That’s a nice little pelican case! And that bracelet OOO!

As someone who has long hair… I can’t even grasp how you roll around the wild with your hair down.

You must have the patience of a saint.

When I was a kid many years ago I took a hunters safety course here in the US State of NH. They had us create a survival pack. It had a bunch of essential things like a foil blanket, compass, whistle, knife, duct tape, the blade from a saw with one half covered in tape to cut small branches and take up little space. The one thing I liked the most was we got the strike anywhere matches and melted wax to cover the striker end and put those in a water proof case. This was a good project for me and my dad to put together. I had these for years after my dad passed until some Jerk a lurk stole them from my Jeep.

Anyway I liked this video maybe I will make myself another survival kit just for the memories and maybe save my life ;)

Need to add paper (sm. notepad) and pen/pencil, sharpie marker. electrolyte tablets, duck tape, sm. emg. blanket :) great little kit you got started.. "Be Prepared"

[richardorgan]

that's a person who enjoys what she's doing and well prepared 🙂

This kind of stuff is always fun, especially cool things like that Pelican box. I’d suggest adding an emergency foil blanket if it isn’t already part of the first aid kit, as well as a quality jump starter like the Gooloo 4000A for the truck.

I keep my R40 stocked with cigars. As for my get home bag, I kept fire, water, first aid (2), a fixed blade knife, firearm, and spare magazines. I also keep it stocked with food, water, and a shelter system.

Storing water bottles upside down in the winter. Water freezes from the top-down. So storing it upside down allows drinkable water on top. Also, use a water 'flask' made of skins and wear it against the body in the winter. Also keeps it from freezing.

Kit looks good. I carry all of mine in a back pack so I can walk with hands free. I also have a flare gun. About 40 bucks and carry about 9 rounds of flares.

Awesome bag! I really like that case! My old scoutmaster used to tell us to pack what we will need then think about things that you might not neccessarily need but could use, he always said it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it! Take care! Love, hugs and peace!✌

Nice little setup! About the solar power bank: I have found that keeping it on the dashboard, tucked up against the windshield, lets it get some charging almost all the time.

Thank you for the video, I would recommend adding two items for your truck if you do not already have them, a small shovel, and a heavy long tow strap.

I swear by Darn Tough for hiking, mountain biking and trail running. Great fit, cushion and foot support. Good choice.

👏👏👏, currently a ash walking stick with a nail in the end, tent, snow brush and 🤦‍♂️ weeks worth of garbage...

Have always had a "go bag" in my vehicle, called be prepared. Kind of a boy scout thing.

Awesome setup! Check out the grayl water bottle, it covers the water bottle aspect and also covers the filtering of water. The filter is also better than the sawyer filter.

nice kit, I like that you aren't packing 500 things and it's actually carryable and not too heavy. With that said, I have a few small suggestions of things to add:
1. a few zip lock bags. Great for storing/carrying water, waterproofing electronics if you're forced to walk or camp in the rain unexpectedly, etc.
2. a reflective emergency blanket - small lightweight, I think everyone knows why it's useful
3. contractor (heavy mil) trash bag. Great to use as a tarp or poncho in a pinch
4. caffeine pills or instant coffee, good for morale and keeping awake and alert in case you need to.
5. A bit of cash, you never know when that can come in handy
6. lip balm or vaseline. good for chapped lips obviously, but also cuts & scrapes and usable as firestarter depending on the type you get.
7. a bit of gorilla tape. great for basic repair and tons of other uses.
8. a pair of gloves. your hands are you best tools, espcially in an emergency you need to protect them.



None of these are heavy or take up much room, but can add a lot of flexibility and capability to your bag.

thanks for great videos as always.

I love the short videos when they are instructive. Longer ones are more for entertainment and some educational. Awesome video keep the content coming have a great day.

[lisajohnston]

Great kit and I agree with the comments below of additional items to add. I would suggest moving those items to a 25 or 35L day hiking backpack in case you have to walk home or to safety. Also keep appropriate clothing and footwear to change into for the walk. We don't always wear the appropriate clothing for a long walk when we do our day to day travels.
