Why not pack a tarp or at least a space blanket for emergency shelter etc? And in the winter it's good to have a wool blanket too. No reason not to - you've got room in the vehicle.
My traveling bag consists of gauze, duct tape, a ka-bar, a wrench, and iodine tablets. At the end of the day, that's all you really need. Everything else is a luxury.
Candles are good to warm yourself if you're stuck in a car during winter. Those small rounded white candles that come in a metal cup are the best (I think they're usually used to do fondue.
Love this video! i am a volunteer first responder and I appreciate this video and the First Aid Pack Video! These two are essential and keep people safe.
A good signaling item is those cheap little colored smoke bombs you can get during firework seasons. What would be easier to see other than a huge bright orange and blue and purple cloud of smoke coming out of the trees?
Dear Packrat556 i have a great kit im making for te winter becuase of ur idea with the extra clothes and other stuff Also i have a video with my main kit so please watch and comment
Nice job on the kit. Looks like you have all the "must haves" covered. Much more that what you've got and you cross into the "nice to have" territory.
Hi Packrat thanks for sharing whats in your bag. I noticed you did not have much for shelter such as a tarp and sometype of heat retainment like a sleeping bag or wool blanket. I know you have the black garbage bag. Is this becasue of the area your in or just a diffrent outlook to what you will need. I carry basic shelter items and less food, my pack weighs in at 20 pounds without the water.Thanks, Steve.
I would maybe include a good tarp to go with the bag and poncho it may seem like a redundancy but the bags rip on me in windy situations other than that ...... man you have it all great vid thanks for posting.... side note i live in such a crappy neighborhood that if i leave a bag in my car it would be gone in record time hahaha
I was looking at those water bottles in WM the other day and the label said not to put hot liquid. Have you tested it out by boiling water in it? Just wondering
a good add is some reflective tape to put on your cloths if you have to walk at night so you don't get hit.its better then a vest because there may be passangers with you.and then you can leave the glow sticks buy the car so it don't get hit.
Great job and very educational. Always good to see some good equipment from someone that has obviously used whats inside. Gotta pick a movie night and watch more of your videos.
Hey PackRat, looks like you got everything pretty much covered. I would reccomend adding a siphon hose to the kit or somewhere in your truck for siphoning gas or maybe getting water from a hard to reach place in the wilderness.
9/11 was an inside job. See the collapse of building 7. Currently the US Military is helping to insert Al-Qaeda into Libya and bombing civilians; you remember those fellows that supposedly flew planes into the WTC. Now, as then, we have them on our payroll and we use them to run False Flags and terrorize other countries were bombing around the world. You do understand that your lied to daily by your Government and the National Media they control. However, I do like your videos.
What about some sort of insect repellent? I keep a spray can and also OFF! travel wipes in my truck that I use all the time when I'm out somewhere and the mosquitos come out. Other than that very thorough as usual. Keep the vids coming!!
PackRat!!! Well as in typical fashion you've created another top notch video. What's makes this one & all your other videos great isn't so much the "gear" that is featured, but the "why".
That cosmetic bag is a good idea.You can see everything inside.On those light sticks they last a long time don't they?Thanks to this video I checked my light stick to see if they still work,and it does.It is dated 2005.Very helpful videos thank you for doing them.
gotta say you make some really great videos of preparations and ways to stay safe and i do like to use a lot of your ideas and reviews as guidelines for my own. Thank you for making these videos and I am looking forward to more.
great vid and kit....i will be using some of your ideas. From personal experience i would keep a tiny cheap portable AM/FM radio in the bag. About the size of a pack of cigs but probably your most important prep the first few hours of an event. Obviously your truck has one...but when you grab your pack and go...you will need the know the info....routes, c events etc.....
also those lith AA are perfect for the radio...2 batts last me over a year in mine.
I got to say that the LED Lenser flashlights are the best. I have a keychain flashlight and one that I dedicated to my B.O.B bag. I don't know how much you got your healamp for but my flashlights were, 15 dollars for the keychain and 20-25 dollars for the B.O.B light. I'm sorry for this long comment but you sure are prepared for anything. Take care.
I carry a lighter too.. but I always get the clear ones so I can always check the fluid levels. I also keep mine in an old medicine bottle to keep it waterproof.
I don't know if you keep one in your truck or not..but I ALWAYS make sure to carry a pair of nail clippers... a hangnail will drive me bonkers. lol
very nice kit! I need to get one of these put together but i've just been putting it off. just hard to find a place for one in a single cab pickup. very little room behind the seat, and underneath has the mechanism for the seat adjustment. You've motivated me to get on it though. Surely I can find a way
Excellent stuff, brother! Also, i love to see people being prepared, more people should be. I carry my Maxpedition Remora get home bag/day pack with me EVERYwhere i go. Some people think it's over kill to carry it everywhere, but I'm prepared. Tonight for example, my car broke down. Had my pack with me, fortunately i was close to home and had my cell phone. But my point is, it was raining, dark, and i had my pack with me with things in it to take care of myself and get me home safely.
Excellent; you have most comprehensive car kit I have seen (other than my own). Maybe consider coins along with the bills which may be nice in case you find picky $ machines along the way. I also carry mainstay's water packets which are nice-they do not freeze in the winter and carried in the summer. Another thing I have is a lockable rubber-mate style container that has two wheels if you pull off the vehicle that can be dragged like a dolly cart (again wall-mart) if need to abandon the car.
@PackRat556 Great video. Just wondering what do you use in the way of self defense? I did not see any guns or ammo in your pack. What are your thoughts on that?
I noticed you have some of the mountain house freeze dried meals in your pack. have you ever tried the beef stew? i did a review of it..seemed kinda soupy to me..not bad tasting though.
You should add one of those knives with a seatbelt cutter and a window breaker or something along those lines.
