One of my favorite ways to practice getting home is to have my brother drop me off anywhere in a 25 mile proximity of my home, blindfolding me in the car. I rely on my maps to get me home. He's even dropped me off outside of NYC once and I had to travel 50 miles. It was an experience all right.

One thing I'd consider is to put your condition yellow things in a small fanny pack. So if you have to leave your truck. First thing you do is put the small fanny pack with your essential items. And then keep your other items I the back pack. So that way if you have to ditch the bag or get separated from it you always have your essentials on you. For example. You find a camp site. Set your bag down. Leave to go to a water source. And then for some reason can't get back to your bag. You'll still have your fanny pack and not lose everything.

Feel like this is one of the most honest Get Home Bag videos without all the fancy gear. 4 things i like a bout this video compared to others: 1. Normal EDC items you should already carry. 2. Backpack that most people already own. 3. Codes to easy access your items based on situation. 4. Toilet Paper.

Loved the video. Great advice. I think you packed just the right amount. I have tended to over pack items but now I try to consider the stages as you suggest. Thanks for the great advice.

***** I'm surprised people don't carry another form of transportation. Hiking boots are great but honestly if you trying to get home the roads are probably the best way to go. A skateboard, scooter, or inline skates would cut the travel time in less than half and conserve a lot of energy. I always have a skateboard in my truck because I skate but I always thought that it would be a great tool for many situations. Like if I ran out of gas, I'd rather skate to the gas station than walk lol. A cheap scooter would probably be the best alternative for you older folk, but if you are taking this stuff serious I would highly recommend it.

Okay, think about it. If you're on roads and you find yourself without your vehicle you can just call for help. Therefore there is no need for transportation. Perhaps he did't explain this well but you are at least 3 hours from home. I think what he meant to say is that you are at least 3 hours from civilization. If you're on a road, it's most likely a dirt road in which case a skateboard wouldn't do you any good and even if it did, you'd find yourself carrying it at some point and that gets heavy. Remember you are 3 hours from civilization. You'll end up having to ditch it. A scooter just isn't feasible to carry with you everywhere you go. Especially if you are not on any type of road, rather back country, woods, hills etc, rocky terrain.

Dude, you are the FIRST person to mention "mole skin" and I've seen like 30 or so of these types of videos. Good job bringing that up!!

Thanks for sharing all of your research! You've made our evolution into preparedness much less painful and definitely less expensive. I ended up with an Osprey raptor 14. I'm able to maintain it and it follows me in and out of my vehicle daily.

5 knives needed for spending 48 hours outside ..think that tells me everything I need to know about this channel

Perhaps it's just a fortunate accident that at 1:58 in the video there's a road sign reading, "End State Maintenance." Of course the sign was simply referring to the governmental entity responsible for the road's upkeep. But that's a pretty good statement for the preparedness mindset. End the notion that the Nanny State can, should, or will, maintain people.

This was the video I used as reference to put together my GHB many years ago. I am a field service technician and travel throughout GA, Alabama, and Tennessee. I inspect it and revise the contents, and make changes 2 times a year. Need to replace expired items and the clothing layers. The most important thing to do is wear the bag on occasions. Take on a hike, and remember to keep the bag as light as possible.

Best I can tell, this is the first video he uses his complete signature sign off “Be strong, be of good courage...”

Well done & thanks for putting the Bible in your pack.

I was glad you included your New Testament . Very good info.

I like the arrangement of yellow, orange and red items. That seems like a good organization method. Thanks for the video.

I am glad you added the part about The Word.

I want to rename the rule: Rule of Twos. Most people cannot hold their breath 2 minutes. Most can't go 2 days without water. I can hold my breath 3.5 minutes. I fast regularly (without water) and I can do two days without water, but it's rough. Most people I know would pass out before 3 min and would have severe physical pain with no water for two days. Most people would be useless after 2 days. IDK if I could go 2 weeks with no food and still be worth a damn. Never tried and don't want to. My point is, 2 would fit most people and it's unrealistic to expect a person to be be capable of anything much beyond 2 minutes, days, or weeks. Also, 3 hours in adverse conditions is nonsense. If you're soaking wet in below freezing temps, you don't have 3 hours... especially not 3 useful ones. I can last a lot longer than 3 hours in freezing cold temps if I'm dry - just keep moving. Sleep is when you need the layers for heat.

In less than two weeks, you will have serious damage to your body, possibly irreparable. After two weeks, your brain can't get the necessary nutrients to sustain itself anymore, and it too will start to break down (brain damage). So don't test yourself beyond a few days, it's just not worth it.

The opening shots of 285 show exactly why I want to build a get home bag….Snowmagedon 2014 was a bit of a wakeup call for us Atlantans.

This is the most sensible get home bag video I have seen. The video of the traffic incident is Gwinnett county Georgia where I live. My bag is similar but I added a hennessy expedition hammock. The reason I did this because I am a field service rep and can be up to 50 miles from home.

Sutures.... no one mentions sutures. Depending on the hour of the day (coming home at sunset), you may have to hop over some barbed wire to walk through old macdonald's farm or could fall on something sharp. At least some wound closure bandages or closure glue. Are all the dudes afraid of needles and stitches? At least some duct tape.... every prepper and survival expo I've been to has some free suturing class and suture sets are $2. It wouldn't help having all this stuff if you bleed out from a piece of glass gashing your stomach.

+Keith Rayeski Absolutely, most survivalists giving videos have purrell, bandaids, and duct tape for a med kit. Youre ahead of the curve as far as covering a deep wound with a good syban or ace bandage. I only say that wound closure would be a high likelihood and yet most forgotten supply set & skill because more than likely a get home bag would be used in late afternoon or early evening during rush hour with a 10-30 mile hike home in the middle of the night (3 miles/hour normal walking pace equals 10 hours if continuously walking with no break). So while the need for light discipline is high at night b/c you may not know if a looter is waiting in the treelines, the likelihood of being cut from a trip, fall, or while climbing an obstacle (barbed wire, broken bottle, etc) is even higher. Long story short, a wrap like yours is perfect for covering up deep cuts or even wrapping a splint for ankle or knee twists.

You know Sootch00, I keep coming back to this one for one reason - you've got a well thought out "plan" for this bag and it has all the real essentials. The videos you've done since on this topic feel much more gear-centric than plan-centric. Just wanted to make that observation. Love these kind of videos from you.

Smaller bills are good too. If you bust out a roll of 20's in front of a stranger you just make yourself into a target. Color choice of backback and items were good too. Don't wanna walk with super bright colors or military camouflage. I know this is just a get home bag but if it hits the fan odds are you aren't the only one trying to get home. Great video!

44 years old. Eagle Scout. Backpacker. Never needed anything like this before in my life. Save yourself the hundreds of dollars you're going to spend on all this gear and just keep some snacks in your car to tide you over while you call a friend or family member to come pick you up.

Sootch, this is one of the best videos that you have done! Thanks for the effort. I continue to appreciate your fine videos and valuable input! I am constantly reworking and rethinking my gear but you often help me clear my head when it comes to sensible survival.

Great vid Sootch! LOL! "...leave my truck?!..." I hear ya there! New Testament, great idea! I gotta get a pocket version like that too.

Great video as usual. For me, a get home bag is more essential than a b.o.b. During the week, 99% of the time, I'm a minimum of 30 miles from home. More often than not, I'm about 60 miles from home. My GHB is similar with the exception of food. Knowing how I function, keeping a few days worth of food is very important.

Your get home bag was very well put together.

My Bug Out bag: Toaster, mini- microwave , butter knife ( for butter toast ) , handy dandy Q-tip , 1 piece of bubble yum , and of course 1 bottle of jack daniels. Guaranteed survival no matter where you go.

I like the concept of having a smaller bag. I've been keeping my BOB in my truck for my 30+ mile daily commute. The smaller bag would be much lighter and more mobile for summer use. Come winter time though, I'll need the bigger bag.

Nice traffic shots of Atlanta, Scootch...I travel those roads just about everyday. Keep up the good videos.

Good vid Sootch. I like the fact you picked a relatively nondescript civilian style pack for your kit. Excellent thinking.

Finally - a good SENSIBLE video on get home bags! I've watched a lot of them, and most want to load you down as if you were going to live the rest of your life out of the bag. Women - don't forget to add a few hygiene essentials.You recommended an EDC first aid kit, but please think about putting together a video on the essential items for making your own first aid kits (EDC/yellow/orange/red). I've found most pre-packaged first aid kits have a lot of junk in them and lack some of the essentials.

Nice job Sootch. I like the New Testament in there.

I'm putting one of these together for my girlfriend who will be starting a driving job soon. Sootch nailed the fundamentals very well, one thing I'll add is for you to consider what climate region you live in. For example you may want warmer gloves over the lighter ones in the video if you have colder conditions. Consider where you spend most of your time, and what items would be most appropriate for those conditions. Another example, a higher crime area may require more ammunition

Something you should mention about the radio. While you're correct that you don't need a license to listen, nor do you need a license to transmit during an emergency. However, the chances of you actually knowing how to work the radio without a license is slim to none for most people. Even licensed persons have a hard time using their radios outside of the programmed memories they have. So I always encourage people to get their Technician license if they're thinking about keeping a radio for emergency use.

Working on my family GHB's today... If money is tight, one doesn't have to have a $100 hydration backpack for a GHB, especially since the bladder will most likely be empty. Many of the cheap, foreign backpacks, if you evaluate them closely, are pretty decent bags (good zippers, tough Cordura, water resistant). Remember the intended purpose! 1 to 3 days get home bag... These cheap bags will last 1-3 days. This way you don't have an expensive "high end" bag that may only get used for tests and ONE USE when you need it. Put the $$$ saved into quality stuff inside it... YMMV!

By the way Lays are flammable. Matter of fact the way calories we're measured was by burning the food to see how long it took to burn they measured on wether or not it was high or low in calories. Fritos and Cheetos are the most flammable of the Lay's chips so far a small bag of them would make a good fire starter... Or snack. A get home bag is not exactly a get you home bag it's more of get back to cell reception so you can call your wife, brother, sister, cousin, someone to come pick you up and take you home. Unless it's SHTF and their is a big emergency and society is falling. Oh and Moleskin counts as a 1st aid item. You cannot go three weeks without food. After 1 week without food your hardly functional what makes you think you won't pass out from exhaustion during that time. Yes can live 3 weeks without food but that doesn't mean it's not important for fueling you. Your body needs protein and electrolytes.
