For water purification I've got a small bottle of bleach with an eye-dropper I can use to purify my camel with, as well as the usual boiling (I need to boil my rat packs anyway). Have you run into any issues with bleach? I'm hesitant keeping an electronic device and needing batteries. I'm still using hexamine instead of gas, that's how old-school I am.
I like how you talked about the difference between a get home bag, and a bug out bag. I felt this way once I started preparing my bags, and your video is the first one I have seen that touched on the difference between the two.
@grrod88 Absolutely bud. I've used tons of different brands of fuel for the stove. It has to be isobutane (I believe that's what it is anyway) and the stove has to thread on. As long as those two things have been achieved your ready to rock and roll.
@SwitchbackOutdoors nice, because i got an msr pocket rocket and every time im out of fuel i got to run all the way across town to rei to buy there over priced msr fuel. now ill just stock up from walmart. thanks for the info man
It's not very bright to get drunk if your in the woods, you will need a CLEAR head if lost. Also, it amazes me how many so called "Survivalists" forget the survival Fishing kit as well as simple nail clippers, unless you want fingernails & toenails to become long and/or ingrown. I've had severe ingrown toenails before and the infection can lead to more serious problems, especially when your out where it's unclean, like the woods.
@townkevin59 I'm not advocating getting hammered and wandering through the woods. I'm just saying that if I have to spend the night while walking home, once camp is set up, I may want to have a drink. I'd saying wandering through the woods, and not having a pre-designated route home isn't very bright as well. I won't be wandering anywhere. The chance of getting lost is minimal with this particular bag as it's NOT a bug out bag.
@townkevin59 A fishing kit isn't the only option for obtaining meat. This is a GHB, and not a BOB I do not need a way to procure food. It's designed for 3 days MAX and I have 3 days worth of food in it. Don't get me wrong, I have a fishing kit in my BOB, it would be foolish not to have one. Just not with this kit. Great thought on the toenail clippers. I'm going to throw a pair in my BOB, but again, the GHB doesn't need toenail clippers, it's for 3 days max. Thanks for watching!
@TrueOutdoorsMan16 I accidentally forgot to show my flashlight in video. It's part of my EDC, thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! A light is definitely a necessary tool.
@Wirechoke Mentioned it in video. 20 lbs base weight give or take a pound of so depending on what random gear I throw in. Not including consumables. You could lighten that even more by using a different pack. The pack weighs like 3.5lbs on its on. Not to mention other ways. Good question.
@Wirechoke No kidding huh, my buddy has one, it'd take up a lot less space then my nalgenes, lighter also. Thanks for the tip brother, I never thought of changing containers. Thanks for watching!
@gregvance The tabs leave a funky taste in the water. The steripen was about 50$, but it works great and doesn't leave a bad taste, its also a lot quicker. I've used both and definitely prefer the steripen. Both get the job done though.
@whereskim89 Too heavy and bulky for me personally. To each his own though. I just use a stick for most digging tasks. I feel like a e-tool wouldn't be worth carrying considering the weight, and space penalty. That said I wouldn't want one thrown at me. lol
Nice video. Alot of people probaly give you a hard time for the wiakey and smokes but i feel there very important, if thinks are really so bad we need our bags then the small things like that will boost our moral.
It SURE is nice to see someone else who has the same idea between a bug out (72 hour) /get home bag and a long term/perm get-out-of-dodge B.O.B. Good vid.
@kcrone1 California... nuff said. This is a get home bag, I'm not bugging out. If I was laws wouldn't count for much now would they. Thanks for the comment.
whether it be a 72 hour situation, or a bug-out situation, Moral is very important. so a small i-pod, or kindle is very important for me, to help keep my sanity after the work is done, and the way you would keep it charged would be either a brunton solar power setup or a hand crank generator to charge the batteries. I also keep a bible in both my 72hr kit and my bug out bag.
@TheSonofthunder7 i think if you were to be stranded for an indefinite amount of time, such that you would need a bug out bag, you god has forsaken you, no need for a bible, just extra weight, and if you need a bible, just download one to your kindle...
Great bag! The psychological boost from having creature comforts like TP, tobacco, and booze, should not be ignored. The blanket will be better than nothing but still miserable if you have to use it wet. A heavy duty space blanket (the kind with the gromets) will make a good wrap to keep the blanket and pad dry, and can be used for shelter or with the blanket, as a lined poncho. Strange food, strange water, stress, etc., anti-diarrhea pills are a must for any kit. Good job.
Great Philosophy. Thanks for addressing the differences between the types of kits. Everyone on youtube has a kit or a list, but most of them lack the sound logic and philosophy to help others understand their point of view.
you can actually take some coffee filters, pour coffee in the filter, and then crumple it up into a teabag. tie off the extra filter and then dip it in a boiling cup of water. it should cut a few ounces off your loadout
I am getting together my get-home-bag as we speak. I live in northeastern ohio, and I too want to have my bag ready for all 4 seasons, especially winter, as it can get pretty brutal this far north. I am going to have my bag at the ready in the trunk of my car, as I travel a LOT to and from work. My question is, how do I keep water in my trunk in the winter, I do not want it to freeze. Any suggestions?
@TrinDawg37 I did some quick research online and couldn't find anything other than using insulated water bottles. Weather or not that's a reasonable way to go who knows. How about just make sure you have a stove, pot, and water containers (Bladder, nalgene's, etc) and melt snow to get your water. In the summer you won't need to melt snow because water won't be freezing on you. Just a thought. Great question, sorry I couldn't help you more. If you find anything let me know, I'm interested.
Hello Mr. SwitchBackOutdoors, im 13, getting into all this survival stuff. what kind of cheap footwear would you recommend? i have some Brahma work boots that i got from wal mart
@TheDudelikeCrackers I started with a pair of steel toe work boots from walmart bud. They were heavy and not the most comfortable things in the world, but they did the job. I walked hundreds and hundreds of miles in em. I wouldn't get too hung up on boots. Wear what you have. If you have boots, great. Just keep getting out there, and keep having fun, learning, and practicing your skills. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment!
It might already be on the inside of your pack, which I don't think you fully covered; anyway ... wouldn't hurt to consider carrying a rain poncho; extra shirt (or T-shirt) and light fleece-type jacket - even in summer, there can be chilly days.
Great video, and you're showing my that packing light but comprehensively *is* possible! And reasoning re 72-hours vs. Bug Out makes perfect sense.
Thanks for mentioning the electrolyte concentrate! I have gastrolyte instant powder pks at home (extra super salty!) and know there are gatorade singles (much too sweet for me!). Since you say 'elete' brand doesn't change the taste, that's just what I want ... and the small size is an added bonus.
@NewbieCamper No taste, no smell, and it won't turn your camelbak/nalgene/canteen moldy or anything. Good stuff. The one I'm using is the 25ml dropper.
@charleswesly As far as the tarp/tent this particular set up is for spring/summer (:50). There is a tarp in my BOB. The snake bit kits a great idea, and takes up no space. I'm deffinitly putting on in my pack. Thanks!
"i'm probably not going to be too happy, so i'd rather get drunk." I know from experience this is what you do when youre pissed off and in the woods, except last time it was yukon jack at 9am hahahaha.
i'm glad that you've taken every thing serious because when the shit hits the fan and your some muppet with a little bum bag your fucked and so i'm glad that you've taken it so seriously
I'm so glad you took the time to point out what others have overlooked for so long, or gets lost in translation. That a 72 hr. pack is and should be way different than a complete BOB. I have said for so long when you bug out it's just what the name implys, bugging out and not knowing when or if your coming back. Great review and common sense, thanks. I will surely check out the rest of your posts.
i know you have it in there most likely for comfort but just a tip coffe in a survival situation makes you more thirsty if you want something to quench your thirst bring tea just a tip really like you video! :) thanx!
Why did you choose a wool blanket over fleece? Wouldn’t wool way more? By the way I actually like that you don’t carry any guns. Good to know I don’t have the only BOB in the world that doesn’t contain any firearms.
@lonewolfTKD The wool blanket definitely weighs more than a fleece would. I chose it because it seems to be quite a bit more durable, warmer, and retains something like 80% of its insulative properties when wet. Not sure if fleece does the same. As far as firearms go, I own a Remington 870 12 gauge, IF the situation called for it, that would be with me. Great question, thanks for watching!
@jwgbmp40 California is anal about firearms. Depending on the severity of the situation a weapon may be put in. The pack is a Camelbak Linchpin. It's around 2,000 Cu In. I use it as a day pack/72 hour pack. Anything over 72 hours is pushing it space wise. I've lived out of it for 3 days tho. Thanks for watching!
@mateo1726 The cooking kit is a snowpeak 700ti pot, MSR pocket rocket, and a JetBoil french press. Each item was purchased from different websites. Relatively lightweight and fairly bomb-proof. Video coming when I get some time. Thanks for the compliment!
Excellent kit! Geared towards camping, smart! So many do not pack tent and sleepbag or blanket. A bit too bulky on the water purification for me - some tablets will do. Very nicely done!
Very good bag. Add a pair of underware and a t-shirt. Place in a quart zip lock bag. I see that you have a pocket rocket and propane. I have the rocket too but you need at least one blast match and some vaselene (sp) soaked cotton balls. They are a great back up. Always keep a wool bennie and wool gloves in your bag too. Even wet, you'll stay warm. I'm not big on multi-tools so I carry a good pair of dikes with me. Just a suggestion. A military poncho is another great item. Blessings bro!
@mizooch70 Ziplock bag, ferro rod, and vasaline soaked cotton balls are in the survival kit in the bag. Good call on the spare underware and t-shirt. Fresh drawers makes you feel like a new man. A military poncho is on my list of things to buy. Love the fact you can make a shelter with em. Thanks for the comment bud!
For water purification I've got a small bottle of bleach with an eye-dropper I can use to purify my camel with, as well as the usual boiling (I need to boil my rat packs anyway). Have you run into any issues with bleach? I'm hesitant keeping an electronic device and needing batteries. I'm still using hexamine instead of gas, that's how old-school I am.

@mizooch70 Ziplock bag, ferro rod, and vasaline soaked cotton balls are in the survival kit in the bag. Good call on the spare underware and t-shirt. Fresh drawers makes you feel like a new man. A military poncho is on my list of things to buy. Love the fact you can make a shelter with em. Thanks for the comment bud!

Good idea with the whiskey. Multiple uses and a convenient carry case.
