Always interesting to view others ideas. When people see a laundry basket in the back of my rig with a pack and such often they are curious why I carry all that "stuff". Easy. Nearly 20 years ago I was in a city during a major earthquake. The roads were gridlocked , phones (cell and land) were down and I had 3 children in school. I was a single parent ( wife passed away very young) I had no gear , I was wearing a suit with business attire shoes and I was looking at over a 20 mile walk through so very bad areas to get home. I did it , but I was cold , tired had horrid blisters etc. I learned a lesson.

Nice looking kit. Always great to go through your kits every once in awhile just to make sure nothing's expired nothing's leaked. One thing I would add instead of the peanut butter is something like a mountain house dehydrated meal because they have a 25 year shelf life. Thank for the video!

I love seeing guys who pack around crap they will never use, makes for a great hobby.

Hello from Oklahoma! Good stuff.I added a mill bastard file and sharpening puck to my bag. Thanks for the good videos! God Bless!

My first GHB was done with Recommendations from tracker school, I need to go through it to update it. Thanks for your updates. Time to reassess.

One thing that I carry in mine is an E-tool (My personal favorite is the Gerber folding spade with the serrated edge). It has saved me many times, getting me out of snow, and other miscellaneous tasks. They serve many functions, especially those with a serrated edge. The tri-fold design makes it low profile, and the polymer handle cuts down on weight. It will also not get as hot/cold as a metal handle. They are relatively inexpensive, light weight, and low profile. In my opinion, every vehicle and survival bag should contain one.

From another Ghost pack user, I can second about the versatility & reliability of the pack. Although mine is in Kryptek Mandrake (which is made in Poland instead of Vietnam)

You and I have the same truck, same bedcover, and same bag. Good video man!

Hay bud , nice update on your GHB , thanks n keep uploading!!!😎😎

Overall good kit, but some important stuff I didn't see: -Shelter? Tube tent at minimum? Even if you're "walking strait home" stuff happens. -Water containers for mobile water (canteen, bottle, water bladder, etc.) Life straw is ok, but a $20 sawyer that can squeeze some water into a canteen to-go does same job and more. -For the space you take up with peanut butter cups in expensive "pod", just get a small $2 jar of PB. Much more calories for the space and costs almost nothing.

I like your bag contents. Everyone has different bags and gear, as they should, since everyone's get home situation will vary. Mine has to be configured for more long distance. One item I would suggest is some kind of dust mask with safety goggles....a situation with breathing difficulties and eye irritation due to air contaminants or heavy dust/smoke is not an unlikely scenario.

Consider investing in a good pair of cutting pliers or linemen's pliers. I have a pair of Kobalt Front Cutting Pliers (not the highest quality but decent). You can use them for cutting fences and small branches for fire wood. Depending on the brand you can put a ring and a caribiner on them and hang them on the outside of your pack so they don't take up any space. Really useful and versatile tool.

Ha....I have the same bag (in Polish camo), the axe and ESEE 6. The saw I have in my bag is the Silky Super Accel 21 (about the same size as the Laplander) I like those gear pods...might have to look into those. Thanks for the vid.

Add a rat trap and a couple of nails. Use your imagination as how to combine those to catch meat. You already have the bait (peanut butter).

You say its a "get home bag" but there is a ton of weight you could strip from that pack that really serves no purpose trying to get home on foot. Ditch the tools......what do you expect to work on walking home? Ditch the spices....wtf are they in there for anyways considering your not carrying food to spice lol. Ditch all the gels/snacks for a couple MREs or some freeze dried food. Will weigh the same and packaging is already waterproof. Your energy levels will be much higher and sustainable with the extra calories compared to fast sugars and caffeine. You need extra dry socks.....mandatory! You have a compass but no map? Do you keep a pair of hiking style boots in the truck? Im sure you wear shoes at times that are not suitable for distance hiking and rough terrain. Just a few things i noticed.

That's about too much for a get home bag... Saw and hatchet? Spices? 3 pens? 2 write in the rain pads? 2 space blankets? I'd say add more prepped food that will allow you to keep getting home and not have to stop to prep. Not certain that's a get home bag so much as it is a personal "do-it-all edc bag." Definitely some great gear, but it's not a GHB, by a long stretch.

Are you setting up a bush camp or trying to get home to your family..... Spices....you don't have any food in the pack to season? A book on survival? Study that now, not during an emergency..... your med kit looks big enough to do surgery. Useful things I would add: energy bars, a small crank radio for news and weather reports, water bottle, water proof poncho, $200 in cash in small bills, a non lethal weapon like pepper spray or collapsible baton, maps or your surrounding area.

Why such a big knife and a saw when you have an axe? One or two of those I think could go or at least be replaced with a lot less weight. Curious if there’s a real reason for it or just caution. And peanut butter seems like a bad move for a bag if you aren’t checking/replacing stuff frequently. Plenty of good sources of calories that would take up similar space but are less likely to spoil. Overall the selection seems a combination of extra and under cautious.
