A few months back after checking my bug-out bag I started getting this terrible feeling in the back of my head that I needed to pull it out of my truck and perform a thorough inspection of content. After weeks of being lazy and saying, "I'll do it next weekend" I finally decided to make it my new year's resolution to get the major reorganization done and get the survival/preparedness monkey off my back.

Thanks for the motivation. I'm a like-minded guy and have been putting off a bug out bag for years. I have my bug out location (property with house, stocked/locked and protected), but I have to get there and that won't be easy. Won't be possible under some conditions which is why I need to get my shite together. Look forward to looking at your other videos. Best of luck if/when TSHTF. Out.

@eneal65 thanks, good luck to you also. Hope we don't need the luck though.

what kind of cook ware is that you have in your BOB?

[theroadwarri0r]

just a cheap MSR pan.  10 bucks. You can get by with an old aluminum can or something else you scavenge. Thanks for the question.

Great idea and excellent tips on the needed gear. My bug-out bag needs a lot of work. I hope to work on it this week.

I've gotta read Atlas Shrugged too. I've been a hearing a lot about it.

WBoA, get to work on some new vidos man!

[WaldoHunter]

what do you think about those new brita filter bottles that have the filter in the cap?

[edwood777]

A gas mask is a good add on to your kit. I have a Survivair gas mask in mine. I think tear gas and other air born contamination is going to be a problem to think about if all hell breaks loose.

The gas mask will also protect your eyes from dust that might be in the air.

Except for the wool blanket, what else do you use for shelter e.g. bivy bag, tarp, poncho, sleeping bag?

more objectivists should be in to prepping !!

I have a whole roll of toilet paper. I love the Sterno fuel to i have loads of it. i carry a folding shovel to dig holes for my campfires, when I'm done i fill hole back up and no one know i was there.folding saw, hatchet. tent stakes i can make a fully enclose tent out of tarp. I carry flares just because i had them. You can carry a little container of bleach to purify water to, or boil it. I carry those little packets of alcohol pads to start fires at time, one spark and you have fire. ect ec

[dibdevlon]

Have you consider a Berkey Bottle. Holds a liter of water and filters too. You can essentially carry the water and can grab the water on the run without being caught in the middle of filtering.

[philiesguy]

you are an isperation man,,i love your videos ....

[bletnahuj]

Yes you will need scotch to calm down if the situation is as bad as you forecast it !

TWW, I put my BOB together last night.  Twenty-five pounds. Not bad considering I have a Kel-Tec folding 9mm carbine with a Glock G17 mag and an extra 30 rnd mag in the bag. I need to get a Katadyn system and only have the steri-pen. I do adventure motorcycle touring (road to the Arctic Circle last summer from Seattle (7Kmiles)), so I already had everything minus the Katadyn. Major plus on the pocket book. I planned that trip as if I was in the outback with no services. It paid off.
