Dollar Store Bug Out Bag (DSBOB) 

Don't want to take up your time! But funny story!! So I was at Walmart walking around looking at all the stuff to put in my bob don't have a lot of money but when I can I pick up little here and there!! I'm also building a boarder box so I was getting little items To trade with. So I passed the the stuff For woman. Tampons and pads so I was reading the pack to check on the way it absorbs for bleeding though this could help also for packing wounds a compress larger cuts. So I picked up some stuff and at the checkout unloading my buggy the woman behind me she said it nice to see a guy that would pick up that for his wife without missing a beat told her nope I'm single there for me. She left the line and moved to another line and the cashier was looking at me funny also. So I asked her if that was the only heavyweight pads that Walmart carried?? Trying to answer !! I told here that was fine I'll start with those. Lol

Anybody else wanna see his store room of bugout bags he has built

Coconut oil. It can b used for cooking, dry skin & hair, and it even has medicinal uses, as does honey.

I honestly expected to see as the dollar store defense a tube sock filled with 100 pennies because it literally cost just over a dollar

OH few other things came to mind while making coffee.....instant coffee, sugar packets. If you have kids like I do, cereal in baggies or maybe the small box ones.

You mentioned not being able to find pepper spray at those stores; My wife worked in the office at an apartment complex in a not-so-nice neighborhood. Official rule was that they could not have weapons in the office, but she always kept a can of wasp and hornet spray at her desk. That will work in that capacity, with a 20-feet (give or take) spray range! The DG brand is only a few dollars.

Veeeeery nice, a good primer to get started, people are completely brainwashed that they need the latest and most expensive "tacticool" equipment, knowledge and skills will beat equipment most days, thank you!

Who else is watching this because of Covid 19

Some very great choices! Nice job. Thanks for posting.

that's awesome, watched this video this morning & was inspired. went to the reject shop - Aussie equal to dollar stores. picked up a few cheap items to throw into the car bag I'm doing up. my daughter gave me her school bag, bought her a good quality High Sierra 50ltr pack last year & she never used it, just carted her laptop around. so score for Dad.

This is a very inspiring video. Here in Ontario,Canada. Our dollar stores and Wal-Mart's don't have half the stuff you guys have I the US. But none the less I Have made it work. As I constantly scoure thrift stores and any kind of dollar store. Maybe not the best quality,buts it's better than nothing. It's taken a just over a yr to collect things. But I did what I cud do on a small income well on a sick leave. I watch a lot of ppl like urself to learn and upgrade when I can as well as newer equipment. So w that said...keep up the good work. God Bless.

Thank you for all your advice on bug out bags! So helpful!

Thank you. I enjoyed your presentation the the idea is scary. I am about keeping warm and dry. Like the tarps, need more than one. One under you at night one over you. A long sleeve sweat shirt /pants, extra socks. California is cold all year especially at night. Every where is cold at night. Keep warm, important!

Thanks for share this great video. The first step of survival is know that you need buy cheap ... 👍👍

Get petroleum jelly, roll cotton balls in that and them stuff them in empty toilet paper rolls. Bag them and keep to instantly start fires. Thanks for the video!!

The Dollar Tree near me has Sterno cans. Can't beat those if you need fire quickly. Other things from a dollar store that can be useful would be extra socks, nylon stockings, emery board, nail clippers, tweezers, sunblock, paper clips, extra batteries, salt, ziplock bags, push pins, books, pliers, screwdrivers, wire. They also have baby food and that shelf stable milk that doesn't require refrigeration. Something else to consider if you have a newborn or very young children.

SSBA I got the bag and I like the way you packed it . I am very thankful for everything . Keep up the good work Tim the Dollar Store bug out bag winner . "Don't you love the smell of Mexican candles in the morning "

The thing I like about my bug-out kit is they have many of the basics you need when camping. The main difference with camping is you will have a larger tent and sleeping bags, air mattresses, and a cooler and bags full of food and access to safe clean water. The fire starters, hatchet, knives, medical kit, cordage, flashlight... can be used. A good chunk of my kit is stuff I already had or things less than $2. I try to keep to a small backpack and 15 pounds max.

I was building a survival pack for a friend of mine, but had no money to do it, and knew she didn't need incredible gear, but obviously didn't want to give her crap stuff. The dollar tree was actually pretty good for most of the stuff I got.

I do use stuff from those stores for some basics, as I'm on a fixed income as a retiree. Thanks for doing this review...something sometimes can beat "nothing" in hand.

just got paid yesterday heading to dollar store to make this

I was also thinking of making an affordable bug out bag, great job and god bless!

Good variety of supplies 👍🏾

looks like I could add a few things to my BOB. Thanks for the ideas!

Great video! I have 2 medical emergency bags I'm going to use to break one down into my BOB.

This was excellent. Definitely filling a need for many.

I save dryer lint for tinder it works great and it’s free

You rule, dude! I'm so glad you remembered the aluminum foil, useful for so many things. In a pinch, you can even make yourself a hat. Great work, man!

Nice choice of music !!!🤟CRAZY TRAIN🤟!!!

The jute cord being able to be used in making fire just makes it one of those handy multi-use things to have around. Great find!

This was great. Not everyone can afford the best but when you can put a basic bob together for $50, this is a great start and little by little you can upgrade.

Dollar stores are a great place to stock up on food. Up here in Canada, we have a chain of stores called Dollarama. They have a pretty good selection of canned and dry goods at really good prices. Half the price of the grocery stores. Also good for toiletries, candles, small kitchen stuff and lighters/matches. Time for me to hit my rack. As you were!

I found a mini-multitool at Family Dollar a few years ago. Not the highest quality or good for bigger jobs, but it's helpful in a pinch and also it came in pink, so I was sold.

Spam singles!!! That's like crack to a Yorkshireman it's a good job we can't get that in the UK. Thanks for taking the time to get all the gear to do the vid it's nice to see what is available round the world.

great idea for people like me that are on social security disability who don't have a lot of money

Thanks for posting. The title was catchy and I wanted to fill out my current supplies with anything I didn't think of.

Spam always reminds me of when I was a kid and we never had a lot of money once my parents paid the bills spam and chips was a staple lol another great post.

I had a bad of that trail mix. I had it in my bag for 3 years. I just kept forgetting to replace it. About 2 weeks ago We were refreshing our bags (we do every 3 months) and I thought for sure i would have to replace it. Well I did but I opened it up and it was FINE. I ate it. the chocolate chips were turning white a little bit no putrid oils or nothing. So I know that stuff will last at least 3 years unopened. I like that tarp you got. It's thinner and looks lighter than the heavy duty ones I carry. I just don't NEED heavy duty for a emergency short term situation. I'll hit them up this weekend. Thanks brother.

Yardley Lavender soap is mildly antiseptic. So good to use when scratched bug bites etc. It helps healing speed not scientific just an opinion from a old welder friend. I like this kit awesome little trunk bag.

good thinking on that bag and thanks for thinking of other ppl grate job

Great bag for what you could get from a dollar store. Having three kids, I loved the baby bug out bag video, something I didn't think of doing. I am also glad you and T-Rex made up.

Awesome...I'll have to give it a shot. Baby Bug Out Bag is on my list to watch. Great job...thanks for the share.

Really enjoyed that, You and "sippycup" did good on the "baby bug out bag" I have grands under 2 yrs. so it's great. Thanks.

Nice job!! Looks to me that you coves quite a bit. I’m totally going to steal that idea.

Sometimes the Dollar Tree will have random things like fire starter kits. I grabbed several the last time I saw them. They also have aluminum sheets. I think that may be easier for cooking packets of food that don't require much liquid. Great video!

Crazy train!! This reminds me why I got ‘ozzy’ tattooed onto my left knuckles lol

Stainless steel pet food bowls at dollar tree is where it's at. Cotton balls and hand sanitizer to start a fire too, baby oil, wax, Vaseline, carmex, or chapstick also works. Dollar tree also has chafing fuel with a wick for cooking. Shower curtain liners are thick at dollar tree to use for shelter. That wound be a great kit to keep in the car...a get home bag... i would add a deck of cards for morale.

Thank You for showing this cost effective back pack bugout bag very informative 👍

very cool video. you got alot of stuff for 50 bucks. you are probably in the top 2 of my favorite survival channels. keep up the awesome videos

those little shovels work great to dig bait for fishing

Thank you for the knowledge!!

Nice and easy b.o.b well done

Love the runes!!!!

hell yeah. brought the dinosaur back.

I wonder if you took the blade out of the Little hacksaw could you run a piece of cord through it to use a bow for a bowdrill fire?

@ 5:10 Dollar store mace = hot sauce and a squirt gun...lol

great idea on the Aluminum Foil alternative, something that can give your bowl some solid shape is if you take your ball cap off and line it with aluminum foil it could hold together without tearing easier

Like the idea of adding waist 'n chest straps. Can also beef up shoulder straps w/ more sewn-on padding. Maybe Sippy can do a sewing vid on that? Found out the hard way, (bears), no scented soap! Purell's better. I know it's not a dollar store item, but I urge folks to ditch scented baby wipes, soaps, etc, and spring for dr. bronner's pure castille unscented..use for washing dishes, shampoo, laundry, etc. Thx for the vid Sarge. May I also suggest one on preventing 2 big hazards when buggin out? Dehydration, and upset tummies from stress. I carry chewable pepto tabs & immodium. Many folks are unprepared for how their bods will react & it can be deadly. Thx again.

Thanks for doing the video, it's good to know u can do it with dollar store stuff👍.

very cool and very helpful! Thank you!

I'm doing a bug out bag [I'm practically sitting over the San Andreas fault] and I found good stuff in the "99 cents only" stores. Got some hand cranking flashlight there!

Where I live, there are 3 Dollar Trees nearby. They each tend to carry different things at times besides the regular stuff. I have found small pocket knives at times, the steel water bottles, and other things. In their party supply section, you can sometimes find small cans of generic sterno. I can spend hours in the store looking at things and finding ways of making things from the supplies you can get. My favorite game to play with myself is, what can I get for $20.00 to make a 3 day kit.

For my kit I have a full serrated lock back from the DT 🌲. All plastic handle but a nice clip and lanyard hole. Not junk. IMO

just a helpful hint. if need be you can turn a spaghetti colander upside down with two little tealights under it and the silver bowls sit on it perfect to heat food. it also holds a coffee carafe/metal percolator perfect! used this technique when we had a three day power out.

Really good video, gave me some ideas to work with, thanks.

Thanks for your service Devil Dog...USN Vet here..Love the videos..Keep them coming...Take care Brother...

DUDE!!! Love the Runic sign in the background...ALL HAIL ODIN!

I would have added a box of zip lock bags so you can keep everything organised, waterproof and visible in the bag. Also some playing cards or a book to allow you to think about something other than survival for a bit, they can keep your spirits up in a longer emergency and keep kids occupied. Good kit though.

Nice job with the Dollar tree & Dollar General BOB. Vitamins nice extra touch. Also an item to have earplugs.... Also good for children's BOB. Keeps them from hearing things unpleasant and protects their ear from bugs crawling in their ears when camping as some kids are autistic and don't like bugs or germs and so on. Just a tip. Better to safe than sorry. Good job of thinking of babies, others. Simply kind and great job on the bag! 😁

I'm a 30+ year auto glass tech and have fixed lots of cuts with rags and duct tape!

Amen on the super glue . I keep redunancies of super glue and i even keep epoxy in my truck .

Great video. Nice to see you show folks who complain they can't afford to be prepared, how easy it is to get something put together. $50 bucks! Even if they buy a few things at a time, something is better than nothing! And, I love the Dollar Tree too! They have some awesome hot sauce in that place!

this video got me thinking of those "b,o,b's made from stuff in your home" not everyone has money to "waste" on preps lol it's easier to justify extras of normal stuff imho

Our Dollar General has a little LED lantern it uses 3 AA batteries. they last for days being on for 6 to 7 hours a night. The last set of batteries lasted 36 days. Now the light gets weaker as time passes but it is for a night light in your tent or shelter.

Thankyou for this video!

Dude, I love video's like this. These give me so many ideas on to improve on and to not worry about what cheapness some of the same shit is from Wal*mart and or Target. I actually found a multi purpose tool at Dollar Tree, they are Seasonal. You can find a lot of stuff seasonal that is just too cool to pass up on, so I grab 3 at a time for what ever it is. Like a water proof bag for your valuables, electronic, paper, things that shouldn't get wet and I tested it and it works. Great idea and I will make a B.O.B. or two for my friends who just can't seem to get an idea on SHTF and that it WILL HTF. I would like myself a video on any ARMY SURPLUS Stores. Keep up the great work and awesome beard brother.

Damn man! You got that Yardley soap at a DOLLAR store!? That's good stuff...

excellent video sir!

There is a hundred uses for those candles. Wax cotton balls, clean wounds, pillow, insulation, wax slugs, keep your shelter above freezing etc. Those are just a few that come to mind off the top of my head.

This would also be nice to keep in the vehicle if there is a chance of a break-in and having it stolen. Especially if you don't want to take a chance of losing your expensive stuff.

Good loadout,BA! As for the sewing kit being used for medical... well,it’s been done by yours truly.... Sippy Cup, I actually used a sewing needle and cotton thread to suture up a gash in my shin... lol. I know,not hygienic but the best that was available. As you were,SSgt!

That was great!

Entertaining to say the least !You seem to have a lot of fun doing this ! For me at the advanced age of 75 and a wife of 60 years of age, it is more of a get home bag that I orient my two car bags to. At home I have all I need in the way of fairly long time survival supplies and material so getting home is my first priority. Still, I enjoy your posts. Ben

great finds!!!! I will get a miswak stick or 3 for my bugout bag, nice water bottle yu got at the Dollar Tree

so glad I found your channel.

I made a couple of those bags and handed them out to other family members so I guess I'll have to make a trip and make another one when I get home. Great ideas for those that want to make a bag and don't know where to start. keep em' coming brother!

The dollar store sell Ziploc type bags, you should consider a box of those, and you can keep your important things like your toilet paper dry. It will also hold water, and help organize your pack.

That was fun to watch and informative I saw the one on the baby bob I thought that was very smart especially for young couples with kids you can't cram all the baby stuff in with your stuff. Run into some bab people "excuse me while I dig through this and get what I need " NOT happening. Blessings

Another excellent video great job

And thank you for adding a list

Wow...just found your channel. You have great and useful info my friend. Forewarned is forearmed...Unfortunately the way this country is heading..I am afraid that most people are gonna be lost...You are doing a good thing brother...keep it up! Most folk these days just don't care about their neighbors or anyone else ...just about themselves. Sad but true. Anyways...best wishes to you and your family. I will keep watching your channel....Semper Fi...!

I love the metal bowls from DT. All of my kits have one with a sink strainer added in. Also, in the toy aisle at DT you can usually find puzzles that are in a little metal tin. Could use the box for cotton ball/petroleum fire starters...it's a little larger than an altoids tin. I have Boba Fett and Spider-Man :-) Same in the baby aisle - little minnie mouse q-tip tin which is perfect for fishing hooks/weights/etc. I bought some little glasses cases that i put my hygiene stuff in one, PPE...earplugs/dust mask, and a fishing kit with. Plastic table cloths are useful as ground tarp/wind break/poncho to go with the plastic paint tarps you can find at DT and the real tarp from DG. Also both stores usually have solar yard lights....for light or to take the rechargeable battery pack out of. Honestly I have so much stuff from the dollar stores mixed in with our kits. Love your videos!

Found out our Dollar Tree 🌲 sells Flint steels and EDC Survival Cards for my budget survival kit. :)

Thank you for this good sir. You made an awesome vid.

This was really cool! Just as you said a lot of people do not have much money so this helps so much! Baby bug out bags!!! OMG that sounds awesome on to watch that video now! Great video loved it!

Really digging your channel.

just emailed this video to a couple people that say its too expensive to prep.

love these ds Bob

@9:21: "If you've got food, you can tide yourself over until you can find some water"? Nope. T'other way round! Fun video!

little ones and flashlights got to love it they killed my bag light to found out on a flat tire
