Yes, You Should Have a Bug Out Bag

[@derealovesurvival7549]

Having a bug out bag is a game changer . Do not worry about views just keep making videos Thanks for sharing atb and God bless

[@whiskeybook]

Thank you for the blessing and I'll have more on the way. Hopefully something lighter next time.

My BOB is belted into my truck. And duplicated in smaller kits throughout it as well, to be used as a GHB. Being a Nomad, my home is also a BOB. My EDC is uncomfortably a GHB just in case I'm not at my truck in an emergency. But that doesn't happen often. Something that I don't see people putting in their bags is medications. If you are going to be bugging out, or trekking to get home you may need them. Also in my FAK, I keep a few benadryl in case of allergy attacks. Have saved a couple lives because of this.

[@whiskeybook]

Having medications in the bags is an excellent tip. I'm going to add mine.

[@markcoraa]

Watching the series. I enjoyed them all. I like you, your down on my level. No disrespect 'down' on my level, you're level earth, and not over my head. Many are over my head, 5-7 minutes, I'm out. I enjoy you vids.

[@johnlynch7834]

Good video. Those small metal crossbow bolts break very easily. The metal separates from the plastic.I would put an edible plants book in the pack.Thanks

[@whiskeybook]

Great idea on the book.

[@12313846]

Admitting that you are no expert is meaning you are going to be an expert. Because you are open to input from other people.

[@Strateegee24]

I like the book recommendations. I think I have Bushcraft 101 on my bookshelf. I built my bag the same way. It started as a basic 72 hour bag back in the 90s and evolved into Frankenstein's monster over the last 25 years. Great video! keep it up!

[@donaldgupko9002]

2 things I would add is some one a day vitamins and a silver sun shade for a wind shields for sleeping or sitting on. They weigh next to nothing

[@MoonShadow74]

I personally wouldn't worry about vitamins as a bug out situation is designed for a short term escapade. The intention is to head to someplace safe where you can resume your vitamin intake. However, having a sun shading umbrella can be a life saver. I have stood by the side of the road in the desert for days at a time trying to gather a little respite from the searing agony of the sun by lurking in the shade of a lamp post on a freeway onramp trying to get back home. An umbrella would have been such a relief. Wind blown snow or hail could also be deterred by one. I now own two umbrellas. One for hiking and is specifically meant for sun block and another regular for rain or wind blown snow.

[@whiskeybook]

Maybe vitamin C. If you are stuck in the cold and wet for even a couple days, it could stave off a cold.

[@shaynehawkins713]

Look into the ar-6 stinger 2 repeating tactical crossbow. I have bodkin bolts and hunting arrows. The bodkin bolts can penetrate soft body arrow. Plus i wont run out of bullets.

[@redneckhippy2020]

Great vid. While I do tend to loathe the idea of electronics in a long term bag I'm considering adding a gyro powered radio/light with usb charging ports to my bag. For years I've carried a rather heavy gyro powered flashlight (as I don't like to carry things that will run out, like batteries, aerosols, lighters, etc.), but in recent years such gear now has charging ports for usb rechargeable toys. I used to have a gyro powered shortwave radio, but it got carried away in a drybag by a bear one day years ago, lol. Oh, and those roll-out solar battery packs are garbage. They will take days in full sunlight to regenerate anything worthwhile. So in short one gyro powered radio with light and usb charging ports can replace a lot of other gear.

[@kaostheory3272]

Personally I live in South Florida where we get a lot of hurricanes since I moved here I had a bug out bag built it's been 15 years every 6 months I go through it refresh my food my batteries any other perishables it's a 40 lb pack and consisting me for up to 2 weeks very comfortably

[@whiskeybook]

That's a very valid reason to have a bugout bag. Great job keeping up on the perishables.

[@thegoose8545]

Very good sir. I enjoyed this one

[@whiskeybook]

Much appreciated 🙏

[@shaynehawkins713]

I have my survival bag. It will be what is needed. Both short term and long term survival. If the power plants get hit im not surviving in my apartment. Im not lone wolfing it. Ill be searching for people and communes.

[@whiskeybook]

I would suggest setting up the commune first. If you try when things are going crazy the welcome party might not be too happy.

Oh i got the becker bk2 ka-bar. Full monster heavy beast. Its strapped on the back of my backpack.

Baby wipes are cheaper than Dude wipes and work just as well. Id throw in some cash in case you can get fuel or a hotel room, or far enough away to hit up a grocery store.

[@whiskeybook]

Great idea on the cash. I have a truck wallet I'll be doing the next video on where I have some, but I need to put money in this bag.

[@SurvivalSavvvy]

Thwo it out in the sun? WHAT!!!! LOL have you ever walked into the wilderness funny thing about those trees over you head they prevent you from charging unless you plan you to sit for a week in a field. LOL

[@whiskeybook]

In my area there are gaps in the trees coverage. Even if you find yourself in a dense area, it doesn't take long to find an area you can get some sun.

[@SurvivalSavvvy]

I do not use molle at all its just more straps to weigh me down.

[@43Lugan]

Just found you. Excellent content!

[@whiskeybook]

Thank you sir

[@MoonShadow74]

Good stuff but would your pack be lighter without all the packaging on some of the things? Water is ESSENTIAL and a Grayl is the best thing I have found for making questionable sources perfectly drinkable. A Bug Out Bag is just as necessary as a Get Home Bag. They are just two variations built for different purposes.

[@whiskeybook]

Yes and yes

[@shaynehawkins713]

So between my backpack that has food and shelter in it my battle belt has all essential gear. I want too get a chest harness. You need to distribute your weight of your gear better.

[@whiskeybook]

I have my battle belt set up as well. That goes on, then I ask my kid to haul this big bag around.

[@shaynehawkins713]

@@whiskeybook Yeah battle belts are great.

[@SurvivalSavvvy]

WOW thats a knife. Not sure what you will use it for,. But that's a lot of weight to carry

[@whiskeybook]

It's actually light for what it looks like. Very tough, but easier to sharpen than super steals.

[@SurvivalSavvvy]

@@whiskeybookAny knife is easy to sharpen if you a person knows how. I carry Dan's Whetstone Arkansas sharpening stones in my hiking pack. I posted a video on it the other day explaining them.

[@SurvivalSavvvy]

Also check my community section I just bought a cheaper pack I am going to convert to get home bag. This should be interesting because I do not want to use high end stuff but I was to use decent stuff. Ninja Shtf Get home lol

I had a external frame military backpack loaded with shit years ago i had too have my boy carry. Get rid of all non essential gear. I have a silky saw. No axe. They are dumb. Plus i toke all my essential gear in put it in my battle belt. Carrying all that weight on your back is horrible.

[@whiskeybook]

I really want a duffle with wheels, but all the good ones are over $200.

[@shaynehawkins713]

@@whiskeybook I considered a sling backpack. I also thought of a duffel bag. Never knew they came with wheels.

[@SurvivalSavvvy]

So this is a bugout right? Never coming back? Stores are not open? Batteries will die unless you have them inside the headlight and you can charge them you might find a battery to do it. To carry battiers is a waste and glow sticks??? Do they run out?? Anything that runs out DOES NOT go into a bug out baf

[@whiskeybook]

I don't define a bugout bag like that. But I get what you're talking about. Bugging out can mean getting to the next location.

[@shaynehawkins713]

You have way too much. Like i have a finger ring slingshot. Lightweight mountain house meals. My headlamp, fire making material is now a last ditch effort. Ill be making pine bark torches and large upside down fires.

[@PatMcGuriman]

Your Background told the whole story. But Thank you as you always tell us that are not with Satan or Lucifer to prepare. I will pray that you sold your soul, because Lucifer does not win, GOD wins per his words. Your telling people the truth, because Revelation says Fire per God. I hope you Repent.

[@MoonShadow74]

You sir; sound like a wacko. At least your comment does.

[@SurvivalSavvvy]

KZbin search this "2024 Urban Apartment Bug Out Bag" Urban knife guy I should make a video on this guy. Notice my comments to him he spend all this money on shiney gear and never used it one time he even admits to it. I find 1000's of these people and when I say something I normally get banned. LOL but you might get a giggle from my comments to him

I'm going to check that out. Shiny is fun, but doesn't get the dirty job done.
