One thing I always think is overlooked, that I almost always carry, is a deck of cards. You'd be amazed at how helpful that is to take your mind off things when you're just waiting for something to happen. Half of surviving is psychological. Keeping your mind active while conserving energy is vital.

Yeah but you never know. I would say he could put a few different things in there. Number 1. Really good Walky talkies. Number 2 a life straw. Number 3 one of the bags should have a few smaller black and cable pulleys. You may have to move a downed tree to get through, I had to do that once and pulled out a few of those and good to go. Also, a silky saw and a hatchet. I have a survival bag for me and my wife and daughter, all slightly tailored and I have one more with just tools. Do I bring them everywhere? No of course not. Not if I’m going to the store or running errands or work. Do I bring them anytime we go on a road trip, or camping, or if my work takes me a few hours away? Yep every time. Also if your state permits a gun, at least a pistol. If your in a state with large wildlife like bears and mountain lions like I am in Utah, a pistol with some higher caliber rounds or FMJ’s or hollow tips. Something with some good stopping power. Just last year this guy was on a hike and almost got eaten by a mountain lion in Utah, crazy video, but look that up. I also bring more cash, but that’s just me. And one last thing, a nice empty mountain back pack so if I need to walk or go on a hike or travel by foot I can do so and pack just what I need out of the bags. My wife and daughter may stay put and I may need to travel by foot. And if we know we are doing a road trip or camping we have our big tent but I always bring my small two person hammock tent, just in case there’s a break down. We can get above some ground wildlife like snakes and bugs, and raccoons and be suspended in the trees. Which is perfect if we break down and I set them up with a fire and that while I trek towards civilization

Nice practical bob vid, i feel like a lot of people think that when they "bug out" they will be kicking doors and practicing extreme survival skills. I appreciate seeing a kit that is grounded by reality.

I would include a stainless steel bottle that you can use on a fire. If you're out for too long, you might need to purify some water to keep yourself hydrated. Inside that bottle I would keep a clean bandana and some good strong rubber bands in there. That way you can cover the opening with the bandana to filter out large particulates and place it in the stream to get slightly cleaner water. It's still not really drinkable until you boil it, but at least it keeps it free of stuff you don't want to drink. I also like to carry this nifty wind up flashlight that doubles as a charger and a radio.

Hey Wranglerstar, I live in Bend OR and I got to say I love seeing a local that helps protect our wilderness. Thank you for keeping Oregon safe

As a scout leader i can vouch that these are great things to carry! I have got one small correction though. You don't actually lose most of your heat through your head, it's a common misconception though. You loose most of the heat through your torso. Thing is, almost everyone got some kind of clothing keeping the heat in on the torso. But people forget their heads. So the "You lose 80% of heat through you head", is because it's often the only barren skin on the body. Thus, obviously giving off heat more easily. Until you put on a hat or beanie of some sort. Anyways, great video with good tips!

Solid kit!

Well thought out kit Cody! Thanks for the suggestions. Personally, four items I ALWAYS have in my kit are 1. Toilet Paper 2. Zip lock freezer bags 3. A sewing kit and 4. Zip ties.

Great video!! As I watch though I came up with two changes/ additions to your list. Other than these things I thought that your kit was great! 1. The canteen should be metal. 2. Your knife should not be a cheap knife. If it really is for survival, then why wouldn't you put your best knife inside, or at least an extremely good one? Your future hypothetical self will curse you in a disaster when all you give yourself is junk. 3. I would add a tarp for shelter, maybe a second tarp as a ground sheet in case you have to sleep in the rain. 4. I would also add a small folding saw, like the BAHCO Laplander or Silky Gomboy to help process a small fire in the cold. 5. You may want a pair of Binoculars or a monocular to see further ahead of you to check for the myriad things worth seeing.

I use klean kanteen steel water bottles, one of the reasons is it doesn't leach or change the water taste over time. can also cook/boil with it if necessary.

Never even thought about extra contacts or glasses, what an oversight on my part. Thanks for the info.

Mostly I am only lurking around this channel and not commenting much, but from time to time I simply have to say that I love that channel and the way you gyus live your life! Keep up the good work sir and sty safe! Greetings from Germany

Hey Cody, there's this neat little book I grabbed at a Barnes and Nobles called "Pocket Ref, by Thomas J. Glover." It's a small 2.5''x4''x1'' thick reference book with a HUGE range of useful information that you might run into every day, from common densities and strengths of metals/polymers, magnetic declination maps, automotive references, electronics and circuitry reference, loading values for concrete and soft/hardwoods, guides for first aid procedures, area codes by state, glue strength, airport locations and phone numbers, basic geometry/trigonometry for quick calculations, geology, knot tying, steel strength, etc. It has everything. It's got information on basically anything you'd need to quickly reference and I find myself glancing at it and learning something new every single day. It's the perfect pocket-sized book for quickly figuring out something I don't know. The one downside is that, because of how in-depth it is (850 pages), the paper is very thin, and of course it's not waterproof so I keep it in a zip-lock when I go camping/hiking. I think the retail is $12.95, but it's honestly the best money I've spent on a book in my entire life. It would make a perfect addition to this bag, I'd highly suggest grabbing one from Amazon or your nearest book store and giving it a glance.

Pretty good bag set up. Only recommendations would be to swap the down for a fleece jacket. Down is warmer but won't insulate when wet. If the rain jacket doesn't do it's job the down will get soaked. Swap out the radio for a ham/2meter radio. Ham can still receive weather band or AM/FM, also provides a means of communication. You could communicate with others is the emergency or hit a repeater and contact emergency services.

May I suggest some extra ammo for your EDC gun? A box or a couple magazines of whatever hollow points you use, or standard FMJ rounds.

Wind-up Radio and Torch are handy too, no worries about batteries going bad or getting to hot/cold to work.

Nice to see your kit! Consider that you may need to trek for miles with your bag so make sure it’s suitable for comfort and weather proof. If you use a wheel/press lighter, you can put a small cable tie around the button to prevent accidental leakage of gas. Also, for weight purposes, you can get radios with built in phone chargers and flashlights. They might not be ideal as a main phone charger or flashlight but they can be handy backups. Remember the Navy Seal saying; “two is one, one is none”. Great video and it’s great that the kit isn’t over-packed!

I carried a SOG Seal Pup on my leg while patrolling for eighteen years. Never had to use it, thank goodness. Never rusted, stayed sharp, good quality and dependable. Moe

Old military poncho doubles as a shelter. The metal eyelets are good for tying the corners to trees and such. The snaps allow two or more to be connected for a bigger shelter or to have sides. And you can use it for a rain coat or to help keep you warm. You can sit over a candle and it will hold in the warmth a bit. A poncho will go over your pack while hiking too. You can tri fold it over some limbs to make a stretcher as well if needed. Very versatile. Throw down grass or whatever for bedding, and throw the poncho down over it to keep clean, a moisture barrier, and keep your bedding in place better. Many uses. Probably could even make a hammock out of it.

Love the studio setting.

nice kit. I always carry an emergency blanket and some basic 1st aid stuff with me when i go hiking or trail running

I'd also add a couple things. I keep an old towel, like a beach towel in my truck in case I need to dry off for whatever reason, cut it up for rags or bandages, or more than likely in case I need to work on my truck to keep a barrier between myself and hot asphalt. Gloves are another good thing to have. Even cheap work gloves or mechanic's gloves are far better than nothing if it's cold, or to protect your hands for whatever reason. Another thing I'd suggest are plastic bags. Even if you have your own raincoat, someone else might not. A 40-gallon trash bag sure isn't a great replacement for a rain coat but you can cut a couple holes in it and make a makeshift poncho, maybe only get halfway soaked during a downpour but better than being fully drenched. Also from personal experience I highly recomment grocery bags. I've used them to keep my feet dry. I was stuck in a snowstorm and spent the night in a cabin after getting wet and cold all night trying to make it there and get cars unstuck. My shoes and socks were still soaked the next morning. I put my only dry change of socks on, put the grocery bag over them to keep them dry, put my wet socks over the plastic bag to protect it and then put my shoes back on. After a whole morning of stomping through the wet snow trying to get out of there my feet were still dry. Ever since then I always keep a couple plastic bags with my emergency gear.

Great advice to carry an extra pair of shoes with you. Extra socks would be a nice addition and easy to stuff in the shoes. Cody, God bless you and yours!

I bought a daypack when I signed up for a community college class. It evolved into an EDC bag with 10 essentials-Plus. It was on my rollaway toolbox at work, I carried it to the lunchroom, took it on camping trips, etc. I joked it contained WW3. But, every January and July, I would inventory, inspect, improve, repair, recharge, and replace.

One caution on the MRE. They lose shelf life in heat by a significant amount. If the bag is being kept in a vehicle, it can get quite hot in there. Granola bars, bags of nuts, etc. might be a better choice and cheaper.

My kit has a full/sealed package of Kirkland Baby Wipes. They are strong fiber and unscented. Staying clean on a 3-5 day hike is highly underrated! Also, if you let your used wipes dry/sit out for a while you can use them for a fire starter. You can also pre-filter water with them before adding tablets to purify.

You should add a space blanket to keep you warmer and use as a temporary shelter.

great videos. loving the content.

I personally would add a solar power charger for my phone. They can be bought on Amazon for cheap, and can be very compact.

Love the vibe he gives off

You may have just not mentioned it, but I try to always carry a tourniquet in both my EDC and any bag I have ready to go. I quite like the RATS, but obviously the CAT is a great contender too. Love your videos, Cody!

Instead of using the purification tablets I would toss in a Sawyer mini. I think I got mine for around $25 including shipping from Amazon in Canada. Other things I like to keep bag is toilet paper, ziplock bags, something to read and most importantly a tarp maybe two. Good for shelter and to put on the ground to keep your dry from the ground but take up little space.

With my kit in the electronics pocket, we also have a 3-outlet power strip. It has come in handy when traveling when only one outlet is available, and several family members need to charge phones. I like the 3-outlet because it is small but provides a couple outlets for you while still leaving one open outlet for someone else. A short extension cord could be used instead, but keep in mind the prongs. Our laptops use a three-prong charger (not saying laptop should be in bugout bag) so we went with the powerstrip. If your chargers are all two-prong, the go ahead and use the extension cord, the length could come in handy.

Watched several of your videos. Appreciate your willingness to share and help. Thank you.

Great video good advice, just wanted to point out as a one time insulation contractor that hot air (or other gas) rises due to it's lower density but heat radiates in all directions. Sometimes a house has it's worst heat loss through the basement. Still a good idea to wear a hat but heat can't rise in the body. BTW keep up the good content.

@averyo2521

The 'you lose most of your body heat through your head' thing is partly myth. It comes from an old study the military did, which found that heat loss from your head happens at about the same rate as any other exposed skin. The 'most loss from your head' came from the scenario they ran where the only thing left exposed was the person's head - in that case then yes, its an accurate statement. But really the findings are that there isn't a ton of difference in heat loss per exposed square inch of your body across different parts - just that heat loss is much worse on exposed skin. So it doesn't help to wear a hat if you're wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but if you're bundled up but forget your hat - that's the next thing to fix. Pretty common sense in practice, nothing special about your head though I'm afraid.

+Jack Hudler - I also agree that you should cover your head! If its cold outside and especially if you're going to be outside. The only nit I'm picking is the assertion that you lose 'most' of your heat through your head - (often quoted between 45-80%), which 10% doesn't come close to. Your head is around 7-8% of your body's surface area, and you lose 7-10% of your body heat through your head, so there may be a slight effect due to the extra blood vessels surface area. These findings were mostly the results of two different studies (linked the one I could find the full text of below). That being said, while the actual surface heat loss is close to proportional to surface area, the core body temperature appears to drop disproportionately, partially due to vasoconstriction and the body's response to cold as detected by specific sensory areas in the head and neck. Soooo.....everyone's right? Surface heat loss isn't as high as the common wisdom would lead you to believe, but other effects can mean that an exposed head can lead to a faster core body temperature drop. Either way if you're going to be out in the cold bundle up your head as well as the rest of you! (I just had to find the science on it - its actually really fascinating!) source: citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.593.9244&rep=rep1&type=pdf (this article comes with nits to pick too, as this tests exposure to cold water not air, and specifically eliminates the effect of shivering, both of which are factors you wouldn't see in an Oregon winter. Either way wear a darn hat!)

An augment to the rain jacket is that I pack 2 or 3 heavy-duty contractor trash bags. The really thick one work as a raincoat or with multiple an ok shelter. They are not breathable and lack sleeves but they hold out water 100% instead of getting soaked through.

I love that you mentioned REALISTIC SCENARIOS. I always tell friends and family to prepare for the "most likely scenario" first. Then you are 90% covered for the rest because your mindset is still in preparedness mode. You could deal with a bullet wound with what you have. It wouldn't be pretty, but you are better equipped than 90% of the EMTs in their personal car.

Good job Cody! Our kits are very similar, I am constantly looking for suggestions for revisions. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Having some fun binge watching. Probably others have pointed these out already but just in case: need to add insulated gloves to the kit. I would up the amount of emergency cash and use smaller bills - 5’s and 1’s, and although weight of the go-bag is a big consideration, either $10 roll of quarters, or 2 $5 rolls of dimes. If you have a regional or national disruptive event almost immediately you’ll encounter price gouging for essentials. For example, I got caught in NYC during great Northeast black out of 2003. I had $4 in my wallet, was 40 miles from home, and all ATM’s were dead. It was a warm day and some bodegas almost immediately jacked up the price of bottled water and demanded exact change. You’ll need much more than $20 cash if the poop hits the fan. Lastly - IMO the go bag itself has to be easily and comfortably carried, so for me the ideal bag for this purpose is a grab-‘n-go good quality backpack. Great video though..

you lose equal amounts of heat everywhere in your body. unlike houses we have blood which keeps us evenly heated.

this is true, but you are probably wearing clothes everywhere else already. and in the winter when the wind is freezing your ears off, you would be glad for a hat.

Eli Chouinard You lose the most heat from your head, because your head, no matter the circumstances, always gets a constant amount of blood to keep your brain provided. Also, the veins in your head don't vasoconstrict, instead of all other veins in your body so it is more easy to loose heat from your head.

I'd also consider adding a scarf or shemagh.

Seems like a good practical list. I may have missed it, but I might add a space blanket or two and a little cordage

Good stuff. My late wife & I were in the Northridge Quake. A lot of roads & freeways were closed. So we put together kits of simular idea. And they were in old fire packs. Thanks for doing this. (Ladies will want to include items special to their meeds.) Your compass is an excellent choice. The red or black lanyard that came with it was for attaching to a grommet or buttonhole to prevent loss. (It was not for the neck, which is why it was a tad short.)

In an emergency where I have to rely on myself to survive, I want a firearm in that bag. No mention of one?

Man, I need to shop the thrift stores in your area :-0 would love to find anything like mtn hardware etc in one! While it'd be unlikely to see those brands in my area, it's still solid advice to check them out for cheap clothes.

Hit Good Will, Salvation Army, US Army / Navy Surplus stores... they are in most big cities, sometimes they are hidden and you gotta search for em. but with the internet you can find em.

Great kit. Basic, yet fairly comprehensive. Thanks!

A few LIFE STRAWS are always good to have too. Great video!

james mcdonald I do have a 22lr 10/22 take down we carry in our small camper. I've never felt the need to carry a hand gun on a regular basis. Even though we were attacked by a bear once in the BWCA I still feel ok with not carrying a hand gun. It's just too much weight to carry. I always have an axe or my wrist rocket slingshot near by to defend myself should I seriously need protection. Beside using a slingshot is a lost art that I intend to bring back. Lol. Slingshots are everywhere and extremely deadly if you keep calm. But then again keeping calm is the most difficult thing in life that a person NEEDS to learn for survival. I'm not saying I have complete control over my emotions but I did calmly lay on an operating table while a surgeon cut a 10cm stage three malignant tumor from my abdomen. It's was during the next seven months that maintaining a level of calmness that provided to be difficult. Lol Be well Cody and family.

sure i suppose they would if they broke into your car, but i don't think its much different them them breaking into your house. Here you don't have to store them in a safe, you can put a trigger lock or cable lock on and display a rifle on the wall if you want. or if you don't want to put a locking device on the firearm then you have to put them in a safe

I wonder how us old guys survived, thrived, basically carrying only a sheath knife and a bolt action 30.06 or 30/30 lever action rifle. A lot less "stuff" and a lot more work-around back-in-the-day.

With an Altoids tin survival kit in my pocket, a lever-action .30-30 with bandolier sling, handgun w/spare mags(minimum size of 9MM), a quality/good size Multi-Tool for firearm repair/general use, a metal military canteen w/metal cup, a Nepalese Kukri, and a good all around size hunting knife like a Western L66(4.5 inch blade, 8.75 inch overall), there are not many scenarios that will arise in the wild that I would not be able to handle. When I'm in my woods hunting within a 10 minute walk from my house I will only carry my rifle, handgun, knife and canteen. When I go deep in my woods, any time I plan on going more than a 1/2 hour hike from the house I make sure I take my survival kit, Multi-Tool, and kukri as well. There are so many people these days that go extremely overboard when they go in the woods. Some younger people pack so much stuff when they go hunting, many items of which they have no experience with, us old timers have to laugh when we see the contents of their packs. The saying goes, "Those who know more need to carry less."

Possum Jenkins He could call it what it is, "What I keep in a emergency car bag" or something of the like. Rather than "YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND IN MY BAG" or the current title he is using. The titles he's been using lately are click-bait and are meant to manipulate people into watching. If the content is good and worth watching, people will watch. You don't need pathetic titles to catch views. People who want to watch will watch, people who don't, won't. Too much of the Internet is click-bait and it's a lousy way of doing things and I'm tired of it.

What I did for radio and lighting is a cool little emergency flashlight I got from my stepfather that was a Baltimore City firefighter for 30some years. It's got a flashlight, red flashing LED signal light, and an AM/FM radio but what the coolest thing about it is it's got a small solar panel on top, a hand crank, and it takes AA batteries too, so if the batteries are dead I can charge it with sunlight, but at night I can crank it by hand.

Love the video. I have been carrying a bag for years but there were a couple of things that I dont carry and your bag made a lot of sense. Thanks
