That truck is disgustingly clean and tidy.

A good signaling item is those cheap little colored smoke bombs you can get during firework seasons. What would be easier to see other than a huge bright orange and blue and purple cloud of smoke coming out of the trees?

I like how you put things to the test !

Great set up and kits...

[galkinator]

Why not pack a tarp or at least a space blanket for emergency shelter etc? And in the winter it's good to have a wool blanket too. No reason not to - you've got room in the vehicle.

My traveling bag consists of gauze, duct tape, a ka-bar, a wrench, and iodine tablets. At the end of the day, that's all you really need. Everything else is a luxury.

Candles are good to warm yourself if you're stuck in a car during winter. Those small rounded white candles that come in a metal cup are the best (I think they're usually used to do fondue.

which backpack do you think i should buy, this arcteryx mantis or a maxpedtion falcon 2 pygmy? gonna use it as an edc bag / day pack thanks

You should add a magnifying glass to your kit. There are so many applications that it could come in handy for.

Dear Packrat556 i have a great kit im making for te winter becuase of ur idea with the extra clothes and other stuff Also i have a video with my main kit so please watch and comment

[1foolishguy]

I might be mistaken but I did not see any para cord

[pkdiddy]

Nice job on the kit. Looks like you have all the "must haves" covered. Much more that what you've got and you cross into the "nice to have" territory.

[bassie1944]

a reflector vest and a (space) blanket i case of you need to stay long in your car

[kessler003]

[summersong100]

good vid. very practical stuff, nothing crazy as I sometimes see in other folks' vids.

[mrmotownmadness89]

You sir are extremely prepared for anything with that kit. Love the Arcteryx pack you have too, quality stuff. One day I'll have something similar

[Survivinator]

Nice

Hi Packrat thanks for sharing whats in your bag. I noticed you did not have much for shelter such as a tarp and sometype of heat retainment like a sleeping bag or wool blanket. I know you have the black garbage bag. Is this becasue of the area your in or just a diffrent outlook to what you will need. I carry basic shelter items and less food, my pack weighs in at 20 pounds without the water.Thanks, Steve.

¡Great!



[bodiemyers]

I would maybe include a good tarp to go with the bag and poncho it may seem like a redundancy but the bags rip on me in windy situations other than that ...... man you have it all great vid thanks for posting.... side note i live in such a crappy neighborhood that if i leave a bag in my car it would be gone in record time hahaha

[shady610]

I think most people overlook some sort of entertainment aspect. A book or something to use to relax during down time.

[nemesisomen]

good vid as always thank you for what you do

[hashashin821]

I was looking at those water bottles in WM the other day and the label said not to put hot liquid. Have you tested it out by boiling water in it? Just wondering

[KevinMichaelMichael]

thanks for the video, no doubt you are well prepared for emergencies, Take care!
