    Good evening sir. My name is Craig and I’m from Connecticut, USA. I like how you have everything in dry bags. I went with a less expensive option and use various sizes of ziplock freezer bags. I have multiple ways to start a fire and multiple ways to treat water. I have a stainless steel canteen with a nesting cup, a Sawyer, a Grayl and water purification tablets. I also carry a sillcock key mostly for urban areas to get water. The headlamp I use has various levels of brightness and a red light. It has a rechargeable battery and also takes AAA batteries and I pack a charger that can charge AA and AAA batteries. I use a Streamlight lantern that takes AA batteries. I carry a light tarp on the outside of my pack that I can set up in no time. I also carry an emergency bivy that is a SOL brand. I also carry a few bandannas that have multiple uses, one being a way to prefilter water. I made a small survival kit that I saw on the Ranger Fieldcraft and Survival page. You have a lot of great ideas, keep up the good work!

Your kit sounds spot on and I can see that you have tailored it to your needs. I get a lot of comments saying that I should have this or that but a KZread video is just a snap shot in time, not a fully laid out detailed plan for the zombie apocalypse 😂 😂 I too have the sol type bivi bag. Again thanks for time to watch and comment. Hopefully, you have subbed the channel for future content, if not keep doing what you love doing mate.

    Hi ya mate 👋, hope your keeping well. And thank you for posting another fantastic thought provoking video. So as I live in a small quiet little town called London, do I have a bug out bag ? And more to the point a bug our plan. Yes I have several bags ready to roll if needed. But mainly designed to be kept in our vehicle's to cover an emergency overnighter say due to bad weather or breakdown. Always have had a bag packed with essentials, but that's because im ex military and think it's just something that stays with us when we try to integrate back into civilian life 😂. The days of me lugging twice my bodyweight in kit are long gone even if in my mind I'm still that Royal Marine commando I once was. My body definitely doesn't want to play. I do desperately need to get some training with a pack in hopefully soon but unfortunately at present due to the radiotherapy they've now discovered? That my immune system is a bit buggered at the minute. So just having to be careful of picking up any germs or sneezes 🤦‍♂️. So now bug out plan ....to stay put. I'll explain 1. In the event of a full on eotw shtf situation to hit London there'd be millions of people panicking to escape from the city. Closing roads, rail networks etc. Besides everyone will be heading up to Scotland to help drink your mead 😉🍺 2. My eldest daughter is disabled and unless we're able to drive wouldn't be able to travel. 3. I have everything in place here. 4. By the time I'd decided what kit to take with me the shtf event would be over ( think that's why I never got the Thunderbird 2 pilot job, those pods don't just pick themselves ) There's other reasons but there for another day. And yes I do have a back up plan but that'd be implemented if required. So my take on a bug out bag say for a flood or storm or a situation that'd require you to leave home say for a couple of nights. Copies of important paperwork, birth certs, insurance etc Change of clothes Wash kit Medications Glasses ( blind as a bat without mine now too ) Food and water ( enough for say 24 hours, to tide you over until help arrives ? ) Am/ fm battery Radio Torch Mobile phone plus charger/ battery bank. Money, credit cards. Obviously the above list is only good for an urban type short term emergency evacuation. So now to look at your bag and contents. I like the modular systems that are interchangeable. Great idea to reduce weight and clear space say if your foraging or collecting stuff. And are able to cache any un needed kit in one of your cache locations. I like to look at cache locations as a kind of spiders Web with maybe the odd curve ball location thrown in for good measure. Love the fake locations too. I employ a similar tactic but with a completely different area ( marked ) O/s map just incase I do have to skip dodge. Maybe add some barter items in a couple of caches just incase you come across some friendlies. Soap, little miniatures of whiskey. That kind of thing. And always handy if you need them yourself. We could probably discuss items to include forever, hopefully along with your video mate, these mumblings of mine help to give people ideas too. Stay safe my old mukka Atb Rob

    I'm a qualified skipper and didn't know about Mintaka rising in the East - I learnt something useful today :) Thanks! Also you're very knowledgeable about nutrition and metabolic processes. Is this something that you've learnt in the army or later in life? I think that you should definitely make it into a separate standalone video. This is the sort of basic knowledge that should be taught in schools along with basic arithmetic and alphabet. The only thing that I'd add to the latter part of your video (not to the tin) is the necessity of multivitamins and fish oil. Having done many such long fasting and intense training challenges and having once lost 45kg in 6 months, I can say that multivitamins and fish oil are a must. About your survival tin, it's all great, and you're absolutely correct in pointing out that each such kit should be tailored to one's own conditions and necessities (in my case I don't even have such a tin, just have my EDC items on a braided paracord lanyard (Ranger BiC lighter (which has waxed jute, ranger bands, gorilla tape, sniper tape, kevlar, dental floss, needle, balloon and 2 water-tabs), knife, torch and whistle) and a small "gone-for-a-walk-pouch" which has a mylard, light poncho, SplashMap etc - basically covering all 10 C's), but you forgot to add sugar and tea. Potassium Permanganate without sugar? By the way, PP is also great for gargling when throat is soar, swooshing when toothache and many other uses. I'd also add a Vietnam Balm, Iodine, a backup map of local area on top of the tin. In any "got-lost" situation the best logic is to triangulate oneself in relation to closest roads. In this day and age it would also perhaps make sense to add a small 2W solar panel (or some kind of hand crank charger) just enough to make that "don't worry" call. For water obtainment, I'd add a Radar Key, British Waterways Key and 4-way Sillcock key. In most situations this is more practical than doing it the boy-scout way.

    😂 Thanks again mate and you are welcome on the Mintaka thing. I love natural navigation I find it fascinating that skippers of old navigated the globe by the stars. Also thanks for the hint about the multi vitamins. I had Cancer a few years back and decided to take control of my health, while I was bedded with the chemotherapy, I took loads of online courses and taught myself about the body and how it works with different Apps and loads of KZread videos. Once down the rabbit hole there’s no return 😂 Oh I’ve also learned something new about the PP and the throat. I have thought about a channel on this kind of stuff but might try a standalone on my channel under the guise of survival rations. Thanks again for your comments and support

    Scotland is scarcely populated: 5mln on 80,000 sq.km, and most of the population is urbanised in lowlands. Food cacheing is actually a great idea that'd work in Scotland. You can cache a month worth of food in a single plastic bucket, and then dot them across the land (obviously keeping a map for later tracking). As for that canteen being the "best", it really depends, the best for which purposes. Their only advantage is that they work a treat doubling as a hot-water bottle and warming up the bedding. I'm kinda moving away from round steel canteens - they never sit snug on the belt, always dangling; and they're heavy. For carrying large volumes of water (2L-4L), bladders seem to be a better idea as they don't weigh much. For boiling water, there's the Crusader cup and as a backup one could have either a titanium flask (Keith, Lixada, Tomshoo, etc) or a steel one. Alas, the perfect canteen is yet to be designed.

My next video will focus on bug out and the kind of pack you might wish to carry, generally never more than 10% of body weight. Plus caches along the way if needed to go on foot.

    Blimey, 24kg?!? That bergen alone must be 4kg. ...and no toilet paper, no food, no socks, no underwear, not much spare clothing, no radio? And you WILL need some initial food and water for the first couple of days at least. By the time you add those it'll be 30+kg. ...and you've got sour back! I appreciate this video, and obviously you're very organised, but in my thinking being light and having ergonomic and efficient carry system is of paramount importance. In my view, the excessive weight is the largest hole (the weakest link) in your setup. My bag is 11.7kg on standby (without water, but with 3-day emergency rations), all 110+ items have been weighed, considered, reconsidered and improved over time and have been thoroughly field-tested and I do not let it get over 18kg fully loaded with 7day food and 4L water, because that's what I can comfortably carry for long distances. Being able to do more with less is a skill. Reducing one's kit to the lightest possible setup is an art form. Here are my 2p (and please take these as constructive advices): * Try to save weight on excessive packaging. * Reconsider that massive Bergen for something smaller and lighter. (I have nothing against surplus equipment, I carry 40L Daysack myself with 2 added 12.5L rocket pockets) * Consider spreading the load with a belt kit carry system with large butt-packs or kidney-pouches. It's much more forgiving to carry weight on your hips than on shoulders and back. * A Soviet Army shovel can replace both of your shovels and the hatchet. A Glock shovel is also very good (and it has a saw too). [I opted for a US army e-tool from Vietnam era - that thing can move material like no other, although I might switch to Glock one because it's compact and lighter]. * That lovely knife could do with a much lighter nylon sheath * Simplify your fire kit. Ferro rods and flintstones are very cool, yes, but watching some of the prepper videos is like watching arsonists yearning for their boy-scout years. I've reduced my fire-kit to just 2 BIC lighters (moded to be waterproof and cleverly wrapped with waxed jute wick to prolong their life - with 3000 sparks each, they can make a lot of fires), while gorilla tape can provide some initial tinder, there's plenty of sap and birch in British woodlands if one knows how to use them. I've ditched all heavy fire starter disks, waxed matches, etc. My ferro rod alone was 220g; now each of my BIC lighters weighs 27g! (anyone who says butane can't light in sub-zero temperatures, just shake it a little). * Apply the logic of the previous point to all your kits! * Choose one between your Laplander and Silky. Alternatively, get a bucksaw with aluminium frame. But what I would do is get a saw blade from ScrewFix, and then easily make a Bow-Saw in the wild. * Consider having a small 10w or 20w panel permanently attached to the top of the bergen and constantly micro-charging while you're on the move. * Reduce the size of your powerbank. Also you can get powerbanks that have built in torches. I do like your use of the Medical Pouch up top, though - I might borrow that idea for my admin pocket mod.

    Hi there thanks for your time and comments. Yes you make many a great point about light weight kit around the 11 kg/12 kg point. At the start I state I’m not a fan of the inch bag as I don’t believe it is possible to carry everything you need, that’s why I say I don’t carry it far, it’s meant as the items I’d like to have on arrival at my bug out location which can cater for my needs. It is a vehicle pack as you’d need to be mad to lug this thing around. In a future video I have planned, I will have a much smaller pack that falls into the type you mention. Which is basically a grab and go with various supplies in different locations if I had to tab to my bug out location. Thanks again.

    Hi Jim, thanks for the comments. So to try and ease your mind I was the exact same as you, thinking will I go ahead and splash the cash. Short answer Yes. The video you watched was the first use of this tent and the weather was horrible, not one leak which surprised me as most tents do in a down pour. This is sold as a four sessions tent and I believe the quality to be great so far. My plan is to set this up at home the next time torrential rain is forecast to test it under more extreme conditions but first impressions are very positive. The stove was a dream to use and definitely worth the cash but make sure you use it a few times before using it in your tent as it gives off some strange smells first use. I agree now I’m past 50, looking for some nice nights out, I’ve been camping out for 30 plus years and not had this kind of thing before so it was an absolute joy to have. Yes I ordered everything straight from the Pomoly website and I was fearful that I’d get a tax and import bill, but nothing came. My set up came in three separate shipments so fairly confident that you wouldn’t pay tax on arrival and I think they have some kind of deal with the HMRC which is explained in the terms and conditions on the site, that said they also say you may be subject to tax. I also asked a few others before I bought and they all said no issues with Tax. Hope this helps you out, I certainly have no regrets buying it. I also feel once bought you’ll not need to buy again so it’s a one off cost. Mind tell the Mrs it’s £200 all in though 😂

    Hello again, would I fit a carp bed in the inner tent do you think?

  • @STIXSURVIVAL
    @STIXSURVIVAL5 ай бұрын

    Do you have the size?

  • @STIXSURVIVAL

    So this is the bed I use but not inside the Inner tent. I prefer it all one open space and this bed works perfect. I would say it will go in the inner tent but it will limit you access in and out, also with the raised bed your head may hit the roof of the inner tent. Condensation was my main reason for leaving down the inner tent. One thing I will say is try to find some kind of mat type things for the legs of your bed as if you are on soft ground it may puncture the ground sheet

While everyone be everyone would be different depending on location. This is the best inch bag load out I found Thanks brother

    For a bug out/INCH bag that is too heavy with a lot of unnecessary stuff, and you're dependent on a vehicle because you bergen is to heavy. You need to be able to tab/ruck for distance per day overland in a lot of SHTF scenarios.

    Thanks for the video! Subscribed! Thanks for the brush, good idea for cleaning the oven! I'm thinking about getting a water tank. But I'm wondering if it's worth it! Maybe it's not necessary? What do you think? I just need to lengthen the pipe and this way might work!

  • @STIXSURVIVAL
    @STIXSURVIVAL6 ай бұрын

    Hi there thanks for the sub and your time. I appreciate it. Yeah I think the tank is a worth while addition, if you need to wash your hands or make a brew this can rapidly reduce kettle time on top of the stove. Also it will indeed extend the length of the flue. My concern at first was the possibility of putting my face near it but it’s not that bad and I was using another door to access the tent. I also only put in what I wanted to use as filling it up will cause unnecessary condensation inside. Also worth saying that the tank still holds some water in the bottom below the outlet valve so watch when dismantling it all if you decide to get one. I personally would, you can decide to leave it at home if you don’t feel the need to take in certain circumstances. I find with all these things that you change your mind in a year and all of a sudden you can’t get them, so best to have the full setup. The wee brush is a great idea just mind no shave with it 😂 Thanks again for your time hope this helps.
