Notes: - This is NOT a bugout scenario - this is an alert for defense - The five minutes includes a quick PCC/PCI - I got the MICH Helmet here: www.221btactical.com/products/mich-ballistic-helmet-level-iiia
It took 4 years to assemble multiple go-bags of mostly different kit for different scenarios: bug out; get home; SHTF; bug in. I was beginning to think I was paranoid and bat shit crazy. Hell, maybe I am, but looking at the world now, I'm convinced I was/am not! If things go south, and I need to be in a state of operational readiness (whatever that might look like at the time) I'm there in less than five. I'm no young man any longer, but I workout everyday except Sunday. That's the Lord's day. Anyway, my family and I still might not make it, but it won't be for lack of as much preparation and training as possible. God bless us all.
You are NOT crazy. The end of the world as we know it is at hand. Fifty years of study and prepping are about to pay off. Good luck to you and your family.
In my house the "battle rattle" is the easy part. What's really hard is getting my kids moving quickly to pack for even the most basic camping trip. It's like pulling teeth. Teenage daughters raise the difficulty level substantially.
Repeated exercises. "Grab one bag, you can carry. We're leaving in 10 minutes. Take only what you *need* for the weekend." Actually leave in 10 minutes. Take a day trip/overnight. Review what they brought, what they used & what they didn't. What did they forget/wish they had? Do it again in 6-8 weeks.
A little over a year ago we had to leave our house/town due to a chemical fire at a local plant while my wife was pregnant… our “go bags” were very survival/“tactical” and not practical for that kind of situation. Now we have most things organized in tote bins in the garage and it’s helped us in many ways. We know where everything’s at, more room due to proper organization and spur of the moment trips/activities are streamlined. Want to go camping? Grab the camping tote. Basically everything is staged in its own kit and we can pull from one to scale up the other depending on what we’re doing. Cold/warm/wet weather bins with appropriate clothing also staged in there so we don’t even have to think about what kind of outfits we’d want.
A tip from my bush days. Store some juice powder like game or Powerade on the kit so you can mix it in so much beter than just canteen water for dehydration and moral.
Absolutely right. Any beverage base powder, Tang, koolaid powder.....any of that can make the difference between yuck water that ya hate to drink and something refreshing.
In most real scenarios that require us to roll out like this, wife and kids are better left at home or somewhere away from the suck. As a family men, temporarily separating from our families is the hardest hurdle to overcome and accept.
Looks like a good time at the start of the video. Thanks for all the effort you put into these! Much appreciated. You could’ve started an only fans with that camera on the other side of you doing your water check.
@@YouveBeenMiddled the wife asked by I have so many sets of vest/armor/belts. I told her it’s for when my boys can’t get home to get theirs. Also why I have several mid grade ARs and glocks.
Randall, an "Equipping the Warband" series might be good. Gear you've found to have good value that can be passed out when Cousin Bob and his kids show up. He's got a 38 and a lever gun (because he's from a shit hole state), but nothing else. You need the help on watch duty. What to give him? WRSA used to have a "15 Fighters" series, dedicated to "how do I get some "good enough" gear to kit a warband that's assembled around me. Not so much a stack of ARs and mags (because not many of us have 10k laying around), but at least get a way to keep them warm and dry and with a belt of pouches, a ranger roll and over tarp, a Morakniv and cook set. (Or your version of same.)
If I can be forgiven for plugging another video, a guy named Analytical Survival had a "Bug In Playlist" on organizing the gear room that was useful to me.
I have my "Ready Gear" staged in my central hallway, between the living room and my bedroom. Quick and easy to grab and go, if I need to. At night the rifle follows me to bed, but the rest stays on the wall in the hall. To get out of the house I have to walk right past it, so no detours. Weapon(s), ammo, IFAK, water, TAP, all hung in the hall. PC and helmet stays in the bedroom unless I see or perceive a need for them. I don't have all the stuff that you do, but for a civilian I have the basics covered. I do get funny looks when I have company!! LOL Good Vid
@@SubParPilotSummer of "peace" saw multiple people from different communities come out to defend each other from "protesters". If there is some form of natural disaster or anything of that matter. It's good to be prepared so you can help your community, or be forced to defend it against hostiles
Putting on everything in full kit, ive timed myself, im just under 4 minutes. It took practice to get there but also im changing all my clothes putting on boots and also gearing up. The time marks are the door threshold of the room where my stuff is. Started off at 7ish minutes, but worked my way down. Training really does a lot for you, even just moderate training or trying out things really helps out. Once amonth or twice a week, improvement starts when you do.
I like the organization and the forethought put into your gear. If you do have to leave in a minutes notice you will know where everything is. I do something very similar with mine too. Good video!
If youre not fat the gear that works with randall should work for you. Im 6'5" and the only issue I have is finding pants that arent name branded and 300 dollars.
I'm in suburbia. #Carkit - to get back to residency or move to final location. #BOB - at residency to get to final location or for long term use. #Nevercominbackpak - at final, you get the picture. #Foodstashes burried on route. And at final location. #NB bug in may be necessary. If zombies steal your food, are they going to get sick! REMEMBER Having a plan AND work/drill the plan is necessary. Your lack of planning is not my emergency. Complacency = 😵💀 This video may not suit your situ. But it tells you clearly... Prior preparation prevents piss poor performance (or 😵💀) Thank you for all the effort you go to. It's rubbin' off on folks down here in Auzzi too. 💜👍 Universal Sovereign Citizen
Good stuff was never in the Military however Retirement Cpl with a SO worked alone and had to count on myself getting in and out as BU was usually a ways out. Geared up and keeping head on a swivel. Staying home taking care of momma and the home front for now. God Bless America 🇺🇸 stay salty!
Every day all day. All prepped and ready for whatever. Family safety and safety of my fellow countryman who believe in America as it was meant to be. There is thousands of us and plenty enough. Its a full time job as well. When in vehicle, home, anywhere. Those who got training know how it is. Once a soldier always a soldier. 11B for life.
I'm ready to roll in 1 minute, out of a closet. Just gotta hit the fridge for snacks and drinks on my way out the door lol probably should keep some food ready to roll but I always eat it......
Good stuff GP. I'd like to offer my carpentry skills in exchange for a lil training. I'm thinking a well built ready room cabinet would facilitate your concepts. What do you say? BTW, my method is similar to yours, however I don't have as much gear. You see I have Frank. He never moves and holds all of my quick response gear. Frank is a mannequin.
I can be ready in 5 for a regular ruck on foot. Give me 10-15 and I can be road ready with my tiny home trailer and truck rig. It stays rigged out and locked up indoors.
Organizational skills eliminates timeframe loss, cluster fuchsia is a time warping of potential death delivery, roll out quickly and quietly troop 🇺🇸🙏🏿🇨🇦 Great intel for our near future mission of survival and victory. ✌️
You and you compatriot made decent use of brevity codes in your call out scenario. Many survivalists don't understand the necessity of brief transmissions, especially when operating on an unsecure net. My concern, for a good trainer and communicator like yourself, is that the bad guys are going to come for you early, so you can't mess up their plans. Be safe.
I always liked west Texas. I'm up on the prairie in north central MT, it's not a whole lot different, water is sparse and cover even more so. It can get freakishly cold here, you guys can get some treacherous heat.
West Texas here too. But Northwest, just a little south of the edge of the panhandle. Different world here than in a lot of other places. Nowhere to hide...no concealment except tall grass or cotton fields! Lol.
My setup is battlebelt with three AR mags and two pistol mags. Work my way to my vehicle. Hidden in the trunk AR10 with two extra mags (25 round each). And my 10m to do more damage and survival kit.
I'm a 24 year old and I thought someone was in my yard who let my dog out at night I grabbed my kiappa m1 9 carbine and ran out and cleared my yard and kept my mom's voice down. I ran out cleared the yard. Turned out my mom had gone outside and didn't know she let my dog out. Who was in the front yard asking to get in. Cleared my entire property in 30 seconds. Front and back yard without exposing myself to much. Total time for me to respond was 5 seconds before coming to the conclusion. Everything was finished in a minute when we found out nobody but my mom did it. Yeah I feel my response being calm and collected is down pat to go fix things on my property.
i love the tap. only thing i dislike about them are the shoulder straps. i had a padded set made and added a waist belt . i love using that and just throwing on a pack. its light, very versatile and cheap as hell. lol. awesome video, cant believe im just finding ur channel.
I'd suggest having some bottled water for those times when you need to grab and go. Otherwise refill fresh, not keep them filled. If you forget to properly empty or replace a watercontainer VERY regularly you'd be in for a bad surprise.
By accident I have different setups like that but for rifle or shotgun or multiple pistols and I have tested them all and have a room for staging it all. Some call it home offense instead of defense...lol
Yeah! I'm so NOT ready... I feel like an idiot being a slacker/not prepared all these years when it comes to equipment and readiness. I mean, at least I've done the hand-2-hand combat training part - I guess, that's at least something but yet I'm still so far from ready.
Guten Tag Randall Thank you for this Insight and your thoughts on it. I am partially ready but the goal is to have really this 5 min standard. I am also a big fan of the TAP for ARs and the South African Chestrig for the AK. Your point with the versatility is also my opinion. Best regards
I found a water bottle platform that doubles down with a press filter. Having water is important yes, but having a way to clean your water on the go is so important. It’s important to have purification tabs as well just in case if needed.
I personally am nowhere near the same level as this, but I really like having two complete identical sets of identical gear -- a training set and a real world set -- and that way if one is being cleaned/repaired/maintained I have an identical set ready to go right then. (The only thing I don't have full replication on right now is NVG, because I'm trying to decide if I get a second set of identical ones or upgrade both.). I also have a lesser set (single tube, cheaper plates, older helmet) for an office I visit fairly frequently without access to my other gear.
I was told by an old psg that a good field soldier by default is a good garrison soldier. I.e. if you dont shine your boots, then they aren't waterproof. Then you arent taking care of your boots or yourself.
Depends what you're "ready" for... For some things, you'll want to be ready at all times; for a little bit more, ready in 5 is optimal...and for real serious business, it's simply gonna take however long it takes and you'll be ready as soon as possible. For the guy who's living a life, 5 minutes for anything really serious isn't even close...stay within your capabilities and reality, but be as ready as you can.
Depends on how we define ready. For home defense, seconds. For peace time homestead defense, probably 90 seconds. For all out "suit up" Xenomorph infestation, probably 10 minutes.
I hated wearing balistic helmets, always felt it only held my headset on securely. Never believed it would save my life except for some debis flying at me from a hit to a building. Always envied the operators and their ball caps...lol Today, I think I'll wear my ball cap with an ear piece.
@@Dudemanroman89 I feel like the tech has definitely caught up to where there could be some good budget options but these companies know they can continue to sell the most basic gen 3 for over 3 grand so why would they drop the prices best option is still to catch somebody on eBay trying to unload there purchase because they didn’t clear it with the wife or realized spending theyre whole savings account on a single pvs 14 wasn’t a good idea
By far, the best company I ever worked with for purchasing night vision equipment is Licentia Arms. It’s one of those companies where the owner answers the phone, is extremely knowledgeable, and will take all the time you need to get your questions answered and make sure you’re getting the right piece of gear for YOUR needs. No hard sell either.
I can pull it off in 5 minutes. I've found it difficult to prep for our youngest one, 12mo, though. Her needs change weekly it feels like so it's hard to prep for her for long duration situations. A go bag for her is simple enough, basically her diaper bag with some extra clothes and extra formula in case she gets separated from mama too long. We're trying out cloth diapers for their reusability in austere conditions, but hopefully we can get her potty trained soon.
Right now everything is locked away in the safe...so hell no I am not ready in 5 minutes, but if I knew they where coming I would be ready days or hours ago.
Old and busted, so it takes me about 7 min... :P But I also can admit that I am not going to be one of the patrol or reaction guys. Logistics it is for me, make sure all of my crew has what they need and keep it coming. :) That said, you still train as much as possible and do what ever you can. Took 8 years to learn to walk again, but you hammer at it long enough and anything is possible. Great content as usual.
