What's Inside My Go Bag

[@banannadb2213]

I cannot recommend this enough, look at "ultralight thru hikers" and use what they use as a base, then expand based on individual needs (such as weapons, extra medical, your radios, camo, etc). They use extremely minimal setups that comfortably support them on *multi-month trips across the entire US*. Lots of these guys do this yearly, like youtuber "Jupiter Hikes." That, and frequently conduct exercise with friends and family, you will quickly find what is useful vs what just weighs you down.

[@rallen7294]

The thing about GoBag videos that BEGS to be improved...it seems video makers intend their video to be informative & instructive but as soon as they present a go-bag by dumping it out or pulling random things out they immediately fail. Worthwhile instruction is planned & organize. I'd offer, people care far less about where you put your items in your bag than what items you have to meet the survival necessities. Demonstrate the items by category then pack them in your bag if you want to demonstrate which items need to be "on top" or "on the outside". I'm a former SERE instructor & not a "10 C" guy so I use our SERE categories (& sub categories): 1. Water (collect and purify) 2. Fire (heating/cooking/ light) 3. Food 4. Shelter (what I put on/what I get into/ courdage & repair.) 5. Medical (first aid/hygiene) 6. Protection (security/tools) 7. Navigation 8. Communication (& power) Misc. (Cash, silver, playing cards)

I've had to evacuate twice grabbing my bag and going. I would throw out most if not all of that gear. The reality is you are far more likely to end up in a hotel, family/friends house, in your vehicle or a shelter. Having: food that is ready to eat that you enjoy; water and a way to purify water; more food; at least one change of warm weather and cold weather clothing with extra socks and underwear; a hygiene kit; any necessary or OTC meds first aid; a flahslight/headlamp/lantern; copies of important documents and back up drive for any important pc files; a small amount of cash; some type of emergency shelter and sleeping bag they make much smaller high vis tents and bags and whatever tools or supplies may be necessary for your specific environment like hand warmers in really cold places maybe lots of sunscreen or a big floppy hat in a desert area. Trust me that list will be far more useful in 99% of any real emergency you might need to evacuate from. Don't get me wrong it's fun to collect outdoor gear and while the fantasy of bugging out into the woods is a fun one it's not very realistic. If you want real emergency preparedness number 1, 2 and 3 should be food and water. I would also include a form of self protection which depends entirely on where you live and what the laws are so I won't be specific on that one.

[@lskazalski]

If electricity is down, and it usually is in an emergency, cash is critical. And always keep more than a half tank of gas in your vehicle.

[@skittlemenow]

@@lskazalski Good points.

[@RandomStranger69]

Finally another person who prepares for statistically probable scenarios and not fantasy prepper bullshit.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

@RandomStranger69, Evacuating to a hotel/shelter/etc in the event of a natural disaster and evacuating due to sudden breakdown of social cohesion are two different scenarios. As such, one bag should be made ready for each. The most likely scenario that people in the US will face is evacuation due to natural disaster. That doesn’t change the fact that the chance of other scenarios is greater than zero. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

[@Theozman2]

You say this is 48 hr bag but you prep it like it is a 7 day bag. For a 48 hour set up, you need to be light. You will be moving as fast as possible to your home base. You need hydration and nutrition (which is the fuel to move). Dump the pot, plastic water bottle, stove, fuel, tent, big binos, bolt cutters (really?? Bolt cutters?) Add Stainless or titanium water bottle doubles for heating, holding, and purifying water, and doesn’t break. Poncho-doubles as your wet weather cover and possible tarp tent. Bivy sac and woobie if you must. Keep the socks. Add a wide brim hat and sun glasses, gloves. I would want more food. Let’s say you are 80 miles from home. You can walk 4 miles an hour. Day 1, scared shitless, you walk 16hrs. You have to have food to resupply glycogen and electrolytes to replace those lost. IV powder does not have magnesium which you will need. Day 2 you are going to hurt like a mother…. Better have ibuprofen or meloxicam for pain, body glide for your thighs rubbing (which you should have used yesterday), blister tape, TP for today is not a shitless one. This is the short version

[@tennesseeterri]

Dear sir, one major thing that people never seem to realize is that if you're traveling in a car with your bag, you can always ditch half of the stuff and leave it in your car if you want to. The big bag of stuff is just a bunch of possible items that you may or may not want to set out on foot with.

[@NikosKatsikanis]

great post TM, would love you to comment on some of my etd/survival videos

[@elisebrown5157]

Here are some thoughts, since you asked... I'd ditch the flares and mini firestarter logs. They're too big and heavy. There are many smaller commercially available tinders that can burn for upwards of 10 minutes and are much smaller. I'm partial to the mini infernos by the Pathfinder school, but there are lots of options. Flares are also hard to extinguish and the entire point of them is to be very very visible. I'm not sure what stove you had in that little orange bag, but I don't think it's a JetBoil, which is a whole system where the pot connects to the stove, and they're much larger than that. Could have been any one of a number of small cannister stoves, though. However, if you're worried about noise discipline, those butane stoves are loud. You could burn an alcohol stove which is virtually silent and weighs very little. And I question the large collapsible bowl you're using to boil water - why so large? You could get a 650 ml titanium cup and save space and weight. Or you could get a Grayl titanium and have your water filter and your cup in one. If this is a go bag, the point is that you'll be on the move. So stopping to boil water in general is just a backup if your filter fails. You're not even packing any food that requires boiling water to reconstitute. (Which is another thing I'd change... add a few backpacker meals, some instant coffee, etc.) By far the largest omission, however, is the lack of insulation. You don't have any insulative clothing packed (remember to not use cotton as an insulation layer), and you don't have any sort of insulated sleeping bag. At night you're going to want more than that tent and the clothes on your body. In an emergency, you'll need good sleep, and lighting a fire for warmth might not be the best idea. Overall, I appreciated your well-though-out video and your informed yet humble delivery. Yes, we can all learn from each other. For instance, as soon as you mentioned that little packable nanopack (I'd love a link if you could), my mind went to all sorts of uses. That's a really good idea. And I know nothing about radios, so it was nice to learn about different antennas being useful in different circumstances.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

Reasonable feedback 👍. I second your suggestion of replacing items with a titanium Grayl bottle. With that he could forgo the fuel and pocket stove and just add more food that doesn’t require cooking. Three days doesn’t require cooking if you have water purification redundancy and ready to eat calories.

[@aliceguedes612]

Not much surface water in New Mexico... Have a filter so I can say I have one, and after filtering the water treat It !

[@polodeamon718387]

Overall I think this was a good video. You have a "why" behind the stuff you carry which is important. I have some recommendations I believe are worth considering. Try to lighten up some stuff. Look for alternates that weigh less. Every ounce adds up. Survival does not equal comfort. Jetboils are cool but hot food is not a necessity. You don't need to boil water if you have a filter. Titanium sporks are inexpensive. Flares are bulky and heavy, consider tea-lights. Glow sticks can be used with cordage for a buzzsaw if you want to signal, and they can be dim enough to not give away your position if you just need a little light. You probably don't need two water filters... consider using Smart Water water bottles. The 28mm threads are perfect for Sawyers. Cnoc also makes 1, 2, and 3L bags that use the 28mm threads. They are easier to fill up, tougher, and not so noisy. Baofeng makes the UV-5R, as well as other models, that you can by a battery that takes AA batteries to streamline your batteries. I didn't see you mention a knife (I may have missed it). Ditch the hatchet and bring something like a Mora knife. A Leatherman Surge is a great multitool as well for outdoorsy tasks (the leatherman waves big brother). Just some ideas i personally utilize to try and keep things light. If it only serves one purpose, especialy if it's heavy, it should be something that you NEED for survival not comfort. That's my two cents anyway.

[@lskazalski]

Hot food may not be necessary, but it's huge for morale. Having said that, in my day pack, I carry a 750 ml titanium mug/pot, a titanium solid fuel stove, and 4 fuel tablets. The whole kit weighs less than 4 ounces. I do have a water filter and carry a few purification tablets, but being able to boil water is a great backup. Water and fire get multiple bavoirs because they are critical systems. For fire, in addition to the ultralight stove, I carry a lighter, ferro rod, and 2 very light, compact forms of tinder. Agreed about the Sawyer squeeze filter and Cnoc collapsible bottles or smart water bottles. Use a 2 liter Cnoc bag for dirty water and filter into the collapsible bottles. I carry a Victorinox Huntsman as a multitool. It's heavy for backpacking, but lighter than a Leatherman. I've been carrying Victorinox knives for 60 years and they've never left me down. I have a small RovyVon A3 flashlight that clips on my ballcap brim, turning it into a headlamp and 2 glow sticks. I also carry a light 10k Mah power bank and a short multi charging cable. All of my gear is USB-C chargeable now.

[@Grizzly_feircy_tactical]

Dude that ain’t no small pair of bolt cutters! 😆🤣😂

[@jimssurvival4994]

Great video, i would add a first aid kit, for medical emergencies, a stainless steel bottle to boil water in. Nice kit...thanks for sharing

[@craigorzel5181]

I just came upon this video and I have to say that is a well thought out bag. I like how humble you are presenting everything. One thing as another way to start fires is a ferro rod. Another way to purify water that I have is the Grayl. You can get a titanium nesting cup for it and you can boil water with it. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to watching your other videos. Just curious, how much does your bag weigh with everything in it?

[@inamardesouza]

Really like your go bag. 😀Insect repellent is missing.

[@bendennis8773]

You could save some weight with the cook system. A lot of backpackers get these little pots like 500-750ml. I usually wrap my fuel canister with a wrag or bandana , drop in the sove and a mini bic and you are ready to go. Titanium pots can be found for under $40. Also dont forget you can boil your water instead of carrying all the extra filters. I use the stove to help light fires too. You could get some smaller binos like some 8x25 to save some weight. I think you could look at reducing some of this so you could get a compact sleeping bag or jungle blanket in there. I bought the same pack last year and it is a great pack for me. It mist have been designed for baby bear. I use some small molle pouches on the hip belt for some forward pockets. Just some thoughts, thanks for sharing, i have definitely not put as much thought into my sound as you and i probably should.

[@DougIn-le5gr]

[@brianswelding5222]

That Baofeng will receive FM radio stations

[@Grizzly_feircy_tactical]

I’ve got some suggestions on items you should carry: A handgun, A rifle (ar-15 chambered in 556/223 and/or a 308 bolt action rifle they could fit in the other bolt cutter pocket and the reason for the handgun and ar-15 is protection (ar-15 could be for hunting small to medium size game) and the 308 bolt action is for hunting medium to large game), a silcock key for water on the side of buildings and a different radio and maybe run a bino harness or a mini chest rig, and last but not least get optics like binos, rangefinder, and maybe thermal or nod monocular. And by the way I run all of the things stated.Thanks for reading y’all!

[@bryanburke7575]

Good load out.. I've got pretty much the same but a little bit more for where I am. Get a thermal blanket in VA. ECT

[@Theozman2]

Consider running head lamp, flashlight, and possibly radio on rechargeable 123 batteries. They do not leak like alkaline batteries. Low self discharge. More expensive but I’ve ruined multiple headlamps with alkaline batteries that leak so in the long run, better

[@robertjohnson668]

If it were me I would add a small sewing kit in case you tear a hole in your bag, gloves to move debris. N95 mask and goggles in case of smoke from a forest fire. Maybe a sillcock key. Another stainless steel water bottle in case you loose or break the plastic one. I would only use the mre and quick eat on the fly food and lose the stove and pot. Personally I wouldn't take the bolt cutters face paint and lockpick set, its added weight and it wouldn't look good getting caught with them. You may want to add a water crossing strategy in the plan as well. I didn't see a shit kit either.. maybe you have one. I think the radio and binoculars are a good idea. The range finder is iffy to me, don't think I would use it. My bag is 15 liters and is geared for 24 hours and about 6 pounds without water. I live in the southwest so water is a biggie this time of year. Good video looking forward to more!

[@dutchvanderbilt9969]

I would suggest a swapping out those waterproof matches for stormproof matches and if you want to, consider adding a firesteel in your pack if that's something you want to learn how to use. Also while I can definitely understand wanting some kind of eating utensil in your pack you really only need one so toss the other two. And one thing that doesn't really get brought up all that often is how does your EDC factor into your preps. For example, number one is what do you carry with you everyday that could aid you in a potential survival scenario. And number two would be how can your EDC supplement the items in your go bag?

[@davidhawkins847]

Not a bad setup. My main comment will be focused on your electronics, since you mentioned concerns keeping the Radio charged. Personally, I think that's the easiest to keep charged of ALL your electronics, especially since you didn't mention how you were planning to keep your cell phone charged. First, consider using rechargeable batteries for all your devices. I'll get into why latter. 2nd, if possible, consolidate your electronics that require batteries into as few DIFFERENT TYPES as you can. For example, ALL my electronics that have replaceable batteries can take 18650. I have some that use 21700, but have an adapter to use the 18650. Saves on the number of batteries I need to carry around as spares. You should be adding a battery bank (min 20K) to your load to help keep electronics charged. This way you can charge batteries and devices with non-removable batteries. I would suggest concentrating on USB-C type connections, but you can easily get around this limitation with adapters. Paired with a solar panel, as small as 10w, you could maintain a charge on ALL of your devices fairly easily depending on how heavy you are using them. There are plenty ways to keep the batteries charged. Some can be charged in the device, some have USB ports built in for charging, and there are plenty of compact portable battery chargers that weigh little. Unfortunately, I can't recommend what you need without knowing all the batteries you use or end up limiting yourself to. For myself, I currently have a Nitecore UMS2 which is a little big, but not heavy, and will charge ALL batteries I may need it for. The biggest problem I've run into for chargers is many are limited to a specific battery chemistry (Lithium or NiMH) or they fit the 18650/21700 unprotected, but not the Protected. This can be good or bad depending on your focus. If your focus is only to support what YOU carry, maybe you can get away with a small 4 AA/AAA charger that is about the size of a deck of cards. In my case, I use a bigger battery, plus I wanted to be able to support any battery chemistry that I may come across to help someone out who may be using something different. My main (minimum) electronics support kit contains: battery bank 20k+ 2 USB-C to USB-C cables 1 12vDC Adapter with 2 USB-C ports 1 AC adapter with at least 2 USB-C ports and usually 1 USB-A 1 pair of USB-C adapters for each common connection type ***** USB-C (F) to USB-Micro (M) ***** USB-C (F) to USB-mini (M) ***** USB-C (F) to Lightning (M) ***** USB-C (F) to USB-A (M) While I happen to carry additional stuff in my Electronics kit, this is the basics that will keep ALL devices that can use a regular USB connection for charging powered up, especially if you plan to be out awhile and add the solar panel to keep the battery bank charged. Minus the power bank, the total contents probably fit into a Ziplock sandwich bag or smaller. My total accessories kit, again minus the power bank, I carry in a school pencil bag. Oh, by the way, I suggest you add a ferro rod to your fire kit. Those lighters and matches can be great as first line fire making but have issues that can make them unusable where a ferro rod always sparks.

[@goose536]

Great video! Gonna "borrow" some ideas from your BOB. You got a new sub!

[@ElfAzzid]

You're not gonna need the bolt cutters. They're just extra weight. Better off with a sturdy pair of pliers or a leatherman. I was cutting and repairing fences at work with a Wave. If you're using that pot for cooking, you're gonna have to wash it. You'll either be wasting your drinking water, or carrying a dirty pot until you get to a water source. Better off with just a single tin cup if anything. Same for your spork. You can clean that with a damp rag. Get yourself a small collapsible stove rather than having to carry cans of gas and a burner. You can use twigs and stuff. Quickly extinguished if need be. No one needs a shemagh. Wear a hat. Warmth, bro. If you're just sleeping on a mat in a tent, you're gonna be cold and uncomfortable. Awake all night shivering. Most of the space in my BOB is blankets. I have a wool blanket for insulation, a thin polyester sleeping bag... like seriously its basically a throw rug with a zip.... and an ultralight down doona from Nakie. I've tested out my sleep system and I'm very cosy. I have a pole less tent I can set up with either sticks or a line between 2 trees. It's a recent upgrade from a mozzie net and a tarp, which served me well for years. I would give up other items for warmth at night, and I'm a hot sleeper. I kick the blankets off in winter with the windows open. Get yourself some wipes. The anti-bacterial hand wipes will do your butt too. You don't want it to dry and chafe. 😆 Also good for deodorising the pits and bits. Small bottle of hand sanitizer also works as deodorant. Water filter. Cheap ones do the job. Just fill up your bottle and drink it with a filter straw. EDIT: Large, wide bandaids for blisters. Tube of superglue for bad gashes.

Looks like you’ve put some thought into your gear👍🏻. Here’s my few suggestions-Exotac lighter case(protects from water and the gas button being accidentally depressed in your pack)-alcohol burner(it will burn Everclear grain alcohol which can be used for wound cleaning, disinfectant, you can drink it which I don’t recommend lol, and burns clean enough to be used in enclosed spaces)-a range finding monocular(would cut weight in your setup, serves double duty for ranging and observation, also doesn’t require batteries)-750ml nesting cup with a stainless non-insulated water bottle for cooking and boiling water-I like the Toaks long handle spoon(can reach the bottom of a bag of mountain house or whatever in a “boil” bag, anything I’d need a fork for I can just use my fingers…not a pre-planned luxury camping trip)-a medium sized fixed blade and ditch the hatchet(for a 24-48hr trip that you don’t want a fire signature at the most you need small wood for a mini woodburner or Dakota fire pit, you’ve got shelter covered so an axe or folding saw are probably overkill)-a fresnel lense can start fires on a sunny day to save your other consumable methods of making fire. I’m no professional either but those are some of the things I like in my kit. Oh yeah, cordage of some sort?

Shemagh bro!

You mentioned sound discipline several times but also mentioned cooking food. Cooking food is going to be a much bigger betrayal of activity than noise as most sounds won’t travel as far as the smell of cooking food.

Good kit. Good presentation. My 2 cents: Swap out the plastic filter bottle, collapsible pot, pocket stove and fuel. Replace with Grayl Titanium filter bottle and more ready to eat calories (no need to cook from a 3 day kit if you have water purification redundancy and ready to eat calories). Keep the road flares in your car, not your pack. Replace large fire starters with something light and compact like Pathfinder Mini Inferno. Ditch the heavy bolt cutters and replace with a multi tool that has good wire cutters.

@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 Old backpacker here. I kept thinking of lighter options while he was going through his pack. I use my camping gear as my emergency kit. I keep a fully loaded daypack in the back of my car at all times. I could easily live a few days with what's in there - and it weighs about 8#. I wouldn't be comfortable, but I would survive. If we had to run, all I'd have to do is pack some clothes, paperwork, cats, and grab 3 small totes. In 40+ years living in hurricane country, we've always been able to shelter in place.

Grayl are not worth the weight for the amount of water they can carry, i say swap that out with a couple Smart Water bottles, and a sawyer filter which can screw directly onto that bottle.

"I definitely got bit by a bug right there"......probably need some insect repellent in the bag.

One more thing you could also do a ruger 10/22 takedown 22lr pared with a sig p226 xfive legion 9mm and carry 100 rounds of 22lr and 100 rounds of 9mm your good for intill you get to your farm and add a folding fishing pole and a small fishing kit!

There’s almost no statistically probable scenario in a 1st world country where someone would need to ditch their vehicle, let alone have a backpack full of bushcraft gear to get home.

[@SupplyGuyActual]

lol

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

All it takes to have to ditch your vehicle is for the roads to be made impassable or your vehicle to break down. All that it takes to need “bushcraft gear” is the need to travel in a woodland environment to your destination (which this video didn’t have bushcraft gear by the way, he had hiking/camping gear). In short, your reasoning is flawed as are your conclusions.

If you're not going to show the tent set up, this is all for nothing, but thanks for the effort.

[@warlantactical]

Make sure your Shemage is not fake there are many fakes

[@florian_helias]

Adding B Rolls with close up views of the items you talk about would greatly help improve the video, most of the time we can't see what you're showing

[@tugrhinooutdooradventures7517]

Excellent video

[@EthanMowed]

Hey man, I love your bag and I can tell you’re a true patriot. I have one myself just like yours. But have you ever thought about having a Compass a map of the area you live in. And a good medical kit.

[@GLEN1061]

No tent! No bolt cutters, No Lifestraw you need better! No binos (go monocular) Med Kit? Lightweight insulation?

[@PNWGearReviews]

Lifestraw is lame, sawyer squeeze is way way better

[@warlantactical]

Zip locks are not waterproof at all

Lol not of a fan of a folding knife and carry a large fix blade that comment tells me you have no skill just talking

And your point ? Skill is skill ? People who have a bag over filled of kit tells the tail of real time experience. Snivel gear will way you down Example a tent is a crutch and will keep you stationary Leantoos and bivis and hammocks are multi use All gear should be multi purpose to save weight and mobility Again you are talking about a bugout bag Radio are usless with out a way to charge it and must be on repeaters 200 miles minimum Solar charging takes for ever
