar battery pack dont carry batteries or solar panel . dont carry a perimeter kit because of weight and space . i like the little stoves that uses fuel tabs or sticks . carry 3-5 in my fire kit in case wood is damp or stubborn . on the propane stoves , i had the stove part malfunction . carry a fishing kit and a 22 pistol ( small game ) in case out in woods more then 4-5 days .

[@pederhalverson2591]

I have never found a better bag than the Savotta Jaakari line. I have other bags that are more expensive, but hands down that’s what I would grab if my life depended on it. Contents are always tailored to season, location, familiarity, etc so no point even commenting on those.

[@markcoraa]

I like the one bag that operates like a backup kit. It back ups everything. You might be able,(inconcept, you would not want to), loose the outside pack and just grab it and run. Seriously, how much survival cover could you I have? But in concept, you could lose the bag and grab just the backup. It really only has to last 24 hours, or overnight so you could build up.

[@Substancejdno]

I've watched dozens of these videos and this is one of the better ones. I like how you break it down into different systems

[@MountainAdventureChannel]

@@Substancejdno thanks!

[@MountainAdventureChannel]

That’s definitely a video. I would have fun making in the future. Thanks for the comment!

[@adventureseeker9800]

Nice setup! I would love to know what the weight tops out at though.

[@StevanOutdoor]

It all looks like decent gear but it all looks very 'tactical'. Maybe that's not a problem where you live and you all carry more tactical stuff but here you will stand out and the people less prepared will wanna take from you what you have. I prefer the 'Grey Man Tactic' where you blend into any crowd and people have no clue or suspicion what you have inside your pack.

[@SavageVoyageur]

You are fooling yourself by all this grey man stuff. In a SHTF situation anyone with a pack will be a target for those who need stuff. They will see you with your grey man pack on and target you. Color and style will mean noting to them. They need stuff, you have stuff. See what I mean?

[@StevanOutdoor]

@@SavageVoyageur You mean they are now gonna target a schoolkid because they want their school books? Or an administrative clerk because they want his empty lunchbox? Or the dude obviously coming from a gym because they want his dirty work out clothes? And there will 1000+ 'gray men' walking around so how do they select you? How does a person with robbing someone in his mind selects the target. It's always a risk vs gain assessment. Sure if you wear some fancy expensive watch or other jewelry that really stands out they think that besides that you might also have some money in your pockets. If they see a camouflage guy with all tactical gear they assume you have some important stuff like maybe a gun even or ammo. And they have guns too. So you become the target. Even if they just have knives but can get close enough to you and they want a gun. The gray man tactic works always and everywhere. Do NOT stand out but become one of the many in the crowd.

[@averteddisasterbarely2339]

​@@StevanOutdoor it's comforting to hear from someone with experience on this topic ! Because nobody's going to pay attention to the things you listed ..... I'm gonna use them for my bug out bag ! I'll be able to Walk with complete confidence knowing people won't waste their time thinking I have anything of value ! Thanks for the heads up !

[@blackhawkbushcraft]

I’m 55 from Alabama, living in my mom’s basement, and have a beer gut that looks like I’m gonna give birth to something from Aliens. I’ve never seen such a minimal bug-out bag in all my life! I mean, you don’t even have a dedicated pouch to carry a magical Ka-Bar! Just plain silly! Why did I even watch this video?

[@MountainAdventureChannel]

@@blackhawkbushcraft 😂

[@bogopuar7463]

I totally agree that we need an IFAK and extra tourniquets for several uses. A tourniquet can also be used for splints and support for other pressure bandages. This is a fair bag. For me, I would not be taking any cell phones or equipment that can be tracked. Lots of weight and space to use electronic equipment. I tend to focus on stuff for an INCH bag(I’m never coming home) bag. If I ever need to bug out I have little to no assurance I’m going to be able to come back. I prefer tools that create other tools and necessary items for survival. I need to be assured shelter, water, and thermoregulation, and caloric intake. BTW, Where is your trapping and fishing items?

[@MountainAdventureChannel]

That’s in a separate pouch for another video

[@kevinadams9468]

If you are bugging out, then, yeah, you are probably never coming home...

[@horsedog713]

[@gregharbin3531]

Nice bag and I like the way you have things organized. Just curious, have you ever determined how much weight is added by all of the different organization bags? While I'm not the "ultra-light" sort myself, I do tend to be weight conscious with my packs. Great video.

[@MountainAdventureChannel]

Excellent content. Have you thought about breaking its down into modular system. Battle belt with E&E kit, chest rig with smaller survival kit. Main bag bergan you live out. Just a thought spreading your kit about your body. In the event you have to drop your bag to bug out from your bug out.

For a glamping hike yeas these are all terrific things to have on hand. But as a combat soldier I would shitcan 90% of that shit for an actual 72 hour combat mission. Pounds equal pain Lads.

[@kevinb8572]

It's nice he doesn't have tons of stuff hanging off the bag that can snag on things. Never understand why people do that.

[@vicnighthorse]

Much better yet, don't be in a place you are likely to have to bug out of. I posit that bugging out is most likely to add just a few hours to a few days to your life and maybe change the cause of your death from gunshot wounds to thirst, starvation and or exposure. I'll take a quicker death over a slower death if I can. I most expect to be sniped while tending my large garden and modest livestock. There is not much I can do about that as my group is too small. I have also considered that someone might try to burn me out and have taken steps to mitigate that likelihood - or at least the dying in fire part anyway. Unless you are living in a city, I realize that your plans are likely as rational as mine but with different calculations.

[@jimssurvival4994]

I didn't see any clothes or clean socks, do you carry them? If not why? Good kit...

[@MountainAdventureChannel]

Big orange pouch I mentioned it.

[@jhutch1470]

I use a 7 inch folding saw exactly like yours. I MOLLE a surplus Marine Corps pop up flare pouch to my pack to put the saw in it. I love the setup because it's out of the way. Oh, I also use a surplus double M4 pouch with MOLLE for my pruning shears and my Bushcraft Settlers tool, and can even slide my 7 inch aluminum tent stakes into it with everything else. Just an idea.

Great job! Great video. Great bag. Great, articulate presentation! I disagree with you on only one thing but you didn't explain your philosophy of use. Is this a "get home from 20 miles away" bag? So weight may not bother you. I used those flashlights on my fire department as well and ours got thrown away. They turned out not to be reliable and we junked 'em. Their weight would trouble me on my bugout. There are a lot of brighter, lighter lights in 2024. Even harbor freight. THat's all. I wish more people put the thought you have into your bag. I was waiting for the moment when your organization petered out, but IT DIDN'T!! Stay safe.

Gr8 bag. But...People care far less about where you put your items than what items you have to meet the survival categories. Rather than dumping out a bunch of stuff in random order, think instructional... You're trying to be informative so organize yourself... Demonstrate the items by category then pack them in your bag. 1. Water (parenthesis collect and purify) 2. Fire (heating/cooking/ light) 3. Food 4. Shelter (what I put on what I get into courtage and repair.) 5. Medical (first aid/hygiene) 6. Protection (security/tools) 7. Navigation 8. Communication (& power) Misc.

I disagree. That may work if it’s a short jaunt to that location, but if you’re in a deep urban area, where it takes a day or more to get out of the city, delayed of course by what the emergency is, EMP example, so kiss your vehicle goodbye, you’re on foot, you need to bring gear with you.
