Good to see another video mate and very informative 👍. Still a huge fan of your "INCH" long term survival bag and I keep the video saved because that level of organization and preparedness is what I aspire toward. Cheers!!! 🌲🎒🥾🌲

​@STIXSURVIVAL Superb video... I was impressed with how compactly you stowed the SOL escape bivvy .. I really like that pack I have the tasmanian tiger rfid edc wallet. .( best wallet I've ever owned) but I don't think I will be able to face getting rid of My maxpedition falcon 2...I just love it too much ...lol I used to pack the Pathfinder bottle kit , but I now pack the 1l nalgene stainless Steel bottle nested with my TBS 750 ml Billy can cup.. much heavier duty and an upgrade imo.. I respect the fact that your silky saw cuts better than any other but I think my bahco laplander is more reliable ... Overall I think your kit is really well thought out .. I never knew tcp was a bug repellent...I will now include some .. Love my sak ranger ... As an urban survival tool....I also carry a 14 inch ,ovalised, tool steel gorilla bar ... a lot of your other items are similar to mine ... Thanks for doing a long and detailed video .. Impressive..

Thanks so much for taking the time out to comment, I think you’ve cost me £20 on a new wallet 😂 Just had a look very nice. Yeah I hear what you’re saying with the bahco saw it’s much better all round. The TCP works well but defo keep off the face, if you get that in your eyes you’ll know about it. Smidge is the best up here in Scotland. Thanks again for your support.

@@davidjacobs828 Aye mate all the forest rangers up here recommend it.

You don't worry about "rodents" nibbling on the plastic container? I'm planning on hiding the next one under a "custom made" rock. When possible I like to build a fire in a "hole in the ground". No smoke. Not at night. Nowadays I use alcohol stoves . Overall great info!

Foxes 🦊 and badgers 🦡 will easily uncover it. Rats and mice and squirrels will gnaw through it. Better to dig it far deeper with stones and soil and finally rocks on top and some natural camouflage....and the container 🫙 should preferably be made of rustproof metal.

@@Globetrotter-1 Hi there thx for taken the time to watch and comment. Yes I agree the pots used in this video are only to provoke the thought process and long term should indeed be buried and surrounded with stones to keep the critters away.

Hi ya mate 👋, hope your keeping well. And thank you for posting another fantastic thought provoking video. So as I live in a small quiet little town called London, do I have a bug out bag ? And more to the point a bug our plan. Yes I have several bags ready to roll if needed. But mainly designed to be kept in our vehicle's to cover an emergency overnighter say due to bad weather or breakdown. Always have had a bag packed with essentials, but that's because im ex military and think it's just something that stays with us when we try to integrate back into civilian life 😂. The days of me lugging twice my bodyweight in kit are long gone even if in my mind I'm still that Royal Marine commando I once was. My body definitely doesn't want to play. I do desperately need to get some training with a pack in hopefully soon but unfortunately at present due to the radiotherapy they've now discovered? That my immune system is a bit buggered at the minute. So just having to be careful of picking up any germs or sneezes 🤦‍♂️. So now bug out plan ....to stay put. I'll explain 1. In the event of a full on eotw shtf situation to hit London there'd be millions of people panicking to escape from the city. Closing roads, rail networks etc. Besides everyone will be heading up to Scotland to help drink your mead 😉🍺 2. My eldest daughter is disabled and unless we're able to drive wouldn't be able to travel. 3. I have everything in place here. 4. By the time I'd decided what kit to take with me the shtf event would be over ( think that's why I never got the Thunderbird 2 pilot job, those pods don't just pick themselves ) There's other reasons but there for another day. And yes I do have a back up plan but that'd be implemented if required. So my take on a bug out bag say for a flood or storm or a situation that'd require you to leave home say for a couple of nights. Copies of important paperwork, birth certs, insurance etc Change of clothes Wash kit Medications Glasses ( blind as a bat without mine now too ) Food and water ( enough for say 24 hours, to tide you over until help arrives ? ) Am/ fm battery Radio Torch Mobile phone plus charger/ battery bank. Money, credit cards. Obviously the above list is only good for an urban type short term emergency evacuation. So now to look at your bag and contents. I like the modular systems that are interchangeable. Great idea to reduce weight and clear space say if your foraging or collecting stuff. And are able to cache any un needed kit in one of your cache locations. I like to look at cache locations as a kind of spiders Web with maybe the odd curve ball location thrown in for good measure. Love the fake locations too. I employ a similar tactic but with a completely different area ( marked ) O/s map just incase I do have to skip dodge. Maybe add some barter items in a couple of caches just incase you come across some friendlies. Soap, little miniatures of whiskey. That kind of thing. And always handy if you need them yourself. We could probably discuss items to include forever, hopefully along with your video mate, these mumblings of mine help to give people ideas too. Stay safe my old mukka Atb Rob

Hi Rob thanks again for finding the time to comment on my content. Hang on in there mucker it will all come good again, as X old soldiers 😂 we have a special mentality that gets us through and if not what size of shoes are you? 😂 I’m only now getting back to normality after all my treatment so it definitely takes time. Love the idea of the barter items and she will make someone else really happy once tamed. All the best feel free to reach out if you want a chat about things.
