The Purpose, Planning and Packing your Bug-Out-Bag 1/3

This video series goes over information concerning the 'Bug-Out-Bag'. For those just starting out this will give you a good idea on the basics of building your own BOB.

BOBs are not new but are gaining popularity as ppl understand that they need to be responsible for the safety of themselves and their family members. Lots of info on BOBs can be found on the internet but you need to build your BOB for you, your location and the possible emergencies you might face. Many ppl cannot spend lots of money on their BOB, so the information here is geared toward those who dont have a lot of money &/or those who are just beginning to gather information on what a BOB is and how it is to be used in conjunction with various survival skills. You can have the most expensive and high tech BOB but if you cannot use the items to survival (IOW you have little or no skills) then your BOB is worthless.

A BOB is not just a bag of stuff, but tool to help you survive in an emergency. The greatest tool you have is you and your abilities to evaluate your situation, build a BOB and practice using it so your confident in your abilities and equipment. Remember this is just an introductory look and not an all inclusive video series.


I hope this helps.

:)

Steve

  • I've been saying all along to push it past 72 hours so thank you!

  • @lttlboom Wise words indeed - your absolutely correct.

    :)

  • Hey Steve can you tell me how much the BOB goes for and what model is that black one behind you is? thanks

    

  • @boyfat1997 I try to get discounts on all my items & I keep updating my BOB so I can say the total cost. The black back I got in Korea for $35 back in the early '90s but its pretty high quality & probably costs $200+ just for the bag.

    :)

  • When the first shovel of earth hits our coffins! LOL!

  • as an active duty member of the marine corps, i can easily say this is the best training video, maybe even best training about surviving i've ever seen. excellent job!

  • Weapons targets and movements

  • what about doing recon of resources in your area. like what store have large storage in the back, what stores have what you need, what buildings have back up systems, what buildings are hardened already, what buildings are good for defending or just hiding."this i know is for urban mostly but noe soley"

  • @budweisernfl123 Yes most people should stay in their homes but alot will run,and to the woods where they dont know what the hell their doing.I see a lot of dead people,I tryed to show folks but they look at you like a deer in the head ligts. I tryed to help and show meany 10 to 15 years ago.Oh well.

  • Let me make something perfectly Clear!.. The World will change in our lifetime. There is Way to much going on around the world to think otherwise. Be prepared, why not,. Sometimes you mention these (BOB's) to people and they are all dumbfounded because its a new idea and foreign to them. Who cares, might as well be prepared. And Please, 72 hours is Rubbish! Plan for items that will keep you Alive for as long as any situation will be. Criticl thinking will come into play then and later. PACK WELL

  • Kitchen sink?

  • Having seen a lot of dross on the subject of BOB's, This was well thought out and very helpfull, full of pertinent and concise info on the subject matter.Every time I go to sort out my gear I give this vid a rerun.

  • How do you feel about an alice pack

  • liked ya video ,hey did you ever see the film series why we fight from wwll ,if you can get it and youll see how today here is like it was in japan,italy,and germany,its scary but true i suggest everyone should watch it expecially the first two . prelude to war and nazi strike.
