Winner of a video, I have been researching "what's in a bug out gear backpack" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Pansaac Ideological Preeminence - (just google it ) ? It is an awesome exclusive guide for discovering how to collate your effective bug out plan for survival without the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my colleague got excellent results with it.

One thing my grandfather taught me ( born 1905) was bright orange or red for small items like knives and small tools. In the woods or any outdoors environment you can loose a knife or any tool you drop even right in front of you and then you are screwed. If you don't believe that - go get a camo or even just gunmetal knife or hand tool and drop it in the leaves in a woodland environment. Supposedly that is why Swiss Army knives are red. That is one of the best tips I have ever learned. Thank you for this video. I want a Bear Grills knife, although I have plenty of knives - nothing like that one. I bought the fire cord and other items you recommended in this video- thank you!

Sawyer mini (Water filter) 9. Emergency Tent 10. Mirror & Whistle I also have the SAS guide in my bag as well. Knowledge from the SAS guide will last forever not the items listed above.

He's not doing a bad job people. Its just to get us to think. Top 10 should be, IMO: 1) Knife, full tang, 3/8in thickness minimum and 1095 steel minimum. A sheath with sharpener should be with it and should not be counted as part the 10 items. If you are good with EDC then a secondary folder should be with you (Takes care of redundancy). 2) Fire starter, ferro rod, a nice thick one. 2 would be better. 3) Water purification device and container. A smart water bottle ain't bad and is light weight. Attached a Sawyer water filtration straw on it and you are good to go. In the wild you can create a filter out of gravel, sand, charcoal and some clothe in a plastic bottle for redundance if needed. 4) Shelter. A nice tarp, bivvy bag or a couple contractor garbage bags will work. a military bivy NSN: 8465-01-416-8517 works for me. 5) Cordage, 100 ft minimum 6) Something to cook with, stainless hopefully. 7) Clothes, Think polyester quick drying and neutral colors. 8) First aid, personal care. Each to their own. Docs on a USB, pics for moral support, books for those who don't know crap about surviving or who have never been camping. 9) Gun and ammo, I prefer 22s as they are light and u can carry a lot of ammo. 10) Compass with map of terrain you are bugging into. 11) MONEY or something to barter with for other items if needed

i was wondering what would be a good starter knife seems how i can't find the Mora knives because I have heard they are good. i live in Canada so gu laws are restrictive and I am 13 but wanna be prepared if poop hits the fancy and enough to help my family. i am also in cadets and they help and give us the items to make a micro survival kit that includes snare wire matches fishing supplies i.e. line hooks weights paper a signal mirror a small folding knife (I put a Swiss army knife so i can make a bow drill easier) some dryer lint with dog hair in it to help it catch if we have a Ferro rod and we can boil water with the soap container it is in with a hot rock in the container although it won't be lots they teach us other wase to filter safety pins for fishing hooks in a pinch and I think that is it and I always have that in my pocket so if I somehow get lost i will be able to survive. and that is full and I might have forgot something

This is an interesting video. Thanks for sharing. Although I disagree with some of your choices. Here are the top 10 items I would bring: 1. Water filter 2. Small axe / hatchet 3. Fire starter 4. 10-day Food rations 5. Tent / tarp / shelter 6. Sleeping bag 7. Hunting rifle / bow 8. Lightweight cooking pot 9. Warm clothes 10. Inflatable air mattress The most difficult part of surviving will be to find food. Without some rations to give you energy past the first day and a means to acquire more like a rifle or bow, it will be extremely difficult to stay alive. Anyone who has watched any of the survival TV shows knows that it is always hunger that takes everyone out. I did not see any food rations or means to acquire more food in your list. My bug out bag looks less like a zombie apocalypse survival kit and more like a wilderness living starter kit. I think this is more realistic. But thanks for the video and I hope you keep making more. Best!

As a scout leader and a full time survival guide, I teach kids survival, and often ask them to put together a top ten "bug out" bag. though your bug out bag was interesting and well prepared, one major omission from your bug out bag... that first meal. emergency rations, bug out food would be in MY top ten. even simple glucose tablets would tide you over/ give you the energy to continue. but all in all... nice video, well presented and well thought out. well done

Just a couple personal suggestions (I'm still putting mine together) but on the knife, Schrade SCHF52 runs about $35 on Amazon and comes with a diamond sharpener and a nice ferro rod. It's full-tang and all the reviews I've seen on it have been accurate. That knife is as advertised. In terms of firestarting, a couple of things I did was (this one is messy as hell) I stuck some cotton balls in vaseline and made sure that they were covered in it. I stuffed those into a large pill bottle that was empty. I took a smaller pill bottle and stuffed it with cotton balls and added 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and let it soak. I kept packing them down and soaking until I was certain I couldn't fit anymore and then sealed the hell out of both bottles with electrical tape and then tossed those into my current bag. Throw a spark on one of those cotton balls and watch it go up. I'm still working on a name for my own KZitem Channel but when I get done, I'll happily feature it.

I'm always In two minds about camouflage clothing in a bug out situation, it seems a bit too tactical and could attract just as much attention as civilian clothing.

I think this is a very well thought out "First Ten". I do have a couple of comments though. 1. Your metal bottle should hold a full 2qts. This is important, especially in an emergency when you may be starting out in a somewhat dehydrated state (watch my channel for a video on a disaster I had, in part, due to this). 2. Although your water purification choices are all sound, I would also add the option of the Sawyer Mini, which is hands down the best pack sized filter I ever had. 3. A Tarp is extremely important, and I include one in every kit, but with the theme being the "First Ten", I would opt for a large military poncho that is designed to be set up as a small shelter as well. This gives a multi-function shelter that can be used in a greater number of configurations than a tarp alone. Then you have the ability to move in adverse conditions if need be, and still be shielded from the wind and rain. 4. Lastly, if you must stick to the number "10" for this, I would rather see some layering options, over the radio. I ALWAYS have a good hoodie in my pack. I have two choices. one is my old fur lined synthetic fleece hoodie, which is really warm, by normal hoodie standards, or my wool army blanket hoodie. With it, I would keep a wool cap, glove liners, and a pair of wool sox (or two).

1) You don't need a 2 qt metal water bottle. My bottle only holds 25oz, but I do have a gallon of water in the trunk of my car (where the bag is kept) plus a 2L bottle filled with water in my bag. If I ever need my BOB I either fill up my water bottle plus 2 collapsible bottles using the gallon in my car if possible, or the 2L in my bag if I don't have time to fill up with the gallon. 2) Agreed, have one myself 3) Agreed 4) Most people have spare hoodies, jackets, pants, shirts, socks etc, so you don't really need to purchase any extra.

I trained with the army and air force in both summer and winter survival classes. One of the key focus points AFTER you have secured water, shelter, checked over your traps, firewood, and rescue markers, etc. was to keep the mind occupied. Loneliness leads to despair which leads to dead after time. A well done video for the new pepper and dome well thought out points for the veteran survivalist.

bug out to where ? when poo hits the fan people will become primitive , savage, and dangerous . traveling will be risky during the day , specially if you are seen packing around things no one else has but desperately needs , hint . move at night, stay out of large groups of people, trust no one . set up a hub, and a back hub, always use the same route in, never use the frontside keep it concealed fom view, go around back.your gonna need defense, food, fire and wits. a mountain near a river, near thick woods might give you a chance, yoou can see people coming from distance, know the area , be quiet, flow with nature, watch the animals, good luck, all your prepping items do no good if you dont stay alive, #1rule-stay alive .

And to think I tried to buy that same knife w/o the serrated blade. I don't know how I'll ever sharpen it though. I have to say that B.

Adding to what I have below I want to agree on #10 most heartily. Most of these are crap but you need this, just find a good solid one and gift out the rejects. On AM it can be used as a radio-compass too. Rotate it until the signal is lowest or gone; the bar antenna inside will be in line with the transmitter you're tuned to. Mark that line on the ground. Now tune to another station from a different direction and do the same thing. Between the two you can figure roughly where you are. At night, distant signals may 'skip' and be less accurate. By law radio stations transmit their location hourly or more, usually very near the top of the hour. You can hear static crashes of lightning strikes in thunderstorms so far away you can't see them, allowing you to be prepared before they hit. If that static turns into a loudening more constant hiss, a tornado is nearby. And some even have weather band coverage. It's a must-have unless you've got it covered another way.

If you can start a fire, you can boil water to purify it. For that reason, I would place more importance on some kind of fire starting device above water filtration. That's not to say that some kind of water filtration system wouldn't be nice, but not required for survival. You can even make your own water purification system by using rocks, sand and charcoal left over from your fires. With a full size Bic lighter you can start around 500 fires. That would last much longer than a month. Ferro rods are advantageous in that they will start fires in wind as well as extremely cold weather, so I like to carry them as an alternate source of fore starting. I do like your idea of attaching florescent cord to items you don't want to lose. The SAS Survival guide is also a great item since most of us will never recall all survival techniques when we really need them.

although i agree that that you need more than just a lighter i wanted to point out that i think it will last way longer than you described if you have a proper birds nest when lighting your bic should last 2 to 3 mos if used only to light 1 or 2 fires a day and you manage to protect it from breakage or letting all the fluid out, basing this on the fact that a bic last me over a mo and i smoke 2 packs a day and light torches at work all the time

I would ditch the radio in favor of a head lamp or flash light. The head lamp is much more practical in my experience. Also I would want something for signaling like a mirror or flares. The Victornox Swiss army knife has more features that I use than a full size knife and I feel the same about Letherman type tools being more practical than a full size knife. That being said I have had good luck with the Mora knife when camping.

For your first aid kit, I suggest that you substitute Betadine or Povidone Iodine ointment for the alcohol wipes even though it is messy. Povidone Iodine solution is used in the ER and as the surgical prep of choice. The ointment vehicle is a mess of course but substitutes for your triple antibiotic or Neosporin ointment also which commonly causes a contact allergy which people mistake for an infection. Infections are PAINFUL, red, swollen and LOSS OF Function of the body part but NOT ITCHY.

I also carry a pocket guide and a crank radio for the same reasons that you do. The people that would think that this is dumb they will figure this out the hard way.

1) Knife (fixed and folding). Find the ones that are right for you. Research brand names. Need to be able to cut wood, cordage, etc etc. 2) Water purification and filtration and carrying. Sawyer filters are better than Lifestraw. Research. Purification tablets also. Have multiple ways/levels to filtrate and purify. 3) Fire starting kit. Have several ways to start a fire. There are more options that what was in the video. Research. 4) First aid kit. Build-your-own or buy built. But also understand HOW to use all that is in the kit. Add pain meds (tylenol, aspirin, etc), anti-diahrreals, etc. Feminine products for us gals. Toilet paper. The last 2 are short term obviously. 5) Cookware. A simple Coleman kit from Walmart for $13 gives you a way to cook small simple meals. Don't forget utensils (spork, etc). 6) Light. Flashlight, Luci light, headlamp, whatever. Make sure you have batteries if your choice requires them. Focus on solar if at all possible. 7) Protection: a tent/tarp system, hammock/sleeping bag system, etc. Make sure you have all accessories like ties, clamps, etc. Practice setting one up, will be hard in a windy/rainy/cold environment if doing it for the first time then. 8) Food: small amount of candies for comfort, dehydrated food is easiest (Mountain house et al) ... focus on protein and fats to build/maintain muscle and to sustain you for longer periods of time between meals. Small amount of carbs - too much and you'll be hungrier sooner. Don't forget packets to flavor water, instant coffee, or tea bags to change up drinking plain water all the time. 9) Clothing: Think about the region you live in. You may need to change the type of clothing in your bag a few times a year to accommodate the weather. 1 pair of pants, 1 shirt, 2 underwear, 2-3 socks. View videos on how to fold/roll these to smallest package so as not to take up too much room in your pack. 10) Tools: A multi-tool like a Leatherman (look up their website for research) will have much of what you will need. Can opener, screwdriver, tweezers, etc. Think of things you might need and try to find them in 1-2 tools. 11) NOW, get a bag that will have the room for all these things .... fits your body frame ... is one you can wear for hours/days at a time comfortably .... has room to add more/expand onto ... fits your environment (bushcraft, gray man/urban, etc). ---Naturally, I may have left out some important things. But hard to fit them into 10. Once you have the basics, expand out on things that YOU will need. No 2 bags will every be the same. And, you will frequently be adjusting your items as you learn more and more.

The crank radio in my area is the number one item in my bag as there are industrial sectors as well as the threat of tornados in the summertime. Other than that I totally agree with you on this list as these are pretty much what I keep in my bag, minus the survival guide as I replaced that with training and knowledge. However I will look into the emergency pamphlets you mentioned as backups.

I put my clothes in a vacuum bag. It's large for storage but compresses my clothes into a small space while keeping them dry. You don't need a vacuum to compress them.

Well not a bad list I'd add hand germ killer to your first aid. Not only can you use it to clean wounds or your hands but it can aid in fire starting in wet conditions. It's mostly rubbing alcohol and burns nice with just a few drops. Depending on the brand you can drop it on vaseline and wet tinder and it will start a fire.

I'd definitely keep the trauma first aid equipment regarding gunshot wounds/piercing wounds. Never know if you'll get in a scrape with somebody trying to get your stuff. My packs and clothes will always be grey man. Just simple earth tones with useful features like waterproofing in the shoes, etc.

* My white Pashmina is EXCELLENT at deflecting the hot summer sun off my arms and legs riding in the car.* *Also Carry a First-Aid Kit plus a How-To BOOK On Giving Appropriate/Correct First-Aid! I would also include a XL Triangle Cotton Cravat Bandage ; mine are 68 inches by 36 inches by 36 inches...buy a square yard of 100% Cotton Fabric and fold over to make a triangle and cut then hem or sew up the edges (You DO NOT Want Iy To Fray/Come Apart Literally AT THE SEEMS)!* My minimum traveling carry gear is 25+ things. I always carry this gear when I go to my doctor’s appointments or just out and about. I have medical needs, so.

the reason people don't like that BG ultimate knife is because the early models where not full tang and the back end had a habit of breaking off. They have updated full tang models now, but the reputation still stuck.

the morakniv companion or that style knife is a rat tail tang but with the heavy duty plastic still really good for beginners but not good for batoning wood type camp tasks full tang is ideal and by the way I enjoy your videos thanks

A knife from Roadeavour, bug lotion, water bottles, a jacket and a tent would be enough for me to survive in the wild for days. Protein bars too and beef jerky for emergency food in case hunting would be difficult.
