Overseas Get Home Bag

[idk2say]

Very interesting.

[1997dartagnan]

sat phones would be perfect if they could be hand crancked

[delta66able]

we just say I'm from Holland.. and get help pretty much everywhere! ; )

[ThePJpatch]

* good small advanced medical book

* antibiotics broad spectrum

* binoculars

* sowing kit, glue, duck tape

one of the best reviews out there, keep it up.

[mace085]

so how do you plan getting home across the ocean? swim?

[theroadwarri0r]

@mace085 swim?  No, that's a little too far to swim. I plan to barter my way across on a freighter or other private boat.

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

If someone is gong on deployment I would always check with your chain of command. Not sure how much you can take over outside of some civilian coloring and your required kit. You maybe be limited what you can take outside of your military issued gear.Maybe it's different in the US Military.

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

Not coloring that should be clothing. Oops

[survivalfringe]

Good stuff !!

[MsBayouPrepper]

Great idea to have the numbers already there!

[L0new0lf1070]

Great post. I just returned from a trip to SWA last week (contractor) and had a rough time. Got food poisoning and was stung by a scorpion. Antibiotics and some pepto would have been great in my kit. I also could have used some gauze for my wound. Had to cut up a cotton t-shirt to improvise.

[wanker2us]

if you dont have a gun your chnaces of making it home are NIL...

[GTVAlfaMan]

@wanker2us

You can't bring or carry a gun overseas, especially in Great Britain.

[RoflmaoAtSheepeople]

Your a very smart man!! Its the type of pask I would do if I was still in The gold and silver is well thought out I had to buy my way out at one time (long story) I see it as every man overseas should You are hook up sir well thought out. Ill pass this along. Soon it will be this way here? I do this now 24/7 where ever I go.

[jistaguy45]

I have that same sponge idea but, instead of a sponge I use a Sham-Wow. It may sound silly, but, I think it's a little more versatile than a sponge. Good luck to you over there.

[DontTread0nMe1776]

@jistaguy45 I just found a sham-wow while packing up my house to move, maybe I will throw it in "the bag".

[MongoWongo777]

Question. I know it will vary a lot, but do you have a ball park figure for the amount of precious metals you should carry to get you back home?

Btw: read the detailed article on your web site. nicely done. I appreciate the additional info on the Isat. I have been considering getting a sat phone for a while.

[NewYorkSurviver]

@Theroadworrier, I have a question, dong you think you would be safest with the military that you have been stationed with. They have everything they need to survive for months if on a ship. If I understand your scenario then you will only be returning home if your last man standing or a stragglier

[MongoWongo777]

Love your bugout / get home bags. I must have watched your Jan 1. 2010 bug out bag vid a million times. I see a few of the same pieces of gear. I really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this info! Be Safe!!!!!

[inthego]

Good Luck, God bless and thanks for your service.

[blkwulff]

Can a some one traveling get this bag on a plane just wondering cause it looks like I will be traveling over there soon to the middle east all the info on the topic will be helpful thank you great video

[GTVAlfaMan]

@blkwulff

You can board a plane only without weapons.

[DemonHide]

I've been thinking about this a lot, and have come to some of the same conclusions. This is arguably one of the most difficult situations to be in during a collapse, especially with the whole getting outta dodge and laying low before the military notices that you've "punched out". As has been said, this kit can definitely work for civilian applications, and the best part is that it isn't an enormous 90-lbd ruck!

Godspeed on your deployments, friend. I pray that these items are not necessary.

[theroadwarri0r]

@DemonHide definitely a bad situation to be in...

[theroadwarri0r]

@DemonHide and thanks.

[offthegridsurvival]

stay safe brother!

[theroadwarri0r]

@idk2say the bag isn't big and it's a hiking pack. Not a military ruck. Yes, the military allows you to take personal belongings as long as you can fit them in the space provided.

[jwgbmp40]

great vid! i was the last man in my battalion to leave saudi in 91, it was scary as hell & no where near the animosity towards Americans, as today. be safe & God speed brother.

[dodoinurpants]

I would keep a wool blanket in there just cuz. Thanks for sharing.

[theroadwarri0r]

@dodoinurpants I'll already have a wool blanket as a part of my normal kit.

[40sigsauer]

Good shit, thanks for sharing!

[Grubkat]

There's a ton of civilian applications in this video. Great job and thank you for your service.

[jwatterson69]

Excellent choice with the Randall-Made #16 "Special #1 Fighter" !!!

[NzMaze]

great idea about sponges for water catchment

[NzMaze]

one of the best bug out bags vid's if seen - well done

[TRUTHandANSWERS]

yank the anal beads ....lol ..just kidding...great video thanks!

[DEMOLITIONMAN109]

good video. good luck overseas.

[mmkbkk]

Interesting video, thanks. You presume that in case of troubles you would be the safest by going back to the continental US. It would be interesting to see your preparations if just the opposite was true.

[theroadwarri0r]

@mmkbkk I feel that the US will be the safest place to be right up until the end. We in the US simply have the best seats on the Titanic.

[yhird]

Hands down that is the finest collection of bug out equipment I've seen so far roadwarri0r! I especially like the SAT phone and tube vaults. Thank you for sharing. Great information and great video!

[theroadwarri0r]

@yhird thanks! It's technically "get home" equipment but there are similarities in the kit you'll need during both scenarios.

[slickwilly87]

Being in the navy.... I really cant argue with this pack,- especially the wipes!

[stuntpea]

In Britain if you look like you're out camping in the countryside and you have a knife it should be fine as long as you tell the copper. He'll probably ask you to put it out of sight if it's on the outside of a bag.

I'm not sure about in a British city though. Knife crime is huge in London and it can be up to 5 years in jail if caught in possession without a reason.

[mmkbkk]

@stuntpea Also not sure if it would be to your advantage to have your name and contact details disclosed on the knife after you are forced to use it.

[theroadwarri0r]

@mmkbkk good point, but it might be helpful in establishing the knife as a military issued tool of your trade. Lends more credibility to you. No knife wielding murderer would have his name and branch of military service engraved on his knife.

[Rumbinger]

Hey man, great video. Best of luck to you overseas and always. This video is perfect timing, I just started reading Survivors the other day, and one of the characters is an airforce officer stranded overseas struggling to get home post shtf. Also just a great kit in general. That's a lot of utility for 35lbs.

[theroadwarri0r]

@Rumbinger thanks! It actually weighs in at 28 lbs, but with two full water containers it weighs in over 30.

[theroadwarri0r]

Ok BJ, I'll look up "My cross-country GHB by: _RAGNAR_" on AR15dotcom.  Thanks for posting.

[NewYorkSurviver]

@Theroadw0rrier, great stuff I'm glad to see new up loads lately. Do you think you will be able to do any videos while you are over seas, that would be great! But I hope you keep in touch with the Internet, stay safe

[theroadwarri0r]

@NewYorkSurviver I might shoot a couple. Who knows. Thanks for your interest.

[BRIKbushcraft]

I second the anti-diarrheal medication suggestion. Never know what you can run into with another country's drinking water. Excellent video Road Warrior

[theroadwarri0r]

@BRIKbushcraft thanks for watching!

[theroadwarri0r]

@Treaster99 you're welcome.

[sgone0]

Well done, I have been doing this for almost 40 years and found a few things that I would have loved to of had on deployment. Not much to comment on great job and I mean roger that! Stay sharp and live long.

[theroadwarri0r]

@sgone0 40 years? Now that's a long while. Thanks for watching! TRW

[ohiopreppdude]

oops i was walking around italy with my buck knife on the out side of my pack last june no one ever said a thing nice vid good info

[theroadwarri0r]

@ohiopreppdude congratulations. You're a terrorist under the new NDAA law. Go turn yourself in. :)

[DontTread0nMe1776]

Most of the items here would be good in a domestic get home bag or bug out bag as well. I didn't even know they made quick clot with silver ions, $18 for one 25g pack at amazon, expensive stuff but it could save your life.

[theroadwarri0r]

@DontTread0nMe1776 yes, very expensive but I think it's necessary when operating remotely. As you said, could save your life.

[ShockForce42]

TRW what country are you in / job

[theroadwarri0r]

@ShockForce42 Apologies, but I typically don't answer specific operating location or job questions for PERSEC reasons. I can say that I will be operating in the CENTCOM AOR for much of 2012 and that I am a commissioned naval officer by trade.

[ShockForce42]

@theroadwarri0r I understand thanks for the reply though glad to see your videos on my homepage again

[azis1100]

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking about this!

Great vid

[MadBadVoodo]

★★★★★

[bladeimm]

Awesome. Thank you so much. Picked up a few great tips and perspectives. What you do here is very meaningful. Deeply appreciated.

[theroadwarri0r]

@bladeimm thanks bladeimm. I appreciate it.

[MrM2hb]

Nice kit.

[mostlymichaelcanada]

Warrior, you should add anti-diahreal medication to your go bag IFAK. Stay safe.

[theroadwarri0r]

@mostlymichaelcanada good suggestion.  Mine is expired.

[unclecow]

this was fantastic

[theroadwarri0r]

@unclecow Thanks!

[chieppa]

Have you read the new book Survivor by James Wesley Rawles? Good info, but you have info that isn't covered in the book.

[theroadwarri0r]

@chieppa thanks for the suggestion. If you read the companion article to this video (link in description box), you'll see that I posted a link to that specific book and talked a little about it. I enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment.

[TexasPatriotHuneke]

good info ive been over seas for two years now, and have a kit aswell.

[theroadwarri0r]

@TexasPatriotHuneke thanks, in what capacity are you overseas?

[TexasPatriotHuneke]

@theroadwarri0r Marine security guard for the US embassy's 

[theroadwarri0r]

@TexasPatriotHuneke roger that. I backed you guys up as a member of JTF Lebanon a back in '06.

[TexasPatriotHuneke]

@theroadwarri0r heck yeah, I was in boot camp in 06
