  • Put in some itch ointment just because you might run into poison ivy.

  • Also I would recommend the camelbak tactical backpacks for a survival backpack

  • Hey put all the tools you have in your backpack and put them in the description

  • what is the music at the opening is so cool! Great video all very useful information!

  • Second viewing because this vid is awesome. I put in Primamist and Claritin for allergic reactions. Primamist may not be available anymore due to the high amount of pseudoephedrine in it, but Claritin works fine if you get in a patch of poison ivy/sumac, might even help along with a snake bite kit to stave off anaphylactic shock. It is a must-have if you need to GOOD and go through an area with a lot of snakes. I live in Texas so anti-histamines are needed for the flora and fauna.

  • Hey my sound isnt working right on my computer. Can you tell me what type of backpack that is?.

  • Dont want to be a douche, but GHB is a Hard-drug. So that u know.

    GHB, Gamma HydroxyButyrate

  • @junjie325 I would like to buy one of those backpacks

  • @PackRat556 what backpack is that? and where can I get that water canteen?

  • where did you buy backpack?

  • scroll up ur missin the vid

  • did you know that azbest produces Cancer?

  • @Legofans2011 So does Processed Food.

  • Can u show is how to do home made beef jerky and dehydrate vegetables and by the way great great videos

  • Were you/are you in the Marines? And if so, you have a low reg cut to go with those nasty sleeves?

  • Comment removed

  • lube the zippers. easy fix

  • How*

  • nice video. Now heavy is it? would it be a descent camping/hiking pack? Thanks

  • This is awesome....i'm actually looking for some ideas of stuffs to put in my backpack..in case of emergency that i can grab it and run. Like your video

  • @packrat556 I've just started my bugout bag thanks to many videos like your own, but needs to gets a good camping bag. So far I only got a duffle bag wich isn't best for hiking around the brush. I figured you were the best person to tell me. Was considering kelthy redwing 3100 but was wanting adivice from you; bags being your expertise. Thanks for your time -8U1S6-

  • @BeneliM1014 ok

  • @BeneliM1014 This says "SURVIVAL backpack" dumb shit.

  • @BeneliM1014 Are you angry I just though practically? Just a question, why do you need to go through the trouble of having all this shit if a satellite phone guarentees your survival? Do you have something to proove? There is only on situation (that i can think of) this "survival" kit would serve any purpose. That would be if you were in the military and you could'nt call in people to come pick you up because you are in enemy territory or somthing. Otherwise, why make is so hard on yourself????

  • survival this, survival that. Bring a satellite phone and you are guarenteed your survival.

  • @dandotreillydot42058 I've spent the last 4 years of my life going outdoors on either hiking trips, hunting trips, canoe journeys or just general trips to get outdoors. Now, if there is one thing you can't be sure of, it is that the government/search services cannot be relied on, all the time. The reason a bag like this is constructed, is for the situation that by the off chance, emergency services are either overwhelmed with other people, or you are in-accessible. A bag like this saves lives.

  • @Blondie767 Im just asking, how can you be inaccessible? If you "accessed" were you are, then how can you be inaccessible. Also, if you dont trust the search teams then carry this entire 10 lb back pack, but ad the extra 12 oz and carry a satelite phone. Call first and see if you can be rescued. I guarentee you will be home in an hour. I could undertand this bag saving lives in a natural disaster where the services are overwhelmed and you are inaccessible, but in the wilderness i just can't see

  • @dandotreillydot42058 Well my definition of "inaccessible" would be due to snow, heavy rain or winds. Conditions that i am referring to would be more blizzard prone areas too. I always carry a satellite phone on my person, just in case of the event of an emergency, so by no means am I not acknowledging you point. Because satellite phones save lives too.

  • @dandotreillydot42058 a satellite phone would be great....if you've got at least $800 bones to buy it with. They can get near $1500 too. PackRat thanks for the video.

  • @mrmotownmadness89 If you were authentically worried about your survival you would pay 400 dollars on a lower end phone. This man has spent alot of money on his "survival kit" and could have easily baught a phone instead. You can argue with me but I think my life is worth 1500. If I was concerned about my survival, I would buy a satelite phone. But of course if you are to cheap to "survive" and would rather blow all your money away on this, then be my guest.

  • @dandotreillydot42058 I am agreeing with you...a satellite phone would be great. But only having a satellite phone as a survival kit (the point of this video) is beyond unprepared, it's stupid. Plus it is depending an awful lot on others to help you. There is nothing wrong with the items PackRat has shown us. Also, if I were "authentically" worried about my survival, I wouldn't buy a lower end phone that might take a shit. I would fork out the money for the real deal, a good brand. Cheers.

  • You should do a review on JUST the UTG backpack, it would be the only one on youtube and i would REALLLY appreciate it if you did. I am gonna buy one when i get paid, i just wanna see if its a good pack on the inside and stuff :D thanks packrat, your videos have given me so many ideas for my BoB. ( i already have it all, just need a good bag ) and when i get it ill throw a review of mine up :D

    - chase

  • How many liters is it? Great review by the way!

    grtz, mandgsurvival

  • u can use chap stick and cotaian as kindleeing

  • the glock knife is a durable no shit knife i love it

  • You should rob some wax on the zipers. It well make them move a bit easier. Love you stuff man keep it up

  • Great video. One comment about knives: Experience in the backcountry has taught me that smaller blades perform better. A good blade of 3.5 to 4 inches is all that's really needed. No need for a longer blade to split logs with in a survival situation. It dulls and wastes too many needed calories doing that. Any log under 5" diameter will burn without being split anyway. I've found that the RAT-3 Knife is about as close to ideal as I'm ever going to get for an all-around outdoor wilderness knife.

  • @westernhunter38 In your area a large knife may not be useful but in mine it is mandatory. so i guess it all boils down to where you are and the type of environment you will survive in.

  • where did u order that bag from?

  • have you or anyone else watching/reading this looked into the Multicam camouflage pattern? It is the closest thing to the active camouflage technology from the Metal Gear Solid 4 video game. I wont buy any kind of SHTF gear unless it's in multicam. It's way better than woodland camo at blending with your surroundings. It's pretty expensive compared to other patterns but it is way way way cool.

  • @PackRat556 is that the 40 litre or the 28litre version

  • Really cool man great gear. Its helped me alot with puttin together mine watched all of ur vids

  • you should put a piston fire starter, and some vitamins

  • is that in od green or black?

  • @thekickingwolf

    i think hes is OD green

  • @thekickingwolf looks green man

    

  • Have you ever actually used any of this gear? I guess more inportantly, do you KNOW HOW to use this gear? Knowledge is power.

  • This has been really enjoyable to watch (all 5 of them)! Great information here! Thanks bro'!

  • yawnnn... looking at a picture zzzzz

  • this has been very helpful. I think I'll survive an earthquake.

  • dude your awesome what type of knife should i take should i take my pellet gun in my bag ?

  • Make sure your bandana has been washed! Nothing worse then bleeding the dye into water, or irritating your skin from it...WASH IT FIRST!

  • awesome review. very professional as always

  • Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but take chapstick lip balm and rub on the zippers to make them slide better. Works like a charm on my boat canvas and scuba diving bags.

  • @smeier12 not sure since this was years ago, but i think i saw someone rubbing the zippers with soap for the same purpose and it worked really well. 

  • I dident knew that this was calleed ghb XD i only knew ghb was a drug

  • Hey Packrat, thanks for your great vids... I'm working my way through all of them.

    Quick question if you get a moment.. I'm trying to find the capacity of the UTG backpack and having trouble finding the number. I'm comparing it to the Maxpedition Vulture II... your thoughts? Thanks much!

  • you should be endorsed for this i bet you sold quite a bit of these for them i bought one because of you

  • love your video's, i watch them over and over. a friend and myself are planning a backpacking trip this spring, we are gonna spend 3-5 days outdoors. your video's are so helpful, thanks for having good info per item. some video's just rush thru the item's and not tell what their for. thanks again and keep the video's coming

  • You may have answered this but what kind of pack is that and where can you get them?

  • @wolfman4591 yeah i want to know to

  • cool thanks for the tips i love the esbit stove now

  • tank you men for this infoooooo

  • where did u get ur knife and also im getting a k-bar leather handel shirt sized non-serrated edge knife. is that a good 1. It's 64.99 @ uncel sams. please reply

  • where did you get the canteen? thank you

  • Does anyone know if the UTG has molle straps on the bottom of the pack (to hook up sleeping bag or similar type of gear)?

  • i sent u a message ealry and i also was wondering i climb trees a lot and all the rop that i used is not good any more now can i use 550 cord cause i get my bow and climb up a tree and hunt rabbit and squarl so can u help me out cause im leaveing tomarrow

  • since your videos are great, i'll say something else. u sound a little like Wes from the bachelorette jillian season haa. just an observation!

  • Hey, I had a quick question and would like your advice since you discussed types of backpacks. I'm a small woman, but since high school I have been accustomed to carrying 25-40 lbs of books on my back. (School officials said lockers were for drugs.) What type of backpack would be best for an emergency situation to get out of the city and for a short woman? I'd like one that has space for water with kidney and chest straps for support. Thanks!

  • under the gun, unleash the glow they do alot of different things with it

  • I keep on coming back to your video reviews. Very helpful.

    What do you think of this bag compare to ...

    1) 5.11 Tactical Rush 24

    2) Maxpedition Condor 2

    For Day Hike / BOB ?

  • @survivalsonny they are fuel tabs for an esbit stove

  • how is it spos to survie the zombies

  • Have you seen Plane Train and automobile ??? The music on this video reminds of that movie ~! LOL

  • thanks for your vid

  • Looks heavy lol!

  • He's got Marine cami's on

  • Hey i have a FOX tatical gear ACU medium transport pach its A.L.I.C.E capabel and 18"x10"x10" and its combat spec built and mission ready (says the tag and it holds up preety well)

  • i was backpacking and i got lost and made a shelter with a silver space blanket and the saw the spaceblanket as a signal and rescued me

  • Yo PackRat Buy a Maxpedition Falcon 2 it has good quality strong ykk zippers en alot of Molle atachments and is pretty big and its have a alot of good organizers pockets.

  • @AlfonsFromAtech its a good pack.. but its damn expensive!

    well for a pack at least.. :P

  • @buttercow12 Yeaah you right

  • you should do a video about all your backpack's and pouche's you have....

  • Ah bladder against back = warm water -- bad design

  • @ArcAng3L4 The closer the water is to your body temp the better. Room temp water, for instance will absorb into your digestive system faster than ice water.

    I assume by your comment that by "bad design" you mean that you prefer your water cold. If I am correct, try drinking room temp water. Once you get used to it, it's very refreshing and doesn't feel like you have a sandbag in your stomach after a good gulp.

  • Hello. Nice backpack. I'd like to make one like that, so I'll take this video as a guide to make it. Thank you for post this video. Have a good day.

    Mario

  • i am interested in getting this pack and i was wondering if the belt come off of the pack?

  • oh how i love your accent...

  • potasium iodate ki3 pills for nuclear radiation drops

  • Hey bro..

    I had to ask. I am seriously thinking about getting a UTG backpack for myself but I wanted to ask.

    Will the side pouches hold a 32 or 38oz Nalgene bottle?

    And how is the pack holding up after all this time?

  • Great video. Great pack. My problem has been security where I park in a Metro parking garage all week. My car has an open hatchback area so no place to hide a BOB....but since it's black carpet, I can tuck a black pack in the very back..then cover flat with a black fleece blanket..and it's hardly visible even if you look directly into the windows. Great info!! Many things I'd not thought of for my bag!

  • I just picked up this same bag at a gun show today for $35 in coyote/tan brand new. I wanted OD, but the tan was all the dealer had left. For that price, I can't complain. It's one hell of a bag.

    For interested parties, it's the UTG Combat Featured Load Carrying Web Pack, and it's available at several websites for around $65. Leapers also makes one just like it.

  • I'm wondering, you talked about a good knife for the situation, I'm going on an antelope hunt in the backwoods of Colorado next week, would the Buck 119 Special be a good knife for there? Thanks!

  • I really enjoyed watching your B.O.B. videos and I plan on using many of your suggestions in designing my own B.o.B.  Thanks for making these videos!

  • you sound like a real nice guy

  • hey packrat love your vids i was wondering what gun would u use during a survival situation. also how many guns do u have

  • I feel like Gerber and Leathermen tools are basically of equal quality, however they suffer from the same kind of arguments as PC vs. MAC. They're both great, but I just prefer the Leathermen for some reason that I can't really put my finger on. My dad bought a Super tool when they first came out and used it at work. Then when it got old he gave it to me. I still have it and I still use it when I'm camping. It's 10 years older than me and I can vote.

  • You should consider adding a US GI canteen stove that fits on the canteen cup in the cover.

  • Again lots of useful info

  • looking forward to your update version of this bag!!!! thanks for sharing love your vids!!!!!!!!!!

  • Have you ever had to use this Survival backpakc ??

  • @ThePerlicitor better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it...

  • how much did you buy it for i have seen it online a couple times and i was wondering if you cold get it cheaper at the store or dicks or something?

  • LED flashlight brighter than penlight or maglight with incandesent bulb and longer battery life. Worth carrying a spare flashlight. You can use a rock to sharpen your knife. Can opener not needed some cans are quick open. Only a pocket knife needed for opening pouches mini scissors, combat knife and multi tool are heavy. 2 Bic lighters lighter than fire starter and matches.GI canteen makes water taste bad use a stainless water bottle or Nalgeen bottle.What state you from I am from Pa.

  • The reason the CFP-90 is less compart mentalized is becasue it was designed specifically for cold weather (not only for cold but it was designed to work in the cold better than other packs) so the large compartment is for things like coats, extra longundrwar, extra socks and other cold weather items. The whole purpose for the patrol pack on the CFP was to make the pack more compartmentalized.

  • hey, very nice vid! I def. learned some useful survival tips. I just wanted to ask though... what's up w/ the sharpie? I watched all 5 parts and you never went back and explained it.

  • how much does your pack weigh after being fully loaded?

  • thank you sir

  • nice bob bag bro

  • were do you get all of you deferent size of ziplock bags?

  • Try a little soap on those zippers.

  • cliff bars are good and nice pack helps alot

  • how many liters is the pack?

  • video request!!! can you make a video of a review of a mini mag light vs. a higher quality more expensive flashlight. thank you!!!

  • is that pack a condor?

  • 1-Leapers UTG Combat Web Pack

    2-VOODOO "REAPER" L.R.R.P. PACK

    3-5.11 Tactical 58602 RUSH 72 Backpack

    Wich one will you buy?

  • shame we dont live closer, we could hike up a storm

  • i enjoy watching your videos, i carry a red light because it effects your nightvision the least; something i learned in the coast guard.

  • how many liters is the bag?

  • For all you Condor lovers let me tell you not to buy their crap! I was given 1 of every bag they make and they are terrible!! I would rather sport a Fox outdoors product or bug out gear! Leave Condor to the Air softer players!

  • Your canteen cover looks like the old Alice-type. You might like the MOLLE canteen/survival pouch and it's more compatible with your attachment system. Also, the Maxpedition M4 is very nice and there are less expensive versions of that as well. I use one as a survival pouch.

  • agree with a lot of what you have and am interested in where you get some of your stuff. - side note i laugh at some of the below comments, lord help em if they dont take your suggestions instead of mocking them- one thing concerns me. i intend to have my pack carry most/all you suggested but what about the emergency now siutations when you need water and dry food to sustain you for a period of time if you are in an area without local water or gaming? i am out of room email me at gmail

  • Has basic carpenters tools crossed you mind on building a log home if SHTF and we were in a development where living out side of our homes my be for several months if not more? Like a small file to keep axes sharp knives relatively sharp.I would checkout the Youtube video "alone in the wilderness" to get an understanding for what i am speaking of.

  • Comment removed

  • The quarters are for if he ever does get lost or stranded and he finds like a pay phone or something it would be ashamed if he didn't have those quarters.

  • Salt is also good if you consume anything poisenous (warm salt water makes you bring it back up)

  • you sound like Forest Gump

  • if you want a good book on this sort of thing buy the books by James Wesley, Rawles.

  • what is a good bag to use as a survival backpack?

  • I don't know if you know this, but for those who don't know: Maglites have a spare lightbulb in the endcap behind the spring mechanism. So maybe no need to have a total of 3 extra bulbs?

  • How many cubic inches is this bag?

    How have the zipper held up for you? I hear they are the only real weak point about this bag.

  • where did u get that sick bag?

  • What is your favorite backpack that is cheap?

  • Just wanted to give you my honest opinion. This is a good video but you talk waayy to much about nonsense before you get into the reason I watched your video.

  • Great video for all the parts!  Where did you get this bag from?

  • nice blouse

  • Comment removed

  • @NoShamans I believe it is Leepers UTG Combat Web Pack Army Digital Model. Around $70.

  • i usually carry a kotex pad ,dont laugh, its good for soaking up blood and putting on wounds

  • i have gerber flick multitool and it works

  • Nice vids. But i was wondering how much the backpack and the content costs. And where you get all the money for it. Well I am just a 14 years old European kid who can't get all that stuff.

  • are you from louisiana

  • Here are a few suggestions. I carry one pair of wool socks and one pair of Gortex Waterproof socks, since our feet have to carry us. Your first aid kit might include: Moleskin, Oil of Oregano, kaopectate, Sam Splint, Vasoline, Vicks Vaporub, Oscillococcinum Flu Remedy.

  • very well put you remind me of nutnfancy

  • YES NUTNFANCY!!!!!!!

  • Whats the money for?

  • You and I seem to have alot in commen w/our love of packs and style of gear choices and such. Also I have a very simular version of your pack only mine doesn't have the side pockets. I love it. Same problem with the zippers but rather have that then a weak bag.

  • are you ex-military or something?

  • you can live

  • are you ex-Military? some of the stuff makes me think you are. if you make a comment saying you are\arent then im sorry ive missed them.

  • Just wondering how much this pack weighs, with gear aswell?

  • Oh yeah and Great video(s) packrat Keep up the good work.  Packrat557 out

  • Hey Guys this is pack rat's biggest fan just letting you know that the back pack is the UTG pvc-p688r. Google that phrase and look at shopping results if you want to buy the backpack.  Pack rat 557 OUT!!!

  • @mufcRULE2000 he gives alot of information which is helpful for people who actually want to survive what they are in, you wouldnt probably make it to far because you have no patience, good luck

  • Duh.. He's showing us his kit..

  • there seems to be a lot of luxury items in your 72hr pack.

  • this is meant for at least a week and he wouldn't take all of it. He's said that he would choose out of those items he's shown us to take with him.

  • kbars are good knifes

  • What os a BOB for? Is the world coming to an end and I haven't been told? I thought that all of the hopeless gave up after y2k. (man there was some good prices on generators in 2000-2001) If the world does end what is a BOB going to do?
