Bug Out Bag! [ I'm Leaving...]

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks so much for watching the video, for your support for the channel and for all the thumbs up (and the thumbs down). You all are the best!

[@EDK329]

Got worried about the tittle thought you were leaving KZbin glad that’s not the case can’t wait for this trip

[@becca318]

What do you think of bringing a Peri bottle, to be used like a portable bidet? Might not have to use TP at all, or barely.

[@becca318]

Nice set up by the way.

[@loganwolf2037]

What, no COFFEE ?! My friend, is that it ? That's a good "Greyman/Get home starter pack". From what you showed, you can wear some of that stuff in addition to EDC on your belt/other places. Med kit should definitely be in an outside pocket or worn. I really like your videos, so fun, so cool. As a former U.S. ARMY AIRBORNE PARATROOPER (still am til death) and a III(3)%er Patriot, my mentor (U.S. ARMY RANGER, multi-tour Vietnam combat Vet) said to always pack for a solo mission (scout, recon, trail blazer, ambush bait 😆). In a soldier's words, 1* (one ass to risk). Get in, get it done and adios señorita. Bugging out is get ready, get going and adios MFs. But only if needed after bugging in. My urban/ wilderness pack is ready to go in a moment's notice. Packed lite for soldier's mission (Ranger burrito, local map, clothing, "TOOLS", etc.) but also with 7 days food (2 a day) like home prep MREs, powdered milk, protein shake powder, multi vitamins, COFFEE, important documents, etc. I live in a small "city" in deep south Texas and believe me, the border is a complete DISASTER, FKN CHAOS. Gov. Abbott, U.S. Border Patrol, local law enforcement and citizens (GOD Bless them all) are doing all they can. A law abiding citizens no permit required open/concealed firearms carry was recently passed. Dead bodies of all ages, rapes of all ages. The FLOOD of killer drugs, criminals of all types, terrorists. The hundreds of thousands of unknown illegal aliens coming in, healthy or diseased. This is insane ! LETS GO BRANDON ! Everyone here is prepped or getting prepped in one way or another. When I'm going Greyman (already am), I have my A.L.I.C.E. ready to go inside of a roller/ extending handle suitcase and another bag with my "other good stuff " to get out without bringing attention to my military background while looking like an average shmo but pistol ready. Contents will be readily deployed when needed or in the sticks. Pretty cool 😎, huh ? In my small prepped apartment, I'll be (stand your ground) Greyman unless forced out or go tactical for whatever reason. Finding a new urban shelter or getting out of town, I'll be (escape and evasion) Greyman unless I'm forced to go tactical. I will help people when possible. But when I'm in the wild (urban/ wilderness), it's fangs out, time to go primal. Archangel Michael (Patron Saint of U.S. ARMY AIRBORNE) and I will survive to defend my country and help others to survive. It's the duty and privilege of being a true AMERICAN. Prep with a mission in mind. Prep to survive. Prep to succeed. GOD helps those who help (prep) themselves. Just remember, it worked for Noah.

[@jamespaul2587]

Save travels James, and thank you for sharing the packing of this bag, and your upcoming adventures. Those thumbs down must surely be thumbs up from your Australian fans, enjoying their winter season, right? :)

[@peterschmidt6754]

Almost everyone misses one component that’s highly important which is a kit for addressing blisters. In a bug out situation almost everyone will be walking, and feet really take a pounding when you’re not used to it. Every bug out kit should include extra items for foot care. Thank you very much for your videos, they are always most helpful!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks. I use duct tape for that which I carry in my first aid kit. Also, if you watch the following video to this one I showed how I use the bug out bag in an actual 70 Mi bug out trip.

[@robertgolden1080]

I might have missed it. I would definitely carry an effective insect repellent. I retired from the Army, when we were in the field I always carried a bottle. Those critters left unchecked can actually drive you insane.

[@jamespaul2587]

Good point Robert. I would try to get a good supply of mesh bug hats, jackets and pants as the DEET bug sprays are not the healthiest option! :)

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks. The tent and the sleeping bag both have built-in bug nets.

[@rochellemarshall6409]

I would also pack a small bug repellent

Great pack! Very Gray Man looking! I didn't hear where your headed 70 miles from home... I would pack at least 1 extra pair of pants. Perhaps just a pair of joggers to wear when making a fire, and sleeping. I'd hate to see you have to wear rain wet pants all day while walking so far! {I do like those cargo pants you can zipper the legs off} Be safe, and do keep us updated!

Very good! It's amazing how each of us do different things to aquire a similar result. My bag is similar however it's a get home bag since I already live out in the boonies. I'm an appraiser and cover 9 counties here in the Ozarks so if I had to walk home it could take 3 or 4 days. And yes I have Nutrient Survival in my get home bag.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks so much, I just uploaded the video. Hope you like it!

[@jamesbowen5573]

Great video I have most of those items myself. One suggestion on your sunglasses you might wrap them up in glasses cleaning cloth before you put them in your bag. I had a pair of those very same glasses and even though you put them in the bag that plastic rubs on them and will mess up your lenses. And it has an ugly spot and basically they don't work as good. Maybe even not be able to see out of one side. So what I learned to do was wrap them in a cleaning rag and then put it in there. Those cleaning rags aren't that big but will easily go across both lenses. I don't have to worry about it anymore when I turn 42 years old I needed to start wearing glasses probably from all my years in construction being around welding. So now I have to carry an extra pair of regular glasses usually my old ones but I do the same thing always protect your lenses they don't do any good if they are all scratched up or have rub spots on them.

Hello, Mr. Bender; I enjoyed this, "Thank You!". I wish you had made a list of everything in your bag. I have a 'go bag' but I've never spent much time camping. I think that is because when I was young we made do w/ what we had. So I'm not experienced w/ real camping/'survival' gear. I have a 'suggested' items list but it's from people that don't have your level of expertise. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor! PS Be careful on your trip, the world is not as it was.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks so much! I guess you could just go back and watch the video and make a list from the items I talked about. You could also watch the different survival kit videos where I talk about what's in them.

You should have a 3 liter water bladder in your pack ! You might not be able to get to a water source every so often to keep your body hydrated ! Also a snake bite kit and insect repellent would be nice to have. Also thermal blankets and a thermal reflective tarp that's silver on one side and colored on the other like a light green or brown or even better a camouflaged side to put over your tent /hide away area so not to be detected from above !!!

Thanks for the reminder coming into the height of hurricane season. I will most likely end up bugging in, but needing to evacuate is not outside of the realm of possibilities. Of course escaping hurricane surge waters have some different needs (pets, kids, insurance papers, hard to replace documents, etc), but it’s a good reminder to recheck my kit. I have all my overnight primitive camping essentials in a duffle bag and just came back from a trip. I should recheck it and restock as needed.

And Definitely something for blisters, I'd probably get a fold out solar panel charger too something with a little more kick to it. it's kinda small like that one you have but it folds out and has a little bit more to it and you can hook it to your backpack and unfold it and charge it at the same time your walking.

Good looking gear. Was hoping you would have showed your protection

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks. KZbin kind of frowns on that.

I would have added a roll or half roll of toilet paper. - Or something in that realm of thinking. You never know when you might need it.

It's in there and I did mention it specifically in the video.

Now, what exactly are you bugging out from? Are you walking the 70 miles to your bugout location? If you're driving, then the pack is your bailout bag (for when you're car runs out of gas or breaks down). What's the terrain like along the way? I didn't see hiking boots/shoes. Personal protection? What's that, a pistol? Not going to do you much good inside the pack. What about navigation? Maps, compass, GPS, etc.? What about communications? If you're so scared of where you are that you're running away, do you really feel that the phone system will remain intact? And what if it is the Government that you're running from? They'll, if they are not already, be monitoring the phone system and find you. Of course, your "bugout location" has stores to live off when you get there, so this is only your travel backpack? Why bring so much? If you have to "bugout" then you have to move fast and stealthily to evade whomever you're running from. And is 70 miles really far enough?

Thanks for watching.

Thank you 👍. What kind of striker was that for your ferro rod?

[@Paul-up3pb]

Found it ….. It’s a Speedy Sharp knife sharpener. (I think …)

[@fookingsog]

Don't need a "striker" for a ferrocerium rod!!! Just the back/spine of the Morakniv will suffice as you scrape the rod and not strike!!!😁👍🏻

[@WayPointSurvival]

You are correct. It also serves as a knife sharpener and bark scraper for fire starting.
