Updated Get Home Bag - January 2015

[@gorillahd9247]

Nice overall kit and it was smart to add alternate communications. Well done sir! Scott

[@livingsurvival]

That ACU is sick. Also those gear pods are really nice. Cool stove. Great kit all around.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Living Survival thanks brother. I had a choice between acu and black. I'm happy with what I got.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

***** Thanks for the support.

[@thelzmovement6480]

it's called atacs which you probably already know lol

[@CreativeRedundancy]

Very well thought out G.H.B with lots of redundancies. 14:09 i carry the Olive green version of SOL super heat sheets E.Blanket, and it works pretty good for a quick shelter. Good to keep ready to use cordage with shelter items as it goes hand and hand.

[@Rangersly]

Very well planed bag! I like the fact that your zip-ties are ready to go. This is the first time I've seen this in this type of bugout/get home bag. And it makes sense! Simple but great idea!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

+Rangersly thanks a lot. It is pretty simple with nothing really fancy but it works for me and what I plan to do with it. Thanks for the comments. Take care.

[@mikel9567]

We use those same model N-95 masks at work for Virus and Bacteria protection. They won't filter out smoke, especially if your in a confined space.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

+Mike L Your totally right. They are made for virus/bacteria protection and they won't filter any gases but it will help somewhat with larger particulates although that is not what they are really designed for. Thanks for watching.

[@thepeacefulprepper8605]

Great set up. I hadn't seen anyone wrap fiberglass around their metal cup for an insulator, definitely makes it easier to use a metal cup to cook or boil water. Nice new camera and fancy camera work :)

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks so much for watching. I can't take credit for the wrap on the pot/cup as it came that way. Its a really light weight way to make it easy to handle when hot.

[@MrRextech76]

something like the monsoon gear slinger in a non-tactical paterned collor, while it may fit less, it will not wave as many flags around, and can more easily be concealed in a vehicle.

[@DeepSouthExperience]

Those Gear Pods are just too cool! I have never seen them before. You have them set up perfectly and cover 3 of the 5Cs just there. I understand about car accidents I have a bag sitting on my truck seat for grab and go, unfortunately I have used it too many times but I sure does work and is great to have (that is one kit that is pretty much complete). Still working on my bags, seems like I can never get them quite set up the way I like - work in progress. Enjoyed it Chris! ATB2U/SS - Stan (PS - put 2 more in freezer yesterday! both w/bow small 12pt and a doe)

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks a bunch Stan. Gearpods are a pretty cool idea. They have all kinds of premade kits and also empty ones you can customize yourself. Ya my bags also seem to be in a state of flux too. Always adding or changing something. Congtats on all the meat! My freezer is going without venison this year. 😩

[@wil2fly13]

This is a great help. I just got the bag and I'm starting to build. Again, thanks for being thorough.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

No problem. Glad you found it helpful. Take care.

[@bruceforster3709]

One suggestion: Run by Home Depot and check out the Nite Ize Carbiners for your kit. There are some YT Vids you can watch on them-AWESOME for emergencies!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Will do! Thanks!

[@Countryprepper]

Very well thought out get home bag! I need to do an update video on mine. Just saw a shoutout from Chad so here I am and subscribed. Looking forward to watching more!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks man. Subbed you back. Chad is an awesome dude.

[@MrRextech76]

nicely and well thought out bag sir. i like it. only problem i have with it, is you will stick out like a sore thumbs in a wrol/disaster etc.. or any scenario. The camo bag will tell others who may me in desperate need of food/ gear " hey ive got the goods". and it would alert a check point and cause the gear to be confiscated and you detained or both. inconspicuous is more. just my thoughts.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Rex Tech I agree with you. I am just working with what I have on hand. At some point I hope to change it out for a more "Gray Man" bag. Thanks for the comments.

[@screech1337]

nice video .I like the bag ,I always carry a change of cloths ,socks a pair of sweat pants and a sweater in case I get wet or cold even in the summer

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks man. I have some clothes and boots and other items in a kit in the box of my truck. I go over all of it in my full truck kit review from a few months back.

[@keithhutchison5198]

One thing you said was that you would use the purification tablets in the 500 ml bottle. Those are made for a liter so need to cut in half.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Keith Hutchison Right you are! Thanks.

[@themiwoodsman7222]

the gear pods is a great idea multi-use ! lots of nice gear well set up pack , the pack is on my wish list ,great day or overnight bag ! atb john

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks John. Gearpods are pretty cool and the have so many options you can really customize them to your needs. And the pack itself is awesome. ATB

[@themiwoodsman7222]

i like it a lot ! i think i'm headed to amazon , add to the wish list !!!!

[@jaybarr3307]

Great bag. Think your decisions are considered and justified. You definitely have room for a change of drawers and a pair of socks, I'd add, but that's me.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

+Jay Barr (Mr. Pink) Thanks Mr. Pink. They aren't in the bag but in my truck I do keep some extra wool socks and a full set of long underwear. I have room in the bag so I suppose I could throw them in there. Thanks for watching.

[@LyD787]

You should add compartments on the sides for more space for more items and a place for your water bottle :)

[@UrbanSuburban010]

I could but I don't really need more room for my use...except for the water bottle...that would be handy for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@LyD787]

+UrbanSuburban keep up the awesome work friend

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks a bunch bud!

[@MrDawggie]

Goal Zero solar panel for chagrining your phone. It would fit and light weight. Like Sandy people didn't have a way to charge their phones. I think NY has solar stations now. Good tips as to what to have.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks. I carry a 13000mah portable battery bank now as well but solar charger would be good too.

[@FBskater88]

Appreciate the two angles!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks man. Trying to mix it up a little.

[@jeremy67A]

Orange paracord was a cool idea!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

+jeremy67A Thanks dude

[@Lebigboi64]

Where are the gearpods purchased as well the Molle case housing the pods?

[@duckgoesquack4514]

5:33 you should place duck tape on the Bic lighter, because sometimes objects push on that red button and it will wast your fuel

[@UrbanSuburban010]

aran astesana very good point. Will have to dig it out and do that for sure. Take care.

[@MountainRaider]

awesome kit!gearpods are great!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks MM. Gearpods are pretty cool.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

***** thanks a bunch. Many more videos to come.

[@TurtleBushcraft]

nice get home bag thanks for sharing atb John

[@UrbanSuburban010]

+Turtle Bushcraft Thanks John. Take care. Chris

[@concernedpatriot.2221]

great video. i think we all carry roughly the same things. aside from the N-95 mask i also carry work goggles, you need eye protection from smoke debris. i also carry a more quality flashlight. also i carry anti bacterial wipes, those can be used as toilet paper, to disinfect cooking gear and you can clean yourself with them. i also carry a water bladder, if i have to leave my vehicle i would fill it with water in order to have accessible water before i would have to start looking for more water. thanks again for sharing

[@UrbanSuburban010]

michael leon Goggles is a good point. I always have at least one pair on Oakleys in my truck but they are shaded. I have a better flashlight in my EDC bag which is always on me, plus one in my pocket (smaller). I also always have antibacterial wipes in the truck which are ALWAYS handy, especially with kids lol. One thing I don't have which would be good is a water bladder. Thanks for watching.

[@concernedpatriot.2221]

UrbanSuburban my pleasure, great channel

[@darylthomas9095]

I like the set up. My added restraint would be the use of "gorilla tape",

[@ArmoredGamingZ]

What's the deal with the black and white shots from the side?

[@kerrysmall8764]

IKR! Had to skip through those parts as I couldn't see what he was holding so ended up missing alot of it. My gess is that he was more interested in showing off hiss editing skill than he was making sure his viewers could see what he was doing.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Tried something new to spice it up...didn't work so well I guess.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Sorry you didn't like it. Tried to mix it up.

[@kerrysmall8764]

+UrbanSuburban Never mind. Only a tiny grievance, not the end of the world dude. :)

[@ArmoredGamingZ]

+UrbanSuburban I only thought that a lot of things you showed got out of focus. I liked that you experimented.

[@jasonmcdaniel7878]

Very nice GHB! Been thinking of making one for the car. How about adding a portable battery bank or USB solar charger? Also, just sub'd your channel!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

+Jason McDaniel Thanks for watching Jason! And you are bang on with the power source! Since this was meant to be a short term bag for me, I picked up an Anker 13000 mah portable battery bank. If I was building a bag to be used for a longer term "bug out" type situation, I would like at some sort of solar charger. Take care bud.

[@Opalakamsbxbxkkxnc]

Where do you get the bag form/how much? And great video

[@UrbanSuburban010]

I actually bought the bag off of a friend but Hazard 4 is carried by tons of online retailers. LA PoliceGear has hem for sure. And thanks.

[@James-ke5sx]

Great kit eh. Before getting home you may need to get out of a place you may be trapped in. Power failures, earthquakes etc. means trapped in subways, underground buildings, elevators etc. I keep a small 50ft rope bailout kit, P100 not N95 mask etc. If not needed can be geo-stashed using a GPS

[@Bo24Yfz]

awesome video it gave me a few ideas so i will share a few of mine for you... you talked about vacuum sealing that water straw i believe what i did instead of that is use a mylar bag and oxygen absorber they will last longer as for the cheap bags they use the seals leak after time as well as let light and heat in more then the mylar.I would also throw a few(4 ) hand warmers since you live in canada that can save your life as u said you loose feeling in feet or hands your dead. Im assume you carry a gun of some sort since you have zip ties to detain someone because i dont know anyone that would like a stranger just zip tie their hands like that with out fighting unless the person had a gun so throw a extra mag or 2 in your pack so you always have that. I would ad a lighter in your actual bag so if some weird reason your tube thing breaks ,gets knocked off shot off or what ever you have a fire source. I know MREs suck but they have more calories for you then roman noodles and if your humping a distance your be glad you have them... i would get 2 open them and take out anything you know you wont eat or use like both spoons hot sauce ect.and throw them in a mylar with absorbers. take out the roman they are empty fast burning cals and wont get you through a day and the stove unless you just want it because its cool..lol ( which it is). i forget if you had any protein bars if not get a few of them to eat while you walk.. I would also fill up your water bottle you have and the bladder because instead of trying to find water and filter it boil it or what ever you can be moving to your family. The radios you have are ok if your with in a mile but if your not and have trees and hills and terrain that dont have a straight veiw you will be about home before you can use them... what i recommend is the BaoFeng UV5R Ham radio... which i have about 10 of these you can find brand new ones on amazon for around 30 bucks which is a steal... now before people say you have to have a license to use them. that is true one its a really easy test and if your in a emergency situation you can use these to talk on which i assume if you pull this pack shit got real!! lol but it isnt illegal to own them and listen on these.. the best thing is they the same FRS frequencies your other hand held's have so you can program these to work together as well as you can scan local police and fire as well as other channels to get info to help you move to warn you of trouble areas to stay away from... with this stock radio and a extended antenna as well as the extended battery you can have the radio on for about a week as long as your not talking constantly they also have car chargers so what i did was ad a car charging port in the back of my truck and have them charging under the seat so they will always be full. but with these you can talk well further and get 20-30 mile range of talk...last but not least... a little tool called the ResQme and attach one to your key chain and throw one in your bag... if you dont know what it is google it. I have probably 8 of these things lol and have used it once to get a lady and her child out of her car that went into a water retention pond..its really hard to break car windows with out shooting them out but this lil tool has a glass breaker that can be used in the water and out as well as a seat belt cutter if you need that to free someone.. or yourself for that matter. I have these on all my key chains plate carriers bags you know it they are awesome to have and light and cheap.. other then that maybe a few cheap chem lights and a tourniquet you can get to fast but you got a good set up and i could tell you didnt just throw it together and you have stuff for your area.good job! sorry to make this long and by no means am i saying what to do just advise i have picked up or found out i needed hope some of this helps and sorry if others have suggested anything i did before! and thank you for the ideas i got from you im gonna change my pack this week to incorperate the things i learned from you!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks man. You have some great ideas. A few (like the ResQme, lighter and chem lights) are things that I always have on hand in my truck but not necessarily in my bag. I really like the idea of the ham radio and the mylar packaging too. You gave me some things to think about, much appreciated.

[@Bo24Yfz]

no problem glad i could help man!! if i run acroos anymore tips ill pass then along to you.

[@dutchwoggie1055]

Is there any identic bag like this you show in your video but with two slings on the back side, like a typical backpack? I need one!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

+Dutch Wo They don't make one identical to this with 2 straps but they have some very similar packs with 2 straps like their Clerk or Officer bags.

[@jerrybobteasdale]

Hazard 4 Plan C has 2 slings.

[@blackbullitt6398]

Nice job, very informative. Where did you find the gear pods?

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks. I purchased mine from gearpods.com.

[@LEO1WOLF]

Good review & great ideas!

[@LEO1WOLF]

I can't prove it, but I may have just become your 2,000-th Subscriber. (Congrat's!)

[@UrbanSuburban010]

+LEO1WOLF Hey! I think you are right! Thanks a bunch!

[@pierreveillette2242]

Great bag. May I ask where you find the Canadian Flag patch

[@UrbanSuburban010]

I don't recall for sure but most likely either herooutdoors.com or amazon.ca

[@eccoshoe1]

Great vid, pls tell me where you got those great looking leather gloves, price??thank you

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Sorry for the super slow reply. Those gloves are from Costco. They carry them in a 2 pack every winter. I don't recall what they cost but I think somewhere in the neighborhood of $30.

[@AlexandreLollini]

Have you tried those SOL things ? I have opened an SOL tap and it was stinking so mych it gave me a headache, the odor was horrible, i wonder if this is just one pack that went chemically wrong or if all are the same. I like very much the Hazard 4 Evac Plan B; it is my edc for work and car, but i think it is too small for a serious overnight or two days pack, the sling is VERY compfortable when weight is down, but if you add weight AND need to vover some walking hours it will hurt.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Interesting. I have opened the bivy bag but never unfolded but didn't notice any odor. I have used several of their heat sheets and never had a problem either. And I agree about the bag. Not too many sling packs are comfy with really heavy loads. Mine currently weighs well under 29 pounds so is still good with that wide padded strap.

[@AlexandreLollini]

 My problem was with a "Sport Utility Blanket" wich I planned to use as emergency shelter (combine tarp with rings and foil reflective stuff). What do you know good tarp with a reflective face and some rings, other brand ?? With 29 pounds you are still ok with the sling, i think this is near upper limit for day-long-walk.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Sorry. That was supposed to be 20, not 29 pounds. 30 pounds would probably be a little much. The All Weather Emergency Blanket by Grabber is pretty good. 1 reflective side and grommets at the corners. It measures 5X7 feet.

[@AlexandreLollini]

UrbanSuburban Thanks !mine is closer to 14 pounds but it's only tools and electronic, almost no "survival" item, i just try to be the guy that solves problems here ... lifesaver bottle, blanket, stove, tarp are located in the car...

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Alexandre Lollini very cool. I like hearing other people's ideas and set ups. Take care.

[@Jarhead6]

cool pack bro!

Thanks buddy. The gearpods are pretty cool. I like them a lot.

[@jordan-it2xf]

great set up bro I love to see us canadains thinking and being ready but u forgot one thing hair gel. I got some u can have im going bald lol cheers bro good vid

[@UrbanSuburban010]

+Ricky Jordan Lol I haven't had any hair on my head for 10 years. Save it for someone that can use it.

[@OrangeSolaire]

Loving that flag patch! Greetings from Montreal!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

thanks. I've made it to Hull but never to Montreal yet. It's definitely on my list though. Take care.

[@gcjctc2]

Nice job!

[@UrbanSuburban010]

+Doomsday Defense Thanks!

[@MrSoldesu]

Kali Muscle would kill u for those ramen noodles in ur pack...

[@sidorgan969]

Hey do you know if the jetboil gas canisters would fit in one of the gear pods pods?

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Sid Organ I don't think so unless they make bigger gear pod canisters now. Mine have a diameter of approx 2 3/4 inches if that helps.

[@sidorgan969]

Cheers yeah they dont. So that bag is it uncomfotable as its only single strap?

[@UrbanSuburban010]

It is super comfortable. I like sling bags myself and find this one particularly comfortable as the strap is extra wide and padded.

[@quercus4730]

Look up how to tie handcuffs. Good video,Thank you.

[@UrbanSuburban010]

thanks man. will do.

[@merlachner]

I do like hazard 4 and the plan b is my favoritte but i've found they are not as water resistant as some othe companies

[@UrbanSuburban010]

merlachner I wonder if that is because they use a lighter nylon? Anyway my stays in the truck 99% of the time so hasn't been an issue for me yet but thanks for letting me know. Take care.

[@eccoshoe1]

hit bag with scotchguard, wa la no leaks

[@mbecker163]

hey, I'll take the pack if you want to switch to a gray man! ;)

[@UrbanSuburban010]

lol. I'm still running this pack. But thanks for the offer ;)

[@cookei24]

would like to see the gear you show the main camera instead of seeing the side of said item in black and white... just sayin

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Spector 75 Yep. You're not the first person to mention that. Thought I would try something new but didn't work out quite like I wanted. Thanks for the feedback. That's how I can improve for you guys.

[@QuintoTubo]

+UrbanSuburban I think it would come out better if you use one camera to show the entire pack and the item you're talking about (just like in this video), and the secondary camera to have a detail on the item itself. I would probably have both cameras in front of the table, with the secondary one maybe just a little on a side, to give a slightly different perspective on the object you're showing. Great bag btw! :)

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Thanks man. I will keep that in mind next time I do a video like this one.
