I totally agree on dropping the "Johnny Tactical" look. I love the military style bags and the do take abuse well but the modern backpacking gear seems more adaptable. Thanks for the video and the inspiration. Cheers.
Dude your 1st BOB was way better. Should there be enough panic where it's needed to BO you'll want to get away from urban areas immediately. You shouldn't be near an urban area in most BO situations. Urban areas will have hoardes of desperate people, who will kill you and take your shit. Entering urban areas will parish you. That said you'll want to look intimidating in case someone comes to your camp, and dressing tactically gives the impression that you have the know how to protect yourself.
@gwynn1975 I didn't think of that. Would've been nice to have awhile back before I broke the tip off my Kershaw Blur.
And I hate to say it, after reading some other previous comments but I do think a few more mags is a good idea. Not so much for "seek and destroy". But more because if you are forced into a fire fight the extra ammo could come in handy. That's just my opinion though. :) looking forward to your next video man.
The only things that i could suggest you add is - Wax nylon coated dental floss, it is mega strong and can help with all sorts - also a needle and thread, useful for repairing torn clothing or if needed to stitch a wound - lastly i would carry a better standard of medical equipment, reasons being you might stumble across someone else that needs aid or even your immediate family needs better treatment.
I would consider boredom in the wilderness a good thing; it means you're not hungry and safe. Quite a few other things in the wild would enjoy killing you though.
i bet you cant smoke on a submarine anymore bc these fuckers gotta be all "concerned" about others these days but its still cool for the gov to murder little brown kids in southamerica so pepsi can build a stupid bottling plant down there, but second hand smoke, "why thats just inhumane"..stupid
Good call on the Bic lighter. Spent 10 years on submarines. Oxygen in the atmosphere @ sea level is around 20%. We would sometimes get down to 16% on mission & have trouble maintaining & the only cigarette lighters that would light in those conditions was a Bic.
Yo i think i got a good suggestion for the bag,....Vodka, i was reading that it makes a good antiseptic for cuts, and can be used as mouth wash, i can help foot odor, numb a sore tooth, clean glasses. prolongs the life of razors, theres alot of uses for it besides just recreational ones, i know ive been buggin you about ammo but i think im on to something with the vodka let me know what you think.
Okay so i admit it's a pretty well rounded and complete survival kit, but in a WW3 situation what the heck are you gunna do when you use up youre one and only spare magazine for the AR and the only spare you have for the 9 milli? cower and die, or go deer hunting with a spear and the swiss army knife? I kid, but for real where you gunna find more ammo if theres no more gun stores? food u can catch one way or another, but i highly doubt you carry stuff to produce more bullets
@chupacabras0905 If you honestly think you need a bunch of ammo to fight off hoards of people, then good luck to you. I'd love to see how long you can last by yourself against 3 people or more. Good luck.
The idea of bugging out for me is to go into hiding, not stand and fight. The few people that find me, will offer enough guns and ammo for me to resupply
@gwynn1975 Oh i see, i meant no disrespect i like all your videos, i was just curious, i mean its not necesarily to fight off "hoards" of people, but if its ww3 or something it could last for years, and its not just fighting but hunting small game, a squirell makes a fine meal but aint to filling, not everyone you encounter is gunna have rounds for your AR. and 3 on 1, no problem i served 6 months in iraq until i got hit in the thight with shrapnel, but i still have experience
brilliant video, im in the uk,ive been thinking about making a bag up for a while, im gona sort one out now.the only thing i prob wont put in would be a gun as we aint allowed to carry them over here, although people do. its something im gona have to consider at some point when putting the bag together or i mite hide one close by and have it within spitting distance in an emergency last resort.
I was taught and now I teach the KISS method to survival, KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) if you have 30 lights you are carrying to much weight same with the knifes, carry a multi tool and a fix blade thats it. The rest of your stuff is good but you have to remember, comfort = pounds: pounds = pain
5 knives 4 lights 16 bandanas/scarfs.... luxuries up the ass but only one extra mag. for each weapon.....5 bucks says you can survive with half that nonsense, but you never not have enough ammo........
@crf450rvta True that !, you need more ammo on your person, that A-R probably shoots an ass-load of bullets per minute when squeezing that trigger, and this fools got one extra mag that probably only holds like 20 rounds, bad idea
Gwynn, just read "Survivors" By Rawles.. Great read. And this video is incredible. Great job. I'm about to duplicate your bag. Keep up the great work!
hay there Gwynn, you make really nice video's but i have a question... (or two)
- who are you planning to run from,
- when and for
- how long? [ police & military have heat seeking device ranging 5 miles to detect you.]
- why carry so much double stuff? when (besides clothing) all you need is a small axe, fire steel, and cookpot... (okay... a knive and snire wire helps too :) thank you and greetings from holland.
@gwynn1975 Might I suggest switching one of your bandana's with a shemaugh, great accessory to have. They are a very multi-functional item: towel/hand cloth, head wrap, scarf, and it's very light weight. Great BoB, loving it!!!
Near the end, with the black sweatshirt, it really hides your pouches and M+P very well, excellent casual concealment, even if you just had to run into a 7-11 store to get a drink.
For your gun cleaning kit - how about a small bottle of liquid Breakfree CLP (cleaner, lube, protectant). I just bought a bottle, i want to make a portable cleaning kit too, you can use it for cleaning the bore, slide, rails, etc. and it comes in a spray, 4 oz. liquid and even a mini 2 oz liquid (saw it at the gun shop). These are excellent vids by the way, you have really put a lot of thought into all this.
Another cool stove item is an Emberlit stove - it is 5 pieces, stainless steel, you put it together, kind of like a rocket stove, then you just use sticks/etc. as the fuel. I haven't tested it yet, but it could be backup or to conserve the butane?
Instead of risking throwing away a descent weapon, why not carry a disguised single shot shotgun walking stick, doesn't make you look tactical and doubles as a walking stick.
@MrMyNameIsBrandon It's really hard to say, because I've been collecting this stuff for quite awhile and some of it has been given to me as gifts. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but I would say around $200
I'd guess more like $400 by the time all the pouches, stoves, sleeping, utensils, knives, etc. are added, or perhaps $500. But once you have the items, you have them, so in the long term it is not really that much, a step at a time.
Nice video! I personally bring more clothing (A fleese that will keep you warm when wet, rain jacket etc...) and a real tent with a sleeping bag and a air mattress to sleep on. I have froze my a-- off too many times. I think they are well worth the weight.
I have a bit of suggestions. You should put in a large survival knife i.e. Becker bk9, kabar heavy bowie, rtak 2 inside your pack or attatched to the outside. Another is a pack of smokes. An addict will trade really good items for a cigarette. Another is some heat packs. It can get cold.
I always take a small bag with travel sized toiletries. Liquid soap, toothpaste/brush, alcohol based hand sanitizer (also use for fire acceleration), small baby wipes. Personal hygiene (or lack of) can have a great impact on mental fitness!
You have a good thing going from what I see. It seems you have alot of emphasis on defence. I get that, I do similar. However it seems you lack in a very big way medical supplies and water storage. Water will be critical. Medical could be just as critical. A decent cut that normally wouldnt be a huge issue, during disaster could kill you (think staff) As far as the cooking ect. Once its life has been used up it wont be anything to dump it.
heres a few suggestions for your BOB: a small wind up radio that doesnt need batteries (so you can listen to govt propoganda saying everything is fine hehe) Also get some balloons. youtube search this, "balloon bb gun" you can make a pretty poweful bb gun out of them to hunt small games (saves your reg ammo and you literrally carry hundreds of balloons which dont take up space) also get you a dirty magazine. your gonna bug out so your gonna wanna see a hot girl every now and then lol
@DellDude Thanks brother.. I think that's a great idea. I usually have a small bottle of soap from REI, but I always forget to put it in the BOB. Thanks
To redundant with a lot of gear. Your probably carrying five pounds of the same stuff over and over again that you could use for other important stuff like more then one spare mag for the AR. I don't want it to sound like I'm just bitching here cause I loved your first bug out bag! But I do think that you went way off the mark changing everything like you did. I see why you changed the bag but I think you had the gear nailed in your first setup. Don't want you to kick it cause of lack of gear.
@MICHAELPITBULLGYLES I have never had to use it thank goodness. It's the only one that I have found commercially that is available in a lot of places. I figures, something is better than nothing. It is made by Cohglans. Thanks for watching
@futurerngr10 I bought it from Sportsman's Guide. I think it is Italian. It was a deal where you buy 2 for like $17. I gave the other one to my dad. Thanks for watching
Nice 2 videos from the change up. Good idea of the bag change up. I too have thought of that but I haven't decided to change my bag yet. I am still using a camo external frame bag by Thompson Center.
@SenseiTucker Thank you Sensei.. I'm still in the testing phase, and so far, I like this one better than the Assault Pack style.. I've got a couple others to try out, and I want to try an external frame soon.. Thanks for watching and commenting.. Take care
very good vid, was entertaining and informative. you seem to combine effectiveness and subtleness harmoniously. i love to get out and go hiking on occasion, and alot of the gear and tactics you portrayed in this video were very helpful to me.
this 2.0 is much better then your original. I know a BOB is supposed to be about planning ahead, but all the preperation and you still wont know how long you may be bugged out. In my bag I have less battery dependant devices, like only one flashlight, but also an isreali candle. It also might be worth investing in a MSR miniworks water filter... its less time consuming... Still, im sure with what you have, you would have no trouble surviving... great vid, brother.
This is what I am doing in the next week or so. Thank you so much for this invaluable information! I need to get this kit compiled and this video has just been my inspiration! I hope to post a video response when I have it all done. I am very glad I found you on here. I saw you through The Tactical defender.
Great vid gwynn! One note on your spices is that you may want to change your sea salt to an iodized salt just for health reasons. Just a thought, keep up the great work!
@BACKWOODSBLISS The sleeping bag stays in my Jeep. I have one of the older military mummy bags.. Too big to go into my pack, but that's why I carry the bivy bag and reflective blanket.. thanks for watching
Excellent Vid Trevor...just a suggestion i would personally add a deck of cards and some mole skin for your feet!!! u only have that one set bro!!! oh and the spice idea was genius!!!!!!!
@gwynn1975 $20.12 is my last offer on the Vulture bag...lol. Seriously though you gave up on the vulture bag due to it's color?
Alot of my stuff is OD green and has never caused an raised eyebrow on the hiking trails , plus any maxpedition packs I have outlasted any camping/hiking bag which tend to be thinner nylon.
I had to evacuate my neighborhood once due to a gas line break & once due to a railcar spill of benzene. Neither time did anyone ever look at my bag. Just my thoughts.
@nosaj03 The pack came in right around 33 pounds. My AR is pretty hefty with the Magpul UBR stock, but I haven't weighed it yet.. I'll go do that soon.. Thanks for watching
Nice setup Trevor. Whats the total weight of your gear? When you strap on your pouches does your pack integrate well with them over cover them up making it difficult to access and uncomfortable? When I wear gear on my belt line and put a waist strap from my pack on it does the above.
@CdnLifeguard71 The pack came in at 33 lbs.. the backpack rides high enough that I can still access my pouches and pistol easily.. Thanks for watching my friend
great vid man! and good bare bones approach ive been stressin to ppl in the past about blending in i.e. not looking like a blackwater contractor walking through downtown, now i see more ppl thinking about being defensive instead of offensive, i rock a north face solaris 40 for the natural disasters and for shtf i rock a camelbak bfm 500 both are great bags and have their purposes...peace.
Hey, if you don't mind me asking, What do you think of the Icon Link? Been eyeing it on EDC site for a while now. Looks like a natural pick for BOB bags.
you have some quality gear there, id add a little more water as you need water more than food, bare minimum and i mean just enough to get by is 1 liter a day. water/food should make up most of weight as both items are greatly needed and will be consumed which will lighten up your pack.
when i go on 3-4 day hunting trips my pack is a good 55-70lbs.
@cbr6864 I'm guessing you didn't watch the whole video.. The toilet paper was with the Ranger Handbook, and as far as water goes, the water bottle is a Filter in itself.. (All the water I want) I bug out to places with water.. I'll be fine as long as the water source doesn't get compromised
i would like to know more about that overcoat thing

@futurerngr10 I bought it from Sportsman's Guide. I think it is Italian. It was a deal where you buy 2 for like $17. I gave the other one to my dad. Thanks for watching

Nice 2 videos from the change up. Good idea of the bag change up. I too have thought of that but I haven't decided to change my bag yet. I am still using a camo external frame bag by Thompson Center.

@SenseiTucker Thank you Sensei.. I'm still in the testing phase, and so far, I like this one better than the Assault Pack style.. I've got a couple others to try out, and I want to try an external frame soon.. Thanks for watching and commenting.. Take care

very good vid, was entertaining and informative. you seem to combine effectiveness and subtleness harmoniously. i love to get out and go hiking on occasion, and alot of the gear and tactics you portrayed in this video were very helpful to me.

this 2.0 is much better then your original. I know a BOB is supposed to be about planning ahead, but all the preperation and you still wont know how long you may be bugged out. In my bag I have less battery dependant devices, like only one flashlight, but also an isreali candle. It also might be worth investing in a MSR miniworks water filter... its less time consuming... Still, im sure with what you have, you would have no trouble surviving... great vid, brother.

This is what I am doing in the next week or so. Thank you so much for this invaluable information! I need to get this kit compiled and this video has just been my inspiration! I hope to post a video response when I have it all done. I am very glad I found you on here. I saw you through The Tactical defender.
Here is to living right!

Great vid Trevor! I was wondering about the tin and the spice containers and were did you get them? Thanks, bbryder17

@bbryder17 My mom actually got those from a Whole Foods store here in Spokane. It was a stocking stuffer gift for Christmas.

Great vid gwynn! One note on your spices is that you may want to change your sea salt to an iodized salt just for health reasons. Just a thought, keep up the great work!

gwynn1975 1 year ago
@gwynn1975 $20.12 is my last offer on the Vulture bag...lol. Seriously though you gave up on the vulture bag due to it's color?
Alot of my stuff is OD green and has never caused an raised eyebrow on the hiking trails , plus any maxpedition packs I have outlasted any camping/hiking bag which tend to be thinner nylon.
I had to evacuate my neighborhood once due to a gas line break & once due to a railcar spill of benzene. Neither time did anyone ever look at my bag. Just my thoughts.
tuxinduluth 1 year ago
@tuxinduluth hmm.. .12 cent increase.. I think I'll pass.. LOL
I didn't give up on the Vulture.. I just don't want it as a BOB.. I still use it for hiking and overnighters

@nosaj03 The pack came in right around 33 pounds. My AR is pretty hefty with the Magpul UBR stock, but I haven't weighed it yet.. I'll go do that soon.. Thanks for watching
gwynn1975 1 year ago
Nice setup Trevor. Whats the total weight of your gear? When you strap on your pouches does your pack integrate well with them over cover them up making it difficult to access and uncomfortable? When I wear gear on my belt line and put a waist strap from my pack on it does the above.
CdnLifeguard71 1 year ago
@CdnLifeguard71 The pack came in at 33 lbs.. the backpack rides high enough that I can still access my pouches and pistol easily.. Thanks for watching my friend

great vid man! and good bare bones approach ive been stressin to ppl in the past about blending in i.e. not looking like a blackwater contractor walking through downtown, now i see more ppl thinking about being defensive instead of offensive, i rock a north face solaris 40 for the natural disasters and for shtf i rock a camelbak bfm 500 both are great bags and have their purposes...peace.

@CaptainFur Be looking forward to that. If it's as handy as I think it will be, I'll be buying one for each family member's kit (BOB).
CaptainFur 1 year ago
you have some quality gear there, id add a little more water as you need water more than food, bare minimum and i mean just enough to get by is 1 liter a day. water/food should make up most of weight as both items are greatly needed and will be consumed which will lighten up your pack.
when i go on 3-4 day hunting trips my pack is a good 55-70lbs.
no toilet paper???
cbr6864 1 year ago
@cbr6864 I'm guessing you didn't watch the whole video.. The toilet paper was with the Ranger Handbook, and as far as water goes, the water bottle is a Filter in itself.. (All the water I want) I bug out to places with water.. I'll be fine as long as the water source doesn't get compromised
