Awww, Richard. You missed my selfie putdown! I am a gal that KNOWS the wilderness very well, why do you think I watch every episode, ask lots of questions and I pretty much know what GBGB is doing and thinking. I am a gal, by the way. Grins. Not a guy. Not a foo-foo girl either. He IS FOR REAL. I guess not many people knew I was being very very facetious! I wasn't talking about selling or buying stuff. That's why I paid the dough to sign up for GB squared! I started out calling him GBGB and someone else came up with GB squared. I am glad that you 'almost' worship the guy. These are the real warriors of countries. I lived with one for half a decade, Green Beret, Special Forces. We became professional DANCERS! And did one heck of a lot of backpacking in the country most humans will never know.

His pack is so light because he is packed with skills. The majority of us mortals don't have as much skills so the kit might get a bit heavier. That being said, best kit I have ever seen, nevertheless.

Heavy Duty trash bags are excellent but not mentioned by survivalist. It often rains In the eastern half of the USA. Feet are critical. Placed inside boots & over socks keeps feet comfy, dry & warm thru rain, streams and mud. They're also great for ponchos, carrying stuff, water container, etc.

Trash bags for feet liners? I simply used old pantyhose made into feet liners. I always wore my oldest most comfy worn-in boots. Otherwise, I would have gone barefoot. I lived and hiked in the Pacific Northwest. I definitely always take contractor trash bags, 3mil, on every trip.

Problem with trash bags to keep feet dry is they don't breathe. I used them at a music festival and nearly got trench foot. I agree that they have a lot of other applications though. I suppose it depends on the size of your bag whether you could fit them in.

@@winterfar2814 Being able to hike without boots and barefoot works well too, but takes some practice. I use pantyhose., cut off to my knee, then a wool sock (never cotton), and then the shoes/boots. The boots/shoes should be well broken in without losing stabilizers. A fantastic line of shoes for us barefoot weirdos is Xero Shoes. Steven and Lena are owners. The main thing is that you train your feet and legs to be able to support yourself without a cast making your own muscles weak, atrophied. I loved your comment...are you a barefoot weirdo, too?

I've tried eating the life boat rations for 3 days and decided that, in bad times, it would be an added misery. I carry the flavored Millennium Bars and supplement them with some trail snacks and a few Slim-Jims for morale. I'm pretty sure that the few added ounces will be worth it.

I've tried to eat those bars too but could never eat more than a few bites. Dry and gross and needed alot of water to wash it down. Horrible. I'd rather pack a few Mountain House meals and bag of jerky . Maybe a few squeeze packs of peanut butter but I stopped using those food bars because that would be miserable to try living off that for even a day would suck

I've been a food and medical pepper for awhile now. All the things I have wouldn't mean a thing if I don't know how to you. I believe beginner survival training is a must these days.

Yeah definitely taking notes here

Finally, someone who actually knows what he is talking about!

A person can blow a lot of money trying to dial in the perfect pack, these videos are seriously appreciated. I watched this a year ago and again just now, I think I've done okay, with your help Thank you. I've got a Green Beret buddy that's CID now, only about 400 of those guys in the country. I'd sure like to get some qualified people together, human trafficking is insane right now we just can't do enouph. the local PD puts it off to special investigations and seems they are just ignoring it right now. hopefully they have something up their sleeve. A freind of mine recovered 30 girls last summer and the daily activity no one hears about is a serious issue. Occasionally they snag a girl with a rich daddy that has money to hire someone like my friend, well I think we need all of them back and to eliminate that market all together.

I like that it is a to the point, no flashy gear set up. Obviously, if you have space for additional gear, go for it. But this is the basics. Good video!!

Something I've always carried when I road freight trains for nine years is a small makeup mirror that snaps closed. It's great for getting things out of your eye, you can keep fish hooks and line in it, you can keep a few pills of Adderall in it for extreme energy, thinking, and hunger suppression in emergency situations, you can break the mirror to cut something, and you can signal with it. Really one of those must have things in my opinion that no one ever seems to talk about.

I want to comment on the Life-raft bars. I carry them also. MRE's take up too much room even if you take them out of the package. I started out with MRE's and Mountain house food but they just took up way too much room. I get a ration of crap from my fellow preppers over the SOS bars, "You get sick of the taste" or other moronic statements. When trying to get home (I Live rural so I have a get home bag) I'm only focused on getting home, I can live with not have a variety of food. Great presentation.

Of all the stuff I watch, your bob videos reinforce my confidence the most. Just dropped almost 10lbs switching from a cheapo backpacker 2man to a mosquito net with a tub bottom and a monster tarp - Id love to bivvy, but I gotta make room for a hound dog

Focus on the needs - 100% agree

I swap the model Swiss Army knife he had for the Swiss Champ. So many more tools. Hack saw for metal, magnifier, tweezers, pen, tooth pick, a small pin, jewelers screw driver and a lot more.

Absolutely amazing video, the content & delivery is bang on. Timely too as I'm putting together survival bags for each family member. You've earned a subscriber good sir.

Speaking of a "lighter extender", I will wrap my lighter with waxed hemp twine until it's bulky, like maybe an inch thicker and bulging in the middle. This way I just use the lighter to ignite the end of the wick and unravel it as it burns down. Makes a lighter last much, _much_ longer.

Josh, I know this is an old video, but this seem like a good place to ask the question on my mind; as a park ranger we carry bear spray, it not only works against bears along with other animals also, it's something I encourage outdoor people to carry for their safety, do you carry anything like this yourself, I know many will say to just carry a gun, but not everybody does or is comfortable carrying a gun, I still carry bear spray when I head into the outdoor where I know there might be bear or other animals which cause harm.Thank.

I remember being oh so very OCD with pack weight. I mean, I broke the handles off brushes, teeth brushes to keep the weight down. So here I am watching Joshua pulling tool after tool from the pack, each tool having its own holster. Yummy organization. I am already eye balling those buttery leather holsters, for each tool, as quite a bit of weight. I like the roll up tool holder. I know I've seen you use one or two of these cloth/leather tool organizers before? Glad to have you back, GBGB!

Best Video Ive seen on topic

Respect

Super vid. I am a new sub and am enjoying the way you present your content.

Glad to see others have come around to the sos rations. Been using them for years and suggesting them. Best bang for the buck! We literally carry an almost identical set up. I enjoy how yours is slimmed down a hair from mine. Also been really curious about that grayl filter for a while so I'm pleased to see a positive opinion from you about it. I may have to purchase one. Thanks as always!!!

Realized I watched this in AUG but it's good enough to watch twice. My potential mods to a 3ish day, get home type bag the 1 pound buff the kit list as follows. I like a small 20 ltr pack but always with a hip belt. If you run or load up heavy the belt is so important. I add 4 pouches of Ramen in mine sodium packs mixed in for 3 day food additional needs (pure carbs n salt as if your running a marathon) worth adding to any pack . For longer term use, the container is a ziplock slide lock then vac sealed. I always have a small tub of VICKS rub as it is the multitool of petroleum products. Did you know why VICKS even prevents rust by mere proximity??? last add would be a mylar turkey oven bag, super tough, tie it off hang over coals and boil water in it as it resists 400 deg F more full of water too.

You have nice equipment in your backpack, but I have a larger one which is loaded with plenty of equipment and medical supplies I need for emergencies. The only thing which I don't have in my pack is food and a few clothing items I would need for an overnight situation. My medical kit contains most of the items I would need for an advanced injury as well. I carry one canteen and have another in my pack with the filter in it, and also have tablets to also clean water for drinking.
