Mini Get Home Bag. Maxpedition Fatty Organizer. 

THIS is how a BOB video should be done. No rambling, repetitive talk about the items (most of which we already know about). Just a quick picture and subtitles with the name/brand so we can go buy it if we want. Perfect. Thanks.

Enjoyed the video. To all of the maxpedition organizer enthusiasts- you can slip zip ties through the small open slot where the stitching ends on the rim of the organizer. When the organizer is open, there’s one tiny slot near the bottom zipper pull. The other slot is on the right side top left corner. You simply fish the zip tie through each slot. Makes for more space. I have the micro, mini, EDC and fatty sized organizers. I use this method with a few various sizes of zip ties in all of my organizers. The larger ones you showed in your video fit perfect in the fatty. I have mini ones in the micro slots. Learned this from someone else on RU-vid years ago. Hope this comes in handy. Lots of great space saving, helpful and unique tricks out there! Cheers!

An excellent, well thought out kit. I especially like that filter. It looks another smaller than the mini Sawyer I keep in mine. Thanks

Such a peaceful EDC vid lol very nice

Nice work, NEP! Together with your pocket EDC it's a solid basic kit. Here are some thoughts from a fellow NYer...you've got 8 of the 10 Cs covered, only missing Compass and Canvas Needle. Here's a list of what's in my EDC kit, that rides in my work pack, too... Cutting one Victorinox Farmer-X (blade, scissor, saw, awl, can- and bottle openers) one minimalist 6" CRKT full tang fixed blade one Leatherman Squirt PS4 one 2-sided diamond hone, 400 and 600 grit, credit card size one chunk of stropping compound (to use with leather belt) Combustion one 7/16” X 6" ferrocerium rod, magnesium rod and striker one large BIC lighter in an Exotac sleeve 6 storm-proof matches, with strike pads 6 TinderQuick plugs 2 WetFire tabs one Fresnel lens 3” X 2” in sheath Cover one SOL HeatSheet two-person (5'X8') mylar sheet one SOL HeatSheet standard (5'X7') Container two #4 paper coffee filters two WhirlPak 1-liter plastic bags 20 AquaTab water purification tablets one Tortoise Gear 1-liter solar water purification bag one Aquamira Frontier water filter Cordage one 30' length of Type 1A paracord one 30' length of MIL-C 550 paracord, preconfigured as quick-deploy ridgeline 4 Prusik loops (Type 1A paracord, 1’ loop) one 30' length of HD nylon carpet thread Canvas Needle three assorted large sewing needles (all pre-threaded with 4' of HD carpet thread) Candling Device one Mini MagLite LED AAA flashlight one extra AAA battery in Delrin tube one Petzl E+ Lite headlamp two CR2032 lithium batteries in original package, trimmed Compass one Brunton compass Cargo Tape 10' Gorilla All-Weather tape (flat pack) Cotton Cloth one orange cotton bandanna 32"X32" 4 brass #3 safety pins (2”) Fishing Kit 375’ of Spiderwire 50 lb. test braided fishing line, on spool 10 assorted fish hooks, with crimp weights, swivels and leaders, pre-rigged one hook disgorger Signaling one UST StarFlash Micro signal mirror one Fox 30 Rescue Howler whistle 2 sheets Write In The Rain note paper 3” X 5” one Fisher Space Pen Stowaway one neon green or orange mini Sharpie one mini pencil Miscellaneous 10 assorted cable ties (2-12” / 2-10” / 2-8” / 4-6” 10 small screw eyes (¼” loop, 1” shank) six 10d common galvanized nails 50' of 24 gauge stainless steel wire, on spool one 18"X36" sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil Couple of notes: 1) the Frontier water filter only filters cysts (cryptosporidium, etc.) but not bacteria or viruses. The Aquamira tabs kill bacteria and viruses, but not cysts. Therefore, my strategy is to treat 1L with the tabs (30 mins), then drink the treated water through the filter. (remember that this is a "get home" strategy, not long-term) 2) the paper medical tape will be all but useless if it is covered with dust and debris. Put it in the case, or a plastic bag, to prevent that. Also, it typically doesn't stick well on wet and or cold skin. 3) Staying found is easier than getting found. Always keep a compass and a hard copy map of your area, no matter how well you think you know it. 4) I always carry a basic mini IFAK, as well as a trauma kit: 3M Cavilon No-Sting Barrier 1 3M Steri-Strip 4 BandAid Advanced Healing Blister Cushion - Heel 1 BandAid Advanced Healing Blister Cushion - Toe 1 BandAid Knuckle Wrap 1 BandAid w/ Neosporin - Large 2" x 4" 1 BandAid w/ Neosporin - Medium 1" x 3" 1 BandAid w/ Neosporin - Small 3/4" x 3" 1 BD Alcohol Swab 2 Benadryl 25 mg (2 tablets / packet) 1 Curad BloodStop Hemostatic Gauze 1" x 1" 1 Dramamine 1 Gauze Pad (J&J Hospital Grade) 2" x 2" 1 Hydrocortisone Cream (packet) 1 Imodium 2 mg (4 tablets / foil pack) 1 Laerdal Face Shield CPR Barrier 1 Mepilex Border Foam Dressing 1.6" x 2" 1 Mepilex Border Foam Dressing 3" x 3" 1 Nexcare Tegaderm Transparent Dressing 2-3/8" x 2-3/4" 1 3M Transpore Surgical Tape 1/2" x 96" 1 Triple Antibiotic Ointment (packet) 2 Tylenol 500 mg (2 tablets / packet) 2 1 dose of personal daily meds One CAT tourniquet One 6" Israeli bandage Two Hy-Fin chest seals One chest decompression needle Three 4" QuickClot sponge/pads Three standard tampons Three 4" x 4" gauze pads 3M Transpore Surgical Tape 1/2" x 96" Two pairs Nitrile gloves One N95 surgical mask The mini IFAK goes into a 3" X 6" aLokSak bag, and the trauma kit stores in its own pouch. Anyway, that's my EDC that's always in my work bag. I store a larger GHB in my trunk, with seasonal attire, adequate food and water to get me home on foot, a bit more shelter, some other contingency items and backups, etc. I try to work on a modular system, so that each component complements and enhances the level below. Check out Hill People Gear's "Equipage Taxonomy" article for a great discussion of this idea. Good luck to you, Sir! Keep on the sunny side of the street, and keep on keepin' on!

Great video. Showing the gear up close is nice.

Yes your back !!!! love the kit mate

My biggest problem with attempts to improve my GHB is compactness and weight. I got some ideas from this video on how to organize better and shed weight. Thanks

Realy nice, realy mini Thanks för sharing

Great Vid as always. Its tye substanxe that matters and you inspire me to thinl for my own stuff as well

Good review. Love the guitar music!

Very thorough. Nicely done. I would add a Silcock key and cash in small denominations.

Great video!! Very nice choice of contents.

Good kit! You have to be able to prevent or fix the blisters you’ll have by 10 miles of walking. Though you have a wallet, you should have a dedicated emergency cash in this kit. Trail mix, jerky and a packet of Emergen-C drink mix will give you a boost for the 20 mile walk home. Also add body/hand warmer for the rough weather.

very cool video. I recommend changing out the aquamira filter to a 0.1 micron filter. One you can use is called the hydroblu That spelt Blu and not blue. good job!

For a 20 mile walk that's about perfect. The only things that may help on a long walk would be Moleskin for blisters. I may add some hard candy or a cliff bar or some sort of food bar for energy. JHMO, GREAT video though!

Love your videos

great kit. Thanks for sharing

Not bad. Just some observations you may or may not care for. Fire: Maybe put a rubber band around the lighter to keep the button from being pressed accidentally in the kit losing fuel. Remove the child safety from the lighter so it's easier to use in the cold. Maybe add a micro ferro rod. Ditch the dental pads for the procamptek for same size, or melt some Vaseline and dip them partially in it. Change your matches to stormproof or dip them in melted wax to give them water resistance. Booboo kit: Ditch most of the bandaid for luko tape and moleskin. Add heavier duty safety pin. For the light and battery I use energizer ultimate lithium. They seem to be the best and least effected by cold. Thoughts on adding the following: Kevlar thread Small section of a hacksaw blade Micro signal mirror Button compass (general direction) Maybe make a "Survival/sere" patch and use in place of morale patch. I'd probably ditch the multitool since you'll have one on you. Good vid.

Interesting and informative content

Nice kit my dude

I'd add: a slim recharging battery for the phone; a written list of pertinent phone numbers and addresses for Police, Fire, Hospital, Taxi, Friends, AAA, etc; a separate wad of cash in bills of each denomination. , a few dollars in coins. I might even carry a separate, pre-paid credit card with some money in the account. Maybe a compass.

Not a bad kit. Only possible shortfall I can see is .some sort of compass. Even the simple button type? Even in my local urban setting it’s easy to get momentarily turned around. Imagine it’s night or foggy in a blackout, either a local outage or some kind of EMP event? .

I think I would add a straw with dish soap sealed inside. And hopefully you carry an extra pair of socks in your briefcase. Must take care of your feet. And snacks, of course.

Nice!

Do you have a video of how you made the paracord bracelet?

I would add a button compass maybe a small battery bank and 55 gallon drum liner instead of the poncho

It's not MOLLE, it's PALS. Molle has the attatchment strap and webbing loops or ladders attatched PALS or Pouch Attatchment Ladder System only has the webbing loop ladders, you must supply your own attatchment method. A minor but important detail when considering your pouch choice. Also, you should always use lithium batteries in led flashlights, especially high output ones for optimal performance. I find that a 5" or 5 1/2" pair of hemostats and a small sewing kit with a sail needle and eiher braided fishing line or 50# kevlar line is a useful addition

Nice kit. Just a few observations. Between the EDC stuff and the kit, you've got 2 multi-tools , a swiss army knife , and a pocket knife. That seems like a bit much. Keeping in mind you're going 20 miles on this kit, I'm not sure you'd need anything but the pocket knife. You've got a lot of fire making stuff. I get the need for fire but 20 miles is less than 24 hours and if you need to build a fire at all, you'll only need to do it once. I'm assuming you may need a fire for heat if you need to overnight it but I'd get some good storm matches (UCO), presoak the cotton tinder in melted vaseline and call it good. I'd dump the water filter since you have aquatabs , keep a good sturdy water bottle close by, and pack a couple of coffee filters for filtering water before you treat it. As someone else here suggested, a sillcock key (Amazon $6) will turn on water spigots on businesses that don't normally have handles, which is where your water bottle comes in handy. The water bag is good in theory but once you fill it, it's hard to carry and harder to drink out of. I'm not sure what you'd be using the gorilla tape, paracord, and zip ties for unless you plan on building some kind of shelter out of the space blanket. Some kind of calories, especially in the cold, would be a good idea. Some hard candies and a couple of millenium bars will go a long way and don't take up much space. Just some things to think about now that I've written a book in the comments, lol.

Good kit..get a small compass or put a compass app on your phone. I have both so I can do a double check..bandanas are good to carry too..too many uses

Saw a video that you can boil water in an oven bag. It would fit inside your whirlpak.

Great kit! Love that most of the 10c’s are covered, though you mentioned in the comments that you don’t really need a compass and a canvas sail needle isn’t really necessary for this kit layout. Have you needed to use it yet, and if so, how well has it fared? Just curious……… thanks for sharing!!

Cash, small ration bar(s) like Tigers Milk, meds, mini powerbank. My question is, if thats ALL you can grab, how are you going to carry it?

Should carry some snacks or some food. Pretty cool 😎

Add char cloth and couple sticks of fat wood. You have the means to start a fire but nothing to set it off. Thx for sharing

Mine has medical supplies like blood stopper powder.. water purification and a water bag to carry water it has of course fire starting and small Ferro rod and mini bic .. it has a lightweight poncho and a mylar blanket all packed in a small kit that's actually smaller than the one that this video uses

I added a flashlight that uses cr123a's batts. They last a very long time, are brighter, and easier to store without fear of leakage.

Has anyone worn one while driving? Was it uncomfortable?

Nice bag! But take the safety off of that Bic lighter!!!

Pepper spray .

What are some use cases for the aluminum foil?
