    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.

    ***** 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.

    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.

    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.

    3 weeks is how long it takes your brain to eat your body. It's not about whether or not you yourself can do it, you will have no choice in the matter. Within a week, you will go feral. 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.

    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.

    Morgan Broadhead when I'm on my way home in a storm, and I need to make a shelter, I'll make sure to use a Cliff bar wrapper. When I'm being attacked by bandits when SHTF and the government can't help, I'll throw some beef jerky at them. If I get shot, stabbed, step in or on something bad, or eat something not so healthy, I will not forget to just eat a handful of trail mix, and things will heal right up. Wow, you really got this figured out. No kits needed. No self protection. Just food. Thank you!

    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.

    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.

    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.
