    Some of us have been doing this for decades, and while your video is great at covering most of the stuff you missed some of the important things. 1.) Passport 2.) Spare cash 3.) Destination 4.) Alternate Plan 5.) USB Drive with copies of Important Documents. 6.) Phone numbers and Addresses of Friends, Family and EMS written down. 7.) Change of clothes (with attire that is suitable for bugging out) in a separate bag.

    Andrew, I have a question about survival: what about digging for shelter? Is there ever a situation where digging a small trench is a good idea? I assume not, since I haven't hardly heard anything about it, but I was wondering..If you had a shovel and a pick, would it ever make sense to dig a man-sized trench, cover it, and use it for shelter? (Let's limit it to the context of wilderness survival, not trench warfare or people trying to harm you).

    One thing I've noticed with bugout bag videos is noone talks about clothes, if you're caught wearing shorts, a singlet and open toe shoes and grab that bag you're going to be left short. In a bugout situation clothes and footwear has to be part of the prep and not just expected that you have that already.

    Good video. One thing that is important to note is that we do need to prepare for unforeseen circumstances. For example, what if you get to your bugout location(s) but it is somehow compromised. Having those metal containers to boil water would help you extend the use of your bag beyond the planned timeframe for movement. Thats also why i like to see that you included a more robust sleep system. Too many throw in a SOL Escape Bivy and call themselves covered. One additional thing id like to see in your kit is a small and minimal food procurement kit. Yes, stopping to fish, trap, or hunt is the last thing you want to be doing during a bugout. However, if you get to your new home and it isnt home anymore, and you run out of alternate locations, you need SOMETHING to be able to help provide calories to keep going after a week or two

Most of the shiny EDC/BoB "tutorial" looks more like the dream shopping spree tacticool of the modern wannabe than anything slightly operationable. This is very operationable. Not only we have the actual tools and references...but also their purpose, advantages and cost, and why they are necessary. Making me, the viewer empower to pick something else if I happen to have a proper replacement or better solution to MY situation. Thanks very much for that level of pedagogy. Such quality can only come from actual competence !

    For food, do not underestimate the value of a bag of hard candy. It is shelf stable. Each piece is 5g of sugar to help keep you going. Some electrolyte can help cover the flavor of the iodine or other treatment tablets - this can be really helpful for getting kids to drink treated water. For the navigation kit, having some kind of optic to be able to view and recon an area can be very helpful. A pair of 4x to 8x binoculars is really helpful for getting an advanced view of things you'd prefer to go around. For the tools, some way to cut metal is really helpful in an urban setting. Often you do not need to cut a padlock, you can just cut the hasp or latch it is attached to. A hacksaw blade or a sawsall blade in a keyhole style handle can go a long way to getting you into or out of some urban places. Also, zip ties are remarkably helpful for making quick lashings. Some clothing items might be helpful for stashing in the kit - most people are not dressed for a 20-40km march at all times. Good walking shoes that lace up. Spare socks. Gloves. Hat. Scarf or schemagh. Cash. $200 will get you into or out of most places in the first world.

    Cash is a good idea for regional issues you can get away from with relative ease. For more widespread or national issues, the most valuable part of carrying cash is it's use as a fire starter. Essentially, if the situation is bad enough that people are looting/rioting (which is the type of situation you may consider bugging out of) your cash is practically useless in that area.

Etc- get same friend MD to RX or you need to slowly be saving five or so from each monthly bottle when possible. Run out of this, think Diabetics or people with high blood pressure, sugar or pressure goes through roof, then nothing on any list will be needed after that.

    May I recommend a couple of items, principally because of the possibility of an finding yourself in an Urban Environment, I would add a pair of Goggles, and at least a Respirator Mask, (Gas Mask, if you can afford it). I have been in a town when a riot broke out and the wife and I would have loved to have these items with us while we were trying to get back to our car to get out of the town. Sometimes, the police will use tear gas or pepper spray to do crowd control or in our case, the crowd used tons of bear spray on people. My wife and I saw it and used the back door of the store with others in that store to get out, but the amount of Pepper spray in the air was choking and made our eyes tear. Just a Thought.

    Well said. My family and I have goggles and n95s (which I know won't help for gas). But I decided to put Goggles after reflecting on the dust from 9/11 and several disasters and civil conflicts. Goggles are even good for walking through the brush when hiking. You have no idea how many times I've poked my eye on low branches in low lighting in my own back yard. 😂

    Those are the #1 items in my bag along with a jar of peanut butter. Sounds silly but the peanut butter has lots of protein and calories, doesn’t need refrigeration, and can easily last you those two or three days if you don’t have enough any other food.

    Thanks for this information! I got my kit set up, I got a nice Kifaru backpack for my pack. for shelter I got a SF snugpak bivy and a causality blanket,thermarest cold weather pad. Then for my fire kit it’s the standard fire steel, bic lighter, matches, a magnifying glass, and cotton balls and Vaseline. For water I got that exact same grayl geoppress and a steel water bottle, and a Msr trail filter. For my food I got some fishing items and a MRE. For navigation and signaling I got a brunton global compass with a mirror on it. My tools are a worksharp field sharpener, a Benchmade fixed adamas, Benchmade 940-1, and a silky saw. My lighting is a petzel headlamp, a surefire flashlight and a solar panel to charge my other electronics. The last things are 750 paracord, and a adventure medical kit with a cat tourniquet and some quick clot. This for the most part is my kit but there are always more stuff.

    I'd like to make a suggestion. You might consider installing a Sawyer mini just before the mouth piece on your drinking tube. This will allow you to run the tube over your shoulder and inside your clothing to protect the filter from freezing in cold weather. It also prevents the larger Sawyer from chafing on the bladder and saves a little room inside your hydration carrier or ruck witch ever you choose. Thanks for the info.

    I've always thought that one of the most important items to have in a go bag is $300 in 10s and 20s. With that you can buy things (gas, etc.) when the power goes out. It can also be useful to get people to help you if you get in a jam. For my go bag I forgo the big sheath knife for a camping hatchet which to me is a more useful tool for shelter building and as a field expedient weapon.

    Keep in mind most people think SHTF, but what if instead it is a Tornado, Hurricane, Earthquake. Money is a good idea. Its a lot lighter than carrying gold. And if money is no good Gold will get you killed. Why, simple small bills means you have little money. Gold means your rich. Spent time in the third world and saw a guy get his gold teeth extracted by bandits. They took my wallet with about 1000 pesos. Luckily they overlooked my actual money.

Trading isn’t always that easy, maybe you want something from someone else, but they need nothing from you at that moment. Cash would surely stay handy for a while. Cash could even be that scarce that it could be worth more than it is in normal situations.

    If anybody is looking to save some weight in their bag the saw on the Leatherman is very effective, that would keep you from having to carry an extra saw. I am a farmer/rancher and use it quite a bit. Been carrying the leatherman since the PST back in the 90’s. Side note, have your water container filled and ready to go. If you are bugging out for real you don’t need to waste time and put yourself at risk securing water in the first few hours

    1:56 ...Camel Back is a good water storage container...but is it easy to clean in the field ? It will get plugged up with debris / bacteria eventually 3:40...When I was Homeless, a Silcok Water Utility 4 Way Key, was a must have. 4:18...There are plenty of ThruHikers/ Prepper Complaints about the Failure of these GeoPress Grayl Water filters 1) It's one of the heaviest Filters on the Market... It weights 1.5 lbs without the water in it 2) It is Super Bulky in ones bug out bag. 3) It is limited to less than 21 ounces / 2.5 cups of water. (A smart water bottle is 34 ounces) Do you require Scissors , while you Have 2 different knives ? 4) Most people (preppers) will have difficulty with the operation of the PRESSing option of this filter ...using their body weight Many preppers complain that it will shoot water past the gasket , when pressing it........ With a Gravity water filter...it is effortless. 5) If there is Heavy particulates in your dirty water....The Pressing of the Filter , will not Work at all. Unless you strain the water first (Pre-filter). Which is more Work than necessary, especially on a bug out.. 6) When Grayl gets cloged up...how are you gonna backflush clean the filter ??? Most thru hikers, toss their Grayl filters and return to the Sawyer filters, cause they can't service their grayl filters in the field. 7) Grayl has the SHORTEST LIFESPAN of all the Filters on the market. You have to change the Filter Cartridge after only 65 Gallons... compared to the Katadyn filter at 250 gallons or the Sawyer at one hundred thousand gallons. 8) $100 USD / $150 CAD... for the Grayl GeoPress VS $40 USD each / $100 CAD for 2 Sawyer filters ***************************************************************
