I'm CERT trained and feel you have a few items not mentioned let alone noted. 1) Say no to salty foods in your kit as the more salt - the more water you need to store. 2) First Aid kits are inexpensive, 3) Pets need water too! For every large dog - at least 1 bottle per day. Smaller dogs or cats about 1/2 a bottle should work. It also depends upon the dog or cats health as well. 4) Compass - In an emergency if street signs & buildings are down - actually finding a place will be hard if you don't know the direction. 5) Do not think your cell phone will do local calls. Always have a long distance buddy to call for your family to check-in with. That person can relay any message you have for other people besides giving peace of mind that others in your family are safe too. Lastly, the kit can be put into anything - except that duffle and huge bag shown in the video. The contents needs to be visible without anything having to be rearranged too much. Keep it easy to get into when needed.

It is important to practice emergency skills. This information is an excellent summary for the basics. Another way to help in a disaster situation is to obtain an amateur radio license and field day with your club every year to practice these skills. Radio operators provide emergency communications until commercial channels are restored. Another excellent episode guys! :)

When I was in 8th grade I was at a party and the guy across the street pulled into his driveway and hit a support for his car port. We all thought hes drunk and continued on until a lady across the street flagged me over I ran over and grabbed a couple of people and we pulled a very large (350lbs) guy out of his truck. He was blue and not breathing. None of us knew CPR. What was awful was 3 days later we started CPR in gym class. The guy did pass away. It made me actually pay attention in that cpr class though.

someone commented this already but, multi tools are quite useful and important. My dad gave me his old victorinox swiss army pocket tool. I didn't expect much from since it was pretty old, about 23 yrs old. That said, I never realised how many times I've used whenever I go archery, camping, trekking, and university/college those things are so durable. So invest in a good multi tool, cause those things are a life saver.

For the sleeping bag, they make emergency sleeping bags out of the same stuff as the emergency blankets. Extremely light and warm. When I would teach emergency preparedness, I would have someone clime into one. Within 5 minutes they are asking to climb out because they are sweating. They are cheap, only about 5 dollars.

Bivvy Sacks are some of the best options as it can keep you and your sleeping bag dry in many adverse situations. Also, getting a GMRS or amateur radio license is pretty easy to do. GMRS requires no test and it's not even funny how easy it is to pass the Technician test for a ham (amateur radio) license. Better coms sometimes than a cell phone in an emergency.

To start with a pocket knife, LED flashlight w/ batteries, water filter, water storage container, compact fuel stove w/ fuel canister should be at the top of any bug out gear list. There are also other important items that should follow like a good first aid kit but that's a whole video in itself as it must be tailor built by the individual rather than bought at a store as medicine needs differ from person to person. Building a system will give one expanded capabilities and preparedness: 1) day pack for priority items like those above, 2) a duffel bag or even a hiking pack (get one with a day pack strapped to the top to take the place of #1 listed pack), 3) storage container for holding larger items like that portable potty unit Patrick featured. And when SHTF hits you go after (in order of priority) the day pack and so on.

Hey Patrick, I know you are a fan of photojojo, they have a couple things that can be used as emergency batteries for your phone, The Power Pot, which requires heat, but can help you cook stuff, and the Solio, which is solar powered, but can also be charged through USB while you do have power. The negative side is that they don't offer any other benefit like flashlight nor radio. I've also been thinking about buying a dynamo for my bike, since my arms are weak. On that note, how about emergency apps? I have a first aid/survival one, and one that tells me how to cook anything, both store all info in my device so I don't rely on the cloud. On the comms side, am/fm radio provides helpful info if anyone is broadcasting, but it's one way, how about keeping some old school long range walkie talkies charged and ready at all times? If you have family near you, you can have them all keep one, and agree on a channel to communicate in case of emergency. During the last quake here in Napa, almost everyone I know, with different carriers, and different phones, all told me their phones showed they had a good connection, but they couldn't make or receive calls.

Awesome video and really important, too. I think a lot of people prepare for disasters after the disaster has already happened, so it's good to remind people to get this together BEFORE. I would also bring cash, some kind of knife (Swiss army, small hand knife, something sharp), and tough nylon rope (you never know when you need to haul something or someone out of danger, plus it's just good for hanging stuff up). Spare towels can also make a big difference if you have space and can be used as extra blankets or tourniquets.

I HAVE all my important papers in a vaccumed pac bag and then in a ziplock bag wrapped in heavy duty duct tape so they are extra safe from getting wet and destroyed if by bad luck it all turns to custard and the emergency pack is broken open and weather extremes take things away. also a gd way to store water is in the deep freezer filtered water in buckets or bottles with a teaspoon of bleach will keep water healthy for up to 6 months stored if you can vac pac your own meals or dehaydrate and vacpac meals it saves space and is easier to cook a full meal by adding liquid and reheating or boil in the bag type method

one important thing you guys for God was some kind of water filtration unit. even something as simple as the life straw could potentially save your life if water is contaminated. there are tons of portable light weight water filtration units out there. also it is very important to note that pounds equal pain. if you're going to make a heavy bug out bag you have to practice hauling that thing around. where your bug out bag and go for a hike I guarantee by the time you get back... you're going to wonder do I really need that in my bag and you're also going to wonder can I get something similar that's not as heavy. also do not forget the point of a bug out bag. the bag is meant to help you get from point A to point B. B being your home or some predesignated point with supplies. oh and one other thing you didn't have any form of a weapon. you need to have something in there to defend yourself Weatherby Chemical pepper spray a gun an axe or just a good solid club.
