 Hey everyone Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense and we are back with another edition of the Minuteman gear series where we continue to explore the gear and gear setups that the modern Minuteman should have. So today we're going to talk about a 24 hour pack. Now I would like to preface this video with two things. First thing is earlier in the series I think like the second episode we talked about this exact same bag and at that point I had it set up as kind of my three day rock. I had some more pouches on it, I had some more stuff in it and I had it over stuffed for a three day run that I just barely by the skin of my teeth could make it work. However I have since moved to a Crossfire DG3 bag which is a little bit bigger, has a frame, carries the weight phenomenally well and eventually I will update the series with that bag and kind of my current three day loadout. I'm just waiting on that because I want some more time on that bag because I'm going to do a review of it at the same time. But I think in general my made up opinion you should have a good three day bag that you can kind of go out and rumble and tumble for you know three-ish days maybe more and then you should have a good smaller 24 hour bag that you could basically get through you know the rest of the day overnight into tomorrow a little bit and be able to carry enough stuff to be able to make it through those 24 hours. So I just asked that if you haven't fallen the series you're not like confused and think oh wait a second that's the same bag and I thought just you have a brain you're really smart people I know you are. This is a 24 hour bag so let's go through what's in it. Okay like all things on this series this is just an iteration I'm sure it will change and would of course adapt as needed and to be honest it's not like I've run this one a lot I mostly put this together as representative of things that I would have in my 24 hour bag. So first things first I have magazines because hey you got to have bullets. I'm a huge fan of carrying magazines, water, medical and food on the external pouches as much as possible that doesn't always work out but as much as you can you know those would be the things that you'd have to just go and grab quick so I try to keep those things external when I can again doesn't always work out but that's what I shoot for. So four magazines off the back because you have an extra four is always good. Remember this would be in conjunction with other kits right so you'd be wearing a chest rig or your battle rattle or plates or whatever this would either be stashed in a vehicle as your vehicle go bag or like I said kind of your 24 hour sustainment bag but four magazines off the back these are just pouches for canteens of course so right now you know I just have the USGI canteen in there. When it comes to bag setups like this I'm always a big fan of lots of molly so that you can mount more stuff. Okay coming down here so here's real simple right I just got a notebook for all the notebook-y stuff marker a couple pens one of those is a right in the rain fisher pen in here I have extra plastic bags because you never know you might need extra plastic bags garbage collection of other stuff water whatever just extra plastic bags and that's it for that one. Getting into the main section of the bag so this is basically stuff that I have all mined from my three-day bag right I usually keep my three-day bag packed and then I would fill this one as needed that's kind of how I work it so this is just one I'm already obviously it's representative it's pretty clear here I have more room to fit more of those in right I probably put two or three of those in but this is just representative that you know you need food in the bank I put my schmog in here because I always want to have my schmog there's a gazillion uses for this by people who are a lot smarter of the way of the schmog than me but that's here because you need that extra t-shirt because you don't want at least one t-shirt I think you really only need one for the 24 hours right but I having a good change of t-shirt will be in there underwear I have a couple pairs of underwear honestly this is what I just grabbed on my three-day pack so I think there are three in here but you can't have too many of those in socks always carry extra underwear in socks because those things are what you're going to need to change the most my socks are up here right here I have more medical so for here I just put a dark angel ifac along with a ratchet tourniquet again I prefer to have the medical on the outside of the bag but that's where it kind of fit pretty convenient on this bag so that's where it went remember this is in addition to your normal i fact that you're carrying on your kit you don't have to have extra medical but I always just like to because hey that's one thing's bullets water medical are things you can never have too much of in this pocket here this is an emergency bivvy so I believe this is from sol gear and this is yes this is the sol escape bivvy and it's this color it's this green and it folds down to this little pouch here and I like this because this is the only kind of sleeping gear I have in this bag I do not have a sleeping bag I do not have a sleeping pad I do not have anything like that again this is short duration 24 hours or less and so this is mostly like if I need to actually sleep or if I need to not freeze to death this is going to help me do that right but there's no other sleeping gear in this bag again I'm assuming it's going to be 24 hours or less I'm putting on the clothes I got I'm putting on the kid I got and this is just if I have to hunker down for a while or there's a really bad rainstorm or windstorm or snowstorm or whatever this is going to help me do that so I have some kind of small emergency type gear in here and also you know if I just need if we got a couple hours and I can sleep this is what I'll try to use again don't have a sleeping pad so I might be cold but I wanted to have at least something so that I can make that happen because it's 24 hour pack and or a go bag out of a car I wanted to try to keep it as trim as possible I don't want a sleeping pad or other things hanging off of it so that was the thought behind having the escape baby down here I have wet wipes because again you can always need you always need wet wipes carry lots of wet wipes in general I don't have like a hygiene kit in here right like with a toothbrush and all that stuff because again much shorter duration so this is actually the lid off of my dg5 and I just took the entire lid off and threw it in here one because I have the space I don't really need to like be super trying to trim things down but two and more importantly it allows me to organize all the little things that I carry in my other bag that I would also need in this bag so things like paracord right here's a brand new unopened 50 foot hank a paracord because hey you need that uh an extra antenna for my radio because I carry the big flop antenna and sometimes I want to swap out to the little one uh extra cr123 batteries and mre spoon here's just some extra duct tape that I've wrapped around an old hotel key a lens cleaner thing i'm a jig because you need that for your glasses your optics your night vision whatever more c123 batteries because you don't want to get run out of those otherwise we're going to be in a world of hurt a red and sharpie because you need sharpies that's all on this side flipping it over to the top chem lights because having extra chem lights is always good couple zip ties and a couple bungees just for other gear stuff a orange little signal flag thing so this is just for signaling in case you needed to have some kind of identification panel you know you could have one of those full fold out vs 17 panels or whatever but I just have this a beanie because you always want to have a little hat to be able to throw on in case you get cold the matter of the time of the year because even in the summer it can get cold at night and this can save you okay that was all in the top part here now we'll go to the second one and in here remember earlier when I said I don't have like a little hygiene kit well I lied I do have some mouthwash I do have some body powder because that's important I do have chapstick because that is also very important and then I have tape I have general athletic tape can never have too much of that and then this is a tape for getting blisters cuts stuff like that this stuff is super sticky this is luco tape is what this is called I've used this before this stuff is fantastic doesn't strap very well very tough to come off and if you put it in sensitive places like if your legs are rubbing together and you put it on the inside of your thigh when you take this off later you will cry fun story I have a headlamp because you can never not need a headlamp this of course is I just have the red lens in there right now because again if you're looking in the pack or you want to read your map or whatever having a red headlamp is always a good idea so that is it that is my 24 hour bag this backpack in case you're wondering this is the first tactical I believe this is their 24 hour version love this bag I think it's super cool it does it is velcro lined on this side so if I wanted to get velcro pouches and put things in here to better organize I could totally do that again just to reiterate I do think you should have a good three-day bag and that you should then leech off of to create your 24 bag as needed you don't necessarily need to have duplicates although hey if you want to you can this is America knock yourself up hope that was helpful hope that gives you some more ideas for how you should set up your sustainability kit and different variations you can have do brave deeds and endure
