If your commute is two day's walk under GOOD conditions, the difference between a BOB and GHB are your destination. :P One thing I love is a "morale patch" made of a reflective strip from the auto store stuck on velcro. Instantly removable, but passive signal so you dont get run over moving at night that lasts for decades. (Desert dweller problems)

I agree with this, although my BOB contains items (e.g. antibiotic creams in the first aid kit) that would not last if kept in a car, as a GHB due to heat.

Although i mostly agree. I will say i have several slightly different bags. Under my desk is a day /active shootert/ get out pack. In my car is a get home bag (fully planning yo have to walk (post earthquske type when i was in the west coast)... but at home i have a 3 day pack, and a full on 7 day pavk with tent, sleeping bag, etc etc. The reality is that "Home is where Hatchett is" so 80% of the time... its about getting home. I do live in the east coast so always need a plan b post hurricane if the homestead is no longer there.

As an ER RN I also recommend milk as a mitigator to pepper spray in the event you get some in your eyes. Milk contains the protein "casein" which binds to "capsaicin", a compound found in various sprays. It's the same compound that radiates heat and effects in peppers. Thanks for sharing, love the GHB rundown.

Some great stuff here on a great channel. Keep it up! As a Royal Marine I would only make one suggestion. Have one, maybe more, short hooked bungee cords. They are cheap, take up very little space, and are amazingly useful, especially if you want to use your tarp as a shelter. Cheers, from Blighty.

Good stuff man. Thx for taking the time to make the gear link list. It helps a lot. A lot of stuff is out of stock though. Lots of people getting prepared. It’s good to know that a lot more people are listening and paying attention to the world around them now a days than in the past. Keep the vids coming brother, be safe, be strong.

This bag is amazing! You have a ton of stuff in there and everything fits so well! I'm a DFW Resident as well and I'm working to build out a "Get Home Bag". I love your redundancy and you have a few things in there that many of the others don't not in their bags (Most I think tend to be camping not urban - I feel yours can be more urban usage) Loved the 2 piece filter system. It was different than many I have been seeing.

Great video brother, I ordered the 4way key, whistle and map kit to add to my bag. Semper-Fi and stay safe out there.

Great video. I was revisiting my GHB, and it was anemic. Some of your items I never heard of, so glad to find your video.

Excellent vid and reviews, have most of the same gear. Currently swap out between Rush 12 and Vertx EDC ready pack for get home bag. Have looked at the Nitro and also All Hazards Prime. Most of my bags I tape off and spray the bottom with clear or black flex seal to keep them from wicking water in wet environment if I have to set them down for awhile. Definitely recommend silcock key in urban areas, most people surprised when I tell them about. The way to tell if you have a good compass, it says Suunto! 👍

For that tourniquet, it’s generally recommended you don’t have that Time Velcro strap securing the windlass when not in use. You’d have to open that strap to use the TQ anyways, which might be difficult with one hand (especially if that hand is injured or slick as it’s a small strap with strong Velcro)

Nice table!!

Idk a multipurpose shovel sounds like a good idea Id suppose a solar panel charger to go along with your power bank

Great info, my dude. Definitely subbed up. Looking to put together something to throw in the ride for emergency situations. Imma check out more of your stuff.

This video is super informative

Good looking kit. I prefer leather gloves any time I'm expecting to create fire. Those Mechanics gloves will melt to skin, and could make a really bad situation a capital really bad situation. On that Swiss Army Knife's toothpick... it's a great flame extender if you scrape it down with the blade. You can also cut it down to about half an inch, heat up a needle, and melt the needle into the plastic, and have a needle in the knife.

Great content brother 👍🏽

Some really good ideas. My two cents on addition/changes: 1) depending on who and where you are, spare clothing and spare shoes can make a huge difference. In my case, I got in a work accident and my clothes got contaminated with a potentially cancerogenic chemical. I was so glad that I had something to change into (unlike most of my colleagues!). Now, if you're in business or fancy attire and need to get home and that involves walking through cold and rain, then a change of clothes would definitely be highly recommended. 2) Speaking of redundancies, I would recommend starting the BOB journey with the bare essentials and having those in a detachable bag. Think of a canteen bag with a knife, a fire kit, a compass, a light, and a few other items. The idea is, if you have to ditch your main bag, then you have at least the most important things still on you. 3) more for BOB than a get-home bag: cash, and a USB stick with your most important data (copies of documents, passwords, addresses, etc.) 4) I have a cheap and small collapsible lantern, which can be used either as a lantern or flashlight and has adjustable brightness, and can be recharged with its solar panel. It has proven surprisingly useful, even at home (using it as a spotlight), however, the main reason I bought it in the first place was that I can't do much when I have one hand occupied with a flashlight and even worse when it's so bright that the reflection blinds me... 5) Belonging to my EDC is a blue flame lighter. It's essentially a miniature blow torch and can ignite even moist material and is not sensitive to wind. I wouldn't rely on it, but it's sure useful.

Good info man!

Great review. 5- 11 makes great products. There packs are well thought out and well constructed. I bought a pack a year or so ago and used it as a back up bag for short hiking trips or bag for short vacations. I initially purchased this bag because it was gray and wanted to have a get home bag that blended in. I love it for many reasons however I’m not a fan of how the shoulder straps attach at the top of the pack. The four inches at the very top between the straps rubs the back of your neck if you don’t have it weighted down. I found myself looking down to keep it from rubbing me. I couldn’t use it for longer periods unfortunately. Sadly it’s a design flaw that keeps me from using it more. Other than that I love the looks and the pocket layout. But the one I have, I couldn’t recommend for a get home bag due to comfort. Just in case everyone thinks it’s me and or operator error😂. I went on a short vacation with my 15 year old son who used it to carry cloths for 5 day trip. Not hiking just getting on plane and rental car. He mention how it was uncomfortable and rubbed his neck. That’s my experience but your bag is slightly different. Wondering if anyone else has run into the same issue. Again great review of bag and products.

My get home is always with me. And it weighs about 20 pounds.

Pens, paper, fresnel lenses for fire, and other fire starters. I keep a lot of stuff on me, always.

Great things to be prepared a little expensive things can add up quick

Thank you for your Service an i like your content

Semper Fi brother.

I cause safety briefs. Love it.

Wow. You are awesome

while it may not be necessary for a urban get home bag. if you ever need to make a fire, a small foldable saw would be good. i saw that you have those wire saws but i find them to be kinda crap and only really be good as a back up for a foldable saw. having the ability to saw some biger wood without using an axe would save some energy that would be needed for traveling.

Another great video! One thing you might consider is a dedicated Dallas city map. During a get home/get out situation, having a dedicated city map so you can avoid freeway/highway congestion by using smaller roads could be very useful. I keep a state map and the local city maps for this purpose. Also, I totally agree with your endorsement of Midland radio. I have been very impressed with their capabilities.

I have a few. I need to keep them on the ready

I have just put my summer bug-out bag back together after spending over a year of treatment for Cancer. I'm working on my winter bug-out bag, at present. I have a get-home bag in the trunk and finished my car-camping pack. Most of my camping lately is car-camping, since I have yet to recover full strength after Chemo. My sleeping bag and pad are kept in the car with a tent when car-camping so I only have necessary gear in the pack to keep the weight down. One thing that I recommend to everyone is a portable radio in all bug-out and get-home bags, along with power banks and cables, for obvious reasons. Hurricane Katrina taught me that a battery powered short-wave is a good idea, also. Most of the radio stations in New Orleans were knocked out during the hurricane, so several stations pooled resources and set up a 5,000 watt short-wave temporary station to get info to the public. This info reduced spread of disease and directed people to needed services and products.

Great video my friend and neighbor. A fellow North Texan

Nice kit. I have many similar items. But a great tool to have would be a Statgeat T3 auto survival tool.

Great video. Not sure what the conditions are where you are but I’m in Western Australia and the sun is intense. The bugs can also be annoying. I also have the following items in my GHB hat might be good additions to your bag: a hat; A small sunscreen; a small bug spray; a sachet of electrolytes I can add to a bottle of water; and small travel quick dry towel in case I get wet. I know you can use the handkerchief but it doesn’t absorb as well. WA is quite spread out and I don’t work close to home so it is highly likely I might have to walk 50km or 62miles with my GHB. I carry a bottle and a bladder as hydration is going to be extremely important for me. I know you mentioned you didn’t need the bladder.

Watching this, comparing my own bag. My get home bag is also my everyday bag. I notice similarities, and differences, right off the top. My bag is similar, but not the same company. Outer is tourniquet and trauma shears in a small holster on the right side, with a full IFAK on the back by molle. My bag has the waist strap built in, though I never use it. Left side I have flashlight, lighter, batteries, and a few knick knacks. Right side is whatever I'm using through the day. Two pockets for the main part of the bag. Main I have Gorilla tape, a small book for writing, and a can of dip. Mostly use that for everyday use though. The front pouch I use for my oh sh$t utensils. Cold Steel SRK, HAM radio, knife sharpener, fully charged solar battery pack, mini Sawyer, red handkerchief, headlamp, etc. Two outer side pouches are a booboo kit, multitool on one side, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and those throwaway tooth flossers on the other. Need to add a pair of socks to my kit.

Ok,,,you FINALLY won me over with the FatMax. It's a BEAST. Get Home Bag APPROVED. 💥💥💥👍😎

excellent load out!! I would only add or change toilet paper and a high quality poncho. Also note that the small pry bar with the knife on the handle end is dangerous. I would grind the blade to a very rounded edge.

Great setup and some useful tips in there thanks. Have you thought of adding a light sleeping bag or a blanket in there? Not sure what your expected distance is if you needed to get home but I have a small folding bike in the back of my car, very easy to cycle and I'm sure it could average 5mph regardless.

Everybody should know about Battery Pack Cycling! Simply, If you leave it untouched for months it will die Permanently. You MUST Fully cycle it atleast 1 time every month, Even better would be every 2 weeks

all in all, it is a really great bag and really great setup,, get a couple of P-38 can openers, they're very multi purpose and weigh less than an once
