Urban Survival: My Bug Out Bag / 72hr Kit / SHTF Gear

[@amyfletcher4749]

I put together a very cheap back pack with some items I got at goodwill. Kids book bag...Old Military flat cook set. Stainless steel water bottles..metal cup..ect. This last summer the tornado sires went off and yes...I took my pack out of my closet and it went with me to the basement. Something is better than nothing!

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Absolutely right, you don't need the latest and greatest gear in order to be prepared. Focus on covering the survival basics. Food, water, fire, shelter. Well done.

@@TheSurvivalOutpost how do ya like the more updated external storage Pocket/Pouch space list from above that I made?

[@treefloraken8263]

G.O.N.E. Bag! (Get Out Now Emergency bag). Enough to get home in 36 or less hrs, walking or otherwise, for a limited stress situation. That flashlight, if you have the right straps for it, you can make it into a headlamp pretty easily.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Liking the acronym! Great point about the light, clips onto my bandana for hands free operation

[@treefloraken8263]

The Survival Outpost Cool idea to clip the light to a bandana. Glad you like the acronym, I just made it up a couple days ago! It really is the simplest bag, other than EDC stuff. Water, snacks, buff or scarf (for you guys, it’s probably be a bandana or a shemagh, although I have a couple shemaghs myself!), super minimalist 1st aid, extra socks, a bic lighter, something to sit on (like a simple pad, or at least a ziplock baggie!), couple dust masks, flashlight and batteries, pocket knife, some minimal toiletries, and something (jacket, or umbrella) for shelter. Toiletries are super simple, comb, lip balm, bug spray, toothbrush, wet wipes and hand sanitizer. That’s in addition to my purse which has I.D., keys, phone and charger and ear buds, a sudoku book, notebook and pen. I also keep a booklet that has family contact info, personal info, and a bunch of recipes that I can’t live without. You have some really good info on this video. Thanks for the effort you put into it for us!

[@arctodussimus6198]

Just visiting some of your old vids. I gotta say, my favorite shelter system is my basha, with a military poncho and poncho liner. I’ve used them in all four seasons in the desert, the forest, and the mountains.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Man I do love that configuration

[@jonathansevert8400]

Good pack set up. We have some pretty similar stuff. Thanks for the video! I wanted to mention something. At my job we have a different faucet lock. The 4 way silcock doesnt work anymore. Instead you insert a small black key with a magnet in it. The shopping center close to me uses it as well. The mall about 30 miles away has a combination. Pick one up for a couple bucks at a hardware store. I wish i could remember the name. I took a spare and keep it in my urban bag.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I've seen those locks as well. Periodically I'll check a random location IE at the gas station or fast food joint. Glad you liked the video, got a new bag built which is same weight but designed for winter and better quality IMO. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6exhqyBlrmVors

[@inspired4more]

Just a tip. You can get a microfiber towel that folds down to the size of a coke can for about five bucks at walmart. Could save some space. I kept one in my pack in Iraq, and really liked it. Also, the little twig stoves like like little lixada ones are nice. Multi-fuel, so they can use esbit tabs, alcohol, or tiny twigs.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Big fan of microfiber towels, currently using them in my 72hr gear. Multifuel is the way to go!

[@garretr4488]

I don't know how so many people don't put any communication equipment in their bug out bags... In the very least pick up a cheap ham radio to at least be able to monitor local municipalities and if needed talk to others

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I agree 100%, I know it's something I need to do, just haven't allocated the $$$. For starters I want to add a Bearcat scanner. Easy to use, no license required and gets me real time intel on the situation around me.

[@alexarcano]

+The Survival Outpost Cheap little baofeng gt3tp, with AA battery pack adapter, nice little ham, plus has regular fm broadcast receiving, got mine programmed with marine frequencies for weather reports, receives the weather reports from Dublin (Ireland) and that's well over 50 miles away. Question about the dpm gear, if it's urban won't that attract unwanted attention? Better off with grey/charcoal colours or if you want to mix it up a bit then even muted blues or brown mixed in. If you want camo gear then maybe a poncho you can throw over everything if you're going extra-urban? Also, you're water bottle is designed to nest into the crusader cup and hexi burner, maybe a good idea to add them?

[@yodaforgod1]

Because the good communication you have to a license to operate it so can't even practice with it if you don't have a license so to me it's useless and CV is useless cause it's only short range you can make it a little longer but not much

[@tc1uscg65]

@13:49.. Like the paracord/charger cable combo. Power pack looks heavy duty but for footprint size, I like the RAVPower 10050mAh Outdoor Portable Charger. I use those (they come with 2/micro usb cables) because they are about $24 vs 99. The paracord charge cable can be had for $20. Just a little less costly option (and smaller) for the budget minded bag builder. Cool gear loadout too. I just ordered two of the paracord spooltool's.

[@vikingmitch4049]

Good selection of gear,I maybe add that cold steel hatchery you got into the pack.and possibly a goretex Bibi bag.atb Russ.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

That Cold Steel would be a good addition. I'm really torn on the sleeping arrangements, in a perfect world I'd have the extra $$$ to buy a high end inflatable mat that compressed down small and combine with a Bivi bag like you suggest. For now I roll with what I have on hand, but there is always room for improvements IE Version 2 :D

Love your kit- all bases covered, well thought out, not too much to weigh you down. So many people ignore binoculars, and I think they are a great addition!!!! My only negative comment.... Ditch the tampon all together. Go grab a dollar store package of rolled gauze or 4x4s. Unless you are a lady, a tampon is not the right tool for the job.

my suggestions would be toss that plastic canteen and get a ss nesting cup and a 40oz kleen canteen for boiling water and cooking your meals. that folder is great. until it breaks. and given enough abuse in the field it will. get a fixed blade please. i would add an inline carbon filter to your water kit. i love saywer and have a ton of them, but they do nothing for chemical issues. loved the vid bro, keep em coming :)

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Gotta love the Clif bars. 240 kcals in each one. Looks like a great bag, a pair of folders comes in handy, been thinking about getting a Barsa Monocular for first line carry. Got any rain gear or poncho in the kit?

[@dutchcourage7312]

Like your kit. Only thing i would recommend is getting a 5L waterproof bag, and put it around some gear. I saw your compression sac is already waterproof so you don't really need it for that. But the main reason to recommend it is to be able to get 5L of water from any source to your camp ... 5L will get you 2 days or so of water, meaning once you set up you only need to get to the source once... You can turn the side over on themselves and create a small sink to wash yourself, your gear or food... you can use it to collect tinder (or transport it dry), or wild edibles, etc... if you would have to swim you can use it to keep your current clothing dry or as a floatation device ... and if you just keep it empty on top of you pack, you can even use it to just rob the pantry quickly before you leave your house... I think this extra capability (to have an extra useful bag) is worth the little weight it would add, also because it means you can leave all your stuff where it is, and still have some extra space if you need it, for w/e reason.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Absolutely agree, great point about the 5l bag. I have one in my INCH kit. Thanks for watching!

you have some interesting stuff there but your 800 calories for 3 days will last you for a day or day and half in good scenario. I recommend at least 2000/.a day

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I understand where you're coming from, but 2,000 calories a day is quite a bit of food. I only eat 1200 daily right now and I consider myself very active with weight training and boxing 5-6 times a week. It really depends on your weight and the size of your bag. Consider that show "Naked Survival". Those people eat next to nothing and live for 3 weeks. If I have extra space I'll probably devote to extra ammo or water depending on the situation. I'm perfectly fine with 800, but I do think it's a good idea to bump up to 1200. Thanks for the support!

[@rmac8878]

I agree with saving the extra space for extra ammo, and water. ammo = food, I'd rather carry 10 bullets than 10 meals. and always water before food!!

They have this saying in gun fighting that you have the rest of your life to put rounds on target. Your food will last you as long as it lasts you. Food procurement should be prioritized over food.

[@Traderjoe]

Oh, two things I'd add is, I carry my phone in an XL Nite Ize sideways holster and there's a thin pocket next to the phone on the inside and I carry a thin micro boo-boo kit and a small saw blade and file from leatherman and scissors from a Swiss card in a thin vinyl slip sheath. I also keep a large bandanna folded neatly in my back pocket of my pants. It has a good pattern on it to blend in with various environments. I can use it as a head cover or towel or to hide items in the bush if needed plus a myriad other other uses that are well known for like a pre filter for purifying water or wound cover etc.

[@springbloom5940]

Quart bag of pre-cooked and dehydrated lentil/rice/barley soup mix, maybe some oatmeal and a couple bags of instant potatoes, will feed one person on the hoof, for a week or more. Trying to do meals, only takes up space/weight you dont have and complicates the routine. Instant potatoes and instant oatmeal can be made cold, on the march, which is how theyll be taken 90% of the time, in any scenario that compels you to move. 'Snacks' waste space/weight, are empty calories and are very difficult to manage under stress(youll eat all your candy, in a day). Any scenario that compels you to set out on foot, on short notice, is going to keep you moving for 24hr or more and will be extremely stressful. You may think you're prepared, but *you are not* . Any 'snacks' you have, will be devoured in the first 48hrs, for easy calories and comfort. Those sugar calories are just as bad for you, as amphetamines. The moment you stop moving, youll crash and your ability to get moving again, will be severely diminished, because your muscles are starved and overworked - hikers experience this a lot and is a common cause of failed thru-hikes(also rapid muscle loss and kidney dysfunction aka 'wasting') You're not out for an afternoon stroll, you need to eat with consideration and purpose, not convenience, or comfort. Nutrition and food management is going to be one of the top challenges.

[@cynthiarothrock4255]

Thinking you are stopping and COOKING IS asking to DIE. Bring food you are adding cold water to or eating straight from the can. Like ravioli. Peanut butter. Instant mashed potatoes. Canned fruit. Canned ready to eat protein like beans or tuna. Roast beef.. only take what you will eat . NO POP TEA OR COFFEE! CAFFEINE WILL SLOW YOU DOWN HURT YOU IN HEALTH. and don't smoke if you physically have to move to get there. Your not going to the woods to eat. 3 minutes without air 3 days without water 3 WEEKS WITHOUT FOOD. and your dead WATER COMES LONG BEFORE FOOD. Pack water. A gallon a day plus what is needed to make food is appropriate. then TAKE A WALK ACCROST TOWN AND SEE HOW FAR YOU GET.

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

My personal preference and recommendation... In a 72/HR kit only carry non cook able food. Like you mentioned you don't have room for a mess kit most times only having room for a small esbit type stove and few fuel tabs. Better to save that for purification of water as a last ditch need plus in a 72hr deal you want to keep on the move and not having to stop and fire up a stove to eat. A BOB or 72hr kit is to hold you over from point A to B the faster and more efficient you can get to point B the better your chances of survival. High energy high calorie foods are better. The cliff bar is great choice. I'd swap out the jerkey and other things for peanuts, sunflowers seeds, snicker bars etc. proteins don't yield many calories and take a lot of calories for the body to convert Into fuel. Carbs and especially sugars are immediate fuel. This is how most backpackers go. It saves a lot of weight and allows you to carry 3-4x as many calories in the same amount of space.

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

One more thing to add.. For camping backpacking etc.. We generally go for 100+ calories per oz with size of packaging being a concern as well. This guideline will yield you many small dense items like cliff bars that contain on average 300-350 calories each. Each serving you consume you want in the 300-350 range. This is a great rule to follow not only for packable foods but also for a cache or long term storage and prepping stock.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Great point about only carrying non cook able food...now that I consider it, the smell of cooking might be a bad thing, attracting attention to your position. That's a good rule to follow for kcals/serving. Thanks for watching!

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

Good work on the video and bag though was nice, simple, and gets the job done wo lumping a full mil ruck. Watch some videos on "lightweight" backpacking. There is a lot to be learned from the people that do that type of stuff. I personally don't know how they do some of the extended trips they do like that but they make it weeks or even up to a month on those setups so I think there is a lot to learn that can be transferred over to the prepping and survival communities. Consider they are packing 25-30lb bags and trekking 15-20miles a day off what most would consider way under prepared gears and doing it every weekend for fun.

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

One more item of note.. When going with chocolate type foods make sure they are dark chocolate not milk.. It will prevent having a melted gooey mess as dark chocolate has a much higher melting point then milk chocolate does.. Stay away from those energy gels though. For people not accustomed to using those you will end up immobilized with the worst diarrhea you've ever had. I see a lot put these in their packs and it's a horrible idea if they don't use them regularly. They are great fast calories although a bit expensive.. It takes a couple weeks using regularly like a sup lament to get your body adjusted to them. So anyone who uses these.. Make sure you actually incorporate them into your daily life or you're going to have issues should you ever need them.

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

I'm sorry I ended up watching the video all over and something else no one considers just came to me.. Add chalk. It works well for marking things if you think your walking in circles or great tool to leave a message for others Incase your get separated. Granted they will wash off and not last long but it's prob the best and most overlooked marking tool available.

[@TexasUrbanHunter]

really like the sound grenade idea for the perimeter security, I use small bells with fishing line out in the bush but needed this tip for urban environment and it would be a good way to spook off the transients or other intruders if you had to pitch camp in the inner city of a large metropolitan area that could take days to travel by foot

Yep disasters have been pretty widespread this year, quite sad when I think about it. But I always feel a bit better knowing I'm prepared better than the average person. That 1% is a big factor, thanks for watching!

[@tslmiami6288]

I use to pack a ton of gear, something for every situation. Then I got smart and cut 50% of the contents out and added 500 more rounds of 9mm. SHTF I will be switching to BAMN “by any means necessary” method!...

Nice kit!

[@kelleystarling7473]

in you video you talked about urban survival, that being said what do you carry in your vehicle also I would look at a scanner, need to know where the police and where the major areas of unrest are located. for urban I would lean more toward no shelter and more to food, water, and defense. just a few thoughts loved the bag ideas def going to use some of them.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

That's a great question, I carry a full food kit and related gear in my truck, including a scanner. Check out this video for a review of the food survival kit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYDVkql3n5aErNk

outstanding video...i use some of the gear I get from Battlebox in my bag.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

What's your opinion on Battlebox? Worth the price?

[@jackkuehneman9300]

for urban, I personally believe being decked out in camo and military style gear paints a pretty big target on your back. but just my thought

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

I agree, but to be honest it does depend on the area you live in. It's very common here in the south to see people with a variety of camo jackets, military surplus backpacks etc. If this was indeed some kind of serious hostile threat environment and I was on foot, you can bet your ass I'd be moving at night and staying concealed during the day. Thanks for watching!

[@jackkuehneman9300]

I didn't know that in the south. I live in Wisconsin and seeing people with military gear that's the thought that pops into my head. But that's smart about moving, if on foot. You're welcome, I enjoy your videos!

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

That's what I like about the south. I can wear my realtree camo, woodland, etc and nobody takes a second look. On the topic of being low key, I'm releasing a new video today. Stay tuned it will be published in a few hours. Thanks for the support!

[@couchcamperTM]

the small backpack is awesome, I just wish it wasn't available in EMR Summer only. but that's a first world problem, really ;-)

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Lol it is a first world issue :D

[@brettlaw920]

I don't think people pay enough attention to their pocket kits. All the gear is nice but you might have to bug out from your bug out and that means grabbing all the stuff you haven't unpacked. If you begin with the assumption you have zero time to grab anything, you're going to run as fast and far from your campsite as possible. The bug out bag needs to be your nice to have but not at the expense of your last line of survival. An Altoids survival tin in your front pocket and a maxpedition skinny back pocket survival kit dummy corded to your belt that you sleep with, and a folded up tarp in your pocket so you aren't stuck using a mylar blanket. The bug out bag is something you should expect to not have. If you have it, then you're just smoothing it in inconvenient camping. But you need to have food acquisition gear for every meal you might need. Let's assume you make 1 primitive trap per day based on your ability to make cordage. That means you should have 10-12 days worth of food acquisition gear before you have a trap line capable of providing enough food on a regular basis. 10-12 fishing hooks. Redundancy and inseparability matter. If you had nothing else, 50 ft of bankline, 20 ft of fishing line and 10-12 small hooks would be my choice. You can make a knife out of rock, you can make a bowdrill, you can make a primitive shelter, you can boil water in a mud hole with hot rocks, but the ability to easily and reliably get food will give you enough time that you can spend on making those other primitive needs. After about day 4 of zero calories, the body slows way down and all of those tasks become very difficult. If I was going to add one more thing, it would be a Reynolds oven bag for boiling water. It beats the hours of burning and beating a log to make a pot. After that, a knife but a steel knife is a luxury. A primitive knife might take an hour depending on the rocks in your area. Make sure you have rocks in your area. If not, bring a knife.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Wilderness specific EDC is important.

[@brettlaw920]

@@TheSurvivalOutpost Definitely makes life easier. Two separate EDC type kits. An Urban Kit and a wilderness EDC. It is too bad no one makes silcock key attachments for a screw driver or multitool. I think the biggest killer for wilderness type things is people not being sufficiently afraid of cold weather when they travel by vehicle. Or being sufficiently afraid of hot weather. If you're travelling off the beaten path, a ham radio (even if you're not a Ham, it is one of the most reliable ways to get help, perhaps an emergency function should be built into vehicles), a way to get water or bring water with you and climate appropriate protection.

Thanks, appreciate the support. The Bug Out Bag is probably the most important kit you'll construct so I make sure to put appropriate time and thought into the build.

[@MasterK9Trainer]

Whether you are aware of it or not, you are VERY consistent in that I have seen just a few of your videos about gear and you have the same items while some people seem to have 5 different types or brands of everything. It's easy to get carried away collecting gear and I have felt both good and guilty about buying stuff, but having extra stuff is part of my planning. I do realize I won't be able to carry it all myself unless I am on a bicycle or pulling a wagon.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Glad you noticed that. Originally I tried out a few different brands. After training and using my gear, I settled on EXACTLY what worked for me. I have not varied from that so yeah you'll see my kit is very consistent. No matter if I have my INCH bag or EDC pack, I always know the gear is the same

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Awesome, glad you liked it. Here's the pack from the video: thesurvivaloutpost.com/Product/ProductDetail?ProductId=2442

[@TheSixpkAmerican]

A load bearing setup is not for bugging out but for patrol of a position

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Yeah I don't advocate an LBE for a bug out situation.

[@lllPlatinumlll]

MATE!!! Your compass is inadequate! You must replace this with an orienteering one that has a sight...you will get lost using one that has no sight. If you really know the area you wont need a compass or map but if you do not know the area you will need maps and as a said a compass that will actually work.

[@lllPlatinumlll]

Idea for your mini pry bar is to have a length of tube steel somewhere else in your kit to use as a lever in order to increase its power without increasing its weight.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Great points, but for areas I'm familiar with, the small compass works fine for general purpose. For back country treks, I have Suunto M3. THanks for the support!

Why not have a firesteel, on the same string like your compass, on your neck? The to part of the firesteel, one on left side, one on wrigt side - and Compass in the middle. Easy to find.

Great idea, there's always tweaks to be made.

[@wallyworld2174]

Great pack but it really needs a waiststrap to get the weight off the shoulders, kind of a deal breaker for me, other than that outstanding.

If it was heavier then I would agree with a waist belt. But it only weights 25lbs so light I don't feel any need for it. Thanks for the support!

[@bruceforster3709]

Regardless of where you are, LOSE THE CAMO! Several Spec Ops guys have told me that "Tacti-Cool" clothing will get you killed-I believe them. I've done experiments with friends in nighttime conditions. THE Color that will make you damned near INVISIBLE is dark Blue. Dark Brown is a second choice. I have plans to get a dark blue pair of Carhart Pants to go with the coat I recently Purchased. Even my Dark Blue Denims with my Dark Blue coat, I was standing 15 feet from my two buddies, and they did NOT see me. Because of "Refractive Indexing", Dark Blue is the color of stealth. Anything else leaves a noticeable silhouette that will give you away. Came-ANYWHERE-makes you stick out like a sore thumb. Wanna go stealth? Look like EVERYONE ELSE!

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

You nailed it by saying look like everyone else. I live in a military town so it’s very common to see camo, hell its very common all over the south. Would I wear camo to a formal function? Probably not lol but in day to day, nobody gives a shit about a little camo backpack.

[@bruceforster3709]

@@TheSurvivalOutpost You make a totally valid point. If everyone and their dog is wearing something came, then by all means, go along with it. The point is, the more you look walk and talk like everyone else around you, the less chances someone will notice you in a way you don't WANT to be noticed!

[@RicardoGarcia-ul4iy]

So nice gear you have!!! but... ¿Where is the gray man?

[@sappersteve1443]

Just a thought for you.You showed us that you keep your tarp in a wet bag with your sleeping gear but what happens if your tarp is wet and you have to pack it? I have the same DPM Basha and I fold mine and slide it into the zipped compartment behind the back of the pack frame, so it doesn't matter if its wet when I pack it, although I give it a good shake before I do so? By the look of the pack you have,I would guess it has an internal compartment for the padding, inside the main compartment of the pack itself? Either way, give it some thought and let us know what you think?

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

That's a great question, if I thought a wet tarp would soak through the storage bag, I would just hang off a molle loop on the pack to keep it away from the other gear. But I've never had that issue before. The tarp is waterproof so all you need to do is simply shake it off and pack it into the dry bag and be done with it

[@LearnTheLandScandinavia]

Get a kabar Becker bk2 or a gerber strongarm with fine edge and you would have your urban/our skirt bob complete

[@myidentityisnotimportantor1261]

Might I suggest a few large glow sticks and some quick clot? If you don't have quick clot you can grind some stiptic pencils into a powder, they're alum and will stop bleeding. I was going to mention a handgun until you did. Like you, I choose the Glock for my BOB, in my case the Glock 30 (compact .45 ACP. Yes, I have my CCW permit). The gun holds 10 + 1 and the beauty of Glocks (besides their near indestructibility) is that any Glock will feed any other Glock mag of the same caliber if the frame is the same size or larger as the one you have, so my Glock 30 will feed it's own 10+1 mag and the 13 + 1 round, full size Glock 21(my usual nightstand gun, so I have plenty of mags for it) mag as well as those after-market 30 rounders (don't forget at least 2 or 3 extra mags, a cleaning kit and oil, maybe a box or two of extra ammo since you never know how long things will be in upheaval). The .45 ACP is powerful enough to put your attacker on his ass and keep him there and the .45 ACP round and Glock pistols themselves are popular enough that extra mags, ammo, parts, etc, will be easy to get. For my BOB, I chose a military kind that is modular so you can attach additional pouches to it. Oh yeah, a sharpened entrenching tool makes a good tool and weapon and the newer ones fold up and fit right on the back of your pack. I also save a few of my (prescribed) oxycodone and Xanax each month and put them in my first aide/trauma kit in a watertight container, as they are essential medications for me and handy for pretty much everyone if someone is injured, having a panic attack because society is chaos atm, etc.... Cheers and be safe.

[@TheSurvivalOutpost]

Lots of good input, typically I'd have a dedicated med pouch with me that included quik clot or some other kind of clotting agent. I like the idea of storing that kit in a waterproof container.
