My dad insisted I hide $20 in my car in $1 and $5 bills + coins for tolls + pay phones. (20yrs ago $20=fill up!) 1st thing I did when I got to college was gas up. Many times I drove home with NOTHING in my wallet but my tank was full-thanks dad! Carry LONG jumper cables and a new 5 gl gas can for water or gas. Store w/cap off/loose. Family emergency forced me to leave at 12am once. Found out the cheap gas station (last one before on ramp) closed at 10pm! Full tanks people! Maps too!
Hi Doc, Yes I did watch the whole video. I saw what you had in the trunk and if you are contemplating putting all that bulk in that School bag you might want to reconsider. No issues with what you chose, but you might want to change some of the items for something lighter. OH, and one thing I DIDN'T see was a pistol of some sort. I know Missouri has changed their archaic laws on firearms ownership and Concealed carry so you might want to add something to your kit. Take care
Doc you forgot one really important item.......the Sherpa to carry that heavy load !!! Just kidding, but seriously you need to trim that weight down , WAY DOWN. If you are planning on staying by the car , great, but if you plan on doing any kind of walking with that gear you better be in Olympic shape...Rock On. Keep up the good work. Stonehombre Out !!
@Stonehombre1 You must not have watched the entire video. This large bag is to stay in the car. There is a smaller bag in the trunk as well that I can put the items I need to carry in if I have to hit the road on foot.
some good advice but Beef jerkey only lasts about 3 Months in ideal climates. do you rotate your food every 3 Months? And the trunk of a car gets pretty HOT in the summer. that beef jerkey and the canned food will not last long in the trunk of a car at summer time I suggest freeze dried food rather than canned and jerkey if you plan to store it in a cars trunk for more than a few weeks if its summer time. Just my thoughts on the subject. JKW
Do you carry a tarp? If you have to survive outside, it's good to have some shelter. Your rain poncho is OK too, but I'll recommend to keep a tarp. It's lightweight and it takes almost no space. Just a suggestion.
I love the idea of having a bucket/tub for holding water etc... I would have never thought of that, well I would have, but probably too late. Thanks for the vid!
@thenewsurvivalist that was my question. I have a 22 revolver in my backpack. I have the holster fixed to one of the front straps for in the event I have to use the bag, the pistol goes in front. I also have 200 rounds of ammo for it as well as 25 for a 410 and 20 for a 223 if I have a chance to grab either of those. Since I always have a gun in my truck, I don't need to put one in my vehicle bag (that I really need to work on...and soon). Thanks for the vids. Keep 'em coming.
Have you considered an Alcohol Stove? Alcohol is far more abundant and has multiple uses and stores very very well. Alcohol stoves like the Trangia models are much less bulky than that gizmo you show here. Also alcohol burns much much better in winter than butane.
@tripthelitefantastic I have many alcohol stoves, including sterno in my bug out bag. I have used the gizmo in my car bag many times, as my exclusive stove for months at a time. I produces a heck of a lot more heat than alcohol. It is bulky but this is my car bag so I don't have to back pack it. (Although I have backpacked this stove across Europe in a 2 month hitch-hiking tour of that continent, because the international camping gaz was the easiest source of fuel to find there.)
@thenewsurvivalist I have a Trangia model myself. I've used it Europe and South America. It was particularly beneficial for higher altitudes and colder weather. In fact it performed marvelously last Dec. in Sweden, north of the arctic circle. Keep in mind that more heat shouldn't be the only consideration when one chooses a stove. How much heat do you need to heat 2 cups of water to boil some noodles or beans? Again this is teotwawki survival, not a weekend camping trip. Cheers!
@wolfen26 You can buy this kind of equipment in any camping or backpacking store. I bought the stove in France when I was hitchhiking across Europe in 1979. At that time I couldn't find unleaded gas for the gasoline stove I purchased in the US so I needed one that burnt international camping gas (butane) that was available everywhere in Europe. Propane stoves (e.g., Coleman) are the most common stoves sold in the US.
Handgun ammo? Tent hammock with tarp,The cook stove can be replaced with hobo stove personal fan for air for fire (runs on 2 AA batteries walmart) and an alcohol stove lighter save space and alcohol can be used to keep fuel from freezing. Small solar panels to recharge AA batteries and a small radio.Tire repair kit to repair the tire on the rim air pump. Emergency vest to be spotted while walking on road. Get a cart for the bags so you can roll your things carrying gets old quick. Great video.
Good info. @leatherette a penny stove is good too especially since heet is widely available and easy to keep in the car in the winter. I always have some in my trunk because winters are very cold here too.
@PACER2320 shelter? car! This is my car bag not my bug out bag. I do have a tube tent which takes up very little space which I will consider putting in the car bag. But I can't put everything in it.
@Deeked I asked around about the food issue and for now am just sticking to meal replacement bars and dried soup packets. For a stove, I packed one that uses the fuel pellets. ;)
I live in a very cold climate during the winter months. Things I leave in the car will freeze in the winter months so cans are not a good idea ;) I am curious about the cooking tools though... will have to investigate what is out there and what can be left in the car during our hot and cold spells.

I would add some trash bags to your kit in case you need to use the bathroom and you can line the dish pan ?? Just an idea ?
