Doc you forgot one really important item.......the Sherpa to carry that heavy load !!! Just kidding, but seriously you need to trim that weight down , WAY DOWN. If you are planning on staying by the car , great, but if you plan on doing any kind of walking with that gear you better be in Olympic shape...Rock On. Keep up the good work. Stonehombre Out !!

@Stonehombre1 You must not have watched the entire video. This large bag is to stay in the car. There is a smaller bag in the trunk as well that I can put the items I need to carry in if I have to hit the road on foot.

Gun?

[thenewsurvivalist]

@TexasDistortion In my holster...not in my bag.

Have you considered an Alcohol Stove? Alcohol is far more abundant and has multiple uses and stores very very well. Alcohol stoves like the Trangia models are much less bulky than that gizmo you show here. Also alcohol burns much much better in winter than butane.

@tripthelitefantastic I have many alcohol stoves, including sterno in my bug out bag. I have used the gizmo in my car bag many times, as my exclusive stove for months at a time. I produces a heck of a lot more heat than alcohol. It is bulky but this is my car bag so I don't have to back pack it. (Although I have backpacked this stove across Europe in a 2 month hitch-hiking tour of that continent, because the international camping gaz was the easiest source of fuel to find there.)

My dad insisted I hide $20 in my car in $1 and $5 bills + coins for tolls + pay phones. (20yrs ago $20=fill up!) 1st thing I did when I got to college was gas up. Many times I drove home with NOTHING in my wallet but my tank was full-thanks dad! Carry LONG jumper cables and a new 5 gl gas can for water or gas. Store w/cap off/loose. Family emergency forced me to leave at 12am once. Found out the cheap gas station (last one before on ramp) closed at 10pm! Full tanks people!  Maps too!

did you study in EF school ?

[jonlocke83]

Love your kit. But one question, why not just keep your bug-out-bag in your trunk?

[zunathanzu]

the skittles were a nice touch

[unclewill67]

@thenewsurvivalist that was my question. I have a 22 revolver in my backpack. I have the holster fixed to one of the front straps for in the event I have to use the bag, the pistol goes in front. I also have 200 rounds of ammo for it as well as 25 for a 410 and 20 for a 223 if I have a chance to grab either of those. Since I always have a gun in my truck, I don't need to put one in my vehicle bag (that I really need to work on...and soon). Thanks for the vids. Keep 'em coming.

we need a revolution in the usa and bring down this goverment-tyranny doc

[Stonehombre1]

Hi Doc, Yes I did watch the whole video. I saw what you had in the trunk and if you are contemplating putting all that bulk in that School bag you might want to reconsider. No issues with what you chose, but you might want to change some of the items for something lighter. OH, and one thing I DIDN'T see was a pistol of some sort. I know Missouri has changed their archaic laws on firearms ownership and Concealed carry so you might want to add something to your kit. Take care

some good advice but Beef jerkey only lasts about 3 Months in ideal climates. do you rotate your food every 3 Months? And the trunk of a car gets pretty HOT in the summer. that beef jerkey and the canned food will not last long in the trunk of a car at summer time I suggest freeze dried food rather than canned and jerkey if you plan to store it in a cars trunk for more than a few weeks if its summer time. Just my thoughts on the subject. JKW
