Always fun to see your videos, Get a Millbank bag (it will help filter out the larger particles in the water, then boil the crap out of your water, it will last longer than filters or tablets etc) then get a power generator of some kind, Solar, Crank, or my favourite "Thermoelectric"" Biolite, (camp stove 2, just add stuff that burns, boom! electric, its like mAgiC!!1!! without the special effects,) your battery is only going to last so long, so choose a renewable source, btw keep your battery closer to your body, the cold will kill your battery,

Excellent comment thanks Wayne!

Respect to you sir, on the 27th November I was homeless and sleeping rough in the woods. A goretex bivy bag and sleeping bag are essential. Wrapping your sleeping bag in a plastic orange survival bag creates condensation, too many days of that and your sleeping bag is soaked. You need water supplies on you to give you time to find water. Clear plastic sheeting and thermal blankets to make a Mors super shelter. I am not talking a few days of bushcraft/survival practice that is uncomfortable but actually real world where you don't know how long you will be roughing it. Love and respect to you and your family ♥️🇬🇧♥️🇺🇸♥️🙏 Johnny from England

Tactical bag no Fs given! Subscribed.

First of all, kudos on the tactical bag. Grey-man is for suckers 😉 Second, the Silky cuts better than the Bahco anyway. 😮 Third, these new packs are nice, but there’s nothing wrong with the A.L.I.C.E. pack. I toted my 782 gear for ten years after I was discharged. Until some disloyal pog broke into my house and stole it all. Your setup is not bad at all. I would add more fire and water redundancy, because a 72 hour emergency may take longer than three days to sort out. And I always carry a dental kit. Absolutely nothing worse than a toothache to turn 72 hours into three days of hell.

I will gladly write off the investment I’ve made in my families bags if it means we never have to use them in life threatening survival event. I see my bag as no more than insurance. I train with it and acquire the skills (very thankful to you and many other great KZreadrs for your awesome advice and content) but I hope never to have to use the knowledge I’ve acquired.

I'll second everything said above. Great kit, a bit different from what I have set up (main difference is I prefer all my headlamps and flashlights to use the same battery and carry 2x spare for all even on a short trip) I am also definitely the guy all my friends call to light a BBQ and have started using a different method each time just for fun and also to teach them a few tricks

As far as the binoculars go, I use a 60 power monocular that I got for about $15.00 at Amazon. It's surprisingly decent quality. I can read a Stop Sign at night close to a quarter of a mile away. Great video, thanks.

Binoculars try the Pentax SD 8x42 WP they have 30yr warranty and fully waterproof. I use a snugpak jungle blanket, they're good for keeping the wind off you in a tarp/basha set up, but if the climate is going to head towards 0/below 0 centigrade (unsure of your climate all year around) then place a good quality wool/lightweight cashmere blanket under it and you'll be fine unless it's heading towards real Arctic temperatures. I use a snugpak Special Forces 2 sleeping bag on my large pack for extended periods as it covers the temp ranges we have in the UK, but still take the Jungle blanket as it's good for wrapping around you if you stop for a break for tea/food or in the evening before bed to relax keeping the wind and colder air off you. I've also used the blanket in an sol escape bivvy, not my best night out in frosty weather but you'll survive.

You mentioned making a shower out of the bladder. Just get a Sea to Summit shower. 4oz of weight, and it is great. I'm in FL also. I use it as a shower, dish cleaning, brushing teeth, and heat regulation at a base camp. Easy to cool off under. I put filtered water in it. Some people spend a lot of $ to keep warm, in FL...keeping cool is important!

Only 4oz? That ain't made and its multi purpose. Sounds like a good deal! What area of Florida are you in?

Anything vortex. Great warranty and excellent products

For the Camelbak shower I just used to blow into it real hard to pressurize the bladder and then hang it or lay it on something above my head and then just squeezed the bite valve with my fingers to get a spray of water to come out if needed pressurize again or fill with more water as needed. Heat water from a canteen cup and mix in to get a nice temperature you like. The Geigerrig Pressurized Hydration Engine and Reservoir can be found on Amazon and uses a squeeze bulb like on a blood pressure cuff to pressurize the bladder and is compatible with the Aquamira Frontier Max filter.

Very good video. Enjoying your channel. The more you train with your kit the more you will learn what you will actually USE. The more you train and develop your skills the less equipment you will find your self falling back on. I base my kit on the 5 C's. Cover Cutting Combustion Cordage Container I keep maps and a compass with sharpie marker and carpenter pencil. I keep 2 MRE's and 5 or 6 protein bars for food. And I keep a sling shot with 3 spare bands and a small bag of 1 ounce shot. (Also,lots of rocks out there for ammo) for longer term survival. I keep wire and fishing line for snares and trip wires. I keep 2 yoyo fishing reels, 2 large rat spring traps with nails to secure them, and an assortment of survival cards. I just try to keep my kit a light as I can. I don't like big tools like axes and big knives. They make too much noise. Using a saw is much quieter. And a 4 inch knife is all you should need. I use a 21 inch bow saw blade and make my own bow saw in the field from a branch. And I really like the Esee 4. I strip the coating and keep it oiled up with olive oil. Unlike AAA head lamps and flashlights too.

Don't just add a sleeping bag in the winter. Have a blanket in your vehicle year round. You'd be suprized how cold and wet some summer nights can get. Living in Minnesota i have a wool blanket in my trunk. Reason being is that wool will keep you warm even if damp. If i ever crash my car into a snowy ditch at night without a way to get help and i need to keep warm in my car over night. I have it.

@@TheSurvivalOutpost The ESEE-5 is the one that comes with a bow drill divot in the handle. The knife alone weighs 16 oz and is described as "a prybar with a sharp edge".

I have actually moved away from rucks with zippers on them myself but it is more personal preference than a percieved issue with the designs.

@@TheSurvivalOutpost its actually a little Mil-tec pack that has a frame that folds out into a chair. The straps sucked so my wife sewed on a couple of d rings and it wears surplus Alice straps.

I find no issues with the 30 liter ruck for three seasons at all, but it is also geared more for bush camping than bugging out or getting home as I am in a very rural AO.

How much weight can you lift at the gym? Take a quarter off that at least. Then thats how much you can carry in uneven weight. However a good pack will let you carry 150 pounds as if it were 65 and make it easy.. A good tact pack or hiking pack with good suspension or a reinforced aluminum frame will make you able to carry more without hurting yourself. As an eagle scout having to carry your entire camp on your back i can contest to this. My 80 plus pound bob i can hike 60 mile through the hardest environment. With little problem. Though i seemed to have invested my points into endurance rather then strentgh at character creation. Im a whole 160 pounds soaking wet. But i can carry my weight in gear.. Now i couldnt carry my fallen buddie and his gear but i can hike my ass across the usa with my ass and gear no probs. Oh sorry what i mean is get a good pack.. Then worry about gear. Oh on that note i run A med kit. Im over zealous on med kit supplies so that takes a good deal of my real esate but meh. A cooking kit. Oil can a fold out gril ( its just a wire grill that sits over the fire or oil can) A folding cookware set. Its a pot pan bowl cup folk spoon and such. A tool kit. Folding spade Small prybar Small hammer A flat and Phillips screwdriver. A utility knife a buck knife a combat knife and. Grind stone. Weapons Primary DMR assault rifle. Secondary 10 gauge shotty. Its a short barrled 4 round stockless that just hangs over my shoulder. And my side arm sits in my leg holster. Accompanied by a knife in my boot two on my hip. One in my vest. And a mag light that doubles as a club. Oh and i have a stun light as well. Ive got A decent bow as well. Misc Air filters for gas mask water filters and purifiers. Soap for my dishes clothing and self. And bundle of rope. Binoculars My clothing is season matched. But typically 3 days of cloths 6 pairs undergarments and as many socks as i can stuff minimum of 3 per day. Food water Mres, dried rations 5 gallons of water. Much more and it encumbers me to much. I carry enough food to last myself and 1 more least 14 days with normal rationing. 2 main meals and enough "snacks" to last through the day depending on activity level. Though a week of food per person should be minimum a month is easy to do with mres and such. Dont pack cans. Pack mre pouches. And dried rations ( ones you can eat dry are good ) such as dried fruits and such. Jerky and nuts are good. And i think that bout does it. I go light on clothing because i can wash and dry my gear quickly. My cloths dry in an hour in a warm air let alone on a line or by a fire. Its also light weight and surprisingly warm. Though trotting throw snow and cold climates id switch clothing. My food will last me a month easy. I can find water almost anywhere. So i pack tools weapons and medical gear.. My 1 man tent straps to the buttom of my pack my sleeping bag sitts on top ( its heavier then the tent lol ) Sorry if this unintrests you.. But no harm in sharing right?

I personally think the 72 hour bag is a waste. Especially because most people will have the bag at home or in your car. The biggest issue when SHTF will most likely be getting home. So if you don't drive or can't get to your car, you're screwed. Or if you do drive but then get in grid lock because everyone is panicking, you're screwed. I suggest a 24 hour bag that could be stretched into a 48 hour bag at the most if needed to get back home. I have one that fits everything I'm about to list in a school bag that still has more room for whatever else you need on a daily basis. My 24 to 48 hour bag consists of: Tactical knife Swiss army mutlitool Pliers multitool USB battery 900 lumens flashlight Solar/hand crank radio power bank 3x mylar emergency blankets Emergency bivy Large thin towel blanket 3x small washcloths Sawyer water filtration system 3 folding Sawyer water pouches Water purification tablets 750 ml full water bottle. Emergency pancho/tarp 50 feet of 550 paracord 50 zip ties 6 metal tent pegs 2 pairs of socks and underwear Folding brimmed hat with bug net Mini umbrella 2 bic lighters 20 fire sticks 10 Waxed tinder strips 4x hand/feet warmers Small medical bag with added gear Floss and mouth wash Small sunscreen Chafing stick Small hand sanitizer N95 mask Dog spray Small baby wipes package 2x garbage bags Small binoculars 2x Compasses Map of area 2x whistles Mirror 1500 calories food (cliff bars and vegetable/fruit bars) Caffeine tablets Extra key for home (hidden) 100 bucks cash (hidden) That's my pack I've been carrying now for awhile in a regular back pack and everything is in zipped sandwich bags so it's all water proof. No one knows what's in my bag and I keep it that way. I also have a bug out or "camping bag" that is ready for me to leave indefinitely if I had too with a 4 season 1 person tent and some other things that makes it to much weight to carry around every day. But my plan is to stay close to my home in the event we need to leave for a while. Luckily I can disappear into the wilderness almost instantly in most directions from my home. In most emergency situations you'll be at your home riding out the problem. It's only a very rare situation, almost never, that you'll have to leave your home to live in the woods forever. So I suggest buying bottled water or storing water anyway that keeps it safe and also having a 3 month emergency food supply. I bought off of Amazon 3 packages that have a month's supply of food (2k calories per day) 25 year shelf life for just under 300 Canadian each package delivered. I also have a months supply of bottled water which costed about 25 bucks Canadian. Small prices to pay for surviving an emergency. I hope you all stay safe. The world is crazy right now. Best of luck 🍻

Thanks for sharing out your list. I agree that escaping to the forest is an edge case, but these days might not be so crazy to consider if raging mobs invade your neighborhood. One minor tweak to your loadout could be the food selection. To give you context, I forced marched nearly 15 miles in 5hrs and 30 minutes on Sunday. I burned 1400 calories in less than 6 hours on flat mostly paved urban terrain. If you have to hoof it back home, you will absolutely need carbs and lots of them, then a bit of fat and protein as well. I carry Nestle Fortified dry milk, granola, brazil nuts, dried fruits, jerky and oatmeal and two Snickers. 4k calories total, all stuffed into a 5x8 zippered bag. Another tweak I would suggest that works amazing for me is wearing my BJJ rashguards under my jeans. Completely prevents any chafing or rubbing and protects you from bugs when you strip down for the night.

And a N 100 mask and high end glass goggles. And a prescription of Cipro antibiotic and emergency meds.

Your Steiner Safari binos are availible in 10x26 too (same design, some 85€ from amazon) - check it out. Steiner is one of the best brands on the market. IMHO monoculars suck, I always go with binos. I never waste space, bulk and money on a tourniquet - out in the field it's nearly useless, because you need to get to a hospital within some 90 minutes max. You can always take some cordage and a stick to substitute it. In my first-aid-kit I always carry special finger strips from Band-Aid (Johnson&Johnson) - in most cases I cut my fingers. Their adhesive is incredible, I carried some of them for about 20 years and they still stick well. Your socks from adidas and under armour look rather thin and "sporty" (cotton/polyamide). In cold weather I wear wool socks from the austrian army as a second layer with a pair of nylon or polypropylene socks underneath - very soft and warm. IMHO best survival food is nuts and raisins - no cooking required, compact, tasty and healthy. Didn't hear you talk about spare batteries for your flashlights. I put mine in a HD plastic bag and seal it, so they are waterproof. For comms I prefer a hand-crank radio, nowadays they come with an USB-plug to recharge other devices. Lastly I'm missing some leather gloves and a space blanket in your pack.

Yup I've had my eye on those Steiners for a while, great price and yeah I don't do monoculars, never liked em. Indeed most cuts are finger related, those strips can be a real asset. Regarding socks, I'm located in the deep south so wool socks are 100% overkill due to the warm winters. Forgot to mention batteries, I have two AA and two AAA always packed in a sealed bag buried in my pack if I might need them. Gloves...I always carry gloves on my person, currently I have a pair of partial leather Mechanix gloves that have served me well. I don't carry a space blanket.

Great vid! Makes me feel good because my dumb city boy ass pieced together something that overlaps a lot with yours. I’m sure it’s taken for granted, but you didn’t specifically mention water proof matches, magnesium, and a striker. Also, I know this is getting a little apocalyptic and may not be a concern for a 72hr, but I also keep some high test line and hooks. I have a Boy Scout survival guide in my pack and it has some nifty (albeit it untested by me) fish traps that you only need a hook and a line for, plus you can use the line to make some perimeter alarms if things are really dicey. Other off the wall stuff I have are a rat trap for said alarms and god forbid food, heavy duty freezer ziploc bags, and zip ties that can be binders, or handcuffs if need be.
