one thing I would put in any bag that I could be out and have to survive for a long time is a second pair of socks. because if your out running around or if it's just hot your feet could get wet or sweaty and that can cause foot fungus. you always take care of your feet.

Oh no kidding. I remember getting to Afghanistan with brand new boots (The camel color) and had a huge blister on my foot... kind of like where if it were the hand, it'd be below where the middle finger is. Then, deciding to keep going, ended up getting a blister inside that one. I had no idea that was possible.

yep no rifle is worth ashit w/ out a cleaning kit.... a decent one at that. people go for the sectioned rod kits for bags.... I personally would never stick one down the barrel of any of my weapons. Not a big fan of the snakes either but I keep them in my bag for the simple fact they pack easier than a rod. At home use a full length rod.... on the move, have and know how to use a snake.... sectional rod, only use if you get dropped in the jungle into a swamp and your rifle was buried in the mud and that sectional rod was the only thing you had to clean the bore with lol

Excellent review Sootch! My 2 cents. Of all the bags you may create and deploy, this is the bag that stands the least chance of every being deployed, so build the bag accordingly. Its one of those bags you "set it and forget it". The chances theres a situation where you need to be walking around town with body armor and an AR15 with 10 magazines on you is pretty much slim and none. The far more likely situation is grid issues, hydration, food, medical, currency, etc and you're staying put in your house and holing up. Because 99 times out of 100, you're better off staying put than bugging out anyway. Roof over your head, neighbors to combine vigilance and safety, location familiarity, comfort of home, and massive existing stockpiles of stuff you dont have to carry anywhere. And its far easier to protect oneself in their own home than it is walking through urban streets or bushes. The only time you are literally gonna abandon all hope and hit the road and grab a Minuteman Bag is when you are about 3-4 hours from feeling like you will be as dead as fried chicken unless you leave the house. We are talking Russian paratroopers, dirty bombs, gas, terrorists, LA Riots, massive fire or earthquake, i.e. your current location is a veritable death zone. But, the chance that ever happens is infinitesimally small. If you cant afford to put together a Minuteman Bag, Id focus on other bags and just stockpiling/fortifying your current residence. When in doubt, always stay where you are if you can. Even when things get ugly. If you got the bucks however, definitely create a MM Bag. Since its the absolute last straw sort of bag, you cant "overdo it". Its a truly live or die, kill or be killed, armageddon, hell on earth, every man woman and child for themselves sort of situation where the only rule is there are no rules. Not even humanitarian ones. Its a Red Dawn bag.

Not sure what this Minuteman stuff is all about but: *For Civilians & even ex-military in the USA during a major emergency* I think (IMO) to survive in an armed conflict, a full on disaster, terrorist attack, etc. is: - 1st not to get into it. Disappear into the mountains or forest until it is over (hopeful that is soon) - If you have no choice to get into it.. you are probably finished anyway but having the gear in this video "modified" or non-military-ish will help you survive... hopefully. What I mean by "modified" or non-military is in the event of an emergency of - terrorism do you want to be the one running around in full-on military gear & showing your black rifles? - a natural disaster like Katrina do you want thugs & LEOs to see you in camo clothes & gear? - if there is someone shooting people in your area & you have to leave do you want a Combat Kit that screams: I got survival gear, guns, & ammo right here. You may be easily be confused with the one they are looking for. If you are a minority you are in an even worse position i.e stereotyped. So your "Minuteman Load out Combat Kit *for safety and in order not to draw attention* to yourself, MAKE IT LOOK NON-MILITARY. The load out above is *like wearing a big target on your back.* Go non-military or modified: - wear IWB you handgun. Make it a surprise to bad guys if they target you. This gives you the edge. - wear a rainbow pack or an old worn pack that no one would want to try to take it from you. - Put peace signs and hippie type patches on to show Police & Bad guys you might not but armed & hostile. - Do not wear a military helmet! Wear a construction blue or white non-military looking helmet. - Go with a kukri. A parang is OK but the kukri is a better fighter & more versatile in the woods. The biggest mistake us men make it to go the military equipment route in surviving a disaster of any sort. *Go undercover, non-treatening, and camouflaged as a normal citizen.* Blend in. Drawing attention to yourself will get you disarmed at best and is lethal at worst from LEOs & bad guys. FOOD for THOUGHT.

giganofell Interesting that you can say: "Normally the people with load outs will be able to Handle there own." This Load Out is what we are agreeing on. So I do not get the sarcasm. Since no one can know what the future holds, what kind of natural disaster, terrorist attack, 9/11, Florida, Dallas, etc. by retreating to a safe place like a safe room, a mountain cave, the deep woods and waiting the emergency or disaster out is the goal. When you say "Handle there own" I hope you aren't talking about offense and actually trying to win some kind of battle. Because that is a little strange to think that way and very deadly. Anyway, I am not being negative to you by saying: *you will stick out like a sore thump in a serious situation* in full-battle gear & kevlar helmet a lot more than I, in a rainbow color pack and blue jeans/ T-shirt with a bike helmet. Brother there are all kinds of camouflage: The smart kind and the not so smart or right kind. Food for thought.

The only ones looking like wanna be IRL bad asses are the ones who have no experience or way of knowing, yet have the balls to explain in detail how the exact events and situations will unfold with absolute certainty on how to dominate the situation. All because what? they watched a few reality TV survival shows and the Walking Dead?! Blind leading the fucking blind. lmao Your logic is broken, this whole fad is broken. This is just a theory, to say other wise is ignorant at best. Its a joke, as is most of this operator commando tuff guy bull shit people do and feel the need to constantly utterly justify because even them, deep down know its utter bull crap. Stop playing dress up and get a clue already. Its just getting pathetic at this point.

The original JPC is $250 and has a very low profile and protects all your essential organs without taking up too much space. I use a Tyr Tactical SOF-IFAK and find it to be the best IFAK in its class. I utilize nearly exclusively Tyr Tactical or Crye Precision equipment and pouches because of the materials both companies use. Tyr is lower in price and beats out most of the competition in durability and longevity in harsh environs. I appreciate your attention to detail and the very comprehensive loadout you put together in what is essentially a gym bag.

Then take your chest rig put it on top, but you have all that extra space where your boots are. So you will then put your mags where they can fit. Your rifle go on top of your chest rig and the side pouch where the handgun is put a belt that can fold up their and have the handgun and ammo in the bag. Your med kits fill up the extra side space you will have and their it is more organized and able to fit things a lot better.

AR-15's are not assault rifles. They are Arma-Lite Rifles. Thats how they recieved their AR designation. Assault is an act committed by a person. A firearm is categorized based on the sum of its components not the intent of the individual wielding it. By calling modern sporting rifles that bear a resemblance to military firearms "assault weapons" you are perpetuating misinformation from ill informed people. Do us all a favor and call the firearm what it is.

An "assault rifle" has a very specific definition. It's a rifle that uses and intermediate cartridge, features a detachable magazine and, most importantly, is SELECT FIRE. That means it has a "giggle switch" that allows it to be switched from Safe to Semi-Automatic to Full-Automatic fire. If you don't believe me, go ask the DoD about it. If the rifle lacks any of these attributes then it is not an "assault rifle". A civvie AR doesn't have a giggle switch and therefore is not an "assault rifle", it's just a rifle that happens to look similar to an assault rifle. Now, you CAN own a real, honest to God "assault rifle" in the United States. It requires that you find one made or imported before 1986, pay upwards of $40K for it, fill out a ton of BATFE paperwork (Form 4, fingerprints, photographs and some other odds and ends), pay the government $200 and wait for them to process the paperwork (as of this writing about 9-10 months). "Assault weapon" is a made up term. It doesn't exist and is only meant to confuse the issue.

Apparently in America. Usually you are required to remove one vital part of any firearm to prevent a maniac from using it on you or nearby people. And another good question, why do you need to have an assault rifle as personal weapon? Since it is originally designed for military personell, why should ordinary citizens own assault rifles? I like guns, they're fun to shoot and everything but that's about it. If my country gets invaded, I'll just sit back with my beer and wait until the invaders asses gets frostbite or eaten by polarbears.

krykkatorix Have you ever shot a twelve gauge? Most inexperienced shooters can't stand the kick let alone be accurate with it. And at a close range shotguns don't have as much of a spread as you think so you can still miss if you don't know what you're doing. Also, I don't have to worry about my neighbors because I have my ar 15 so if anyone tries to break in and harm my family they're gonna get a bullet through their skull.

Now the ear muffs that you were talking about are good if your at the range, but you said it your self this is a fighting bag, ear muffs can get in the way fall off your head and be a general inconvenience, and the sound that it "amplifies" is non-directional and in a combat or SHTF situation you want to know what direction your enemy is coming or shooting at you from. Great bag, and keep up the good content. :)

Also I might try and find a way to shove some extra boxes rifle ammunition just in case, and I did not see a cleaning kit in your kit, might also want to add one it two of those. Hand grenades would come in handy as well... If you have a few laying around ;)

Sootch: I subscribed over a month ago and I'm so glad I found you, I can tell you've got a lot of knowledge to offer and I'm looking forward to watching your other videos. Thought you and other's might like to hear my load out that's evolved over 2 years of extensive backpacking. I was thinking that being anywhere near a city, medium or big would be pure suicide in most SHTF scenarios. My kit is centered around an extended stay in the mountains. Granted I live at 5k Ft. elavation, and the environment is nearly identical to Afghanistan. That being said, I'm very picky about the weight of my pack and the capabilities it contains; I'm also thinking highly of camouflage. I've hiked with my extended stay loadout less than a hundred times on both overnight and multiple day backpacking trips, and I've really narrowed down what's best for my situation. First, a chest rig is paramount to a plate carrier, I'm very confident I won't be shot at ever, and the weight and cost just isn't worth it, the cleared back of a quality chest rig (Coyote EAGLE RRV) makes carrying a 70lb backpack much more comfortable when it's on your back for days on end. On the Chest rig I carry: 6 double stacked Colt GI mags, 3 extended GLOCK 9mm mags, 2 normal capacity 9mm mags, a level 2 medic kit, a canteen, a Cold Steel SRK, and an admin pouch. My Glock 17 is in a closed top drop leg holster, all loaded with hollow points. The backpack I bought was a Kelty Falcon in Coyote Brown, it's essential that you have an aluminum frame pack to distribute all that backbreaking weight, and the color is outstanding for my environment and goes with my chest rig. In the backpack I've got all the essentials I'll need for my area, which is quite a lot considering I'm in the mountainous and desert climate; this comment is long enough and I don't want to go into details of my pack. I've got Tri-desert camo clothing for summer, and Multicam for winter; both coincide well with the coyote brown chest rig and backpack, and do outstandingly well in my area. My primary is a suppressed Kel-Tec SU-16C, 4.7 lb. collapsible 5.56 NATO semi auto with a 3-9x40 Leupold scope, the rifle also takes .223 but shoots more accurately with 5.56. A rifle chambered for .223 cannot take 5.56 NATO, it would destroy your rifle; a very heavy downside to most AR-15's, not to mention the weight of them. .22lr is too underpowered for any combat scenario IMO, the availability is rough right now, and .223 is pushing it in terms of size; the weight and size of .308 and 7.62x39 is too much to handle for extended stay. I hope anyone that read this finds this helpful and useful.

As far as your general concept for a minuteman bag, it's something similar to what I do. (But you've got way better equipment, and I'd bet a proportionally better supply of funds.) I keep my 2nd tier equipment in the trunk, and my 1st tier equipment at home. Either can be a redundancy for the other, or an extra set to equip someone else. Instead of a bag, my 2nd tier equipment is in a Rubbermaid container. Among the contents is a box of baking soda packaged for use as a refrigerator deodorizer to serve as a dessicate.
@richard6133
9 жыл бұрын
Yes, you're correct that baking soda is among the many multi-purpose supplies that I have in my car's equipment inventory, although it is being deliberately exposed to the moisture in the air in the sealed container in order to absorb it and keep the items dry. Naturally, I'm not going to do a bag-drag and show or list my full inventory, because I don't do videos and there's not enough people reading this for me to type it all out. But of the items you mention, I carry six of those specifically. For the rest, I have different items to fulfill the same roles, except for fuel. The problem is that of HAZMAT, and my car being a family car. I have yet to find a container, simple or advanced, that does not at some point either leak fuel or vent fumes; both very bad for small children. However, I do watch my fuel supply closely because I live rural, even though I doubt all 10 or so gas stations in proximity to my route would be all suddenly offline. /Even/ if that did happen, I'd still be ok. The whole idea I go for with my go-box in the car, is that it gives me options. If something goes wrong at work, I have additional tools and supplies to help us fix the problem and continue to give patient care. If a disaster happens and I will not be going home for a while in order to maintain clinical operations, I have some supplies on hand that will allow me to stay longer, independent of what is available (or not) to others. If a security contingency happens, I have the ability to return fire for a while. If my car fails, I have plenty of supplies with which to make the 5-hour trek home by foot, assuming that /absolutely nobody/ could help me out. All of these are highly unlikely scenarios, but I'm prepared nonetheless. And this is all essentially a mobile module or a portable version of what we have at home. If I'm out, I have my car. In the rare events that I'm out and don't have my car, I upgrade my EDC significantly. However, there's no EDC that can fit nearly as much supplies as the trunk of a vehicle!
