That's not a bad kit you have there, but I would add a decent compass along with a topo map of your general area as you pointed out redundancy. You might also want to consider a slightly larger fixed blade knife, using your folder for batoning is not a really great idea. One other thing that you may find useful is a small folding saw like the Silky. Like somebody else pointed out a small stove like the Esbit or the BCB they both fold up to a small size and they also come with fuel tabs that can be used to heat stuff up or help start a fire.

Definitely agree, some additional simple and more streamlined ways to locate/find ones bearings would be a nice add on top of the Garmin and the cheap tiny compass I have. Topo map would be clutch. A higher quality compass, a smaller silky saw that folds up and a proper bushcraft fixed blade would be good kit adds. I will look into the Esbit stove, guessing they are titanium or stainless steel/foldable for light weight. Thank You! 👊

Like the bag and kit within it, I'd add a lightweight sleeping pad to use within the bivvy in the event of sleeping low profile in a SHTF situation to stay hidden and warm. We use blizzard bags here in the UK and any ex army types will tell you they are great, but a lot better if a pad used with them. I would also add some additional lightweight food (dehydrated) to ensure if you are delayed on your get home or bug out then a good meal is available with just hot water, saves seeking supplies elsewhere in a SHTF situation and ensures you have the fuel to get home! Thanks for making the video

@RobinsonReconnaissance

Good question. I usually EDC carry my loaded gun inside the waistband appendix carry. My kydex holster also has an extra slot for my 2nd magazine (1 loaded magazine in the gun plus 1 additional magazine ready to go). So my additional 25 rounds of 9mm are just kept in a bag for pure convenience, to also keep them dry in a waterproof bag, and to prevent any lead contamination on anything else in the pack. So technically I have 15+1 per magazine on my person x 2 for 32 rounds loaded at the ready, plus the additional 25 rounds in the ziplock bag = 57 Total Rounds.

My first priority is water, where to get it, and how to clean water for survival. A personal water filtering straw fixes that Emergency " LifeTent", they are small and can be used as a tent ( you can put two people in it). It can also be used as an emergency sleeping bag and a blanket. Always have a medical kit. I myself have several kits that I put together, and they all carry the following: Tourniquet ×2 Isreal Bandages ×2 Bleedstop ×2 Packing gauze ×3 Chest Seal ×2 Heavy flow Bandages (different sizes) Gloves ×2 Butterfly Bandages ×6 Superglue ×2 individual pk Penlight Flashlight Tweezers different sizes Dental Floss ×1 roll Sterile Scalpel ×4 Wound Seal ×2 Tylenol ×4 Ibuprofen ×4 AfterBite ×1 Burn Gel ×4 Stick to itself cotten wrap ×2 Medicated Bandages with Bleedstop ×2 Alcohol Wipes ×3 But besides the medical aspect of this bag, I carry several ways for survival Survival Cards ×4 Knife ×2 Emergency Whistle Emergency mirror Emergency Blanket Emergency Firestarter/ striker Emergency Fire Starter ×3 Life Straw That is my basic EDC bag, and I have several of them.

I chose to keep items to a minimum to keep weight down. I used a small backpack as an overnight bag with a boy scout knife (can opener important), and no other knives, frogtog poncho for shelter, a minimal survival kit. I live north if Houston, so mist if my walk would be urban, so I won't need any weapons and can use store porches for shelter without building one. I think that 100 dollar bills are not as useful as ones and fives, store keepers won't be able to make change. A roll of quarters is a great thing to have.

Thus, time for a rebranding. A prescient rebranding is in order! And jee golly gosh darn I tell you for what! That is a fantastic new name for it! Bravo! Get home bag. Yes.
