“Incase I’m being hunted down by assassins, or men of low character” bugout life…. Man this is one of the best well rounded bugout bags I’ve seen on KZread. It seems like everyone else thinks the same thing.

I have watched probably a thousand or more videos on B.O.B's and I.N.C.H. bags and this is by far the absolute best I have ever seen!! Great job doc!!! Well planned presentation, no wasted time or words great explanation of all the contents!! Just a well planned and organized bag and contents!!!

Thanks for this video! It gave me alot of great ideas for improving my own kit. As an Army medic I loved the 15 min lecture on antibiotics.

I notice a lot of youtube people who have firearms in their bug out bag have everything they need that's important to them to survive which is good. but know one has a fire arm cleaning kit. I luv your youtube video I learned a lot look forward to more from you!

You sir, have built the most highly thought out and useful B.o.B i have ever seen.

I think your bag is well thought out. There are some part that are a little redundant but over all I think you’re one of the few people who thought about long term survival and are well prepared if shtf. Thanks for the video. PS, I am a small town person that has more time under the stars herding cattle than most people will ever spend in their entire lives. I know what survival is.

one hell of a well rounded loadout bro. of course lots of people will talk trash on you for it as they always do but not me. if you can carry it then awesome. that is oe hell of an awesome setup. I just couldn't believe the amount of gear that thing holds. I really liked your knowledge on your medical kit as well. awesome video bro.

Wow best bug out bag on KZread! Watched the whole thing and am now making my own!

Yo bro!!

I have a few questions and suggestions: Why open carry? Why not on a vest under a jacket or a chest holster (there is a serpa version of it)? Why the knife on your weak hand side? Have you ever walked with all that stuff (holsters+ammo) in/on your pants+backpack. Same applies when wet. I recomend braces. Why not pack the stuff in lines (line system known all over the NATO as far as i know but slightly modified)? You have it in a way (a part of it with your extra pack on the backpack) but not completely. A real map. Emergency phone + numbers/frequencies. Notebook (paper). swiss army knife on your person. tourniquet accessible. You can`t say how far away from help you are. Money (split up and partly hidden). lock picks and autojiggelers. drinking tube aluminium can be dangerous for your helth Wet wipes are better than normal toilet paper when you are outside. Sea emergency rations are for sitting and waiting to be rescued. Don`t put things with much sugar in your pack either. Has to do with the way energy is absorbed and converted by your body. Since you seem to be from the medical field: What is antiseptic soap (i read about it in some survival manuals). Do you know why celox/quicklot has a expiry date? Is it because it stops to work or is it because it stops to be sterile over time / it is medical stuff?

Love the video. Great info bro! Long ass video. Took me a couple days but I got through to the end! IMO it’s the best bug out video that I’ve seen.

That bag reminds me a lot of my Kelty Falcon 4000. Very well thought out bag. Only difference is my bugout kit also includes a small steel wagon to pull behind me to carry bag plus other odds and ends (ammo, extra water, food, etc). I'll be making a video fairly soon showing everything. Nice video!

I watched the entire video! Thanks for the suggestions!

Excellent ifaq section, very insightful.

I've found a lot of conflicting information in the comments, however, most cannot even use proper grammar and therefore I'm going lean more towards this guy. He sounds knowledgeable and has reasonable facts to back up his claims. Nice video, excellent descriptions.

That's the backpack I can only dream about !!! Love it!

Yes I agree..food! take lots of food in a disaster as well as your first round of water. Very good and well thought out kit. New sub ! Cheers : )

Great video, and very well presented. My bag is setup similar to the way yours is, but I will be adding/subtracting a few things after watching this video, thanks.

Best info vid I seen yet, thanks bro.

Thinking that you're probably beyond busy at this point, when we get past this Covid nightmare hopefully we get to see your updated gear.

@Meatwaggon

You'll get to see my updated gear before this covid nightmare is over, actually. I've almost finished revamping my gear again (for the third time), and it has expanded into several different kits: a long-duration (~3 months) "INCH" bag, 2 medium-duration (~3 weeks) BOB/GHB for his and hers, a short-duration (~3 days) GHB, and an urban medium-duration BOB/GHB. Most of the elements are finished, it's just that I keep updating them with the latest gear that comes along. I'll start making a series of videos some time in the Spring.

I found your video to be informitive and I'm adjusting my bag a bit after having watched it. Thank you.

Outstanding information and well presented. Living in CA I found much of your reasoning for your selections to have great validity. Nice Job!

The only 2 things I would add to that would be green tea bags, just because they are almost weightless and taste great (adding a bit of flavor could do a world of difference for your mental state), and also a knife with a slightly longer blade to make batoning a bit easier for splitting wood. Other than that this is the best video i have seen on the subject and extremely in depth on the reasoning why you ad things you did. Thanks

They sell them on EBay. If you are looking for First Strike Rations (FSR), there are merchants that sometimes sell those too. There are also a bunch of fake civilian "MRE's" out there, which to be honest are not necessarily bad, but if you want the military surplus stuff you need to make sure the description actually says it's military-issue.

Thank you for making this video, it was super helpful and also helped me out on putting things in my BOB that I didn't think about putting in there. Thank you! Greatly appreciated!

I enjoyed the video. One thing. My son is a real survivalist, in my opinion. He is only 18 and has spent summers, wnters and all in between in the mountains in Maine near where my parents live and goes out with 1/2 the crap we all see as "making life easier" but, these things become dependancies. Learning how to do without is what is going to save your life when you are trying to "EEK" out an existance. I thought i was being a good dad and brought him 5 or 6 MH mre's and they laughed at me.

About an hour in, want to say great vid and thanks. Very comprehensive and intelligently done.

Peanut butter is one of the most ultimate survival foods. High in fats and proteins, requires no cooking, doesn't spoil. When I worked in the woods we would always get a jar of peanut butter at the beginning of every 8 day shift with our food rations... It became my best friend :)

In a Marine pack, we take the air out of everything. Put as much as you can into zip lock bags to waterproof as well as create more space. I would try to eliminate the battery powered flashlights. Get a solar light or hand powered light. If you know how to use a lensatic compass as well as land navigation skills,you do not need a gps.

love that Survivalist firearm. Got one YEARS ago, an never has let me down, good choice.

Great ideas for adding to a BOB in addition to a rundown on the antibiotics for the layman. I bet you got a great rebate at REI when you put your bag together. Your thoughts on the stapler versus the CAT tourniquet are extremely valid and the reason I went with a stapler instead as well. Think about a large syringe etc for cleaning out the wound copiously before you close it, you'll definitely need the anaerobic coverage on the antibiotics if you don't... All in all, top quality equipment and lots of excellent thought going into your bag.

Don't forget the chamomile bath oils and candles !

They laughed because it was like bringing a Ferrari to a Jeep trail. Im a weekend camper, survivalist. These kids are really doing it for months on end and like they said to me after the laughing ended. I shouldve kept the $45 i spent on the MRE's and bought a bag of rice, black beans and coffee. They also wanted some salt. Being a dad you know i went and got all that shit too and had to smile myself as these 2 boys acted like its xmas morning..

Wonderful video! Thank you very much: it was very informative & useful; I appreciate the attention to detail.

FYI for mess kits. Aluminum is toxic and should not be used in cookware. Use stainless or titanium.

@Meatwaggon

Uhh, what??? You clearly don't cook a lot, man. LOL Aluminum as used in cookware is most definitely NOT toxic, and it is ubiquitous in cookware; in fact aluminum cookware is several times more common than stainless steel cookware and orders of magnitude more common than titanium cookware. The world of cooking literally runs on aluminum products. It would certainly not be the case if aluminum were somehow toxic (as it is most commonly used in cooking). Water is toxic in sufficient quantities, as is aluminum, but aluminum cookware is about as non-toxic as cookware gets. Please disabuse yourself of the mistaken notion that aluminum cookware is somehow toxic, because it simply is not.

Also the game I was referring to were specifically running rabbits and squirrels...tough to hit with a .22. I'm also combat control, highly proficient with all firearms, and have been hunting for 21 years. Have you considered an "instant fisherman" in conjunction with a gill net? Look up Victor rat traps too. In SERE training I caught an Opossum, and a squirrel using rat traps tied to a tree with food baiting. It was an absolute minimum sized piece of food as well.Checkout a Savage Arms model 42

awesome bag i like your style just subbed thanks for the video

Meatwaggon, you have an excellent kit here. I, along with many others,believe in buying the best gear you can afford. That Arc'teryx pack is beautiful, but I went with the USMC ILBE version of the bag. I saved a bit but its a bit heavier than the Bora. I have a lot of the same gear, except for the antibiotics, but I believe the need for antibiotics will be a lot greater if one was forced to bug out. You are lucky to be able to get access and have the knowledge. Your kit is great, but I only have a few comments and/or suggestions. I didn't notice if you had a large enough tarp to provide shelter for you? If not I would recommend one, or anoyjer tool for processing wood to help in assisting you make a shelter like an axe/hatchet, or a take down bow say. The Laplanders are great, but a bow say makes quick work out of larger pieces of wood to aid in a sturdy shelter. Anyway, thanks for sharing. You've covered all your kit so well, I don't have anything to say but Thanks for sharing. Be Well!!

This is an awesome video bud

Great Video

I would ditch the gerber folding entrenching tool because the blade is a half inch off of the handle making digging harder. I've got the Cold Steel Spetsnaz shovel and even though it can't fold it works as an ax, machete and shovel. After I sharpened mine it cuts through dirt, nud or clay like butter.

+Meatwaggon Way to go, dude! You seem to be a very intelligent young man ( I'm guessing young, since you sound young and I didn't see your face. I'm guessing 25-28. You sound well educated, smart, mature, and I can tell you put a lot of thought into the bag and video ). As far as I'm concerned, I have yet to see a ruck touted as a 72 hour ruck that would actually pack enough stuff to cover all your bases for that long, especially in a societal collapse, so I use big surplus, military rucks ( if they carry a ton of stuff, they'll carry a bit of stuff, and everything in between ). Right now, I'm using a U.S. G.I. MOLLE 2 large combat ruck, since I just got it a few months ago, so I figured I'd give my old faithful ILBE with it's assault pack a rest, loaded this up, attached some MOLLE pouches to it ( I especially like the big sustainment pouches that come with it and mount 1 to each side. Even bought another 2 pack for the ILBE. 500 cubic inches each, so that makes the MOLLE 2 a 5000 cubic inch ruck. 1 will hold my German surplus Gore-Tex parka and pants [rain gear], surplus poncho, and ruck cover with room to spare ), added a 200 round SAW gunner pouch directly under those ( they hold a lot of gear, and I have one with 6 extra 30 round AKM 30 round mags ), a pair of canteen and general purpose utility pouches, and a pair of Tasmanian Tiger TT-7 pouches with a TT-6 MOLLEd onto the fronts, and an Eagle Industries hydration bladder carrier with a Camel Back Crux 3 liter bladder, plus some 1 liter metal bottles that I can boil water in, cook in, way more versatile than canteens. I like your setup and I do a lot the same and, as with anyone, some things differently. Since I moved to a really isolated place way up in the Great Smokies in NC about 6 or 7 years ago ( originally from South-Eastern VA ), my load is quite a bit more combat oriented since, if it gets so bad that I have to bug out from a place in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by woods, it's probably societal collapse or something. Plus, I'm a gun freak with a lot of guns, mags, ammo, tac gear, etc........ , and my weapon choices are quite a bit different. In addition to my ruck, I have one of my military pistol belts set up for my main pistol, a Glock 21, full size 13+1 .45ACP in a Phenix Gear Tornado thigh holster with attached additional mag pouch, several double mag pouches for the Glock 21, all loaded with 230 grain Federal Hydra Shok JHP ammo, a U.S.M.C. KA-BAR, a mag dump pouch, AK bayonet, and Kershaw Camp 10 ( 10" bladed short machete type weapon and tool. Good for combat, processing wood, clearing dense brush [which comes in handy when you're surrounded by woods] ). For my rifle, I have a pair of AKMs ( 7.62x39mm. A Chinese MAK-90 and Romanian Romak. Both are good and have been running very good since I bought them in the early 90s ), so I'd grab one of those, my Russian ANA Vest Alpha chest rig, which is designed and built around the AK. It has 4 built in double mag pouches on the front, a field of MOLLE in front of those ( to which I've attached a double compartment mag pouch that carries 6 30 rounders for the AK, plus a magazine coupler that clips another 30 round onto the one in the rifle. That's a lot of ammo [I use mostly Red Army Standard], with the extra 6 in one of those 200 round SAW gunner pouches on my ruck, that's 22 30 round mags of AK/7.62x39mm ( but with the 14 on my chest rig, and 2 in and on the rifle, plus I use the lid pocket, which is the entire lid of a big, 5000 cubic in ruck to store Mylar bags I mage and label with a kitchen/food vacuum sealer with enough rounds to reload 10 AK mags [300 rounds of additional AK] and to reload 6 13 round Glock 21 .45ACP mags, which is 78 rounds of additional .45], that limits a good amount of what kit/survival I'd like to bring, so I save weight by using my favorite AK mags, 30 round Bulgarian steel lined polymer with metal locking lugs, so it's significantly lighter than all steel mags ) and a pair of large utility pouches ( 1on each side, with several rows of 5 MOLLE loops each row on the fronts ). In the right side pouch, I have a large meds pouch that, in addition to my RXd meds for chronic pain and panic disorder [Roxicodone, 15mg tablets and Xanax, 2mg tablets] I have a supply of meds that would get me arrested, but you do what you have to do. I have an MFAK set up as a full trauma kit MOLLEd onto the front of that utility pouch. The other utility pouch holds some various gear that I want to have right there when I need it, like a Gerber multi tool, a small, bright LED flashlight, a Princeton Tech Byte LED head lamp, a couple of my many bandanas, pair of Mechanix gloves, a compass, some chem lights, a pair of safety glasses ( if you have to haul ass into the woods at night, a stick in the eye can mean your ass ). Basically, that pouch is like a junk drawer with a canteen pouch MOLLEd onto the front. I got some good ideas from your video, as well as noticing some similarities, such as : I also pack one of those hand chainsaws, I also pack stuff in compression sacks, as well as Crown Royal bags, dry bags, MOLLE pouches, and kit bags, since the larger military rucks generally have little in the way of organization, I thought I was the only prepper that remembers to pack a scrubby pad for my mess kit ( a U.S military kind, since it packs light and flat ). The large field radio pouch, which attaches to the back inside "wall" of the ruck with a set of D rings holds most of the food I pack : some field stripped MREs ( not nearly as good and less food than the ones in the 90s ), a few bags of Mountain house entrees, Cliff Bars, some apple cinnamon flavored "survival food bars", 2400 calories each in 6 400 calorie portions, and some pouches of Spam, tuna fish, and chicken, stuff like that. I also came up with a recipe for a survival food that's good and covers all of your food groups. Into a large, resealable, heavy aluminum bag ( like those big bags of peppermint bark you get around Christmas, and each bag will carry several pounds of it ) you put a couple or more 1 lb jars of peanut butter ( I like Skippy Roasted Honey Nut ), some honey, granola, mixed roasted nuts, mixed dried fruit, instant hot cocoa powder, instant powdered milk, instant oatmeal packs of all kinds of flavors, and whatever else you fancy. Nutritious, calorie dense, tastes good, filling, covers all of your food groups, and in the winter, if it freezes, you can dig at it with your bayonet/combat knife/whatever, and break you off a couple mouthfuls and you can keep on the move if you're on foot and you need to cover ground. If you Ranger fold your extra clothing, it takes up much less space in your ruck. You can probably find videos of how to do it on the internet. I pack 2 extra sets of camo BDUs and ACUs, plus the military recommended 3 extra sets of sofies ( your socks, boxers, and T shirts ), plus, you're going to be dressed for the weather and it can really save you space in your ruck, especially if you have to pack extra cold weather gear, long underwear, and so on ( I then put my additional, Ranger folded clothing into dry bags or large, heavy duty Ziploc freezer bags ). Those 5 gallon Swiss military solar showers ( if it's warm weather, you just hang them on a branch in the sun and, in an hour or two, you have 5 gallons of bath water temperature shower, it has a nozzle for your shower, rolls up, weighs next to nothing, and takes little space in your ruck. I also carry one of those Pocket Pal knife sharpeners and a round sharpening stone that has a side to set the edge and another to hone it razor sharp, as well as some honing oil. It keeps your knives, camp hatchet, etc... razor sharp.I also carry a large, well stocked hygiene kit and a "shit kit" which packs dry toilet paper, as well as baby wipes ( to keep you from getting "monkey butt" in the field ), several packs of those Ready Bath towels like they give you in the hospital, and have you seen those TP tablets? I thought they were a joke until a friend of mine back in VA gave me a couple tubes of them ( water proof plastic with a gasket and 12 tablets per bottle that look like big, thick Alka Seltzer tablets. If you get them a bit damp and carefully spread them open, you have a nice, soft yet durable sheet that's damp and about the size of a paper towel. You also gave me some ideas, like the monocular ( I currently carry a small pair of HUMVEE 10x25 power binoculars, and now I'm thinking about the monocular. How much magnification does it give you?). I have always used those folding Esbit stoves for cooking, boiling water, etc..., and thought those little gas cylinder stoves were unnecessary junk, but seeing yours has me wanting to try one. I like your idea about bringing olive oil to cook with is a good idea. Those Velcro ties would have a million uses, the bottle of "not a bag"looks useful, plus some more stuff. All in all man, that was a great video, held my interest and inspired me to write this novel, sorry about the long post man ;) .

The Orion monocular is 10x42. IMO it was too big and bulky and I have since switched to a smaller Roxant Viper which is 10x25 (it's more like an 8-9x in reality), water resistant, rubberized/impact resistant, 3 oz weight. It is a step down in quality but TBH magnification is not a huge a priority for me; in this particular department I prefer low weight and compactness above quality. However, if I could find something as compact as the Viper but higher quality I would definitely go for it; still looking for that. As for the TP tablets, I have since started using those instead of the rolls since about a couple years ago because they are very compact and give more paper for the volume. My one concern about your weapons loadout is ammunition. The .45ACP and 7.62x39 are both larger rounds compared to the 9mm and 5.56x45; you could carry significantly more of the latter than the former. IMO I am even debating between .22LR and 5.56 given the larger ammunition capacity. My current plan though is to have my wife carry a Glock19 and AR-7 or Ruger 10-22 takedown, and myself a Glock 19 and my Colt 6920. That is, in case of SHTF and we absolutely have to leave our home for whatever reason for the long term. I of course prefer to bug in under almost any circumstance. I'm 46 years young BTW ;-)

You made a good point about not using a tourniquet when no medical attention available. However if you are engaged in combat you could use tourniquet to stay in the fight longer.

I get the P100 mask. The one thing you said about not needing a gas mask is because it would be a unlikely situation. Bugging out is the unlikely situation but that's what we prepare for. Nuclear attack and chemical spill or attack are among the top reasons other than a grid down or government take over. I'd say that % of unlikely situations just raised for needing a gas mask.

Awesome!!!! Subbed!

Great video. Since cost isn't an issue, you might consider a 35-45' sailboat with solar panels and fresh water maker. In addition to stockpiling, you can fish/crab/dive for food. Make sure you can get there, by purchasing an enduro motorcycle. I was in Floyd, and Katrina was no different. The roads will be bad. When you get to the boat, you may be able to transport it on the boat. Or just forget all that, and come on my boat. I'll even bring my microscope, IV sets, and saline. Have a good one.

Nice video.....well thought out and you should be proud of well researched facts, nice selection of gear......I give it a 9.5 out of 10. Excellent job sir! I am troubled by the lack of misinformation and preconcieved notions......... You have a level head on your shoulders and good set of morals ....would be proud to be a compadre in your group.....!

Solid Video , i have a katadyn pocket as well. Best water filter for sure. Just a note about the food rations , I would suggest mainstay or datrex , same calories , more vitamins and minerals and they taste better.

Very good video

great bag

If you are heading into an area that has woodlands I personally think the .22 is the most important thing in your bag. You can make a debris shelter, break some rocks until you find a sharp edge for a poor mans knife and survive. For self defense & hunting food the .22 would be my first choice ahead of everything else. Great setup though and I understand those who would put the knife first.

great bag some things to think about are getting survival liter bags for storage, storing it in your water filter bag will let bacteria grow on filter,also u can turn your yoyo fish traps to snares for multipurpose item,and look into a more reliable main knife such ka bar,and esee.

So far, this is the only other first aid kit I've seen that has a skin stapler, besides my own. Having had and self removed about a hundred staples on myself (skin graft and a scalp laceration) I think those things are awesome... especially since I don't know how to sew a proper suture.... just make sure you have the removal tool too! They'd also be great for dogs or horses in an emergency.

I have that same back pack.it's amazing

Good video. I missed it but what size is that ArcTeryx. Looks like 95?

pretty good vid..... better than most

So so nice bro thanks so much for your help

Good video thanks

I completely agree, but in a bad scenario any large bag would be worth attempting to pilfer. Gray man or tommy tactical big bag = big trouble. I have 4k in camera equiptment i keep it in an old diaper bag, i've never had a window shattered to get at my old bag.

Cool video

Really great kit. I wish you were in my "bug out" group.....

Awesome

Wow there went alot of consideration into this backpack. If I ever feel might need something like this in the future I will watch this video again and get a very similar one (extremely unlikely but still- nice work!)

The only thing missing in that bug out bag is an inflatable boat :) Thanks for the vid, lots of good stuff in there. was very well worth watching it!

Haha right on man! The 30-06 doesn't play, that's for sure. Gardening is definitely a must for long term survival though. I've started to stockpile organic seeds

I recommend you also buy some deuce gear or something similar , Is basically harness/blouse with a lot of spots for carabineers and clip ons, also, one of your best preps will be a pair of well made boots that you can march around and even double time in comfortably

Over 3K all said and done. Considering the weapons, that would be about $500 for the Glock and $400 for the AR-7 on top of that. I now have a Ruger 10/22 Takedown and have replaced the AR-7 with this much better 22LR rifle.

Not a true run, but I took it camping last month in Big Sur and lived off just what was in the bag for the weekend without any problems. The people I was with thought I was a little extreme with my experimentation, as I declined to eat the cooked food and insisted on starting all the camp fires with my tools. My back and shoulders were sore from the bag being heavy, but I did manage to keep it on my back for several hours at a time on two days, while the others all went to the beach. :P

You need to make some more videos!

Thank you so much for his video, my BoK was stolen so i am making a new one and the ideas from yours have helped me alot.. especially since i need to mke mine "canada approved" and its not alot diff from cali... with the exception of handguns... and a few other things. anyway thanks!

Fantastic setup - love the layering... whats the longest you've tested it for?

Hey doc, I am curious to when you will be uploading a new updated version of your BOB? I am really interested if you have made any modifications, etc. I'm sure I speak for many. It would be great as you have inspired a lot of people to take action and prepare for the unknown. Please let us know. Thanks buddy.

Shane G I have actually already finished an updated version of this BOB which is almost 10 lbs lighter. I have made another smaller BOB which is a shorter duration get home bag that weighs in at 24 lbs. I have also bought and enhanced a mini survival kit. All 3 kits are ready for video, but unfortunately I just bought a new house 2 weeks ago and I'm remodeling and moving at the same time, so it will be a couple months before anything happens.

I own the Arc'teryx Bora 80 (I believe you had the 95?) and I am trying to find a new use for it.....awesome bag--maybe more of an INCH bag instead. Nevertheless, good luck/congrats with your new home. I hope you will find time to get the videos up as soon as possible.

Meatwaggon brother, about the tourniquet - don't you think it could be helpful to be able to close a wound and save a life by stopping the bleeding first so you can actually work? That is what a tourniquet is meant for IMHO and I am glad it is part of my EDC, BOB and INCH bags...

@Meatwaggon

9 жыл бұрын

Mel Ville Well what do you mean by "work"? Who's working? A wound which requires a tourniquet in order to stabilize a person will also require a functioning hospital that is easily accessible from your location. If civilization crashes (or even if you are bugged out deep in the woods), there is no hospital. There is no OR. There is no hospital staff and surgeons waiting to receive, prep and operate on you. This is an INCH bag video; an INCH bag put into use means that something terrible, widespread and catastrophic just happened to where you live or you are already far away from civilization and no working hospital is going to be around and staffed to take you to surgery. Remember that a tourniquet is a temporary solution to a severe traumatic injury and requires an emergent permanent surgical fix in an OR. If there is no permanent solution forthcoming, what is the point of the temporary solution? So that you can live a few more hours (or best case scenario, a few more days) in agonizing pain and then still die? That is why my INCH bag does not include a tourniquet (but my get home bag does, as does my car). Instead, my INCH bag has a staple gun. This will fix the smaller wounds that do not absolutely require surgical fixes. If I have to leave with my INCH bag and I later sustain a massive bleeding injury that only a tourniquet will stop, I will have the good grace to recognize my fate on the spot and bleed out and die like a man.

ar-7 nice choise great survival weapon and doesnt take up space good vid :)

I agree dude. The inflatable sleeping pillow and other high cost gimmick items like that...matter not....I would pack 5 soft fleece blankets in tight rolls...multi purpose with a tarp and sleeping bag...MAYBE a myler. The rest is water purity, storage, and gathering. Then Clothing and hunting supplies, along with navigational stuff. Rat traps with cord are a highly effective method of getting food too.

Good advice, everyone should carry their bag on a regular basis to be sure about it. I have carried up to 64 pound in mine for several miles comfortably.

Wow, that is a dream kit. Maybe you can post in the comments a "laundry list" of all the items in your BOB.

in regards to flimsy hollow handled knives, the cold steel bushman is one piece of metal, bent into a cylinder at the handle area. It is easily the best hollow handled knife

You can obviously afford to do things right, so I'll suggest a project I'm starting soon - a Dyneema belt. Same idea as a paracord belt but with Dyneema, which is far stronger. You can get it in smaller diameter (like 2 mm) than paracord, which will give you almost 200' of cord by my estimate in a more comfortable, thinner weave. And different companies make knives, handcuff keys, fire flints, flashlights, etc. which can be hidden in the belt or the buckle.

just one comment on a very well done bag. .... suggest sub-sonic ammo for your 22LR. it's very quiet, even for a 22as a request, could you do a side-by-side of your EDC, 72 hour, and your extended bag?

This is coming up shortly actually. I have all three already done (they've been done for 4-5 months TBH), just waiting for me to video them.

Doc, why don't you have a small container of probiotics (Florastor) to take for after the antibiotics? Thanks so much for the video and all the information.

+Ninja 87 There is no definite evidence that probiotics work as intended. I personally think they do and I have taken them before when I have been on antibiotics, but I will not recommend anything to anyone that doesn't have solid published research behind it.

how much longer will antibiotics last if you Vacuem Seal small amounts if pills ?

Where did you get the waterproof bag that is shown at (31:14)

how much did it cost you to fill the entire bag? very interested since it seems like you ve included just about everything.

How would you compare it to the Arc'Teryx NAOS, price aside?

@Meatwaggon - do you happen to know where to get the MRE's (military)? Do they sell them on base? If so, I can have my cousin get me some, I know he gave my grandma some I think after his trainings he has once every couple months....

I think I got this over the internet, like EBay or Amazon or some other site. It was very highly rated so I chose that one. After testing it out a couple times I have to agree with all the reviews.

your right about the knives breaking.

I was wonder you said about 2 fixed blades what about folding blades or pocket knifes?

After having seen hundreds of BOB videos, I'm pretty confident in saying this is this is one of the top 3 best bags. If not number 1. It's definitely a compilation of the highest grade (read: dollar) gear. You've clearly spared NO expense in the making of this. I hope you've devoted a massive chunk of your life into hand to hand and CQB knife/ gun fighting otherwise there's going to be one lucky Hollywood cholo that bugged out to whichever CA hills you're in and robs you. I'm bookmarking your video under my "best BOBs" playlist so when I have an extra 8 grand to spare I can totally replicate this set up. In the meantime I'll continue upgrading individual components of my rush 72 bit by bit. I know this comment is somewhat snarky and sarcastic. Because while you present great logic and reason for what could possibly be THE BEST bag out there, the sheer repetition of " best on the market" comes across somewhat obnoxious. I'm sure you don't mean to sound that way, it's just a bi product of being so thoroughly versed in the most expensive gear available. Absolutely crazy. Congrats on the awesome build and thanks for sharing!

This bag is the bomb, fully loaded. Only im sure it would be very hard to duck,crawl,roll,run, present a small target and of course engage other combatants with all this on. Can you even shoot prone with this on? Crazy set up tho, huge effort.

where do you find those ammo wallets?

3 and a half days. I tested most of the items in the bag; everything worked as expected.

The Henry AR-7 pales in comparison to the Ruger 10/22 Takedown which I also now have. They are both compact, but the Ruger is built far better, though somewhat heavier and bulkier. If I redid this video I would choose to take the Ruger with me instead of the Henry.

This pack is huge. Just imagine two large ALICE packs stacked end to end.....

Hey! I like Anne of Green Gables! Actually, I don't, but being from the maritimes I'm contractually obligated to say so. Seriously, great video! I found your medical breakdown to be very detailed and eye-opening. Thanks! Also, being from Canada I feel your pain regarding CA firearms restrictions.

cool video

hi, one thing how much does the bag weight???

Where did you get the case for the survival rifle?
