@christophertarango398 Год назад

Gotta be careful with immodium though. If you have something infectious that’s causing diarrhea, you don’t want to stop your body from expelling it. Better instead to pack high-quality electrolytes to replace what you lose with the diarrhea.

@nunyabidness1972 Год назад

On the subject of changing your bag with the seasons, I've came up with a better system for myself. I keep all the "year-round essentials" in the backpack itself. I then bought two cheap gym bags- one blue, the other red. I put warm weather socks, clothes, underwear, etc. in the red bag. Insulated clothing, butane stove, SOL bivy bag, etc. in the blue "cold weather" bag. Both bags and some broken-in hiking boots stay in the trunk with the backpack year-round. In the event I'm forced to walk, I can stuff whichever bag I'm going to need into the backpack, grab my shoes, and be walking away in under a minute. Before I started doing this, we would usually be about two months into cold weather before I even thought about redoing my pack for the seasonal change. Now its ready year-round!

@PlayingWithFireOutdoors Год назад

Smart way. I do kind of the same thing. As I own a Trailblazer Space isn't an issue.

@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 Год назад

I solved that issue by just setting up three separate packs: 1 summer; 1 winter; 1 spring/fall.

Something that I keep in my go bag is a cheap 10x monocular so I can observe at distance also while keeping a low profile bag, I keep a piece of camo burlap that can cover my bag so it can be better hidden if I need to stash it or if I'm trying to conceal myself.

@jonathanrogers9961 Год назад

Additions I would make. for the dry bag I would add a pair of wind breaker pants, or thermal pants and an extra pair of socks. If your cold or get your socks wet the extra pair are great. In relation to food, I would add instant coffee packs. For gear I would add a cheap stainless cup that fits on my nalgene bottle and an esbit stove to boil water and or make coffee. And perhaps a poncho and liner.

Studied it for 2 years , lived it for 4. Concerning your " puff jacket".... 1) there is no synthetic fiber that can equal natural fibers for a)warmth b) compression A Sweater in place of your puff jacket would compress to approximately 1/3 the space along with being very , very many times warmer. You've got your wind/water proof outer shell. An Angora rabbit hair sweater or an Alpaca sweater (not sheep's wool) will keep you luxuriously warm. Alpaca and Angora is hydrophobic (won't absorb water) and it's also moisture wicking. Make sure your sweater has buttons , and buttons all the way to the neck. An overnight temperature drop of even 15 to 20 degrees can seem cold. Rain falling from colder upper levels can chill you. A natural fiber sweater will serve you much better than the polyester jacket. They say luck is what you have remaining when preparedness meets necessity. Bon Chance

One product not mentioned, but worth a shout-out, is Mainstay 3600. It's basically a big block of compressed nuts etc. segmented into 9 parts, flavored lemon. In its vacuum pack it lasts for many years (I accidentally left one in the back of my truck in NorCal for 9 years where it alternately got cooked in summer and frozen up at Tahoe each winter) and when I found it, as an experiment I broke it open to see how bad it was compared to one I'd bought a month previously. There was no way to tell the difference between the month-old product (which according to the date stamp was good for 4 years 8 months ahead) and the long-expired product. So I keep a block in my bergen, in my go-bag, and in each of my vehicles. As the name implies, it serves up 3600 calories total and doesn't need to be rehydrated, heated, or anything else. You can store it in a ziplock bag so that once the vacuum pack is open, it's still protected while you eat it on the go. And no, I don't have any affiliation with the manufacturers!

Look into a " Woodsman's Pal" it's a light weight hatchet,shovel, edged weapon can be used as a BREACHING TOOL too. A single barrel cut down 18.5 inch, break down shot gun with various available rifled bullet inserts like .22 cal.,9mm,.38 spec., 45ACP or .45 LC. A Leatherman with some snare wire & a SS canteen cup for cooking along with the GI type canteen combo.

@serpents666 Год назад

A good rule of thumb among hikers is to get your gear first and then your backpack. Lets you avoid getting something too big or too small. If you settle on a more tactical looking bag there are rain covers you can pull over the pack to make it look less conspicuous, and you can get them in different colors. They make access a bit more difficult but if you need to get to something in a split second you probably shouldn't be carrying it on your back anyway. There are also food rations like NRG5, ca. 1lb, 2500 calories, 20 years of shelf life, some love them, others hate them but they'll keep you alive.

@HAYAOLEONE Год назад

A 'civilian' pack + a DIY camo/3D camo cover combo will work better I think. Honey is like super sugar, but not always violent sugar if used with other stuff. It's cheap and last long.

@Followme556 Год назад

I can certainly see using a non-military looking bag, but I would go with an Earth Tone color so that it doesn't stick out so much either. A biege or brown is a good middle ground. Good vid Coch.

@robertcwillifordii2630 Год назад

The best thing to do with flashlights is to cut out little plastic circles to place between the batteries and their connections, to keep them from draining. The loosened connection could still drain your battery. Cutting out fast food soda cup lids with the raised dots on top work well to top a battery with. I've found that making the circles just a little bit smaller than the battery tube opening works best to keep them in place during assembly. A plastic tab at both ends will guarantee you battery stays fresh while in storage. Simply remove the tabs (keep them) before using the flashlight. Easy peasy. Negligible weight. Space saver. Anti-corrosive, insulating storage. Reusable.

When it comes to the water aspect, especially in a bug out situation, you don’t want to carry heavy ass water. You probably don’t want to give your position away either by starting a fire to boil water… GET A LIFESTRAW! 🇺🇸💪🏼

@StarDarkAshes Год назад

One thing I noticed in the clothing department that probably should be there is a pair of socks. An extra pair of socks is great if you either sweat, like crazy into your socks, or they get wet. Somehow, I always carry an extra pair of socks in my bag.

@pennsyltuckyreb9800 Год назад

Well...here in rural, Northern Appalachia, you kind of need to pack "the kitchen sink", especially for a winter scenario on foot. My winter pack is around the 40-50lb mark (this is including the water weight). I'd say 50lbs is the absolute max anyone should haul in a proper, load-bearing pack. Obviously if you can get away with lighter, go as light as possible.

@_JEBUS Год назад

Also keep your vehicle prepared for any given scenario. Get a bugout truck, It will take you as far as it can go especially if it's a 4x4. Keep a good jack and spare tire. A basic tool bag. You can put together a very nice and useful kit for cheap from harbor freight. A mechanics tool set. If you never have to bug out at least you'll have everything you need to help someone get back on the road if they had a blowout which is common in rural areas.

Another trick I picked up from a friend since I'd be trying to get out of the city is to pick up one of those water spigot keys that open the external spigots on commercial buildings. If there's clean water left it'll be in those lines. You can siphon off what the building has left if you have the key for those spigots.

Great video and bugoutbag!!! I was born and raised in San Diego. Now that I live in Kansas, my bugout bag has changed. I do have a spare change of clothes and hygiene kit in my bugout bag because Kansas is more spread out, and resources are harder to come by, so I do pack more. Plus, being in a farming/hunting state military bags are more acceptable and doesn't stand out as much. But like you said, we have to prepare for our environment and circumstances.

@deroesch Год назад

Love this. I have two 72-hour bags in my car at all times. One for me and one for my wife. Another recommendation: dump the whole bag once or twice a year to freshen up the food, batteries, medications. Cycle everything on and off and make sure it all still works. We’ve almost been socked-in by surprise fog on the Blue Ridge once or twice, up high, at night, and it’s great to have that gear to keep you comfortable overnight. Even in the car.

You want to do so with as little problem as possible, you are in a SERE situation. Stay to the shadows, avoid crowds of people at all possible.

@TheCyberRebel 10 месяцев назад

After actively prepping for 30 years, and testing my preps, I've come to the conclusion that unless you're using your bug out bag to get you to a predetermined safe house, it's a fool's endeavor. Watch the reality series "alone". Then add 10,000 other people going after the same resources. I live alone, off-grid, in the Alaskan bush full time. I'm prepped for two years+. If I had to live in the city, I'd have a very basic day pack that's no more than 20 lbs. I'd have food caches hidden on the route to my cabin, so I can move quickly. If I'm mugged along the way, I just need to make it to my next cache. A 22 is my weapon of choice. It's lightweight, quiet if you're using subsonic rounds, and you can carry 500 rounds very easily. I'd be the gray man, with a trench coat with fresh dog crap smeared on it. If I'm confronted, I'd beg for food. People don't realize that once ROL is lost, everyone becomes a predator, and you are the prey. Carrying a big pack makes you a target. Carrying a badass assault rifle won't scare anyone. You won't even hear the shot that takes you out because someone wants that rifle. Don't plan to hunt for your meals. That gun shot will be like ringing the dinner bell to 10,000 starving people. That's if you can even find anything to shoot at. It's time people look at prepping within reality. You're not alone and as badass as you think you are, out there you're nothing but a mouse. So be fast, quiet, and stealthy as a mouse. Have a hidden place that is difficult to get to that holds your food, clothes, wall tent, and any other supplies you need to survive a year. After a year, most people will be dead, and you can slowly go back into society to look for resources. NOTE: your most valuable prepping tool is "GOD".

Maybe I missed it internet but I always put a tiny little thermal blanket one of those silver ones in as well as I try to get some antibiotics in there as well a set of extra socks and a few plastic grocery bags. Its no fun having wet feet so you can switch socks and put a plastic bag over it and tie it around your ankle using the handles so it doesn't slide down. This way even if you have some soaking wet shoes your feet are dry and warm !

Realistically my main concerns are civil unrest, Fires, and earthquakes. I keep a pair of cross trainers in my trunk so if I need to get home on foot I’m comfortable. I also keep three water bottles with me at all times. Two in the car (filled) and one with me in the office. What ai don’t drink through out the day I use to water the plants and refill immediately. I’ve also started keeping an entire set of cloths that are more comfortable and practical tightly packed in my trunk. I’d need to walk between 20-30 miles to get home so I’d like to be moderately comfortable. One issue that’s been raised since the most recent “mostly peaceful protests” Is the idea of a bump helmet. Not very gray man, but one brick to the head can ruin your day. Thoughts?

I would suggest using a single walled aluminum water bottle if you are going to store this bag in a car. Heat tends to leech out the plastics in the bottle. Plus if you have to warm frozen water you can. In warm climates I would suggest BPA free like Nalgene Edit: you pulled out a Nalgene Edit2: I bought a Grayl Geopress water filter bottle that I bought to keep in my vehicle. There are also gravity collapsible water filtration units.

@folksurvival 9 месяцев назад

Stainless steel. Never use aluminum or other toxic metals for water or food.

@sequoiareign7646 8 месяцев назад

Single walled Titanium is best, second to that is stainless. Titanium is stronger and lighter than stainless, main con, it's the most expensive. Both stainless and Titanium are SAFE to boil water in. Never use plastic. Watch out for lined aluminum don't buy that crap. NEVER boil in aluminum either, you can leech chemicals in your water and end up getting aluminum toxicity. You can get double walled stainless/Titanium for extreme Temps. But never boil water in a double walled canteen. Camel paks (or something similar) work best in extreme heat, and water can keep for weeks.

Thank you Coch for the solid info!

@crakkbone8473 Год назад

I just bought a new bag, I’m excited to hear from Coch as to what to pack

@jackripper6033 Год назад

I wouldn’t pack anything. Because things will never get so bad that you’re gonna have to quit your job and run off into the woods bro.

@Lukas-mu2tw Год назад

@Jack Ripper you may be right or you may be wrong. There’s no issue with preparing just in case

What a great and straightforward video about getting a go bag together. Been thinking about getting something together for awhile now definitely enjoyed watching.

@ct4310 Год назад

What a great video! I've just started to think about putting one of these bags together and this video explains everything so logically, I feel confident now about making the right choices of what to put inside the bag and tweaking it according to the seasons. Thanks 👍

@Tuffdaddy1958 Год назад

Thanks for the information.Things I haven’t thought of,this will help.👍

Beautifully non-specific to get folks to think for themselves. Great teaching! Here are the principles, ymmv! 👍🤙

@nikolateoembeaireuhigrec4239 Год назад

Thx for the video. Instructive, it's always good to see how someone with your background build his pack

@mikereese15 Год назад

Great stuff Coch. Very detailed and thorough and very relevant to todays world.

@johnallen7098 Год назад

I'm in the AV next to the Mojave desert, this is super helpful. Thanks coch and your knowledge and thanks for your service.

@csluau5913 Год назад

Always good to go back and look at these videos to remind myself what I do have, what I don’t have, what I need to check on or update, and what I need to change out depending on the season. Recent events plus crazy ass weather mean that I have to be a little flexible and sometimes it’s easier to just have a different bag for each season, or have a few tools and things that can be adapted to crossover from season to season. I’m a big believer in tools and supplies that are multi use and multi season

@briangrant2005 Год назад

Coch! Excellent video! Gave me a few more items to think about! Thanks again, SEAL Dad!

From a hikers perspective.. you could add a second pair of socks , foot powder. I’d also suggest a sawyer squeeze it’s compact and no bad after taste. Keep the tablets as a last resort.

Great info, I like to have at least one small disposable water bottle, poke a hole in the top and you have wound irrigation or hand wash because you can apply pressure. Used it many times.

@ianwebber1142 Год назад

really appreciate how you try to keep kids/picky eaters in mind, good on you sir!

Thank you Mark for this guide.

@ptortland Год назад

Superb video. I really appreciate the clear, concise, no-nonsense step-by-step review of things to CONSIDER putting in your SHTF bag. I say "consider" because, as you so appropriately articulate, there's no One Size Fits All when it comes to bug out bags. Some of the things you mention I would never even have thought of, such as the Immodium! Well done!!

@sembutininverse Год назад

thank you, great video 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@cliffkirby8570 Год назад

Good info thanks, I've been putting together an emergency bag and I like the idea of the breaching tool.

@shorty7943 Год назад

Nice, straight to the point, no bullshit, no craziness. I did not expect that. Very good channel. Thanks and best regards from Germany :)

His style is very cool and down to earth. One of my favorite preparedness guys.

@larrybell4599 Год назад

Great video! I like that you tell not just what, but why.

@paemtff9412 Год назад

Thank You for this informative video. I have similar contents in my kit however up until watching, I didn’t have a “breaching tool” and after your idea/suggestion, realized I’m definitely lacking and will be adding one. For any First Responder/Military, there are discounts available from many companies…. Glock Blue Label, Gerber Pro, Leatherman, etc. Saving a few $$ means you can afford more gear to protect yourself & others therefore it’s a win for everyone. Thanks Again.

@marsoelflaco5722 Год назад

A very sound and down to Earth assessment. ✌🏽

@richardlane1018 Год назад

First timer watching your video, loved the fact that you didn't commit to certain ideas like others do. I really enjoyed that you stressed fixing the bag to your needs depending on your environment. I will certainly be looking for you again.

@jasonbennett9995 Год назад

Thanks I appreciate how straight forward your instructions are God bless from Canada eh! Respect brother

@danahowerton9638 Год назад

Wow the pry bar now that is something new and made some good points about it awesome! That's a new piece for me

@disgruntledleafsheep2747 Год назад

I use the propel water mixes. They come in different flavors and are really good sealed individual little packages. Take up very little space. They are small but strong flavored and also include some vitamins. They cover the bitter taste of the water purification tablets very well. I haven't had to depend on doing it yet thankfully, but I did taste test it. Tasted pretty good. Awesome you mentioned the map. Thought I was alone. Happy to see some one else who agrees, never had a paper map lie to me
